Necessary Expenses Incurred
Upon City and County.
(Communicated).

(Communicated)
MessrS. Editors:
The Hon. Mayor and four Re-
publican Aldermen with their
counsel and part of the Board of
County Commissioners and Re-
publican counsel appeared before
the Frederick County delegation
at Annapolis last week, urging
increased license upon hotels, sa-
looms and grocery keepers, who
are now overburdened with Ii
Tense and taxation by the general
government. Their arguments
were so utterly unfair that they
became ashamed of themselves,
after the representatives from
Frederick County heard both
sides of the question, and they
lett Annapolis with shame and
disgust. Nevertheless our over
burdened city will be compelled
to pay all expenses for two trips
to Annapolis for said distinguish
ed gentlemen and also pay coun-
sci fees and the costs OF the trips.
The writer, as tax payer, Is
anxious to see an ltemlZed &C
count of those trips to Annapolis,
and what fees MessrS. Urner and
Norwood will he allowed. If
these gentlemen are sincere i'll
their efforts they should pay the
expenses incurred out of their
own pockets, the same as those
persons whom they were anxious
to crush out of existence. Why
did not the distinguished eX-Sen-
ator pass such bill when he rep
resented the county and both
Houses were in sympathy politi-
cally with him? This is quite a
fine move Oh the part OF eX-Sen-
ator Norwood, who pays no cor
poration taxes himself. An I'M
fair statement of court expenses
was made by the ex-senator,
claiming that two thirds came
from the sale Of liquor, when the
court records will show that two
thirds of the court expenses were
from local option districts in the
county. The liquor. dealers ask
for no favors, but fair dealings,
and give warning to all fanatics
that hereafter they will estimate
thu m at their true worth.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.
The Cost of Our Philippine
War - American Sympa-
thy For Beers.

Recently, says the Chicago
Chronicle, the Lower House of
Congress adopted resolution
asking the Secretary of War how
much the campaign in the Philip
pines had cost to date. Secretary
Root sent the following itemized
account i'll reply:
Quartermaster Generals De-
partment, $25. 715, 1901; Pay De.
partment, $40, SS3, 1874; Ordnance
Department, 1,S6O, 300; Bureau
of Subsistence, $3.50, 900; Medi-
cal Department, S1,2O6,172 Sig
nal Corps, 1886, 1923; Engineer
Department, 64,602; The Office
of the Secretary of War, S9,777;
Judge Advocate General, 81, 233;
Total. S4S,97S,O72.
''To this enormous sum-" says
the Chronicle, "expended to ac-
quire possession of the Philip
pines-that is to suppress the Fill
ipino forces fighting for their in
dependence-must be added the
amount of $40, 900, 900 originally
paid to Spain for mere quit
claim deed to the islands. Spain
had possession of only few sea-
ports in the Philippines and some
narrow fringes of seacoast. We
had to fight in occupying these
slim settlements. How much
longer we will have to fight time
will tell.
"Including the amount paid to
Spain and the cost of the war to
obtain possession of what we
had bought-and we have not
possession yet, the expenditure is
going on-the Philippines have
cost the United States sos, 57S,
072. Our investment in imper.
ialism up to date amounts to
nearly S7O,OOO,OOO. This is as
much as the cost of the Revolu-
tionary War, reducing the infat-
ed continental currency to gold
values of the day. 1t is more
than the entire annual expenses
of the government when James
Buchanan was President"
