BEARS AND WOOL.

1t will not do to assume that Pres-
dent Roosevelt's time in the Rocky
Mountains is exclusively occupied in
killing bears and catamounts, says the
Philadelphia Record On looking
around him he sees that great syndi
Gates are pasturing sheep ON govern
ment ranges at rental of about two
cents an acre and making two profit
able clips of wool year. He stes at
the same time, on collating the data on
this subject, that the domestic product
of wool and the combined foreign I'M
ports tina. are to come in over the high
tariff wall are wholly iusutlicient for
the woolen clothing of the American
people, and that in consequence the
supply of pure wool must 0e eked out
with cotton, shoddy and other adult
Grants. POSSESS of this information
Pre- ident Roosevelt on his return will
be prepared 10 emphasize still more
his recommendation for a reform Of
the tariff; and above all for a substan-
tial reduction, if not for immediate al d
total repeal of the burbarous duties on
wool and woolens.

The Broken Wheat Corner.

W. Gates and his crowd were at

were 'cornered" in great shape.
Many millions of dollars were lost.
The collapse of the wheat initiation
is bad for the spectators and
good for the country 1t is be-
lated recognition of the tact that
in spite of short crop last year
there is a larger supply of wheat
available than there was a year
ago. This is due to the restriction
of exp ortS of both wheat and flour
and the curtailment of conSump.
tion by high prices.
The present situation eXempli-
fieS anew the wisdom of a promi

some years ago warned the wheat
traders to beware of the tail end

AS already indicated these

In character are the result of the
Presidents listening 20 the rec.
concentrations of men whom he
knows to be guided by any i'm.

ones, the credit of their country

he still appoints men on the rec
ommendation of Senator Platt. of
New York. although in one in.
stance three of the most promi
Dent members of the Senate were
compelled to go to the White
House and make representations
regarding man appointed to a
nigh office on Platt'S recommen.
datlon, which resulted in the
Presidents Immediately with
drawing the nomination. In an
olher instance, the President
promised to appoint man to an
important position in Washington
on Platt's urging. Prominent
members of the Senate went to
the White House and told the
President that the man could not
be trusted. The President was
compelled to break his promise
and yet the President has this
spring appointed this same man
to an Important consular position.
1t must be admitted that in the
main the Presidents appointeeS
are tit men, but that he will oc,

a Washington dispatch says:
administration officials do not
hesitate to express their concern
at the growing treasury deficit,
The excess Of expenditures over
receipts for the present fiscal
year reached the surprising sum
of $50, ll6. 434 on Saturday last.
At this time last year there was
an excess of receipts over expen-
ditureS of ?2.4l4,005.
There are only two months and
one week more OF the fiscal year,
and treasury officials now have
no hope that the deficit will grow
less. To say that they are dis.
appointed and surprised at the
situation is expressing it mildly.
The deficit for the first three
weeks of the month of April was
S5,j40. 295. 1t is not expected to
he so large aS this in May aud
June. but under present condl
tionS it is thought that the de
ticit for the year wll reach at
least $50, 900.
Meanwhile the official iuuketS
are going on at rate never
before known in the governments
history. The eyes Of the admin
i>trati0n are just beginning to
open TO this fact, and Secretary
OF the Treasury Shaw recently
put his foot down hard on pro

most pretentiouS excursion of
this character ever undertaken.
The party will include two score
of people altoget her, largely
made up of SenatorS and Repre-
SentatlveS.
In addition to this. five car
loads OF officials will be taken
across the continent to Portland,
Oregon. to attend tie opening OF

governments expense. Members
of this party applied to the tleaS-
urN for revenue cutter to take

The enormous treasury deficit
means the beginning OF IA cam
paign in the late summer and
early fall on the part of President
Roosevelt and tue administration
officials in favor of legislation
that will increase the government
revenues In the opinion of
treasury officials there can be no
hope of reducing expenditures in
the near future. The only renk

a reduction of certain tariff
schedules tor the purpose of in

GREAT COFFEE
DRINKERS.
But AMERICANS ARE BEHIND IN
THE OTHER DRINKS.
RUSSIA THE WHISKY KING.
England is Fond of Tea, France
Takes Wine in Hers, While
Germany Sticks to Beer.

Washington, April 20.-Accord-
ing to statistics collected during
the past 10 years and published
today by the Department of Com
merce and Labor the United
States is the first in the consump-
tion of coffee, England first in the
consumption of tea, Russia first in
the consumption of whisky and
other distilled spirits. France first
in the consumption of wine and
Germany first in the consumption
of beer.
Of coffee the worlds consump-
tion is approximately 2. go, 900, 900
pounds. In this the United States
holds the first place, with a total
consumption in 1904 of 96l, 900, 900
pounds; Germany second. 397, ,000.-
600 pounds, aud France third, 16S,-
600, 900 pounds.
Statistics OF beer consumption
are available for only eight couu-
tries, with a total of ), ,573, 600. 900
gallons annually. Germany had
a total consumption of l. 1873, 600,
600 gallons; the United Kingdom,
l,501, 600, 900; the United States,

600; France. $4,000. 900; Hun
gary, 80, 333, 900, and Italy, 6, 750,

Consumption of whisky. brandy
and other distilled spirits for
which statistics are available
amounted to 6S7.000, 900 gallons,
that for Russia being set down at
ia. 600, 600 gallons; German V
second. 124, 333. 900. and b e
United States third. l21. 900, 600.
Wine consumption amounts to
5000, 600 900 gallons annua | ly,
principally in the Latin countries.
Per capita consumption of vari-
ous beverages in the principal
countries presents some sharp
contrasts. Thus in the per capita
consumption of tea the United
States is credited with only 1.134
pounds against 6 pounds for the
United Kingdom.
In the per capita consumption
of coffee the relative rank of the
countries is: United States. IL. 70
pounds; Germany, 6.65 pounds;
France, 4.29 pounds.
Per capita con mptlOn Of
whisky and spirituOus liquors is
far more un form in the countries
under consideration. Aust a
leads with 500 gallons per capita,
Hungary has . 10 gallons and
Germany oil gallons those three
being the only countries with an
annual consumption in excess of 9
gallons per capita. The United
States consumes l 40 gallons per
capita the [ nited Kingdom 1.3S
gallons, France 1.S5 gallons and
Russia 1.26 gallons.

indicate that as an administrator his

failed most signally TO live up to his
advance notices. The country was
given to understand when he went to
the Philippines that he was a phe-
nomenon in the way of executive abiI-
ity and devotion to duty. Nevertheless
his administration of the affairs ia the
islands developed nothing more ma
pressive than the urgent necessity for

acid is one of the best purifiers

Lime is in itself invaluable as a
cleanser, and when sprinkled on
cellar floors and in damp places
will absorb the moisture and keep
the air dry and sweet. Wash the
