The Governor introduced the Draft y
He said it will be seen that the revenue
is estimated at Sl5 6, 985 or a little less than
last year, on accO unit of the Export Duty
having been entered with only $4,000 or
$4,000 less than in 1899, 90; it is of course
difficult to say beforehand what the Ex-
port Duty will bring in. AS regards the Ex-
ppnditure, it is estimated at S254, 633. ID or
less than in 1889.90, he would mention the
items of Expenditure, in which any nota.
bic differences over 800 occur when com
pared with the last budget. \ not incon-
siderable decrease will be found in the
Military Expenses, as a certain number of
vacancies will occur i'm the staff of men,
VIII ich will not be filled until the Begin
ming of 1891. On the item Public I~nStrnc-
ton there is a decrease of some hundred
dollars, owing to arrangements in regard
to the School Inspector. On the Sanitary
Department there would be found a similar
reduction as some vacancies are expected
to take place i'll the hospital expenses, Oh
the other side it will be seen that it is pro-
posed to grant an allowance of So monthly
to midwives for travelling expenses. In
the Building and Uncertain Expenses a
not incOnsiderable decrease will be found.
as no new building operations are prOpos-
ed. Under the Judiciary and Police De-
partmpnt, there is a small increase, as the
amount to defray fees and travelling ex-
penses to Lawyers in public suits has been
increased from $500 to $500, but at the
same time there is a saving OF $120 hither-
to paid for copying the new Register of
Title deeds etc, in ChristianSted, which is
now completed. Under Divers Expenses
there is a small increase, viz an amount of
support proposed to be granted to the
former policeman Williams, to the former
Midwife Joseph and to the widow OF the
late Lutheran Sexton, Simpson. The Ordi-
nance warrantipg a subsidy for 5 years to

To the Editor Of the st. Croir 'BuIIetjn'
Dear Mr.. Editor!

Dear Mr.. Editor!
Should your columns afford space,
kindly publish a few iottings in justice
to the remarkably pretty Cantata given
in FriedensthaI MOravian Church last even
ING, according to previous advertisement.
The Choir was an unusually large one and
presented to the large audience many
agreeable and profitable surprises.
In the forefront OF the Organ Gallery
were to be seen several lines of Juveniles,
who raised their numerous voices in
inspiring tones with II precision and
a courage that were truly astounding.
l learn with pleasure that many of these
children were selected from the Public
Schools in BaSSin, willie others were brought
from West End. how such a large mum
Der was brought together and so efficient
~ trained was the question that veXed my
mind, hut an elucidatiOn was not long de-
MED, for, in my next scrutiny of the Cho-
rlSterS enumerated ten School Teachers.
Eureka! Here WAS the solution. These
ladies and gpntlemel-all musical folk
had probably been CONSULTED and invited
to enlist the youthful SympathieS. which
had been done with mat promptitude,
energy and ultimate success characteristic
OF the earnest School Master and Mistress
wv ~ Il" I ! III lpuILVi NNt ~ ,
however, rest here, for presiding at the
Organ was the daughter of u Teacher-a
young lady OF considerable musical ability.
The Choral selections were remarkably
good, we've very apprOpI lately sung, and,
without d"nbt, gave general satisfaction.
The effect on the devOut mind was
sublime. At one time the listener was
transported with sad, doleful, plaintive
chords, suggestive of dangers and difficult
ties, trials and temptations at other
times, glad, lively and vigorous strains
aroused The listener and suggested the
happy moments of an otherwise tedious
journey.
CLOUD and Sunshine" has been a must
cal success and if the Cantatas of the
future be as wisely selected and as com
petentIy rendered, it Will not require a
prophetic vision to announce the speedy
and wide popularity that will be accord
ed them.
With best thanks,
Yours truly,
POPULUS.

Oar correspondent is right in praising
the execution Of the Cantata given at the
Moravian Church yesterday evening. and
ii is to be regretted that Sh0wery weather
prevented many from attending. To what
our correspondent says, we would add,
that a great deal of the success must be
put down to the Judgment and energy of
the reverend gentleman whO has conduct

that he has some goodvoiceS in his choir,
notably one soprano voice of excellent
quality. After saying 50 much in favour
Of the performance it must not be taken

ONE OF the most interesting articles in
to-morrow's INDEPENDENT will be some
pictures of gypsy life by our correspond
ent, Edgar l.. Wakeman, who has made
close study OF this strange people. Mr..
Wakeman is an authority on this sub
ject, and some of his discoveries are very
interesting. It is not generally known
that many prominent men in this coun-
try are of gypsy origin. Said Mr.. Wake
man in recent interview: II make it
as statement of fact that I could fill
columns with names and addresses and
properly estimates Of nearly a thousand
gypsies in this country whose combined
wealth would exceed $5O,OOO,OOO." In
New York alone there are at least fifty
gypsies conspicuous in business circles,
several of whom are worth 100000 each
and upward. A leading Boston lawyer,
prominent civil engineer on a southern
railroad, an Indianapolis physician, and
a capitalist at Washington are of gypsy
birth. OF gypsy origin also are the
Cooper family of East Somerville, near
Boston, who are worth $4,000, sUriah
Horton, Of New York, the owner OF
100000 worth of real estate, Henry
Stanley of st. Paul, who is worth S4O,-
600, Elias Brewer of Milwaukee, whose
fortune is $4,000, and many others
whose pedigree Mr.. Wakeman has in
dustrious'y traced. The popul0r esti-
mate of the gypsy race must undergo re.
vision in the light Of Mr.. Wakeman'e

have as little use for the same papers,
Tor they could tell him next to nothing
about the affairs Of his own country.
The poet has said that the government
which is best administered is best,
and it may be said Of newspapers that
that which most faithfully reflects the
happenings Of the community in which
1t IS published is best for all the people
in that community. A curious crank
IN one OF the magazines for the current
month has collected figures showing
how much different American newspa-
pers spend for news, and certain of the
JOURNALS named in the list are Wanting
their superiority as newspapers be-
cause OF the size of their telegraph bills.
We believe st. Louis paper leads all
the rest in expenditure, but it does not
follow, by any means, that the newspa-
per in question is the best for the Lon
doner or the Chicago man. As Mr.. De-
pew wisely said, universal circulation
for newspaper is no longer possible,
and the New York editor does not write
for Chicago, nor the Chicago editor for
st. Louis. Each newspaper in the land
has its individuality, opinions of its own,
prints the news of it's own field, and il
therefore best for the constituency for
which it is published.

Tribute From a Friend.

HELENA, June 6. 1880.
To The INDEpKNDENr:-The late George
d. Eastin, whose death your columns
chronicle this morning, was man of re-
markable energy. and possessed of the
rare faculty of generalship in the collection
of news.
I have not the means of knowing what
impression his work made on his associates
in Montana, but three years experience
under him in the East, led me to regard
him az giant at work.
He was not man easily understood; the
tender and sympathetic qualities of his
nature were concealed but this was largely
due to unusually bitter experiences in his
early life. Yet he could put out his hand
TO the novice in the reportorial field and lift
him out of many disagreeable swamp. He
could recognize genuine ability and give
1t the fair play necessary for growth. He
cordially detested men of small callbre
and as newspaper fighter of shams and
humbugs he was chevalier.
1t was a genuine pleasure in the old days
to an industrious man to watch him work
He was compact all through in his methods.
Above all land it furnished key to his
character) he never undertook work with
out carrying it to the end.
He has laid down the pen and the assign
ment book; the jaded brain rests at last.
as one of his old associates and owing
much to him by lessons of patience and
perseverance in work, can wish no more
than that ne has crossed to the sweet fields
of EdeAs End found peace. II. l. @.
