H Colonel Merwin of the Beave :
H City Tribune enjoys a "cod" witl
H , the rest of creation. He recentl ]
H removed his adult subscription lis
H and the appurtenances thereuntc
H belonging into a new and-exclusive
H building. And in order to com-
H memorate the event he published
H a cut of his new location. By t
H "mistake" the Colonel published s
H handsome cut of our ownest Com-
H mercial hotel , bus , dray , "Old
H Glory" and all.
H If the sole object of the recount
H is to obtain an accurate canvass of
H the votes cast on the constitution-
H al amendments at the election last
H fall , what objection can there be
I l to allowing the Republicans in
H house and senate to select the Re-
I publican representatives on the
H recount committee ? A non-parti-
H san recount committee means a
H committee composed of men who
H will look out for the interest of all
H political parties. The only way
H to assure the entire citizenship of
H the state that no jugglery in the
H recount is to be tolerated is to give
I all parties an opportunity to verify -
fy the count as it progresses. Bee.
B In denying Republicans repre-
B sentation on the legislative comB -
B mittee conducting the recount of
the ballots cast for the supreme
* judges amendment the Populists
have thrown themselves open to
severe criticism. It is manifestly
unfair and savors of dishonesty.
"We are not making broad , general
charges of corruption and dishon
esty in this recount matter , but it
is manifest to all fair-minded people
ple that the Populists had nothing
to fear froni Republicans on the
recount committee as long as the
recanvass was conducted honestly.
- And the natural inference is that
the Populists fear the wide public
ity and fairness that should always
I characterize such proceedures.
The total increase of the bond
indebtedness during Clevelan
administration is § 262,315,400 ,
which there is an annual inter
charge of § 11,532,016 , says an <
change. The total interest up
§ 100,000,000 of 5 per cent bor
issued , during the ten years fr <
their date that must elapse bef <
they are redeemable , is § 50,00
000. Interest-on § 62,315,400
4 per cent bonds which are i
payable for thirty years will
§ 75,978,480 , making the total i
terest that must be paid on the ei
lier issues of Jaonds § 123,978,48
From this amount there must
subtracted § 19,972,640 , premiui
received on the sale of bonds , lee
iug a balance of § 106,005,84
The final bond issues on a thir
year interest basis , will run t
amount of principal and intere
which the people must eventual
pay , to nearly § 500,000,000 ,
which prodigious figure the cost

But worse than this loss to tl

lost to the people directly in tl
way of shrinkage in values , loss
