THE BOOK CONCERN SCANDAL.
A Pertinent Question Asked by an In
quisitive Critic.

The Truth Seeker.
The people are going to ask by what right
the senator's, or anybody's representation,
voted out of the common fund so great
to religious sect That is their offense,
and the offense of The lower house. and their
investigation of the percentage paid an at
torney for bugrging them only distracts
attention from the al issue. Senator Hoar
now says that the Methodist Book Concern
fought properly to return the money to the
treasury" which is true; and when the
or whether it is ever returned or not, Con-
gress should at once reaffirm and adopt az
IT'S rule the act of Congress recorded on,
Page 20, Statutes at Large of the United
States, which reads:
and IL is hereby declared TO be the policy
of the government of the United States to
make no appropriation of money or prop
ing or aiding by payment for services. ex-
penses or otherwise, any church or religious
denominatic r any institution or society
which is U sectarian or ecclesiastical
control"
At pres congress is In a hole that
shows no way of egress. If 1t main
tains the lie claim of the Methodist
government was in justice bound TO pay
then Congress, having paid the claim, has
no further interest in the matter and is
making a spectacle OF itself in attempting
to dictate how the claimant shall spend the
money IT, on the other hand, the $2SS.0 900
was paid as a gTatuity and given as dona-
ton to the church, then Congress has vto-
lated the law, the Constitution and the
oaths, OF Office taken by the members. and
thereby they have been as recreant TO their
trust as Messrs.~ Barbee e. Smith have been
to the truth.

What is the average daily cost of main
tanning a tirst-class battle ship on a war
A large sum of money, but insignificant
when compared with what the cost might
be In case of action. when the conflict of a
single minute could sink the largest ship.

expenditure of more than $1,000 900 to replace
her.
Reliable estimates cannot be made whom
the fortunes of war must be taken into ac-
count. but the cost of maintaining our navy
on It's present footing Immediately before
the firing of the first gun in actual conflict
is known. That cost is 600 for each day.
A year ago the cost was a trifle less than
one-half of that amount but think of the
changes since then. and particularly of the
results of the activity of the last sixty DAYS.
when ships of all classes have been bought
by our government abroad and al home and
when war craft OF every kind-some. indeed
that had become simple memory-have
been brought from hiding places repaired
armed, manned and in all respects put in
CONDITION TO wage warfare. The manning of
these numerous new purchases and reviYa Ia
together with the addition of the war
strength needed on ships before in commits
sion. has been the cause of the wonderful
Increase in expense.
For an interesting example of the cost of
maintaining a battle ship in time of peace
when war is not even threatening, l have
procured from the records of the War De-
partment the cost of maintaining the New
York, the most expensive ship in our navy.
The cost for the last year was 1891 065 CO. or
an average of Sl0S6.29 per day. The various
items that go TO make up this total annual
cost VIII apply for the present purpose to
our armored cruisers and battle ships
though, Of course varying according to con-
stantly changing circumstances and now
being increased by the war footing on which
our navy rests. OF the 1851 .065 60 spent by the

terdav officer Gilling saw him on corner

Thomas. Wier was charged with vio-
latiun Of a city ordinance. Secretary Wiley
testified that he issued permit to Wisr
for jackson street near Tenth. One of the
provisions Of the permit Is that none of the
trcet opposite other property is to be oc Gu
pied by builder without the consent of
the owner,
Officer Quinn deposed that one half of
the street has been used and about twenty
feet in front OF the adjoining property has
been occupied with building material.
Commissioner Nc Closkey deposel he
went to the place, as q complaint was
lodged at the Office If such consent is
stopped it is impossible for builder to
carry on the work. He did not know where
tho bricks came from.
One of the members of A. S. Reed G.
Bros company testified that the bad
weather caused the material to be on the
street. There is nothing to hinder a man
to hitch his horse between tho brick and
curb. St. Louis allows builders some priv
