Government Pensioners and
Sugar Bounty Men Get 1t.
TAXPAYERS FOOT THE BILL.
The Peoples Money will be Scattered Broad
cast Over the Country this Year.
No Possibility of Decreased Taxes.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 11-All the talk on
the part of Secretary of the Treasury Fos-
ter about redeeming the AZ per cents if
bankers do not take up the reissues at as
low rate of interest as he desires, is stuff
and nonsense. Not one half the effect of
the extravaganza of the billion dollar con-
gress has yet been felt. and already the
United States treasury is reduced to that
state where, if it We're Il private concern,
its credit would be very low Every effort
has been made to hold expenditures out in
the next fiscal year and to make the cash
balance appear as favorable as possible, yet
the only money available. putting the most
liberal construction possible. is s., 900, 900
net cash, $50 1000, 600 subsidiary coin, and S21.-
600, 900 deposited in banks. The availability
of the last two items is merely constructive
Over 5000, 600 of the last quarterly pay
ment for pensions is due this month, and in
July there will be draft for at least SILL
OOO,O more. The greater part of the di-
rect tax has been refunded, but there is
considerable vet to pay.
Sugar bounties. which must be paid, ac-
cruing during the next fiscal year. may
amount to SIS, 0O0, 900. and the new appro-
priations passed by the "billion dollar con-
gress,' with all their burden of public
buildings and subsidies, go into effect on
the LIST of July. Meanwhile the revenue is
DSAN''
prospect of coming up again TO meet the
eXtravagances of this administration A
thing to be taken into consideration in this
connection is that the government feeds on
last years crop, so to speak, and in conse-
quence the extravaganza of the last congress
cannot be felt until some time
in February. The appropriations made
by the Fifty-frst congress carry with
them progressive liabilities which will
fall upon the next and perhaps upon
future congresses, and no money is
accommodating to meet them. Whatever
party comes in after the expiration of Har-
rison's term will have a bankrupt govern
ment to rehabilitate and it is far
from improbable that the question
of raising more revenue by direct
tax or otherwise will demand consideration
by the next congress. The most rigid econ
omy can hardly bring the appropriations of
the near future down to correspond to the
condition the governments finances must
be in after the expenditures now author
lied have been made. 1t is acknowledged
at the department that the object in discon-
tinuing the daily statement of the cash bal
ance in the treasury is to prevent the dis
closure from time to time of the apparent
deficiency.

Wanted a Government Purely Republic

I see in your columns of May 90 Sub
stitute for the sub-treasury plan S1bmittei
by Hon. Barnett Gibbs. As to My p4
sented, he says the sub-treasurX plan pfp-
poses to deal with too many 3ndividp6ls
and on basis of too many YmmodiA es.
He also retains the bonded system of2per
cent
As to too many individuals YIN say
when money is not issued direct 10 The
people they are compelled to pay rates OF
interest not in keeping or compatible with
a government that is truly republic The
bonded system cost the common people a
great quantity of money for a certain
class. hence is Objectionable. Our govern
ment is not less despotic than the country
from which we rebelled in 1916 in bonds
and banking, viz, to tax the people to raise
the issue, when the general government
can issue without interest. Mr.. Gibbs let's
have a government purely republic. You
are over an average-lay down all old party
prejudices and teaching on this question,
because it rises higher than party. Re-

DEADLY LAUDANUM.
A Farmer Near Edna Succeeds Too Well
in an Effort to Quiet His Nerves.

Special to the Gazette
EDNA, JACKSON COUNTY, TEX, June Il
AT O'Clock on Tuesday evening Mr. L.
Dittmer, farmer living near Edna, had
gotten home and, being very nervous,
thought he would quiet his nerves, so he
picked up four-ounce bottle of laudanum
and drank a large quantity of its contentSf
All available means of treatment kno(n
by the family were used without
success. A physician was called at Clock
and arrived at the house at 2:3O O'Clock !;
but by this time the fatal fluid hid it
poisonous grip upon the blood's circulati&
and his system. Antidotes, emetics and IL
means were used to arouse him from his
stupor, but with no effect. He never gained
consciousness from half an hour after the
laudanum had been taken, and died at few
minutes before 3 o'clock

late war against the Cuban insurgents.
His trial developed the facts that several
Spanish officials have been in collision
with the bandits. conniving at their vii
lainies and sharing in the plumber; that
they aided them to extort money from
those they kidnapped. and that Colonel
Mende Rey and Lieutenant Miguel Fal-
con y Morales in particular had assisted in
the robbery of Modesto Ruiz. Ruiz was a
sugar planter worth over 81 ,0OO, 600, and
municipal judge of the important town of
Remedies. The bandits seized him on the
outskirts of his own plantation and held
him prisoner in the mountains, where he
was startled by n visit from Colonel Men
dez Rey.
To regain his liberty he agreed to make
a will leaving SOC, 900 to the children OF
the colonel, besides paying the bandits
literally. He did this and said nothing
about it after his release, being in fear OF
his life, but his daughter wormed the Sc
cret out of him and informed the authori.
ties. The result has been that the colonel
was shot and Lieutenant Falcon y Morales
is condemned to eighteen years. imprison-
ment. In many parts of the island, local
reports say, this sort of thing has been GO
ing on, and in addition the troops plumber
on their own account, SO there is great dis
satisfaction and threats of another revolu-

died July 8, 1887 SOLOMON HEYDENFELDT.
and soon after a very handsome woman of
about thirty-fiye years appeared to take
possession, calling herself Mrs. Heyden-
feldt. And she had five ch~ildren-all Hey
denfeldts.
There was a mystery, but It was kept in
sid the family. San Francisco folks don't
trouble themselves much about their
neighbors' private affairs, and in some way
the judge reconciled his other children to
their five half brothers and sisters. Re-
Gently he died, and behold this last wom-
an was recognized in the will as his wife,
and her children provided for equally with
the others, besides a liberal legacy to her.
OF course n suit was begun-the five older
heirs against the widow" and her five
and then came the browning sensation.
The widow" declared positively that
the so called second wife was never mar
ried to the judge, so he wa at liberty to
marry her and did. and she was content to
make no trouble while the second lived.
And 1t turns out that there is no record
whatever, clerical or official, of that second
marriage; but, after long search, the heirs
ave found one James j. Barry, who says
he saw the marriage in a Catholic church.
He is a reliable old man, but cannot pos
sibiy remember what year it WAS or in
what church. So there is room for a curl
GUS and prolonged suit.
