fiscal year" were $50. .iS9 .954. while the
amount that was actually estimated
was $l3. .20S. 1893. The result was that
the total estimates In that year as they
went to congress obtained for river
and harbor improvement only the con-
densed item of $l3.20S .s93. instead OF
the elaborate estimate OF profitable
expenditures amounting to 52.4Ss.-
$50. This has been the annual Gus
tom for many years to put into the es-
Inmates simply the amount which in
the judgment of the war department
should be expended. This year. how
ever. the new law enacted by last con-
gress compels the secretary to put in
to the annual estimates the entire sum
named in these statements OF the
amount that can be profitably expend-
ed in the next fiscal year The re-
suit is that the sum ESTIMATED" for
the river and harbor works alone in
the next fiscal year is s65.ioo. .i0o.Sl.
while nobody expects that the appro-
priations will be more than one-third
OF this sum.
Since the figures OF the secretary Of
the treasury. including the s6o,4Oo.-
4O9.sl for river and harbor works, en-
ly estimate deficit of s21 CAT ,SS5, and
since 1t is absolutely certain that the
actual expenditures for rivers and
harbors will fall nearly or quite S4o.-
o0O 900 below the enforced estimate. 1t
is quite apparent that the actual ap-
preparations for the fiscal year will be

would appear. in the absence of the
explanation offered by this new re-
Quirement of the law.

Since protection Is ordained to stand
as our national policy for an indefinite
period, will our free trade contempo-
raries contend that the tailors and
other makers OF and dealers in gar

benefits of that policy than their fell
low-citizens engaged in other kinds Of
business? Is there any more reason
why A should bring in a years stock

srPvsL,cAn OPINION.

A good deal of distress has been felt
In the minds OF democratic editors for
the past few days over the fact that
the estimates of the treasury depart
ment sent to congress at the opening OF
the session indicate an apparent de-
ficit of SCI .647 .SS5 during the fiscal year
which ends June 30. 1899. II Is proper
TO say, with reference to this estimate.
that recently enacted law requires
the war department to put into its es,i-
mate for the expenditures of the cola
ing year all estimates made by subo:-
dinate officers of needed expenditures
upon the river and harbor works where
they are employed. The result OF this
is that the estimates for river and har-
Dor improvements alone amounted to
$65. 400, 10000, which. of course, is from
forty to fifty million dollars more than
VIII be appropriated for that purpose.
Notwithstanding the fact that these
figures were excessive. the treasury de-
partment was compelled under the law
to include them in its so-called estt-
mates. knowing full well they were
absolutely excessive. and that the ap-
preparation for this work would fall
probably s50,000,0ov below the figures
named. These circumstances account
for the fact that the official figures es-
innate an apparent deficit of s2l.OOo,-
900, when. in fact, it is expected that
there viii be a surplus of at least that
amount in the year in question.

they were sent.
There are four books written by a
Chinese woman. A. d. 25. They were
sent by the empress OF China. The
Chinese woman wrote about the man

commended obedience to husbands. Tho
emperor OF Japan sent 1876 books writ

are twelve modern Greek books sent
by Queen Olga.
There are books from Armenia. Per-

Presiden, Mckinley is still hopeful
of definite and valuable results from
the efforts in behalf of international
bimetallism which were inaugurated
by the Republican party Immediately
following his election. In his message
he discusses briefly the work of the
commission sent abroad for that pur-
pose. expresses qualification that our
great sister republic of France was
willing to join with this country in an
attempt TO bring about an agreement
upon this subject, and closes his dis
cussion of this question by saying that
he has still reason to hope that the la
bors OF this commission may result in
an international agreement which will
bring about recognition of both gold

"The recent victory of the fusionists

Rosewater of the Omaha Bee. was in
no sense victory for Bryanism. 1t
was protest of the voters against the
d.sgraceful boodlerlsm that had char
acterized state and municipal officials
who happened to be Republicans. The
state treasurer. the state auditor and
the city treasurer of Omaha had all
been guilty of purloining the public
funds. and the Republican party had
to suffer for their sins.
THE voters thought that the best
way to rebuke such conduct was to de-
feat the party to which these men be-
longed, and there was no thought of
any other issue. Mr.. Bryan. OF course.
claims the fusion success as personal
triumph, but those who know the real
conditions in Nebraska laugh at his
pretensions. The Republican party has
undergone its ordeal. and henceforth
1t will push to the fore. The people of
Nebraska are with 1t on all the leading
questions. and it is certain to come

Reciprocity Prospects.

The Dingley law is only about four
months old 1t has not had time to
justify itself as a revenue producer,
owing to the heavy anticipatory i'm
ports during the time that congress
was giving it final shape, but Its pro-
visions have been clear from the day
it was signed by the president, and
foreign countries are fully advised as
to its bearing and significance. Is
there single sign of tariff war
against the United States on the hor-
lion? Is there not. on the contrary.
a sign Of commercial good will in every
direction? Foreign governments are
putting the same high value on our
markets that We ourselves in the
Dingley law have put upon them. In
stead Of making war on us, they are
making oyertures to trade with us on
terms of mutual benefit. The reci-
procity clause OF the new law prom
ises to be one of the most useful fea-
lures. Great Britain invokes 1t in the
interests of her possessions in the
West Indies. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is
now in Washington willing to discuss
terms for increased trade between
Canada and the United States. France
desires to negotiate reciprocity treaty
and Peru does also. 1t is not too much
to say, indeed, that the United States
has only to show a willingness on the
subject to extend her trade by means
of reciprocity on advantageous terms
in nearly any direction Washington

The truth is that foreign imports OF
wooden goods have not to any appre-
ciable extent affected the industry this
year, and the home market has been
depressed almost exclusively by two
mistakes of domestic origin. The first
was the crazy speculation In WOOL
which was based on the notion that,
with about two years supply in sight,
wool could be profitably raised last
February more than so per cent above
prices obtained a year earlier. The
second was the advance of many WOOL
en- goods above prices which consum-
ers were prepared to pay, on the theory
that people would not believe that wool
could decline, even after such an ad-
vance and with a great stock on hand.
Most people did believe it would de-
cline, and held back orders for goods.
Both materials and goods, having run
away from the demand for cOnsump-
ton, met inactive markets, and yield
ing in both was necessary to prepare
either the public or the clothiers to buy
with any freedom. 1t was inevitable
that in time business would take the
place of speculation.-New York

The Urgent Need.


We can build ships as cheaply in the
United States as they are built in Great
Britain, but we must have them tc
build in similar quantities in order tc
do this.
What this country needs is law that
will make it as profitable for an Ameri-
can to put his capital into an Ameri-
can-built ship for the foreign trade as
it ever was for him to put his money
into a railroad or into any other great
protected and prosperous American in
dustry. To do that the nation must
recognize that there are two distinc.
and different standards, the American
and the foreign. To maintain our own
standard of wages and of living pref
erence must be created for the Amer
lean ship sufficient to enable its own
er to employ native or naturalized citi-
zens of the United States to run them,
and they must be fed in a manner that
is not degrading to that citizenship.
This is impossible without such ma
tional legislation.-New York Com
mercial.

The Golden Egg.

1t was case Of killing the goose
that laid the golden egg when the laws
that gave protection to American ship
ping were repealed. And We haven't
the excuse Of the old woman In the
story. who hoped, by killing the goose.
to get all the gold in a lump. We
didn't hope to get any gold by killing
American shipping-and We didn't.
What We did hope for we didn't get.
The first step toward doing away With
the laws protecting American ship
ping was taken in response to the ar
guments Of pro-British party and
with the hope that the repeal Of our
laws providing for discriminating du-
ties would help to bring about an era
OF good feeling, warm friendship be-
tween this country and England. A
vain and Elusive hope it proved. as
subsequent events showed. We gained
nothing, but We lost our ocean carry
ing trade.
We have seen our import carriage in
American ships decrease from over 80
per cent Of our total import carrying
trade in the twenties to less than 70
per cent in the nineties. We have seen
our export carriage in Am >rican ships
decrease from over so per cent in the
twenties to less than 10 per cent in the
nineties. The gold eggs to pay for this
ocean carriage have been going into
the pockets of foreigners. There is no
reason why We should not keep them
for oIrselves-no reason except our
failure to return to our former policy
Of levying discriminating duties.

Effect of silaee ON MIX.

Repeated experiments have shown
that no fear is to be entertained as.
to the effect Of ensilage on the quail
ity of milk. Some of the most
progressive dairymen in the country
feed it, even those that are shipping
milk at fancy prices to thousands Of
customers. Good silage fed properly
is bound to improve the quality Of the
E::-. and butter rather than detract
from it. If the silage is kept in the
barn with the cows, and parts Of the
silage refuse allowed to pile up and rot
in the corners of the cow stable till Il
becomes fetid mass, then very likely
the milk will be affected, for 1t Is be-
lieved that the odors of such masses
will readily impart themselves to the
milk. This is denied. we know. by
those who assert that milk will not
take in odors when in the warm state.
but we are suspicious of that kind Of
reasoning. One dairyman says that he
began the feeding of silage with a
good deal of fear. but after he had fed
for some time his commission man
wrote to him that his butter was the
best in quality that it had ever been
at that time of year. As the seller
of the butter knew nothing about the
silage being fed. the letter was taken
as proof that silage. rightly fed, Inn
proves rather than detracts from tho
quality Of the butter. Similar incl
dents are constantly coming to light,
and this is only part proof that silage
Is one Of the best friends of the dairy
man.

animals are almost invariably slow

certain amount of size is necessary, but
it should be obtained without coarse

ity and finish rather than size. Besides
these qualities, and above all, 1t Is nee
