Reform In Ptovsmvnentat Expenditures
Twenty'eight years have paitii stars
the Democratic party ot the state of Now
York In convention assembled reCota
mwlii to (he national Democracy the
nomination of Samuel J. TUden aa Its
candidate for the presidency snd dc lared
It to be "their settled contictloa that a

frugal expenate and sOmlntotratire purity
of the founders of the republic a the first

the commanding Issue now before the 1
people of the Union." This strong ex
press! on was called forth by the national
expenditures tor the year ll«, which
amounted to SK4.«fcM*-a situation which,
ta the opinion of a majority of our pao
pta. Justified aa Imperative demand tor.
reform in the ot pa bile ;
affaire. Aa the expenditures of tbe last 1
Serai year amounted to tbe enormous
total of vtt.wo.oou. It a evident that a
thorough Invsatigatlon of the public aarv
lee and the bnntedlate abandonment of
usefeee and sxtravagant expendiiurra are
more mi i aanry now than they were then. '
This sstoundlng Increase la out of all
proportion to the Increase of our pofxda- j
tton and finde no excuse from .whatever ]
aspect we View the situation The na
tional Democratic platform dec larva that '
"large reductions can saalty be made la
the aUhual expenditures ot tbe govern- '
meat without tmpeirlnt the efficiency of )
any branch of the public service. ** Can I
there be any doubt of tbe accuracy of
this statement? Between tbe expend!- j
tares of the year int. amounting to S3C.-
SNMM. ind those of the test fiscal >e»r— l
the seventh after drover Cleveland ceae-1
ed to be president— aggregating IMi.tioo.tsa. T
there It s difference so great aa to excite !
alarm In the breasts of all thoughtful 1
men Kven excluding tbe sum of |M.ttt
tOt paid for the Panama canal (tahts and
to the state of Panama, the expendlturee
ef the last fiscal year exceeded the sum
at IUX.IOO.OOt. being more than double the
expenditures of the government (Or all
purposes during tbe first year of Mr.
Cleveland'! edminlstratlon.
The expenses of the flret four years suc
ceeding the last Democratic administra
tion amounted to tbe enormous average
of g11. 000. 000 per year. Thta large ex
penditure waa due to a considerable ex
tant to the cost of the Spanish-American
war, which occurred during that period. I
But the termination of that war brought
ae relief to the treasury, for tbe average
annual expenaaa of the government dur
ing the three aubseguent years ending
Juns M, 1104. were sbout ttdS.otO.om which
la the largeet sum hitherto reached dur
ing a like period since tbe does of the
dvil war.
Tble draft upon the revenues of the
country hat had the effect which might
have been anticipated, and now we bare
presented the reverse of the situation,
which led to the famous observation. "It
la a condition and not a theory whk-h
confronts us." tor. although the present
Incumbent found at the cloae of the first
gees! yesr during which hs essumed con
trol of the admin Ist rut lon a surplus of re
sslpts over expendlturee of more than
ta.tIOOOO, there was sn excess of ex
penditures over receipts at the close of
tbe last fiscal year of 142.0t0.eta. and the
official monthly reporta made by the
treasury department show that the ex
pendlturee are contlnuoualy and rapidly j
Increasing, while tbe receipts are dlmln
lahlng.
In this connection tt la Interesting to
Bote tiy recent edmlnlstrative orders for
bidding government ofilcsre from making
public any statement of estimates on
which future appropriations are to be
baaed.
If a man Of ordinary Intelligence and
prudence should find In the operating ex
penses of hit business such s tremendous
percentage of increitae. would he not
promptly set on foot sn Inquiry for the
cause of tbe waste and take immediate
meaauree to atop It, eepectally when
trusted employees have been found dls
honsst snd convlctsd and a widespread
Imprsatlon exists that a thorough Investi
gation may discover other cases of mal
feasance? When ths chief executive re
ported to congress that "through frauds,
forgeries and perjuries and by shameless
briberies tbe laws relating to tbe proper
conduct of the public service In general
and to the due administration of the post
office deportment hare been notoriously
violated •••" there was s general popu
lar demand for a rigid, sweeping Invsati
gatlon by congress In addition to thai un
dertsksn by the executive himself Such
aa Investigation ths Republlcen majority
la congress would not permit, although
the minority insisted that ths Inlsrests of
good govsrnment dsmaiided tt And tbe
minority wss right. The liberality, pa
triotism and notional pride of the i>sopls
should not be made an excuae for srsste
of ths public funds. Olllclsl sxtravsgsnos
la official crime.
There is not a sentence In ths Repub
lican platform recommending a reduction
1s ths expenditures of the government,
not s line suggesting that the Increase In
ths cost of the wsr ilspartment from Ot.-
NIM la UM to tll&.oao.ooo In I»u4 should tie
Inquired Into, and not a iwragroph celling
for a thorough Investigation of those
deportments of the government In whlcb
dishonesty haa been recently disclosed
The people, however, ran by thrlr votes.
If they desire It. order such sn investlgs
tloa snd Insugurute a policy of conomy
aad retrenchment. It la wife to say that
thin will oot be accomplished by Indors
ing at the polls the Kepubllcsn m.ijorlty
of the house of representatives which re
fused ths investigation snd msde the ap
proptlotions, nor by continuing in power
the administration which mails the dis
bursements.
Reform In expenditures must lie had In
both the civil, military snd navel estab
lishments In order thnt the nstlonal ex
pendlturee may lie brought to a liasts of
peace and the government msintained
without recourse to the tuxeo of war.
Conclusion.
I have put aside a congenial work, to
which I bad expected to devote my life,
la ordsr to sssume as best I oan the re
sponsibility your convention put upon me
I solicit tbo cordial co-operation and
gonsrous assistance of every man who
balls est that a change of meaaures and
of men at Ibts lime would be wise, and
urge harmony of endeavor ss well as
vigorous action on tbe pert of all ao
mtnllstl
The Issues are Joined, and the people
muat render tbe verdict.
Shall economy of administration tie de
manded or I hall extravagance be encour
aged?
ghall the wrongdoer be brought to bay
by the people, or mast Justice wait upon
political oligarchy?
ghall our government at snd for equal
opportunity or for special privilege?
ghall it remain a government of law or
become one of Individual caprice?
ghall we cling to the rule of the people,
er eball we embrace beneficent despotism?
Wtth calmness and confidence we await
ths people's verdict.
If cell**d to the office of president I
Shall consider myself the chief magistrate
of all the people snd not of any faction,
aad shall ever he mindful of the fact that
on many questions of nstlonal policy
tbsro are honest differences of opinion t
believe In the patriotism, good sense snd
absolute sincerity of all the people. I
shsll strive to remember that he may

if It be ths wish of the people thst I

, A buf-e 1-able way, which when etna
pleted will lie tire longest In the world.
r Is to l»e constructed on the Argentine
; side of tlie Andes mountains by tbe
1 engineering firm of Adolf Itlelrhrrt A
Co. of liHpttlr.
This cable wsy is to extend from the
Cbllectto station of the Argentine
Northern railroad for a total distance
of tbirt.v-two nilles. Ita termination at
this end will lie II.KCt feet above the
sea level, snd the engine station that
will Ire erected at this |ioint of tha ca
ble way will be the highest In tte
world.
No less than eighty-seven miles of
rope will he required for tbe cable way.
1 The pruect will necessitate many re
markable engineering difficulties, for
at otto or two points the cahlewsy will
, hare to apsn gorge* 2.W10 feet wide by
660 feet deep.
Xhe cable way Is to have a csrryiag
I cspsdty of forty-four tons of ore per
hour, and cars, each containing 1.100
| pounds of ore, are to be dispatched at
Intervals of forty-fire secnoda Hcits

The work Is no joke, sccordlng to Ev

by proclaiming death to tte pole pil

But Ills royal mandate cannot pre

from awinging la tte wires or—what la
much more delightful—tte elephant
from scratching himself against tte

The Cork Isteatry.
Seventy-five yeara sgo Italy supplied
nesrly sll the cork used In Engbtnd
but tte Italisn supply has fallen off
greatly of late yeara In annte prov
inces the trees hsre been cut down
for charcoal and In others they have
I been felled on account of their high
r potash valuea. fork trees easily reach
the age of 200 yeara. They yield cot*
1 In their thirtieth year and continue
' to do ao every seven yeara. A new
! process has been discovered by which
Isrge pieces of cork can be made oot
' of small ones, and this has given a
grest Impetus to the cork Industry.
The price of cork Is going np stesdily.
' both on account of tbe Increaaing de
-1 mand and tbe decreasing supply of tte
raw material.
