Remarkable Pullet.

Princeton has pullet that is a
record breaker. She was Matched

6 commenced to lay and produced an
egg each day until Aug. 81, when she
resigned her position as champion egg
layer and commenced setting. The
owner of this enterprising pullet is
Amos Chadbourne. He says that the
chances are good for the pullet being
the proud mother of nest of chicks
by the time she is six months old.

Big Business.

The total number of fares collected
by the Street Railway company dur
ing state fair week has eclipsed that
of any previous year. The number
this year was 2,497,2 59, as against
2,265,032 for last year, and the only
other year that even approximates
these figures is 1896, due to the G.. A.
r. convention, when 2,2O6,132 fares
were collected.
These figures prove the ever in
creasing popularity of the Minnesota

were thirty.three million dollars; this year,
thirty-nine million dollars. This increase is
altogether unexpected. The officials of the
treasury cannot account for it, nor can they do
more than guess how long it will continue. All
calculations have been upset. The figures
showing big deficit for the year have been
laid aside.
Those charged with the duty of reckoning
how the balance sheet will stand have given up
in despair. Customs receips is not the only
thing that worries them. They are not sure
whether the forty. million.dollar Panama canal
money will have to be spent, nor the money
for the Danish West Indies. There is no official
opinion whether there will be surplus or def
cit next June. The loss by repeal OF war taxes
will amount to sixty-fve million dollats. If
the customs receipts continue at the present
rate, this will be recouped, and instead of
deficit, there may be another surplus.

Although there are signs of eight" money

AS there has been no occasion for resort to
any of these expedients, treasury officials are
now hopeful that the little furry of demand for
crop and speculation money may be easily
weathered.
Notwithstanding the fears of treasury off,
cials that, on account of the repeal of the war
taxes and the heavy appropriations by congress,
they might soon be confronted with deficit,
no such thing is in sight now. Although the
expenditures so far this year have exceeded the
receipts by nearly ten million dollars, the out
look now is favorable that, by the end of the

UNCLE SAM FAVORS MORE BANKS.
Gives Banks the Use of l2S Millions.

From Chicago Record Herald
Uncle Sam is the greatest money-lender in
the country. If it were not for his enormous
loans through bank depositaries, the business
men of the United States would find it impos'
sble to get hold of enough money to carry on
their affairs.
The government has on deposit with the var-
ious banks, to-day, the snug sum of 1913 million
dollars. This is virtually lent to the business
interests of the country 1t is money which
the government has collected in the way of
taxes, but having no immediate need for it, is
willing to leave it in the hands of the people
for use AS long as the government has sur
plus, and can leave funds in the banks, it will
do So Treasury officials, as we'll as business
men, are dieading the possibility that the gov
ernment revenues will soon fall below expendi-
lures, leading inevitably to a contraction of the
currency.
During the last five years there has been
wonderful increase in the amount of govern
ment money in national bank depositaries. In
1907, only slxty.6ve banks were designated as
such depositaries, and the amount of money
placed with them was only sixteen million dol
lars. Now, there are 500 bank depositaries, and
they have an aggregate of t28 million dollars
of government money in their possession.
These depositaries are in every state and terri
tory except Alaska.
There is g.eat rivalry among banks through
out the country for the privilege OF handling
government deposits. Political influence of all
sorts is brought to bear to secure the much
coveted "designation."
The sum which Uncle Sam now has on de-
posit with the 500 designated banks is the

THE other day, the Topeka Herald said, ed
itorially, that there is no slander attached to
the reform school at Topeka. In the same
issue, in anothtr column, the Herald tells OF all
sorts of trouble at the reform school. 1t tells
of the wholesale resignation of employees, who
tell several kinds of stories about the superin-
tendent. 1t is claimed that the boys are almost
starved to death, while the officers live on the
fat of the land. Miss Rose Kennedy, who was
ia charge of the laundry, was discharged be-
cause she objected to the boys 70 I'd.

SECRETARY SHAW, in his latest campaign
speech, says: "The protective tariff is the
parent of conditions that make it profitable for
capital to combine" Yet, in the very next
breath, he declares that he will not admit that
the tariff is the mother of trusts. If Mr.. Shaw
will tell the people what more than hair
splitting difference there is, he will solve the
problem of what difference there is between
tweedle.dee and tweedle-dum.

The Joy of South Africa.
Opie Read in Chicago American.

Opie Read in Chicago American.
DISPATCHES from South Africa tell of the
ecstatic jubilation in that country incident upon
the coronation of Edward VII. Beers who,
half-starved and almost naked, fought and bled
with the fag-end of dying liberty, in exulta-
ton threw up their hats to "Hang them on
the horns of the young moon," the English
would have the world belive.
Powder converted subjects of noth-eaten
monarchy, how joyously did they receive the
decree of their eternal enslavement! When
the articles CT republics death had been
signed, the King referred to the victims as ''my
new Subjects" and from the land of the over
powered came flashing the words, "Hail to our
King!'
The records of a new and heroic nation are
to be expunged, the democratic chair of a re-
public thrown into the lumber pile, and across
the pathway leading to the council house there
must ever lie the dark shadow of the scepter.
But we are told that the hands that lighted
upon the mountain top the watch-6res of de-
spair-that these hands kndled coronation
flames, and that in the glare stood rugged men,
shouting the name of Edward.
How hard they work to beat the golden dust
out of the old red cushion of royalty. How
they bow themselves and strain to make us Ge-
lieve that tine hand at the throat CT republic
was a clutch inspired by Providence. To pre-
vent this crime of total extinction somehow
did not seem to lie within the province of other
republics. Power smiled upon power while
weakness struggled and died.
Every nation knew that those rude people
did not stand in the way of civilizations ad-
vancement. But greed demanded that they
should be crushed and they were crushed; and
now the insidious spirit Of England seeking to
square things with world which, after while,
may begin to think, forges sentiment and sends
out reports that the Beers are not only recon-
ciled but exultant, in the fact that their ruler,
thousands of miles away, is at last successfully
crowned
In the ancient time, war was followed by
famine. In this the day of plenty, war is fol-
lowed by hypocrisy.
Much has been said of the generosity with
which the Beers have been treated since the
surrender. "Why,' say the British, "look
what we have given them"
1t reminds us of the old story. A Negro was
standing on the bank of river. white man
came up and said:
"See that drift wood? Well, you catch it,
cord it up and I'll give you half"
The proposition seemed liberal enough, and
after the Negro, with his own rope, boat and
hook, had caught the wood and corded it up,
the white man came along and divided with
| him.
