Memory Street, A Story of Life by
Martha Barker Dunn. Published by L.
c. Page and company. For sale by A
r. Derse.
There is a simple wholesomeness in the
pages of Memory Street that comes like
a Whit of fresh country air. The rather
prosaic title, by the way. suggests only
a series of "reminiscences, while the vol
ume really contains a well told love story
in a New England village setting.
Annie Frazier, the central figure in the
tale, tells her own story, beginning with
her precOciOuS childhood and carrying the
narrative on through girlhood and mar
rage. with the final suggestion of a hap
py after life that leaves a pleasant flavor
Tor the chronic novel reader.
There is enough of contrast in the char
acter drawing to give color. and enough
of a story to give form, so that the book
might be said to leave the impression of
pleasant picture well executed Mem

NOW that Mr. Platt has succeeded in
lending Governor Roosevelt to the
nation, the Republican party of the
state of New York is confronted by a
serious problem" says the New York
Tribune in discussing the governorship
of the Empire state The nation will
doubtless be as grateful to Boss Hanna
for the loan of his man as it will be
to Boss Platt for the loan of Roosevelt,
and the great majority of voters in
this country will be perfectly willing to
return both to their bosses after hav-
ing little fun with them through the
campaign.

In a last pathetic appeal for more
bonds, the Deseret News says the job
the administration is. trying to put
through must be honest because the
chief contractor, P J. Moran, is a
Democrat.
Indeedi And Mr. Moran's chief
hacker is J. z. Dolly, Republican,
banker, philanthropist, prominent citi-
zen and perennial advocate of bonds,
more bonds, plenty of bonds. Also he
has advanced the city's S125 600 over
draft, which is to be reimbursed from
the bonds. AS chairman Of the board
of public works, Mr.. DOoly lets a con-
tract to Moran. Then, in his capacity
as director of a trust company, Mr..
Dooly is interested in Moran's bond for
the execution of the contract. Still
later, as chairman of the board of pub
lie works, Mr.. Dooly must pass on
Moran's work. If the contractor, by
any mischance, has trouble over the
acceptance of his work. Mr.. Dooly
will of course, make his Dooly's) trust
company responsible for any liability
that may arise.
Such contingency is almost too hor-
rible to contemplate, but it is a posi-
bility, nevertheless. And if it should
come to such pass, no one who knows
Mr.. Dolly doubts but that he himself,
as a city official, would make his trust
company, as bondsman, so down in it's
jeans and dig up.

"COsT OF THE PHILIPPINES. >

A correspondent asks for figures
showing the cost of the Spanish war
as compared with that in the Philip
pines. He also wants know what
items in the Philippine war have been
most expensive"
From report submitted to the senate
by the war department in June and
no official figures have been printed
since, it appears that the sum of $685.
100000 had been withdrawn from the
public treasury to defray expenses
growing out of the Spanish and Philip
pine wars, as well as the expenses in
cident to preparation for hostilities.
This includes the regular national de-
tense fund which. in 1885, for instance,
was s5O,S9O,920. 1t also covers the ex-
penses of the peace commission and the
2O,0OO,0OO paid to Spain.
This leaves a balance on account of
war alone of about $3O0.O0O.O00. The
most Of this was expended in the main
tenance of a large army, over 100000
men in camp while. a force no larger
than the regular army actually cap
tured the Cuban strongholds and forced
the Spanish government to give up.
The amount expended in the Philip
pines up to the 1st of last month is
estimated as follows:

only the expense attached to keeping
ships in the archipelago since the be-

COMSTOCK PLANS TO

Democratic Leader Said to Favor
Putting Up George I. Brown
to Be Knocked Down.

Mr. Miller was seen by a News man
this morning, and he said that he was
not yet In a position TO say what atti-
tude he would assume I'm the coming
municipal campaign. He was glad 10
hear that he had so many friends who
desired him 10 be a candidate. and he
said that ne would look at the matter In
all its bearings. He Is going away for
about a week or ten days. and on his re-
turn would better be able to talk on the
subject.
There Is a great deal Of Indignation
among a number OF the leading Demo-
Gratis at the sneering manner In which
Mr.. Ezra X. Perkins was referred to In
the columns of the Providence Journal.
Mr.. Perkins has many friends and Is a
business man OF integrity. and the con-
sensus of opinion Is that he should not
have received such treatment.
A well known lawyer said this morn
ing: II was not an advocate OF Mr..
Perkins as a candidate for mayor. bur
II he develops any real strength shall
give him my support in order to show
my opinion OF the unjust and uncalled
for treatment he has received Things
have come to "a pretty pass indeed when

Is sneered at and an attempt made to
render him ridiculous because he legiti-
mateiy aspires to public office"
On the Republican side there Is abso-
lutely notnmg new. and II seems 10 be
