The Putnam Street Bridge.

We have not as yet heard of sin
gle good reason why the cLange of the
street railway should have been made
from the lower side to the upper side
of the bridge. Every one supposed
that the matter was settled and that
the lower side was the proper place for
the tracks Being on the lower side
would give the people who wished to
cross the bridge a chance to get over
without crossing the tracks, the BIZ
cycles and vehicles could also cross
the bridge without running the chance
of colliding with a street car. The
tracks being on the lower side would
give the pedestrians crossing on the
upper side view up the river, includ-
ing the park, the same as at present
Now the Council has reversed the or
der and have decided to nave the
tracks run along the upper side of the
bridge. The prevailing wind is always
from up the river, or from the north
west, which means that all the dust
from the roadway and from the street
car tracks will be blown into the faces
of the people crossing the bridge
If the city is to pay for street car
bridge, as shown in the plans, then it
should be placed where it will be the
least possible in the way and where it
will be the least possible menace to
life and property The cnly justiflca-
tion the Council could have for proyld-
ing hangers especially for street car
tracks is in the fact that an arrange
ment would afford an additional pro-
lection to life and property, and mas
much as we are bound to have the
street cars whether we are willing or
not, therefore we should get along
with them with the least danger and
annoyance possible.
Now, in view of such considerations,
it would look like folly for the Coun-
Gil to place the tracks where they will
be the most annoyance to the public
and dangerous Ito life and limb.

The Treasury Keeping Even.

SO far during the present fiscal year
the revenue keeps little ahead of the
expenditures. At the end of the first
quarter a surplus of about $2,000,000 is
shown. The receipts for the quarter
have increased $l7,OOO,OOO over the
same period last year, and eXpendi
lures have fallen off $45,O00,0OO. Gus
toms are yielding from s6UO,OOO to
81 100000 a day, and internal revenues
average S1,0OO,O0O day. Both show
an aggregate gain Of $5,000,0O0 over
September of last year. The War De-
partmentis spending an average Of
ST., 100000 a month, and the Navy De-
partment $5,000000. Last months
statement of gold in the treasury was
$245,000, 900. The September figures
are y254OOO,O00. This Is a remark
ably favorable exhibit. The army has
been increased from $1,000 men to 100,-
900. A war is under prosecution 1000
miles away that will require the SER
vices and transportation of $4,000 or
10000 men. The navy Is growing
steadily in battle-ships of the first
class and other costly vessels. And
yet the government is more than pay
ing expenses.
Wien the treaty was under discus
sion several senators insisted that 1t
would plunge this country enormously
in debt. Senator Hoar urged this view
Senator Caffery was especially eXpllc-
it. He estimated that the cost of hold
ing Philippines would be 1921, $780,
900 a year That is more than the en-
tire expenditure on the army and navy
and we should not disband either if the
Islands were surrendered, Senator
Caffery declared that "our imperial
budget for the year ending June &c.
lsOO, even as stated by Secretary Gage
is appalling enough. But | am conf
dent that he underestimates the eX
penditures of that year if the imperial
policy is to be carried out" Well, the
end of the first quarter of that year is
at hand, and there lis a surplus of $2,-
1000. Secretary Cages estimate
runs over, not under. A vast deal of
fOolishness was talked by Senators
who fought tie treaty. Their predic
lions and figures are on a par with
their patriotism. m.-Globe Democrat.

Oil Trust Case Goes Over.

Columbus, o., Oct. 5.-Attorney Gen
eral Monnett attempted to have heard
by the Supreme Court this morning a
motion to advance the suits brought
lgains tthe Standard Oil Company and
the several constituent companies
composing the alleged trusts, to deeer-
mine whether the Standard is evading
or violating the decree of March, 1892,
aojudging it trust and ousting it
from its franchise. Lawrence T. Neal,
for the Standard, advised the Court
chat Virgil P. Cline, of Cleveland, shief
counsel in the case, is at New York,
and lne court continued the motion for
one week. 1t is understood that the
Standard will resist'th motion on the
ground that counsel has not yet com
pleted the taking of testimony.

Pay For the Dewey Trip.

Columbus. o., Oct. 5.-The question
of whether the state Is to pay the ex-
penses incident to the trip of the Fifth
Regiment to New York, to attend the
Dewey exercises, will probably find fl
nal solution in the courts. Governor
Bushnell said today he believed this
would be the outcome, and he thought
the time ripe for definite understand
ing regarding the matter as a guide for
future contingencies. Certain 1t is
that the officers of the Fifth Regiment
and the detached companies which
went to New York will make out pay
rolls for the time and submit them to
the Adjutant General for approval
This will be given, and an order issued
to Auditor of State Guilbert for a
voucher upon the State Treasurer to
pay the money. Should the Auditor
refuse thls-and, judging by the action
already taken, he wlll-the matter will
then be carried into count to test the
States liability.
The Governor insists that the men
must have money for their time, and
be..eves the state ought to pay 1t with
out protest. Moreover, he contends
that in the past such procedure has
never been questioned. The Auditor,
on the other hand, with the opinion of
- Ornav GanaraI Monnatt ac ouf1, an
lty, claims the State can not legally
bear the expense, and thus far refused
to recognize Its validity. 1t seems that
decision of the court is the only way
to determine the matter. There will
be no question as to the expenses of the
Fourth Regiment, the Governor and
Mr.. Mclean sharing that expense
equally.

ABOUT CEREAL FOODS

and Fern a YaIuabls Addition
20 the Daily Diet.

Il has been conceded By those who
have made dietary matters q study,
that the stomach is helped, aud diges-
tive conditions improved, by an al
tsrnatiug diet Of the various grains for
breakfast food. There is such a great
variety in cereal preparations 10 draw
from, and these too can be cooked n SO
many different ways, that there Is alb
solutely no reason for the consumer
becoming tired, with a monotonous
diet.
Il is not generally understood by
hOusekeepers that any cereal, with the
exception of samp OF hullei corn, after
il has been well boiled, set aside to
cool, cut in slices and dipped in beaten
egg, can be fried a most delicate brown,
without hardening or toughening the
cereal. thus making a most delicious
dish for breakfast or luncheon.

During the cold weather the Ger,
mans, Hungarians and Poles make q
most nolrishing porridge with boiling
milk and buckwheat groats. Although
largely used in this way by our for,

of it even being tried by Americans.
Results point out that we should
vary our diet to keep in perfect health.
and although we may not at first take
kindly TO change Of cereals, still this
like any other habit, can be cultivated.
