 MES SUGGEST A the government
 CREST. must accept the Reilly bill. There being some seventy million dollars involved and the con test seeming to have aroused the whole state of California, the magnitude of the controversy can be judged. It is stated on the street by New Workers who are in position to know that MT. Hunting ton will be able to command the sup port of the Empire state in his fight against the interests in opposition to him, but that seems a radical assertion, since it Is known that Huntington IS not personally popular with political magnates in New York. One rumor that has lately been attracting consid- erable attention is to the effect that Russell Sage has promised his aid to Huntington and that through Sage the metropolitan bankers will employ their influence in aid of the refunding bill. But in the face of this report is the fact that many bankers are hotly opposed to Huntington and the Pacific interests. It appears, fur thermore, that the New York delega- ton in congress has been sounded and that they are to man in favor of deal ing with this railroad debt matter in no lenient way so far as concerns Hunt ington. It is an odd circumstance that the origin of Huntingtons personal un- popularity which is said to be costing him powerful support in New York, is ascribed to the hauteur of his daughter shortly after her arrival with her prince of a husband. She looked down upon the ordinary financiers' families and in one case inflicted severe snub. The wom- on remember the occasion, and it is noteworthy that the influence now striving to undo Huntington is largely feminine. The contest promises to in- volve social as well as financial interests and to become one of the most famous episodes in our history. It is we'll known in society that Miss Huntington took great pride in the coat of arms that somebody contrived for her, and now the snubbed society contingent are whispering that the broom and pail and ax of Huntington's early days would be more appropriate. This is because of assertions that if Hunting ton loses his present fight he may have to begin life all over again.

 himself in his diet, in order to have complete control of himself and to main tain cool head. Some of his op- ponents have, it must be confessed, reason to follow his example. AS for Huntingtons resources, they are de- clared to be at present unlimited. One Wall street bank is believed to carry average balances to his credit of over million dollars, and his deals in New York have been uniformly successful lately. What ever there may be in the story that the vast resources of Russell Sage arc at his disposal, there can be no doubt that for over four years Mir. Huntington has been getting himself into shape for the great fight of his life this winter and spring. His agents are very busy. They are known to have approached every congressman in the eastern delegation and to have ar ranged with the railroad interests of the whole country for support if neces- sary. The success of these agents in some cases has caused Huntington to be popularly apotheosized as magician, working in the recesses of some wiz ards cavern, and it is not without req son that he. has been styled Gould's successor as the wizard of Wall street. There was meeting of financiers in- terested in Huntington's ventures the other day and he is said to have Te- ceiYed assurances of support from every magnate present but one. 1t remains to be seen what his opponents can ac- complish.

in the effect, we may conclude that for somebody through this general in- crease in the expenditures of the worlds governments. But who are these bene- ficiaries?
 The most practicable method of es- tablishing that would be to effect a reduction in the budget regardless of the representations of special in- terests. It usually happens that those interests which are most active In the lobby have greatest influence in the preparation of the budget. How comes it that the existence of this lobby is possible? That is, how can the special interests which maintain them afford the expense?
 Obviously, because their profits under the existing exercise of the taxing power are very ample. It is therefore certain that an interest which main- tains it's preeminence through the tax ing power of the government creating 1t must reap very great advantages. Did it not it could never maintain the vast and intricate system rendered es- beuJldl TOT IH0 piSSci'dIiOu oi itS Su- premacy.
 A consideration of these facts may make 1t more evident why govern mental expense accounts do not de- crease. Once new source of expendi- ture has been discovered, it becomes almost impossible to close it. There is sure to be some interest battling for it's retention, and there is, moreover, 8 certainty that other schemes are in contemplation, all clamorous for rep resentation on the fiscal list. There is something almost pathetic in the ex- pectations of one administration after another that the expense account must decrease with the year to come. The year comes, but an increase comes with it.
 It is difficult to suppose that some end will not speedily come to all this What will that end be? If 1t is permissible to hazard conjecture meant to apply generally, the outcome would seem to be mutual elimination by all govern ments of those taxes, which, when col lected, are employed entirely to neutralize one another. Of what avail are twenty battleships when a rival nation duplicates them? Skill? There is more than one skilled nation in the world.
 However, mere opinion can in no way solve the problem. It can scarcely even aid in a solution, since experience ac- cumulates so rapidly. The populations of the world are having a heavier weight to sustain as the years elapse. What will they do when the truth dawns upon them9
 It is perhaps unfortunate that this whole subject of governmental costli- ness is SO little observed. Nay, the fact that vast official system expends so many millions year affords positive pride to many of its citizens. Few re- fleet that while the burdens of such expenditure must be sustained by all directly, in a greater or less degree, the resulting benefits of a direct nature have to be, in the very nature of the case, reserved for the few.
 There is not, apparently, a miser among the governments of the earth, yet all are termed miserly by those who live under them. Surely that is very curious The day may not be distant when the nations will feel obliged by international agreement to reduce these expenditures which are only useful be- cause one country began them.

Three Kinds of Horse Power.

The difference between nominal, in- dicated and effective horse power often puzzles people. Nominal horse power is an assumed quantity, used for the convenience of makers and buyers in describing the dimensions of the en- zines. Indicated horse power is the amount shown by computations of the indicator diagram. Effective, or actual, horse power is the work an engine can do, or the difference between the indi- cated horse power and the horse power required to drive the engine when un- loaded

Particularly is this the case in Italy, where Rome has the largest and wealthiest American col ony of any city in the world. Rome, too, is the city in which the American colony is pcrpetually in dissensions of one kind and another. These dissensions were positive wars at the time of Will liam Waldorf Astor'si ministry there.
 The cause of the general home com ing is said to be sudden change in the fashion of living away from one's own country. This movement first affected the Russians and finally worked it's way through nationalities until any family long expatriated became posi- lively an object of suspicion. Hence many Americans of wealth have been obliged to announce a temporary re- turn to their native land out of sheer necessity to maintain their social posi- tionl Many and strange will be the new faces in New York. Philadelphia, Boston and the southern cities.
 The dread of those who know of these impending home comings is that the Americans from foreign lands will look down upon their stay-at-home neigh bors, like the half American young woman who invaded the reading cir cle at Boston and hurled all its books scornfully to the floor, declaring that she would show society how they got rid of time in "Yewrup." That young woman is but one of numerous class.

Thirty-six tons of caterpillars and Q large number of cocoons were destroyed in the effort to drive the pests from the young plantations of trees on Hong Kong island. They app cared on the pine trees with which the government is trying to reafforest the island, and lasted for two months. Stations were established where the caterpiliars were received and paid for by weight; this method seems to have been successful. It is estimated that 35,O00, 900 insects were killed.

DYSPEPSIA The Chief CAUSE OF
CONSUMPTION.
FACTS WITH WHICH FEW ARE FAMILIAR.

Dyspepsia or ordinary indigestion is seldom
regarded as a dangerous disease, yet doctors
now realize that any disturbance of the
digestive function is but stepping stone to
the most dangerous and fatal of all diseases
dread consumption.
This appears very clear when we consider
that consumption, as the name implies, is
but consuming Of the bOdy's substance.
Weakness and emaciation naturally result.
The body of person who does not prop
erly digest food undergOes wasting, and you
may safely assume that every pale, thin
person Of your acquaintance is not properly
digesting and absorbing food In other
words, the substance of the body is being
consumed and when the cough puts in an
appearance they will be regarded as con
sumptives
The symptoms of consumption and those
arising from certain forms of indigestion are
practical identical Therefore don't despair
even if you think your lungs may be affected
First try to repair your stomach and put il in
order This is best done by very harmless
though very ingenious remedy-the Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
This product, prepared by the Shakers OF
Mount Lebanon, aids the digestion of food in
the stomach, and when food is once digested,
it is quickly absorbed
If you are dyspeptic, don't wait until some
more dangerous disease has appeared Cor
rect the trouble at once.
A single 10 cent bottle of the Shaker
Digestive Cordial will be sufficient to con
vince you of its merit and its continued use
is almost certain TO effect a cure. All drug
gists keep it and can supply you with an
interesting descriptive pamphlet.

GREAT interest was excited in official
circles at Washington by the publication in
the Washington Post of a statement to the
effect that the Russian government has
offered to lend the United States any amount
of gold up to SlOO OOO, 900, one-half ofits total
possessions in this specie, in order to main
tain its credit against assaults from the great
money powers of other European nations,
and that learning of this tender, the Roths-
childs, through Messrs Belmont and Morgan,
have made oyertures to let the United States
have any amount of gold needed. The
tender was not influenced, it is said, by the
Venezuelan complications, but the oher was
made two years ago, and it still holds good,

Girls Right Fatal Duel for Love.

PUNTA GORDA, Fla, Dec. 27.-Ella Scott
and Lena Thomas fought desperately with
pistol and dagger over Henry Cassidy,
whom both loved. The former is dead and
the latter is probably fatally injured.
Each was horribly mutilated. Cassidy had
been attentive to both of the girls, and
each was jealous of the other The
Thomas girl and Cassidy quarreled about
ten days ago, and since then he had been
more devoted to the other one. The for

THE enforcement of the resolution debarr-
ing all children from attendance at school
who are not yaccinated, has caused a decrease
in certain grades that should not be. The
action of the School Board was right and
proper, as is generally acknowledged, and in
enforcing the resolution the members only
carried out instructions from the State Board
Of Health. 1t is to be regretted that so many
parents allow their children to remain at
home because of a failure to be vaccinated,
and thus deprive them of the education they
are entitled to.
