SAVED OVER A MILLION.
Secretary Morton's Record For q Year Of
Economy.

secretary Morton's Record For . Year of
Economy.
The report of the secretary of agricul-
ture for 1895 has been submitted to the
president. 1t is a volume of "a printed
pages. devoting considerable space to
matters of meat inspection and to for
eign markets for American meat prod
ucts, including the inspection Of ami
mails for export trade. Among the items
of economy 1t shows that the $50, 900
appropriated by the Fifty-third congress
for the purchase and distribution of
seeds this year is entirely intact, and
consequently not drawn from the treas
ury of the United States.
The total amount remaining unex-
pended out Of the appropriations for the
years 1898, 1894, 1895 aggregates ST.
800, 900 available for return into the
treasury. OF this sum, however, ST..
100, 900 has been saved in 1894 and
1895 out Of appropriations slightly ex-
ceeding IS, 900, 900 for the two years.
The point is made that while the saving
Of 81, 300, 600 may attract but little com
m%endation, yet In the best counties in
the Union it would be difficult to find
1900 farmers who have together earned
and saved as much in the same time.
Farmers pay the most taxes on their
property" says the secretary, land are
especially interested in an economical
and judicious management Of the gov
eminent. Governments are born with
out money. and never get any except by
taxing their citizens. That tax is paid
for protection to property, life and lib,
orty, and no class can legitimately de,
mand the expenditure Of public funds
for any other purpose than that TO,
which they were taken from the people. >
1t also appears from the secretary't
report that the appropriation for the
department for 1895 was more thar
500, 900 less than the appropriation fol
1894, and yet it was 1913, 900 more thai
the amount estimated for by the depart
ment.-Washington Post.

Queer Antics Of a Candidate For Admis-

A. B. Bailey. a young man from
Helena, walked down State street, Chi
cago, at 8 O'Clock the other night with
his eyes tightly bandaged and wearing
his head an enormous straw hat trim
med with old ropes, onions and two de-
coy ducks. The crowd that followed the
fantastic figure grew SO large a police
man finally stepped up and said:
Look here, my man, are You crazy?'
"No," softly replied Mr.. Bailey.
"I'm not that kind Of a boy"
This did not satisfy the policeman
and he was about to take Bailey to the
station when four young men, who had
been walking on each side Of the blind
folded man, rushed up and said Bailey
was simply being initiated into the mys'
teries Of the Delta Sigma Delta frater
nifty Of the Chicago College Of Denta
Surgery.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Congressruan
Fletcher has been preparing a bill
which he will introduce in the house,
which provides for the location and es-
Enlistment of an armor plate and gun
factory in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Fletcher has been at work on
this bill for a long time, and he is con-
fdent hat the government contem-
plates the location and erection Of such
an institution.
Minnesota is ri III in iron ore, and be-
sides, the government is really DESTROYS
that the new gun factory should be To-
Gated further west and further from the
coasts. The bill appropriates 81, 500, 600
for the erection of suitable buildings
and the purchase Of proper machinery
necessary for the equipment Of the
plant. Mr.. Fletcher is very confident
of passing the bill, if the government
decides to erect a new plant within the
next year.

Scheme Of South Dakota Cattle Men to
Secure Water.
Sioux CITY, Ia, Feb. 8. The large
stockmen west Of Pierre, s. D., have
under consideration at present . plan
for watering dry ranges by throwing a
series Of dams across the gulches in To-
calities which have hitherto been with
out water during the drought seasons.
During the droughts of the past few
years the abandonment Of many ranges
whore the water supply depends on the
smaller streams, has been necessary.
As a result the ranges about the
water holes have been greatly
overcrowded. This has caused oonsid-
cradle loss and endless disputes among
rival cattle owners, and the situation
has at length grown so serious that
some remedy has become absolutely
necessary. BY damming the gulches
the surplus water supply Of the spring
and early summer will be saved, fur
nishing an ample supply during the re-
mainder Of the year.
