publcans of Indiana have been in
power, they have reduced the State
debt more than one>half, beside pay.
ing all the war expenses of the State.
And still more significant common
tary Is the fact that since the close of
the war, by which the national debt
was created, the Republican Con-
gress, by its prudent management,
has succeeded in causing that debt to
be reduced S238, 479,S34. This has
been accomplished in only about two
years and half And during that
time the Republican Congress has
also four times modified the internal
taxes, reducing them in the aggrc-

PROGRESS IN AusTRIA.--The spirit
with which tho Austrian people are
breaking through tho tolls of priest.
craft is one Of the most important
signs of the times. The concordat
was established in 1S49. 1t has OPP
pressed the people most severely in
the matter of marriage. A man
practically could not marry against
the consent Of bis priest. Hence the
universal demand for q law authori-
zing marriage by civil magistrates.
The bill to secure this provoked the
direst wrath Of the Priesthood
They rallied their forces in the Up
per House, after the measure had
passed the Lower, and used every
possible means TO save their power
and the supremacy of Rome. They
denounced civil marriage as concn-
pinage, and threatened the nation
with the joint wrath of the Pope and
the Almighty. Cardinal Manchester
cursed, and his subordinates argued
and appealed; some of tho Troy
Lords threatend to secede If the in
fidel proposal became law. But the
ministry stood firm, and a majority
of sixty>fve to thirty -four passed
the bill. The city of Vienna was
wild with excitement and delight
over the result. The defeated mir
nority Of the Lords have announ,
ced that they will not sitin an Inf
del Parliment.

The Lancaster Cemetery -0rnsmen tai
and Shade Trees.

Golgotha was a small Mount near
Jerusalam, and was bare OF trees
which suggested the name, the mean
ing of which is said to be, bare scuH.
Such places, being bare Of trees and
without ornament or beauty. were
often occupied as burial places for
the poor to distinguish them from
the highly ornamental cemeteries of
the rich. The Lancaster cemetery
reminds the thousands who pass the
road By its side during the year that
Golgotha near Jerusalem was just
about another like it, the dead md
living inhabitants being very poor.
Guizot says, "the grade Of civiliza>
ton of any people may always De
guessed from the care or neglect
shown about their burial places"
We guess he'd make low guess on
Lancaster civilization But when
one is doad he yields no further rev.
enue and his influence is closed. So
the storekeepers and clergymen and
official servants give the dead no
more attention The sacred books
seem to teach that angels often visit
the homes of the dead and the an
clients often provided dark shades and
sculptured recesses for these transient
guardians. We guess the angel WIS.,
itors to the Lancaster dead can find
no shady alcove, no niche in tho wall,
and no cooling fountain.
Citizens OF Lancaster you had
better at once see to ornamenting
this future home and make it model
of civilization. The expense can be
but trifiing. We have laid the mat
ter before the village Board, but they
are slow, perhaps not feeling the
pride they ought to in their next
world home. Who will lead, who
follow?
We notice the Boscobel authorities
are to expend couple Of hundred
dollars for ornamonting their come
terry. is it possible that Boseobel is
so soon to lead in civilization

A Few Facts Abou. the National Debt

The maximum oftLc national debt
was reached on the 3lst of August,
1865, and amounted to s2.757, $780,,
571 ,43. On the first day of the chr
rent month april as shown by tn
official statement of the Secaetarv oil
the Treasury, the debt, all told, foot
eo up 81 5l9. 209,687 It wiiithns be
seen that i'm little over two and Is
hall years the debt has been reduced
s238, AIS, 86f, 43. And in addition TO
this, $50, 100000 annually have been
expended in The adjustment of boun-
ties and Sd, 5S2, 900 in new bonds
have been issued to the Pacific Rail,
road.
While this reduction has been GO
ing on, Congress has four times mod
flied and iessoned the internal taxes,
the total diminution in this regard
amounting to about 5000, 600, 900 year
ly, as compared with the rates, in
force at the close of the war.
Notwithstanding all our political
troubles and individual disarrange-
inents, notwithstand tho issue Of 1923
$50, 900 in bonds to the Pacific Rail-
road, and the annual payment of $780,
000,00G or account of bounties, not
withstanding the heavy disburse'
nents incident to an effectual gov
eminent of the insurgent States, the
principal of the public debt has beer
diminished nearly two hundred ant
forty millions of dollars in less thar
three years, while, in the same time
two hundred millions of dollars /,
year in taxes have been taken of th'
people.

over the Republican National Con-
vention in 1864. is out-spoken in fa~
vor of General Grant. He thinks
him not ouly available az tho Re-
publican candidate for the Presiden-
cy, but regards him "as the fittest
man for the Office in America. Not
a genius, dazzling everybody with
the brightness of his intellect, but
man of great abilities, unsurpassed
Judgment, and of undoubted fairness
and honesty" These, certainly, are
the qualities needed in the recon-

aA-THAT the city election slast
Tuesday was, taken as whole, a
sore disappointment to the Republic
ans, is true; but it was not defeat
in any true sense Of that term The
facts are simply these: II the Judi
cial election the Democrats were suc.
cessful by a majority of $40 on the
vote for Judge, and 100 on the-vote
for Clerk; while We not only elec>
ted II Aldermen, but the official re,
turns give US an aggregate majority
of 385.
1t is well known that an Alder
matte election is better test Of
strength than a Judicial election
It is also to be remembered that in
electing McAllister ard O'Hara, the
coppperheads only mold their own
tho Recorders Court being already
iai their hands. The Democrats
made heavy gains, and therefore
have reason to rejoice; but whom
they claim : victory in the munich
pal election, taken as whole, they
