Colonel William j. Speer, the state
treasurer, has completed the work of
paying off the Legislative bills, and the
total cost of the session just ended

which was given by the treasurer last

bills of several special committees are
not included. The expenses of the tax
commission. the investigating commit
tee for the geological department and
the Northeastern railroad commission
will make an additional $4,000
The cost of the session of 1899 is
higher than for number of years.

NATIONAL DISGRACE.
The Burial Expenses Of Ex-President Gar
field Remain Unpaid.


The government ought TO pay its
small bills, trying TO be JUST before. IT,
becomes too generous. The Boston
Traveller says: sit can scarcely be re-
garded as other than national dis
grace that the undertaker's bill for
the funeral of President Garfield has
not been paid. The expenses of the
funeral were assumed by the nation by
a vote of congress, and then the COM
mittee in whose hands the apprOprIa~
ton was placed began to haggle over
it. The auditing committee took the
bills and proceeded to cut them here
and there, as seemed pleasing, taking
the position that only such proportion
of each bill should be paid, as they saw
fit. The uniertaker's bill for $4,000,
which was expended almost entirely,
it is said, for carriage hire and such
expenses, was presented and the un-
dertaker refused TO accept anything
less than It's full amount. For eight
years this bill has been unpaid. and
the indecent spectacle of great ma
ton refusing to discharge debt for
the burial expenses of president is
presented. Surely this is a matter
which should he attended to without
the usal accompaniment of congress
sional red tape.

one of the most perfect police systems
IN the world, with all facilities at hand
TO cope with any emergency that may
arise IN time of peace. Since the last

President Garfield small force was
