ESTIMATED WAR EXPENSES.

Up to and including October the ex-
penses of the war were figured at
Sl64,9S2, 22S, exclusive of the regular
outlay for army and navy purposes.
1t was estimated at the close of the
conflict that $155, OOO,O 900 would cover the
actual outlay for the war. 1t was also
estimated at that time that $500, 600 OnO
would cover all the expenses of adjust
ing conditions growing out of the war
pending final settlement of peace nego-
tiations and a permanent disposition of
the fruits of victory
1t is now estimated that S253, GOA. 600
VIII cover the necessary outlay during
the rest of the current fiscal year, or
up to June 80, 1899.
Upon that date the cash balance in
the treasury, unless all calculations are
amiss, will be something over $3.50, O90,-
600. The Cleveland emergency fund of
$4,000. the s2O0,OOO,0OO raised by the
bond issue, and the sum raised by the
war taxes which Mr.. Mckinley and
Chairman Hanna say must remain in
force VIII leave big reserve on hand
after all bills are paid; always except
ing. however, the possibility of The
president finding some new and unex-
pected way of expending the same.
The Dingley deficit will be replaced
largely by this continuance of war
taxes after the war is over.

A number of naval officers were talking
the other night at the club of the launch

talk drifted into recollections of incidents
on WarShipS just going into commission.

Captain Joseph Fife, one of the old school
of man-o war shippers and a man who

of all the enlisted men that ever served
on one of his ships, had a great contempt
for talkativeneSS on the part of skipper

HOW TO AVOID COLDS.

While discussing the grip which we
dread, it may not be out of place to
offer q. little advice concerning colds
which we have.
Many people seem to look upon colds
as a necessary evil, recognize them as
unavoidable, and adopt measures for
self-protection which almost invariably
render them far more susceptible to
the influences from which colds spring.
The best way to meet a cold is half
way The only way to escape it is by
putting on a bold front. and not so
many wraps. OF course, if one is going
for a drive, he should take every rea-
sonable precaution against becoming
chilled. But the average man remains
in a redhot room when threatened with
a cold, bundles up to take a walk until
he is warmer than in midsummer. sits
down with coat and muller on. either
in a draft or in another overheated
room, starts again with the same outfit.
and all the while imagines that he is
to be commended for his prudence and
knowledge of guarding his system
against a cold.
Next day he sends for a doctor. who
says he has "a bad case of la grippe"
Forestan the causes that produce
colds: inure the system to exposure:
harden, rather than soften it: seek the
influences that are bound to find you
anyhow; don't coddle; don't be always
opening the pores, unless you are able
and prepared to stay in bed until the
weather or the seasons change.
A cold sponge bath in the morning.
followed by brisk and rough rubbing.
is a good way to bluff a cold. The room
should never be kept real warm: it is
better the least bit cool, with plenty of
fresh air from the window tops. The
clothing should conform to the season.
always as light as possible to keep
comfortable, and the neck should not be
wrapped up, unless one has an ailment
of the throat, in which event the band
age should be dispensed with at the
earliest moment suggested by common
sense and knowledge of the condition

collars and the like do people more

There are many ways to treat a cold
after it has been contracted: some say
there are as many different cures as the
patient has friends and acquaintance.
The important thing is how to under
mine the popularity Of the complaint.

RUSSIAN PUBLIC DEBTS.

The cars ukase directing the pay
ment of $4,000, 900 roubles out of the
imperial treasury reserve fund, for the
redemption of a portion of the govern
ment debt, is looked upon as polite
contradiction of the rumor that Russia
was negotiating a loan with American
capitalists.
The public debt of the Russian gov
eminent amounts to 2,12S,S2e 100 gold
roubIes, which has been contracted at
various periods from 1888 to 1895, for
various purposes. 1t has been Dor
rowed in nearly all the countries of
Europe-France, Germany, England,
Holland and elsewhere.
The Siberian railway has consumed
a great many roubles in its construc-
ton, but there is no doubt of the enter
prise returning every copeck expended
upon it, 1t is believed that the minis
ter of finance has borrowed over 1O0,-
COO 600 roubles in the last four years
for the extension OF this gigantic rail-
way. It is also claimed that the ma
tionaI debts increase since 1886 has
been fully one-fourth of the aggregate
given for public works. As a gold
rouble is a fraction over II cents,
American money, the size of the Rus
sian debt may be easily determined.
There was quite dramatic Incl
dent in the financial history of Rus
STA" writes William E. Curtis, to the
Chicago Record, "at the time of the
marriage of the car to the Princess
Alix, the favorite granddaughter of
Queen Victoria At that time the Rus
sian credit was rather low, because the
Jewish bankers are said to have formed
a combination to boycott the empire in
the money markets of the world, in re-
yenge for the persecution Of their race.
The young car at that time sought the
Intervention of his uncle, the Prince Of
Wales, who had long been intimate
with several members of the Rothschild
family The prince became convinced
that the Russian government could
borrow no more money as long as the
restrictive edicts against the Jews re-
NAMED in force, and by reason of this
information, through his advice, one of
the first acts of the young car was to
revoke them
The Jews are rapidly accommodating
the real sirews of war, while their in
fuence upon the world is to make men
feel and fear the influence of money
more and more, to make statesmen re-
spect and kings dread the power of
gold. Russia was compelled to accede
to the wishes of the Jew. Another
power, more threatening, but less eff
fective, would have been answered
with a shot across its bows. But gold,
in the hand of avarice, can bring even
a car to his knees.

MYTHOLOGY MIXED.


Janus was unknown to the Greeks,
says one who is fond of disputing with
himself. Then he gives two versions
of the matter, both proving the Greek
origin of the Roman god. One is that
he was "a king who was banished from
Greece to Ilium,' and how could he be
unknown to the Greeks if he were a
king whom they banished?
If he went to Ilium, or Troy, it was
in an opposite direction from Rome.
But what is this reference to st. Pat
rick? Our classical neighbor is evil

when it mentions st. Patrick among the
Romans. Sure and it will be after

that Cadmus came from Cork.

WHAT GENERATION WAS 1T?


The organ of the agitators quotes ap-
provingly the words of a nameless
young Mormon some of which are
as follows:
II do not believe that the old leaders
of the church wanted him to run. I
know that majority of US of the sec
ond generation here did not want him
to run, for while we are willing to per-
nit things here to take their course,
there are two things which we do not
want"
That is very different from the Trib-
une's opinion, expressed with such
freedom and frequency since the nom
ination of B. II. Roberts last Septem-
Der. 1t has declared time and again,
running up and down the gamut Of
emphasis, that Roberts was a church
candidate, that he was nominated sole
ly because of his high position in the
church, that he was pushed for the po-
sition in fulhIlment of a prophecy, that
his election was a slap in the face Of
the nation administered by the hand
of the Mormon people, that he was not
a party favorite or candidate in any
sense, but a candidate of an influence
outside of politics.
It is rather late in the day for the
organ to begin to hedge on its atti-
tude, to get from under the agitation,
to put words in the mouth of a mys-
ferrous young Mormon to soften the
harshness of its own misrepresenta-
lions and open the way for a COM
plete disclaimer on its part after
awhile
If majority of the old men of the
church didn't want Roberts to run, and
a majority of the young men of the
church were opposed to his candidacy.
what kind Of CUFF has the local organ
of the rising storm been giving the
people of the east in the marked copies
it has sent out to infiame, certain To-
calities against the organization and its
missionaries in the field?
After a confagraton is started it
requires something besides a dampen-
ing of other matches to quench the
flames. It is not enough to say that
statement generating an organization
is worthy of credence when the one
who makes the admission has tried in
every conceivable way to discredit the
organization and to make the world
believe that its members are pledge
breakers and totally unworthy of be-
lief.

probability of his conviction on the in
dictment. Nor does his Office guarantee
him immunity from arrest, for it is a
felony with which he is charged.
The opponents of Senator Quay say
that, however many members of con-
gress are guilty Of misdemeanors and
other indiscretions, they will not re-
ceive felon into their membership.
Nonsense. A party which honors, and
body which receives with open arms,
the convicted but unsentenced Mark
Hanna, will never slam the chamber
door in the face of Mathew S. Quay.
They say the penitentiary door is
yawning for the senior senator from
Pennsylvania. It may as well do some
thing else. 1t will yawn in vain. 1t
will serve better as a sarcophagus for
the hopes of Mathews foes. A Stone
Quay will not allow to gather moss.
What in the name Of common sense
did the keystone boss nominate and
elect governor for, if it wasn't for

If anyone imagines that Governor
Stone will permit his political creator
to be imprisoned, he isn't acquainted
with the machine.
The moral wave on which Hanna,
triumphant and defiant, rode into pow

parvenu that he was, Quay has been
wading through from boyhood. The
great moral party, as it used to style
itself, seems to overlook bribery, cor

shrieking reform.

Cabby's Revenge.
london Tidbits.l


A stipendiary magistrate in a town in
Yorkshire, who was not given to err on
the side of leniency, once had before
him cab driver who was charged with
furious driving. After some severe
comments on the mans conduct a
heavy fine was imposed
A few days after the trial the magis-
trate, who had been detained rather
longer than usual in the court, was
hurrying along to catch his train, when,
seeing an empty cab handy, he hailed
the driver and directed him to proceed
to the station telling him that he was
pressed for time. The driver, however,
needless of the hint, kept to a very gen.
tie trot.
Il say, say, my man." exclaimed
the fare, with his head out of the win
dow, drive faster than this"
1T can't be done, sir" replied the
driver. "Ye see, if we drive faster
we're had up afore the beak, and we
gets fined; Sc we has to be careful"
He did not alter his pace. and neither
did the "beak'' catch his train

QUAY SUCCEEDED, OF COURSE

Mathew S. Quay is the choice of the
Pennsylvania Republican caucus for
the United States senatorship as his
own successor.
Quay is one of the leaders of the
national Republican party, and has
been for a quarter OF century. He is
a notorious corruptonist, and a coun-
se!or OF the organization; a boodler and
a high official of the state and nation;
a bank-wrecker and a president-maker
It is hard to say whether he is the
greater. rascal or politician. 1t is safe
to say that he has done too many odd
Jobs for his party TO be cast aside at
this stage Of the proceedings.

ness OF the opposition" he has been
unanimously endorsed by the Repub-

WITH PARTISAN EYES.

The Provo Enquirer, which is either
extremely partisan or fanaticaIly re-
hglous, or both, regards every state
ment of fact as an admission. either
or the truth of a doctrine it subscribes
to, or of the soundness of a political
policy it endorses.
In the figures The Herald reproduced
the other day from the Railway Age
the Enquirer sees a point in favor of
the Dingley deficit law, or the single
gold standard, to which it is equally
welded.
There are several causes for better
prices and prosperity, which have come
without any help or encouragement
from prohibitory tariffs and silver de-
monetizing measures, and they were
given.
The Herald states but facts in regard
to these conditions, unmindful of
whether it is furnishing material out of
which partisan sheets may make DO
litical capital or not.

WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS.

Every copy of the New Years Herald
has been sold and orders are still COM
ing in from all parts Of the west.
One reason for this demand for The
Herald, while the special edition of a
contemporary is still advertising for
buyers, is the preference shown for a
clear, concise, accurate and up-to-date
treatment of the various topics of in
terest.
In this busting age busy people do
not care to read over an entire page
for what may be stated in one or two
columns. Then they want matter Of
reasonably recent date. That page of
the Tribune devoted to the school year
ending June go 1885, would have pos
sessed some interest for statisticians
had it appeared about July /; and even
at this late day would serve a purpose,
possibly, in an almanac or catalogue.
The newspaper that publishes such ia
bles and articles as news, or even as a
review. may eventually catch up with
the seasons. but 20 do so it Evill have to
strike better gait than its present
waddle.
In advertising the growth and devel-
opment of the city, it isn't necessary to
overdraw the picture or TO exaggerate
the record The truth is satisfactory.
There is no necessity for listing every
shed erected as a new residence or
doubling the real estate sales by listing
sheriff's sales and the records of the
same as two separate and distinct
transactions. When would-be investors
find out such deception it will do more
harm than good.
When the Tribune gets out of the rut
and presents its readers with something
new and interesting, it will not be COM
r,eiled TO auction off it's special editions.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PREPARING THE
MENU

MENU.
One of the difficult problems for the
housewife is to use the cold meat max
ing IL palatable and tasty and welcome
to the table. For this reason we have
on the bill of fare today 'Ragout of
Beef. 1t is not difficult to prepare if
you will follow the method usually adopt
ed by cooks. Here is the recipe:
Cut a pint of cold cooked beef into half
inch slices, being careful to remove all
bone or gristle, and if very fat a portion
of the fat: Put the meat into a stewpan,
cover with boiling water and let it sim
mer slowly until it is very tender, then
add half a can of mushrooms cut fine a
little lemon juice and salt and pepper to
taste. Stir in cornStarch or flour. previ-
ously wet with cold water. and stirred
TO a paste, 10 give the liquor the required
thickness, and caramel to color a rich
brown, and let the whole cook for ten
minutes.
For future dinners let me suggest that
veal may be treated in the same manner
and Is never rejected by lovers of good
food. Always serve plain boiled or
mashed potatoes with q ragout and in
season some green stuff or salad as the
acid of the dressing makes a fine accom-
paniment.
In preparing the chicken salad. chop the
cold chicken into small particles, add a
little chopped celery, place on a plate
with French dressing, CT, if you prefer,
use mayonnaise.
