COST OF PEACE. .
Tho peace commissioners who
lire patching up pence jvith, Spain
in l'aris are citing the people of
this country a pretty penny. It
will prove to be the most expens
ive "junketing trip" on record.
President MtKinley was determ
ined that the commissioners phould
travel in a style proper to the
dignity of the country and tho im
portance of tho mi 3km th&l they
hare to accomplish. ." -
Despite thee fad that to some
extent at least the peace commis
sioner will be the pnests of the
French government, it is expected i
that it will cost the United Mates
a quarter of a million of dollars to
negotiate the treaty of peace with
Spain. The French government j
has placed the celebrated Salon des j
. Ambassadeurs at th disposal ofj
tho commission as a place in wb.eh
to hold their meetings. This courte
sy haa relieved the commission of
one item of expense. Det-pite this,
however, it is said,, that the ex-jnes-
of the commissioners and
their staff will amount to some
thing over $1000 a day during their
stay in Paris.
From a reliable source of infor
mation it is learned that a daily
allowance has been made to the
various member of the commiS'
sion as
a dav. to
Secretary Moored $75; to Assistant
Secretary Mc Arthur. $50, to Dis
tributing Officer Brannigan and
Chief Translator Rodriguei, $25;
to each of the nine interpreters,
attaches, stenographers, etc., $10,
and to the two messengers $5 per
day, making a total of $1025 per
day, or for the- 90 days that they
are expected to be away, a grand
total of $92,250. This is for the
personal expenses alone of the vari
u members, and does not include
any salaries.
It is expected that Commission
ers Dy and Reid will be given a
fee of $23,000" each for their work
to the seaboard. Moro Leader.

The American government is
paying the expenses of the ladies
who are members of the party, and
it is calculated that the !tem of
transportation alone for the 35
persons in the party by sea and
rail will amount Uat least $25,000.
The special expenses of the com
mission in Paris for entertainments,
etc., will probably be not le68 than
$15,000 or $20,000.
As the government becomes
more complicated and burdensome
thasitisto be seen it is possible
for the few to draw from it excess
ive amounts for extravagant living,
which the struggling many are
called on to provide. Extrava
gance in government threatens the
mass of men and soon exhausts
the resources of the workers, thus I
