1t is very annoying to the admins
tration that it has been, SO far unable
to spend all the moneys collected by
it's war taxes and from its Cuban rcve-
nucs. 1t hopes, however, by its new
plan OF plural salaries to reduce the
cumbersome surplus to q very small
minimum. BY this plan it is hoped to
avoid expensive and useless legislation
of repeating existing laws, and at the
same time it will put those officers on
double duty collecting their sundry
salaries, thereby making them earn
their wages. Great are the resources
of Imperialism.

What queer bedfellows politics are!
However, hot times are en- tapis in the

knife up their sleeve for Hanna's pet

hope that since these worthy bosses

ing, may be all used, or good deal of
it may be wasted. But ingenious
manufacturers have learned that the
hard hull has many uses. It can be
ground fine and used to adulterate
brown sugar. 1t may not add any
to the sweetness of the sugar, but it
adds to the weight and is entirely
harmless. ItSlnay be ground a little
coarser, and is of use to make coffee
weigh more. The hulls may be ground
