girls father came down on the same
train they were TO take and when he
reached Delaplane, he was told they
were at Mr.. Shacklett's store. On his

halt they did so and Mr.. Simons cap
tured his daughter and returned home

their report to the caucus the steering
committee shall provide the order in
which the above subjects of legislation

expected at this session is the passage
of bill striking out the provision for
the payment of rebates on the internal
revenue tax on alcohol used in the arts.

a MAN is bound to come to grief
when his expenditures exceed his re-
ceipts. Az with q man, so with q
government. According to the Treas
ury report for the last fiscal year, the
government spent seventy million dol
lars more than it received, and that,
too, though nearly every thing the
people use is taxed. If this condition
shall continue much longer, financial
disaster must be the result. And yet,
thirty years after the close of the war,
the expenditures on account of pen
sions amount to one hundred and fifty
million a year. But, also like men,
governments must go their own gait.

A BILL has been introduced in Con-
gress to pay shipbuilders the amount
deducted from the price of their YES
sells for failing to comply with the terms
of the contract in respect of speed. So
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
paid as premiums for speed which YES
sells never make except on their trial
trips, and even the sum deducted from
their cost, in accordance with the con-
tract, for failing to make the required
speed, is to be made good. And all
this money is exacted from the people
by taxes on their necessaries, for the
sole benefit of a few rich shipbuilders.
