The census department has just" issued aa extra cehaus bolletitt erring the receipts and exndurres of the NstionaL Bute and local that county, and municipal tpternraeat dories; the census year, of 1890. According to tbia bulletin the total revenues collected by these various governments aggregated; $1,040,473,013, ana tbe total expenditures: of the u.me governments amounted'; to 1915,954,055, distributed thua: National jrovernmeat, inctudinc postal service pm, territories ana Ittamct of Columbia, except for 'public school, 77.105.9U Counties, except for public schools, partly 114.575,401 aiuaicipauues, except lor pnblle schools, partly estimated 232.988.592 rawic schools 139,065,537 The maintenance oi Government, ex cepting the postal expenditures, cost $13 65 per capita.

That included the cost of education. On the assumption ttjat each adult male represents five persons in a nation's i population the rest being women and children tha actual cost of Government in the United 8tatei to every male adult amounts to 98 25 per annum thai it, it costs the average taxpayer in the nation that much every year, to support the tax eater. The statement contains some interesting items in the summary of receipts and expenditures. For instance: It shows that over one-third of the revenues of GDvernment that is, of the four forms of Government already described is derived from ad valorem taxation on real and personal property. The sum derived from this source amounted to $443,096,574, or nearly double wbat was collected from the customs, that is, from import duties.

It will thus be seen that the i cry of the Single Tax advocate that the land contributes now little or nothing toward the support of Government is susceptible of a material modification. The profits of the Federal Government from the coinage of silver that is, the seigniorage on silver during the census year, amounted to while the tax on railroads amounted to only $9,926,547. In other words, under tbe seigniorage system of coinage the silver producing industry was found to contribute toward the support of the Federal Government in that year as much aa tbe railroads of the country contributed in the way of taxes to the nation, and-tbe States, counties and munici palities through which their rails are laid. Some equally interesting features are presented in the statement of expendi tures. During thegcensus year the pension roll and other charities exceeded the cost of education, $146,895,671 bei- paid out for the former and $145,5 83,115 for educational purposes and the public schools.

Since Chen, the pension roll was greatly increased, making this legacy of war costlier to tbe nation, although thirty years have lapsed since its close, than the education of the nation's youth. also costs the people more to maintain their penal and reformatory institutions than it does to improve the rivers and harbors of the country, and nearly as much as it costs to; maintain tbe navy of the United States, not including the construction oi new vessels, as is shown in the following Penal and reformatory Improving harbors and 11,737,433 Naval establishment 15.174,403 And yet that shows only a small part of the Cost of crime to the nation, for the maintenance of the police amounted to $23,934,376, and of the judiciary, including county courts, inquests and inquiries, $23,071,075. Of course the greater part of the latter; figure is spent in the maintenance of the civil courts. Coxeyism gets a- black eye in this census report, without any intention on the part of tbe Census Bureau to inflict that kind of punishment on the movement. Coxey's campaign capital has been a cry for the construction of roads, just as Danis Kearney's campaign cry in his palmy days was "the Chinese must go," and he has led the public to believe that no money was being spent in that direction.

As a matter of fact, however, tbe fourth item of expenditure in the list in the order of magnitude is the sum spent in tha United States on account of roads, sewers, ditches and bridges, and it amounts to the enor mous sum of $72,262,023. These are the piping times of peace, and tbe United States Army is not over 25,000 strong. But this census bulletin shows that it comes awfully high, all the same, for it costs ns annually and the sa'ary list of the civil officers of the country foots up 655. An umpire iit bsen found who will stickle for his rights and due respect for his office and rulings, i His name is Frank K. Clements, and he hails from Petersburg, where be was recently employed to umpire a game; between the Petersburg and Norfolk! baseball club.

The Sporting Life had the misfortune to print a criticism of hit method of umpiring sent to it by a contributor and so severe ia its tsrmi that Clements considered it an actionable grievance. He, therefore, consulted a Philadelphia lawyer, which is dreadfnily suggestive of a pun, and the Upshot of the affair is that the game, the paper and tha nmpirev are to be dragged into court to settle i libel suit for $10,000 damage It i tha umpire's inniifi and he is wielding the bat.

San Francisco is, all places in the State, worst in. which to hold a State convention. Sae ramento Record- Union. Sacramento holds Republican primaries next Thursday. Professor James W.

Anderson, present incumbent of the office of Superintendent of Publie Instruction, is a can didate for renomi nation. Fred M. Campbell and P. M. Fieher of this city and w.

shamans of Los Angeles and Black of Ventura are in the fight also. At tbe corning election the people will be called upon to choose a Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Controller, Secre tary ot btate. surveyor ixenerau fin per intendent of Public Instruction, Super intendent of State Printing, Treasurer, Attorney General, two Supreme Court Justices for the lose term, one for the short term. Congressmen, members of Board of Equalization, Railroad Com missioners, Assemblymen and county omcers. The outgivings of Dan Burns are to this effect: That his friends (and they arelegioa) in the San Irancisco dele gauon will listen to the interior in uniting upon a candidate for Governor A wise thing to do.

Napa Register. Alameda county will be interested this time in a number of 6tate and district contests. A Railroad Commissioner in the Third district will be nominated. This district comprises the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresuo, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Mariposa, Merced, Mono, Monterev, Orange, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, Tulare and Tuolumne. The Second district of the Board of Equalization comprises the counties of Alameda, Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Tuolumne.

The Third Congressional district comprises the counties of Alameda, Colusa, Contra Coata, Glenn, Lake, Solano and Yolo. Los Angeles has a new candidate for State office on the Republican ticket, namely, II. Z. O' borne of the Los Angeles Express, who aspires to the nomination ot Lieutenant Governor. The Stockton Mail's San Francisco correspondent is confident that M.

M. Eitee will receive tbe Republican nomination for Governor, but the Mail 19 a Democratic paper and its statements on Republican affairs must be taken with salt Ben Wright, one of the proprietors of the Galindo Hotel, is a candidate tor the Republican nomination for Supervisor from district No. 3, the district now rep resented by Bart Morgan in the County Board. Monterey and Contra Costa counties will elect delega'tes to the Republican State Conveution next Saturday. William T.

Sesnon ot Fresno ia a candidate also for the Republican nomination for Railroad Commissioner for the Third district. Julius Kahn, actor and lawyer, wiil compete against Congressman Loud for the Republican nomination in the riith Congressional district. Los Angeles couuty has two candi dates for tbe two long term Justiceship of tbe Supreme Court, and Justice De Haven, whose term expires, is a can didate for renomination. Judge Hen shaw has, of course, the unanimous support of the A'ameda county delega tion for one of the vacancies on tne su preme Bench, and Judges Darn of Mou- terey, Angehotti of Marin, Gregg ot ba Luis Obispo and Van fleet and ab oard of Sau Francisco are candidates for tbe short term justiceship. The Sonoma delegation favors the nomination of J.

Barham, who was a candidate against Geary in 1890 tor Congressman from the First Congressional district. Ex-Assemblyman Brown of Calaveras baa entered as a candidate for member of the Board of Equalization from the Second district Hebron of and Joseph Brown of San Bernardino are candidates for nomination as member of the Board of Equalization from the Fourth district Tbe Republican county delegates of Sonoma county met in convention at Santa Rosa Monday and elected th following delegates to the State Convention: W. B. Haskell, J. L.

Winans and H. Mecham for Petaluma and J. R. Ross for Healdsburg. After quoting Estee'a letter to Coombs tbe Sacramento Bee of the 5th inat makes the following; onslaught on the former: "Morris Mentioned Estee declares that he would deem it to be his duty to accept the nomination if the Republican Convention, "in its wisdom," should select him as its candidate.

M. M. has certainly lost none of hit vanity, and undoubtedly his cyclonic defeat in 1882 has not diminished the sfze of his head. Though he him self might believe it to be an act of political eapience on the part of tbe Republican party of California to nominate him for the highest office in its gift, the rank and file of that party hold that it would be a deed of rank folly. If Napa county cannot decide upon whom shs wants, it would be policy upon the part of the Republican State Convention to ignore her claims altogether and look else where for a banner-bearer."

Tbx unusually late i aina of thia yaar have beaa an uamixsd blasting ber in one respect, at least they have been death to which, at tbia time of the yer, are ordinarily an unendurable pest. Bt the time tbia paragraph meet tha public eye Louis Matbeny will bare been acquitted of the charge of murdering Special Police Officer Caahia. If so, it will have been accomplished through the ratings of the court, which bound, fettered and blindfolded the prosecution.

These rulings may have been strictly in accordance with toe technical requirements of law, but they were in direct opposition to the rulings made by Judge Henshaw on the previous trial. Matheny's neck is thus saved from the noose, bat in the minds of those who read the evidence submitted at the first trial there will ever linger a tremendous reservation as to the justice of 'the proceeding. According to a paper, recently read by Dr. E. H.

Woolaey of this city before tbe State Medical Society at its annual session at Sau Jose, it is publicly revealed that he has been engaged for many months in a new field ol medical investigation- and has made tome discoveries which promise to be of great value hereafter to the medical profession and to mankind in the matter of therapeutics or tbe art of restoring health. Dr. Woolsey's experiments have been in the application of electricity. His experiments have been prosecuted daily without intermission for months past, his subjects being rabbits, and they have been devoted more particularly in the direction of obstetrics and affections of the lungs. If his experiments are not at fault he has discovered a means of producing and suppressing pneumonia by the application of electricity and as a means, through the same agency, of relieving the pains of maternity.

Bo far these investigations have not assumed the form of demonstration, but they have gone far enough to give promise of great results. A Washington correspondent says the measure to resurrect the State banks as circulating mediums is gaining strength and energy in the House of Be proton tatives and that there is every likelihood of as long and earnest a debate over it as there was over the Wilson Tariff bilL The leading advocates of the measure count on 140 vote- certain in Its favor. When the last Congress voted on the unconditional repsal bill of Richardson of Tennessee, 84 votes were cast for it and 118 against. Those who then voted for the Richardson bihjare considered to be oommitt ed to one or tbe other of tbe various plans of re peal now before the House. Among their number are two Calif ornians Camioetti and Geary.

None of the other California members voted on the subject. Since then there has been a change in the California delegation through the ousting of HUborn and the seating of English. How the latter stands on this measure is unknown. While it is a Democratic measure, party lines are not by any means strictly drawn upon it, and English may vote Vith the anti-repaal Democrats. Maguire, Loud, Cannon and Bowers are the other California members who have not yet declared themselves on the subject.

The late Charles Newton was a clti-sen whose death deserves more than a passing notice. It was really in the nature of a public loss, for few citisens were more public-spirited or had a more genuine interest in the welfare of the city than he had. He was ever ready to aid a public improvement with his voice, his vote and influence, and with his money. But whatever he did, he did it without any display. He was aa Englishman by birth and, in many ways, English in his habits.

When he acquired a fortune large enough to enable him to keep himself and family the rest of their days in comfort, he did what most of his race do ha retired from the bustling and fretful scenes of business to the restful retirement of his beaut Jul home on Peralta Heights. He was greatly interested in the progress of the city of his adoption and favored every measure that promised to advance its late rests and to add to its attractiveness. He opened the first roadway akirting the eastern shore of Like Mer-ritl and was one of the leading advocates for the construction of a boulevard around that water park. That was a public Improvement which he fondly hoped to live to sea consummated, bat, alas! for human hopes, the hand of death was laid on him before it was accomplished. He never sought public office, but the office of Councilman on one occasion nought him.

Few person now residing in Oakland remember, however, that Charles Newton gave the city a year's faithful, disinterested and intelligent service, and the only reward be ever received was the satisfaction that he had performed his doty con-seieatiocsly and to the best of his ability.

The new bonnets are of fine straw and wreaths of flowers, mounted with two dog's-ear bows of black velvet Colored straws are to be much worn, and One of the peculiar features of their decoration ie-the black violets with green foliage. White violets and tnignouettes are also among the favorite flowers for trimming black bats. An English novelty is a basket for removing the soiled forks, spoons and knives from the dinner table between courses without making a clatter. Its nse wonld. however, be to complicate the service of dinner, as it is usually only the carving fork and knife tbat slip away from tha careless maid and cause a clatter.

New York Evening Pott. Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, the richest prospective heiress in America, is still a girl in skirts to her shoe lops. She is Cornelian Vanderbilt' a only daughter. Her father's fabnlons wealth is estimated at $150,000,000, and as be has bnt three children, two eons and a daughter, her portion of his estate will hardly be less than $20,000,000. Public interest is centered in her now because she makes her debut in New York society next year.

One means of imparting to her lovely person a suggestion ot flowers fragrance is the perfumed bathrobe that milady slips into as soon as she steps from her full-length bath. It is a sweet creation in eiderdown or silk, and is interlined with the finest quilling, upon which has been Bprinkled with a lavish hand some delicious sachet powder. By this dainty mode the sweetness of Alpine violets or heliotrope that nestles in every frill and fold of the fair Eve's laces snd ribbons invests the body in a wonderfully fascinating way that appeals at once to the maid or matron who rejects the strong extract and uisiincuve perfumes of the day. New York World. It is becoming quite tbe thing at smart luncheons and dinners to arrange a center board surrounded by individual tables, these latter in the shape of over leaves, and eacb adorned with a differently colored flower.

Before going to the dining room the guests are presented with blooms similar to those upon tbe tables which they are to grace. Clover luncheons are more popular this spring than last. At pink and whit- functions the pretty field flowers figure largely. They are made up into great bunche. carelessly grouped, and are turned into mosB'edged bowls, set about on mirrors, that give the effect of tiny lakes dotted upon the delicate table uapery.

Embonpoint, to say nothing of obesity, is as much of a bugaboo to some womn as a gaunt figure is to others. Lillian Russell inclines to the former, and in spite of sweaters, Indian clubs, diet and the like, the surplus tissue gets the mastery. Pauline Hall, who is also prone to much adipo.c muscle, maintains her sylph-like proportions by abstaining from all kiud-i oi liquids ai meals, and steadily refusing starchy food. Bicycling and climbing produce large ankles. The exact amount and kinds of athletic exercise to imure symmetry is an unknown quantity in the algebra of esthetics.

Perhaps strict adherence to the Banting i-ytem of diet would regulate tbe beauty lines of both fat and leau. Rodin, the great French sculptor, admires tbe figure which generations of corset wearing have produced in woman. Tnere isn't much light laciuj nowadays. An abnormally long not a tight sist is what is cultivated. I have had a talk witb a fashionable corsetiere on ttie sub ject of figures.

"Erery lady who comes here saye, 'Make me as long waisted as von possibly said madams. 1 can quite believe tbat Tbo-e fashion Dlatee in the lad.es papers must nave a pernicious effect on women. They show a vuigar disregard for all sense of proportion. Toe proportions of a weii built woman of average height, tbe cor setiere to.d me, are, but 34, waist 24, hips 4o inches, lhe trench corset is not becoming to women; it makes the figure between the bust and waiBt lo so square and long. The king ot stays, which makes one's figure look less "atasy" than any other kind, are made chiefly of perforated elastic material, which gives with every movemeut of the figure.
