Seeing the Books.

In its extensive exhibits of the
financial Juggling of Democratic
administrations in Missouri during
more than thirty years, beginning
in 1872, the Globe Democrat pre-
sented in detail several phases Of
the crookedness, aud now that tho
state books aud vouchers are ac-
ccssablc, exact figures are obtain
ed in other branches of the sub
iect. a comparison of the books
of the state auditor and the state
treasurer for the years 1897, 1898
and 1899, shows that at times the
ovcrdrafts on the state revenue
fund exceeded 500, 900. The law
forbids the state auditor to draw Il
warrant unless an unexpendcd bal
ance of IL legal appropriation is on
hand to meet it, and the state treas
urer is prohibited by Law from
paying out the states money ex-
from a legal appropriation. These

greater extent than those on the main
line. This was becnusa the branch line
rates were now higher than those % { tho
