without conviction. He suddenly yield

Milar had gone into an anteroom

Republican Extray.x.nc..

As long as the boom In business con-
tinued there was not much notice taken
of the extravagant appropriations by
Congress- but now the boom has busted
and Republican prosperity has vanish
ed, and the receipts of the government
are running at the rate Of 100000, 600
behind the outlay, one would think 1t
WAS time to economic. But the pres
ent Congress is more extravagant than
ever and seems determined to leave the
national cupboard bare for the incom-
ing Democrats, as the Republicans did
under similar circumstances in 1884,
when President Cleveland wns first
elected. The fact is the Republican
managers are good spenders like gam
blers, but what is now needed and
what the country must come to is care
full spenders, who while providing all
revenue necessary for the government
will not waste the substance of the
people.
