chases in advance Of the maturity OF
the bonds, the net excess of receipts
over expenditures for the month was
more than 100000. The record or
customs receipts was also an excellent
one, showing more than $2O,OOO,OOO OF
receipts from this source. The receipts
from internal revenue were about $22,-
100000 It is a matter of surprise to
public officials that the expenditures
on account of the war department con-
tinue at such low figures, being less
than half what they were during the
Spanish war, Notwithstanding the
maintenance of large armies engaged
in active campaigns in the Philippines.
A year ago the monthly expenditures
exceeded the receipts by about $1OOOO,-
900. AS evidence, however, that exist
ing tariff laws are not only proving
efficient as protective measures, but
also in bringing increased volumes Of
revenue to the Treasury, the receipts
from customs last month were more
than $3,OOO,OOO in excess of those in
January last year.

The Real Danger.


Several Republican newspapers in
the country which claim that free
trade is a dead issue, because of the
unexampled prosperity, are probably
not aware of the fact that many Sec
tons of the country, and our colleges
in particular, are being flooded with
free trade literature, especially Of the
kind aiming to show that the protec-
tive tariff is responsible for the So
called trusts. The worst of it is that
the free trade propagandists are receiv-
ing aid and comfort from Republican
victims of the foreign markets craze,
who have somehow persuaded them
selves that certain of our industries no
longer need protection, and that we are
in position to make considerable con-
cessions to foreign producers in return
for prospective small increase in our
export trade. AS we we'll know from
past experience, the protective system
is never so much endangered as when
it's professed friends have come to think
that it's safety is not menaced by the
ever active and aggressive free-trade
movement Gunton's Magazine.

father, according to this story, took
him to Egypt, and his mother, becom-
ing a widow, married a Mohammedan.
George changed his faith and assumed
the name of his new father-Osman
Digna.
Schweinfurth's tale goes on to say
that young Osman received an excel
lent military training at Cairo, and in
1860 removed to Suakim, where his
stepfather became the principal slave
trader on the coast of the Red Sea.
The French boy inherited his name.

A Hero of the Mines.

In Rossmore mine, in Pennsylvania,
there is a celebrated mining mule, Old
Duke, by name. Old Duke has been
there for thirty years and has saved
many lives. He has an instinct for fire
damp-the deadliest Of all dangers tina
threaten miners-Which is marvellous.
Nothing else makes him uneasy. But
once he shifts the fire damp he bolts
for the lift This gives the alarm, and
the men follow in his path.
They are not born in pits and caves,
these mules whose lives are passed be-
meath the earth. But they are used in
mining, and from the day when they
first enter the mine they never leave
their underground quarters until acct
dent, old age or lameness renders them
unfit for further work.

a talent which is said to have been de-
velOped by his French, British and
German teachers at the military school
in Cairo.
The captured Mahdist general is
thorough Oriental in appearance as
well as in manners and morals. He
has long, jetty beard, keen black eyes,
and brows like the proverbial pirate.
In one Of his early engagements he
lost an arm, which in no manner has
alleviated his ferocity or tanned his
spirit, and the same may be said of his
harem of wives, for he took to polyg-
amy like a natural Turk. His capture
by the British will probably end his
military career

Apgie,s Race About Run.

A Washington dispatchRsays the War
Department believes that Aguinaldo
has escaped from the island Of Luzon.
In view of the failure of our troops to
capture him, after long and hot
chase, this is not unlikely, and it is rem
dered more probable by the collapse of
the instruction and the hopelessness Of
the situation from an Aguinaldo point
of view. If he has escaped from Luzon
he will probably turn up soon at Hong
Kong or perhaps in some European cap
ital. His safety there would depend
upon his conduct for the United States
would not tolerate his organizing or
fomenting new rebellion from any
neutral territory

MEANING OF THE FLAG.
A Patriotic Sailor Who Had 1T Deep
i'm His Heart.


i'm His Heart.
If those who go down to the sea. in
ships to fight the battles Of the nation
are all of the brand of this sailor, it is
no wonder that the United States Is in
vincible on the ocean. He was stand
ing on the corner Of 1st and B streets
southeast, having been viewing the
Capitol, when half dozen young men
came from the Congressional Library,
and met the tar, who was waiting for a
car. He was in regulation uniform of
sailor on land, and his rolling walk, as
we'll as his scanned and griZzled face,
gave evidence that for many year he
lad sailed the briny deep. The partic-
ularly noticeable thing about him was
small silk flag, about six or eight
inches long, which he wore pinned
straight across his broad breast. This
flag aroused the fun-loving propensities
of the young men and they began to-
chaff the sailor
"Say, Jack" protested one, ''what are
you wearing that flag for? This isn't
Dewey day."
"Naww returned the sailor. sit isn't
Dewey day, but it's to-day, isn't it?''
"Well?' responded the young man.
Yes, it's well, me hearty. It's to-
day, and every day in this God blessed
est Of free countries is flag day, and
sure thot's WE'LL

with a tender hand, "this here flag

yer stepmother, she'll purtect you and
lick the livers out Of any foreign lubber
that attacks you. Amt she done it?'
he asked suddenly of the laughing boys.
II say. amt she kept her word?'
"You bet she has," was the hearty re-
spouse.
"Now. see here, you can crack yer
jokes on me and be blessed to you, but
you let's this here flag alone" tapping
it significantly. lads, listen to Jack, .

GATHER THE RUBBER
LUCRATIVE OCCUPATION PUR-
SUED BY BRAZILIANS.
u. S. 8. Wilmington Explores the Anna
zon River and the Passes of the Para
Strange Sights and Sounds of Life
on Tropical River.

by studying on map of Brazil you
can see that the Para River extends
almost due west, south of the Island of
Marajo, to a network of narrow
streams, known as the Passes, which
connect the Para with the Amazon
These numerous channels are from
seventy to $50 yards in width, and
some of them are navigable for vessels
of eighteen to twenty feet draft. These
Passes are interesting enough to those
traversing them in small craft, but to
the officers and sailors of such steam
ers as the q. S. S. Wilmington they
are trebly so. At night there is little
to arrest the attention other than the
weird, dark shapes of the banks,
which ever seem close aboard. The
land being low and fat, and the trees
near the waters edge, it seems as II
the ship has forsaken her natural ele-
ment and is running overland o. in
visible wheels.
when daylight comes in sudden
burst of light like the unheralded Hash
Of the theaters illumination, there is
revealed on each side of the narrow
channel the forests solid wall, expos
ing to view a panorama of overhanglng
vines, Of creepers and foliage and
branches brilliant with the multitudin-
Gus hues of tropical vegetation.
"There is a strange chattering OF
animal life and whirr of winged in
sects. The discordant cries of myriad
parrots echo from the trees. There is
human life, too. Here and there en-
powered in the jungle can be seen little
wooden huts, with matched roofs and
sides open to the cooling winds.
"These are the homes Of the rubber
gatherers, who labor day in and day
out collecting the milky sap Of the
Hevea brasiliensis. This rubber gath
ering is interesting, and the Whining
toms crew watch curiously as the wind
ing channel reveals little groups of ma
tives at work along the edge of the
stream.
"Those on board who have read the
descriptions tell others of the manner
in which the half-naked Indians labor,
called an estrada or street, a path
through the forest, which embraces as
many rubber trees as can be conven-
iently tended, of how these trees are
slit with machete and cup fitted in
the cut to catch the sap, and Of the
manner in which the owner makes his
daily round and brings to his hut the
collected juice.
"There is also interest in the descrip-
ton of its next stage, when the sap is
dipped up by a stick and revolved over
a smoky fire. The smoke causes each
layer to coagulate on the stick, and
when the desired amount is formed it
is removed and made ready for ship
ment. These balls Of crude rubber
usually weigh in the neighborhood Of
twenty-five pounds, and are of dark,
lustrous hue. 1t was a novel expert
ence, this visit Of the 'Wilmington's
crew to the home of the rubber gath
erers, and the closest attention was
paid to the everchanging scenery as the
white cruiser steamed slowly along
through the Passes. '-Ainslee's Maya

The kentucky Cheating.

Whatever shape events in Kentucky
may take the people Of the United
States will not lose sight Of the main
point. This is the Democratic attempt
to subvert the will of voters as fully
declared at the polls. The successive
stages of the conspiracy are clearly de-
'@loped First, a majority of Demo
Gratis was placed on each election
board county and State. They man
aged the polls and returns in their own
way. But the Republican plurality was
too large to be destroyed. Taylor was
inaugurated and then the plot went for
ward in the Legislature. Members
were turned out to make room for fresh
conspirators. The boards of contest,
alleged to be drawn by lot, were some
how made Democratic by ten to one.
During the excitement attending mys-
terious murder the boards of contest
suddenly shut out the defense, and
fragment of the Legislature decreed
who should be Governor, going through
the operation twice, because, in their
haste, they had overlooked not only the
constitution of the State, but the in
famous Goebel law itself.
The conspirators against the dearest
rights of an American freeman should
halt instantly. Let there be no tricks
by piece of Legislature to go on with
the scheme to put in the Governors Of
fee a man who received at the polls a
minority Of votes. Whatever legisla-
tive junta may do, the fact remains
that an American citizen has right
to cast one vote and have it honestly
counted. When this right is struck
down and the citizen submits to the
black crime, the supremacy of the peo-
pie is at an end AssassinS of Amer1-
can liberty will find that the Constitu-
ton of the United States guarantees to
each State republican form of gov
eminent. Against the final barrier the
deliberately contrived Goebel law to
cheat the will of the people will be
dashed aside, and when the ballot is re-
spected in Kentucky the dark threat OF
civil war will disappeer.-st, Louis
Globe-Democrat.
