| SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1885.
After the early hours OF this day
benefic aspects rule strongly, ac-
cording to astrology. 1t is day OF
rare possibilities for both men and
women.
There is a sign read as presaging
through the summer months much
careless gayety and dissipation
among persons in all walks OF lie.
The seers predict that extreme IN
diligence in pleasure precedes ser
ious changes in international rela-
tons.
widespread protests against lack
of control in the sale OF lntoXlcat-
ing liquors may result in movements
for reforms. Again prohibition SEN
timent will be strong in all parts
of the country.
This is a fortunate time for con-
structiye thinking and planning.
Progress in community as well as
individual prosperity is forecast. The
summer is to be a time of relaxation
for many. Resorts will reap great
profit.
Women are believed to be extra
ordinarily fortunate under this rule
which encourages Identification Of
homes and cultivation of gardens.
There is good luck for those who
associate with successful persons
this week end. Again the Sun smiles
upon many who have enjoyed pros
perity in the past, for the stars
promise that their fortunes will
mend
In the coming months newspapers
and magazines will profit, inasmuch
as the stars are said to stimulate
more interest than ever before in
national problems. Libraries may
expect a busy summer season.
Care in watching diet is enjoin-
ed, for there is representation OF
many maladles affecting the diges-
tive tract. Thought should be ia
ken ABOUT drinking as well as eat
ing.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of changes
that will be welcomed. Much pleas
ure and recreation are forecast.
Helpful new friends are indicated.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be exceedingly forceful
fearless and aggressive. Subjects
of this sign of Taurus are difficult
to guide, but they usually know
where they are going.
Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector
of the Commonwealth of England,
was born on this day 1899. Others
who have celebrated it as birth

Governor Treasurer, Auditor, Highway Engineer and
Attorney General have nothing to do with it. There
might be ten million dollars in the Treasury, but the
Administrative officers can do nothing about spend
ing it. no matter how audable the purpose until the
Legislators have appropriated Thus the cry to spend
Territorial money for relief at this time other than
the aside by the last Legislature is futile
A complete House and half the Senate nominees
be chosen next Tuesday at the primary election
nominees by each party for the House and four each
for the Senate who will battle it out in the September
general election
Are the women you vote for as nominees
your party Tuesday fitted to handle the expenditure
of Territorial monies? Are they likely to spend too
freely on some particular think in which they are in
terested while sighting other just worthy and
necessary function of Territorial government? 1t is
the lawmakers you voter nominate and eventually
elect to the Legislature who will have the handling
of Territorial moniesyour money which you have paid
in taxes. The financial judgment of the candidates
something to be considered before you cast your bal
lot 1t is of the prime requisites of good state
manshp and upon each individual voter rests the i'm
portant responsibility of voting for those qualified by
experience and training who in addition to their many
other duties will efficiently inteigenty and conscious

THAT MILLION DOLLAR BALANCE

1t is a significant thing that the Territorial
treasury balance at the end of the first quarter of
this year stands at more than a million dollars; ST.
ol4316 to be exact. 1t reflects three things that
have been and are the cause of considerable comment
First it is concrete answer to those critics who
have loosely asserted in political statements that the
present Democratic Territorial Administration has been
spending money with free hand wasting we believe,
is the word that the exravagant charges carry
A little over three years ago when the Democratic
office holders took over the Territorial treasury bal
ance was around 100000 Now it is more than three
times that much and the functions OF government
have been costly the whole If that be waste,
let's have more of it.
Secondly the fine balance reflects clearly the up
turn business in Alaska A large part of the COL
lections during the quarter from delinquent
taxes; back for year, two and even more Taxable
firms and individuals have been paying up, which is
a very definite indication that they have obtained
funds pay with This may well be the best sign of
all for when the general income grows the entire
people benefit.
And the third point is that the money is in the
Treasury and be expended without sanction OF
the Legislature matter how much the Territorial
officers might desire spend it. How often have you
heard oh there's lots of money in the Treasury why
can't they spend of it for" and ones pet
plan is then advanced Particularly the appeal has
been made for Territorial expenditure for relief.
Factually, this money is technically not available
at this time must carry the Territorial expenses
through the next bennium. 1887 TO 1899 and conse-
quently the Legislature to be elected will actually be
responsible for its appropriation
The simple truth is, and virtually everyone should
know who stops to think that the Legislature is the
money spending body of the Territory 1t is the Leg
islators who here every two years, and will be
coming again in January, who appropriate the Ter
ritorial funds The Territorial officers such the
