A very small sponge soaked in al
cohol will fill a large balloon with
hot air. It is on this principle that
some people who have reasons Of
their own for their views would like
to construct the currency. They
want ths actual supply of cash to
correspond with the sponge; and of
the sponge they demand control, so
that it will depend on them to say to
what extent the balloon of credit
may be'infated. But it must be ap-
parent to every business man en-
gagged either in producing commodi-
ties or in distributing them through
trade that an undue restriction of the
supply 6 actual cash is an undue re-
striction OF the possibilities of trade

More Offers Of Gold.

WASHINGTON, March 14.--The free
gold in the treasury has been built
up until it aggregates more than
100000. Several offers were re-
ceived today from western points, ag-
gregating $4,000. Secretary Car
isle is accepting these offers as fast
as he can supply the small treasury
notes for them. Only the most adj
vantageous offers are now accepted.
The names of the banks that make
the offers, and the cities in which
they are located are not now given
to the press for publication. This
change in practice is said to have
been suggested by President Cleve-
land, as some banks had an idea that
to have the fact stated that they were
parting with gold might have the
effect of weakening the confidence
felt in them. The treasury depart
ment is also accommodating gold in the
ordinary course of business, though
no offers of gold in any considerable
amount have been received by the
treasury from eastern bankers.

ANALYSIS OF APPROPRIATIONS.
A Statement Made by Representative
Henderson, OF Iowa.


Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, eight
years a member of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations. has made
careful analysis of the work of the
Fifty second Congress.
He gives the total appropriations,
including permanent appropriations,
at 81, O26, 822,049.72, exceeding the
Fifty-6rst Congress by $38, 404, $685.
80, an increase of $115,707.42 for
each Congressional district in the
United States.
He notices the charge that the
Senate makes the large appropria-
tions and calls attention to the fact
that the House, at the session just
closed, sent their bills to the Senate
for $513,687 ,24202, or at the rate
of over $1,027 100000 per annum.
The House is a "Billion Dollar
House," for its bills for the Fifty
second Congress aggregated $1,OO4,-
178,614.79 before they reached the
Senate.
He shows that in addition to ap-
preparations actually made by the
Fifty second Congress, it authorized
contracts mortgaging future reve-
nues in the sum of $58,526,621.
He says that if the Fifty-second
Congress seeks to excuse itself by
charging It's extravaganza to the leg
islation of the Fifty first Congress,
then the latter Congress can make
similar claims against it's Democratic
predecessor and the Fifty second
Congress, aggregating over $91, OOO,-
900.
To guard against q deficit, Mr..
Henderson warns this administration
to give closer attention to ''moon-
sinners and the ''whisky ring" in
collecting internal revenue than 1t
did from 1885 to 1889, when it COL
lected $51, O95, 682.O4 less than Pres
ident Arthur and $115,385,524.73
less than President Harrison.
He shows that the retiring admin
istration paid 1896, 316,931.20 on the
public debt, saving in interest $685.
352,493.51 annually.
He touches on pensions, showing
from the bureau report that the rolls
will reach their highest point on De-
cember 81, 1894, with 1,171,918 on
the rolls, including invalids, widows,
orphans, and dependent parents, the
annual value of the rolls at that date
being $155,865,O94, and that in 1895
there will be dropped from the rolls
1882 pensioners, with an increasing
ratio thereafter. Referring to the
complaint against widows pensions
he shows that if all widows claims
yet undisposed of are allowed, there
would be 7O9,834 dead soldiers un-
represented on the rolls by widow,
an orphan, or dependent parent.
He also points out the danger to
the Treasury from war claims, and
says that Congress has now the data
to show that about $600,000,O00 may
yet be drawn from it to satisfy their
demands.
Mr.. Henderson refers to the defeat
of the bankrupt bill in the House,
the burial of the pure food bill, the
slaughter of the anti option bill, it's
inability to grapple with the money
question, It's silent admiration Of the
Mckinley bill, and predicts that the
Fifty-second Congress will go down
to history as ''The Know Nothing"
and "The Do Nothing Congress"

The PlutOcrats and the Homeless.

A census bulletin of farm and
home own arship in Massachusetts has
just been issued, and it shows that
in spite of the enormous wealth con-
gested in that State the common
people are almost if not quite as
badly ofsrthere as in some of the
States from which the Massachusetts,
Plutocracy draws it's income.
"Among the 479,49O families of
the State says the bulletin, there
are 3O4,737 or 63.51 per cent which
hire their farms and homes, and
1858 or 36.49 per cent which own
them. OF the families which own,
66,149 or 37.85 per cent have farm
or home incumbrance, and 108,804
or 62.15 per cent are free of incum-
brance. EF-z5O families, on an av-
erage, 63.51 hire their farms and
homes, 1881 own with incumbrance
and SO own without incum-
brance."
"Farm and home" as here used
means a habitation of any kind,
whether in city or country. 1t is a
most surprising fact that in Massa-
chusetts, the richest State in the
Union, where there are probably
more millionaires IN proportion to
the population than there are any
where else on the continent, over
sixty-fve families in every hundred
are landless and houSeless tenants,
who have no bones of their own and
keep roof over their heads only at
the pleasure OF landlords.
In Bostor less than nineteen fami-
lses in every hundred own their own
homes. The rest aGoar aaen4rts
Undoubtedly THU S largely due TO
the abuse of the national taxing
power and to the methods by which
the national currency has been con-
trolled for class benefit, but it is also
due to some extent to local taxation,
as the increased ratio of homeless
ness in the cities shows. Whether
the tax is national or local /; whether
it is tariff tax or a municipal tax
for improvements, its inevitable
effect is to centralize the control of
property.
Under high taxation the wealth in
land and houses as well as in money
is soon collected into the hands of
the few. The time has come when
the majority of the people in the
United States are homeless and
landless, and under the present sys-
tenn it must soon come when, taking
the country through, 80 per cent of
it's wealth in real estate as well as in
personal property will be owned by
less than 10 per cent of it's popula-
ton. We already see in our leading
cities three-fourths majority of the
people who are too poor to own their
own homes, and seeing it see the
plutocratic majority still as fierce as
ever in demanding what it conceives
to be it's rights-the right to control
the money and the wealth Of the
country and to take toll from every
grist that is ground. 1t is compi-
Gated problem we are creating for
posterity in America, but it will work
itself out in time. When it does the
country will find way to discourage
plutOcracy.

BATTLES WITH AFRICANS.
The British and Germans Both Have
Engagements with the Natives.

CALCUTTA, March 1.-THE Brit
ish have had a severe battle with the
tribe beyond Chatrel, where the
British have for some time been en-
deavoring to strengthen the Indian
frontier against the possibility of
Russian encroachment. The British
recently occupied Chilas, beyond
Chatrel, with a garrison and fortified
the place with the intention of hold
ing it permanently. The mountain
tribes took ofense and made an at
tack On the front, which was bravely
defended by the British. The con-
fiict was desperate and sanguinary,
and the natives were at length driven
off, with a loss of 200 men. The
British were then aggressive, and
marched against the entrenched vii
lagos and the hostile tribes. Owing
to the mountainous character of the
country, this expedition was ex-
tremely hazardous, but the British
troops acquitted themselves valiantly,
storming village after village, under
the command of Major Daniele, who
was shot through the heart while
leading his men in an assault on one
of the villages. He carried every
point occupied by the hostile natives,
the British leaving twenty-three
killed and $50 wounded in the fight
ing. The result of the struggle
greatly strengthened the British po-
sition by what was considered the
weakest point in the vicinity of the
Hindu Kush.

A Newly Arrived Germans Experience
With Escaping Gas.

A Newly Arrived Germans Experience
With Escaping Gas.
Last evening about z O'Clock German, sp-
parently about forty years old, arrived at the
Baltimore and Ohio depot from Baltimore and
registered at the Golden Eagle Hotel ss Louis
Koch and the clerk assigned him to . room
bearing the unlucky number u.s. 1t was
learned from the guest that he had landed
in Baltimore during the day from
ship on which he had come over from Ger
many. Two friends also stopped at the hotel
and they were going to get situations today
His trade was that OF q tailor and he had left a
wife and i've children on the other side Of the
Atlantic, thinking he could better
himself in this country and would
then send for his family TO Join him.
The guest retired at an early hour and had
made arrangements to 60 out with his friends
this morning and get employment When
breakfast time came the two friends responded
to the ringing Of the bell, but Koch's absence
from the table caused feeling OF
unneasiness, and one Of the hotel en-
ployes went to the loom and knocked
on the door. He received no response, and
shortly afterward one Of them climbed over
the transom and discovered that the man was
guest was unconscious. Both the door and the
window were thrown open and a messenger was
dispatched for physician. DR.. Edwin Glad
mon first to reach the bedside Of the man,
whose life was fast ebbing away, and he ap-
piled restoratives, although the patients condi-
ton was such that but little hope Of his re-
covery was entertained at that time.
1t was remarked about the hotel that the I'M
fortunate man had blown out the gas and the
thought that the occupant Of the
room had closed the transom before retiring.
1t is most likely, however, that the affair was
due to defective gas arrangement. There was
no stop connected with the key. and the
stranger before retiring in putting out the
light had evidently turned the stop key all the
way around, letting on full flow of gas.

THE CASE OF BOULDING.
District Attorney Birney Denies That He
Was Kept in Jail at His Request.

DistHict AttoTuey DIruey DenleB Inot ne
Was Kept in Jail at His Request.
In the case Of Robert T. Boulding. who was
sentenced in the Criminal Court last December
to one year and day in the Albany peniten-
tiary for obtaining money under false pretenses,
and who was but lately transferred to the peni-
tertiary, District Attorney Birney has informed
the Attorney General that the statement that
Boulding had been detained in Jail as a reward
for services in connection with the Arnold muir
der case is without foundation. The district
attorney states that he is informed by the pris-
oner's attorney, Mr.. James H. Smith, that the
man was detained in jail at his instance and
upon the assent of the justice holding the Grim
inal Court, pending Boulding's application for
pardon
1t will be remembered that, as mentioned In
The STAR several days ago. President Cleve-
land. in denying Boulding's application for a
pardon. expressed his surprise that the pris-
oner should have been SO long detained in the
District Jail after being convicted and SEN
fenced. Bouldings sentence as is the general
rule, was to the effect that it would not COM
mence until upon his arrival at the penitentiary,
so that IN addition to the penltentiary sentence
he served some four months in jail.

were no mourners at the grave nor were there

city, il not in this country. He was without
funds and that is the only cause to be assigned
for his rash act. Perhaps in some foreign
place his parents and sisters and brothers re-
