State Treasurer Lacy's figures prepared for the Council of Slate, .which that council mutt consider and past tipon, aw decidedly startling. - These figures which have already baen published In these columns In de till, brleflj staled show, that the Bute's appropriations (or 1903 show a net in crease over 1000 of $186,000, balance'un pId for 1901, 1100,000, while the in creases in Pensions, Public Schools, Ju diciary and Sundries amount to $245, 000, a grand total of liabilities of 4581. 0C0. Bow will these State .liabilities be met. Officials give $70,000 as the amount of the revenue Increase over that of 1000. ' It looks very evident that the last leg-. Islature has blundered, at both, ends, first, In estimating that the revenue acts 'It passed would yield vast returns, and with this Idea It went into lavish appro priations. ' In fact appropriations were made upon a scale Of immense tax revenues, based upon property values, which have not materialized, apparently not in the assessments, certainly not In the collect . ing. It Is not that appropriations voted would hot have been of great service for the purposes they were made, but to make an appropriation error of over one-half .million dollars, is very far from good legislation. It Is now estimated that the 'State. Treasurer will try and meet the accounts as they come In, but that the hope is In the next legislature, to seek a remedy to meet the unpaid balances. This is not a pleasant outlook for the taxpayers of the State, especially con sidering the disastrous season of 1001, when every section of the Btate was sub jected to severe crop losses. The Bute taxes to be met In this first month of 1903, are going to strain very many taxpayers, and In some - sections these taxes are olnf to be uncollect able, owing to the failure of crops; . . It If not pleasant to contemplate this $531,000, which confront the taxpayers as a liability to meet. It la a 'startling sum. and one which cannot but cause uneasiness throughout the State.

Deafness la caused by an inflamed con dition of the, mucous lining of the Bus-' tachlan Tube.
