THOSE OTHER EXPENSES.

tFroni Our sandys,on Correspondent
Talk about hard times in this sec.
ton led me to thinking that Il ere
were expenses that might he out
off for the financial benefit of the
town. We have not in this town a
! first class school house, that contains
all the necessary apparatus for sue.
cessful work ina school room. And
there is not Il decent sized play.
ground attached to any of the s
school buildings in tho town. All
sit almost in the road. It the State
Board of Health should inspect the
out buildings on our school grounds.
the Board would condemn every one,
with possibly one or two exceptions.
| If q move is made to build first
class school house, the movement is
promptly voted down, the people
claiming that their taxes are too
high already, and other expenses are
too great, when, in fact, they are
paying 16 times more for unneces
sary things than they do for schools
Let us see what those other ex-
penses are. First, we are support
ing hotels whose gross income is
about 1000 dollars and the question
arises, who pays it? Some will say
the travelling man and the drum
mer. The travelling man does not
travel, aud as for the drummer, he
is almost always temperance man,
so there is little paid from the above
classes to support our hotels 70
simmer tho whole thing down, we
are paying it our selves and claim
that taxes and other expenses are
keeping MS down
Other states have no hotels i'm the
rural districts or at small X. r.
stations, and if wet hotel is an
actual necessity. at the county seat,
license one or two and that would
do without having every second or
third door an entrance to hotel, or
what is worse, a saloon, as is the
case in many Of the towns in this
county
Again we are supporting church
es, and pay out about $4,000 more,
when one church, centrally located,
would answer all purposes. Thus
we are nearly paying $40 coo per
annum, ana this steady drain is now
b3ing felt, and yet the people can
not see where those other expenses
come in. Other townships are in
about the same fix. and any one
can easily find what the sum total
would be, for the county, and for
which, not dollar of financial ben
eft is derived.
In many states rural hotels are
abolished, and none permitted at
the small r. h. stations. Just look
over Sussex county and see how
many villages or r. r stations there
are without either a hotel on saloon,
and you will find them very few.
l believe this State allows a county
to vote license or no license, and if
so. let a vote be taken, and wipe out
the rural hotel and every saloon.

Secretary Hitchcock is a strong adj
vocate of Congressional legislation for
the irrigation of the arid lands of the
West. In a letter to the House Com
mittee on Public lands, the Secretary
urges the policy of public irrigation,
taking the ground that vast acre
age, capable of supporting a popu-
lation of fifty million people, should
not be allowed to remain a desert.
In support of his argument he cited
the case Of Egypt, which has in re-
cent years been practically redeemed
from condition Of bankruptcy by a
general system of irrigation.

WASHINGTON d. c.. JAN. II, 1901.
President Mckinley has resumed
his regular duties, but his condition
has warned him not work too hard
for while. AS a precautionary
measure. all his social engagements
for week or two have been cancel
ed. He shows no bad effects of his
wrestle with the gripe.
Secretary Root is now having a
turn with the grip, but his assistants
in the War Department are working
over time, so as to rush the enlist
ments under the Army Reorganiza-
tion bill, which is now in conference,
but is expected to become a law dur
ing the present week. AS there has
never been any doubt that the bill
would become a law; all the arrange
ments have been made in advance,
as far as possible.

The action of the Republican Sena-
torial caucus in deciding not to take
up the Nicaragua Canal bill until the
British government had signiiled its
intentions concerning the amended
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, is regarded
as delicate hint to the British gov
ernment, that the Senate would like
10 know as soon as possible what it
intends doing with the treaty. The
House, after passing the Postal Codi-
fication bill, will at once take up the
Naval Appropriation bill, which is
expected to be promptly passed, as
there are no features of the bill cal
culated to call forany extended debate.

Senator Perkins seldom loses an
opportunity to back up his arguments
with a story. Here is one he told,
to show why he opposed attempting
to prohibit the shipping of intoxicants
to the Philippines: "When Alaska
was a prohibition territory, everybody
was engaged in smuggling. On ev-
cry ship that went Hp to ALASKA, the
tiremen, engineers, walters and sail
Ors tried in every way to smuggle
liquor. l was the Representative of
ship that went up there and was
wrecked. She sank. We rescued
the vessel, and among the goods saw
ed were thirty barrels that formerly
contained sugar. In twelve of the
barrels there were five gallon kegs of
whiskey that had been hidden in the
sugar. The sugar had melted, but
the whiskey was still there"
Senator Aldrich, Chairman of the
Finance Committee, disposed of ali
the idle talk about the revenue re-
duetion bill being hung up in that
committee, when he said that the bill
would positively be reported to the
Senate in few days, probably this
week.
