It was also in keeping with the public extravHgnnre which has grown to urh ttn pendouw magnitude un ler his first administration a to stairgrr .and frigl'tn the eon Mfrvative element of "the coun try, that more pnhlie irionev should be spent on his sec ond inauguration than' whs ever spent upon the inaugu ration of any o.ther Pnsi dent. -Just how nnu-h this in augjuration has cost the pub lie tieasuty will never be known, bnt that it is an en ormous sHtn of mone.y any one ran see. Four companies ol Porto Riean troops were brought all the way to Wash ington to march in the Impe rial parade, S4 m pies t)f Co lonial subjects, as it were, likewise the cadets from West Point aud Anapolis; who had not participated in an Inaugural pnrade fcinee Grant's Second, bffore, and the regular troopsfrom every military post in reach. In ad dition to these, seven ships brought near enough to have their entire crews in the pa rade. All of this cost a heap of money, to which must be added the $50,000, which the use of the Pension otlice for the Inaugural ball cost the Government. Like the lgisla Hon of the Fifty-Sixth Con gress, now happily dead, the second Inauguration of Mr. McKinley war conducted, re gardless of expense, and the dear people must pay the bill8ofboth. Some wag started a story that the two Colorado per forming bears that were car ried in the lniugual parade by a fool election better, were captured by Teddy during his recent hunting trip, and all along the line was c o n stantly heard: "Here comes Teddy's bears." Mr. Roos veltisfsaid to have been made quite angry by the sto ry and especlallj by the con tinued reference to it. Every democrat in t h e House and four reputdicans Loud, of California, Mufall of Massachusetts, Mann, of Illinois, and Driscoll, of New York voted against the Ar my Appropriation biP, which was railroaded through the House, because the Senate amendment, making Mr. Mc Kinley Czar of the Philippines and Mr. Cooper, of Wiscon sin, Chairman of the Commit tee on Insular-Affairs declin ed to -vote at alf. Democrats made the most of their small opportunity to condemn the Philippine legislation. Mr. De Arriiond, of Mo., said of the republican policvf "T hey shrink from discussion, even for an hour or two, and rush blindly along the pathway of Imperialism; they spit up on the honor and und pledge of the U. S.-, by trades, bar gains, and connivance t h e rights of ten million people in the Philippines, are to be frittered away. Icommend to the tyrants here the plunder they will gei.' For myself, I stand true to my conception of duty, audi condemn the infamj they are yieipetrat ing." Mr. Hull of Iowa, Chair man of the House Military Committee, was j 'eie.l b y the democrats when he ac knowledged hi connection with the Philippine Land and Lumber Co. True to his declared inten tion of putting the Senateon record, Senator Morgan of fered his Nicaragua ('anal res olution, providing for acquir mg the riaht of way as an a rnendment to the Sundiy Civ il Appropriation bill. It was killed, as he expected it to be. The vote was 36 to 1G tosus tain the chair's ruling that the amendment was not in or der. Thus ended tbe disputa ble though successful fight to prevent Nicaragua Canal leg; islatian, which is overwhelm ingly favored by the people of this country, and which the republicans pretend to fa yor to the extent of having had a bill passed by the House before the Presiden tial election. Senator Mor gan cannot, be blamed t o r having asked to be relieved of the duties of Chairman of the Committee on interocean canals and he never spoke truer words than when h e said: "The republicans nr not friends to this canal und they know it." Mr. McKinley didn't like the Hoar amendment to the Philippine amendment t o the Army Appropriation bill, which heads off muchcontein plated looting by preventing the granting of long-i i in e franchises and thedisposal of public lands in tbe inlands, but he did not dare to veto the bill on account of the a mendment, as that would have been a dead give away, showing his disappointment because the wholelooting pro gramme could becan ijd out. The Senate Cuban investi gation cost about 15,000, and amounted to nothing. The report ol the Committee say 8 further investigation is unnecessary, because t hey the frauds are now being nan died by the Cuban Courts.- It is understood that several prominent republicans felt very much relieved when the r e po r t wa s a n u o u need , o w i n g to their knowledge that any resl investigation would make things very unpleasant to them. Democrats have no reason to complain when the work of the Filty-Sixth Congress, which ended just before noon today, is studied. Being the minority party they could not pievent extravagant ap propriation, but they d f d prevent the putting through the most extra raga tit single piece of legislation proponed the Ship Subnidy bill just, as they compelled the repub iens to abandon the scheme to kill the bill reducing war taxes, both of which were substantial victories for. the minority. " ' Then and Nowi ' News nnd Observer. .. The Congress which closed on March 4tli appropriated $1, 500,000 000, even after Sen ator Carter talked the river und harbor job to death. The total appropriations of Congress in the year thut Jefferson wasinsngnratetlng gregated $13,000,000. o r 2.45 per capita. The total appropriation for the ensu ing two years is $750,000, 000. or about $10. per capi ta. The. New York World, frorr which these figures are taken adds: "The American famil.r of five on inauguration da, 1801-, paid $12.15 per year t support the General Gov ernment. The American fami ly of five on inauguration day 1901 , pays close upon $50. per ,ear for the same pur pose. " i'he cost'of the imposing ceremonial at Washington ex ceeds $4,000,000. The sum is equal to one third of the total expenditures ol the Uni ted States Government f o r all purposes for the year that saw Jefferson inaugurated. "Ry the census of 1800 the total population of the Uni ted States wus 5.305.025. and within a year of Jeffer son's inauguration thestand ing army on a peace footing was fixed at one regiment of artillery aud two of infantry about 3,000 men all told. IV' fit ing to Speaker Macon on Ma,v 14,1801. President Jef. ferson enumerated the follow ing as among the establish ed points of his policy: 1.' Levees are done away. 2. Thediplomaticestablish ment in Europe will be reduc ed to three Ministers. 3. Thehrmy is undergoing a chaste reformation. 4. The navy will be reduc ed to the legal establishment by the last of this month. 5. Agencies in every depart ment will be revised. 6. We shall push you to the uttermost in economiz ing. "Exactly one hundred years ago today Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated.Presidentof the United States. John D.i vis, an English traveler who witnessed the event and de scribes it in his bookofTrav els in the United States' says: "His dress was of plain cloth and he rode on horse back to the Capitol without a single guard or even ser vant in his train, dismount ed without asssistance and hitched the bridle of his horse to the palisades. "Jeffeison in his inaugural address of onehundred years ago spoke of our being 'kind ly separated by natuie and a wide ocean from the extermi nating havoc ol one quar ter q the globe," and "our possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our de scendanta to the hundredth and thousandth generation.' McKinley in his inaugural to day will pi oudly refer instead of to the fact that we are no longer "separated br name and a wide ocean" from the entnngletmtits of world poli tics and the contingem-ies of war on the other wide of the world. ' M?,repver( after enumca- ting the many and great ad vantages which the young re pirblic ot 1801 enjoyed, Jef fejsoii remarked in his inau gural that onbj one thing more was needed to ''make up a happy and prosperous people," namely: "A wise ami frugal govern ment, which hhall restrain uieu from injuring one nnoth er, which shall leave them oth erwise fiee to regulate their orvn pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of la bor the bread it has earned. This b the sum of good gov ernment." "Such were the ideas of the President inaugurated just a century ago.' They are em phaticallv not the ideas of the President inaugurated to day.

The Janua ry records show that the pro dnctionof the goods last month was between 155,000, 000 and 100.000,000, as a- gainst nearly 225,000,000 he same month in 1900. At this rate of output the entire quantir for Jthe year 1901 will not exceed much over 2, 000,000,000. Yet but three short years ago there were in excess of 5,000,000,000 pro dueed. f And worse is still to come, w i t h.

He BayB: ' 1 Lincoln was urged from the ' beginning of tbe war to take Richmond, but talking of ta- . king Richmond and taking, Richmond were two different matters. General Scott, who was not retired until after'-" several futile attempts had been made to take Richmond, was, summoned before the President. . "General Scott" said Mr." Lincoln, "will .Tou.exphin why it is that you were able , to take the City of Mexico in three months with five thou. sand men and have been un- ! able to take Richmond in six months with one hundred thousand men?" "Yes, sir, I will, Mr. Presi dent," replied General Scott. "The men who took me into the City of Mexico are the same men who are keeping me out of Richmond now."

The district fa undoubtedly' rather close for comfort, Our hope and de pendence is that the opera tion of the constitutional a mendment may restrict the colored vote sufficiently to make thedistrict reliably dera ocratic.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that It Is not uncommon , for a child to be born i? afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, If the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when It should be able to control the passage, it Is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon It. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
