The Financing Of thu War.

can nov be figured out with telera
BILE accuracy. The average expen
ditures OF the War and Navy De
partments in the years 1896 and
1897, before the intervention in Gu
ba, we're about ISL 100000. In the
latter year the War Departments
outgo was SIS, $50, 267, the Navy De-
partment's, 1874, sol, $40 In 1898
the aggregate expenditures Of the
two departments mounted up to
$150,S15,9S4, in 1899, to 1898. 1888,
1858; in 1900, to 1892, 100000 1t
thus appears that the increased ex
penditure due to the war was $40
100000 in 1898, $2l3,O00, 600 in 1899
and Sill 100000 in 1900. The total
increase for he two departments
was accordingly about 1894. 900, 600,
to which must be added the $4,000
900 given for the Philippines and
various other items due to an in
creased scale of expenditure in all
the departments consequent upon
the war. It is not an excessive esti-
mate to put the cost of the war,
when all bills are audited, at round
half billion.
The financing of the war was eff
fected, the New York Journal Of
Commerce finds. by the sale of 5000
100000 three per cent bonds and by
the imposition Of internal and other
taxes which have to date produced
about S210.000.000. Some S27, 900
600 was received also in the settle
ment with the Pacific railways. APP
proximately the old laws sufficed for
the ordinary expenses of the Gov
eminent, and the sale Of bonds and
the new tax laws have sufiiced to
pay the cost OF the war A result
of the war is considerably Increased
scale of expenditure for the army
and navy. This increase Of outgo
has been met by the increase Of in
come caused by the War Revenue
Act. A surplus has been accumula-
ting during the past fifteen months,
but this has been due to the fruit
fulness of the older revenue laws,
which have more than net the ex-
penses OF the Government on the an
tebelIum basis. This surplus is at
rate Of about $6000,000 month
Altogether the surplus from ordina
~ sources of taxation in the past
two years has been about $95, 900,
600. There have been efforts to keep
the surplus down In e FIJI 4
1899 as much as $21, 7l,S67 was

Unusual Grounds for Divorce.

In Missouri woman has brought
suit for divorce, alleging incompati-
bility. The leading specification is
that her husband, who is rich man,
neglects and refuses to wash his hands
and face oftener than once week.
1t seems that on Monday, the family
wash day, the head of the household
performed perfunctory libations, which
were expected and required to last
him through until the next wash day !;
and 40 amount of persuasion would in
duce him to change his custom and
daily daily with the soap and water.
The man, by the way, is real estate
dealer, and it may have been his pur-
pose to carry liberal samples OF his
stock in trade about with him on
hands and face, though he did not en-
ter that plea.

NOT A SUCCESS.
No Prospect of Growing Egyptian
Cotton in This Country.

The excellent quality of Egyptian
cotton, and the consequent high price
paid for the no inconsiderable quanti
ty imported into the United States.
have caused the department of agri-
culture to investigate the possibilities
for the production of the Egyptian va
riety of the staple in various parts Of
this country, but the experiments in
growing Egyptian cotton in this coun-
try plainly indicate that there is little
hope for success with this crop e kept
in the south Atlantic or gulf coast re-
gions, or in the irrigated lands of
southern Arizona or California. The
seasons elsewhere are too short. for its
maturity Although cotton has never
been cultivated in the irrigated lands
OF the west sufficiently to be regarded
there as an important staple crop, ye
it has been grown to small extent in
southern California since the earliest
historic records of that region. 1t
thrives there under irrigation. 1t has
been stated that while the. fibre of
common upland cotton grown under
irrigation in California is slightly
shorter than that of the same variety
grown in Georgia, it is finer and fully
as strong. 1t has further been proved
that a fair crop of cotton may be OBJ
tanned on land too strongly alkaline to
produce wheat. a saline soil and sa-
line atmosphere are held to be benef.
cial in the production of the best quail
ity of Egyptian cotton.

GRlGGs MADE A GOOD POINT.
Saved Democrats From Acting in Advance
of Convention.

A Washington dispatch to the Sa-
annah News says:
Representative Griggs of Georgia
saved 'the democratic caucus from
making serious mistake at its caucus
Saturday night. The facts have just
leaked out because in the announce
ment given to the press there was no
reference made to this particular ep-
isolde.
Representative Stephens of Texas
introduced resolution providing for
the appointment of committee of five
members to formulate the party's po-
sition on the territorial question and
prolmulgate this as the party's po-
sition.
There was rot much attention paid
to the matter at first and the general
tendency seemed to be to adopt it,
when Judge Griggs took the floor
against it. He pointed out that the
national convention of the party is to
be held in the very near future and
that it is the business of the party to
formulate the party creed. While
there might be no difference between
the action of such committee as was
proposed and the platform committee
of the national convention still such
formal action by a democratic caucus
would be premature, and in other
ways it would be bad politics. He
pointed out also that the republicans
are having all sorts of trouble over
their Philippine position and that it
would be politically unwise for the
democrats to take any step which
might divert the public attention from
their troubles.
The good sense of Judge Griggs'
contention was at once recognized
and the resolution of Mr., Stephens
was promptly withdrawn. The demo-
Gratis do not of course hesitate in let
ting the country know their position
on this question, individually and col
lectively, but the unwisdom of party
action in advance of the national con-
vention was recognized by all.

FULL STATE TICKET.
Populsts Nominate Candidates for Governor
and Other Offices.


and Other Offices.
The populist convention in Atlanta
last week nominated the following
state ticket:
For Governor, J. H. Traylor of
Troup county.
Secretary of State, DR.. L. L. Glenn
ents of Milton.
Attorney General, F. H. Stafford of
Emanuel.
State Treasurer, J. w. Park of
Meriwether.
Commissioner of Agriculture, w. T.
Flint of Taliaferro.
Prison Commissioners, J. T. Dickey
of Upson and S. G. McCandless of
Butts.
The platform appeals for prohibition
and direct legislation by means of the
initiative and referendum. The hope is
expressed that the coming national
convention will clean the ranks of
all mere office-seekers and work new
era in the part, s history. The Omaha
and Cincinnati platforms are endorsed.
Hon. J. H. Traylor, the populist
nominee for governor of Georgia, is
one of the most prominent citizens OF
the state. He has for years been 'one
of the leading agricultural factors OF
Troupe county. 1t is through his ster-
ling character as man andh is ability
and worth as a citizen that he has be-
come prominent in the state of Geor-
gia.
Mr.. Traylor was born in Virginia.
He was educated at Emory and Henry
college in that state and moved to
Georgia in his youth. He has been a
citizen of the state since that time,
and has been engaged in the agricul-
tural pursuits which now occupy his
time and attention.
He was honored by his district once
by election to the state senate. He
represented the 9th district ably, and
his record is remarkably free from
that criticism which is common in
these days and times to public officers
records.
After the business of the day was
through Wharton Barker of Phila-
delphia and Ignitus Donnelly, who
were honored with the endorsement
for president and vice president, dellv-
cred addresses TO the remaining dele
gates in the hall of the house of rep
resentatives, having come all the way
to see populism on its native heath.
They were heard by d respectable
crowd of Atlanta people.

A Frenchman's Method for Promoting the
Proper Development of Children.

A Frenchman's Method for Promoting the
Proper Development Of Children.
The subject of stunted men and wo-
men is always of Importance notwith-
standing that the rising generation
promises to be we'll above the average
in height. A noted Frenchman has
published researches in paper 'read
before the French Academy of Medi-
cine in which he traces shortness in
children to alcoholism, morphine hab-
it, and other similar troubles in their
parents. He believes that treatment
for stunted children is valuable and
should consist of rational measures di-
rected TO the relief of the maladies
which produce arrested development
combined with improved hygiene and
gymnastics. Remembering that there
is always one primary factor which
renders the child short, he attempts
the direct remedy by stimulating the
growth of the bones. Since the
growth of the bones is at the point
where the shaft joins the ends, he
induces local excitation at this point
by applying saturated salt or brine
compressed around the joints at night.
He believes that electricity locally
applied is even more efficacious and
almost any kind of current seems to
act as a sufficient stimulant. He has
also found good results from the
application to the muscles surround
