GOOD BUSINESS POLICY.
It is to he hoped that the reporl to
the effect that the receipts from the
war revenue hill will be almost suffi?
cient to pay the expenses of Hie wai?
ls trim; or course, ii wool,I lieu radi?
cal departure from the policy pursued
ill previous wars 10 "pay as we go," bill
no intelligent person would object lo
such a commendable departure from
tradition and pre.lent. i nie of the
most strenuous arguments urged
against the present w ar was I ha I ii
would entail an enormous debt upon
posterity. Such an argument should
have little weight in the settlement of
ituestions that involve greui principles,
but if the administration arranges mat?
ters so thai none of the debt contracted
in this war will lie transmitted lo the
coming generation it will be an aciroin
plishment deserving the highest com?
mendation.
The credit of the United Stales gov?
ernment now is as strong as il is pos?
sible for it to be. and the proper way
lo keep it in thai condition is to pur?
sue a business policy in the conduct of
the llnanclal affairs of the government.
one can scarcely realize what a
great country We live in until on.- real?
izes that a war expense aggregating a
million dollars a day is me; on a . ash
basis without causing discontent ainoi g
the people or without imposing harsh
and oppressive legislation upon any?
body.
Hon. James Hamilton Lewis' report
In reference p, the condition of son.f
the food furnished for the consumption
of General Grant's brigade is by n >
means surprising. Army contractors
have a notorious reputation Hie world
over, and there can be but Hille douiit
that the br.I which grew rich at the
expense of the boys in bin.- marly half
a century age left titling representa?
tives to prey upon the army of today.
It is a" pity that tlier.? are not more lern?
est and fearless Inspectors like Mr.
Lewis lo frighten off these human
vampires ami prevent them from se?
curing payment for their disease breed?
ing food and shoddy clothing.
Secretary Alger's remarkable stale
merit to the effect that there have l.e.-n
more deaths in proportion lo the num?
bers involved in ilie volunteer camps
in tills country than in the hospitals ai
Santiago will hardly be taken as sel?
ling forth a very encouraging slate of
affairs. Besides, it furnishes another
Serious reflection upon the elliciem y of
the War Department, it was impos?
sible to prevent a certain amount of
sickness in the unhealthy region
around Santiago, but there is n . excu.e
for the unhealthy conditions prevailing
in the camps situated in this country.
The secretary proves entirely' too
much for the good of his department.
We infer from Secretary Long's let
ter that if Admiral Sampson should

Well we hope it is, but we know
that summer and hot weather will be

you have not already availed yourself
of the chance to get a good Detroit
Jewel Gas Bange you have missed one
of your best friends and more, you
have missed the comfort that can only
be had from the use of gas fuel, which
brings delight and happiness wherever
it is in use. Talk is cheap you may
say and a gas man must "gas," and
who can blame him. He knows a good
thing?he wants to push it along, and
he is willing that his friends should
share in the procession. Generous soul
that he is. he gives his advice free. It
is no trouble to sing the praises of gas
for fuel and as for light, its beauty
shines so he who runs may be impress?
ed. Gas for fuel at $1.00 is-the cheapest
fuel if it is economically used. Are
you economical ? Yon are prudent and
wise. Therefore get a gas range. We
will tell you ? something next week
about healing that will surprise you.
