New Albany Will Remain "Dry."

New Albany, which at ore time
supported two hotels. will remain
dry town, according to the decree
OF the Bradford court which refused
to grant the re-application for IL
censes of Henry l.. Middendorf for
the Exchange hotel, and Archie

Remonstrances were filed against

Government expenses naturally
grow with population, and period of
prosperity brings larger expendi-
lures than hard times in all corpora
tions. But the expansion in the
total of the expenditures of the Fed
eral Government by currant appro-
priation bills does not carry justlfi-
cation for the claim that thee Fifty
ninth Congress, which has adjourn

Aside from the fact that it is short
of $4,000, 100000 by $ll5,0O0, ,OOS,
this total is gained by including all
the canal appropriations, which are
upward of $50 900, 900, and are paid
by bonds. 1t includes a post Office
bill, which runs for both sessions

solely to the expansion of the country

Der Of whose expenditures will not
be made during the next fiscal year.
If all these are deducted, the act
ual appropriation for two sessions is
the neighborhood of 81 400, ,000, 900,
and will probably be somewhat less
than this.
Government, under the pressure of
public opinion, has undertaken

salaries have risen and public W
