tionists. All the speeches paid tribute

THE PEOPLE TO BLAME.
Their stupidity Prevents Stamping

New Orleans. Oct. I2.-From the re-

But the people who must suffer from a

of the board of health is beset with
difficulties. ii there was strict COM

report was made of cases, the fever
germs would quickly be wiped out. But

OUR FINANCES.
synopsis of Annual Report 80 the
United states Treasurer.


Washington, Oct. l2.-The annual re-
port of the treasurer of the United
States will show that on june 30, 1896,
the total available assets of the treas
ury were $s55, 1855 1921 and on June 30,
1897, they had increased to SS74, 764, 377.
OF these sums S30S, 1854, AS was available
on June 30, 1896 and $3.50, 295, 424 on
June 30. 1897, for the strictly fiscal oper-
atoms of the government. On June 30,
1896, S547 .33O,973 and on June 30, 1897,
1891 ,46S ,o53 was held on deposit against
outstanding certificates and treasury
notes. In addition to the net ordinary
revenues, the treasury received SIS, 44S,
go in deposits for the retirement of
national bank notes and $3,25O in re-
funding certificates for conversion into
bonds, so that the total income avail
able for the fiscal operations of the year
was 1868, 173, 925. As against this there
was disbursed besides the ordinary ex-
penditures the sum of S11 ,37s .502 on ac-
count of bonds and fractional currency.
and the further sum of S11 ,092 .355 in the
retirement of national bank notes. max
ing a total of S3SS. 245.017 The ret loss
of available cash arising from these
operations, therefore, was S25,07l ,091.
In the issue of paper currency. the oper-
atoms of the year, which amounted to
1874, S4s, 900, were exceeded in only one
year-1s92-and then by only narrow
margin. The redemptions, amounting
10 $3.50, 71O.020, were also relatively
higher. The presentation of national
oank notes for redemption increased to
such proportions as to oyertaX the ca
pacity of the force employed in count
ing and asserting, and required cousid-
cradle advances to be made out of the
general funds of the treasury. BY an
increase of the force, however, the ar
rearage of work was brought up before
the close of the year.

Washington, Oct. o. = The post office
department has adopted a policy of
general extension of the money order
system. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath believes that any post
office wanting money order facilities
should be given them. Complaints have
been constantly filed by business houses
that their correspondents at villages
are unable to send money orders be-
cause their post offices have no such ia
cilities. During the past fiscal year
almost 27,OO0,OO0 money orders were
issued, amounting to little less than
5000, 100000. The total number of
money order offices in operation is about
$4,000, and the number probably will be
increased to 10000 by the next fiscal
year
