Whom EIks Thank.

Owing to an accident Sunday morn
ing to the linotype machine. portion
OF the program OF the Elk's memorial
service was cut out. In the portion cut
out was mention OF those who had died
also complimenting Mrs. Charles L.
Houston, who had charge Of the pro-
gram, for its excellence. Several num-
bers we're Also omitted. The fault was
with the Astorian Office and not with
any individual. That the program
was the best ever produced at II me-
mortal service, and the especial credit
was due to Mrs. Houston, everyone
who attended the services will con-
cede. No one has ever worke more
faithfully or taken such an interest in
behalf Of the Elks as Mrs. Houston,
and she is deserving OF the credit for
its success. This statement was pdfed
to the program in Sundays issue, which
was inadvertently cut off, and an ac-
count of the service appears In another
column.

UNDER TAMMANY,


erned City in tho World.
New York under Tammany Hal
mayor has the most expensive city
government on record. According Il
Mayor McCicllan's first budget II Will
cost New York city sllO. 500 900 to con-
duct its municipal affairs In 1906
There are In the neighborhood OF a.
900, 900 inhabitants In New York city
at this moment, allowing literally for
the gain which has been made IN these
days OF republican prosperity, the
population IN 1900 being 3.437 900, No
other people In the world pay anything
like this sum- per capita, for the ex-
penses Of their government.
Canada's 100000 people pay $52.-
900, 900 for the running OF their govern
ment for 1904, Mexlco's 100000 pay
SOS. 900. 900 for like service, and Bra
zl's 100000 dishurse ssO,O00.O0O for
this object None Of the other coun-
tries in the western hemisphere come
anywhere near Mexlcos total. Bel
fgium, the Netherlands Switzerland.
Sweden Norway and Portugal occupy
places OF considerable prominence on
the worlds map. All Of them have n
larger population than New York City
All OF them, on account OF the neces-
stiles OF defense have TO place them
selves under heavy tax burdens. yet
none OF them pays as much for govern
ment as do the people OF the Ameri-
can metropolis. In her various trlbu-
tary states and colonial possessions
Turkey has about 100000 people,
and some Of these have aspirations
for liberty which lead the home gov
ernment a pretty strenuous life; yet
Abdul Hamid does not exact quite so
much tribute for the expense Of gov
ernment as does Mayor George B. Nc
Clellan's regime.
The mlkado reigns over 100000
people who have been preparing for
war for many years, and with a good
deal Of effectiveness, as Is shown by
their achievements In Manchuria In
the past nine or ten months; yet their
government cost them only Sl22,000, 900
in 1903; or at our recent rate OF In
crease, what New York City will cost
in 1908 Back In Jackson's days this
county began to attract considerable
attention from the world at large, but
the cost Of running New York Clty's
government at the present moment Is
three times as great as that Of man
aging the government Of the United
States In old Hlckory's time At the
time that Buchanan stepped out OF
power in 1851 the cost OF the United
States government with its 32,0O00OO
of people was s66,OOOOOO as compared
with the $l1O,5OO,0OO which New York
City's 100000 will pay in 1So5,-Les-
lies weekly.
