sional positions, are being filed by
educated foreigners who work and
live cheap.
A Des Mbiues paper, Tho Leader,
gives tho following figures as to per
capita expenses:
We have not only added immense.
ly to the bulk of our Government
expenditures, but the per capita ex
penses of the Government has been
outrageously increased. In 1900 it
was 81 80; in 1910 it was only 75cts;
in 1920 it was S136; in 1880. S1.0l,
in 1910, $15l; in 1850, Sl.6O; in
1860, 1.91; in 1870 as a result of
payments on the war debt, s4.25; in
1880, $3.50, in 1890, SO IA; in 1895,
S5.R. Itis estimated that the per
manent and special appropriations
made by the Fifty fourth Congress
during the first session will entail
an expenditure of S515,si5,l94 or
the fiscal year ending June 1907.
Taking the present populption at
$4,000, 900, this is tnx of S7.l5 for
every man, woman and child In the
United States.
Yet, in spite of this showing, Con
gress has been called in special ses
sion, not to revise ways of reducing
Government expenditures, but to
provide for the levying of new taxos.
With the new revenues provided, ii
would not be surprising il tho pres
ent Congress should order expendl
lures of $1,000, 0OO, 900. or nearly ns
much to be spent in two years as it
cost the Government to exist dur
ing the first fifty years Of national
life.
One of the answers to what causes
hard times is found in tho Govern.
nent expense account. For the sup.
port of tho National Government
alone, to say nothing Of State, coun
ty and Municipal Government, about
one.tenth of the entire annual wealth
production is required-N. Y. Dis

We would like to look into the pleas
ant face of some ono who has never
had any derangement of the digestive
organs. We see the drawn and unliap-
py faces of dyspeptics in every walk of
life. 1t is our national disease, and
nearly all complaints spring from this
source. Remove tho stomach difficulty
and the work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale, thin people are
literally starving, because they don't
digesttheir food. Consumption never
develops in people of robust and nor
NAL digestion. Correct the wasting
and loss of flesh and we cure the de.
sease. Do this with food.

Chicago goes Democratic, aud it
appears as if everything else had
gone Democratic. The roseate
promises of the last campaign have
not materinlized; The advance agent
of prosperity seems to have left
prosperity behind him in his rapid
advancement; the increased forces of
men have not been employed, and
neither the mills or the mints have
been opened but to admit the asses
sors of bankrupt assignments. All
this is contrary to expectations, and
the great masses of the people have
put the stamp of their condemna
tiou upon tie impossible promises
OF the mendacious politicians. Things
are not what the people we're prom.
they should be and the people bave
registered their protest. The signs
of the times point to an upheaval
in the future and to the confined
life of the silver movement.-Fred

ANOTHER HEARING.
On Petition OF Trustees to Sell Part
OF A. D. Smith Estate.
Case Continued so Trustees Can Learn
the Desire Of Creditors.

The-Appellate Court considered this morn
ing the application Of II. M. Smith. surviving
trustee OF the estate Of Amos ID. Smith, for
permission 10 sell certain personal property.
The trustee had copy of his account in court
and is showed pressing demand for money
10 pay taxes and other expenses. Arnold
Greene, ESQ. represented Mr.. Smith and at
torneys II. Almy and J. T. Blodgett appeared
in behalf of certain creditors.
The latter claim that the real estate belong
ing to the Smith estate which is unproduc
tive, should be- sold before any personal prop
erty. The trustee thinks tho present a bad
time to throw any large block OF improved or
unimproved realty upon the market. After a
good many quesiionsjwcre asked and the court
had stated that its only purpose In directing
at former time that unimproved property
should be sold TO meet current expenses was
because such seemed to DO the desire OF credi'
tors, the hearing jeanne 20 an end In order
that the trustee might find out just,what the
creditors desired him to do.

Charged with Misconduct.

New Bedford, Mass. Feb. 1.-THE IL
cense commissioners, J. J. Howland +.
NJ. Sparrow and B. Il. Barney, returned
from Boston last night, after attending
a hearing at the state house on the bill
proposed by the board, which takes the
power of petitioning the superior court
for the removal of the members OF the
license board from the mayor and places
1t with any 10 citizens. Upon the arriv-
al Of the members OF the board in this
city, notices were served upon them
from Mayor Ashley, that steps would be
taken toward removing them from Of
fee, and preferring charges of miscon-
duct. The mayor charges that the men,
bers Of the board have suppressed the
records, and secreted them; that they
have neglected To obtain proof against
illegal liquor dealers, and have violated
the law In many respects. The mayor
also claims that Commissioner Barney
has violated the law in serving on the
board as Democrat. when he took part
In the Mckinley procession last fall and
voted for the Republican candidates.
The law provides that one of the MEM
bers of the board shall be a Democrat.
There is much excitement over the ac-
ton of the mayor.

ing tried and all 10 had to say was guilty or
not guilty.

ded, however. that his brother struck him

A NOVEL MOVE.
Counsel Agree on a State
ment of Facts.
In Case of DavignOn Against
Consolidated Road.
The Court Ruled II Could Not Hear
the Matter in Such Form.

Tho case of Joseph Davignon against
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
rsilrosd was brought before the Appellate
Court today on an agreed statement OF
fact and the court did not view the mat
ter as one that IL could hear In the nicely
arranged manner the counsel desired.
The plaintiff IL administrator on the
estate of Isaac Yale who was run over and
killed by a railroad car which backed
down on him while at work in the yard
at the Perkins Horse Shoe Works in Val
ley Falls in 1891. The suit is for $40. 600.
Henry w. Hayes, who is associated
with j. NJ. Ripley and John Henshaw in
the defense of the case, stated To the
court today that in the spring of 1892 q
suit was begun by the same administra-
tor for the death Of the same party
against the New York, Providence rail-
road company aud on trial OF the case
the jury brought In verdict for the
defendant. A petition for new trial it
argued to the court wss denied and
fepdant in the common pleas court IN
April 1893. In February 1895 the suit
now before the court was begun and Mr..
Hayes read to the court an agreement Of
counsel In the case after the defendant
had pleaded the former judgment by
which counsel were to ask the decision
of the court as to whether the plea of
former judgment was a good one or not.
Judge Tillinghast asked what provision
OF the statutes justified the bringing of
the case before the court in the present
manner.
Mr.. Hayes replied he knew OF none, but
Charles Il. German. " no was with Peter j..
Quinn of PawtucKet, counsel for the
plaintiff said that Mf. Ripley OF counsel
for the defendant, had suggested this way
of disposing of the case without first 60
ing through the expense OF jury trial.
. 1t was suggested by counsel that the
present statement was much similar to
that OF cases in which jury trials were
waived.
Chief Justice Matteson said he did not
see how the court could have anything to
do with the matter in its present shape,
and the matter wss stricken from the
calendar and must now take it's course in
the common pleas division.
