HOW the PEOPLES MONEY GOES.
Democratic and Republican State
ments as to the Enormously In
creased Expenses of the
Federal Government in Re-
cent Years.

Washington, April 2s.-The Republi-
can and the Democratic view Of appro-
priaticns made thus far by the 58th
Congress, we're presented to the House
today by Chairman Hemenway, of
the appropriations committee, and
Representative Livingston of Georgia,
the ranking Democratic member OF
that committee.
"Gcod Government Housekeeping"
is the caption chosen by Mr.. Hemen-
way to represent his views.
: GA Congress that has done nothing
but srend money" is the heading OF
Mr.. Livingston's summary.
Mr.. Hemenway declares our National
Government is the most economically
administered of any in the civilized
world. A table to substantiate this
statement is given, showing the per
capita expenditures of the leading
nations. The highest given is New
Zealand, where the per capita ex-
pense is $50. SO, the lowest is the Unit
ed States, with per capita showing
of s7.97.
Tho total appropriations made by this
Cong ress aggregate, according to Mr..
Hemenway, s7s1, 574, ,629. Of this sum
s26, so1. 843 was to pay Deficiencies for
prior fiscal years, and s56, 500. 600 is
set aside for application to the sinking
fund. This leaves the total appropria-
tion Tor the expense of the Govern
ment for the year 1905 1898, 272, 1885,
The total estimated revenues for this
period are s7O4, 472, 060, or an excess
over appropriation or authorized ex-
penditures of Sc, 1879, 274. Basing his
opinion on the fact that the actual
expenditures of the Government are
about 5 per cent less than the appro-
p.;ations made by Congress, Mr..
Hemenway predicts surplus OF S40,
600, 600.
Mr.. Livingston in his statement
compares the expenditures of Demo
cratic Congresses with Republican
Congresses and adds:
ssThe appropriations for each of the
fiscal years 1895 and 1896, as made by
the Democratic Congress do not
materially vary, as will be seen, one
from the other, and average only s494, :
619. 6O2 for each.
"The table also shows that appro-
priations for Federal expenditures,
made under Republican administra-
tion, by a Republican Congress, for
the next fiscal year have reached the
startling sum of 's781, 574, 629, or an
increase of s286, 955, OPT over the aver
arge Of the last two years under Demo
cratic control, and within period OF
less than ten years.
st 10 not question the honesty of
these vast appropriations, either in
their aggregate amount or in their
details, but challenge the wisdom OF
the policy of the dominant party that
has made these enormous expenditures
necessary through the increase OF the
military and naval establishments, the
maintenance of which is at the expense
of needed internal improvements, such
as river and harbor works and public
-hr,i]dinos.' >,

Saved From an Epidemic.

By series of experiments which
proved how readily deep wells and
springs could experience pollution the
town of Quitman, Ca, has doubtless
been saved from the danger of an epi-
demic of disease. In this place, says
Harper's Weekly, the water supply of
the town is derived from wells, and in
planning a sewerage system it was
proposed to dispose of the public
sewerage by discharging through bore
hole into an underground stream. The
possibility that contamination might
result, however, was early suggested
and led to practical experiments being
undertaken by the UnitedStates geolog-
ical survey Of Georgia in order to
determine the matter definitely. Two
tons of salt were placed in the well
where it was planned to empty the
sewerage, and the water from the var
ious wells which had been previously
examined, especially as to their
chlorine contents, was again analyzed,
samples being taken at intervals dur
ing and some time aIter the expert
ment. It was found that the salt had
permeated all Of the wells in the
town, demonstrating conclusively that
disease germs could be readily COM
municated to the drinking water.
These experiments are in line with
some carried on in Europe several
yeras ago where it was found that
bacteria placed IN certain wells could
be detected at other sources Of water
in the vicinity, and emphasized the
Importance of carefully examining and
safeguarding water supplies under all
conditions.

CONFUSION IN RUSSIAN army.
Gar issues Orders which Must
ba BIindly 0beyed, Putting All
in Cenfusion---Infsriors to
Command Superior Officers.

S.. Petersburg, April A.-The
poor car is in helpless state, and
his orders, which must be blindly
carried ont, spell confusion in many
quarters.
By Nicholas's personal orders the
army and navy at the front has glut
Of commanders. While AlexleH is
commander-in-chiet, both General
Lenieyitch and Kpropatkin are nom
inally in command of the same form
at;ons. Kuropatkin out-ranks Alex
Jeff and will not take orders from him
ia the long run. That, eperybody is
certain Of.
OF the four corps commanders ap-
pointed by Nicholas, not single one
has had any experience whatever with
so iarye a contingent. The first ST.
berian corp has now been wlsnous 3
commander for tree weeks YET
Nicholas cannot decide upon proper
person. -,
The second army corps, so-called,
consists of one brigade only: Ine
fourth corps has no existence IN TACT.
It is pointed out that since the
beginning of the war, every com,
mannding position in the army and
nav has had one or more substitute
incnmbents. The czar also ordered
the new formation Of two new sharp
shooter brigades, number nine and ten,
for which there are neither men nor
arms, nor horses, and confusion reigns
in all departments.
It is thought that the czar fears
European complications, having been
informed Of their imsainance by Els
Danish relatives. Therefore he will
not permit the order Of battle OF ms
European troops disturbed. The order
of battle means the formations. that
eventually may take the held In the
Balkans, or against the Germans.

A Profit on the Pig.

A Pennsylvania railroad officer has
a stock farm on the outskirt Of Phila.
delptia, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
and iat recent dinner Of the Glover
Club friend of the railroader spoke
Of it, saying: "He runs it on bust
ness basis. Sometimes he makes
money out of it. Last year he bought
a pis. for s27, fed it forty bushels Of
corn at 81 bushel, and then sold il
for S3l. so.

remarked to me the day after the
animal was taken away.
But I protested, how about
the forty bushels of corn, at 81 &
bushel, that you had fed him?'
Oh,r commented the gentleman
farmer, I didn't expect to make any
thing on the corn -

It is pointed out that the officers on
board the Kinshui-Maru appreciated
the situation by accepting imprison-
ment rather than death.
In the case of the smaller japanese
transport sunk by the torpedo boats at
Won San. the crew were sent ashore
because there WAS no Accommodations
for them on the torpedo boats.
The crew of the Japanese steamer
Nakamura- Maru, as we'll as the Japa-
nese of the Kinshiu- -Maru who sur
rendered, have been taken to the Rus
sian cruisers.
The admiralty here processes ignor-
ance as to the future plals of Admiral
Yeszen but it is believed he IS in
communication with Vladivostock by
wireless telegraphy and is not likely to
be surprised by the japanese squadron
sent to prevent his return.
st. Petersburg is loaded with rumors
regarding the sinking of the japanese
military transport, the Kinshiu-Maru
One report has it that $500 men were
aboard the transport when she went
down, but the admiralty insists that
there was only 200
It is said that the emperor is highly
indignant over the affair and that he
will relieve Yeszen and order him to
be courtmartailed. This report lacks
confirmation in responsible naval
circles, where it is reiterated that no
other course could be pursued and that
the admiral only fred when the Japa-
nese categoricaily refused to surrender
and adopted hostile attitude.
