DIsaqreeabIe FiuureS.

The treasury figures for August con-
tain some items that cannot be entire
ly agreeable to the administration. At
the close of the first two months of
the fiscal year there is a change for the
worse as compared with last year of
nearly 1924, 100000. The receipts have
declined nearly $4,000, 900 and the ex-
penses have grown by some SIG. 900. 900.
Of this amount about $4,000, 900 is due
to expenditures for the war depart
ment and some 100000 to expendi-
lures for the navy, or $13 900, 900 in all.
These are not the kind Of increases
that are usually expected in a time of
profound peace. Seven years ago,
preceding the Spanish war, we spent
less than $e5, 600. 900 on the army and
navy. Last year we spent $21S, 600, 900,
and so far this year We have been
spending $54, 100000 in two months,
which is at the rate of 1927 10000 a
year. Of course the total will not run
so high as that, but it will be something
like three times as great as it was sew
en- years since. These are cold facts
which the people. in the course of a
campaign in which the question of the
prudence or imprudence, the peaceful
or the bellicose spirit of the admins
tration are in issue, can hardly fail to
note.-New York Times.

The Issues In the Campaigns.

The national issues as set forth by
the Democratic party could not be
stated more clearly and in fewer wO ds
than the following as put by one OF
the New Y ork campaign speakers in an
address to large audience the other
day. He laid down certain reforms,
which he said would be unierta ken by
Judge Parker, among them baing a
return by the Elective to respect for
law, refusal to NEEDLE with the affairs
of other nations. except as it is neces-
sary to protect our own rights, a sin
cere and persistent effort to reform the
tariff and to abolish or REQ these
duties, the plain effect of which is to
create monopOlies, a return to public
economy, a resolute investigation of
executive departments. the grant of
Independence to the Philippine people.
dissolution Of the partnership be
tween the great Corporations of the
country and the United States govern
ment, refusal of subsidy to the ship
ping interest, a refusal to reopen the
negro question, and thus to interrupt
and we'll nigh Illustrate the high mind
ed and sklllful work being done by
Educational and industrial leaders and
the encouraging progress they are
making towards a solution of the
unique and tremendous difficulty Incl
dent to the presence together at thu
lSouth of two widely differing races.

The True History Of Parker's Gold
Telegram .

The Brooklyn Eagle says it is in a
position to affirm and maintain by
proof these facts:
That Alton Brooks Parker wrote the
famous gold standard dispatch to
William F. Sheehan, then in st. Louis
on Saturday morning. July 9th, at II
o 'clock, and sent the same from the
Esopus telegraph station.
That the telegram was so written
and so sent on Judge Parker's own
initiative, without consultation or
communication with single soul.
That the dispatch was not written
and sent in pursuance of prearrange-
ment and that those who advocated
and advanced his cause in st. Louis
had no knowledge of it.
That Judge Parker reached his de-
termination to send the dispatch after
he had been Informed by the New
York papers of Saturday morning, and
by that means alone, and had compre-
hended in it's entirety the situation as
to the platform in ST. Louis.
That Judge Parker did not antici.
pate or foresee the final action of the
committee in the sixteen hours ses-
sion; that he did not have and could
not have had knowledge of the events

One Baltimore Congressional District
is having troubles of it's own, that is
the so.called Democratic party of one
district of that afflicted city.

cumbent is the German candidate; Ma.

right sure of bis title as We are of Ma
Jor Denny's, so We give them all) is the

Lastly, but by no reahs least. comes
plain Mr.. Curtis the only one Of the
three, we are told, who has voted the
regular Democratic ticket straight
along, and who has no elements of
mugwumpery about him, who seems to
be the peoples candidate.
This triangular fight seems destined
to work out the salvation of the Re-
publican nominee in that district and
thus leave unbroken the late record of
Maryland as being one of the strongest
Republican allies of all the states in
the Union, claiming all the whites to
be Democratic.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular correspondent,

(From our Regular correspondent
Washington, d. c., Sept. 1O-To a
resident of the national capital an end
seems to have come to all partisan &C
tivity. The city has no caucuses, no
conventions, no partisan harangues, no
beseechments to rally and register, no
partisan newspaper, and no patriotism,
for the few clerks who have retained
the privilege of voting in the states
they came from are cautiously waiting
to see which side wins before announce
ing their allegiance. The work of the
Congressional committees goes swift
ly and silently on; some scores of girls
are busily addressing documents and
mule teams are every day dragging to
the post office four or five tons OF
franked stuff-information. allegation.
and protestation.
Congressman Cowherd is back again
from New York. This remark can be
made OF him three or four times week

VERY DANGEROUS.

Mr.. Roosevelt is not allowed to see
any delegations, not even negro dele
cations. Mr.. Mckinley received them
by the hundred. Canton was the Nee
ca of delegations, especially in the cam
paign of 1896. When they came, Mr..
Mckinley talked to them. Mr.. Harri-
son was allowed the same thing in bis
campaign, and the celebrated James
G. Blaine received them at any time
and any place. But Mr.. Roosevelt
cannot be trusted to talk. He has an
idea that he is somewhat of an orator,
and he would be sure to speak, and
every time he would open his mouth
his party managers would trembIe and
expect him to put his foot in it. Dan
gerous, dangerous, is the word. Wild,
untamable, uncomfortable. He would
spoil everything they feel sure, were
he to see delegations and have his lit
tie say. His managers know this and
they gnard him as the hackers of old
John Sullivan used to guard him be-
fore fight. John was fond of booze
and ne had to be watched-Teddy Is
fond of lip service and he must be
guarded. What manner of man is this
whom his party will not trust to talk
Yet such man they are placing in a
position where they cannot control his
actions. If he is wild of speech. he
will be wilder of action, or he is moi
human. The thing to do with so dan
gerous a person, is to defeat him and
defeat him badly, thus rebuking par
| ty which has the audacity to make him
| their candidate.
