"Oh. heavens!" unused Limmer, as Mrs.
Crackle disappeared rapidly upstairs.

National Receipts and Expenditures.
From the Chicago News, Ind.

In 1882 the excess ofrevenues over the
expenditures of the Government was
S145, 543, SO, since which time there has
been growing decrease in the surplus
revenues; Notwithstanding the fact that
the total Treasury receipts have been very
we'll sustained.
This excess was larger than ii had been
any year since 1856, the total receipts Of
the Government being $403, 525, $50, but
in 1890, when the revenues were just
about the same as in 1882, the excess of
revenue was only S85, 040, 271. Since
1882 there has been decrease in the
amount of surplus revenues almost every
year. But while there have been some
fluctuations in the returns from customs,
varying from 1929, 668, 5S4 in 1890 to
$131, ,818, $50 in 1894, the internal reve-
nue. receipts have shown little change.
Sales of public lands fell off from Sll, =
2O2, OH in 1888 to 1864, 58l in 1897,
and the income from miscellaneous sources
shows an annual loss of about 81 900, 900.
On the other hand, the civil and mis-
cellaneous expenses of the Government
have nearly doubled, increasing from $57
219, $50 in 1882 to $103, 1872, 799 in
1898, but falling to $50, 40l ,267 in
1897. In the War Department there has
been practically no change in disburse
ments, but for the navy they have more
than doubled, being SIS, 900, 900 in 1882
and S34, sci, 600 in 1897. The support
of the Indian Bureau has largely increased,
being 50, 1856, 900 in 1882 and S13, 0lG, T.
600 in 1897. The Pension Department
has been the most severe in its demands
on the Treasury. In 1882 pensions cost
the Government SCI, 345, 1913, and with
the exception of three years since then,
there has been an increase until 1897,
when the expenditures in that department
reached $14l 053, 164 In one depart
ment only there has been decline in the
disbursements, and that is in interest on
the public debt, which fell off from 81
900, 900 in 1882 to S37, 791 900 in 1897,
although there has been some increase
since 1894. when the last bonds were sold.

A Fictitious Boom.
From the Baltimore Telegram.

From the Baltimore Telegram.
Things are booming is the cry from vari
Gus quarters. Big head lines in the news
papers announce heavy advance in wheat
and -four, and lots of money going into
the pockets of the farmers.
All this may seem delicious, but does it
mean the return of true and genuine
prosperity?
For the life of us we can't see where
great industrial interests are being bene-
fitted by the increased price of anything
Wages and salaries must be correspond
ingly increased, or laboring people are
bound to be placed in worst condition
than they were before.
OF the millions of people who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow, and have
for years past been compelled to work for
starvation wages, is their condition i'm
proved by the rise in breadstuffs, wOolens,
ETC.? OF course not. The boom in grain
means an increased expenditure for the
necessities of life, and until there is boom
in wages, Dragging about return of pros
perity is ridiculous.
Unless wages and salaries have cores
ponding increase with the rise in prices of
articles of consumption, the condition of
the laborer, who is now living from hand
to mouth, is infinitely worse than when
low prices prevailed The logic OF this is
SO plain that we feel almost ashamed to at
tempt its demonstration.
A man receives on an average six dollars
per week for the work of his hands, whether
at mining, bookkeeping or anything else,
recognized as manual labor Circumstan-
ces compel him to accept of such wages.
The lower he can purchase articles of con-
sumption and wear, the more easy his con-
dition and less grumbling. But if this
same man is required to pay double for
what he buys, wherein is he benefited By
the tide Of prosperity 2
1t may be all well enough to boast about
the doors Of bank vaults being unlocked,
the release of horded up money, the millions
of dollars going into the hands of the
farmers, and the growing confidence Of
capitalists But the truest signs of pros
perity will be seen when mill owners, cor
porations, merchants and others say to
their employees that they shall share in the
profits of production, and that their condi-
ton shall parallel the general improvement.
When this fact is demonstrated there
will be seen many more happy faces than
are now seen. As it is, the return of
prosperity turns to one side very large
class whose visions of advancement are
darker than they ever were before. Per-
haps this return to prosperity, is, after all,
illusionary.

The voters of Maryland are warned to
consider well before they give another lease
of power to the men who now dominate
this state Wiping out all the record
made at Annapolis, the conduct of these

WILD HORSES A NUISANCE,

Animals Commit Considerable DAM
age to Fences in Search of Water.
Many Indian horses are being killed
on the reservation by barbed wire
fences, says the Spokane Spokesman
Review. The degenerate horses, aban-
doned by their Indian owners, have be-
come an acknowledged nuisance upon
the public ranges. They roam about in
large herds and are as wild as antelopes.
Their watering places have been fenced
up, and it is hard to divert them from
the runways of a lifetime. Each herd
is led by a patriarch stallion, who holds
his command with a discipline that
would be credit to military tactics.
These. herds range ON the hills, far
from water, seeking the springs only
once or twice week. Their runs are
sometimes as far as ten. miles. The stall
lion drives the herd to water, following
in their flying wake and driving every
struggling beast with hoof and teeth,
pushing them at high rate of speed,
much after the manner of buffaloes-
Mad with thirst and blinded with dust,
they rush into the wire fences that cross
the old trails, the leaders being driven
with such force that Threats are cut
and legs are severed. but the fences 90
down and the herd proceeds over
plowed fields and growing crops. As
a result the reservation is covered with
dead and dying horses, every section re-
porting the same scene and allowing
the victims to fare as best they may.

No City Man Could Get Ahead OF
Him. 555z.
A typical farmer from the interior,
who had evidently come to the city to
spend soIze of the proceeds OF one dol.
lar wheat, walked cautiously into one
of the better-class hotels, says the De
troit Free Press, One of the bell boys
saw him weighted down with satche]
and coat and umbrella and, as was has
custom, dhrted toward the door to take
the visitors burdens and pilot him to
the clerks desk. He reached down to
grasp the satchel. Quick as a flash the
old mans right arm shot out with his
umbrella and just as Mr.. Bell Boy took
hold of the satchel the umbrella came
down on his back with whack.
'"Eake that, young fellow!" remarked
the visitor. "You can't grab things
away from me. I've heerd Nv how yew
fellers work it. Grab hand bag an
skip afore man has chance tew wink
But I fooled ye this time, gosh darn We!
Yew git out O. here right quick"
The old man raised his umbrella again
threateningly and the bell boy, much
discounted, slid toward his seat, while
the farmer once more cautiously ad-
vanced to the desk. The clerk reached
out warmly to grasp his prospective
guests hand. But it didn't grasp.
"Yonng man." said the old fellow
yew're trif1e previous, amt We? When
I git reddy tew shake, I'll let ye know
Yew don't know me, an T don't know
yew, yet. Jest keep THAT paw ter yer
self. There, now, gimme quill an I'll
show We who am"
He got the quill and registered, but
bell boys and clerks gave their guest
full right of way in either direction.
