The Presidents Salary

A great deal of talk has been occa-
stoned by the mention of the fact that
the President always used new money.
Some people laughed at the idea that he
handed crisp new 500 bill to DR.. Sun
derlan1 for his marriage fee, and again
that he put a crisp new s. bill in the
collection plate at the Oakland church.
People said, "Why, the President must
have money made expressly for him.
The truth is, the President always re-
ceives new notes direct from the Treas
ury. He never gets old notes, except
in change when he pays bill or makes
a purchase. The United States Treas
urer, on the last day Of each month,
sends the President his salary, 81, 1856,
the odd change in bright new silver and
copper cents, and the notes all new and
of the latest issue. Mr.. Cleveland, like
his predecessors, keeps a private bank
account with Riggs & Co., and the cay
after he gets his salary he makes de-
post, reserving enough to pay current
expenses. 1t is said that his account
has shown as large balance as $35, 900,
as he has an income besides his official
salary. Before he entered public life
he made from SIC, 900 to $4,000 year
by his practice, and his expenses were
not more than $4,000. He has saved
much of his fl rst years salary, but now
that he is married his expenses will in

From the Charlestown Spirit
COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EditOr:-In your issues Of June
LIST and Sth I see statements made in ref.
erence to our County bonds. enter
tain the highest respect for our County
Commissioners, yet / think q fuller
statement would be more satisfactory to
the tax payers. First, permit me to
quote from Chapter 81, Section 8, Acts
Of 1881: "The County Court Of said
county is hereby authorized to appoint
an agent, whose compensation shall not
exceed one third of one per cent" &c.
Now, in addition to one third Of one
per cent, follows an item of sl47.7 "a for
expenses. Then, in your issues of June
lst, for printing and agents expenses
81 ,l60. The printing, of course, is cor
rect; but how much for printing. and
how much for expenses, is not stated.
But the most astonishing charge fol-
lows (expense of funding county bonds,
five thousand dollars. Why, sir, it
would have been infinitely better for
the tax payer if not a single bond had
been funded. Instead of costing one
third of one per cent, it has cost US Six
or over Six per cent, without one shad-
ow of Law to justify it. If the court
could not fund for the amount allowed
by the act, it should not have attic mpted
it, but waited for further legislation.
Then, again, how is it that it took sll6,-
900 worth of five per cent. bonds to fund
$103, 400 of six per cent? 1t is true that
several thousand dollars is allowed for
accrued interest, yet why should that
be, when levy was made and collected
everyyear to pay the whole interest on all
the bonds. Then why Is it he fell in debt
$5,4p5.S5Y Why did he not redeem that
amount of bonds? 1t may be said that
one third of one per cent. was not suffi-
cient; but if so no action should have
been taken. But no ole, presume, will
say that over five thousand dollars not
authorized by law was necessary. l
hope we may have an itemized account,
showing how and by whom this amount
of the peoples money was thrown away,
and who was the fortunate person or per.
sons who secured it. An answer to these
questions will be anIiously looked for
by The TAXPAYERS.

New HcheduIe.-A new schedule

New HcheduIe.-A new schedule
went into effect on the Shenandoah Val
ley Railroad last Sunday, and the train
which is of most importance to the town
ia the one which has been changed most.
BY the new timetable we do not receive
our mail until the middle Of the day,
whereas we have been getting it at seven
O'Clock in the morning. The south
bound train that arrived about a. m.
now comes about II, and the north
bound noon train arrives about fifteen
minutes earlier. The other trains vary
only few minutes from the old time.
Corresponding changes were also made
on the Cumberland Valley and Western
MARYLAND roads. The fast mail that
left Baltimore at 3 a. m. now leaves at
4.40. The mail then lays at EagerS-
town a couple of hours before it starts
southwark. A petition will be gotten
up praying for Il star-route from Duff
fields to Shepherdstown, by which we
could get our morning papers and 9TH
Ell mail about So'clock.

Active Canal Busine.s.-Co


Baughman, of the Chesapeake Il Ohio
Canal, was in Baltimore Tuesday
last on his way to New York to meet
the Cumberland coal people there and
look after business for the canal. He
had been to Georgetown, d. c.. where
the loaded boats are arriving this week
at the rate Of about 20 dvy. This is
the first business the canal has done
this year, and President Baughman,
notwithstanding universities, expects to
make a good showing at the end Of the
season. The succession of serious
breaks from the floods have been re-
paired at the smallest practicable cost,
and at meeting of the directors, to be
held in Washington on June 30, he pro-
poses to exhibit a most economical
showing. The dwellings and premises
of the employees on the line of the canal
have been put in good shape, and there
is a general air of neatness that Is favor
ably commented upon by the boatmen,
who are now making their first trips
for the year. The president superin--
tended in person the repairs that have
been made at the several breaks.--Sun.

Undigested Food

In the stomach develops an acid which stings
the upper part OF the throat and palate, caus-
ing "heartburn". 1t also evolves gas which
produces wind on the stomach" and feel
ing and appearance of distension in that organ
after eating. For both this acidity and swell
ling Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is much
better remedy than alkaline salts like harris
horn and carbonate OF soda. A wineglassfull
OF the Bitters, after or before dinner, will be
found to act as a reliable carminative or pre-
ventive. This fine specific for dyspepsia, both
in it's acute and chronic form, also prevents
and cures malariaI fever, constipation, liver
complaint, kidney troubles, nervousness and
debility. Persons who observe in themselves
a decline of vigor should use this nne tonic
without delay.
