Tlr. BristOW Nominated.

J. L. Brlstow who was too good man to hold
important positions under the general government
has been nominated by the republicans of Kansas
Tor the United States senate, over Chester A. Long,
present incumbent and listed as an undesirable
senator by newspapers of reformatory tendencies
MIR. Brlstow was fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral during Rooseves first administration and while
IN that position he turned loose more department
scandals than Pandora's box would have contained
and several of the subordinate officers of the de-
partfnent were sent to prison.
through his exposures number of congressman
became implicated in Irregularities mostly pertain
ing 10 appointments, and they made it so unpleasant
1or the man who was finding out things that he ten
dered his resignation.
he then was appointed to investigate the CONNER
c1al possibilities of the Panama canal and while on
that duty the Hartman railroad trust made his re-
tlrement desirable
he returned to his home at Saline, Kansas and
the apprecative citizens of the state have called
upon him to represent them in the senate When he
succeeds Mr.. Long, the champions of the interests
will lose vote

Currency Law to Stand.

Wall street which receives advance information
on important congressional intentions and federal
court DECISIONS is advised that Senator Aldrich has
concluded that the emergency currency measure en-
acted by the last congress will not be succeeded by
perfected law for the protection of the country
against panics
Mr. Aldrich has permitted the predatory interests
to know that, at best the law may only be amended
in particulars and it is conclusion that,
if amended Wall street will direct the tendency of
the amendments
The country given to understand that the
Aldrcf- Vreeland law containing the worst features
of conflicting senate and house bills was only tenn
porary expedient to last until joint congressional
commission of eighteen members could make tour
of Europe at public expense and investigate cur
rency problems
After that the commission was to have sugaring-
off and the product of its mental laboratory was to
be the condensed extract of the financial wisdom of
the old country and the country currency law
that would render industry immune forevermore
from the experiences of October, 1907
Such was the promise held out to the bourgeois
and the proletarat, while the upper crust sucked
its thumbs and said, yum, yum. The commission
will go to Europe and examine some of the intel
lectual skulls in catacombs and abbeys and when con-
gress reconvenes the currency measure will be
placed in DR.. Aldrich's ward of the senatorial hos
pital, where it will not even have baby
Some skin abrasons will be plastered and it will
be placed on the statutory shelf and when trouble
again assails the public it will be more completely at
the mercy of Wall street than it was during the
hold-up of last fall and winter
The promise to the country that the Aldrch-Vree-
land act was but temporary resort was made for
the purpose of pacying the people until after they
had cast their ballots Evidently that was the only
intention for Mr. Aldrich somewhat prematurey per-
mts Wall street to understand that there is to be
no specific change in the statutory monstrosty pro-
duced by himself and Mr. Vreeand

Expenses Exceed Income.

The business statistics of the general government
are now dealing exclusively with deficiencies, the
good times assured by official spellbinders having
effect on the public revenues
During the month of July the total receipts of
the government were $751; 1000 and the expendit-
ures $77,O3S 900, a shortage for the month of
$24,868,000. But for payment of five and a half
million during the month of the Central Pacifc's
Indebtedness to the government, the deficit would
have been more than $3OOOOO0O
During the month the receipts from customs ag-
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-08-15

gregated over $8OoOOoo less than for July, 1907 and
from internal revenue about $1,0OO,00O less.
AS to expenditures, those account of civil and
miscellaneous items $20,6OOOOO, or over $4,000
600 greater than for JULY 1907. On account of war
the payments aggregated $1S,O74ooo, or nearly $4-
ooo 900 in excess of July last year The navy pay
ments were about the same for July 1907 being
$9273,OOO.
For the fiscal year that closed the 3Oth of June
last the report of the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. shows decrease in cash receipts amounting to
$17,99So72 from the receipts of the previous year
The total income from this source was $251,6 $50
It is matter of consuming interest during these
times of vigorous warfare upon the favorite sins
of mankind to know the source of most of the in
terna1 revenue income of the government, and this
is given in separate items by the commissioner of
internal in his annual report for the last
fiscal year. The taxes collected were upon the fol-
lowin articles
Spirits distilled from fruit, gallons, 1,67o,o31
Spirits distilled from materials other than fruit
gallons, 119,808402.
Imitation champagne, ETC., bottles SO.
Fermented liquors, barrels, 58747,680
Cigars weighing more than three pounds thous-
and, number 6,904 58,783.
Cigars weighing not than three pounds
thousand number, 1O09, 352, 1896
Cigarettes weighing not more than three pounds
thousand, number, 55383, 204 $50.
Cigarettes weighing than three pounds a
thousand number, 19,131,483.
Snuff pounds 22,547,762
Tobacco pounds, 1854, 1O9395.
Olernargarlne, pounds, 79107,302.
The entire statistical story put forth by the gov
eminent is of depleted revenue, covering a per-
lod of three quarters of the year that ended with
June, and also of increased expenditures for the
entire year.
For the current fiscal year, the provisions of con-
gress indicate greater extravaganza than for the fs
cal year recently closed Extravaganza is the correct
term when expenses are more than an income-when
the country lives beyond its means. There is no
danger, of course, that bankruptcy will ensue and
discussion of the subject does not involve calamity
argument for effect upon the voter
But it is well enough to remember that when the
times are hard, the payment of taxes becomes some
what oppressive and economy is but justice to tax
payers Under the national revenue system, the
poor man pays much of the tax as the rich man.
and hardship is inflicted on the poor man when
the public expenditures are increased at time when
his income is curtailed

ATTORNEY WOODS FEE.
Question Taken Up To-Day in the
District Court.

The question of the value of Attor-
ney P. L. Woods services to Noise
Lallier in a number of law suits was
again taken up by the jury in the
district court to-day. Mayor Thoms
who appeared on the other side OF
the cases was the first witness. He
was not asked the value of Attorney
Woods services, but he read over a
large number of the papers in the
various cases. Attorney Wood
ability as a lawyer was questioned
several times but Judge Peasle,
would not allow any answer to be re-
corded. All the lawyers in the city
seem to be interested and their hopes
are with their brother, Lawyer Wood
for il people ever got into the habit OF
refusing to pay their lawyers there
would be no saying where the law
yers would wind up. They wish to
see 1t proved that lawyer, as we'll
as laborer, is worthy of his hire.
The jurors in the Wood-Lallier
case made short work of it once
went into their bands. After deiib-
Grating half an hour they returned a
verdict against Mrs Lallier for $355
with cost, and for her husband to re
cover his costs. Mr. Wood sued for

IRISH PROGRAMME
Given By Pupils Of Noire Dame
Academy Last Night.

An excellent entertainment of the
kind for which the pupils of Notre
Dame convent are noted was given
at Convent hall last evening In
honor Of st Patrick. The pro-
gramme was much enjoyed by the
large audience, which could not fail
to realize the ability Of the instruc-
tors at the convent in view of the
excellency of the programme rem
dered by the young women whom
they had taught. The opening num-
Der was Come Back to Erin" by
the senior chorus. 1t was followed
by recitation, ireland Shall Be
Free" delivered by Miss T. Sheri-
dan McNally. The junior chorus
rendered THE Shamrock" with
Miss Clotilde Mitchell taking the
solo part. "The Exiles Wishes" was
delivered by Miss Mary Boyle, and
Miss Molly Thompson was heard in
a pleasing solo, My Queenly Island
Home" Other numbers on the pro-
gramme were THE Soliloquy of an
Irish Peasant Woman" by Miss Ma
haney; "Kathleen's Return by CO.

Margaret Tobin; recitation, Heroic

a harmony and technique that was
most commendable. The concluding
number was the song Erin Ma

any of them could scarcely be i'm
