Secretary Of Wars Report.
MONEY EXPENDED UNDER THE DIRECT.
ION OF THE WAR DE
PARTMENT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The report of
the secretary of war made public to
day shows that the total expenditures
under the direction of the war depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1885, amounted to S45,S50, ,999, 90.
Out of this sum S25,754,425,49 was
devoted to the army and military
academy. The appropriations for the pre-
sent year are $3l,762,4l3,49. He says
that the increase of the expenditures
for 1885 over those of 1884 was main
ly for river aud harbor impro vements.
As there was no appropriation for
river and harbor improvements this
year, the appropriations for the year
ending June 80, 1886, show large re-
duction as compared with the appro-
priatons for the previous years.
The lieutenant general commanding
reports that the army at the date of
the Consolidated returns consists OF g.
l54 officers and 24,7O5 enlisted men.
The expenditures FOR the signal ser
vice during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1885, after deducting the receipts
from military telegraph lines covered
into the treasury, were 2,562.97.
The secretary states that he is unable
to concur in the recommendations of
the chief signal officer for Legislation
to provide for the permanent detail Of
fifty enlisted men f,om the line of the
army for duty on the military tele-
graph lines.

Testing the Primary Election Law.

Commissioner Leonard, of Schuylkill
. county, who was convicted of violating
the primary election laws by promising
patronage TO secure his election to
office, has been refused new trial and
enjoined from performing the duties
of the office to which he was elected.
His counsel will appeal to the Supreme
Court, on the ground that the primary
election law is unconstitutional and
will thus give that tribunal an oppor
tunity to nullify the law in question
once for all or to decide that it is on
the statue books to stay.
The Greene county case, in which
payment Of the forfeit of an election
bet to the Poor Directors was demand
ed on the ground that the law entitled
the Poor Board TO money "bet on
elections" and refused on the ground
that primary elections were not recog-
nized by law at the time this forfeiture
was legalized, did not make it nee.
essary for the Supreme Court to pass
on the coEstitutionality of the primary
election law, although the point of un-
constitutionality was raised by the
Shareholders council. The Leonard
case, however, is calculated to draw
out an exhaustive discussion of this
point and its result will be awaited
with interest by civil service reformers
and machine politicians of all parties
alike.
Experience has shown the futility OF
newspaper forecasts of Supreme Court
decisions even on mooted law points in
which the public have an interest deep
er than the fate of technicalities, but
no one can gainsay the fact that
spollsmen of every grade and party
hope the primary election law will be
pronounced unconstitutional. On the
other hand, all who are in favor of the
gradual purifcation of politics and the
discouragement of methods which tend
to prevent conventions from NOM
mating and elections from electing
candidates on theiImerits want to see
tina: law affirmed and placed perman-
emily beyond dispute.-Iinses

Interpreting the New Tax Law.

On account of some dissatisfaction re
lative to the blank form to be used on
the subject of personal taxation, the
Auditor General issued the following
circular, which will be sent to the COM
missioners of each county in the State :
"ln reply to numerous inquiries, |
beg to advise you that the item of
horses and cattle, shown on the blank
form Rip, is not in any way to be
construed as making such property
subject to state taxation. When l
was having blanks prepared they were
submitted to the officers of several
counties for approval and such sugges-
tions their experience would dictate.
These officers all agreed in having the
item of horses and cattle shown on the
blanks, believing it would facilitate
their local assessment. 1t was in de-
ference to this wish that the item was
included on the blank. Please advise
your assessors that the taxpayers are
not obliged to make return of them on
the blanks

Our Navy.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The report
of the secretary of the navy was made
public to day. 1t shows that the net
amount drawn from the treasury by
warrant during the last fiscal year was
Sl3,337, 7,S67.72, as shown by the books
of the department, which leaves a bal
ance undrawn of Sl,OSS,O75.O9 to
this should be added the net amount
unexpended in the hands of pay Off
GERS on said June 80, 1885, as shown
by the office of the fourth auditor, ST..
265, $40, ga, leaves an aggregate bal
ance unexpended of $2,353, ,645. 73,
which stood to the credit Of the de-
partment at the beginning of the pres
ent fiscal year. The appropriations
available for the present fiscal year,
commencing July |, 1885, are $l3,-
59O,7O4.95. The amount drawn b,
warrant from the treasury from July
l, 1885, to November /, 1855, deduct
ing that refunded, is S4,2S5, ,764.3
The amount drawn by warrant during
the same period of last year was ST.
200, S5fOO.
The estimates for the navy for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1887,
amount to $50, ,695.l5, in which
sum are embraced estimates for new
objects, not those ordinarily for the
service, amounting to S16,069,950 "a,
leaving for the customary purposes of
the service S19,O34,744 81. They en-
brace for increase of the navy $40, $685.
no; for the completion and armam ent
of the double-turreted monitors S4,-
POP $3.50; and for public works and i'm
provements at the yards and stations
$4,26S,337.41.
The secretary says that the Dolphin,
as she now is, should be regarded as
pleasure boat rather than dispatch
boat. The absence of the most ordi-
nary and approved devices for protec-
ton against hostile fire in her design
take her out of the category of war
vessels. The use for instance of ver-
tical engines, exposing her machinery
above the water-line in a vessel with
out armor protection. it is far from be.
ing good practice at this time In fact,
she does not bear favorable compari-
son with similar vessels built a. about
the same time by other countries.

Some of our farmers, since hearing the

Levi Shaffer aud E. Wagner have been
back to the mountain for cattle and sheep.
They report them scarce with ian inclina-
ton to remain back to the mountain, as
one of the sheep jumped the wagon and

The Republican Senators held cau-
Gus at Washington last Friday and
nominated Gen. Logan for the position
of President of the senate. Senator
Edmunds made speech putting Logan
in nomination Several others spoke
aud the question was put and unani-
mously agreed to. As soon as the re-
suit was announced Logan arose and de-
clined to accept. 1t is said that it was
understood beforehand that Logan
would not accept, and the whole thing
was cleverly devised farce, by which
Logan was to be vindicated. This
view of it is borne out by the fact that
Logan was present at the caucus and
made no objection to the use of his
name until the vote had been taken.

Judge Smonton of Harrisburg, has
decided that the Legislature has the
right to forbid the manufacture and
sale of imitation butter in this State,
and that the law passed at the last
session, prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of any oleaginous substance
other than milk or cream, designed to
take the place of butter, is constitutions
AL The oleomargarine manufacturers
will take the question to the Supreme
Court. Their case would undoubtedly
have much strength if oleomargarine
was sold or served to the actual con.
sumers for what it really is, but, as it is
made in nearly all cases to masquerade
as genuine butter, the right of the
State to treat it as a fraud and to sup
press it is seemingly perfect one, and,
doubtless, the Supreme Court will so
maintain.
