THIS ISA Big COUNTRY
And It's Expenses Are Enor-
nous.
A FEW APPROPRIATION BILLS.
No Wonder Uncle Sam Feels Poor--some
Things the People Are Called Upon to
Pay Literally For-Not Much Money 10
Wasted Either.

WASHINGTON, April ESPECIAL. Ill
you want to get an idea of tho yastness OF
this country, consult some of the appro-
priation bills recently passed by congress.
Take, for example, the sundry civil bill,
measure In which appropriations for all
sorts of purposes not otherwise classified
are dumped, as its title would indicate
Some of the items I'm this bill will give the
reader an idea Of the vastness of the coun-
try and also Of the almost endless respon-
sibilities OF the government. For instance,
here Is an appropriation of si9,5O0 for re-
lief of the native inhabitants of Alaska,
the poor children of nature, who would
starve II Uncle Sam did not help them
out. Besides this we spend $50, 600 year
for educating those natives and so,OOO IN
the experiment of raising reindeer for their
use. One of the surprising items OF the
bill Is S577, 900 for artificial limbs and ap-
pliances for disabled soldiers. The appro-
priation for this purpose last year was only
81 80, 900, but Chairman Cannon OF the APP
preparation committee of the house ex
plains that the manned veterans are en-
titled TO renewal of their artificial limbs
every third year, and that this Is the year
when most of them get new Quilt
The Janitor Business.
II must be u pretty big country In which
1t costs 1910, COO n year to pay the salaries
of the custodians and ianitors of public
buildings. No wonder Uncle Sam Is poor
when no is in the janitor business to that
extent Why, IL costs ESQ, 600 year 70
keep the public parks and grounds In this
city in good trim, and none of the money
| Is wasted either. This Is exclusive of the
| capitol grounds, which take Sl2 600 more.
| To light the capitol one year costs s2l, OOO
| and to keep 1t In repair $4,000. The
| White House Is almost as expensive Its
"oxpensos'' are put down at $780, a
| year and lighting at SIS, 900.
| Uncle Sam spends n good deal OF his
| money for printing and engraving. The
| appropriation for the coming fiscal year
| for engraving and printing, which means
| for tho manufacture OF money, securities,
revenue stamps, etc., Is 81, 100000. In ad
| dition to this 1t costs considerably more
| than 81 900 a week for the distinctive
| paper used for the printing of government
securities. For public printing and bind
| Ing, which means the government printing
Office, the appropriation Is 50, 1000 OF
| SO, 600 for every working day.
1t costs the government sl25, 600 yea
to enforce the Chinese exclusion act ant
500, 900 to enforce the alien contract labo

Odds On Candidates.

A political gambling concern in
Chicago which offers odds on the
Presidential nominations of the two
great parties, have sent out a circular
concerning the standing Of the vari-
Gus possible candidates and offers to
take bets according to quotations
contained in the circular. They
have settled upon Mckinley and
Reed among the Republicans and
Whitney and Olney in the Democ-
racy as having the best chances and
offers % to l on Mckinley, 3 to ] on
Reed, 3 to l on Whitney and 8 to |
on Olney. They will give to | on
Allison, to | if Morton gets the
cake, and Is to that Aleer will not
get it. If you choose Davis or Gull
lom you get 800 for every 81 you
put up, and BEN amin Harrison S
chances are not regarded as good or
they would not give $50 to 81 on
him. Lincoln and Foraker are held
at 80 to l, and Chauncey Depew at
SO to l, which is playing it pretty
low on "the peach" They will give
40 for your ! on John Sherman, and
have put Quay, Maderson and Eds
E0 nlacc (,nU
Bradley, of Kentucky, Elkins, Haw-
lev, Spooner and Proctor are re-
garded as "skates" and the odds are
100 to that they will not win. Of
the second raters on the Democratic
course Horizontal Bill Morrison
stands first, rs ) to | will be given if
he is nominated, but Carlisle is close
with 6 to |, and Grover Cleveland,
notwithstanding his reticence on
third term matters, is next at s to
David B. Hill and Vice President
Stevenson are put up at 10 to /, and
Ex-Governor Pattison at 25 to l..
The Governors, Campbell, Russell
and Boies are quoted at 80 to |, and
Senator German. who is not on good
terms with anybody particular now>
days, is so to shot. Chief Justice
Fuller, Postmaster General Wilson,
Secretary Morton and General John
Nj. Palmer are in the ruck of selling
platers and 60 at 100 to l. 1t is not
likely that the dead game sports in
Chicago will get any Eastern farm
ers to bet with them, for the reason
that the game is too risky, but theil
circular is interesting as showing
how the chances for the Presidential
candidacy are regarded in the Windy
City.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

The Hole in the Ballot Law.

The question regarding the right
of citizen representing that he is
unable to mark his own ballot to
have assistance was raised before the
courts in New York city, where the
provisions of the ballot law are not
materially different in this respect
from those in this State. The mat
ter is one Of very general interest,
since the Australian system is now
SO largely in use.
A special election Tor member of
the Legislature was to be held in
one of the city districts and II citizen
had applied for writ to restrain
the inspectors of election from allow.
ing any illiterate voter to have an
assistant accompany him into the
booth to aid in marking his ballot.
The ground upon which this man
damus was applied for is that the
provision of the election law permit.
ting these assistants is unconstitus
ticnal because it destroys the secrecy
of the ballot. The real reason, how
ever, is most likely very different.
If the point raised could be sustained
it. would relieve the ballot system of
one of the features that has been
greatly abused, but the New York
court refused the writ.
The actual objection is not that
it destroys the secrecy of the ballot,
but that it facilitates the work of
bribery. 1t was regarded as one of
the advantages of the new system
that the voter could mark and cast
his ballot without any one knowing
how he had voted. The old system
under which the voter was handed
ballot of one party only as he came
to the polls. and was in sight all the
time until he had voted practically
enabled the watchers and workers
to know for whom ballot had been
cast If man had been paid for
his vote the man who bought it
could stand by and see that the

contract. Uuder the new system,
where he could GO alone into the
booth to mark his ballot, no one
could tell how he would vote. If he
were dishonest enough to take money
for his vote it was naturally suspect
ed he would be dishonest enough to
cheat in the end.
But it did not take the smart
tricksters long to find place in the
law that would be very useful to
them. They began to insist when
they had bought vote that the
voter should ask to have some one
assist in marking his ballot and that
gave the bribe-giver a chance to 60
along and see that the bribe-taker
fulfilled his part of the dicker. If
the purchased voter demurred or re.
fused to ask for assistance it would
be suspected that he did not intend
to play fair with his purchaser and
the deal would likely by off. 1t has
been shown in more than one cleo
tion contest in this State that so
called assistants were permitted to
be taken into the booths by men
who were perfectly well known to
the election board to be entirely
competent to mark their own ballots.
The proceedings in New York
show that the abuse is not singular
to Pennsylvania and that it is likely
TO attract enough attention to COM
pei some change, There can be no
doubt that it will be one of the live
reforms before the next Legislature
and there will not be q more impor-
tant one to be considered.

The greatest rlaco for Boys.

To me 1t looks plum natural and
right for Aunt Liza to OF passed away
from amongst the shiftin scenes OF this
vain and fieetin world without any pain
and sufferin, and without havin any
thing in particlar the matter with her.
She was most in generally always well
both in mind and body-in good health
and spirits-and she made everybody
around her feel the same sort OF blessins.
The greatest place for boys anywheres
in the Panther Creek country was "over
to old Aunt Liza's," as we youngsters
use to say. She was liviu then where
she always lived and where she died, at
the old Raiborn place on the jackson
Trail road over on the other side OF
Panther Creek. Aunt Liza never did
have any folks that ! can remember OF,
but have heard my grandfather say
that oncst upon time there was big

brothers had all got killed OF in big

Aunt Ilna she Is pcn !.

Right in the middle OF tue SnrlSehas
and New Year publications We heard
some sad and terrible news from down
in the old Panther Creek Settlement.
Aunt Liza Raiborn she is dead and
gone. She died about L. o'clock on the
night before New Year 1t would seem
like as IL there was general closin out
over to Aunt LAS house that night
the close of the day, tho close OF the
month, the close of the year, and the
close Of long and useful and busy and
beautiful life. For common thing 1T
takes heap to make me solemcholy
and put me on the mourner's bench.
Mother maintains that wouldn't look
serious If | was tarrcd and feathered
and set on fire mile from water But
| have been creepin around and mopin
and droopin right sharp little bit ever
since VIC got the bad news from down in
tho old settlement. Not to say that
am tho least ways in trouble as to
where Aunt l. "a went, or how she Is
comm on these days, but mostly on &C
count OF how they'll miss her around In
the settlement. So far as ! know she
didn't have nothin in particlar to make
ner want to linger any longer around
down here balow. All of her own foiks
lad went on ahead years and years ago,
and for a long time she had jest simply
been "foolin along and piddlin about
as she we're wont to put it, and "waitin
for tho cat to die" And yet at the
same time Aunt Liza had her place in
| this word-not big place or high
| place to be certainly, but bright place
and her right place-and she flied II
clean out to the edges.
So WILTSHIRE fddlin and feastin, and
frolicn and dancin, and weddins and
ouiltins, and house raisins and log
rollins, and shindiggin and foot slingin'
went on as usual, if not more so, have
been layin around home considerable
and keepin up a tremendous big pile O.
| thinkin.
/ reckon Aunt Liza Raiborn must o
| been knockin along tolerable clost to
/ hundred years old before she was gath
cred up to her fathers. / am no sprinI
chicken myself, and there amt no colt
teeth in my mouth to speak OF, but /
has been ''old Aunt Liza" from wa.
back yonder as far as my remembrance
runs. So far as VIC can hear tell
there want any thing particlar the mat
ter with Aunt Liza when she died
From the general appearments, an
from what tho neighbors say, 1T look
like as If she had jest simply lived he
life out AMI then fell to sleep-sorte
dried up on the stem and blowed away
as it were.
When first como to know Aunt Liz
rale we'll she was Twin there on the oil
place and runnin it as best she could
single-handod and alone. Tho neigl
bors would call by and drop in now an
then, first one and then another, to sc
that she didn't git sick and Lonesome
md there want day or night tn;
come but what somebody was there
! pass the time with her.
