THE ONLY GOOD The BOOK WILL DO,
and is the purpose at which aimed. It
will provoke others to contribute what
they know Of the history Of the war; it
will provoke thought upon the lines of
action that were pursued in the admins
tration Of the war, and the result will be
that quantity of authentic data will be
secured which will render the nation fully
informed Of the actual facts Of the epoch
Of its existence which embraced the war;
enabling the future historian to reach a
quantity Of reliable material from which
he can deliberately and philosophically
make his selection for all time There
have been plenty of regimental histories,
but none which embraced corps and ar.
mics, and detailed accounts of the move
ments and actions of these large bodies
are absolutely essential to the compila.
ton Of our national history. You may
have observed that have bestowed Is
much care as possible upon the import
ant matter Of indexing. Indexes and
dates are what are most vitality needed II
creating the history of the war. The
very general criticism with which my
book has been saluted and the comment
it has aroused show conclusively how
deem and earnest m interest the peopl,
feel in Ill history, and the incidents Of tn.

IHE NATIONAL ISCoME.-It Ias
stated few days ago that accounts OF
the government for the fiscal year
ending June 30 show thSt the income
for that period has been larger than
any estimate that had been made, and
more than realizes the expectations oi
treasury officials. The Figures show
that the actual receipts have amounted
TO $2eS, 900. 900, while the estimate was
S2S4, ,Sle, 1896. The sctual expenditures
were S274, 823, ,392. while the estimate
was S215, $40, 400. The result of tni.
Is that the amount left to apply to the
sinking fund is about Sl3, 400, COO, and,
as tho sinking fund amounts to some
$3l ,0O0, 600, the deficit during the past
year will range between seventeen
and half and eighteen million dollars.
1t will, of course, be understood that
this means merely playing out more
money than the treasury takes in, and
does not mean any shortness of funds,
The sinking fund, which caused the
deficit, is money paid out of one pock-
,et of the government into another.
