by its magnilcent fsnaocial codition, a

a young man, fall of enegy and

his party. He is popular with the t
people, both the business and agricul a
tural e:sses, and is wise and carefu', 9
and no safer mian could be elected to ,
the responaible off-. of governor of a
our great state. He is a man that a
not one thing cnqa be said agtint, r

Senator Cookrell, the leading demo

oppoqe4 to the repablican-i aprrial. e
istic, in reality-plqn.for a large *
standing army, and intends to 46ght t ai
every time it shows its head. He fr
said on the subject: "The armuy s
estabiishmeut is provided for unti w
July 1, 1901, and'thele is no meces w
s ty for legislatioa at this session on of
the subject. This gives us a year g,
and a half to consider the matter and a
decide what had best ihedqne. I am b
in favor of slightly increasing the fJ
rtillery arm of the service, to take t
care of our se coast foe tications,
but I do not think there is now, or
will be in the near futaure, any oc .a .
so for a peroe t increase in the S,
number of intntry or eavatry regs t

'f League has done many absurd things
but all its h5oyts in that lin hbve
Saweoe ec;psed by a circular-letter it
e ha s at to preachers to: the purpose
o,,f trying to get them to say that
church collections are increased by a
protective tarif. The ministers of
Washingtoq are inclined to resent
this attempt to use them for po!itieal
Slrposs. One of them-Dr. Alexan
der Mackay--Smaith--who voted the
t oinion of most of them, said : "The
w ather cut nu more fgure iu church
collecuons than say tarit measure
that could be framed. I have
notices! that co lections frequently
f fall off as much as half on a rainy
Sunday. The attendance at the
lchurch is the greatpt thing to be
considered. If the gendemeu who
are sending out the circulars can
prove that more people go to church
under a protective tariff tha under a
tariff for revenoe, I will be inciutmd
to thalk that there a something in
their contention."
Secretary Gage showed his con
tempt for palic opinion when he
orderet something like n million
dollars a day-the receipts of the
I government tor internal reveaue

L York baunk, peudiug distrbution

quoted as having said of the order :
I "fT'be only saulacun Secretary auge
vouchsafes to the country a that at

the Treasury and the bak.' That
s a eueer way to talk about the
government s ransactioes, sod I
wouldu t be sqrprised it an effort
should be made in the Senate to ask
snome sharp questions abou4 it 1
remember that a big musse was kicked
up during Mr. Cleveland's admiuis
Uration because a much sma:ler sum
of governmeut money was deposited
la widely ecattred banks. In Jack
Juas time Uth same qsuesti.o was
