People in the country who are annoyed
by flies should remember that clusters of
fragrant clover, which grows abundantly
by nearly every roadside, if hung in the
room and left to dry and shed its faint
fragrant perfume through he air, will
drive away more flies than sickly saucers

Collection And Audit
OF Island Re-
venues.

The War Department is busy pre-
pairing a detailed report concerning
the collection and expenditure of the
revenues of Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines. This is in respon
Sc to resolution passed by the
United States Senate requesting
that such statement be furnished
for its information in connection
with the framing of Legislation. Suf-
ficient progress has been made in
the work of Investigation to show
that under tie SYSTEM of auditing at
present employed, there will be &C
counted for, to every reasonable de-
mand, all the money that has been
received and disbursed in Puerto
Rico and the other new possessions
of the United States, under the ju-
risdiction of the War Department,
running up into the tend Of millions.
The funds of each Island or group OF
Islands is kept independent of the
United States Treasury, and a new
and special system of auditing was
required. The best trained man in
the auditing department in Wash
ingtOn, Mr.. j. r. Garrison, who was
for many years Deputy Comptroller
of the United States Treasury, was
selected to draw up auditing regula-
tions and was himself made Auditor
for Puerto Rico.
The Governor General acts In a
general way as Comptroller and un-
der the Auditor are two assistant
auditors, one for Posts and one for
Customs. The Senate will be agre-
eably surprised when the report of
the Secretary of War is presented
to it, to find how perfect q system
of checks and balances is in opera
1iOn. 1t is believed that the report
will show a balance to the credit of
the Cuban administration of about
two mil,ion d,llars, and that the
Philippine Treasury has about one
million to the good. In Puerto Rico,
unfortunately, on account Of the
hurricane the expenditures have been
proportiOnally SO large as to leave
practically little or no balance of
receipts.
The system ofkeeping all accounts
of Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Phi
lippines separate and distinct from

The Proposed POpu-
lar Election OF
United States
Senators.

The proposed amendment to the
constitution providing for the cleo
ton of United States Senators by
direct popular vote has met with
practically unanimous approval in
some parts Of the country.
Nevertheless, a majority of the
committee which must pass upon
the measure is opposed to it, and the
facts elsewhere presented show that
the thirds vote in the Senate
which is needed to secure the sub.
mission of the amendment to the
people can not be obtained in the
present Congress.
