The Cost of Govern;no

II the per capita statistics of the
bureau OF the treasury show a re-
markable increase in the consuming
power of the people of this country in
the past thirty years, they also show
an equally marked increase in the
spending capacity of its congress. We
are not aware of any attempt ever hav-
Ing been made to determine the ratio
of population and cost of legitimate
governing, but it is quite apparent that
there is not necessarily an increase in
the cost of the latter proportionate to
increase in the former. A certain
amount OF machinery is essential to
any governing, quite regardless of the
number governed, and the head cost of
small organization might be greater
than one of larger numbers; but some
where there must be point where the
cost per capita should diminish rela
lively to the increase Of population. The
net ordinary expenditures Of the federal
government are classed under the
heads war, navy, Indians, pensions and
miscellaneous. In the census year 1910
these expenditures We're $1.41 per head
Of populations; in 1850 they were 81 81
and in 1860, $213. The average for the
three periods is $1.72. Except for the
expenses incurred during this time in
the war with Mexico the condition of
the country was normal but the notion
that this is a nation with a big NJ
had not possessed congresses.
Taking the average of that period
comparison of the expenses of govern
ing now and thirty years ago becomes
striking. In 1867 the expenses incident
to theWar Of the Rebe lion had not been
entirely stopped, 500, 900, O0G having been
spent on war and $31 ,0OO,O 900 on naval
account, the former falling to $37, O0O, 900

st. Vincents church, Blair street and

capacity last night to witness the dedi-
cation and blessing of the handsome
large statue of the Sacred Heart.

The statue itself is a handsome piece
Of artistic work made in Paris. and
was donated to the parish by Miss

Rev. Lawrence Cosgrove was cele-
brant last night and after the celebra-
ton of the Vesper service the Rev DR..
j. j. Keane, pastor Of the Immaculate
conception church, of MINNEAPOLIS
took charge. The psalms from the
Misereri were sung, and as Dr. Keane
prepared to bless and dedicate the
statue the choir sang the "Asperges. +"
which preceded the blessing
The regular choir last night was aug
mented by male quartette from the
Mozart club, composed Of p. V. Larsen

aehry Sohns, and a string quintette

Christ was followed by those of the

came an effort to build up the churches
or the Christians which made a better
social and Christian condition. This
was followed for some time by peace
and tranquility. Then came a siege of
revolution, and it finally became an age
such as the one in which they lived to
day, an intellectual one. He pictured
the difference between love Of the heart
and the passion of love, and suggested

and the latter to SIS, 100000 ten years
in 1867 were 1887, falling to 1921 in 1877.
But the coin value Of the paper money
in which these expenditures were paid
vas then III cents on the dollar, In
creasing by nearly third the cost. In
1877 the coin value Of paper had risen
to 94.7 cents, affecting cost proportion
ally. In 1879, when paper was at par
with coin the expenditures We're $5.46
per capita. From that year there was
gradual decline until 1886 when the
average touched the lowest point in the
thirty years, marking $4.15.
1t was in the campaign of 1888 that
we began to hear the economic gospel
of the orthodoxy Of dearness and the
keterodoxy of cheapness. Mr.. Harrison
then announced the doctrine that "a
cheap coat meant cheap man under
It," and Mr.. Mckinley declared that
cheap and nasty go together" This
spirit dominated their party, returned
to power in 1890, and we find the per
capita average Of expenditure mount
ing in response from $4.3S in 1889 to $5.73
in 1898, falling, under the change of
administration that year, to $4.94 in
1896, and rising to $500 in 1897 When
we come to analyze the expenditures We
find that a strikingly large proportion
is due to an abnormal cause, sourcing
in the Civil war and strangely, increas-
ing as that recedes into the past. In
1867 the per capita cost for pensions
was 81 cents, in 1893 it was $237.
Deducting this from the average that
year we have s2.57 as the average
head cost of strictly Ordinary" ex-
penditure, a sum but A cents above
the average Of 1860. Or, deducting the
pension charge of $194 per capita from
the $500 of total net ordinary expend-
iture in 1897, we have $308 as the cost,
still 50 cents above the average of 1860,
and $1.36 above the average of the
three census years 1840-'60.

From the New York Sun.
The new scheme of revenue was devised
with the most patriotic intentions and rhe
most CONSCIENTIOUS care as to details. The
best intelligence was applied to the task,
but the best human intelligence is defective.
The bill went into effect last July, and as
revenue producer it has failed to justify the
predictions of its authors and the expectations
of the country. Instead Of producing a sur
plus it has piled up a deficit. This deficit
is partly concealed by the method of book
keeping employed in the treasury statements,
but it exists all the same.
