Cost Of British Imperialism
In order to get a more intimate
comprehension of the situation, il
is we'll to bear in mind that the
present debt of Great Britain is
three times as large as the debt of
our nation, and this great burden
has to be born by q population of
q little more than half that of the
United States. Their per capita
debt, then, is between fiveand six
times what it is in this country,
being about $74, as compared with
our S14. Tho Boer war, it is es.
timated, williadd So per capita to
England's debt, or half of our per
capita debt. It is plain that En-
glands imperial policy is a very
expensive one.

On January 20 Mr.. Gage sent a
little communication to the SEN
ate. In the light of the facts the
communication is interesting,
hence the World Herald gives j
publicity:
Treasury Department, Office Of
the Secretary, JAN 22.-To the
President of the Senate.--Sir: I
have the honor torecommend that
there be included in the urgent
deficiency bill now under consid-
GRAFTON, the following item of APP
propriation: To enable the sec
rotary of the treasury to pay rent
for the use of the property known
as the old custom house in New
York city, formerly belonging to
the United States, from August
%. 1899, to June 80, 1900, both
inclusive, 307 days, at the rate OF
4 per cent per aunum on the pur-
chasing price, Us provided in the
act OF congress approved March
2, 1890 (30Stat., $500, S1O9,847.12.
Respectfully. L. j. GAGE sec
rotary.
The property described was
purchased of the government by
the city National bank. The
bank paid in certified check all
but $4,000 of the purchase price.
Thelaw says that the price should
have been paid in cash and the
money covered into the treasury
Gage violated the law by accept
ing the check aud despositing it
with the bank that drew it. The
bank has the use of the govern
ment money for nothing. The
government holds the deed to the
property as security for the un-
paid $4,000, and the bank thus
escapes city, state and nationa
taxes. And the secretary of the
treasury now. asks the govern
ment to approl riate $lO9,847.l2
to pay as rent tp'the City Nation
al bank. = &C, r.
Through Cages favoritism the
bank gets the use of the money i,
should have paid to the treasury
of the United States. 1t escapes
taxes on the property. And it
secures rent at the rate of 4 per
cent of the purchase price,. It is
q great thing to have pull with

Appendicitis.


The folling informotion regard
ng the disease known as appendi-
citis, is taken from. the Carroll
Herald, the information being
given by DR.. A. L. Wright Of that
place:
Appendicitis was named by
Fitz, Of Boston, in two articles
published by him in 1856 and 1888
Since then.it has occupied much
attention of the medical profess
sion. Many books have deem pub
lished on the subject and scarcely
number of q medical journal is
issued without an article bearing
of it. The frequency of attacks,
and the inability of physicians to
get at the nature of these cases
make it the most important and
grave of all interabdominal disease
Before light was shed by the in
vestigations of Fitz and others all
difficulties now known to be due to
trouble with the appendix we're
though to be Inflammation of the
bowels. The appendix. it should
be stated, is q rudimentsry attach
ment, or under developed end of
the large intestine in man and
some of the lower animals, SO far
as known it has no use in the func-
ton of the body.
The cause of appendicitis is due
to disease producing germs gain
ing an entrance into the appendix
and exciting inflammation. The
normal contents of the intestine
get in and produce irritation nl-
ceration, Inflammation and per-
foration into the abdominal cavity
and death ensues. The introduce
ton of seeds of :raisins, etc; exerts
but little influence as cause for
appendicitis. In the $50 cases
operated upon by DIR. Wright he
encountered grape seed once
and an orange seed once-that's

Much light is shed upon the doings
of the American Steel and Wire trus,
"a fair sample of other combinations
by ex-Congressman John De Witt
Warner. This trust succeeded to
previous unsuccessful or short-lived
efforts to monopolize the American
market at the beginning of last year.
1t has q capitalization of $9O,OOOOOO
and embraces twenty-six mills and
other property having an actual value.
it is estimated, of only about $2O,OOO,-

three to four buckets of water. The

D. ..slore the combination movement
began. They are now quoted at about
$3 80 keg, representing an advance
within a single year by the trust of
over 1870 per cent. AS trust owns
its own iron ore supply aud pig-iron
furnaces and rolling mills, it cannot
say this advance was forced by the de-
mands or exactions of others in con.
troll of its raw material supply.
These are the prices charged to home
consumers in wholesale lots, and the
retail prices are much higher and in.
crease according to distance from the
centsrs of distribution. Meantime the
trust is doing large export business
at very different prices. Says Mr.
Warner: cit will make farmers fee
happy to know that this same trus
which charues them alta basis of SO s.

pounds IN 1899 to all parts of the earth.
Thus an American concern favors for
eigners with reduction of nearly 4
per cent from the price charged t
home consumers and the trust is quit
likely making profit on the expor
