Extra revenue not used for war


purposes .SlooOoJ,,o'
Thus it will be seen that so far from
the war having caused the deficit it
actually produced an extra revenue of
S156, 100000, and yet the total deficit
for the year is SIS, 1000"
Observe, the deficit reported over all
revenue is SSS,S75.000. Add this to the
extra revenue of $156,000,000 and the
total deficit is S244,O00,O00, Surely the
American people will hold Mckinley
and his party strictly to account for
this monumental debt piled upon their
shoulders by the most extravagant ad-
ministration that ever ruled to ruin at
Washington.

That Deficit.

Careful analysis of the treasury re-
port shows that the past year has been
characterized by an expenditure on
the part of the Mckinley administra-
tion unparalleled by that of any year
in the history of the republic. OF
course, the Republican officials en-
deavor to break the force of the indict
ment brought against them by their
own figures and allege that the great
expense was occasioned by the war
with Spain. The New York Journal
refuses to take this view of the situa-
ton, and disputes the proposition as
follows:
'As a matter of fact, the war with
Spain has not caused the deficit. On
the contrary, if there had been no war
and no war taxes the deficit would have
been larger and would have startled
the country. Republican extravaganza
has been hidden by the war.
''The cost of the war is shown thus:

GATHERING CIGAR ENDS.
Peculiar Partisan Clan that Proposes
to Form Il Syndicate.

w
Everv visitor to Paris has observed the
ragged individuals who perambulate the
boulevard and peer in among the tables
and chairs in front of the cafes in search OF
cigar and cigarette ends, which they deity
harpoon by means of bent pins on the end
of a stick, relates the Pail Mall Gazette.
the megottiers, as they are called, are now
trying to form a mutual protective syndl-
cate. Their reason is that the police In
terfere with them too much, considering
they are peaceable folk and that the craft,
never a lucrative one, is thus rendered
almost impossible. Such, it appears, is es-
pecially the case in summer. when the
streets are clean and the best customers OF
the megottiers pick up their own TOBACCO.
The fact that this is the bad season probably
accounts for the present little agitation.
This singular trade occupies three classes
of persons-the picker. the cleaner and tie
salesman. Everybody has seen the picker
at work and observed how he combines beg
ging Herewith. In the evening the pickers
meet at low wine shops in the Faubourg du
Temple, where they find the cleaners await
ing them. Newspapers are spread on the
tables and the cleaners set to work to undo
the cigars and cigarettes. Meanwhile the
pickers eat their bread and sausage and by
spending three halfpence on a glass of wine
obtain the right to sleep in the establish
ment as best they can until 2 o'clock in the
morning. At that hour the wine shops are
closed. But they open again at 3. when
both pickers and cleaners enter and by ak
ing another glass Of wine each may sleep
till the morning. During this interval or
closing and opening the tobacco, put UP in
packets, has been handed over to the sales
man, who disposes of 1t in workmen's quar-
ters like the Place Maubert as the men pass
on their way to work. TIL purchasers
consist chiefly of masons, who all come from
the country districts of Limousin and
Grouse and are delighted to get a large
packet of tobacco for 2-pence, There ex-
list, moreover, real tobacco shopkeepers who
purchase the vile stuff and mix it with good
tobacco, the profits derived therefrom be-
ing, naturally, considerable. This practice,
however, does not exist to any great extent.

VENERABLE Cannon.
Probably Left by Magellan when on
His NoNnge Of D~iscnNcrN.

Several vessels which have arrived in Bos-
ton lately from the Philippines have had
natives and other reminders of the islands
on board, but it remained for the ship John
Currier, Captain R. S. Lawrence
of Maiden, which arrived the other
day from the island of Cebu. to bring
home an old cannon, which, it is claimed, is
a relic of Magellan's voyage of discovery,
says the Boston Transcript. Whether or not
the ancient weapon dates back quite as far
as this, 1t is, at any rate. an interesting
relic. 1t is about ten feet long and has
been washed by the ocan waves for so long
that the surface is badly corroded and COW
cred with barnacles. No inscription of any
kind can be found on it, so its history is
largely a matter of surmise.
The John Currier was at Cebu before the
American occupancy when it first arrived
the insurgents were in entire possession,
with a governor general commanding. When
1t was reported that the Americans were
coming there was a great fright among the
occupants, but the conquest of the island
was accomplished with little difficulty when
the Petrol arrived. Captain Conry gave the
governor general twenty-four hours in which
to evacuate, with a promise to shell the
town at the end of that time, and the gov
ernor general evacuated.
Captain Lawrence of the John Currier
learned from the British consul, Mr.. Cheese
bottom, the story that Magellan constructed
a fort at Cebu out of a projecting rock, on
which he planted the gun which is now in
Boston harbor. The captain thought it
would be an interesting curiu in Boston and
he determined to have it. The cannon had
fallen from the rock, which was apparently
pumicestone, and had been undermined. II
was still attached to the carriage and at low
tide was partly visible. A gang in charge
of Second Mate Newman was sent to bring
the cannon aboard. Considerable digging
was necessary and the help of a crowd OF
natives was enlisted to roll the piece into a
long boat, as it was impossible to rig a
tackle. Once in the boat they had to wait
for high tide to float the craft and then the
relic was hoisted on the Currier by means
of tackle.

BOAR DIRECT FROM AFRICA
Iowa Farmer Imports n wild Animal
to Cross-nreed His jun
gle Pigs.

LEMARS. Ia, Aug. Especial. IA wild
boar has been imported direct from Africa
by John Delaney, a wealthy farmer, for the
purpose of improving the stock on his place.
The jungle pigs are free from disease and it
is Mr.. Delaney's belief that by cross breed
ing he will make his herd immune from
cholera. His experiment is being watched
with the greatest interest by the farmers Of
the state. The animal on Mr.. Delaney's
farm differs In many respects from both the
wild pig of India and the comparatively
we'll known bush hog of South Africa.
1t is Of the one-toe variety. It's hoof is
solid and round like that Of a horse. 1t
lis much less leggy than the Indian pig and
has a stocky, promising body. It's head is
long and its snout peculiarly long and blunt.
There is a callous protuberance on upper side
OF the snout not unlike a sprouting rhinoc-
erous horn. The tusks are not yet devel-
oped. The animal is a little over a year old
and weighs 500 pounds. 1t is expected that
at full growth it will balance between 700
and 800 pounds.
The four first families sired by the African
have just been Uttered. The young swine
about forty in number, bear strongly the
characteristic of the boar. They are all Of
the one-hoofed variety.

His Note Lacked a stamp.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Aug. 9.-(Special.) y
A Sioux City man has found himself mixed
up with the government because he did
not put a 2-cent revenue stamp on a
promissory note. His name is Mis- Frilund,
and when he gave this note OF $40 to John
Kelly the latter suggested hat he had bet
ter put a stamp on 1t. Frilund remarked
that he would pay 1t in a few days, and it
was not worth the trouble and expense. But
he did not pay the note, and when suit was
commenced he pleaded as a defense that
there was no stamp on the note. He won
this case, but found himself under arrest
in a very short space of tiSe. Now he has
been held to the grand jury under $500 bonds
and already he has spent several times the
amount Of the note in attorney fees and
costs.

day afternoon next to investigate charges
brought against Firemen Newton Martin and
Charles Matthison Of No. 2 engine house.
William j. White, living at Second av-
enue and Nineteenth street, has, through
his attorney, filed a complaint against the
two fremen charging them with improper
conduct toward his wife in connection with
a COW and a calf. AS far as can be learned
the trouble is the result OF a neighborhood
row. Smith in his complaint alleges that
the fremen ~unlawfully and witt malice
aforethought conspired to deprive him of
his cow and her calf by having them locked
up in the city pound. He also charged that
the two iremen used insulting language to
his wife when she went to make inquiries
about the animals, and further injured her
feelings by threatening to call the patrol
wagon and have her taken to jail.
The fire and light committee will meet
in the council chamber next Monday after
noon, when everyone interested will be given
an opportunity to air his or her version of
the trouble. 1t is said the entire neighbor-
hood will be present at the Investigation.
