HENRY G. DAVIS.

THE GOVERNMENT’S FINANCES. Indianapolis News: The Treasury deficit still continues. For the week ending last Friday the excess of expenditures over receipts was $1,134,228. For the corresponding week of last year there was a favorable balance of $878,001, while for the same week in 1902 there was a deficit of $2,362,589. There has been a steady decrease in receipts from customs, the figures for last week being $5,300,443, as against $5,789,096 for 1903, and $6,251,597 for 1902. There has been a gain both in receipts from .internal revenue and miscellaneous sources. The aggregate receipts are $lO,555,772 for last week, $10,798,001 for the eame week last year, and $10,652,411 for the same week in 1902. Thus it will be seen that the receipts have been fairly constant. Expenses have fallen off by sl,325,000 as compared with 1902, but they have increased by sl,770,000 over those of last year. Every item except the navy and interest shows an increase over last year. In those two items there was a saving of $930,000. The War Department cost more than twice as much last week as for the same period in 1903. Pensions increased by $700,000. A deficit of more than $1,000,000 in a week does not at first blush seem large, but it is at the rate of $52,000,000 a year. The deficit for July, the first month of the fiscal year, was $17,408,728. As the balance has been almost uniformly unfavorable so far this month, it is probable that the present deficit for the year up to the present time is in the neighborhood of $22,000,000. Once again we call attention to the fact, and we have many times spoken of it, that all this is occurring under the Dingley tariff. If times should grow worse the showing would be even less favorable, for we have Secretary Shaw’s word for it that the Dingley tariff will be a poor “moneygetter’’ in an unprosperous era. Another interesting feature of this Treasury report is the shrinkage which it shows in the amount of free gold held by the Treasury. It ie now $46,089,187, as against $101,825,503 in 1903, and $104,941,068 in 1902. Of course all these amounts are exclusive of the $150,000,000 gold reserve held against United States notes. It is clear that the Government is spending too much money, or else is not taking enough from the people. In his speech of acceptance the President said, in substance, that there never was a time in the history of the Government when receipts and disbursements so nearly balanced. But this is the case no longer. For in a menth and a half the Treasury has run behind something like $22,000,000. The deficit for 1896—the whole year—when the Wilson “free trade ’ tariff was in force, was only $25,Uu0.000, while that for 1897, still under tne same tariff, was but $18,000,000. This year is starting in Buch a way as to indicate that it would throw those modest achievements in the shade. Neither Montgomery Ward & Co., nor Bears, Roebuck & Co., can get yonr clothing order after looking over our stocks; be sure and come to see us. Louis

COMPLAINT OF RUSSIA

Pamphlet from the Muscovite Which Charges Us with the Greatest Ingratitude. BODY OF A SUICIDE FOUND Gen. Chaffee Inspect* a Military Site —Mystery on a Trolley LineFatal Wreck. Indianapolis, Aug. 19. The Indiana members of congress have received copies of a pamphlet published at St. Petersburg, Russia, and entitled “Services Rendered by Russia to the American People During the War of the Rebellion.” The pamphlet contains a succinct recital of the attitude of Russia toward the United States during the civil war, as contrasted with the attitude of Great Britain. It is recalled that secessionist privateers, armed with letters of marque issued by Jefferson Davis, used English ports aA a basis of operations which ruined the maritime commerce of the northern states. Polltclal Mob Hysteria. “These souvenirs,” says the pamphlet, “have not had time to fade away, but we are already subjected to. the painful spectacle of what human inconsistency can do. While generous blood is flowing far away in the defense of Port Arthur this same people that we remember having so recently loved is fraternizing with the Japanese and drifting into one of those stampedes which, in this age of emotionalism, one is almost tempted to call ‘political mob hysteria.” Army Post Site Inspected. Indianapolis, Aug. 19.—General Adna R. Chaffee, chief of staff of the United States army, accompanied by General C. F. Humphrey and Captain Grote Hutchinson, U. S. A., inspected the United States army post site at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Suicide's Body Is Found. Indianapolis, Aug. 19. —The body of Miss Julia Allenberg, 27 years old, who had been missing since Tuesday, has been found in Fall creek. Her hat, shoes and pocketbook, together with two notes saying that she had committed suicide because she was losing her mind, were found on the bank. For eight years, until six months ago, when she was rescued from an attempt to commit suicide by drowning

THE IRRESISTIBLE STREN6TH OF ADVERTISING. Just as Time is strong in its solidification of minutes; just as a newspaper is strong in continuity of publication, advertising is forcefnl through persistency. One week follows another without a break; one edition of The Democrat follows another without an omission, and one advertisement of your business should follow another without interruption. One week’s lapse not only breaks the thread of memory of interested readers, but surely misses the attention of some new observers, and both are omissions of gravity to every advertiser. Besides, Success, the ulterior aim of all advertising, has nothing in store for anything uncertain or irregular.

in Lake Michigan 7 after an estrangement from the son of a Chicago millionaire whom she was engaged to marry, she was employed as chief saleswoman in one of Chicago’s largest department stores. AFFAIR 18 VERY MYSTERIOUS Man Picked Up on a Trolley Line Who Disappears After Bis Injuries Are Dressed. Shelbyville, Ind., Aug. 19.—A man claiming to beWilllam Hardy, and giving his home ais Louisville, Ky., was picked up by an interurban motorman at night, between this city and Fairland, and he was brought to Shelbyville and taken to the Kennedy hospital, where his injuries were dressed. There is some mystery connnected with the affair. The stranger said that he met two men, giivng their names as Charles Edwards and George Dempsey, at the Union railway station, Indianapolis, at night, and they all boarded the “Knickerbocker,” which is due here at 7 p. m. They stood on the platform and drank beer, and then he sat on* the steps. After this he knew nothing until he was picked up off the track by a farmer and carried to the interurban station, where the motorman found him sitting on the track. He says his gold watch and two $5 bills are missing. After bis wounds were dressed he disappeared. Felloe Coptala Killed. Tipton, Ind., Aug. 19. —Captain Robert Irwin, of the police force* and William Jones used a railroad “speeder" in chasing thieves who had escaped to the country, and while they

were returning they were overtaken by a train on the Lake Brie and Western railway. Jones sprang off and dragged the “speeder” aside, but Captain Irwin was caught and killed. He was 35 years old, with a large family. Weather and Crop Bulletin. Indianapolis, Aug. 19. The crop bulletin for the past week says that abnormally low temperatures, particularly at night, prevailed during/ the first part of the week in this state. On and after Saturday it was higher than the average at this season. The com crop as a whole needs rain very badly. Spring sown clover is dying, and in most cases seed clover is very unpromising. Pastures ere brown. Collision Will Bo Death to Two. Lawrenceburg, Ind., Aug. 19. As the result of a collision between construction and water trains on the Big Four railway, near the Ohlo-Indiana line, two miles north of this city, Patrick Mitchell, engineer on the water train, was instantly killed, and John Stanley, fireman on the water train, was fatally Injured. Four other members of the crew were seriously injured. Mind Wracked by s Horror. LaPorte, Ind., Aug. 19. —Clara W. Redhouse, aged 14, has been adjudged insane. Her mind is hopelessly wrecked. Her trouble developed after the Iroquois theater fire, the accounts of which, physicians declare, dethroned her reason.

JUDGE PARKER’S CAMPAIGN

Looks I.lke He Will Have an Active Hand In It Himself—Proposed Stamping Tonr. Esopus, N. Y., Aug. 19.—0 n account of the meeting of the American Bar association at St Louis on Sept. 26, Judge Parker will probably go to the exposition at that time and not return to attend the New York day ceremonies, which will be held on Oct. 4. It is not the plan now for Judge Parker to make any speeches on his way to St. Louis. It is likely that the judge will make a detour on his return in order to address political meetings in Indianapolis, Chicago and one or two other points. The suggestion has been made that after that Judge Parker go on an extended stumping tour to continue until the day before election, but no decision has been reached in regard to this. The proposition has the approval of most of his political friends, including nearly every member of the national committee.

TURK CLIMBS DOWN

"Davy Crockdtf’ Doesn’t Have to Shoot to Bag That Oriental Bad Bird. OUR DEMANDS ARE [.SATISFIED Hereafter We Have the Same Rights as the Moat Favored Nation, Perhaps. Constantinople, Aug. 10. —After prolonged pour parlers and considerable haggling on the part of the Turks a satisfactory solution of the United Statesan school question has been arrived at This matter, which Is the most important of the United States demands, was settled by extending to United Statesan schools the same treatment as that accorded to schools ’under the protection of other powers. A setlement of other matters affecting United States interests In Turkey, of secondary importance, has also been effected, and Minister Lelshman has telegraphed to Rear Admiral Jewell, In command of the United States squadron sent to Smyrna, instructing him to aalute the batteries on land and dfr part. Delay Caused by Functionaries. The sitting of the council of ministers at which the settlement was agreed upon was a long one, and it was not until near its close that an agreement was reached. The delay In the settlement is believed to have been caused by the interventtlon of the palace functionaries, whose policy, in or/ler’to retain the sultan’s favor, consists of combating the rights and privileges of foreign subjects. Cause of the Controversy. Washington, Aug. 15. A prominent official of the department of state makes a statement of the questions with Turkey that have taken so long to adjust, in which it is said that for many years the treatment of educational establishments in the Ottoman empire founded and conducted by United States citizens, has been very unsatisfactory. While similar schools under the direction of other foreigners have been recognized as existing, and have been accorded the regular license, or imperial firman, upon application therefor, applications on behalf of the schools under United Statesan control have passed unnoticed. One of Our Claims. This discrimination was especially noticeable with regard to the Protestant medical college at Beirut in the matter of examinations and the right of graduates to exercise their profession. The United States government claimed for the United Statesan school the same privileges accorded the French medical school at Beirut. President Takes a Hand. The earnest efforts of the United States minister at Constantinople to secure for our schools and teachers simple equality of treatment having met with evasive and dilatory treatment by the Sublime Porte, and no progress having been made toward a better understanding thepresident took the matter in hand, and it has taken him since Feb. 2. 1903, to bring the matter to a head, and it was not so brought until our fleet in the Mediterranean sea was ordered to Smyrna, the nearest Turkish port on the Mediterranean to Constantinople.

NEGROES BURNED TO DEATH BY MOB

Frenzied Georgians Wreak'Summary Judgment on Hodges Family Murderers. Savannah, Ga., Aug. 18.—Despite the prayerful exhortation of the Rev. H. A. Hodges, whose brother, his brother’s wife and children were murdered and burned by the fiendish atrocities committed by Will Oato and Paul Reed, two negroes convicted of the crime at Statesboro, this state, a wild mob of frenzied men charged the state militia guarding the courthouse during the afternoon, overpowered the soldiers and dragged the terror-stricken Reed and Cato from the officers. Shouting with glee at their task, the mob beat, kicked, and dragged the ter-ror-stricken negroes to a point two miles from Statesboro, on the road toward the Hodges farm, where the two negroes were burned at the stake by the mob. No such lynching bee has occurred before In Georgia. With communications during the early evening severed between Statesboro and surrounding points, suspense in Savannah and Atlanta was at fever pitch lest the mobs, but more hungry for blood at the death of the two negroes, would assail the jail to get at the thirteen other negroes, men and women, now confined there awaiting trial as accomplices in the Hodges crime. Later.—A telephone message to the Savannah Press from Statesboro says Handy Bell, the negro implicated as ringleader in the murder of the Hodges family, by confession of the negroes burned, was burned at the stake a few miles from Statesboro late at night

"Well, go on,” said he, with some Impatience. , »/| "On where?” we asked. / "On with the story,” he replied. "Why, man,” we expostulated, "that la the story. Don’t you Bee? Just aa he shouted upstairs”— "Oh, rats!” said the man. "Next morning, when the man was going to work, his wife said, ‘Tom, don’t forget to bring home a seidlitz powder.’ ‘What for?’ asked Thomas. ‘Why, for our cuckoo,’ said his wife. ‘I noticed that he had the hiccoughs last night when he struck 12.’ ”
