A Two. Billion Congress.

POst-Dispstch.
The Fifty-seventh Congress will go
into history as the first Congress to
appropriate more than 81, 1000, 000,-
900 for all purposes.
When the Flfty-flfth Congress ap.
propriated 81, 900, zoe, 900, the peo-
pie were startled. But there seems
to be a general acquiescence in the
larger expenditure as necessary
sequels OF our new policy Of colonial
and commercial expansion.
During President Cleveland's sec-
ond term ordinary expenditures
amounted to $500, 100000 a year,
and during Mr.. McKinley's FIRST term
they were q little above $500, O00,-
900. They are now double the latter
amount and the tendency seems to
be towards an increase. Special ap-
preparations like that for the Panama
canal are not included. Only the
ordinary expenses Of government are
reckoned.
This is the substantial sign OF o
new epoch, the first fruit of the new
departure in national policy. In
proportion to wealth andpopulation
our annual budget is greater thnn
that OF any other government on
earth.
1t will make people think. Expan.
sion was matter of sentimen grow
ing out of the quickening Of the ma,
tional consciousness following tie
unexpected events of 1898. Butnow
the bills are coming in. And they
willcontinue with no hope orexpecta-
ton Of growing any less.
Theexpediency, wisdom, righteous
ness OF this new departure may well
be questioned. But, this aside, pai-
ty policies are mainly judged by the
profit and loss account. Can the Re-
publicans be sure that their course
will be approved by the "sober Sec
ond thought OF the country?

that with his instrument he has seen
on the suns surface mountainsides
with great and precipitous rocks
which glow with prismatic colors,
mingled with the greenness OF per-
email vegetation and with a floral
radiance more beautiful than that
on earth-Beyond these mountains
he says he saw valleys and plains
where people live. He says the solar

the image Of the solar fields of color

A MEMORABLE DAY.

The celebration Of the extinction
of the State debt, to be held at the
state capital to-day, means much to
every citizen of Missouri who has q
pride and interest in the great state
in which be lives. No state in the
Union has been worse maligned,
abused and villined by a partisan
press than this great commonwealth.
For more than q quarter Of GEN.
fury this has been kept up to cripple
the state at home and discredit her
abroad. Such persistent assaults
have had q tendency to discourage
investors and prevent immigration,
and at each recurring election the
claim was set up that the price OF
confidence to eastern capital was the
change Of party control. In spite of
all this the Democratic administra.
tions have gone forward with their
wise, conservative and economical
management to the elimination OF
an enormous debt, corruptly and ex-
travagantly put upon the state by
the very party that has by disrepu-
table means attempted to drag down
her fair name in the eyes ofthe world.
At the time the Democrats took con-
troll taxes were so high as to be bur-
densome, but under it's wise manage
ment the levies were reduced, as the
debt was extinguished, until now We
have the lowest levy of any OF our
sister states, and, a consummation
devoutly to be- wished by states,
counties and municipalities, as well
as individuals, are free of bonded
debts. Can any Missourian be a fair
minded man and withhold common
dation from agents who have 80 sue
cessiully conducted their affairs?
Taxes like the dews from heaven have
fallen alike upon all property owners,
no matter to which party they may
belong and therefore all are equally
interested in the results, but certain
ly that party which came into power
during the darkest hours Of financial
troubles and have successfully steer.
ed the ship Of state through the
storms and breakers, to that heaven
ofsafety and security, beyond the debt
clouds, are deserving OF the credit,
and they will receive it at the hands
Of a just and loyal people.
tits fit and proper that the destruc.
ton of the last OF these evidences of
Republican misrule should be cele
brated amidst great rejoicing by all
the people. 1t is day that will be
memorable in the history of the
state.

proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

Sunday the Sth 20 Thursday the 18th
The days of greatest violence will be on

one. The crises of these disturbances

But those who do not prepare for hard,
winter storms, and "a great cold wave
ard blizzard between the 9th and 15th,
