ENORMOUS EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT.

It has only been a few years since we first heard of the billion dol ar congress and it will only be a few more years until a single congress will hand over two billions of dollars to meet the expenses of government When the billion dollar mark was reached the late Thos. B. Reed re marked that We had a billion dollar country" The spirit of economy seems to be at low ebb these days in the halls of congress and money is shov- eled from the treasury with but little regard for what purpose it is wanted or as to what would be a necessary amount
 The congress which expired on March passed the billion and half mark, the appropriations for the two sessions agregatiag s1554,10S,154. The total appropriations for the Fifty-sixth congress were S1, ,440, ASS. 43S; or S113.- s19,076 less than the appropriations of the congress which has just adjourned
 The appropriations for the session just closed aggregated S753, ASA ,01S. No itemized statement of these appropria- tions has been published as yet, but the itemized statement of expenditures for the last session is given as fol lows.

 A compromise agreeable to the polit- iians has been reached on what they are pleased to term a primary election bill According to the provisions it is necessary for all political parties to select delegates on the same day by ballot the delegates to attend the con vention and nominate candidates. It is not a new measure by any means, and is so much like the present prac- tice that it is impossible to tell the diff ference. The compromise is to be re ported by the committee soon-Gazette

AS OAAAS AAOhSS -CGi mug Dl ouNu O8 the federal government is the Post sfice Department The appropriation for this department at the last ses- sion was s153. 4O1 .549, but as the an- nual earnings and expenditures of this department now almost balance each other this amount should be deducted in computing the actual cost of running the government. The heaviest increase in the last few years is in the expendi- lures for the army and navy In 1889 the expenditures for the army were s23,193, 392; for the navy s56 6,098, 783. In 1902 these expenditures had mount ed up to $115,734. .O49 for the army and GS.101, ,791 for the navy. The expendi- ptres at the last session therefore show a decrease for the army and a slight increase for the navy.
 The appropriations fer pensisas in 1902 were $145, 5,245.2 .23o; at the last ses- sion the appropriations for pensions footed up s13e s47.6 600. indicating that the high-water mark for pensions, which is s15s, .342, the figures for 1893, has probably been passed.

cago.
Jarvis Kennedy, the hero of Gertrude
Potter Daniels story, was a young
man of considerable experience. In
the beginning he was thief, because
he was poor and miserable and wanted
to get away from Chicago. No one
can blame him for the latter desire.
Then he killed a man who saw him
steal, but did not know he was MUIR
dered until the next day. when he
starts for California, and then is
haunted. not so much by remorse for
his deed as by fear of pursuit. His
after life, covering 400 pages, is in con-
nectlon with the cruelties of trusts
and of commerce, as regulated by mod
ern conditions. The book is we'll writ
ten, and there is a great deal in it,
but somehow it fails to convince the
reader. Gertrude Potter Daniels knows
quite bit, but she is young and needs
time to give her many sides of ques-
tions she sees only from one. There
is the promise of greatness, but that
is all.

One of the recent literary novelties,
Of which there are SO few, is the real
conversation between persons of note
which appear from time to time in the
Critic, sone of the best literary maga>
zines published anywhere. This month
1T is carried on between Lucas Malet
(Mrs. Harrison) and William Archer,
and pertains to the novel and its mod
ern form. Mrs. Harrison seemed to
think the novel the best vehicle for
artistic portrayal of character, while
Mr.. Archer contends for the dramatic
form as higher. The conversation is
not particularly notable except for one
remark made by Mr.. Archer: Il would
rather" he says, write one great play
than van load of successful
novels" Mr.. Archer is not alone in
this; there are many novelists and
other writer's whose ambitions lie in
this direction, and, though it is not so
very hard to write a play, it is very
difficult in the present state of dra-
matte matters to get a hearing. In
Ainslee's Magazine for the present
month there is a very interesting pa
per on play writing by man who has
been struggling for years for recogni-
