! Congressman Andrew, of Hassa-
! chusefcts, has prepared for the
Boston Post a careful statement
(ofthe probable expenditures of
the government for the fiscal , year
upon which we have entered.
Twelve of the appropriation bills
have already become laws, and
others in various stages of advance
ment, will probably pass without
material change. The total of these
bills is $462,451,399.85. To this
sum must be added the expendi
tures under the new pension law,
probably $60,000,000, and the ex
cess over the ap ropriation of $98,-
.000,000 for-pensions under the old
laws. That there will be an ex
cess is shown by the fact that un
der those laws the expenditures
made last year were about $110,-
000,0d0, and Gen. Raum is cer

list faster than: death is taking

Mils the river and harbor bill,

To meet this expenditure, the
treasurer, estimates that he will
have a revenue of $440,000,000.
There seems to be hardly a chance
of escaping a vast deficit, where
there has heretofore been a large
surplus. A deficit means increas
ed taxation.
The republican party has wasted
the money of the people with reck
less profusion, in its efforts to buy
support for itself. The whole pow
er of the government has been
used to enrich certain classes at
the expense of the main body of
the people, in the belief that in
their turn these classes, by close
organization, the liberal use of
money, and the determination born
of a selfish interest, wfil keep the
republican party, their servant
and their benefactor, in power.
There is no telling to what
lengths the party which has adopt
ed the policy of buying power from
the people with the people’s mon
ey will go. Before adopting it,
the party must have abandoned all
moral scruples, all respect for the
right pf the laborer to the product
of his toil. Naturally it will find it
self compelled to bid higher for
support as the popular discontent
grows. The logical result would
be a socialistic state, in which the
government undertook the support
of all citizens, having appropriated
all their property.

end the first consideration is a ro

al on the battle plain, who, when

fications, so he,' when disease is in
the atmosphere or hovering in am
bush amid climatic changes, will
fortify his system against every
encroachment the grim monster
may make. Many a grand life has
ended for want of timely precau-'
tion in the hour of need. When
fever and influenza are abroad,
when.the damp chilly days touch
the ihaiTow bones, when effuvia
and malaria walk hand in hand,
then it is that the system should
be fortified by a use of that superb
strengthening tonic alterative of
Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla,
which keeps the blood pure and

disease cannot enter the citadel of
life.

Plans of the Mormons.
Chicago Tribune.
The Mormons are now gaining
a foothold in the Canadian North
west, says J. B. Hyde, a lawyer
of Vancouver, at the Palmer last
evening. They are now directly
accomplishing what they were not
permitted to do two years ago
In 1888 the leaders visited the
dommioi) capital and made certain
propositions. They asked they be
allowed to take up a large block
of land, that their agricultural im
plements be atmitted free of du
ty, and those who already had
more than one wife should be al
lowed to practice, polygamy. Of
course the Canadian government
would not listen to these requests,
and now the Mormons are getting
ready to compel the Canadian
government to listen to them.
They are determined to gain such
a hold in the Northwest, and es
pecially in Alberta, that the gov
ernment will be obliged to accede
to the demands of their big politi
cal organization. The Mormon
church is. ruled by a few scheme-
ing leaders, and the socialistic
principle was taught by Brigham
Young. You know he claimed
that he had a revelation com
manding that all things be held
in common by the people. So it
is in the Mormon church, that
when a member comes into posses
sion of a farm he must deed it to
the Church or to Enoch and then
the order owns it. This applies
to other property, also. He must
give his horses, cattle, sheep, etc.,
to the church, and if he refuses he
is excommunicated and becomes a
pariah in the Mormon settlement.
In Utah the life of one excommu-’
nicated is not safe. He is more
than liable to be assassinated. In
Canada this could hardly be true,
though the unfortunate would be
boycotted, and finally he would be
obliged to seek another clime.
The effect of this community of
of goods is to prevent a
stampede from the church.
If a man leaves the Mormon churh
he cannot convey or take away
his property. Not only this, but
he is not his own master, and he
must do what his supariors com
mand. Thererore his ballot be
longs to the church and the Mor
mon vote is necessarily solid. If
the Mormons gain ascendeney in
Alberta—as it looks now—that the
beautjful country cannot be inhab
ited by Canadians.
The Mormons are striving to
to get possession of a territory
that will some day be a province;
they will acquire enough political
influence to force the government
to recognize all the evils of Mor-
monism, including polygamy.
This is their ambition and aim,
and it is not impossible that it
will be realized. They are spread
ing themselves over western parts
of the United States. Thriving
Mormon settlements can now be
found in Idaho, New Mexico, Mon
tana and Wyoming.

chy, nihilism, and communism, he
proposes to adopt measures which
will strike at the very root of the
evil. Assuming that the dissatis
fied classes, “the disturbers of man
kind,” come from the “common
people,” his plan is to prevent the
increase of “common people” by
imposing a per capita tax upon ev
ery child bom among the “lower
orders.” The laborer, knowing
that an increase of family will en
tail an increase of his expenses,
will cease multiplying. Brilliant
idea, isn’t it? Thus the country,
in the course of a few generations,
will be peopled with a race of men
tal giants. To fill the void ., that
will be created by the general dis
appearance of the laborer, the most
ingenious machinery for perform
ing the necessary labor is to be
brought into use, for the Aryan of
noble lineage must not disgrace his
name with menial toil.

afford to laugh at Mm. Like all
cranks, Forsyth has a few follow
ers, but they are not numerous
enough, and never will be, to- sub
stitute an Aryan aristocracy, or
any other Mnd of aristocracy, for
the popular form of government.
The country is, therefore safe.

dwellings this one word appeared,

Some believed it to be the watch
word of a secret society, and the
signal for some unlawful slaughter
house doings; some believed on
first seeing it that'it was a nick
name for themselves; all over
Dublin it was wondered at, dis
cussed and talked afiout. After a
few days the general conclusion
was that it meant nothing more
than a mere jofc, a trick, to set
people talking; only the hoax of
sume one who wanted to humbug
and laugh at the entire population
of the city.
But the word was never forgot
ten, and it is now in common use,
with a well-defined meaning at
tached to it, in India, Australia,
America, Canada—in short, wher
ever the English language is spo
