PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.

This list of disbursements, as
proven by recent statistics on the
subject, shows some interesting
items and demonstrates that the
largest expenditures of the people
of the United States are for char
tiles, amounting in 1890 to $l46,
895. 671. The second largest sum is
paid for education, $l45, 593, l15.
Omitting interest on the public
debt, the next item in amount is
for roads, sewers and bridges, S72,-
1862, 1923. The postal service cost
$66, 1000, 600, the army and militia
$35, 800, 900, and SIS, ia, ,403 was
paid for the support Of the navy
The cost of sustaining the police
in all the cities and towns of the
United States aggregated $24, ,0OO,
900, and the fire departments $16,.
100000. The judiciary system Of
the country cost $23,OOO,OOO; $12,-
600, 600 was paid for the support of
persons and reformatories; $l1, 900,
600 for lighting the streets Of the
cities and towns Of the United
States; $3.50, 294 was paid for pro-
-.
tecting the public health, So, 1852, ,697
for sustaining parks and public re-
sorts. 1t cost the United States
Government $6,6O8,O47 to support
the Indians, and $11, 737, 738 for the
improvement Of rivers and harbors.
The detailed reports from the sew
eral cities furnish some very inter-
esting comparisons, 1t cost every
man, woman and child in the Unit
ed States the sum Of $13l5 to main
tain the national, state and local
government in the year 1890. 1t is
curious fact that in the city OF
Chicago the cost comes close to the
average, the expenditure there for
maintaining the municipal govern.
ment being 1888 per capita of
population. The city government
of New York cost nearly twice as
much to maintain as that Of Chica-
90, the per capita being S23.56.

Hill on the list of supporters or to
create the impression that the bill
would have the support of a Demo-
cratic majority without Hills as
sistance, but it is considered proba-
BILE by those high in the councils of
the Maryland Senator that he had
the assurance that the bill would
have the support of Mr., Hill when
the final test came. Mr. Hill said
since his returni from New York
that he would not offer any opposi-
ton to the tariff features Of the
bill, which was takento mean that
while ne was still hikeconciled to
the income tax he was disposed to
accept the other parts of the bill
as the best obtainable and would
concentrate his opposition upon
the income tax. Members Of the
finance committee say this provis-
ion will be retained at all hazards,
and they are beginning to think
Mr.. Hill will accept the bill in the
end with this provision in a modi-
fed form. Mr.. Hill the other day
voted against laying the bill on the
table, but his vote was without
special significance, except that it
Indicated that the New York Sena-
tor thought the efforts to secure
tariff legislation ought not to be
abandoned, When asked if he cared
to say anything apropos of Senator
Germans speech, Mr. Hill replied
that he did not desire to talk about
it at all.

HOMINY AND HAPPINESS.

"Behold the average colored la
borer on a southern plantation,
said Hon. p. B. Winston, of Mime
sofa and Virginia. "How fat and
sleek he is; how his shining eyes and
smooth ebony skin reveal the ro-
bust physical man He is type of
perfect health, and to what does he
owe his superb condition? I'll tell
you in two words-corn bread.
There is the grandest food product
in the world, and all honor to the
noble American who is trying to
teach the old world people the var
ious delicious uses of corn, and the
many palatable ways it can be pre-
pared for the table.
1T it were not for corn don't see
how many of the poor people of
Virginia, white and black, would
exist. 1t is in reality the mainstay
of life in many localities of the old
State, But to really love corn
bread think one must be used to
it from childhood. Southern-born
men of the old regime commenced
gnawing on corn 'pones' when they
were babies. AS they grew older
the pone accompanied them on
every hunting and fishing expedi-
tion, and so, when maturity was
reached, corn in some form or other
was wanted at the table three
times a day. This fact will, ! think
initiate against any extensive use
of the cereal as food among the
people of Europe-they haven't
been used to it. 1t has always puzt
zled me that our people, outside o.
the south, fail to appreciate the
glories of maize In the great corn
growing states of the west it's use
is very limited, and the eastern
mind, 50 far as the corn is concern
ed, is a bowling wilderness" j"

ANTITRUST LAWS.
The Existing Law Unable to Reach
the Tugar Trust.

1t is reported from Washington,
that Representative Warner, of
New York, who secured the free
sugar amendment to the Wilson
tariff bill, says it will be futile to
attempt to strengthen the Sher-
antitrust law in order to make it
reach the Sugar trust and like
organizations. Attorney General
Olney's recent report to the Senate
stated that he had prosecuted the
sugar trust, but the case had been
decided against the government in
various lower courts, and was now
pending in the United States su-
preme court.
Speaking of the report, Mr..
Warner said; "It has been sug-
gested that Congress amend law so
as to give the attorney general
greater power and overcome the
objections of the courts, This was
the plan with the view Of institute
ing a general crusade against
trusts. l advised against any
amendment of the law, as | think it
would amount to nothing
1T is absolutely impossible to so
form an antitrust law as to antici-
pate all the devious ways Of trade
combinations. You can readily
make your laws strong enough to
deal with trusts now formed, but as
soon as the law is made the trusts
will change their plan of organiza-
tion so as to take them just out
side of the pale of the law. More
over it will be difficult to amend the
trust law to meet the decision of
the courts, for those decisions turn
mainly on the question Of fact.
They hold the law is aimed against
monopolies formed in restraint of
trade, but that showing the sugar
trust is combined to control the
market is not such a showing of
fact as would bring the concern
within the terms of the law in ex-
istence, it is useless to pass anti
trust amendments, as the trusts
would reorganize to meet them"

A Pleasant Affair.

The guests who attended Mr.. and
Mrs, f, w. OlTenhauser's pleasant
card party on last evening were
charmingly entertained. The pres
ence of the guests of honor, Mrs.
Kirchgraber and Miss Offenhauser,
impaired an increased degree of

er's already proverbial hospitality.
Progressive euchre was the eve

noticeably pretty and chaste, and

this came well rendered recita-
tion by Miss Irwin Of New Orleans;
the subdued vibrations of beautiful
vocal selections from the Misses
Hynson and Mr.. Goss we're caught
up in mandolin duet by the Messrs.
Offenhauser, finally surmounted by
an endless and joyous chatter, which
gave evidence of what a good time
every one was having. Around the

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
The Senate Makes But Little Progress
on the Tariff Measure.

Yesterdays report of the prev
ious days proceedings in the Sen
ate, announces that the session was
opened by Senator Kyle, who urged
very sforcibly the passage of his res
olution, declaring that it was not
the purpose of the United States to
use force to restore Lilioukalani as
Queen of the Hawaiian Islands, and
that any foreign interference with
those islands would be regarded as
an act of hostility to the United
States.
Mr.. Daniels objected to action on
the resolution until the resolution
on the same subject reported by
the Foreign affairs committee had
first been acted upon. Mr.. Frye
advocated the passage of this or
similar resolution, saying that he
had information from two RESPONSE
bic persons to the effect that the
moment the Senat eacted the Queen
would resign all pretense to the
throne and accept a money compen-
sation therefor This being the
condition on the islands, in the
name of humanity, he appealed to
the Senate to pass this or similar
resolutions.
At this point the hour of 1870
arrived. The resolution went over
and the tariff bill was taken up.
Mr.. Hale led off with a sarcastic
comment on Mr.. Gorman's speech
of yesterday, saying that the Sen
ator from Maryland had emerged
from his seclusion just at the time
when his party stood discredited,
it's ranks broken, its coherency of
action lost, and an indignant peo-
pie showing their .distrust, the
newspapers piling up denunciation
after denunciation and with a pan
ic imminent on his own side Of the
chamber.
The bill, as it now stood, Mr..
Hale said, had no responsible pa.
rents. 1t was political bastard.
1t was the result of the intercourse
of those who had abandoned party
principle with the easy virtue of a
few protected industries and the
habitual prostitution of the trusts.
It had its origin in the back room
af a New York Office.
The Aldrich amendment to in
crease the duty on tin plate to / IL
cents per pound was laid on the ta-
ble-36 to 26. The Jones tin plate
amendment was then adopted, fix
ing the duty at 1 is cents, as was
also the Jones amendment grading
the duty on steel ingots, blooms,
ETC., according to size, value, etc.
The surprise of the day was the
acceptance by the finance commit
tee of an amendment offered by Mr..
Allen, the Nebraska, Populist,
to place barbed wire on the free
list,

ARKANSAS COXEYITES.

News comes from Little Rock to-
day, to the effect that Arkansas
contingent of the Coxey movement
are planning for grand spectacu-
lar imitation of the entry of Coxey
and his army into Washington,
minus the police and their clubs,
which played SO CONSPICUOUS a part
in the first demonstration,
Instead, however, of marching to
Little Rock to petition the legisla-
ture next January, they propose
assembling there at their State con-
vention to be held July 10.
At the recent meeting of their
State Central Committee that body
recommended that each county
send eight delegates, and those that
have held no conventions do so not
later than July Z,
The committee further recon-
mends that, where practicable, the
delegations come in wagons and on
horseback, and bring as many 9th
ers along with them as possible,
and that routes be mapped out and
meetings be held along the road
every day. The principal routes

cessity, and as soon as Congress ap-
preciates the fact that the future
of the Nicarauguan canal is assur-
ed.
Some criticism has been leveled
at the proposition to back up the
bonds and build the canal by means
of a corporation and the argument
is made that the government as a
government, should do the work.
The United States government can
not under its treaty with Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica enter upon this
work and exercise the power of SOW
reinty that would be necessary.
That power would only come with
conquest.
The concession to the Nicara-
guam Canal Co., however, chartered
by the United States, composed of
American citizens and indorsed and
supported by the financial power
and aid of the government, enables
us to build the canal with perfect
regard for our friendly treaty re-
lations, to control and protect it.
1t is an arrangement far more sat
isfactory and far more secure than
any the government as such could
enter into, The construction of
this great rhighway connecting
two oceans would be the crowning
work of the 10Th century"

HILLS POSITION ON THE TARIFF

ator Hills present attitude toward
the tariff bill. 1t would seem that
the assurance given by Senator
German in his speech before the
Senate, to the effect that the Dem
ocratSof that body were at last
fully united in support of the tariff
bill, had led to a renewal Of the
speculation as to the probable ac-
