REMARKS BY THE EDITOR.

On inquiry We learn that some $500 we're
raised for the erection of a monument to
the late Hon. Delazon Smith ; and that
that those fluids are now in the safe OF
one of our most reliable and responsible
citizens, awaiting further action on this
subject. No progress has been made in
the erection of the proposed monument
for the reason that the amount already
raised is not sufficient to enter into a con.
tract for that purpose. We agree with
our correspondent that the memory o
Senator Smith is the property of the
State and we trust some fresh move
ment win soon be i~naugurated by which
this very praisewOrtby object will be &C
complished.

A DECLARATION or PRINoIpLEs.-
The Louisville Journal, in the present
aspect of affairs, makes the following con-
fession of Democratic faith. 1t says:
1--WE heartily endorse, so far as We have
seen, every platform laid down by the
Democracy of the North, Middle. Western
and Northwestern States. We are for
the obliteration ofthe Freedmen's Bureau
Bill everywhere; we are for the annulment
of all confscations; we are for the equal
powers, and rights, and privileges of the
whole people of the old Union; We are for
the conditional pardon Of all the paroled
Confederates who have kept their faith;
we are for the immediate unlocking of
the prison-doofs Of all prisoners held in
captivity upon the charge Of treason; and
we are for the establishment of the repub-
lie upon the plan which our noble Presi-
dent has recommended and is exerting
oil his energies to carry out. IF to be in
favor of all these things is to DO a Demo-
orat, then We are a Democrat, an earnest
and jealous Democrat, apd all the time a
Democrat, and ready to cooperate with all
who are ready to cooperate with us.

The New York Tribune makes the fol.
lowing comprehensive summing up of the
household expenses of our re vercd "Unele
Samuel:
"The appropriation voted by the second
session of the XXXIXth Congress, to pay
for the current expenses of the Govern
ment during the coming year, and to sup
ply the deficiencies of the last fiscal peri
cd, amount to the pretty little sum of
s144, ia, 037 81. The army takes $685.
a91 1854; the navy &c. S3, PA. Mr..
Seward two allowances of $4,000 each
for his Atlantic Cable bills, and the Post
master General gets $4,000 worth of
twine. The Military academy at West
Point is very literally provided for, at an
expense of S268, 913, of which that emf
useless body, the Board of Visitors, con.
sumes $1,000, and another $4,000 is ap-
piled to en- enlargement of the Cadets
Laqndery, which, we should think, ought
to be large enough now to keep that dap
per little body Of soldiers as clean as a row
of new pins.
The printing Of our Government money
costs 500, 900; the Management Of loans
anc notes cannot be effected for less than
S200, 600, 900 and for the detection ofcoun-
terfeiters we have a bill of $3.50, 000.-
Our expensive old friend Pub. Doc. dan
ces in to the tune of 81, I69, 1913, which
surely oought to make Congress ashamed
of itself. Next to tbs salary of Dir. An
drew johnson, the charge under which it
strikes US that we get the prosest equiva-
for our money, is that of 1914 sos for the
Department of Agriculture. The pur-
chase and distribution of seeds which mo-
body wants costs $50 900, and the Botan-
zeal Garden, where Dir. Commissioner New
ton raises hot-house flower for members of
Congress is supported at an outlay of
S10,675. Ten Thousand dollars for bo-
quets! But after all that is not worse
than the Legislative appropriation of
S10,230 for horses and ~carriages-a little
bit of luxury in which we mistakenly sup
posed the Common Council of New York
were unrivaled.
The most b~ewildering thing of all is the
list Of appropriations for keeping our pub
lie officers warm. Here, for example we
have $4,000 for heating the Supreme
Court Room; $1,000 for heating the Ca
diets mess.reom at West Point; $40, 900
for the heating and ventiIating their bar
racks; $4,000 worth of heating appara-
tus in the public buildings; $1,000 worth
of ditto for the library of Congress; So 900
worth of fuel for the White House; $500
for heating the Capitol; $1,000 for fuel
again at the White House and Capitol
How IN the world it is possible in a single
winter to consume such enormous quaint
ties Of coal, is q problem quite beyond our
comprehension. There is'an item of $50,
600 for lighting the Capitol and White
House, besides which the illumination Of
the Rotundt by electricity involves an an
pual expense ofs3. 900, and the Govern
ment has to pay an electrician $1,000 a
year to attend to it.

ROUGH CUSTOMERS IN MISSOURI.
An idea of state of affairs existing in
some portions Of Missouri may be obtain.
ed from the following dispatch from War.
rensburg March 4th: 1.-THE grand high
priest of desperadoes, Bill Stevens, has
met his just dues, and, it is reported, was
killed this morning at daylight by some
horsemen who had surrounded his house
and called on him to explain certain
threats made while in town the day after
the hanging of Sanders. This man Ste
vens has been the terror of the county
aud State, he being at the head Of all vii.
lainy and crime, and woe was it 10 any per.
son who dare thwart him in bis views.
One Of his sons was killed at the Blair
meeting last fall-a chip oftbe same block
Another of his sons, o we'll known horse
and cattle thief, who hps by his act made
himself liable to arrest, and by his daring
had always escaped, has several times been
shot at by the Sheriff and his posse, but
Dick Turpin-like escaped. This son il
blamed for being connected with the gang
that murdered Mr.. Switzer, and was wait.
ed upon, but succeeded in escaping, along
with his pal, Morg. Andrews, across the
river. Polk Adams and John Starkey,
both members of the same gang, were
waited upon by the committee at the
house of Adams father, on Friday night,
but they succeeded IN escaping by running
the guantIet thorough 200 horsemen who
we're armed to the teeth and had surroun
ded the house. Adams is reported woun-
ded in the arm, and both he and Starkey
arc now in Kansas or Nebraska, hid away
among their friends, All these men are
well known to every person who hai
owned a good horse or OK for the pasI
years. So the work goes bravely on,
and ere the leaves come out by the warmth
of Mays sun, johnson county and Yves
tern Missouri will be as safe a place foi
peaceable emigrants as any OF the Eastern
States. A strong effort is being made by
these vagabonds to cry out rebels and
rebel persecution. but this game is play.
