WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Expenditures of the Fifty-SSveath
Congress Justified by the
Country's Nseds.

A few years ago-it seems but yes
terday-the appropriations of a re
publican congress aggregated about
sl,O00,0 100000. The democratic party
sought to make campaign issue of the
fact. In the press and from the stump
the country rang with denunciationso of
republican extravaganza" and of the
'billion-dollar congress"
To these attacks Speaker Reed re-
tponded with the brief remark that
this had become ''biliion-dollar coun-
try. Common sense men appreciated
the force of the argument, but the
democratic party continued to rave.
Then democratic majority appeared
in congress. and was forced by prac-
teal experience 10 learn something of
the size and needs OF this nation. And
behold, that democratic congress was
also "billion-dollar congress" SAYS
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
While the Spanish war did not in
spire the democratic party with cour-
age to face the task OF dealing con-
structiveiy with the consequences OF a
conflict for which its representatives
in congress had clamored. IL did at
least open democratic eyes n little TO
the dimensions of the United States
as measured 10y national expenditures.
Even the stunted democratic magma
ton managed to grow just little.
Thus il came about that when SEN
| ator Allison. in the closing hours Of
the Fifty-seventh congress. announced
that it's appropriations had oggrega ted
S1,554. los, 5l4. he was able to add that
not only had the people of the country
| Endorsed this expenditure as necessary,
but also that the opposite political
party had concurred in it, The demo-
cratic members, in fact. had come to
understand that this is not only bill
lion-dollar, but even a billion-and-a.
half-dollar country.
The expenditures of the Fift,-sev-
enth congress exceeded those of the
Fifty-siXth by S113.619OSO. or this
S50,00O,0O0 goes to begin the isthmian
canal, about $4,000. 900 To improve the
postal service, especially in the mat
ter of rural free delivery. and the rest
Tor rivers and harbors. for which the
FiNty-siXth congress did much less
than usual. And the people are glad
10 have their money spent for these
purposes.
The democratic party learns very
slowly, and often seems to have for
gotten everything it was supposed TO
have learned. But il has at least
learned that there is nothing disgrace
ful, but quite the reverse. i'm spending
your money for things that YOU need
and Tor your own and others welfare.

A DENIAL THAT EVADES.
brynnr willy Statement Regarding
His Conte mpIated Course inthe
1904 Convention.

MT. Bryan was recently quoted to
have denied the published report that
be had declared his intention to lead
bolt from the next democratic conyeu-
ton If the cons ervative element should
secure control and proceed 10 reor-
ganlzation of the party on platform
not including the essential planks Of
the Kansas City platform. But his
denial is peculiar, says the Albany
journal.
Mr. Bryan did not say that he would
not bolt the convention, but ONLY Ire
said that he did not say he would.
He added: Never will you find the
gold democrats capturing any demo
cratic convention of national impor-
tance. The very IDEA is absurd
1T may be inferred from this that
Mr.. Bryan has not directly threatened
to bolt the convention if the reorgani-
lation faction should gain control.
merely because he deems il 10 be i'm
possible for the occasion for bolt to
arise. He has not said that he would
not bolt il that which he declares to be
impossible should nevertheless come
to pass.
Mr.. Bryan Will have TO make a clear
er, more definite statement before The
suspicion Will be allayed that change
OF control Of the party would cause
him TO place himself af the head Of
those who would follow him out Of The
regular democracy, and set up party
Of his own
After all that he has said acain4t
those democrats who have opposed the
declarations and principles offhc Kan
sas City platform. it seems inconceiv-
RbIe that he would ever bring himself
to join them and work with them.

NOT BUYING ODD wARsHIps.
Net q" Acquire the ships Being
Built for Argentina aad ChiIi.

The German navy department. after
considering the proposal that Germany
purchase the four battleships being
constructed for Argentina and Chilli in
England and Italy. has decided not to
do SO, for two reasons. First, because
the government is not willing. in view
of the present state OF the imper rial
finance, TO ask the reichstag for the
Sls.50O.OO0 required; second. because
the general staff Of the navy does not
wish To incorporate into the German
navy guns of different calibers. and
turret machinery and other essential
features of warships which are not
similar To those in use on German
board-built vessels. 1t is pointed out
that the present homogencity of the
navy would be impaired were the four
warships 10 be acquired by Germany,
rs the gunners can now Toe changed
from ship To ship without loss of their
efficiency. But if the four foreign
built vessels were taken over with
their armament separate stocks of am
munition and differently drilled crews
would be necessary. 1t is also assert
ed that the construction OF all four of
the ships is so far advanced that the
German constructors would be unable
10 change the plans.

Big Wreck on Big Four.

Indianapolis, Ind, October 91.-A
special train on the Big Four bearing 954
passengers from Layfayette, including
several hundred students of Purdue Uni.

ing, near Riverside Park on the edge OF

from the wreck and forty passengers
were injured, "a of them seriously,
Among the dead are several members of
the Purdue University football team,
which was to play Indiana University for
the State championship here this after
noon.
At gravel pit switch near 18th street,
a switch engine with q cut of coal cars
collided with tho passenger train. The
passenger engine and first three coaches
were almost totally destroyed. The first
coach was crushed to splinters, the
second telescoped and thrown down an
embankment 10 feet high, while the
third was overturned and thrown across
the track. There is confusion as to what
caused tho accident, each engineer in
tisting that he had the track and did not
know of tho other train. The crash of
the two trains threw the coal cara
through the first two coaches. Under
this pile of debris were fifty or more
students of the university. All the
young mon killed were i'm the first coach.
which was reduced to kindling wood.
They were found lying tangled and
bleeding with the injured pinned against

E. l.. Archer has been sowing wheat
and oats, especially the latter. He has a
fine stand on his first sowing. He saws
that where he has used the disc plow he
finds no trouble in plowing even where
the ground is dry. If you have no disc
plow get good turn plow, followed
with diamond point tongue plow will
do excellent work. Prepare your land
well for small grain. Spare no pains.
Sow oats before the 10th of November If
possible and put in your wheat before
the goth. Now and then wheat does we'll
sown December 20 to January 10, but it
will generally fail. There has been frost
enough to kin the fall crop Of the Hes
sian fly. AS to varieties of wheat the
Red May is the earliest. The Blue Straw
is popular variety in this State and
Georgia. 1t is generally better to wait
until the ground is moist enough to
bring up the small grain at once. This
year one cannot afford to waits 1t may
rain continually when it does set in.
Sow at once anc be ready for the rain
