debt can be shown with approx
mate accuracy. A fair average
upon it is.thought to be 6 per cent.
Therefore, the annual outgo for
interest, upon the sum total of all
our debts, is 81, 800, 100000.
The estimated value of all the
property in the Union is so, O,OOO,-
600, 900.
1t is increasing at the rate of 4
per cent per annum.
Therefore the yearly income, to
be set off against the yearly outgo,
is So, 800. 900, 900.
We thus have a surplus of ST.
900, 200, 900 to our credit.
But we must subtract the cost
of gOverningrthe United States,
and of each one of the separate
states andsterritories, and of each
county, and of each city in the
Union.
The cost of governing the Uni
ted States is $500, 900 900 per year.
So there goes half our surplus
at one dip.
Then comes the cost of govern
ing each state in the Union. Geor-
gia costs about $4,000, 900, but
New York costs about $40, 200, 900:
therefore we must strike an aver
age. Let us say that 10000, 900
for each of the A states is about
correct.
That will absorb $780, 900, 900 of
our surplus, leaving only $50, ,OOO,-
600.
The government of New York
city alone, under Democratic rule,
costs $40, 100000.
Subtract this, and we have $780,
100000 left-just about enough
to govern Chicago with, if ''rigid
economy" does not hit her too hard.
Thus we have exhausted our in
come and we still have some 4 1000
counties to govern, and about 1.-THE
same number of cities and large
towns.
Where is the money to come
from to meet the shortages
We must. borrow it. Borrow it
howl
Issue bonds.
And that's the reason why every
state, every city, and nearly every
county and town is plastered over
with bonds:-the outgo was great
er than the income, and they bor-
rowed the money to keep going.
This mountain of debts keeps
growing higher and higher.
The gap between income and
outgo widens every year.
The appalling deficit in the ma
tional treasury, state treasury,
city treasury and private treasury
grows larger every year.
The situation challenges the most |
profound attention, and the most |
patriotic and speedy treatment.
What do the Populists propose!
Cut down your expenses, lessen
your outgo, quit wasting millions
on battle ships we don't need, quit
throwing away SO many millions
on River and Harbor contractors,
quit prostituting the credit of the
to spectators and use
it directly for the benefit of all the
people, create more currency so
that prices will rise and our income
increase, give us as much money
rs there was in circulation when
our debts were made, 50 that we
,an pay them with the same amount
IF produce they would have re-
luired when the debts were made.
Thus by cutting down the outgo,
md building up the income, we
an in the course of q few years
make buckle aud tongue meet
again, and all will be well-and in
ustice done to no living creature.
But what do the money Kings

In the case of the state against Van
VIiet, on petition for an injunction,
filed by Mr.. Preston, and argued bef re
Judge Ryan by Mr.. Preston, Mr.. Bolton,
City Solicitor Williams and Judge Seev-
ers, the court held that he had judicial
knowledge that the mulct law was a
part of the law OF the state of Iowa;
that he had the right to presume that
the provisions of the mulct law had
been complied with by the defendant
in the city, and that it was necessary for
the plaintiff to allege in his petition
how the defendant had violated the
present law, and that he must prove the
same by competent evidence. The
plaintiff having failed to allege in his
petition in what manner the mulct law
had been violated by defendant, the de-
murrer to the petition was sustained,
and plaintiff, failing to answer, the case
was dismissed with costs taxed up to
the county. This is the first decision
by district court judge in Iowa on

The p. E. O's. Entertainment.

The ladies of the P. E. o. gave very
pretty entertainment at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Ferrall on east A

with the ease and grace of an exper-
fenced actor. DR.. Besudry, E. L
ShinkIe, 1. o. Mcmahon and Chss.
Walters had prominent parts and did
their work in most creditable way. Fol-
lowing the play Messrs. Chas. Walters
and 1. o. Mcmahon gave statuesque
postures of "Cain and Abel" under the
direction of E. l.. Shinkle. The work
was very clever and won the hearty
plaudits of the guests. The program
was interspersed with local and 1nstru-
mental numbers by Mrs. Chss. Cowgirl,
Misses Carrie Loring and Kate Redman.
The program was followed by very
pleasant social in which all were in

of being at the head of the list as en-
tertainers.

The Ordination Services.

Tuesday was a red letter day in the
history of the First Baptist church of
this city, for an event of extraordinary
interest took place. The council called
for the purpose of examining Rev.
Frank L. Rozelle, after searching and
thorough examination which lasted
nearly two hours, unanimously decided
to ordain him. The ordination took
place in the evening. A very large
congregation was present and many
prominent ministers of the denomina-
tion took part. The place of honor on
the program was given to Rev. Robert
n. Martin, of Belleville, Kansas, the
former pastor of the church, who
preached the sermon. He was given
the compliment of the closest attention
which the sermon merited. 1t was a
simple yet forceful discourse, given from
the fullness of the reverend gentlemsn's
heart, and there was not a person in the
church who was not impressed by the
pastor earnestness and fervor.
Rev. w. Stonsker offered the Ordina-
tion prayer, assisted in the laying on of
hands by Reys. Cornelius and Curtis.
The charge to the church was given by
Rev. J. NJ. Jones, of Columbus City and
the charge to the pastor by Rev. E. P.
Bartlett, of Des Moines, secretary of
the Baptist State convention. Rev. G..
E. Farr, of Pella, gave the hand of fell
lowship, and Rev. Rozelle then pro-
nounced the bened1ction.
The following composed the council:
ReYs. r. N. Martin, E. B. Bartlett, j.
M. Jones, III. Williams, j. Cornelius,
G. E. Farr, w. Stonsker, w. II. Curtis,
j. ID. Burr, w. r. Walton, Richards,
Willard and johnson, besides the fol-
lowing lsymen, Messrs. w. I. Harper,
Morgan Jones, John Perry, A. 2. Min
tonge, j. Pickerell, J. A. Coffin. j. NJ.
Moore, j. L. Nelson and Mrs. Golden,
Mrs. Pickerell and Mrs. Mintonge.
Rev. Rozelle passed thevery thorough
examination with great credit to him
self and his church and the national
which his work as an evan.
gelist has given him was fully justified.
