ALL THE MONEY Is GONE.
And the Republicans Have Run the Goun-
try into Debt.
From. the W.iminoton STIR

From the Wilmington iStar.l
The deficit in the treasury grows.
The estimates have heretofore run up
as high as $50, 200, 900, but since SEN
ator Allison made his statement Mon
day in the Senate as to the amounts
called for by the various appropriation
bills there is something more definite
to figure upon. From this statement
it appears that these will require an
aggregate appropriation of about
1858, ,O00, 900, not counting the $780,
100000 of permanent appropriations,
making total of ASS 100000. The
Washington correspondent of the
PhiIadelphia Ledger, who is clerk of
the Committee on Ways and Means,
shows that the deficit may reach $144,-
100000, aud under no circumstances
can be less than $4,000. The Secre-
tary Of the treasury estimated the ex-
penditures for the current year at
1922, 1000, 900, $67 ,OO0,O8O less than
these appropriation bills call for. He
estimated the revenues at 1886 ,O0O,-
600, but $2o, 10000 more than these
bills call for. leaving unprovided for
the interest on the public debt, the
sinking fund, collections of customs
and other items provided for in the
permanent appropriations. After a
close and comprehensive review of the
situation, enumerating all the possible
and probable revenues, compared with
the expenditures. the correspondent of
the Ledger sums it up thus:
Expenditures ......... ........-.. $459. .0OO. 900
Dependent pensions ............. 20,000,0 900

Zeb Vance has rendered faithful
and patriotic service to his people dur
ing too many years and in too many
ways for the rawlings of the editor of

He is the truest of the living sons
of the Old North State.
He has acted truly and wisely. We

In this statement he takes from the
receipts the estimated reduction of the
revenue which will follow the passage
of the tariff bill, but he says, if the
tariff bill could be abandoned, and the
estimates of the Secretary of the
Treasury be realized, the deficit would
then amount to the enormous sum of
$94, 100000. This is nice showing
that the Republican statesmen have
to make to the people already bur-
dened with taxes beyond their ability
to bear. No wonder they are resort
ing to force bills and bayonets to keep
themselves in power, for in these is
their only hope of remaining in after
the record they have made in this

Any reasonable, unprejudiced man,
who wilf carefully read Vance's letter,
must admit that it contains not one
single line which can be construed as
hostile to the farmers. 1t is true that
he opposes the ub-Treasury bill in
its pre- sent shape, but many Alliance
men do the same. In fact, the more
this measure is discussed, and the bet
ter it is understood, the more opposi-
tion there is to it.

Up in a book dealers place in Broad
way, not far from Eighth street, curios-
ity seekers and men who a afford TO
indulge their love for queer manuscripts
a find, perhaps, the strangest bit of
writing known. On n piece Of parch-
ment like paper, five feet wide and six
feet five inches high, are written all the
books of the Old Testament, forming the
design Of a window in King Solomon's
temple. No lines are used. Written
words form the whole design. The writ
ing is very minute, but legible to the
naked eye. Ink of three colors was used,
but principally black ink. 1t is a very
intricate piece of work, marvellous in its
way, and must have taken considerable
time and patience.
The work was executed by one David
Davidson, apparently in a mood of re-
hgious fervor. He was blind of an eye, and
his of writing was to lie at full
length upon the floor, on his stomach,
with his eye Che was lei sighted) very
close to the paper. He died some twenty
years ago. Each chapter and verse is
numbered. The writing is not running
script, but each letter is separate; nor
are the letters much, if any, larger than
a thirty-second of an inch high.-New

The amount of blood in the body is
one-thirtieth tho weight of the body, or
five or six quarts, or eleven or twelve
pounds. The average man dies when he
has lost one-fifth of his blood. The heart
with each contraction elects six ounces
of blood from each ventricle, Mt "A press
ure in the left ventricle of one-fourth oi
an atmosphere. The heart sends all the
blood around the body Of the average
man once every thirty seconds, or in
about thirty-five contractions of the
organ. A deadly poison injected into
the veins kills in fifteen seconds on the
average; injected under the skin in about
four minutes. A cubic millimeter of
blood contains 5000, 600 blood cells in
the average man, and about 1900, 900 in
the average woman. There are 300 red
cells to every one white blood cell. The
red cells have an average diameter of
: 1900 Of an inch, the white cells Of
les 900 of an inch. The specific gravity
of blood is 1.055. The frequency of the
pulse in the new born is 100; in infants
l year old, 40; at 2 years, 90; from 7 to
IA, 50; in adult man, 70; woman, 80.
The respirations are one-fourth as rapid
as the pulse.-St. Louis Republic.

a noticeable thing about the statues
found in our museums of art, supposed
to represent the perfect figures of ancient
men and women, is the apparently dis
proportionate size of their feet. Wemod-
ems are apt to pronounce them too large,
particularly those Of the females. 1t will
be found, however, hat for symmetrical
perfection these feet could not be better.
A Greek sculptor would not think of such
a thing as putting u nine inch foot on a
1--we and one-half foot woman. Their
types for these classical marble figures
were taken from the most perfect forms
Of living persons.-Shoe and Leather Re,

TT WAS NJ 1T WASN'T.

We call the attention of THE LEADER
to the fact that Mr.. B~utterworth voted
for the Mckinley tariff bull with a loud
ave" thus iustifying the compliment
paid him by the SIM Yesterdays Sun.
The Sun compliments Mr.. B%utterworth
for his strong speech in opposition to the
Mckinley bill and a few days later com
mended that very measure in language
which, if not choice. was at least unmis-
taxable. That B%utterworth stultified
himself in the vote which he cast for the
Mckinley bill there can not be the least
shadow Of doubt. That the Sun should
commend his action in this matter is not
surprising for it expressed itself as being
with him in his opposition to the bill and
then applauds him when he votes forit A
fellow feeling makes u wondrous kind
and the Wyoming straddler can therefore
well afford to doff his hat in polite obeis-
ance to the Ohio congressman.
1t is perhaps not generally known that
the Mckinley bill would never have passed
the house but for thu assurance that it
would be radically modified in the sem
ate. b
Speaking of Butterworth the following
description Of the scene in the house, ex-
tracted from the Chicago Herald will
prove of general interest: BOLD Ben
Butterworth did come to the front at one
moment and roundlY denounced McKin-
ley and the committee for the methods
BY which they mad forced the bill upon
the house. He complained that the OPP
poriunity to amend had been cut of by
the committee. and that there had been
no effort to get the conceusus OF opinion
OF the party, but that the committee had
forced their bill through and tried TO bind
the political consciences of members. He
said that he did not believe that there
had been any divine decree nor yet any
command of the Republican party by
which the ark OF the political covenant
was committed to a few gentlemen. lie
for his own part, wanted to
do one of W things either vote
according to his own convictions, or so as
In agree with what should be the con
eensns of o%ninion ON the Republican side
of tho bouse There had h,en no chance
r. determine What the coneensu, Of opip-
ion was. He said that if. this were the
end many VOTES might he recorded differ
en,lv ,rom vha, they would he today.
This sentiment, was vigorously an
plauded by all the. Democrats and by
many Republicans. but il did not change
nuy votes. All the pr~otestau,s were sal,
isfyine their somewhat elastic conscience
with the reflection that no matter how
tbey voted Brother Allison would fl,
things in the senate. What was the neec
oftheir sacrificing themselves in a revolt
against party, as long rs Brother Allison
was going to make it all right in the sen
ate? And so when the votes were cast
10 the name Ben Butterworth led all the
rest in favor Of the bill.

reports Gen. King as declaring himself
out of the race for reappointment to his
present position when his term expires

undoubtedly strong feeling over the
state in favor of Capt. Green's promo
ton to this important post. Capt. Green
is the commander of the famous Belknap
Rifles of this city, and has led the COM
pany to many victories in state, inter-
state and national contests He is a son
of Col. N. o. Green. q prominent law
yer of San Antonio, and is himself

Green to the command of the state mill
