In VHs matter of foreign affairs the iR

and of other Information ivtllch the state

be embonraBBlng to the administration,
and not serve to make It any more pop-

One matter Uhat has not, in this rush of

and which, is of decided Importance, Is
the question of Uhe boundary between the

Baieh day snakes It more and more ao
parent ttwk some provision mtret be made
for addHlonal revenue for the govern
went. Ever since the 1st of July, 1893,
treasury expendltnres have been exceed
ing the receipt, and the admintotratftn
has been piling up an Immense deficit.
It has been so successful in tMs incom
potent management of governmental fi
nances that the deficit for the Cleveland
administration Is nearly 1131,000,000.
The deficit for the flsotf year endin
June JO, 18H, .was Se,03,2t.j8. The flscat
year ending the 30th of lost June added
H2.806.23.1S to ttas deficit, while the 110
days of the present fiscal year have
shown a deficit of K1.007.1S7.23. In tplte
or repeated announcemeots on the part of
nscretary OarHsle, that the new twill
law would soon produns a surplus, and
wwpiis jucguns; of treisurv namres and
twCdlng back paymeaU, the expenditures
cwunue to exceed tb receipts.
Jt was in June that the Democrats an
nouneed that prosueiitr was returning in
b oountry, and that the Gorman-Wltaon
rtnes tana low wus about to tu a
cessful rsrenos producer. Its failures In
ttoas One srers explained by saying hat
eonnftUons were not favorable to obtain-
rroeipta. Inasmuch as the pres
ent fiscal year began on the 1st of July
tat with the era of prosperity started,
tan Ckamooralta proclaiming the return ot
good times. It Is fair to take the results
of the-tariff bin sln?e that Urns as a fair
indication of whkut was to be expected
tram the new revenue measure. It-raay
be iwetl to examine Its operations. From
July. 1 to and including Oct. 18, 1896, the
government receHpts have aggregated (101,
989,543.62. Of this )622,2&s.U oame from
customs receipts, t4i,97,S24.-U from inter
nal revenue, and II. 184, 467.70 from mtece-l
kvneous sources. During the same period
ihe expenditures aggregated f 122,996,730.70
That as to stay mat ounng we period
.when the Democrats hova been dalminK
that prosperity -was returning; and- the
tariff bill beginning1 to show 4a Improve
ment. . Oovemmental expenses have ex
ceeded the recetpttB by tn,H7,187.tt.
s s a -f.
. TWe opieruUona of the neur tariff tew
may be further exhibited by calculating
as follows:
Since the new ftsc&l year began there
have been ninety-five business d'ajs. In
that time the receipts have avenge! $1,
073,684, and the expenditures have aver
aged $1,296,790 daily. In other Words dur
ing every one oc the mneay-OVe working
days of tihte tww fiscal year and including
th'e Fourth of July and Labor Day, the
expenses of the government htave exceed
ed the reoelptB dally by an average ot
I222,10. If then this new tariff laiw work
ing under) oompartively fwvorable con
ditions is preuuetive or an .average
dotty deficit of over two -hundred thous
and dollars, Dhere Is a crying need for
more revenue. .. i
ess
Inasmuch as SearJtary CarHsle h&s
(maintained all along that the tariff blH
would be sufficiently productive of rev
enue, he 1s naturally loatn to admit that
mure levonue is required. -Toward the
end of the Cats congress Senator Allison
was able to pemsuade enaltor Gorman
that uhe best way to provide the revenue
required iwas to grant the secretary of
ittue treaaury authority to 4ssue ; tn:er-
gicraey nidtes to timet deficiencies in the
revenue. - These notes were to run tor
one, two or three years and to bear Inter
est at one or two per -cent' per annum.
The sonata iwoubdl URdooibtr ily have paw
ed such a .proposition, and it could have
been forced tihrough tho house If the ad
ministration bald' oonserttad to it. Mr.
Cknreland and Becretiry OanWIe positive
ly refiHted to admit that such lgIsatlon
wwa required, and the threat was made
thiat the president would veto the sundry
appropriation bill, to which It was pro-
po&ied to attach such a provision. This
threat had the deulrod etrect, and the
treasury -was left to Its own resources,
iwtth Itlho resuJt given above.
In view of the disastrous deflcit ttat has
continued to grow since that time, Sec
retary Carlisle now admits thu.t some rev
enue provision is required. He, In agree
ment WMli flile president's ideais, is unwil
ling to Advornto on Increase in the tariff
duties, -and f eels that theMteoded revenue
can befet be secured through an' increase
of Internal revenue taxation. The objec

to tocraising any tariff duties is thalt the
house la Republican, and it. would most

of a Uvccy scraimbie for congressional

more candidates thus early In the cam
paign being mentio.nej. Since the dlvUton
of the state Into congressional dWtricts,
Eastern Oregon has claimed the right to
namme heeecond reoioesentativo for that
district. WllHaim R. DUis, of Morrow
county, has been twice nominated and
etiedted by the Republicans and It now
considered to be an active candidate for
a third term. Congreea-nUin Ellis Willi toot
have p'.Udn paJHng, and the chances for
his renominatlon are not regarded as
nattering. In fact, the oplmion of well
nformed polWctans ts that his Kflf -appointed
snanagers, the Patterson .trio.
have effeotualiy ruined the chances ot
Mr. Ells for further congressional hon
ors, and besides this there are very n.tny
witmim 'tine Remmilcan ranks who are not
ratlsfled with the position assumed by
the representative of the tleoond o strict
on questions of national Importance.
roe Knowledge of HMs fuct has brought
out a number of aspirants who want to
succeed Mr. Bills: Baker county h&j no
less than three candidates. They are R.
H. Anderson. a well known lawyer: John
L. Rand, now prosecuting attorney for
tlhe Blgtvth JudUdai District; and M. L.
Olmstesd, a'Bo on atltorney. who durlnc
the campaign of 1894 was looked upon as
a supporter of the peculiar opinions of the
PopuTlat party. When James A. Bee re
aligned his position as judge ot the Sixth
Judidlal District, a few weeks ago, spec
ulfcltllan was rife as to what led him to
take the step. The excuse was given that
he retired from the bench In order to
give more attention to Ma private affairs,

Dickinson t Company having apparently
thrown up theur contract. Just with

mark that he could supply aCl of the
oodtar piles necessary for the Young's
Bay bridge, or any otfher bridge, lends
color to the rumor that those two gen
