To date the democrats have had

The Host on Herald does not take a
very cheerful vi w of the fiovernm nt's
financial outlook. Iiepuhlican man-apeii-.eju
seems to have put ;be treas
ury in a very bad way. The deficit
-outi::::e roll up a balance on the
vrrons side of the ledger. A'lsais?
shows an excess of expemlit ur. s over
receipts amounting to r.ot far from
$7, 00 "'". This, taken in conr.ee: ion
Tvith the deficit shown in July, will
make a total deficit of more than
$2'j,()'n.f(( for the first two months of
the current fiscal year. The receipts
for August were lighter than those of
the same months of either of the two
preceding years. This decline, says
the Herald, has come very largely
through the falling off in th imports
of flntiable goods, while our imports of
iroods on the free list has advanced.
In more than one instance, the Ding
ley rates of duty arc practically pro
hibitive that is. they are so high that,
instead of turning in a very large
amount of revenue, they produce but
a small amount of income for the
treasury, owing to the limited amount
imported. While the revenue last
month fell far below the level for the
month of August, in either lf"i" or
la":.', the expenditures have advanced
enormously. The gain over the ex
penditures for August last year is IS
per cent, an increase of about one
fifth, and yet we suppose the republi
cans wiil say that the population of
the country has increased, therefore
the epeud it tires must also increase;
and a leading republican organ like
the New York Tribune will welcome
this as another step toward the two
billion mark in congressional expendi
tures. The country is at peace, t he-re
has been no material ehnnsre in the
conditions, as far as the country itself
is concerned, from what ruled in Aug-u.-t
of !'.":; and 1!"-. and yet national
expenditures have advanced by almost
one-fifth in a single year. On any such
ratio of progression ns that our na
tional expondiiures would double even
their present fisrure inside of five years.
Lven with such a condition to be con
sidered, the republican party and the
present administration have as yet
made no declaration in favor of either
economy or retrenchment. Thoe
words evidently d not appear in their
vocabulary. They welcome extrava
gance, as they think it insures the re
tention of a very hii;.h tariff.
The Democratic Campaign Text Book
Advance pages of the democratic
campaign text-book furnish in compre
hensive, an I exhaustive form t''e issues
upon which the campaign " to be
waged, making the tariff and n s'fyter-

the abuses that have grown up under
tariff customs no longer essential to

has failed to modify the existing tar-
ffs. with the result that a confirmation
by t In - people (.f the republican, plat
form can only be taken as a confirma
tion of the policy of government under
which trusts have sprung into exist
ence- and are being daily more encour
aged and aided.
There is an abundance- of other is
iies which are logically a part of the
campaign from the democratic stand
point, the history of the present ad
ministration, brief though its reign has
been, affording in itself a subject to
which the attention of the thinking
people of i ho land may well be intel
liirenily drawn. Happily the f ranters
of the text book, while making this
point plain, have. in adopting the
position of the party standard bearer,
avoided personaliiie-s as far as the re
publican candidate is concerned, a
mark of decency that was so conspicu
ously lacking in the republican text
book in dealing with the democratic
nominee.
Local Interest in the Cause.
The- interest manifested in the
speeches attending the de-mocratic
liag raising Saturday night afforded a
healthful evidence ef the political sit
uation, locally speaking. Notwith

there been more to say. A republican

At tlie P nue iu the mountains
Was a young luanie-d woman whose
I : was white as snow, thuigli there
was net a wrinkle' in her face atul he-r
cla-eks were n reisy red. The,-uests of
the hotel seon came- to ktrnv -:ie-h oth
er, and the white haireel hnly, as we
e al U-d her. was the life- of the house-.
She' said things in a droll way. m;tele
light ef inoonv-cnlene-es and misfortune.-
ainl was gf.v-n to story telling.
()i,e evening 1 ventutvd to ask he-r
if th'r was any cjoise for her prema
tiii''ly wldte hair. A ia!ned look came
on her fae-e, but she could so well as
sume any expression that I was uncer
tain if it were gentrine.
"Thereby hangs a tale,"' she saiel, and
several person wlio hatl lieartl the
qnestlon and reply -drew ne'tr to hear
wl;it was coming.
"I was spending a summer at Lake
SI.," she said. 4,I was engaged to be
married at the ttm, and yott know e:i
gaged peetple ;ire as satisfactory to
themse'Ive-s as thew are unsatisfactory
to every one? lse'. The railway station
ivas half a inih from the? hotel, and
my lover use'el to come tip eutce- er twice1
a week for a short stay, lie ar:ived
on the 7:"o train in the' evening, and I
ulways walked to the station to meet
him. At first it was epiite light at
that hour, but toward the end eif Au
gust it began to grow pretty dark.
"On evening I started to make' the'
walk as usual. I was une-ertaiii ef the
time and was afraiil I woukl be late.
Hurrying through a wooel, I was sud
denly halted by a voice:
'What's your hurry?"
"Before mi" stoee'. the dark form of a
man. I ceuldnt see what he looke.l
like or hew he was dresse-el. I was
very much frightened, but have no re
spect for thee jeople wlie) collapse on
the slightest preiven-.itlon, so I brae-e-d
myself te ceneeal my terror. I replied
calmly :
"I iu going to meet the 7:o' train."
"Oh, you are? Ileekon yer feller's
eomin' up from town. (Jals don't most
ly hurry to meet trains for mother-in-laws
anel tueli like."
"Yeiti are right," I replied. "My
young man is to come in en the train.
I think I'm late. Quite likely it is
already in anel I'm liable to niee-t him
any moment. I think I hear his step
now."
This was n pure bluff, intended tc
let the nifin understand that if he mo
I lested me lie was liable to be overtaken
in the a-t.
j "Oh, I know your feller," lie replied.
"I've se-en you ami him walkln' from
I the station many a time. He's not
! much of a feller."
" :1I you le-t me pass.' I said. "If
not you may Lave an opportunity to
le:.rn what kind of a 'fe ller' lie is. He
can't surely be far away."
"Pen my word, little gal, you're .1
pltf-ky one. Hut as for that slab sided,
kn-xk kneed lover of yours, I've got
something right he-re to fix Lira."
He put ids hand in his pocket end
drv-v out something I couUI not se-e
what it wps. but of course It must be
c pitol - and pointed it right at me. 1
wante-d to shriek, but f-areel the man
would consider a shriek a call for

thus the story goes.
One of the wrecking crew which
has been at work east of this city,
charing away the wreck that occurred
last Wednesday morning, was making
some observations yesterday, and in
the course of his remarks stated that
during the last ,"s days he had been
home but 12 hours. This gives one
a lead on the number of accidents of
this nature that have occurred. The
wrecking crew of which he is a mein-
v have been called from one place
to another at all times of the day and
ni-;ht. havuig. as he says, but 12 hours"
resiiite in two months.
The wrecking crew have p't; tiie last
car em the tracks about the city which
were derailed in the wreck Wednesday
morning, and the assistant trainmas
ter, who has been in charge of the
work, stated last night thai by temicht
;ill the wreckage would be cieaivd up.
