A Short Story in Figures.
The ordinary annual expenditures of the Government averaged in President
Harrison's term 5'!iit,2!)l, 33.
They average-! in President Cleveland's second terms ?300,41S,5-l6.
They have averaged in President McKinl'oys term g,)14,4:J0,251.
The cost of running the Government is liius Reeo to have been increassable bv
nearly $154,000,000 a year ever since MrMcKlnley was inaugurated. pAnd this is
not accounted for by the extraordinary disbursements of the war, which are not
iacluded in these "ordinary expenditures."
The outlay for war is a separate matter, and it accounts for the increase of the
public debt by 200,000,000 since Mr. M.-Kinloys, luaugcration.
The financial record of the Administration npay therefore be summed up in a
sentence. H has added nearly 13,000,000 a month to the regular running expen
ses of the Government and added $1.79 per capita to the national burden of debt

PAfROH SAINT OF LAWYERS
How many readers know the naum of te patron saint of the lawyer? Very
few, Mr. Croake James, in his book of 'Curiif.ities of Law and Lawyers," tells us.
It at pa s that in the fourteenth century St. Jivona, or Ives, of Brittany, a famous
Lawyer of his time, was lamenting that his 'profl'ession had .no patron saint to
look up to. So he went to Rome and asked the Pope to set the matter straight.
The Pope was puzzeled. Finally be told the lawyer to go blindfolded around the
church of San Giovanni, anil after he had said it certain number of Ave Maria's the
first saiut be took hold of should be bis patrons, fct. Evona followed directions,
and at the proper moment, laying his hands oh an image, proclaimed with joy.
"This is our saint this be our patron." liut when the bandage was taken from
bis eyes he round that he had stopped at the ajtar of St. Michael, and instead of
taking hold of St. Michael himself he had griped the figure beneath St. Michael
feet the devil! It is said in an old legend Unit St. Evona was so dejected over the
outcome of his enterprise that in a few months he died. When at St. Peters gate
ha knocked for admittance and explained thatflia was St. Evona, the advocate, he
was told thai there was no room in heaven for lawyers. "Oh, but" said St. Ev-
oua, ''I am that hone.-.t lawyer who never toojfiees on both sides, nor pleaded in a
bad cause; nor did I ever set my neighbors together by the ears, nor live by the
sins of the people." St. Peter's fa art was moved and he let the suppliant in,
whereupon the pood advocate of Brittany became the patron saint of lawyers hiirv
self. The New York Verdict. ' t ; ' '"" ' "". "

This government is fast drifting into the name condition that Rome was in

were confined in fact to those who had the longest purses.
Distinctions of birth hod been exchanged for diitinctions of wealth.
Tha free cultivators were disappearing from the soil. Italy was being absorbed
into vast estates held hv a few favor d families and cultivated by slaves, while
the old agricultural population was driven off the land and crowded, into towns
tha occupation of the higher classes was to obtain money without labor and spend
it in idle enjoyment. .
Patriotism survived on the lips, but patriotism meant the ascendancy of the par
ty which would maintain the exwtinj order of things.
Public spirit in Uie masses was dead or sleeping. The common-wealth was
plutocracy.' The free forms of the constitution were themselves the instrument
of corruption. Redemption, if redemption ws to be hoped for, could on.y come
from free citizens in the countrv districts. The numbers of such citizen were fast
dwindling away before the omnivorous appetite of the rich for territorial aggran-
diument. Froud.
When Babylon fell two per cent of the population practically owned all the
wealth.
Eypt was marked for oervthrow when tw per cent of her people owned
aiaaty -seven per cent of the wealth, ,
All tha land in Persia was owuod by ono er cent of her poople when her down
fall came.
This Oniform experience of historical nations has been crystallized by the poet
Goldsmith into the following words:
III fares the land, to hastening Ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.

About the first of July, 1899, the Central Foundry Co., of Tew York
citv bought up all the individual foundnci of Medina, N. Y., and the con
solidation has already brought serious injury to the town.
No. 4. soil pipe previous to this consolidation was selling for 6.4 cent
per foot but the trust raised the price to 22 cents per foot but the laborers
have received no increase in wages.
In November, 1?98, cast iron scraps twere purchased by the various
foundries at $7.50 per ton, but last November the trust only paid 6 per
toq.
The price of the finished product was raissd nearly four hundred per
cent while the price of the raw material was reduced nearly twenty per
cent.
The trust has driven twenty-one married men out of town which
means considarable for a village of tho size of Medina.
Men who have worked in the foundries at Medina for years have been
thrown out of employment because they refused to quit, the union.
As a result of this object lesson manv Republicans iu the town say
that they have voted the Republican ticket for the last time. Lincoln

It is related of President Kruger that
when Jews lirst began to flock to Pre
toria he was unfavorably disposed to
ward them and used them severely, but
after a lime relented somewhat, aud fin
nally gave' them leave to build a syna
gogue. They were grateful, and when
the synagogue was built they asked him
to como and open it. The story is and
it assumes to be a true one that the old
man accepted the invitation, and, stand
ing on the platform, duly said: "In the
name of the father, and of the eon, and
of the Holy Gost, I declare this synagog
ue opened. Now, my friends, I hope
you will lose no time in becoming con
verted." Life.
Parla and Iter grout Fair,
The saying that Paris is France con
tains, of course, only half a truth. No
metropolis can fully exibit the life of a
people. But, on the other hand, it is
doubtless true that no other capital city
is so representative as Paris of all that
characterizes the nation; and this over
shadowing importance of the . French
capital has never been so marked as in
the last years of our closing century.
But, during the Exposition period, Paris
becomes also a rendezvous and center of
ideas for the whole world. The Exposi
tion then may be conceived of as the
City of Paris occupying itself with the
entertainment of a sort of congress of
flie nations ith a gracious display by
all of dungs interesting and clinracteris
tio that illustrate their history and con
temporary life; nothing being done in
tha spirit of rivalry, but all in a gener
ous spirit of kindliness and helpfulosss.
