FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT.
What the American People Pay for
Their Whistle.
From The Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The NelV York Herald calls attention
to the financial management of the
affairs of the United States and that of
Great Britain. The British Govern
ment, for the year 1S74-5, estimates its
expenditures at f75,000,000, or $685.
100000. The English Government,
however, includes..in this a surplus reve-
nue. to apply on the public debt. The
actual expenditure will be about f73,-
100000. Taking, however, the whole
of the estimate, and comparing it with
that of the Secretary of the Treasury,
We find that the American Secretary
asked for S319, 000, 900 to meet expendi-
lures, or only S+4, 200, 900 less than that
of Great Britain. There has been some
idle talk in Congress about reducing ex-
penditures, but the appropriations inclu-
ding future deficiency bills will probably
equal the Secretary's estimate. The
British charge for interest on the pub
lie debt is Sl29,000,000; that of the
United States, 1913, 100000 Deducting
these sums from the annual eKpendi-
ture for 1915, we have the United
States expanding for ordinary affairs
1921 ,000, 900, and Great Britain 1884,
100000. Leaving out the interest on
the National debt, Cheat Britain ex-
ponds but $4,000, 000a year more than
the United States. She has an army
about four times as great as that of the
United States, and navy which is the
finest in the world, while we have but
skeleton establishment. She maintains
governments In the various quarters of
the globe; supports an immense and
costly royal establishment, and has a
civil pension list which is unknown to
our system. The taxation of England
is simple. She produces one-third of
her revenue from a tariff on few ar
ticles, another third from the tax on
domestic spirits, and the balance from
stamps and other direct taxes. We
have an immense and very costly reve-
nue. system, and extraordinary rates of
taxation, and produce less revenue.
The marked difference between the two
systems is that taxation in Great
Britain is to produce revenue, while
taxation in the United States is to pre-
vent revenue and restrict production.
But the reader Will readily understand
that there mus be some radical defect
or mismanagement somewhere when
the ordinary annual expenditures of the
Government of the United States, with
out an army or navy, equals that of the
Government of Great Britain,

We publish this morning the views
of Gen. B. f. Cheatham in regard to
the proposed compromise between his
friends and those who supported An
drew johnson. 1t will be seen that
Gen. Cheatham speaks out his honest
sentiments without guile or deceit. He
knows nothing about political diploma
cy, fIaesse and trickery, and hence he
utters everything he thinks with rug
ged sincerity which awes into shame
the dissemblers who seek to carry their
purposes by hiding their views. Gen.
Cheatham shows how well he un-
derstands public sentiment when
he .intimates that he could not
if he would, and would not if
he could, "enter into any COM
bination to barter away the right of
the people of Tennessee to select their
Governor and United States Senator
for themselves" He scorns any 'sar-
rangement" which smacks of bargain
and intrigue" With a magnanimity
worthy Of all praise Gen. Cheatham
urges Cancellation, and forgetfulness Of
the asperities engendered in his cam
vass for Congress, and which resulted
In his defeat. The people of Tennessee
have long admired the courage and the
soldierly qualities of Gen. Cheatham,
but now they are compelled to adj
mre In a more eminent degree high
er moral courage, which proudly bears
him above the groveling passions of
malignity and revenge. If the Demo-
cratic and Conservatives of Tennessee
viii cultivate the spirit of Cancellation
and harmony expressed by Gen. Cheath-
am, they win sweep the State in the
election for members of the Legislature,
Congress and Governor.

THE wOMEN's KINGDOM.

In the Women's Kingdom, which
some say is coming, l, projecting my
soul into the future, prophesy that a
great number of "disenthralled"
women will become farmers, and, more
over, the very best of farmers. Even
as they are now, with such education
as they are allowed to scrape together,
a vast number of women have every
qualification which goes to make a
good farmer. Thrift, diligence and
attention to details, are the three quail
ihcations, whichfew even now viii denyto
the majority of women, and these three
qualifications are half the battle. Let
them be instructed In the science of
the matter, and that is not such very
difficult thing, and the instinct of order
and management, so much higher IN
ordinary women than in ordinary men,
will do the rest.
Henry Kingsley's novel, "Stretton,
contains some good things, of which
the above is specimen. In his ma
tive England, where a woman has been
at the head Of the Government over
thirty years, queen of the richest en-
pire in the world and is not above man
aging her cows and dairy spring house,
her pigs and poultry, in model way,
farming Is a royal and aristoc:atic &C.
equations Educated people see the
comforts, independence and position
derived from the ownership Of land and
wise husbandry. As suggested above,
women as well as men should be in
structed in TIE science of the mat
ter" A spirited novel written
to teach amiable girls of sixteen the
mysteries Of fruit and Horticulture, gar
dening and farming, would be indeed a
unique bit of literature; but who will
say that 1t must fail to interest the
reader? Flowers are the poetry of
Christian civilization; and, in the order
of nature, after blossoms comes the
fruit. Many cherish a prejudice against
female education for any common in
dustrial OF professional purpose. OF
course such is not the ideal position of
woman; neither is poverty her ideal
condition. Yet how many we find in it.
Must widow, left with half dozen
children TO rear and support,
understand no trade in city or
village and know nothing of the
true principles of agriculture III the
country. How can such folly add cru
city benefit the ''lords of creation ?"
Concede that knowledge is better than
ignorance for society as whole, and

THE NINTH CONGRESSIONAL.
DISTRICT.

We see from the Brownsville States
a meeting of the Democratic Executive
Committee for the 9th Congressional
District has been called to meet at
Humboldt, the first Tuesday in May.
We fail to see the propriety of the
Committee meeting at a point outside
of their district, There is no Execu-
tive Committee for the 9th District, as
1t now stands. In the canvass Of 1872
the 9th District was composed of the
counties of Shelby, Fayette and Harde-
man. Since that time the Districts
have been materially changed, but we
have not heard of the reorganization of
the Executive Committees. However,
we presume those who made the call
understand what they are doing, and
in their deliberations we trust they Will
be guided by moderation, hberality
and iudgment.-JGchSoR Courier.
We presume the Executive Commit
tee for the present ninth district,
which has been called together, IS COM
posed of the committeeman from the
several counties now constituting that
district. and in meeting at Humboldt
they will not be out of their territory.
1t may be that the State Executive
Committee, which We understand Will
meet soon, viii find it necessary, owing
to the change in Congressional dis
tricts, to appoint new Congressional
Committees.

that both sexes should labor alike to
meet their common wants; then it fol-
lows logically that instruction should
be, not equally bad and defective In
both, out equally good and thorough IN
all respects. The women's kingdom
lies in perfect equality of rights and
duties, consistent with sex. Our mother
earth viii be as kind and prolific to
female tillage and husbandry as
the labor and skill of bearded
man. Fertility is no respecter
of persons. Why do we have public
highways, bridges and courts of lawP
Because civilization and human cul-
ture have advanced thus far and no
farther. Society knows enough to
smoke and chew tobacco, drink beer,
wine and whisky, but hardly enough
to abstain from these follies.
In the women's kingdom, COM
mon sense and moral sense
will give virtue her long
delayed rightful ascendancy. Man
alone is not equal to SO great an
achievement. There is much for edu-
Gated females to do in the economy of
Providence. To check the rampant
vices and growing crimes of society de-
mands a new and stronger moral en-
ergy. Female culture will naturally
develop intellectual and social power in
this direction, and happily restrain
where restraint is most needed.

CINCINNATI AND THE SOUTH
ATLANTIC PORTS.

Mr.. J. a. Smythe who is travelling
through the West in the interest of
the prospective line of steamers be-
tween Charleston and foreign ports,
and who visited Nashville a few weeks
ago, has reached Cincinnati. We note
with pleasure that he is meeting with
much encouragement at that import
ant point The Chamber of Com
merce gave him a favorable hearing
and adopted the following liberal and
hope-inspiring resolution:
Resolved by the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce, that fully approaching
the importance to the interests of this
city and the entire Northwest, that we
should have freer communication
through the South Atlantic ports not
only with European but with South
Amer; an and with West Indian ports,
and believing that the present South
ern Railroad, now under construction,
will bring us into more immediate COM
municatioI with that coast, we hereby
recommend the enterprise presented by
the Charleston Chamber of Commerce
to the favorable consideration of our
merchants who are interested in the
import and export trade of this city
and of the Northwest. and ask that
they extend to it their encouragement
and patronage.
The Cincinnati Southern Railroad is
an enterprise in which Cincinnati is
earnestly enlisted and which cannot
but engender strong sympathy there
for the great project which MIR. Smythe
represents. That city is one of the
three great receiving and distributing
points of the West. 1t is when we
take this fact into consideration. that
We are able to estimate what is gained
by Cincinnati declaring in favor of the
new line of transportion.
