WILLING TO AID THE NEEDY.

KANSAS CITY, March 26.-The general
managers of the Union Pacific, Missouri
Pacific, Santa Fe and Chicago, Kansas &
Nebraska lines have issued the following
circular in reference to transporting grain
for needy western Kansas settlers:
applications for free or reduced rates of
transportation on shipments of seed grain
from counties and individuals having be-
come quite numerous, joint action of the
railroad companies seems desirable.
Investigations by competent authori
ties demonstrate that there is a
certain need among the new settlers in a
few OF the western counties in Kansas
The railroads are willing to do their part
toward assisting these people in getting
their necessary seed during this and next
month. and to this end have taken the fol-
lowing action:
The railroad companies above named
will transport free reasonable amount of
seed grains for spring planting which have
been donated to the needy of these coun-
ties, provided such shipments are con-
signed to and distributed by an agent or
committee duly appointed and certified to
by the county commissioners of said
counties. 1t would be impracticable to
consider individual applications, as the
county officers should take these matters
in hand and make known their needs. BY
this means only can the needy be best as
sisted and the public and the transporta-
ton companies be protected in their efforts
TO aid the deserving. The county commits
sionerS of the few western counties which
need aid are requested to send to the rail
road companies named above statement
of what their needs viii be, that directions
may be given.for the free transportation of
such necessary seed grains for spring
planting

LITERALLY STARVING.

PHILADELPHIA, March Ga dispatch to
the Record from Mt. Holly, n. j., says;
A sad case of poverty and deftitution came
to light in a most respectfully quarter of
Mt Holly last night. In neat residence
the three Misses Aarons and their sister
Mrs. Wiegand, have lived in a quiet way
for a number of years past. They are all
children of the late Samuel Aaron, who
was known forty years ago as one of the
educators of his day and as a
gentleman of rare intellectual at
tainments. AT his death he
left small estate, part of which was a
house in Mt. Holly where his daughters
have since lived. having but small means
very economically. Recently they have
been seen but little by the neighbers. 1t
was found on Sunday that one of the sis
tiers, Miss Mary Ann Aaron, and Mrs.
Wiegand were dead. Then cause of the
trouble was learned. The women were lit
orally starving Another of the sisters is
in very precarious condition and it would
not be surprising if she did not long sur
vive.

evening. Mr.. Goschen said: The total
expenditure for the current year had been
+eS1, 427 900, showing saving of 9423 600 on

the preceding year. The revenue also
presented satisfactory account. The
total was es9,5S9,0OO, being e145, 400 more
than the estimate. lCheers. Coming to
the details of the budget, the customs on
tobacco showed a reduction in revenue of
1856, 900, but the actual consumption had
increased under the rearranged duty. to
the advantage of the consumer who now
consumed more tobacco and less water than
before. The decline in revenue from spirits
and wine had stopped for the first time in
many Years. The total increase in reye-
nue. had been 100000 from spirits and
81, Ia, eco from stamps and succession du-
ties, over last year. This was the most
promising field for the eNchequer reaper
This showing was also proof of the general
prosperity of the country, the increased
revenue from stamps especially indicating
a reviewal of trade. OF the income tax he
could not speak with satisfaction, as they
had been less than of any year since 1884
To sum up, the excess of revenue over
N
penditures, gave a total realized surplus of
II. les. loo, the greatest since 1874. lcheersi
He had begun the year with balance in
hand of $3.50, 600. and had ended it with
q balance Of e, $4,000.
Coming TO the national debt they had
decreased their liabilities during the year
by 81, 60l, 900, the largest sum paid off dur
ing any year since 1872. cheers
Dealing next with the estimates for the
coming year he said il was calculated
that the total expenditure would be
1876 GIG, 600, decrease of e512.000 as COM
pared with the present year The revenue.
Rs estimated, would be e9S. 2Ss, 900. giving
surplus of e 80 900 over the .expendi-
ture.
Mr.. Goschen's proposals commanded the
admiration of the Hobbies 1t is expected
they will be resisted in some minor points,
but in the main will be accepted. The
rhancellor's statement greatly enhanced
bis reputation.
In reply to Mr.. Nolan, an Irish member.
MIR. Goschen said he most sincerely desired
that Ireland should have fair share of
the reductions in taxation. He was quite
ready TO discuss the matter with Mr.
Nolan with the view of re-adjusting the
taxes, II a change were found necessary.
