Every Republican SHOULD Re = Mis-
EonArt For Tan snA Sherman.
'The shadows murnur while the
deeps are dumb b saying to be kept
IN mind In the present stage OF the ma
tional campaign. The nrm, settled pur-
pose Of the great majority of voters
that Republican rule shall continue.
that Taft and Sherman shall be elected
president and vice president Of the
United States and that the candidate
Of free silver and free trade, Of nnan-
cial chaos and public discredit, shall
not be allowed to make the national
government q subject for his inounfe-
bank schemes and crazy experiments
accounts for much that is called apathy.
A large proportion Of the voters do
NOT deem 1t necessary to advertise their
own sanity by demonstrations such as
have attended great crises In the past.
They regard the two previous rejec-
tons Of Organism as proof abundant
that the coming election will go the
same way and that the country is in
no danger Of surrender to the twice
beaten charlatan, whose political rec
ord Is the best evidence that he has no
real principles and Is willing to be
anything that he thinks will tickle the
galleries. That this feeling is preva-
lent Is obvious to any one taking the
trouble to make personal inquiry
among business men, workingmen and
the professions.
1t is not well. however. that Repub-
licans should be content with meaning
to do right themselves. The number
of those who are liable to be influ-
enced by Bryan's sophistries, by his
utterly unfounded but constantly re-
iterated aspersIons, his plausible fall
lacies and deliberate falsehoods, al
though small as compared with the
total of the electorate. Is not to be
ignored. and no effort should be spared
to bring them to a due appreciation OF
their obligations to the country and to
themselves. The time has come for
every Republican to make himself a
missionary IN behalf OF Tan and Sher-
man. to speak out his own thoughts
and to influence MS far as possible the
opinions OF others concerning the is-
sues at stake In the pending cam
paign. The fact that Intelligent citi-
zens everywhere believe that Taft Will
be elected Is not enough. The voting
population Includes a considerable pro-
portion Of those who require some
stimulus toward a correct and compre-
hensive grasp Of what u at stake In
the contest, Of the widespread disaster
that Bryan's success would bring upon
business, now happily emerging from
recent depression; OF the collapse OF
the structure OF national credit that
bis mere presence at the head Of the
government would undoubtedly IN
volye. Of the utter untrustworthiness

PLAN INTERURBAN FROM
ABERDEEN TO TACOMA

Aberdeen, June PA meeting of
prominent capitalists was held Thurs
day for the purpose of taking prelim-
mary action in the matter of securing
an interurban trolley line between this
place and Tacoma. A number of the
leading business men of this place and
Hoquiam are interested in the prop
osition.
Financial support to the amount of
81 100000 is said to be available for
bonding if enough other money can be
secured. Committees have been ap-
pointed to look after financing the
plan.
The proposed line would finish out
the proposed interurban route from
Aberdeen to Olympia, the portion be-
tween this place and Tacoma already
being provided for. Local service
would be given Montesano, Satsop,
Elma and other places in the county
now depending on the railroad entire
ly for transportation.

FORT CASEY GUNNERS
BREAK TARGET RECORDS

Port Townsend, June 81 That some
of the best gunners in the United
States army are at present stationed
on the Pacific coast was proved during
the target practice at Fort Casey re-
Gently, when all known records were
broken. During the shooting twelve
shots were fired in eleven seconds at
target 3Ox50 feet in size, three miles
away and moving under tow at speed
of seven miles an hour. Eleven out Of
the twelve shots were scored as hits.
This remarkable shooting was done
by companies No. IS and Il. No. IS,
under Captain Sewer, scored five hits,
while No. II, commanded by Captain
Hero, sent six missiles true to the
mark. This breaks all known target
records.

FEDERAL RECEIPTS FALL
FAR BELOW ExpENe..

Washington, June 29.-The forth
coming statement of the treasury
ceipts and expenditures for the fiso.,
year ending June 80, 1908 will SHOW
a marked falling off in receints ..
compared with the year 1907 and
large increase in the expenditures
The decrease in the amount of ,o
ceipts of $64,000,OOO and the increased
expenditures of $SO,00O,OOO makes .
difference against the treasury for tba
fiscal year of $144,OOO,O 900.
The excess of expenditures over ~
ceipts for the year will approximata
$60,000,000, which has been exceeded
only twice since the civil war In
1894 there was a deficit and in 1900
there was another of little over
$89, 100000, and in each of the four
intervening years the receipts fell
considerably below the Disbursements
Again in 1904 and 1905 there were
shortages Of $4,177,O 900 and s23, 100000
respectively.
The total receipts this year have
been about $685., 100000, or s64, 900 1000
less than for the fiscal year 1907
Customs receipts have fallen off
about $46,OOO,OOO from those of 1907
while the receipts from internal rev.
enue resources are short nearly So.
OOO, 900.
Miscellaneous receipts will show
slight gain.
The disbursements for the year
have aggregated about 1858, 100000, or
$SO,O0O,000 more than for 1907 and
$14, 100000 more than for any year
since 1865, not excepting the Spanish
war period. Although these in
creased disbursements are very gen.
eral and are shown in nearly every &C.
count except that of interest on the
public debt, some Of the heaviest Of
them were for important permanent
improvements.
The Panama canal during the clos
ing year has cost the government $sS.
600, 1000, as against $27, 10000 for the
year 1907, and the work this year in
connection with the reclamation Of
the public lands has cost about SIS.
100000, which is not far from last
years figures.
The deficiency in the postal rev.
enues for the present year will prob.
ably reach $13,5O0,00O, as against ST..
100000 for 1907, making a difference
OF $6,OOO,000. This is the largest pos
tai deficit in the history of the gov
eminent, except in 1905, when it
reached nearly $15,OOO,OOO. The rec
ords show that there has been pos
tai deficiency every year since the
establishment of the service, with the
exception of twelve, when small sur
pluses were shown. The expenses for
the rural free delivery this year are
not expected to fall below SIS, ZOO, OO@

cLEvELAND'S HISTORY.

Grover Cleveland was born at Cald-
WELL Essex county, N. j., March 10,
1887. AS country boy he left home
when 16 years of age, charged not
only with the necessity of making his
own way in the world, but with the
responsibility of providing for his
mother and sisters. He fought the
battle sturdily and not only won, but
achieved the highest honors that can
come to an American
His father was a Presbyterian min
lister. The son was christened Stephen
Grover, in honor of Rev. Stephen Grow
er, who had preceded Rev. Cleveland
in the pastorate of the little church
at Caldwell. In even the earliest
childhood of the boy, however, the
parents omitted the name Stephen and
addressed him always as Grover. The
son always signed his name as Grover.
His father died in 1853. His money.
it was found, had been expended for
the education of his children. It de-
veloped upon Grover, then 16 years
OF age, to qualify as contributing
member of his family. Through his
brother, who was connected with the
New York institution for the blind, he
secured appointment there as assist
ant teacher.
Studies for the Law.
Two years gave him enough of teach
ing. He was ambitious to become a
lawyer and to work in a field that
offered more advantages than could
be found in the East. The city of his
choice was Cleveland, Ohio. All of
hi0 inn h
to his mother, he required borrowed
capital to get his start in the world
The amount of this capital was $50,
and the friend who gave it to him
was an old man who had been a dea-
con In his fathers church. The lend
er's security was note signed by the
boy That it was sufficient was
proved two years later when he re-
ce1ved remittance covering the
amount of the loan with interest.
Grover started in 1855 for Cleveland
by way of the Erie canal. He stopped
over for day at Buffalo to visit a
rich uncle, Lewis F. Allen. The latter
prevailed upon the youthful pilgrim
to make his home in Buffalo. He
provided Grover with six weeks work
at $40 a week to assist in the COM
pllatlOn or herd book and secured
for him place in the office of prom
inent law firm. As a clerk he received
81 week
Admitted to the Bar.
In 1859 Cleveland was admitted to
the bar. He remained in the service
OF the law firm as managing clerk. in
view of which dignity and honor his
stipend was increased to $40 week
On January /, 1863, he was appoint-
ed assistant district attorney of Erie
county. He allowed himself the hare
necessities Of life. Every surplus dor.
lar was sent to his mother and sis-
tiers. At this time he was drafted for
service in the Union army. He bor-
rowed money and sent a substitute
70 the war. Much was made Of this
fact in the political campaigns Of later
days. Friends OF Cleveland RENTED
tnat his action was in accordance with
the customs Of those days when some
members OF family went to war
while others remained to care for the
dependent ones. Two OF Cleyeland,s
brothers were in the army.
In 1866 Cleveland was nominated

JUNE GOLD
RECEIPTS
OVER FIVE MILLIONS BROUGHT
TO SEATTLE FIRST MONTH
OF THE SEASON.
Reports From All Alaska Camps lndl-
cate That the Season VIII Show
\ cIeanups Above Estimates Previous
Iy Made -Nome Boats Will Soon Ar
rive in Seattle.

Seattle, June 27.-Alaska has start
ed In to break the record of former
years with its gold shipments. It was
on June Is that the City of Seattle
brought down the first of the gold
shipments, amounting to nearly $4,000
900. On the Jefferson, which arrived
today, there was $1,0oo,00O. and on the
Spokane, due Monday, there is con-
signed no less than $1,510,000. The
gold all comes from the Tanana, Circle
City and Klondike districts.
These are mail shipments in most
instances, but the Victoria, which is
expected to arrive from Nome in the
next forty-eight hours, will have on
board in express shipments $1,000,O00,
bringing the total receipts for the
month Of June up to over $4,000, 1000.
Reports coming from every district
in Alaska indicate that the recent esti-
mate of $26,000,000 was conservative,
for where there are winter dumps
there is plenty of water, and many
new fields are being opened up. Sum-
mer work in every camp in Alaska will
be carried on to greater extent than
ever. The July receipts, which will
represent June washups, will exceed
June receipts.
The gold which is arriving on the
first boats represents but a small por-
ton of the winter washups. When it
was shipped the season was not far
advanced, for much of it has been
nearly three weeks on the road.
Treasure ships have become so COM
mon in Seattle that news of. the COM
ing of the Seattle and jefferson
caused but little comment, although it
was the concensus of opinion that the
gold will be of immense value in in
creasing the circulation of money in
this city.
II May can produce $4,000, 900, and it
is May shipments that are arriving
now, the rest of the summer months
can be looked upon as exceeding this
figure, SO that Alaska may yet forge
ahead of the most favorable estimate
made. Several Nome boats are due
next week and each of these will carry
gold. In the meantime shipments are
being forwarded from all Tanana and
Yukon river points.

CLEVELAND
OBSEQUIES
SIMPLE SERVICES MARK BURIAL
OF FORMER PRESIDENT AT
PRINCETON.
Distinguished Assemblage OF States
men and Personal Friends Gather at
Grave for Silent Tribute-6urial IN
Cleveland Plot at Princeton Beside
Daughter.

Princeton, N. j., June 27.-Grover
Cleveland's body lies buried beside his
daughter Ruth in the Cleveland plot in
Princeton cemetery.
At 6 o'clock yesterday, just as the
sun was sinking, distinguished COM
pany silently watched as the body was
lowered into the grave. Then the sim
pie burial service of the Presbyterian
church was read and before the last
carriages in the cortege had driven up
to the path leading to the burial place
the benediotion had been pronounced
and the members of the family, Presi-
dent Roosevelt and others who had
gathered about the grave were leaving
the cemetery.
Many of the personal friends Of the
dead statesman fingered about the
spot which was to mark his last rest
ing place. and each in turn was per-
mitted to cast a shovelful of earth into
the grave.
Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs.
Cleveland, the services both at the
house and at the cemetery were of the
simplest character
An invocation, Scriptural reading, a
brief prayer and the reading of Will
liam Wordsworth poem, Character of
the Happy Warrior" constituted the
services at the house, while the read
ing of the burial service at the grave
was brief and impressive ceremony.
Although the funeral was of a strict
ly private nature, those in attendance
number many distinguished citizens,
including President Roosevelt, Gov
errors Fort of New Jersey, Hughes of
New York and Hoke Smith of Georgia,
former members of President Cleve-
lands cabinet, officials of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, members
of the Princeton University faculty
and friends and neighbors.
Mr.. Cleveland was buried with all
the simplicity and privacy that he him
self might have wished, as private
citizen rather than as the former presi-
dent of the nation. There was moth
ing that savored of the official, and
the military element was injected
solely as measure or precaution in
protecting President Roosevelt.
