WHAT DRUNKARDs COST BOSTON.

The Boston Transcript has been
publishing some interesting statistics
concerning the money spent in main
tanning the drunkards of the bean city.
1t says:
Last year The city of Boston ex-
pended the sum of sII5,So2 for the
support Of drunkards in the house OF
correction in Suffolk county, accord
ing to figures furnished by Penal
Institutions Commissioner Marshall.
While all of Suffolk county, which in
cludes besides Boston the city Of Chel-
sea and the towns of Revere and Win
throp, furnishes inmates for the penal
institutions, the entire cost of main
tanning the institutions is borne by the
city Of Boston. This is because the
control of the institutions is left wholly
to Boston.
Commissioner Marshall says of Deer
Island: There were S,447 committals
to this institution for drunkenness, and
the aggregate of the time servei by
those committed was equivalent ,c
1879 years. With per capita cost
of maintenance of S64.7o, the cost o
maintenance was SIII,2I2. At the
South Boston House of Correction
there were Io7 committals for drunk
enness, and the aggregate of the time
served by those committed was IA, 46e
days. With per capita cost of main
tenance Of SI24.47, the cost of main
tenance of the above number wa:
$4,000.

Senator Hoar on Expansion.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,,
who is the ablest Republican in the
United States Senate, has made the
most notable and telling speech that
has yet been made against the an
nexation of the Philippines. He said
that the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution are both clearly
against the establishment and govern
ment of colonies. The policy of i'm
perialism presupposes an empire, and
no republic ever governed foreign
States successfully. This greed and
lust of power will bring death to our
Constitution. The Monroe doctrine
will be gone, and every European
nation and every European alliance
will have the right to acquire domin-
ion in this hemisphere when we &C
quire it in the other.
In conclusion Mr. Hoar said:
"a year ago last December, the
President of the United States sent a
message to Congress. In that mes
sage he said:
IL speak not of forcible annexa-
ton, because that is not to be thought
Of, and under our code of morality
that would be criminal aggression
s'President Mckinley, when he
spoke, was not thinking even of
honor or of power, inspiring and
alluring as are honor and power.
He placed himself and placed the
American people on the stern, endur-
ing, and perpetual rock of righteous
ness; that forcible annexation is not
to be thought of, under our code OF
morality; that would be criminal ag-
erosion.
'.Who shall haul him down? Who
shall haul down the code? Who shall
haul down the PRESIDENT"
Mr.. Hoar dwelt with emphasis upon
the large increase in national ex-
penditure which the policy of expan.
sion advocated by Mr.. Platt would
entail, placing the amount at $3.50,
100000 annually.
He argued that the adoption of Mr.
Platt's doctrine would reduce wages
increase taxation, place an armed
| soldier on the back of the working
man, and by the act of the govern
ment every Americans dignity would
be dishonored and his manhood dis
| credited.

NEARLY A BILLION.

When it comes to gold, we have it
i. e. Uncle Sam has In speaking OF
our gold supply the Atlanta journal
says:
About year ago when Russia had,
after ten years Of arduous effort, accu
mula,ed 5000, 100000 in gold, 1t was
announced that no nation ever before
held such stock Of the civilized
worlds standard money metal.
Now Russia will have to take back
seat in the gold procession. She has
not as much gold by many millions as
she had a year ago, and our govern
ment has more now than she had then.
The director of the mint, after the
most careful inquiry, estimates that
there is now 500, 900 in gold IN
the United States. This amount Is
nearly 5000, 900 in excess OF the
amount of gold which was supposed
to be in this country when the great
battle ofthe money standard was waged
in 1906. The largest sum Of gold
ever before officially estimated as be
ing in this country was s7o5,SIS,855
in 1888. The stock of the preclou:
metal held in the principal coun,rle:
of Europe, in Australia and in The
United States in 1878, was $1,000,
8oo,ooo According to the director
of the mint the present stock of colo
is S3,7So,ooo, which is more by
$1,000, 900 than the total stock "
both gold and silver in the same coun
tries in 1873.

ROuNTlES FOX THE FARMERS.

1t seems that we have one real good,
honest man in Congress, and one that
is looking after the interests of the
farmers. The Philadelphia Leager
says:
Senator Hansbrough has given
notice of his intention 70 offer an
amendment to Senator Hanna's Ship
Bounty Bill, one which is likely to
suggest and serve as the forerunl er of
others, the tendency OF all which will
be toward the material expansion Of
the eIeemosynary purposes Of that
measure. Senator Hansbrough evil
IDENTIFY believes that if the policy of
fostering private business at the ex-
pense of the whole body of the people
IS wise and just it should not be limit
ed in its operations to the fostering OF
only two or three private business in
terests, but extend to all of them.
His proposed amendment provides for
an export bounty of 81 per ton upon
all agricultural products shipped
abroad, the annual aggregate value Of
which is, he estimates, al from Sc, ooo,-
900, 900 to $1,000, ooo,o 900. He is
responsible for this estimate, which if
correct, would require the p'ymen of
bounties by the Government Of SUN
bewildering in its proportions.
But the logic Of consistency is en-
,lreiy favorable to Senator Hans
brough's proposal. The policy of
granting Government bOuntles to rem
der private BUSINESS profitable can be
defended only upon the ground that
its benefcent operations are enjoyed in
equal measure by all business interests
in common. If the ship building and
deep sea fishing industries are to be
made profitable, not by the ordinary
or legitimate earnings of the well
directed efforts, intelligence ard en-.
,erprise of those who conduct them
but by taxes levied upon the entire
country for their benefit, why, Senate,
Hansbrough apparently argues, should
not the agricultural industry be made
profitable in the same way, by the
taking Of money from the Fedora
Treasury to foster them?
1t will be strange if the shallow sea
fishermen of the New England coast
including all those engaged in the tax
ing of oysters and scallops, do no
sooner or later demand from Congress
a bounty similar to that demanded by
those who fish in deeper water. The
Hanna Bounty Bill proposes to give
the owners of deep sea fishing boat
81 a ton, and to each member of thei
crews 81 month during the whole
year, though they fish but quarter .
, il and though twOthlrds of them ar
foreigners. If this class of fisherme,
are to be supported from the Treasury
why not the other class or classes u
fishermen?
, Senator Han>brough's amendment
is not at all likely to become law, an,
{ 1t has no real significance except tina
%, making pain the unwisdom and in
justice of the bounty system as it is tx
8 plotted in Senator Hanna's bill, whlc
latter IS dls,inctiveiy class measur

! tended to indicate by his amendmen

CHURCH GROWTH AND STRENGTH
IN 1903.

The New York Lnaebenaentpublishes
an important table showing the numer-
ical strength of the different neli5 ious
bodies of the United States and their
gains during the past year. The Phil
adelphia Times in commenting the
statement says:
One might ask with no unreasonable
curiosity how the figures given were
| secured, what actual accounting has
been rendered, by whom, and how
was the tally made; but there is no
reason to believe that the presentation
is not at least an honest attempt to
make an estimate, or to doubt that the
result is more nearly accurate than
could be reached by any other present
available means. 1t shows that the
church membership Of the United
States is over 2S,ooo,ooo, that at the
end of 1897 there were included in
forty-seven denominations 27,775,ooo,
| which has been increased 10y new mem
| bershlps with S62 900 in the course Of
the year just ended. The four bodies
of the Catholic faith are the strongest
denomination, exceeding the Metho-
dlsts, who are $4,000 by 100000.
The Baptlsts have 4,4o5 900, the Pres
by,erlans 1900, 900, the Jews 1900
900, the Lnthetans 100000 and the
Disciples of Christ trlne over a mil
lion. The numbers then run down TO
the Orthodox Schwenkfeldians, who
have a membership of but 500 and
who have had no additions to their
strength this year. The Church of the
New Jerusalem Is the only one charged
with loss, its numbers having been
reduced by 972 during the year The
Catholics have increased by 21o,7oI,
the Methohsts by 10000 and the
others, except the one named, proper
tiona:ely with their previou, strength.
Leaving out the factor OF uncertainty
in the report, The striking feature of it
Is the growth Of the whole church, in
dlcatlng that real religious feeling is
working in this country and that the
faith OF the people is as vital and as
| constant as ever

Much pressure is being brought to
bear upon President Mckinley to
get him to authorize the payment by
this Government Of the soldiers in
the Cuban insurgent army, the
money so paid to be charged against
the revenues of Cuba, which will
be collected by us after January /.
1t is argued that this should be done
as an act of humanity, as well as for
the safety of life and property in
Cuba.

NEW YEARS BELL

Ring in the new year with gladhess'
Ring out the old with tear;
There's always feeling OF sadness
AS we witness the death OF year,
A wear SO swift in its tleeting.
With sorrow we watch its last hOur,
Then give the new one greeting
From the bells in each steeple ana
tower.
A sigh for the year that is dying.
A tear where the memory dweiiS.
Then Danish the past with its signing
And list for the voice OF the bells,
The song Of Thanksgiving and pleasure
That welcomes the birth OF all hour,
The soul stirring, vibrating measure,
That rolls out from each steeple and
tower.
Altar DER the night Swallowed city
The surges OF harmony roll.
In anthem triumphant or ditty.
They tighten the sOrrOwing soul,
A voice from each country and nation
Responds to the jubilant hour
And Joins in the wild exultation
OF the bells in each steeplc and tower.
A thought for the dead. calmly sleeping
Below in earths dreary gloom;
No song of Thanksgiving or weeping
Can pierce their dull ears in the tomb
But above, where all heaven rejoices,
And heralds with praise every hour.
They greet with sweet welcome the voices
That ring Out from each steeple and
tower.

UNDERTAKING TOO MUCH.

The Afro-Americans "a name
adopted by the sable citizens who
are too tony to like the name negro
at their recent Washington meet
ing, mapped out a pretty large-sized
programme, some OF which is COM
mendable, and much of which is folly.
The first announcement on the pro-
gramme is that they propose to raise
funds to prosecute lynchers and test
the constitutionality of the laws in
some of the Southern States disfran-
chising negroes.
We could suggest way by which
the money proposed to be raised to
prosecute lynchers could be dispensed
with and all litigation avoided, that
is for these Afro-American leaders to
show the same interest in restraining
those of their race who commit the
crimes that provoke lynching as they
do in bowling about the lynching
after it is done. II they showed as
much interest in preventing these
crimes, and in the prosecution and
conviction of the fends who commit
them, there would be fewer such
crimes and fewer lynchings. Part of
the programme, and doubtless the
leading part, is to "resist political
race discrimination against the ne
gro," which they ought to be con-
WINGED, after these many years of ex-
perience, is simply kicking against
fate.
II the object of the Afro-American
Council was to better the condition OF
the people whom it processes to rep
resent it would give most of it's at
tention to the moral, educational and
industrial advancement of the race,
by which it would gain inestimable
more than it would by all the balancy
OF the programme combined, if sue.
