speeches Mcdonald has been making
here and there for the past several
months are really campaign speeches
and maintain he has more tricks up
his sleeve than Moudini
But it is being noted that support
crs of the other candidates for gov
crnOr do not look as worried as they
did and that instead Of regarding the
claims of the Mcdonald supporters
with long and serious faces. as was
the case until four or five weeks ago.
they now seem serene and undisturb-
ed when the talk turns to Mcdonald
how many voters he has already got
ten and how many he will get when
they are counted.
In other words, there is a definite
feeling in political circles and else
where over the state that Mcdonald
is not making the gains he has been
making and that his campaign is de-
finitely slowing down. Some even
think he has already reached his peak
of popularity over the State and that
from now on he is going to have all
he can do to hold what he now has
here are still willing to concede that
if the primary should be held today,
Mcdonald would probably lead. they
point out that neither Clyde r. Hoey.
of Shelby, nor SANDY Graham, of
Hillsboro, has Opened up yet. But
when these other candidates do open
upon Mcdonald and the issues invOlv
cd, it is maintained that the situation
is going to look very different from
the way it does now So far McDOn-
aid has had smooth sailing, plenty of
rope, and a curious public anxious to
get a. look at him and hear what he
has had to say. But more than the
ability to arouse curiosity is neccs-
sary to get votes and active support.
it is maintained. Tt is also conceded
that Mcdonald is proving to be good
Snowman and entertainer But the
best clowns do not always get tho
most votes.
One of the reasons for the growing
conviction among many observers
that Mcdonald is definitely slowing
down in his quest for votes is the fact
that many people just cannot under
stand how the Winston-Sa]em school
teacher proposes to remove the sales
tax, and thus reduce the States rev.
enue by at least $1O,000,OOO year,
and at the same time increase State
expenditures for schools, social Sc
c,lrity, old age pensions and other
things to the extent of about w.
900, 900 year. A lot of people are De-
ginning to ask where he plans to get
all this other revenue.

more than $1,000 persons killed as
result of automobile accidents. It is
difficult to arrive at anything like
accurate figures. But we know-any

disgraceful, alarming, a thoroughly

"The campaign cry is, Balance the

wouldn't balance the budget much

would cut relief too much there would
be riots.
Nor would the Republican abolish

ID. {. TO CREATE
SURPLUSFUND

Surplus of $S,SOO,OOO will be
accumulated at the end Of the
1887 fiscal year, it was calcu-
lated at the District Building to-
day, as the result Of the mu-
nicipal budget submitted yester-
day to Congress.
Under the terms of this budget
the sum Of $4,377,0OO was slashed
from the recommendations made
by the Commissioners to the
Budget Bureau. The Federal con-
tribution also was pared from a
Commissioners recommendation
Of $8,317,O0O to 100000.
The Budget Bureaus refusal to
allow expenditure of full funds,
which will create the surplus, has
brought about an attitude among
District officials against any pro-
poSalS for increased taxation.

MILLIONS
T0H0USEWAR

A new War Department building
to cost probably $15,000.000 will
soon be a reality.
The budget message for the
fiscal year 1887 was transmitted
to Congress carrying a recommen'
dalton for an appropriation Of
$4,000, 900, half of which could be
used during the coming fiscal year
for beginning the new War De-
partment project.
The new building would be
bounded by Nineteenth and
Twenty-Second SITS, and E and F
Sts., and is expected to be a stone
structure Of eight stories.
The Treasury Department will
proceed with the plans for the
building as soon as the appropria-
ton is granted by Congress.
Need for the new War Depart
ment building is shown in the fact
that the departments work is now
being conducted in nearly a score
Of buildings located, not only in
different sections of the city, but
also in nearby Virginia.

SILVER SPRING, Jan. IA re-
duction in the Maryland state
liquor tax to permit the Mont
gomery county dispensaries to
compete with Washington mer-
chants in liquor prices, will be ad-
vocated by the Montgomery coun-
ty liquor control board when the
State legislature convenes in spe-
cial session at Annapolis next
month.
Ralph S. Fowler, chairman Of
the liquor board, pointed out to-
day that the county'S diSpensarieS
are placed at an unfair disadvant-
age under the present set up, as
Maryland's liquor tax is double
that of the District of Columbia.
The tax per quart in the District
is approximately IA cents as COM
pared with % cents in Maryland,
Mr.. Fowler said, while Virginia
with no State tax can underSell
both the District and Maryland in
it's diSpenSary system.
