Pronlgacy of the Administration.


From, Senator TrumJuUs Chicago Speech.
THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.
But l find l am spending so much
time upon this slavery question, that 1
am becoming somewhat boarse, and as L
wish to say something in regard to the
expenditures Of the government, and
show that the party in power is as false
to its'o,hcr professions as it is to those
it has at different times set up on tho
slavery question, I will pass for a few
moments to that subject. The expen-
ses Of the government, as you have pro
badly often heard, have increased euor-
mously within few years. The amount
Of money at the disposal of tho govern
mcut for this year amounts to more than
one hundred millions Of dollars This /
know has sometimes heen disputed, but
l have here the official statement made
by the clerk Of the House Of Reprcsen-
tativcs, showing that more than eighty
one millions were specifically appropri-
ated at the last session of Congress, and
there arc indefinite appropriations to
pay claims, the precise amount Of which
is not yet known, which amount at tho
lowest estimate to three millions and a
half making over eighty-four millions,
and there is an UneXpended balance Of
appropriations made last year, amount
ing to more than sixteen millions
These sums altogether make more than
a hundred millions Of dollars at the dis
posol of the government for the present
fiscal year. know it is said that it is
unfair to charge all this to this year;
that a surplus will remain at the end of
this year to be carried to the next list;
but l think it is much more likely that
the administration will come in with %
deficiency bill, and ask for some ten
millions more, as they did at the last
Congress, than that any surplus will re-
main. The expenses of the government
during the administration of General
Pierce were S232, ,82O,G32 This is more
than all the expenses of the government
from 1880, when it was organized for
thirty years together, including the war
with Great Britain in 1912.
General Pierce expended more money
during four years Of peace than our gov
ernment expended for the first thirty
years after its organization. In 1928 the
expenditures Of the government for all
purposes, exclusive of the public debt,
were S0784154 So. In 1857 the ex-
penses Of the government, exclusive Of
the public debt, were SOS, ,032, $50 76.
The pro rata according to the population
in 1923, was "a cents on each individual.
The pro rata in 1857 was 50 28 per man
-04 cents to 50 %, according to popu-
latiou. Now, these facts ought to at.
tract the attention of the country; butt
perhaps If / were to state in detail some
of the wastefulness Of this government,
some of tho means by which these ex-
penses have been increased, 30 would
strike SOME minds more forcibly IWin

Railroad Management in German.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun gives an interesting account Of the
manner in which railroads are managed
in Germany:
"Every railroad company is bound
by law to have a double-track on their
line, and no person is allowed to walk
on a railroad track at any time, by day
or night, under penalty of the law. A
barrier, consisting of two strong planks,
is placed along the sides of the tracks,
to keep off animals. Every fifteen or
twenty miles along the track, there is a
station for a guard or watchman, who
lives in a little hut beside the road, and
whose business it is to be at his post
with a red flag in his hand, at the APP
prOaCh of every train; and before the
train is due to patrol his beat to see
that all is safe, and to remove obsta-
olcs, which are sometimes placed upon
the track by miscreants. Tn the case
Of danger, the guard hoists on a tel
egraph, so called, which stands near
each guard-house, q rod-painted c1scet
which can be seen by the engineer a
great distance; but if everything is
right, the two wooden arms Of the tee-
graph are stretched in the air Dur
ing the night, there is, instead Of the
coscei a lantern with deep red light
placed in the air as warning of dan
ger and a common one if all is i'm a
safe condition. At every crossing there
is a gate, which is locked up as soon as
a train is due, and any one, either on
horseback or in a carriage, who desires to
cross, must wait until the train has pass
ed d"
Some such regulations would not come
amiss in this country.

pers.
II is a great mistake in female educa-
tion to keep a young lady's time and at
tention devoted to only the fashionable
literature of the day. If you would
qualify her for conversation, you must
give her something to talk about-give
her education with the actual world and
its transpiring events. Urge her to read
newspapers, aud become familiar with
the present character and improvement
Of our race History is of some i'm
portance, but the past world is dead,
and we have nothing to do with It.
Our thoughts aud our concerns should
be for the present world, TO know what
it is, aud improve the condition of it,
Let her have an intelligent opinion, and
be able to sustain an intelligent conver-
sation concerning Che mental moral po-
iitical aud religious improvement OF our
time. Let the gilded ANIMALS and poems
on our centre tables be kept part Of the
time covered with weekly and daily jour
mails. Let the whole family-men, wo-
men and children-read the newspapers.
