AS the N. Y. journal of Commerce
says, SO long as the revenue can be OBJ
tanned with reasonable ease we may
expect that the cost of carrying on the
Government will be increased from
year to year, whichever party is in
control of Congress. with occasional ac-
cessions of economy, which will not last
long. But at a time when business is
very much depressed and the revenues
are abnormally cut down, Congress
with proper sense of its responsible
ties would have reduced the appropria-
lions to their lowest limit by postpon-
ing till better times expenditures not
necessary to keep the wheels of gov
ernment revolving. This Congress,
however, appropriated about 37,000,-
900 for rivers and harbors, for new men
of-war and for forts, all of which could
very we'll wait till another year. In
deed the amounts carried by these
three bills for the approaching fiscal
year will come to nearer $40, 900, 900. and
they commit the Government through
contracts which may now be entered
into to for greater sum within the
next few years. This is most reprehen-
sible extravaganza under the present
circumstances, even though it might
all be justifable at some other time and
with surplus revenue.

BROKEN WING.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says, s'every man conducts himself and
his affairs on the assumption that so
far as the immediate future is concern
ed he is going to live and keep his
health and make something out of his
business. In other words, there is a
certain amount of optimism that is
fundamental and essential. It is inter
rupted from time to time, but only
temporarily. This fundamental Opt
mism in the community at large has
been checked of late by the fact that
political parties are about to hold
conventions and nominate candidates
and avow policies which may injuri-
ously affect business. But this is
temporary. After the conventions are
held the universal confidence that
things are going to move ahead will
reassert itself. Men will feel that one
or both of the conventions might have
done worse; they will hope for good
Secretary of the Treasury and for sat
isfactory results in the Congressional
elections, and they will feel again the
old confidence in the regular recur-
renee of seed time and harvest and the
of sunshine and rain, and
the mere fact that the conventions are
over and the worst is known will be |
something of gain. We do not say
that the adoption of the Ohio plat
form at st. Louis would create very
great confidence in the future, or even
that the adoption OF the Indiana plat
form is all that the business interests |
of the country require. but after the
have done their work the
political situation will be less depress-
ing than it is just now. and Wall
street will not tremble so violently at |
the mere whisper of war.

Another Kenosha Wedding. nv,

Bigamy was charged Friday against
John Conrovd, % years old, in Justice
Chott's court, Chicago. Hattie Con-
rovd, 10 years old, the first wife, ex-
planned that she married John three
years ago in Kenosha. They went to
Chicago and live together until year
ago, when he left her. She says she
has positive knowledge that her hus-
band during his stay away from her
married another woman in Milwaukee.
Conrovd explains his second marriage
by saying that he was informed that
his first marriage was illegal, owing to
the fact that both he and his first wife
were under age when the ceremony
took place. Justice Chott continued
the case to Feb. %.
