THAT TREASURY SHORTAGE.

The statement by State Auditor Ora
ham with reference to the condition of
the state treasury makes it clear that
while there is plenty of money available
in the other departments, the shortage in
the department Of justice will probably
reach S35, 900 before July l. This is due,
as the auditor explains, to the unexpected
increase in cost OF caring for Jail prison
ers resulting from recent changes in the
commitment laws. As the constitution
requires special appropriations for the
different departments, it is not allowable
to transfer any of the money from the
pockets we'll supplied to the pocket emp
ty and thus pay the bills. A temporary
arrangement had to be made to tide over
and Lieut.-Governor Mead has come to
the rescue and will supply the necessary
funds to keep things running till the
close Of the present fiscal year. He does
this in the expectation OF being reim-
bursed by the next legislature, although
it is not legal loan, inasmuch as the
state officials are not empowered to bor-
row in this way.
We do not see that anybody is special
ly at fault for the present condition. The
precise effect of the new commitment
laws could not be foreseen-in fact, il
was with view to economy that the
change was made. The fault will be rem
edied at the first opportunity. We may
expect a similar shortage in this same de-
partment during the next fiscal year,
from the same cause, but if there should
be surplus in the other departments
sufficient to cover it the net condition
would be satisfactory. It has seemed tc
US that some doubt might fairly arise on
this point, but we hope to be shown in
error.
# is, Of course, a convenience to ths
state, and especially to the officials anc

An Advance Step for the cnurches

Why is IL that the overwhelming ma
iority OF the people of Vermont. the state
in which the finest fruits Of Puritanism
are to be found, are outside of the
churches Why is it that in so many
communities the men of the highest NOR
al worth and largest public spirit are not
church members Why so often that
the churches of the choicest historical an
tecedents, the most scripturally proven
doctrines and the most intense types Of
personal religious experience seek to for
ward the things for which they stand nv
methods which cannot endure the light
of the principles of Christian brother
hood, even though they are worthy to be
called humanitarian or business like +?
Yet at least five of the great denomina-
tions Of evangelical Christendom with
more than 500 preachers and money in
some measure of proportion, are strug-
Cling in the little state OF Vermont, which
IS becoming more and more missionary
territory. Public opinion demands an
swers to these questions. The churches
themselves must get the truth in these
matters and live accordingly or else their
cause is lost.
More than ten years ago a movement
was started toward the passage OF bill
IN the Vermont legislature providing for
clearing house Of standard, unbiased in
formation in regard to the sectarian work
OF the churches. This step was taken bv
men who were not in the churches.
Who knows but, had it not been for the
objection made by the churches. this bill
which was drafted would have been PASSED
ana the commission formed? II was
doubtless this movement which led to the
formation OF the INSTRUMENTATION
Somlty commission in 1899. But in ten
years the commission which was formed
has not done the work which the original
movers anticipated.
But the churches are waking up to the
situation. With six declarations Of local
churches at Williston, Castleton. Ran
dolph Center, Randolph, Guildhau and
ralriee and with two cases Of organic
church union at Randolph and Iincolp
the churches are learning that. after All

same lesson. The Comfy commission
has walked up also. This commission.

nominations. has now done the thing
which has long been desired. II has

II the Senatorial standpatters feel that
they are improving Republican chances
by keeping up the tariff rates, they will
certainly be undeceived later. They may
get Democratic support for high duties
from the South, when that section is
affected, but they can expect no electoral
votes there. The Middle west-sbsolute-
ly indispensable to Republican success
is in open revolt. With Democratic
presidential candidate like John A.
johnson of Minnesota to lead, and Re-
publican recreancy to talk about, there
would be little chance in states like Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas.
The prevalent idea out there is that tariff
revision is being thimble-rigged by a
bunch OF Eastern senators for the particu-
lar benefit Of the East, and that convic-
ton alone will surely spell defeat il not

may veto the tariff bill, but a much bet
ter way, il he is not suited, would be to
use his influence in advance in correcting

Quite likely he is correct, and entitled to
