If It were not that the Federal Con-

The same arguments that are brought

Red-Headed Boys and Girls.

English scientists have been col
lecting statistics regarding the apti-
tude Of schoOlchildren. Among the
interesting results Of their observations
are facts which show relation be-
tween color of the skin and hair and
mental proficiency. They say that
the authenticated boys are generally
at the head Of their recitation classes,
and that blond girls are the best at
learning.
The auburn and blond girls come
out best in arithmetic. but are not
good at composition. Dark-haired chill
dren of both sexes seem to have bet
ter imaginative qualities than the fair
ones. and have much better style in
composition. The dark boys behave
better than the fair, and are more SEN
sitive to praise or blame. Probably
the reason is that the auburn and
blond children, being Of Flemish origin.
are more phlegmatic than the dark
Ones.-Philadelphia North American.

Extravasauce of Congress.

The people of the United States have
become SO used to hearing about mil
lions that but few really appreciate
what large sum million dollars is.
and yet to even count it, at the rate
of one for each second of time. would
require over 277 hours. or nearly 23
days Of II hours each of continuous
mental work. The Congress of the
United States. which has just ad-
journed, voted 81 1,554, los, ,514 during its
two years work. This sum would re-
quire 80, 5,742 days to count, or 9S years
of IL hours a day. with no time for
eating or even speaking. 1t is esti-
mated that One-third of this enormous
sum, which is beyond the computing
Of any man during his life, is either
wasted or used for purposes for which
the taxpayers do not receive any ben
eft.
1t is only four years ago. during war
time, that a billion dollar Congress
was denounced, by even Republican
newspapers. as prOfligate Of the peO-
pies money, and we were told that
new taxes would have to be imposed
il the extravaganza was continued. For
the year ending June 30th, 1897, the
appropriations for all purposes We're
$500, ,S62 627, but that was the last
year appropriations were made by a
Democratic Congress. Now more than
double that large amount is to be
spent. The Republican administration
has increased the expense Of running
the government more than four hun
dred millions of dollars In seven years.
II this extravaganza continues it will
require in the year 1910 that the Six
ty-first Congress must appropriate over
three billions of dollars to keep up the
pace that the Fifty-seventh Congress
has set. Can the people stand this tre
mendous drain on their earnings? Is
it not necessary to take stock and fig
ure out just where the leaks are. and
retrench accordingly? The business
man, the farmer and the mechanic
who have launched on a sea Of extrav
agance are obliged sooner or later to
steer their bark closer to the wind and
seek safe harbor from the financial
storm that surely follows fair weather.
Every man, woman and child is now
taxed over ten dollars every year to
support this extravagant Republican
government. That means that each
head of family pays over fifty dol
lars, which is more than doubled in
an indirect way by the enormous
profits which the trusts and combines
extcrt through the working Of the pro-
tective tariff If the cities and towns
of the United States We're run on the
same extravagant plan that the Fed
eral government is. there would be Il
general going into bankruptcy.

Free Coal and Waves

The party of protection has always
claimed that If the duty was taken off
coal the wages Of the miners would be
reduced to the pauper scale Of Europe.
But late events prove the fallacy of
this argument, for since the duty has
been removed an enormous tonnage
being impOrted-60,O00 tons being on
board ships lying in Boston harbOr, on
one day n week or two ago-the coal
operators have agreed to pay higher
wages TO the miners. The Republicans
will have to invent some other fallacy
or the people will be demanding that
beef and clothes and other necessities
of life be also put on the free list.

Republican Trust Busting.

The Republican members Of Con-
gress may be backward i'm enacting
laws that the people demand or de-
sire, but when they come to creating
new offices with fat salaries their in
dustry is unquestioned. Having estab
lished the new Department Of Com
merce and Labor, of course it had to
be provided with officials and clerks
and money to pay them. and other ex-
penses. There are thirteen bureaus.
which are already provided for by ap-
preparations already made. Mr.. Cor
telyou, the new Secretary. has fur
nished an estimate to Congress for the
other three bureaus, which are neces-
sary under the new law, and asks for
5000, 900 for salaries and nearly mil
lion dollars for various expenses. No
doubt all that he asks Congress to pro-
vide is necessary If a real trust-bust-
ing department is intended. but until
the Republican leaders are assured
that there will not be any too strenu-
GUS work in that direction. there will
be no such eXtravagant sum voted
as Mr.. Cortelyou asks for. The trusts
