Associate Judge, JACK McCRAY. Gonkrai, Foraker cornea very Dear striking the keynote of the cam paign fur 1816 in a single sentence, when he says: "The great, para mount issue upon which the battles of both this year and next year will be fought, will be Cleveland's Adminis tration, Hawaii, the 'bill of perfidy and dishonor,' sugar crookedness, sell ing out the Treasury to English gold bugs, the destruction of reciprocity and a score of like counts that go to make up the record of incompetency and failure on the part of the ptesent Administration." During the last three years of the administration of President Harrison the revenues of the Government ex ceeded the expenditures by more than ninety-eight millions of dollars. Duriog the firet three years of Presi dent Cleveland's administration the revenues failed by more than $120, 000,000 to meet the expenditures of the Government. While the Nation al debt was decreased during the last three years of PresiJent Harrison's administration by 8244,000,000, it was increased during the first three years of President Cleveland's ad ministration by $106,000,000. Punx'y Spirit. Doubtless the friends of the Cleve land regime will claim this as an im provement over his first administra tion in that it did not remain at a complete standstill. The action of Indian Commis sioner Browning in putting a stop to the proposed prize fight in the In dian Territory is highly commenda ble. Tempted by an offer of $5,000 the Chickasaw Nation has, accordiog to report, agreed to allow Corbett and Fiizsimmons to fight in the Chicka saw territory. Commissioner Brown ing, who has ample authority in the matter, has instructed his agents to inform the Indians that nothing of the kind will be permitted in the In diau territory, and that United State troops will be used, if necessary, to prevent the fight. The commissioner evidently has the authority of the President for making that statement. The prize fighters bave sense enough not to get themselves in the United States Courts, from which there is no escape except outside of the territory of this country. This brutal "mill" is not likely to take place in tbi countrv. Abk aoy acquaintance you meet how the sturs are grouped at present on the United Slates flag and in nine cases out of ten, says the St. Louis Sayings, tbe question cannot be an swered. About the middle of Sep tember the War Department issued an order defining the official flag to be used for the future in tbe regular army, and every patriotic manufac turer of flags who is up to date on his productions will follow suit. The new flag has six rows of stars. In tbe first, fourth and sixth rows there aro eight stars and in iu tbe other three seven. The forty-five stars present each of the several states, in cludiog Utah, which will be admitted into the Union, in accordance with the United Slates revised statues, on July 4 next. The dimensions of tbe flag and tbe rule of proportion which must be followed in the manufacture of flags of all sizes are as follows Length (not iucludiug silk fringe . 2 inches wide around the edges), 5 feet 6 inches; width, 4 feet 4 inches width of stripe, 4 inches; length of blue field, 2 feet six inches : width o blue field, 3 feet 4 inches. That Alleged Surplus. That alleged 83,175,000 Treasury surplus fur September disappeared aud about 8650,000 more in the firs hve days of October. In other words, the first five days this month without any special payments for iu teres!, pensions, and so on, showed a deficiency of $3,825,000. This deui nustrates again the shameful juggling of treasury figures to make out an al leged surplus. If the 85,000,000 appropriated for the sugar bounties had been paid, as it will have to be in time, and if the work on public buildings and other improvements had not been stopped almost altogether aud the laws of C jugress nullified, the deficiency uu- der the new miff would be at least 875,000,000 by this time. Right here in Philadelphia practically nothing has been done toward erecting a new Mint building, which was authorized by Congress before Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated. Even the drawings for the building have not been made, and the money appropriated for that purpose is slill in the Treasury. The post office building in Washington authorized five years ago has not yet got a roof on it. The Government is paying nearly $200,000 a year in rentals for its local pod office and other buildings in Washington, a considerable part ef which sum can be saved when (he new post office building is finished. The long, in excusable delay is a costly one. But it helps make a better showing tem porarily for the Treasury, and thus the farce of alleged economy is kept up. The new Miut would save niooey to the Government. Tbe oew public buildiug in New York has al so been delayed at a similar cost. lots is wnat is going on all over the country. In some cases, as offi cial reports to the War Department show, public Works have suffered costlr deterioration because work on hem has practically stopped. This may help to make a better campaign showing tor the new tariff, but it is a false and costly showing. It is bet ter, perhaps, than selling bonds and paying excessive interest and pre miums, but to that method the Ad ministration has also resorted. The people of this couutry are not fooled by this penny wise and pound foolish policy. They know that pub lic works cannot be stopped aud ap propriations held up without injury to the country. There must be rev enue enough not only to pay tbe bare necessities of the Government, but to meet expenditures for improvements. Tbe existing tariff does not even meet ordinary expenditures. The country must bave revenue enough to pay all expenses, and, morever, to retire Mr. Cleveland's bonds and stop the large annual interest charce which the Democratic party has created. That revenue can only be raised by chang ing tbe present tariff. rhUa. Press. Serlons Drought. For two months a severely felt drought has reigned west of the Al legheny mouutains. Tbe drought ex tends over Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, almost the entire State of Ohio and in parts of Indiana. In all, except the last named State, there has been a remarkable defi ciency in rainfall, according to the figure of tbe Pittsburg weather sta tion. Local Forecaster O. D. Stew art says that up to date the deficien cy in rainfall since the beginning of the year has been 9.03 inches. Since April 20, there has been p,o coal stage in tne luououganeia river. jot a bushel has passed south since that month and 8,000 mioers in the river pits have been idle almost the entire period. AH tbe boats and barges are loaded and 20,000,000 bushels of coal have been waiting three months on high water on which to go south. At many points railroads are being forced to haul water for their engines. The Ohio river is so low at East Liverpool that the influent pipes are bare and the supply is scarcely suffi cient to supply domestic requirements in tbe town, some of whose manufac turing establishments are idle this week. Nine-tenths of the small towns bave been strictly limited of the consumption of water by police regulations. A large number of towns bave cut off shops and mills, forcing them to result to artesian wells. Iu Lawrence, Mercer and ad joining couuties farmers are selling their stock because of the difficulty iu keeping the cattle watered. In all of the oil fields surrounding Pitts burg, the work of drilling new wells has been greatly interfered with fur a month past on account of the scarcity of water. So great has this become in some sections as to cause a practi cally complete suspension of opera tion.
