Back in Red Wing. Red Wing, Minn., March 18.

—George T. Rice, the young editor who was deported at Manila by General MacArthur, reached his old home here this morning and is visitinir the training school to-day. He is not saying much about his troubles, but professes to be certain of a vindication.

"In Manila," he said, "I asked for a civil and military trial, but was denied either. The military hung together, know­ing I could prove my state­ments. There was not a man of them who was not afraid that if I were allowed to slay on the islands I could prove ail and more than I had published; they feared also that I would expose others. Hence i w.'is characterized as "dangerous," and hustled out of the way at the first opportunity, [n a few days I shall go to St. Paul and see the governor. I am satis­fied the evidence I have will not only clear me, but will af­ford me redress, for which I shall take steps in due time."

Mr. Rice will be here but a short time, while awaiting the arrival of a brother, whom he has not seen for ten years. He formerly worked in a print­ing office in Kasson, and friends there are preparing a reception to him, which will be of a semi-public nature. He is in good health and spirits.

The Fan-American Exposition. To the peop 'e or North Dnk< 11:

The state legislature havihg ap­propriated $10,000 for the purpose of setting forth the resources and advantages of the state by an ex­hibit at the Pan-American expo­sition at Buffalo, and created a board of commissicners fos carry­ing out the provisions of the act, tlie said commissioners respectful Iv ask the assistance of the coun­ties, cities, towns, corporations, iirins and the citizens generally to the end that the state may be creditably represented.

I'he appropriation is small for the purpose desired, but with the valued assistance of the people the exhibit can lie amplified so that all will have reason to he gratified at results attained and proud of the showing made by "the Breadbasket of the World."

Kvery product of the state should have a place I.i the exhibit, the yield of the field, the ranges, the mines, the 11,ix and woolen mills, the starch, sugar beet and other factories, tlie religious and educa­tional advantages, the culture of the homes, pleasure resorts, all these and many more we desire to place before the world showing the desirability of the state as a home, for investment alio business enter­prises.

To tlj^s end the several conn ies are asked to contribute in such measure as they nifty deem best, the coal men, stockmen, factory and mill men are invited to prepare ex­hibits beneficial to them and the slate. The several stale institutions are also requested to prepare ex­hibits of work accomplished, and private citizens having articles cal­culated to exemplify the culture of the liolAe 'or *Vht£fp« ,if?e**6f' their community are urged to interest themselves in this matter.

There ars but six weeks before the opening of the exposition and much is to be done, so all interest­ing themselves in this matter are urged to be expeditious.

Parties having photographs of the beauty spots in the state will confer a favor by contributing them for use iu the matter, it being'' desirable to show the state iu its most attractive features. If desired, all photos will be returned unin­jured.

The commissioners have decided to offer a suitable cash prize for the best dvsign for a state button, watch charm or other souvenir, the idea being to distribute this souve­nir at the exposition. The design must be typical audLdjgtinctive ol the state, unique, yet Bf^ffiain as to be recognizable at a glance as North Dak&fftto-eujblcm. Designs submitted ahould also relate to the shape and material c.f the token, the item, of expense being-always kept in mind, llej^is a glancejgr the genius and artistic talent of the state and it is hoped a generous re­sponse will be made. Address all communications regarding exhib­its or souvenir to R. J. Turner, Sec­retary Pan-American Commission, Bismarck, N. D., and mark on en­velope containing design as above: 'Design for State J-.mblem." All designs must be in the hands of the secretary on or beforp .April 1001, when the commission will make the award.

Commissioners.

At the beginning of the Chinese trouble it was stated that Mr. McKinU ' 3 ' was prepar­ed tc go to any lengths neces­sary to preserve American trade rights, but we haven't heard of his doing anything to stop Russia's absorption of the province of Manchuria, with which we have a large and growing trade, except to issue a very mild diplomatic note expressing the opinion that it was real naughty for any of the powers to make secret deals with China without con­sulting the other powers. He'll have to take on a little more ginger, if we are to hold on to our Chinese trade, which was made the principal excuse for acquiring the Philippines. It will be really too bad if we have to lose our Chinese trade and keep the Philippines, too.

Where the Money Goes. Washington, March 6.—Rep­

resentative Cannon, chairman of the house committee on ap­propriations and Represen­tative Livingston, the senior democratic member of the com­mittee have prepared state­ments of the appropriations of the fifty-sixth congress which will be printed iu the record to­morrow. They place the total appropriations for the congress at $1,440,002,") 15, placing those for the first session at $710,1.10,-8(52 and for the second at $729,-911,(58,}. Mr. Cannon publishes a table showin the expendi­tures of the previous congress at $1,5(58,212,037, and Mr. Livingston makes a compari­son with the fifty-fourth con­gress, which appropriated $1,-041,580,273.

In his statement Mr. Cannon says:

N li P l r» M C A X ST A TI •; MIV X T. "Tlie nppropi iatious of the

session just c osing aggregate as nearly as can he ascertained at this time, $729,1)1 1.(583. This sum includes $123,782,088 for the postal service and $.13,000,-000 for the sinking luud.

"The increase over the ap­propriations made at the first session ol this congress is less ' han $20,000,000 and this sum is more than accounted for bv the increase of $10,121,4.10, made on account ol the postal service, and by $13,513,0.17 in the bill that provides for the mainten­ance of our naval establish­ment and lor the construction, armor and armament of the new ships of the navy. One large item is the appropriation of $;1,2.10,000 authorized by legislation at the first session of this congress for the St. Louis exposition. The total appropriations made at the two sessions of this, the fifty-sixth congress, are $128,1.10,092 less than the appropriotions made during the two regular sessions of the preceeding congress.

"The new revenue law pass-at this session will, it is

estimated, reduce taxes for the coming fiscal year $11,000,000, bringing our total estimated income lor the coming fiscal ye«r, including postal revenues, to $(575,033,042.

"The large deficiencies pro­vided for during the fiscal year 1899, by the first regular session of the lifty-fffth congress, amounted to $349,772,389, were almost in their entirety to cover the expenses of the mili-tary and naval establishments during the fiscal years 1899and 1900 incident to the war with Spain. The most marked in­crease indicated iu the approp­riations* for ordinary expenses of the government made for the two years 1901 and 1902, at the two sessions of this con­gress over those of the two pre­ceding years 1899 and 1900, pro­vided for by the fifty-fifth con­gress is for the postal service. ~ levnecessity of these increas-

appropriations to meet larger business demands is re­ferred to as a cause for con­gratulations. The "appropri­ations have been reduced $128,-1.10,091 by this congress under those provided for its predeces­sor, and this had rendered pos­sible a reduction of taxes in the sum of $41,000,000."

I) !•: M ; >c I< vrrc STAT E M K \ r . Mr. Livingston says: "The fifty-fourth congress

was the last one that made ap­propriations for the support of the government prior to the beginning of the Spanish-American war.

"The fifty-sixth congress is the first congress appropriating for tlie support of the govern­ment since the close of the so-called Spanish-American war. The difference between the ap­propriations made by the fifty-sixth congress amounts to $395,482,272.

"During the session just closed the demands of the people through their represen­tatives for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal have gone unheeded, for new public buildings they have been per­sistently denied. The river and harbor bill has been permitted to fail. The payment of just claims of honest people against the government has not been provided for.

"It is doubtless conceived to

be wisdom on the part of the leadership of the dominant party in congress, and the ad­ministration to have denied these just demands of the people in order to provide for this enormous increase in pub lie expenditure which is al­most wholly required to sup­port the increased military es­tablishment that lias been in r

augurated under the policy of the republican party. Not­withstanding the heavy tax­ation of the people and the enormous sums that are col­lected each year to be poured in the federal treasuryi the public works and internal im­provements of every character throughout the country have practically been denied bv this congress.

COST OK IMPERIALISM. "The most casual exami­

nation of this table makes com­ment practically unnecessary. It shows that the army for each of the two years prior to the Spanish-American war cost a little over $23,(100,000 and but little more than $10,000,000 for

two years covered by the lilty-fourth congress, while for the army for each of the two years since that war, 1901 and 1902, it costs nearly $11.1,000,000, or $230,000,000 for the two years, exclusive ol deficiencies that have been provided for in large sums out of appropriations made for expenses of the Span­ish war, during the fifty fifth congress. The. navv cost, for the two years, 1897-1898, $03,-.102,000, while for the years 1901 and 1902, these appropriations amount to nearly $144,000,000.

"For the the payment of pen­sions the appropriation show an increase of nearly $8,000,000 for the two years, "in a word, this table shows that the price to the people of the policy of this administration that has been thrusts upon them by the Republican party is in round numbers $400,000,(XX) within a period of two years and tin-half that is contemplated has not yet been put in operation.

"The ship subsidy measure that has been deferred, but not abandoned will $1S0,CKX), 000 more, to say nothing of the lesser schemes that are pro­posed."

. Oh! yes, the Nicaraguau

Canal will be built-ultimately. All the republicans say this; therefore it must be true. They have been saying if. for the last twenty years, fixing the date somewhere iu the future. Hut the future never comes.

Pennsylvania is trying to apologize and deny and re­criminate for the conduct of her hoodlum troops at the in­auguration. The people of Washington, however, want none of these; they want pay for the damages done to their p rope rtv.

It may be better for Cuba and temporarily bette for us especially for us that we should not keep our promices to the islanders. lint it is also of temporary benefit to a man who fails to meet his notes in hnisness life. The recoiling comes afterwards.

Will Mr. Gage explain why he considers tlie remission of duity on exported Russian sugar to be a bounty and does not cosider a similar remission on exported American whiskey to be the same thing? Or will h e r e f e r t h e c o u n t r y t o t h e sugar trust for an explanation.

The mosquito theory of the transmission of malarial and yellow fever is now pretty thoroughly established. That is to say, it has been proved that mosquitos are the chief if not the only cause of tlie dis­semination of the disease. Now let everybody turn to and do his share to exterminate these pests.
