Only Remedy Said to BE An Issue Of
Bonds.


Washington, Jan. THAT the United
States, IN time Of peace, is heading
inevitably toward bond issue to pay
Government expenses Is conceded BY
everybody conversant with the fiscal
situation The situation Is desperate
from some points Of view. The Re-
publican leaders fully realize their re-
sp0nsibility. For II years tlssy have
been in full control; over seven years
Of the time has been under the Roose-
welt administration.
In his annual report Secretary Cor
telyou gave warning that the Govern
ment Is spending more than It's income
and will probably continue to do so for
some years to come. The Government
cannot easily apply ordinary business
methods TO such a sftuation--reduce
expenses and seek more income.
The Government. undertaking to
raise more income from the customs
and internal revenues, faces danger
OF political revolution. These sources
OF revenue HAYS been squeezed TO the
limit OF safe political financing. Either
expenses must be less or bonds must
be issued.
The Standard OIL systems great ma
tional city bank has been urging a
bond issue. II is expected other bank
ing interests will echo this, for bank
ers like bonds. They are good in-
vestments and they constitute the basis
Of national bank circulation, which
means that the more bonds In the mar
ket, the more elasticity there 10 to the
currency. Elasticity ls desired especi-
ally In such times as the present.
II will be more desired when business
begins 70 boom and 10 demand increas-
ed circulation.
About 50 cents cut OF every dollar
disburaed by the Government In 1908
went for the army and navy. The
question now n not whether these ex-
pendlturea are wise. The point Is that
they can't be continued unless reve-
nues are raised Secretary Cortelyou
estimates a deficit Of $4,000, 900 in
1909 and t153, 100000 In 1910. Esti-
mated revenues for 1909 are 37se. 900. :
600, and the Secretary already has es-
timated for t9O3 000. 600 expenses.
Nobody has power 70 reduce the es-
Inmates except Congress. The reyen-
Ne deficit now is ses .0O0. 600, and By
June II will be doubled, despite that
customs receipts are gaining. The
Secretary complains OF the lack
OF supervision over estimates and cx-
penses. but he Ia helpless.

His glance had the steadiness and bril- liancy of the falcon, and a serene majesty sat upon his brow. Naked, save for his twisted loin cloth, the strong armed youth propelled his slight boat, made of strips of bark with one oar, which sent it for ward with incredible swiftness after the galley of the queen.
 This splendid youth was Melamoun, son of Mandouschopsh, of the land of Kemi He was a strange youth. Though his beauty had attracted the admiration and love of many women, he had never felt for any but the one he now followed in his frail bark the first glimmerings of affection and his life had been as pure as that of the white robed neophyte pre- pairing for his admission into the mysteries of Osiris; the ashes of aged Priam or the snows of Hippolytus were not more cold and insensible. But by chance he had gazed upon Cleopatra and the abyss called him.
 The sun had set when the galley of the queen stopped at flight of marble steps leading up from the river and guarded by sphinxes to the summer palace which reared its huge columns and frowning architraves between the starlit sky and the starlit river. As Cleopatra, leaning upon Charmion, made her way to the pal ace the youth pulled his boat ashore in a cIunp of reeds nearby and taking from its bottom a huge Hons skin, threw it over his shoulders and disappeared in the gar dens and groves which surrounded the royal residence. 70 goddess Athor," sighed the youth, as lying in the sand he watched the light which shone from the apart ment of Cleopatra. why hast thou pierced my soul with the arrow of un- attainable lover"
 Within the gorgeous and luxurious chamber from which the light shone Cleo patra also was invoking the goddess Athor She prayed for a new delight, a fresh sensation. Suddenly through the open easement came an arrow which inn bedded itself In the woodwork above her couch and hung quivering. Both the queen and Charmion, who was still in at tendance, gave one of those little screams in which all ladies in all ages have in dulged when startled. A scroll of papy- rus was wrapped around the shaft of the arrow and in the scroll were these words, 1T love you" Cleopatra rushed to the window, but only to catch a glimpse of a strong swimmer breasting the waters of the Nile as he made his way toward the further shore
 .I love you" repeated Cleopatra, and she called for the chief of her rowers and ordered him to give chase and bring back the daring archer upon peril of his life. But the adventurous youth could not be found and tbe queen was with difficulty dissuaded from venting her disappoint- ment upon the rowers by having them all fed to the crocodles. Her sleep was bro ken and disturbed that night and in her dreams\ she murmured over and over again the words of the mysterious scroll, T love you"
 In the morning, at the hour when dreams re-enter the ivory gate. Cleopatra arose from her couch and went forth to her bath. The baths of the Queen

 possibilities of mankind and overleap the bounds of mortals Huge black
 slaves from Ethiopia, youths of Asia
 and Europe moved about serving the guests, while bands of Greek buf- foons performed their antics, groups of women danced their lascivious meas
 ures, wild bursts of music flooded tn hall and amid a frenzy of wine and passion the orgy proceeded in manner neither to be comprehended by mod erns nor to be described to them. A tempest Of sound lowered over the , feast.
 Upon a throne supported by golden giffins sat Cleopatra, and by her side
 was Maiamoun, his head reclining upon her shoulder The youth was clad in a purple tunic on which shone golden stars and over his shoulders was thrown a purple mantle. He wore a hllet around his locks like anfOriental
 king. The form of the gorgeous Queen
 was covered with a robe of pale green,
 open at the Sides and clasped with
 golden bees. Upon her head shone the
 royal diadem of Egypt, the mystic
 crown of the Pharaohs. Bracelets of
 immense pearls shimmered upon her naked arms. The face of the youth wore the ardent and luminous express sion of one in an esctasy or vision and light seemed to radiate from his brow and temples like one of the 12 gods of Olympus. What though he was to die when the first gleams of the rising sun striking across the desert should waken the statue of Memnon to songi Should he live to be as old as Nes- tor or Priam; should he see his with cred temple clothed with locks as white as those which shaded the shrunken head of the high priest of Ammon. he could never know another experience, never feel another new pleasure.l His
 maddest dreams had become so much more in their realization that there
 was nothing further left him.
 But in spite of the smile upon the lips of Cleopatra slight cloud of preoccupation
 shaded her fair face and from time to time her beauteous brow became knitted th feverish frown. What thoughts could trouble that great queen? But that with
 in his hand Meiamoun felt the soft, cool grasp of Cleopatra as the banquet hall seemed to whirl around him and through the glare he beheld, as in vision, new
 zones of porticoes and new colonnades to
 rear themselves upon the real fabric, he
 would have believed himself to have been transported into an enchanted world by
 some witch of Thessaly or some magician
 of Persia.
 When some Egyptian and Greek
 maidens, representing the black and the
 white hours, had danced before the throne
 the queen herself arose and casting off
 her royal mantle replaced her diadem
 with wreath of flowers, attached golden
 castanets to her shapely hands and began
 one of those Ionic dances in which love.
