THE PORTER FIGURES.

The cities that have no reason to COM
plain of injustice in the eccentric figures
put forth by Supt. PORTER, as repre-
senting municipal expenditures, rec
ognize the absurdity of the claims made
for them and the entire absence of any
element of value. The Detroit Free
Press analyses the compilation for that
city, and concludes that, taking them as
a criterion. the tables are not worth the
trouble of compilation. The Omaha
Bee, in examining the figures for
Omaha, says:
The city of Omaha appears from the fig
ures to have expended 81, 800, BOB in 1889. or
SII.I3 per capita, baSing the ratio upon the
population of 1899. The approximate ex-
penses of administration are thought to have
been 81, 455, 1863, or Sl0.36 per capita. The az
erage for the cities of from 100000 to 20O. 900
people is Sill - per capita, while the returns
published herein show Denver to have eX-
pended but S452 for administrative pur-
poses and Kansas City but sos per capita
On comparing the data from which these fig
ures are deduced, it is observed that large
sums are charged 10 both expenditures and
receipts in these cities which are omitted in
Omaha, and vice versa. The calculations for
Omaha are not upon the same basis as in
other cities in several other particulars, and
the results are therefore inconsistent with
the facts.
Omaha and Kansas City have about the
same population as st. Paul. and it is not
believed that there is material difference
in the cost of administration in either of
them.

FULL OF ROMANCE.
Trials and Tribulatjons of Low
ing Pair.

ALLIANCE, o., July 1.-TWO mysteri-
Gus and handsome gentlemen, who had
evidently stolen a ride on a train
from the East, were arrested
here yesterday morning and land
ed in jail, The identity of one was
soon discovered by her bushes and
to-day she acknowledged her name as
Jessie Steadman, of Allegheny City,
daughter of NJ. Steadman. Her escort
was Ii. K. Moseby, cashier of the James
B. Scott tin plate importing house.
Their union was opposed by the girls
father and they fled to Ohio intending
to be married.
Jessie was taken to the mayors resi-
dence. while MoSby was released.
About o'clock this morning she opened
a window on the second floor and
jumped to the ground, twenty feet be-
low. Her lover had lurked in
the neighborhood and together they
fed the city. The police secured
this district, and six miles
from this city in grove they found
the exhausted pair clasped i'll each
others arms and fast sleep. The father
of the girl and brother of the young
man reached Alliance to-day and two
stormy scenes followed. Tonight they
left for Pittsburg, and in all likelihood
a marriage will follow, as they are de-
termined not to be separated.

WANTS TO KNOW.
Texas Railroad Commissioners
Ask Some Questions.

ASFA
AUSTIN, Tex, July 9.-The railroad
commission to-day submitted series of
questions to the railways with the re-
quest that they be answered in writing
by the 18th. Among them were the fol-
lowing of general interest:
What is the rate per ton by rail from New
York city 10 common points in Texas?
What are the rates per ton by rail between
the coast cities of Texas and common points
in the Indian Territory, Kansas and Ne
Draskka?
What are the rates per ton per mile be-
tween the following points and points in
Texas, TO wit:
Kansas City. ST. Louis and Chicago; can
merchandise be carried as cheaply from the
coast cities of Texas to the northern boun-
dairy of Texas as from Kansas City, ST. Louis
or Chicago?
A reduce Of 1000 miles from New York as
a center and reduce of 1000 miles from
Galveston as a center, bisect each other in
the southern part of Minnesota. In view of
this, what can the Texas railroads do towards
giving an outlet to ocean transportation for
the territory nearer the Texas coast than to
the Eastern cities of Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, New YORK and Boston?
The people of the Western stat9s and terri
tories and their commercial and political
representatives are giving all the aid they
can to secure deep water harbors on the coast
of Texas and an outlet to the sea by way Of
the coast of Texas, so as TO be relieved from
the cost of the longer railroad maui to the
Eastern cities. what can the Texas railroads
to do aid them, and what viii they do?

Heavy engagements of grain, provisions,

that has greatly enlarged the area of
production. Most Of il, Of course. goes
to the planters of Louisiana. Their
applications for the bounty exceed SILL
co., 900. The maple sugar makers have
been expected to take a nice sum, but
the applications are reported to be con-
fined mainly to the large producers, as

WILL HAVE NONE OF 1T.
New England Farmers Oppose the
Third Party Idea.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 9.-An ex-
tended canvass by the New England
Homestead shows that the new Peo-
pies party is not Endorsed by tine farm
ers of New England and New York.
The men interviewed were all promi-
nent farmers. While some favor more
independent political action than here
tofore, nearly all oppose the idea of a
special farmers party. One or two go
so far as to say that this party, if very
conservative and the right platform is
put forward, will draw 10 per cent of
the farmers vote in their sections,
Maine and New York, but the majority
place this number far lower, from l to
2 per cent being the average. The sub
treasury bill and the loaning of new is
sues of paper by the government on
land values are looked upon as wild
schemes, and the free coinage of silver
has but small following. The opinion
in general shows the strength of the pO-
sition long held by the grange and car
ried by the Farmers league, that the
farmers movement in this section of
the country will consist more in indie
pendent action through the old parties
than in forming any new party.

FUSION Is FOILED.
Kansas Peoples Party Will Work
Independent.

Topeka, Kas., July 9.-About fifteen
prominent Peoples party leaders in
session here, after discussing the propo-
sition made by the Democratic state
central committee recently to fuse with
them in the local county elections in
Kansas this year, and to unite on an
electoral ticket in opposition to the Re-
publicans next year, declined to fuse.
and statement declaring against such
action was ordered published in the AL
lance Advocate, the official state organ.
This is regarded as very significant in
Kansas and settles the fact that there
will be no presidential electoral ticket
by the Peoples and Democratic parties
next year, as was the desire of the
Democratic state central committee.
Leading Democrats are very indignant
at the independent action of the PeO-
pies party, and now declare that it is
war to the knife from this on.

after lively three-hour meeting this

ment of 45 per cent on the capital stock
and appointed committee OF seven to
examine into the condition of the bank.
The amount raised by the assessment
will fully make good the impairment of
the capital stock, which amounts to
about S120,00O. The stockholders will be

the bounty. 1t is believed there
were but five applicants In this state.
The bounty, at present, at least, is al
mOsfentirely for the benefit of the plant
erS in Louisiana. No doubt this encour
agement will induce them to expand
their area in grateful response to the
national benefaction. Perhaps the cane
sugar district may yet prove large
enough to meet the greater part of the
consumption of the country. But if the
producers of other things, and consum-
ers of the country generally, do have to
pay the possible $50 or $50 to the rich
Louisiana planters. they will have the
satisfaction of knowing that they are
fostering home industry.

SOME PLAIN TALK.
LabOuchere Scores Salisoary'S
Foreign Policy.

OfelSn fOllcy.
LONDON, July 9.-In the house of
commons this evening, in the debate on
the foreign Office estimates, Mr.. Labou-
chere protested against the attitude of
Lord Salisbury toward the dreibund
as calculated to irritate France
Sir James Ferguson, under foreign
secretary, contended that the entents
with Italy to maintain the status quo on
Che MEDITERRANEAN should not be mixed
up with the question of the dreibund,
to which alliance the government
was no party and of the terms of
which the government was unaware.
The entente with Italy, he said, was
not hostile to any power. The sympa-
thy and influence OF England would be
with the powers keeping the
peace and against those breaking
the peace, while English interests would
be chiefly consulted in any concerted ac-
ton that it might be necessary to take
to meet unforeseen events. Mr..
LabOuchere insisted that Lord Salisbury
was doing his best to envenOm relations
with France. This policy, he said, arose
from a feeling that if the republic in
France succeeded, republicanism would
spread abroad in Europe.

ribbons, laces and frills. He forbade
the men to use tobacco. DisObedience,

their tobacco and their frills, gave up
their church, which now consists of only
thirteen members.
