The Presidents Last Message.

The violent opposition of the Re-
publican political leaders in congress
to President Roosevelt was accentuat-
ed in the fact that on Monday Of last
week he sent a special message into
both houses of the National Legisla-
ture, and in neither was it read, but
was laid over, with no other expla-
nation than that. congress was too
busy to give it any attention. Since
the days Of Andrew johnson, imme-
diately after the close of the Civil
War of 1861-65, when congress sought
to impeach and unseat the president,
it is doubtful if the chief magistrate
Of the Republic has ever been treated
with such Indifference, and hostility.
There is nothing new in the presi-
dents message. He only urges the en-
actment by congress of measures
which are recognized as embodying
his most radical views in regard to
corporations and capital, and he takes
occasion to chide the national law
making body for its indifference to
what he considers are matters Of vital
policy.

Too Much Booze.

Union City, Tenn.-The inquest
over the killing Of Max Lefils by Doc
Domingus was held and after hearing
the evidence the coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict charging Domingus
with the killing. Domingus was at
once arrested and tried before Squire
Polk. The evidence developed the
fact that the boys were drinking free
ly. They were all drunk and Lefils
accused Domingus of taking his
whiskey. He wanted it and began to
curse Domingus, calling him some very
ugly names. He drew his pistol and
told Domingus that he would kill him,
when Domingus grabbed at the pistol
and threw it in an upward direction.
In the scramble the pistol was dis
charged, the ball passing into the back
part of the jeeeased's head and kill.

DEFICIT IS GROWING
GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES
IN EXCESS OF RECEIPTS.
Losses OF 100000, 900 SHOWN
Treasury Condition of Year Ago
Compared to the Present Time.
Disposition in Congress TO
Riot In Appropriations.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and MEM
bers of the House who have been pom
dering over the warning against any
extravaganza sounded by Senator Al
drich on Saturday, are just beginning
fully to appreciate what that warn
ing meant. He pointed out a deficit
the coming fiscal year of mot far from
s200,O00,O0O, and that means that
unless revenues pick up materially the
special session to revise the tariff will
nave a gigantic task on its hands, not
only of overhauling tariff schedules,
but of revising the whole revenue sys-
tenn. Senator Aldrich predicted a
deficit of $50, ,00O, 900 this fiscal year,
and pointed out that appropriations
would exceed those made by the last
session of congress by $124,0O0,O 1000.
As things stand the special session,
after the Inauguration of the next
president will have to consider the
whole revenue system, including the
inheritance tax plan. A chasm Of
over $100,OO0,000 stretches between
the treasury condition of year ago
and its condition now. This would
not be of so much moment were it
not that things are going from bad
to worse, so far as revenue and ex-
penditures are concerned. A year
ago at this time, the treasury had a
surplus of over $55,000,000. Now, it
has a deficit Of about $47,000,000.
The receipts for the current fiscal year
are about s40,000,oO0 behind those of
the last fiscal year up to the cores
ponding date. The expenditures for
the current fiscal year are more than
$50, ,000, 900 heavier than those for the
corresponding part of the preceding
fiscal year. With revenues diminish
ing and the drain on the treasury in
creasing, the inevitable result Is a
rapidly growing deficit. By the end
of the fiscal year, June 80, it is ex-
pected to run up to 100000, 900, or
more.
