N. L Littlefield, Sec’y. The supreme and appellate courts of Indiana adjourned last Friday for their annual vacation. They will re-convene Oct. 5. The trust magnates are trying to save a little money this campaign, and think it cheaper to buy up the conventions than to purchase the election. Thomas E. Watsen of Georgia, for President, and Thomas H. Tibbler of Nebraska, for VicePresident, was the ticket nominated by the Populist national convention at Springfield, 111., Tuesday. The platform declares for government ownership of public utilities and reaffirms the principles that have been set forth in the past three national fights. The little girl who confidently spelled c-a-t and called it “dog'’ made no greater mistake in orthography than the Republicans who spell b-a-n-k-r-u-p-t-c-y, and pronounce it “prosperity.” Last Friday began the new fiscal year and Secretary Shaw presented his report showing that the receipts for the year have been $541,186,745, and the expenditures $582,539, 071, showing a deficit for the year of $41,352,325. For the preceding fiscal year there was a surplus of $52,710,935, showing an adverse balance compared with the year ending Thursday of pretty neatly $100,000,000! This shows that the administration has lost money every month of the past year, and if a loss of $100,000,000 is prosperity, it would be curious to know what adversity is. Mr, Shaw's showing certainly demonstrates that Mr. Roosevelt’s successor in the White House will inherit the same sort of conditions that Mr. Cleveland was called upon to inherit in March, 1893. Our national poverty then, as indicated by the deficit, was due to the Harrison Administrtion, as our national poverty now shown by the deficit is due to the McKinleyRoosevelt administrations.
