THE MALTEUSIAN DOCTRINE

To the Editer OF the Eagle;
We have read the recent letter from
the pen OF Alr. c. Wood Davis with no
little interest. since il would seem to be
an attempt to rejuvenate the MaIthusian
doctrine, which so startled the world
nearly q century ago. Nautilus declared
that population tends 10 increase in q
geometrical ratio, while the food supply
increases only in an arithmeticaI ratio;
therefore, inevitably. population con-
stantiy tends TO run ahead OF subsistence.
While his hypothesis may be proved BY
ingenious arguments, there are, never
theiesS, some irrefutable facts that stand
out IN opposition to il.
In the first place it cannot Re allowed
that food production has reached lis
lIMt-that ths earth Is fully cultivated.

a THOUSAND MILLIONS.

The United States of America are be-
coming overshadowing in their greatness,
and the annual expense of the govern
ment is something simply astounding.
1t is said that the government printing
alone cost ten thousand dollars per day
during the late session. 1t is costing
almost as much per day to run the gov
eminent as it did per day to run the war;
The question forces itself, does the con-
gress really appreciate what it is doing?
A thousand millions of dollars is the sum
total of the appropriations, an amount
which equals more than one-third of the
entire war debt. To meet the outlay the
government must collect three and one
third millions of dollars for every work
ing day in the year, or five cents per day
per head for every man, woman, child
and baby in the country. Is there to be
no end to this rapid increase of expense
Herewith find table covering the various
amounts aDprODriated.

From the standpoint of equity, as far
rs the interests of the transportation
lines are concerned, the ruling of the in
terstate commerce commission in case of
Kaufman Milling company, of St.
Louis, was most extraordinary and I'M
just. In effect it places tax of five
cents hundred pounds on the products
OF Missouri and Kansas mills that are re-
quired by and find market in Texas aud
other states south and serves to raise the
prices of such necessities of life to the
consumers TO the extent of the rate
named. The beneiciaries will be the
handful of n1iilers down there who de-
pend upon he fields and granaries I'D

The decision of the directors of a
woman's club in Washington city to
admit a quadroon school teacher bids
fair to break up the society. Miss Desha,
sister-in-law of Congressman Breckin-

southern ladies in the club in Directing
to the admission of the colored girl.
The trouble was caused by the women
6uffragists, who, to be true to their
doctrine of equality, had to advocate
the admission of negroes.

A Wonderful Transformation.

1t is on record in medical literature that
in the year 1881 q poor old man residing in
Tarentum, near Naples, was the subject of
a marvellous change when at the age of
nearly 80 years. His skin peeled off and a
new and soft skin supplied its place; his
muscles again became strong and plump;
the wrinkles disappeared from his face and
the white hairs from his head; black, curly
hair grew Oh his head again, and his com
plexion became fresh and youthful. Sixty
years later he again became decrepit with
a second old age, and died after passing his
I60th year.-St. Louis Republic.

a PATHETIC SCENE.
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
If Mrs. Lease of Kansas is correctly
reported, she has made more mischief
for the immediate interests of the cause
of woman's rights than she or any other
one person IS worth to the cause. A
woman who could take advantage
of her chance as last speaker at the
woman's council in Washington TO make
a bitter political speech, with coarse
threats couched in coarse words. and
with personal rancor bristling through
il, would do much better TO restrict
her oratorical efforts TO doorstep dis
cussions until she learns how to adver-
tise the Farmers Alliance with some
refinement as well as vigor of speech.
1t seems that Mrs. Lease of Kansas came
late to the council, alive with what she
doubtless considered righteous indigna-
ton against Senator Ingalls,, and she
proceeded to pitch into him and TO tell
how near TO Charous ferry the women
of the Farmers Alliance propose to chase
the power of capital. Now, as matter
of hope for the future, the world can
better struggle with abuses of capital
than the abuses of language on women's
tongues in public discourses. Ii would
be better that no woman should ever
have voice IN the councils of the nation
than that 1t should be possible ever to
hear In congress a woman scolding with
the vlrulenCe which makes professors
among men offensive and ABSURD in the
house and senate. The woman soul can
not be very successful in leading upward
ana on when It abrogated its first right
10 respect and honor for the abundance
OF the heart which can prompt the mouth
to speak no evil.

Canadian elections are to be contested,
whenever they went against the govern
ment and new elections will be ordered.
If the government does not win then,
some more elections will be ordered.
This plan is just like the one told of in
the old conductors story. He said when
ever he got dollar in cash he tossed il
up to see which should take it, himself
or the road .'What do you do when
you lose" was asked. ''Why, toss it up
again, of course" was the answer. ST.

tell, out in InGiana. He is the highest
priced piece of horse flesh in the world,
having been sold for Sl05,00o when he
was three years old. Since then. as
the head of a large breeding stud, he
has shown that he was we'll worth
every cent of his price and more. Yet
the valuation put upon him by the tax
assessor was very reasonably what
might be put on any good horsc-S500.
But the dissatisfied economists in his
neighborhood are protesting that he
must be taxed, not on the general prin-
ciple applied to horses, but with regard
to his great and manifest value.
Whcreupon the owners of Axtell, not
being oppressed with idiocy, replied
that il that should be attempted, they
would take the horse out of the state,
and the advantage Of his presence,
which, is by no means trivial, would be
lost. The best and surest subject OF
taxation is the thing that perforce stays
in one place: that is land-N. Y. Sun.
