add to cart   close window

The article presents economic and political updates of the U.S., as of October 14, 1897. As was expected, the U.S. Government's October expenses are proving heavy, and the deficit for the month promises to be something handsome. But the officials at Washington are already arranging for still larger outlays. Another update tells that there are now four parties in the New York City, each striving to elect officers for the Greater New York. But the most curious feature of the conflict is that only one of the candidates makes any pretence of wishing to be elected for the sake of the city. All the others wish to be elected for the sake of something else.
