where So Much Money Goes.

To show where so much money goes,
study of the cost of campaign speeches
alone is very instructive. Each National
Committee spends at least $4,000 for
speeches, and the State Committees spend
ten times as much more. This is one
item of 100000. The Republican Ma
tional Committee this year will send out
1000 speakers from the New York head
quarters and 5000 speakers from the
headquarters in Chicago. The Democrats
will send out an equal number These
speakers cost on an average $110 a week,
that sum including salaries to the spell
binders and an expense allowance of So
day. Some of the campaign speakers
receive salaries as high as $3.50 a week,
while other are content with $50 week
and their expenses. The average cost
of the speakers to the committee is $110
a week, and they are on the stump eight
weeks. While the National Committee

Chicago correspondence:
Few people realize the enormous
amount of money that will be expended
in electing a President of the United
States this year. In the campaign of
1896 upward of $25, 600 was used
and it is believed that more money viii
be expended this year. Unless one could
get behind the scenes and account for the
bulk of this vast sum few probably would
believe that SO many millions could be
used by the politicians in so short time.
With each succeeding Presidential cleo
ton it has become easier and easier for
for the managers on both sides to use
money bounteously. This does not mean
that there is to be a wholesale de-
bauchery of voters. No one knows just
What proportion of the $25, 0O0,0 900 will
g to purchasable voters. 1t is known,
however, that only a comparatively small
part of the total will be used in this way.
All kinds of politicians agree that the
two National Committees had at least
$o,OOO,O00 to spend in the fight four
years ago, and the same authorities are
unanimous in declaring that the two
committees will have fully as much this
year. For every dollar that the National
Committees spend it is a conservative es-
innate that the State Committees of the
two parties will spend four, and this will
make up the total of $50, 100000 that the
election will cost IR

EIRE LA sr NIGHT

Last night. about $50 o'clock, the
large new school house in Prentis
Place, belonging to the county, was
burned to the ground.
The building and contents were en-
tirely destroyed. The school house was
Just completed in September last. There
were -four schools taught there. Mr..
lake Codd was principal. School was
kept in the building yesterday, and
when the teachers left everything was
all right Nothing is known OF the ori-
gin of the fire. but 1t is thought that
1t caught from the stove. The build
ing cost $4,000. and the loss will be felt
very much, besides it will cause a num-
her of children to be kept from school,
The Portsmouth department turned out,
nm alarm being sent in from box &C.
The engine and Hook and Ladder Com.
pany only went to the city limits and
returned without going any further
Mr. Codd said last night that the fire
was undoubtedly an incendiary one, as
he knew positively that there was no
fire in the building after o'clock. He
made the teachers haul their fires and
dump the ashes and cinders in the
street, consequently it could not have
caught from any fire, but was set on
fire.

HEARST spELDED BIRD"

According to Mr.. Frye, the incident

bill of fare, and in it, among other
items, rosie birdie, ST." AS the future

spell bird. Don't you know any better
than that? You ought to spell it
'b-u-r-d.'"

would have you understand, George
Hearst, that I am as good speller as
you, any day. 1 will leave it to the
crowd that you can't spell bird right.
Yes. I'll bet you basket of cham

"All right" said Mr.. Hearst
All right" said the saloon man;
but I am not going to have any mis-
take about it. You have got to write 1t
down on this piece of paper" and he
thcreupon handed Hearst q slip of
brown paper and a pencil.
Mr.. Hearst took it, and rapidly wrote
Bird"
But that is not the way you spelled
1t before" said the saloonlst.
"Of course it isn't" replied Mr..

on our part as to the claims Of the
boards, for the reason that half OF our
contributions did not reach the treas

ter q most determined fight OF ten days,

Thousand soldiers are now prisoners In

dield out so long in the face of such SUI
perior numbers and under such n gall

marvellous.
This is a severe blow to the Beers,
but by no means ends the war. and
the British will find new lions in their
path as they attempt to reach the cap

they prosecute their task of subduing

In view-the protection OF the public

will deprive the cities of the right to

This Legislature has done well in pro-
eecting public rights and In putting the
people into position to protect them
selves against monopolies by whomso.
ever those monopolies were owned ana
controlled. Let there be no departure
in this case. Let it be said that the
rights Of the people have not been dis
turbed or molested. but on the con-
trary, the people have been strength
sened In their power to protect them
selves. 1t Is hard to believe that any
corporation or person would have the
bnsoiance to make upon Virginia the
