PAP AND ExrnAvAGANcE.

On the LIST of March, 1893, the total
interest-bearing debt OF the United
States YRS S5s5,53i,260.
On November 20, 1897, it Is sS47,-
365,620.
That is to say, in a time Of pro-
found peace the governments bonded
debt has been increased by no less
than s262-33I,360, simply because the
revenues have not equaled the cxpen-
ditures.
And now the nation is spending
every month 100000 more than its
income, with the certainty OF still
further bond issues il something is
not done to increase revenue or to
cut down expenses.
This Is the situation that confronts
congress.
Yet the people are enormously lax
ed. II what they pay all went into
the treasury the whole national debt
would be speedily ertInguished and a
reduction Of taxation would become a
Pressing OF necessity.
The trouble is that under the Ding
ley-McKinley system the greater por-
ton OF what the people pay goes not
into tho treasury but into the Golfers
OF protected and trust-manipulat-
ing monopolies.
On the other hand the expenditures
otthe government are enormously in
excess OF the actual need, because u
very great proportion OF the appropri-
ations is made simply to serve PARTY
purposes, or. in plain words, to buy
votes with bounties.
What a monument the present con-
gress could build for itself il it had
the courage to deal with this matter
nationally and honestly. cutting off all
unjust appropriations and levying
taxes with sole reference to the re-
Punishment OF the treasury. But
what a howl would come up from all
the trusts and all the coded and
Pap-fed monopolies. - New York

IL Was Formerly as - De-
structiVe Engine of War.
The old Antietam gun recently sent
to the, McShane foupdries to be recast.
says the Baltimore American, has been
reduced to q condition of absolute
harmlessness. Its laundering roar has
been silenced forever. Its military util-
ity has become a thing of the past. No
longer does it maintain its original
identity. No longer is il recognizable
as an engine Of war. In the language
of the foundry ''it has been badly
broken up"
Tho old bronze destroyer has lost
it's primitive power OF death and now
lies ruined and mutilated in the shop
awaiting the next process in its course
of transformation. 1t has been cut into
nnumber of comparatively small pieces.
This has been done N order to reduce
it to n convenient state, such as is re-
quired, in order that ii may easily enter
the crucible. This breaking process is
forced by special tools particularly
adapted to just such work.
Already the old gun has been split
up into six or eight pieces. The break
Ing process may be still further c%ontin-
used until it is sufficiently reduced to
make it perfectly workable. 1t will then
be melted and recast. issuing from its
final process in Il condition proper to he
used as index plates. This, however.
will not be effected for several weeks
yet. There still remains some detail
planning to be completed before the
gun will be carried through its final
stages OF gradual transformation.

1t seems they have a poll tax law

enacted by the last Nevada legisla-
ture. The World OF recent date says
that Justice Chester OF the Supreme
Court has decided that the law pro-
viding for the payment Of Il poll tax
as a qualification for the exercise OF
the right to vote is unconstitutional.
David b. Till was the attorney for
those who contested the law. Senat-
or Hill urged that it was contrary TO

way, a qualified voter from exercis-

Chester decided that the payment Of

matter Of the Investigation Of the
management Of the Nevada Insane
Asylum was taken up by the Board
at 3 o'clock this afternoon and after
the testimony as transcribed at the
Asylum was read over each OF the
members filed Il separate report.
The charges against the manage
ment were in brief rs follows:
L. Brains Of deceased patients
were thrown into the river, thus
violating provision OF the statutes
concerning the pollution OF rivers.
etc.
=. Tuat romans had BEEN kept
in the morguc until dissolution had
commenced.
Governor Sadler finds the first
charge supported by ono witness.
The second charge he finds ;ruo to
the extent that the body WIS kept in
the morguc 3G hOur', and that tho
body was kept twelve hours Of that
time because no funerals are permit
ted at the Asylum i'll the day time
when the patients are about tho
grounds. The action Of throwing
brains in the river is condemned. but
the sewerage OF the Asylum. and the
town OF Reno rs well, cmpties into
the river. the testimony litowisc
shows that last Juno tho Superin-
tcndent ordered that brains Of pa.
ticnts on which autopsics had been
held should be buried. In conclu
sion tho Governor finds that the
Asylum is economically and hunancly
conducted.
