THE TREASURY AND NATIONAL DEFENCE

THE TREASURY AND NATIONAL DEFENCE.
The sale of the Kansas Pacific has some i'm
portant financial results. The official Treasury
statement for Saturday corrects the months ex-
penditures previously reported, and makes the
amount for the month S22, 695000 with this
note Of explanation: 1.-THE warrant for S7515,-
1855 IS issued on February 8, 1898, to pay the
first mortgage CD the Kansas Pacific Railroad
having been returned and paid into the Treas
Jury, the expenditures for this month and this
fiscal year are decreased accordingly" The
settlement thus puts money into the Treasury
instead of taking out over 100000. at least
for considerable time, which will affect the
balance Of available cash on hand and the COM
parison Of revenue with expenditures both for
the current month and for the fiscal year. AL
though the payments on account Of railroad llt-
CATION were not properly chargeable to the ex-
pendltures Of the month or year, they have been
so charged In many comments and criticisms,
either carelessly or deslgnedly causing the i'm
preston that the shortage of revenue is greater
than 1t is in fact.
The return for Saturday left only six more
working days In the MONTH deductng the hol-
day, and showed handsome gain over the same
part Of January both in customs and internal
revenue. The gain for the last ten days has been
less than for the first part Of the month, but the
customs receipts are still about 81 400 600 larger
than for the same part of January, and the in
ternal receipts about S1,06S, 900 larger. As jan
uary included three more days, and, with five
Sundays and New Years, twenty-five working
days, against only twenty-five this month, de-
Quoting four Sundays and Lincolns and Wash
ingtons birthdays, there is fair promise that the
customs receipts for this month will compare
creditably. about equalling those Of the longer
month preceding. The internal revenue, though
more than S100O,OO0 larger than In the same
part Of January, will fall short for the full
month II continued at the present rate; but the
aggregate would In that case approach closer
than In any previous month to the monthly
average required which would be very salts
factory for twenty-five working days against
twenty-six or twenty-seven In an ordinary
month. Larger receipts from sugar duties
would naturally appear in March than in the
month preceding; In 1892 the imports for March
were more than double those Of January or
February. and In 1893 more than double those
Of January and a third larger than those of
February.
Saturday night the Treasury held on hand
over $225, 100000 IN excess of demand obliga-
lions. and s125, 600 In excess of those obli-
cations and the bullion fund for protection OF
United States notes While this total includes
some items not really available for ordinary pur-
poses, the amount is large enough to Justify
Congress in making without hesitation any ap-
preparation that 1t Is likely to deem requisite

MORE PRISON LABOR RESTRICTIONS.


The school.desk manufacturer has firm
friend In Assembyman Roche. That gentleman
has introduced In the Legislature a bill to pre-
vent the use Of ANY chair, desk. FURNITURE
article or thing In any of the public schools
"of this State heretofore or hereafter manufact-
'ured In whole or in part In any prison, peni-
"tentiary, reformatory or penal institution IN
this State"
We shall probably be told that young children
should not be contaminated by contact with
prison-made goods. II they did their sums with
crayons moulded in prison their arithmetic
would be demoralized and If the cast-iron
frames Of their desks were moulded In Auburn
instead of at Grand Rapids their free American
spirit would be undermined. A great deal of
this same sort Of argument has been heard
against convlct-made roads and parks as well
as against convict-made brooms. The real rea-
son for the bill Is not that the children will be
demoralzed but that the school supply COM
panes will be demoralzed II the penal insti-
tutions make school desks and chairs There
fore, these companies are convinced that 1t Is
better for parents to pay large sums for equip
ment on which they make profit than to get
equally good supplies from the State institu-
tons, and thereby save money for the tax
payers.
It is high time that special interests stopped
foong with the prson-labor problem. In re-
spouse to the ostensible demands Of free labor
which demands were in many cases, there is
reason to believe, really inspired by large man
ufacturlng firms to get rid Of competition-the
last Constitutional Convention prohibited the sale
OF prlson-made goods to private persons but spe-
clally authorized their sale to the State and d.
visions thereof. That amendment was adopted as
satisfactory by the private interests which asked
for a change, and was acquesced in by other
people. The State authorities have had the
greatest difficulty in planning under It a system
which would keep the convicts from going
crazy. They appear finally to have succeeded,
and have developed an Industrial system which
keeps the men busy and is remunerative to the
State. There Is no justification for interfering
with It now. Enough has been conceded to pr-
vate interests and class demands. 1t is in order
to consider the interests Of the taxpayers as
a whole.

A fine sample Of castle in Spain is that
constructed by the newspaper 'El Pals" in the
form of dream OF a reunion Of South America
with Spain against the United States. Such an
alliance It says. would be the second Power IN
the world in population. That Is to be doubted.
South America has about 100000 and Spain
1S.000.000; in all, say. 62000000 Leaving the
British Empire. with Its hundreds OF millions,
out of the calculation. Russia and the United
States both considerably outnumber the pro-
posed alliance. Moreover. some millions OF the
South Americans are wild Indians. II they be
omitted and only the civilized people counted
the new Power would be inferior .in population
to Germany and perhaps to Austria Hungary. so
that, instead CT being the second in the world it
would have to fight for sixth or seventh place.
That is. however. Of little consequence. for the
arrangement is about as improbable as an alli-
ance between the Earth and Mars.

other excretory organs. whenever taken,
whether in summer or in winter, but
as the greatest of spring remedies il has
extraordinary opportunities for induc-
ing the body to throw off morbid hui
mors that poison it, and cause rheuma-
tism. neuralgia, heart trouble and a
general low state of health. as in spring
the system is more pliable and even
chronic diseases become more tractable.
Skin diseases are of the most
conspicuous neglect. Paine's celery
compound will cure every unhealthy
condition of the blood, shown by erup-
tions. pallor, salt rheum and other skin
disturbances. The men and women who
have been made strong, well n happy
by this great remedy are in themselves
the best attested record of what Paine's
celery compound is competent to do.
Physicians recognize Paine's celery
compound as the one scientific spring
remedy. and it is universally prescribed
by them wherever there is great need of
a vigorous and prompt restoring of
health and strength to the WORKOUT
system.

Boise. Idaho, April 29.-The democratic
state committee adjourned to-day after a
t~wo-days' session behind closed doors. the
net result of the meeting Is that the DEM
ocrats refuse to follow the populists 10
Moscow to hold their convention. and that
arrangements have been made with the
silver republicans to hold their conven-
tions here at the same time as the demo-
Gratis. This is taken to mean that the pop
ulists will be out of any silver combine
unless they change the place OF holding
their convention, which IL not at all ike
". II also looks very much like a silver
republican-democratic fusion. The COM
mittee called the democratic state con
vention for Boise on Aug. "A. The po0u-
lists will meet at Moscow on the sth OF
