The deficiency in extraordinary receipts
paid from surplus of ordinary receipts
and from the free balance in the Treasury
was $75.S9O. 1SS.
The items included under extraordinary
expenditures are such as might properly
be covered by the issue of bonds instead
OF paid out Of current revenues. That
they could be paid. even in part. out Of
current revenues is exhibition of finan-
cial strength which shows that there is
no deficit, except an imaginary one. The
reduction Of the debt was. of course, made
only because it was justified by the large
free balance in the Treasury. In most
European governments the maturity of
an old debt would be met by refunding
leaving the principal undiminshed or only
slightly reduced
The Foreign Practice.
How much more careful other govern
ments are to charge extraordinary ex-
penditures to special accounts is indicated
by a glance at their budgets. In Great
Britain. according to the Statesman's
Year Book, there were issued in the fiscal
telegraph acts. G1.3S0OO0: naval works
acts. a239S.OOO; the public buildings act,
f1NOOO. and other similar items to a
total of E5,974. 80.
In France. outside the ordinary budgets
are complies speciauX. or budgets for spe-
cial purposes, such as the expedition to
ChinI in 1900. The Xtra-budgetary ex-
penditure on railways in the twenty-five
yeas ended 1892 amounted TO 1.3l5,NOO0o
francs or average of y 900, 600 francs
$40. lJO.0tW a year.
In Germany the budget is regularly di-
vided into ordinary and extraordinary ex-
penditures. the latter for the year ended
March 81. 1907 being 243.970.O00 marks
($5S eco. GOO.
Russia also divides her budget regularly
into ordinary ard extraordinary, the lat
ter including new railway construction.
which is usually covered by loans
Moreover in most European govern
ments some control is exercised by the
finance department over the budget
through the system Of responsible min
istry 1t is rare that an appropriation Is
MADE which does not originate in, or that
is not at least approved by, the finance
department.
Secretary Cortelyou has had under con-
sideration for some time the thorough
revision of the Treasury statements, with
a view to making them represent ac-
curately and in easily understood form
the exact condition Of the government S
finances.

Freedom of Worship.

Thus you will see that the people of
Ireland are we'll situated in material
sense. and we could not ask much more
from the government. There is no trouble
about religious questions. There are no
more religious dissensons. Every man is
free TO worship according 10 his own con-
science. Our schools are all supported by
the government, except those Of the Chris
ton Brothers. who will not accept assist
ance from official sources, and a few nun
nerieS. The university bill, now pending
in parliament. Will be passed and will con-
solidate existing institutions belonging TO
the Roman Catholics into one university
and those belonging to the monochrome
lists into another; one Protestant at Bel
fast and one Roman Catholic at Dublin,
leaving the Church of Ireland Trinity Col
lege, which II has always controlled The
new universities may take over as many
theological schools they like. and do
as much sectarian teaching as they think
necessary, and the universities may grant
degrees TO the graduates OF their divinit V
schools. but the latter are not to share N
the funds. No government money is 90
be given IN aid of sectarian education.
In moral SENSE the people OF ireland
are gradually improving. The ratio OF il
Hteracy is decreasing. Crime is decreas-
ing; the number of convictions in the
criminal courts growing smaller an
nually; a good deal of advance has been
made in temperance reforms and more
are coming

SURPLUS IS CLAIMED
Foreign Method of Stating
Fiscal Conditions.
EXPENSES OF PAST YEAR
Those for Permanent Improvements
Should Be Segregated.
PRACTICE THAT RULES ABROAD
Present System Of Bookkeeping in
Treasury Department Regarded
as Anticipated.

Although the Treasury statements show
a deficit in round numbers of $4,000, 600
in the operations of the government dur
ing the fiscal year just closed. the deficit
Is more apparent than real. being due to
an Anticipated system OF bookkeeping
which Secretary Cortelyou is having over
hauled and undermined. Considering the
ordinary receipts Of the government, it
is claimed, there is not only no deficit but
a surplus. The amount of new debt cre-
ated during the year was only 1000 900
in excess of the amount of the old debt
redeemed. and S., OOo, 900 was expended in
new public works. of which less than
half was paid for by the creation Of a
funded debt
Two of the fundamental errors in the
present system of making up the Treasury
statements are that the proceeds of bonds
sold are not counted in the receipts, but
all the money which is paid out for the
purposes for which the bonds are issued
is included in expenditures. In this re-
spect the practice of the United States
Treasury departs from that Of all other
important governments The latter take
care to discriminate between ordinary re-
ceipts. which are devoted to the actual
running expenses of the government, and
extraordinary receipts. which are set aside
for permanent public works or other spe-
cial purposes The total amount expended
by this government for various public
works, including the Panama canal. dur
ing the past fiscal year was 1896, 32S.
Under a proper method of booking this
amount would be chargeable to extraordi-
nary expenditures to be met by loans.

HOUSTON BANKER SUICIDES
Cecil A. Beasley Sends Bullet
Trough His Brain.

San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 10
Cecil A Beasley of Houston, presi-
dent of the American Bank and
Trust company in that city, was
found dead yesterday afternoon at
SIS in the toilet on the fifth floor
of the Moore building. BY his side
was lying a As caliber pistol, one
cartridge having been discharged. A
bullet had ploughed it's way through
his brain and his skull was badly
fractured.
Continued Ill health and the des-
pondency occasioned by the belief
that he would not recover are believ-
ed to have caused the act.
On Mr. Beasley's person was found
letter which is thought to have
been freshly written and which was
directed to his wife This letter was
later given Mrs. Beasley, although
the family declined to make public
its contents. Several other letters
which had been received by the de-
cedent we're found as was also $40
and several keys. The body was
shortly afterward removed to an un-
dertaking Establishment and prepar-
ed for burial.

For sometime we have recon-
mended Vinol to the people of Wax
ahachie as the best cod liver prepar-
alton and tonic Reconstruction We
have ever sold.
To prove the reliability and gen
uineness of this successful remedy
and that it is in no sense patent
medicine. the people of Waxahachie
will find on every package of Vinol
not only a statement of the ingred-
tents Vinol contains, but an illustra-
ton in colors showing just how vi
mol is made from fresh Gods livers
and peptonate of iron, which is
needful constituent for the blood.
This proves in a very convincing
manner to the people of Waxaha-
chic the origin from which Vinol de-
rives it's wonderful curative power,
and that it is real cod liver prepar-
alton made by scientific process
which eliminates the useless Oil and
retains all the active medicinal
principles.
AS a body builder and strength
creator for old people, delicate chill
dren, weak, rundown persons, af-
ter sickness, and for chronic coughs,
colds, bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles, Vinol is unexcelled.
