rA,RTY-six MILLIONS IN THREE MONTHS.

In the heat of tle political discus sion sight seems to have been lost of the most eloquent of facts-namely, that n competent. not to say inspired administration is continuing to pile up . treasury deacit. For the first quarter of the fiscal year. which end ed with Hast month. the deficit was s36. .o0o, ,Ooo. IL has not stopped ana there Is every prospect the prediction of Congressman Tawney that 1t will equal lso.Ooo,eo00 for the year will be realized.
 Possibly there has not been shown greater indifference to administrative responsibility since Nero hddied while Rome burned, but ,: Is certain that the next president, whoever he may be, win have a heritage of trouble, Not politician las mentioned the matter. No stump speaker waxes eIo. quent over this astonishing situation which is fraught with graTest dan. ger. Retrenchment. with probable crippling of efficiency. or higher taxa. ton are the alternatives. but they seem to have no tearing on the cam. paign.
 The republican, will doubtless make a snug reply that. in good times, they will attend to that. Sc cretly they are dorbtiess rejoicing that, in the contingency of Bryau-s election, he will be made to shoulder the onus of their extravaganza. The situation is not disstmilar to that oi 1892 and the years that followed when the democrats were the inherit ors of the burdens that came as tne natural and legitimate product of 8 term of republican mismanagement Their mismanagement is now so pain fully obvious that it is astonishing anyone at all will consider maintain ing in power party that has shown such woeful incompetency, which has wrecked the nation, prosperity and gives no indication of being anything but supremely satisfied with the job

The Courtland mining district is be ginning to attract IuCre and more at tention. It has beer visited during the last ten days by many of the prominent mining men of this section and they all agree that the work which has been done there gives promise that the CoGTtland mines will prove 10 be equal n the best copper mines which have been developed in Arizona in the past.

A FAILING OFF IN CHURCH AT
TENDANCE.

New York papers and preachers
discouraging accounts of the decline
in number of those attending church
in New York, and if their statistics
be accepted, and their deductions be
admitted to be correct, there will be
very little use for churches in that
city before many years.
1t is doubtful whether New York
can fairly be taken as a test of the
matter, for that city is in a class to
itself. The commercial spirit is there
essentially dominant; the struggle
for money is constant and intense,
in great part from sheer necessity
to meet the demands of daily life:
the concerns of this life are there
instant always and uppermost in
every mind. The poor from necessity
are bound to consider them, while
the idle rich, dwelling in luxury
manifest that indifference to every
thing which lies beyond the passing
hour-a condition of mind which
great riches and sybarite luxury seem
to have unfailingly produced in every
age of the world
Then, to judge by the sermons one
reads, the preaching in New York
seems to have but little relation to
human needs. Religion is not a mat
ter OF metaphysical abstraction, or
severe intellectual investigation. Peo-
pie do not go to church-at least
those who are troubled by the con-
Germs of daily life-to hear a lot of
glittering generalities or a semi-po-
ing.
The Divine Teacher, the worlds
greatest preacher, taught and en-
forced immortal and saving fruits by
the simplest illustrations. drawn
from birds and seeds and sheep and
pieces of money, and he spoke of
trust and faith and of comfort for
the sorrowing, and of love for your
neighbor, and he had a healing balm
for every wounded and sorrowing
heart. People do not want to hear
advice about politics, or business. or
social duties, from the pulpit. Those
are matters which they can decide
for themselves
What is needed to bring people to
church is the old, simple, enduring
religion Of faith and hope and trust
and love. that makes better men and
women here and gives assurance Of
happiness hereafter. The world is
full OF sorrow, full Of people, who
need cheer and comfort and helpful
preaching. The number OF such in
New York is myriad and when they
