M. Cleveland's Great Speech
in New York


in New York
The speech of ex-Presidert
Grover Cleveland in Carnegie
Hall, New York, last Friday night
is generally acknowledged to have
been one of tho most severe
arrangements of the Inconsistencies
and hypOcracies of the Republican
party yet delivered in the present
campaign. He produced facts
and figures which were unanswer-
able, and which the four thousand
auditors applauded to the echo.
Mr.. Cleveland is recognized as
one of the foremost citizen CT this
republic, and when he speaks he
commands the attention of the
country. This speech is remark.
able for its boldness. He takes up
the pretensions of the Republican
party-that they preserved the
monetary standard; that they
gave the country prosperity; that
call the patriotism and all the
governing ability Of our citizen
ship are found among the MEM
bers of one political party" The
ex-president laughs all these to
scorn. He makes no apologies for
his party nor for the manner in
which he served either his party
or the business interests of the
country; but, on the contrary, he
makes Il direct attack upon the
intrenched lines of his political adj
versaries. While Mr.. Cleveland
was contending for the mainte
nance Of sound currency many Of
the Republican leaders were, he
says, worse than lukewarn in
the cause. Mckinley was frankly
for free silver; Roosevelt was de-
nouncing the single gold standard;
Lodge was trying to induce Eng
land to join the United States to
re-establish silver; Speaker Can
non was bitter in his opposition to
what he now calls sound money"
Mr.. Cleveland scouts the claim
that this party is making of hay
ing saved the national faith and
honor. "Such arrogance" he
says, sis not new to the party
which now seeks at tn, hands of
the people a renewal Of cur govern
ment's control, but it has grown
10y what it has fed upon as now
shanelessly to assume that the
tine has arrived when popular
he ed lssness or dullnes, will per.
nit Boosting and reckless assertion
TO pass for truth and reason"
Referring to the boast that this
administration has crushed the
trusts, Mr.. Cleveland asserts that
the huge combinations which in
iuriously affect the people still
flourish. His denunciation of the
Methods of the campaign is
;cathing. No one, he declares,
IAN recall campaign sin which
he advantages of present party
control have been so pslpably and
lnblushingly used for its perpetu-
ltion or in which the functions
to the entire American

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
Congress Takes q Holiday.

Congress adjourned Wednesday until
January 4, 1905.
The session of the Senate lasted only
four minutes. The attendance was
small and no business except the receipt
Of number Of nominations from the
President was attempted.
The House was in session little
more than halt an hour. The time was
occupied chiefly in discussion of the
Senate's resolution granting to the in
augural committee permission to use
certain public Buildings and reserva-
tons, including the use Of the Pension
Building for the inaugural ball.
Mr.. Morrell explained that the resc-
luton was exactly as it came from that
body, and said that after consultation
with the members of the District OF
Columbia Committee, and in view of the
very evident desire of the House that
the inaugural ball shall be held in the
Pension Building, it had been decided
to accept the Senate's resolution in its
entirety.
Mr.. Williams (Miss)' offered an
amendment requiring the inaugural COM
mittee to give bond to insure the repairs
of all damage done to public reserva-
tons and buildings.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) opposed con-
sideration OF the resolution at this time,
when, he said, quorum of the House

A sloo, 100000 Deficit.

According to the latest expert esti-
mate of Government expenditure on a
reasonably economic basis and of re-
ceipts from the present revenue laws
the deficit for the fiscal year 1905 is like
ly to amount to $Ioo 100000.
The Government has been running
behind on monthly average for this
fiscal year of $5,I85,45o.33, and even if
the expenses are not augmented by
the passage of the necessary river and
harbor bill and public buildings bill,
and if the expenses of the navy are not
increased, the continuance of this rate
of deficiency would result in deficit
amounting to $62,225,4o3.o6, or $780,
100000 greater than the deficit of the
year 1904. But the Government is COM
mitted to river and harbor improve
ments and the erection of necessary
public buildings, as well as to an in
crease in the navy. If reasonable al
lowance of $25oooooo for river and
harbor improvements, SIo,ooo,ooo for
public buildings and 100000 increase
in the naval bill be made. it will bring
the deficit up to the $Ioo.ooo,ooo mark.
On the most economical basis of appro-
priations this small provision for river
and harbor and public buildings and
very small increase in the naval bill
can hardly be avoided Assuming that
the Administration will stand pat" on
its military and naval policy, there can
be no cut in the provision of either OF
these establishments, and besides the
needs of the postal system are grow
ing.

while it may cause hunger and want to
