It would justify anv extent of extravagance and any degree of taxation tj meet it. There could not be a falser or more uangerous theory of govern ment ttiati that which we have ipiotcd from our misguided con temporary. If government expen ditures exceed goveri.ment receipts why mu t the income of the covern ment lie increased? Why should not the remedy lie applied at the other end and expenaea cut down? The increase in our government ex penditures has been out of propor tion to our giowth in population, to our growth in wealth and the legitimate needs of the government.

A Mm Who Ii Now Trying to Identify Him elf In Indiana. There resides in this city man who does not know his real name or his parents, and whoso one aim ever since he came to tho years of understanding, has been to try and know himself. lie has gone by the namo ol James ilson, but it is ccr tain that is not his namo. For fifteen years he has souirht his rcla Uvea to identify himself, and has striven to delve into too innermost recesses of his once childish memory to try and nod some clew to aid bun in his search. He has figured promt nently in tho Charlie Iloas case having once been taken for tho lost boy. As near as I'son, who is now thirty years old, can ascertain, lie was stolen from his parents when four years old. He believes himself to be well connected, and it vaguely lingers in his mind that his home was near a hiriro river. Ho remcmbciK his home as tilled with kind facet, liesides his father and mother, theie were two sisters in the family. lint from the day lie was stolen lie has not since hcatdot then. Wilson rometnliers tho cir enmstsnecs of his abduction dis tinctly. A stranjre and well dressed man one day invited him to take a ride in a buggy. II climbed in with the man, eager for tho "treat." He was driven to a neighboring town, w here a train was Uiarded. After a ride ol a few hours the man took the child from the train, and gave him to an old woman to keep. This woman seemed to have strict in s ructions about allowing young V ilson to play with other bovs, or po from the premises. He remem- tx rg that the old woman lived near largeriver. During the tonryears or more that Wilson was in the custody of the old woman, he was kept locked in a darkened room nioet of the time. One day he saw two men enter the yard, and al though he was locked securely in his r iom, lie heard a great quarrel be tween the men and the old woman. "rom the conversation which he icard, he gained the lielief that these two men were his friends or rela tives. Shortly after this ocennence, the strange man, who bad stolen nm, put in his appearance, and the oy was taken to a country place. From this time on the abductor never again made his apiearance Ur;l j i :.L , jibou b memory uoes not luruisu Jim the location of hi new home, but it was but a few years until tho family removed t) Indianapolis. Sickness and poverty soon com pelled his foster parents to place nm in the Catholic Orphanage ayslum, at Vincennes, Ind. He was now at an age when he began to realize his peculiar situation. He was entered in the asylum simply as "James Wilson, no parents," and. by this change, the poor fellow lost track of the only ersone who might give him a clew to his origin. He lias Sent hia life toiling as a farm hand, as a miner, and anything at Mien tie couu make a living. .very cent was saved, that possibly could be, for the purpose of prese nting the bearcli lor his relatives. This one desire consumes him, but now, at the age of thirty years, his hope has lieguti to wane, and be walks the streets of this city with the ajipearar.ee of la-ing a heart broken man. He possesses remark- die natural inttlhtreijce., and leads life that wins the admiration of those whoknow him. He has never married. The father ot the lost Charlie Ross, of Philadelphia, recently paid Mr. Wilson a visit, and, althon::li the circumstances ol the two abd ac tions were similar, it was well estab lished that Wilsan was not Charlie Uoss. Ik-ing a man ol sobj senti ment and natural refinement, Wil son realizes the sadness of bis fate. II is outcast state has weigLed heavily upon him, and those k would measure his misery can do so by imagining themselves ia his place. Evans ille, IudM Correspondence ot The Cincinnati Enquirer.

String! Devotion of I Deierted South Carolina Wits. City Warden and License Inspec tor George Saxo listened to a pitiful talo of poverty and misplaced love told by a taithful wite in destitute circumstances yobterday. The wo man applied to him for a free ticket to her home in South Carolina, Irotn which she had made her way to At lanta to plead for her imprisoned husband, who is serving a term in tho penitentiary for bigamy. The woman in question is Mrs. Jones, who lives in a small South Carolina town near Augusta. She brought with her a bright faced little baby, poorly clad. Her hus band deserted her and took up habi tation with a (ieorgia woman, whom he afterwards married, although his first wife lived just across the stato line in the stato mentioned. Tho double husband endeavored to conceal from his first wife and child the knowledgo that he had married again, but the news reached tho deserted little woman. Jones was arrested and convicted in tho Georgia courts for bigamy and sentenced to a term in tho peniten tiary, where he is now languishing, leaving his two wives and child to mourn and miss him. Mrs. Jones, No. 1, recently learned of her husband's condition, and despite tho fact that she has been cruelly deserted and mistreat ed, and despite the fact that she was poor and almost unable to support Iicrsell, she could not forget her love lor tho faithless man she still called her husband, and the result was that she walked and made her way to Atlanta to see Gov. Atkinson in be half of tho convict who had wronged her. She came to plead for a par don for Jones, and yesterday she went to the capitol to see the gover nor, but found that lie was out of the city. It was with a sigh that she turned away, but her determin ation to plead for the convict was not shaken and she declared that although without money or friends here she would wait until Governor Atkinson returns and then beg him to free her husband. During the dav she called on Mr. Saxe and begged him to help her get back to her home in Sooth Caro lina, repeating the sad story of her love and the unworthy actions of her husband. She spoke kindly ot the man who had deseitcd her and said she would do her duty by asking for his freedom, although she bad been left in destitute circumstances and cruelly wronged by Jone It wae plain that she still loves the may and her devotion is simple and sincere. Inspector Saxe secured the ticket for the little woman and when she secures an audience with the Gov ernor she will return to her home with the satisfaction that she has performed a duty. "1 have listened to many tales ol sorrow and poverty, but this is one of the most remarkable cases of which I have heard," said Mr. Saxe in speaking of the story of the wo mau. Atlanta Constitution. Anxioui for Peace With the Cubans. The mayor of Sancti Spirit us, Marces Garcia, and the well known Senor Spelterne, had arranged to visit the camp of General Maximo Gomez witJi a view to settling terms of peace.

It is reported from San Antonio de las Vegas, that the insurgents under Jacinto Hernandez, made an attack upon the town but without serious results. A company ot twenty peasants who had ieft the town with ox carts ti gather corn were earned off to the Castilias camp, where they were forbidden to continue the traffic Their cloth ing was seized and they were com pelled to return to town naked in a cart.

The' Armor Pluto Trust, made rock less by years of favoritism in high places, has attempted to hold up the (iovcrnincnt in a fashion which in time of war would be held to constitute a more serious offense. Three warships wait only for their sheathing of steel to add to the dig nity and strength ot the American fleet but the Carnegie and Pcthle hem companies refuse to furnish it except at practically their own hgnres. Congress had fixed tho maximum price at $'.0(i a ton, still allowing tho trust a big profit. Put rho trust has tho platita, tho Govern ment must have the armor from them, and highwaymen tactics are resorted to. In this ono case and it would establish a new precedent the hold-np is for something more than 2,MMi,noo. Secretary of the lavy Ioong, hav ing Iteforo him the facts that Gov ernment contracts have more than paid for the extensive plants of these corjMirations; that they have received profits ot more than 100 per ctnt. on every armor plate made; that they have supplied foreign powers with the same armor for 15o less a ton: that Congress has discovered that armor can be made at a profit for less than $'liH) a ton, calmly recommends that the maximum of price to be paid shall Iks raised to $400 a ton. In no department controlling the navy ot any foreign tiower could such a scene have been witnessed as that in Secretary long's office a few days ago. I. ids for the armor lor three battleships were to be 0ened by the Secretary. Ilepre sentatives of Carnegie and I'ethle- hem companies gathered at the de partment, as they had heretofore, to witness the opening of the bid. Threats were made last March that if Congress assumed to limit the cof t of armor the trust would refuse to bid and attempt t j put the Gov ernment in a position that would compel it to accept the trust's terms. otonebid was received (rom either company, and the only offer made was by the Illinois Steel Company, whose bid obviously was framed to suit the wishes of Carnegie. The trust companies simply put in letters saying that $300 was too low a price. Profit ot $50 a ton would be too small! Ilepresentatives of the trnst smil ed at the remarkable outcome and filed out of the Secretary's office with broad grins on their faces. Former Secretary Herbert, who had investigated carefully the many 6candals in connection with armor plate and had recommended to Con gress that the prices charged by the truet were excessive, was ako there, but it was evident that he had scarcely expected a point-blank ie fusal from the Armor Trust to make any bids. Secretary Long has been iu office just a few days more than a month. He has had little or no opportunity to go thoroughly int3 the question of armor plate cost or the frauds upon the Government which have been practised by the Armor Trust. His recommendation for a conces sion to Carnegie will doubtless stir op much hostile criticism in Con gress, which has had several inves tigations of armor making. In 1SH4 the Carnegie Company, which now assume to dictate to the Government a price it shall pay for its armor plate, was detected in frauds involving f 1,404,060 worth of plate, some of which, defective as it is, is now on our warships, supposedly on the Monterey, Terror, New York and Cincinnati. The Southern Express Company has been paying tax on only $02,000 of property in this State.

Tho subject of Mr. Ilolcomb's discourse on that oc casion was 'Heaven," and it wa listened to with intense interest and spiritual profit. At tho conclusion ol tho sermon a large nnmlicr of penitents went forward for prayers, and twelve or fifteen were con verted. A very large congregation was present it the morning service, at which time tho doors ol" the church were opened and seventeen mem bers were received. Pev. W. P. Uolcomb, who con dncted this series of meetings, is a very young man, not yet twenty years old. He is a native of North Carolina, his home being at Mt. Airy, but he has been in Virginia tor about eighteen months, having his ncadquarters at Ashland, in order to tako the theological course at Randolph Macon College. Mr. Hoicomb has been preaching only a little over a year, but he is a work man who needeth not to be ashamed. lie is a young man of deep piety and gieat earnestness, and thororoughly understands how to conduct revival services, his methods lieing highly commended by men and owned by the Spiiit of God in the conversion of souls. Tho above meeting resulted in the conversion and reclamation of more than ono hundred ersons, while the members of the church were greatly revived. Mr. Uolcomb carries with him the prayers and best wishes of msny of our people, who wish him continued success iu his noble work. Suffolk Herald, April 5th. Education in the Home. The place above all others where an educated Christian woman is needed ia in the home, especially in the home of those in moderate cir cumstances where the mother, with little outside help does her own work and superintends her family. It may look to others as if her time and money had been wasted, and education were useless, but she her 1 sell feels the advantage. It is probable that she did not have a special training for these duties, but her interest in the advancement of the race, and their desire to do whatever she does with an enlight ened conscience, led her to adopt the best methods in her housekeep ing. When we think that perhaps nineteen-twentieth of the happi ness we shall ever know we get at home, the influence of an educated Christian woman in the home can hardly be estimated.
