The leaders Of the Radical party pro.
claim often, and loudly, that the people
have been particularly favored by de.
creased expenditures since the advent of
Radicalism to power.
An examination of the official figures
will satisfy any impartial mind that their
statements relating to expenditures are
as false as their authors are dishonest:

If legislation, whereby public lands are
granted as gift to land sharks to enable
them to rob farmers who desire to locate
in the West, is beneficial to farmers, then
the pick-pocket who relieves them of
their money is beneficial TO their pros
perity.
Previous to the granting of the above
lands to the railroad land -grabbers, the
Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific
Railroad Companies had received from
the Radical leaders in Congress S2,-
100000 acres of the public lands.

these plumber schemes by favoring the

Another Trick with the New
-rG ~ Bonds.

1t is Fast becoming serious question
whether anything at all can be done, at
Washington, in an upright, straightfor-
ward manner, under this administration.
1t is quietly whispered that Boutwell,,
in order to get fraction of his new
bonds taken, has permitted interest to ac-
cumulatc on them for few months, and
now sells them without adding the inter-
est to the face of the bonds. There is
probably some truth in the suspicion, as
this petty trick is about the measure OF
BoUTWELL'S financial skill.
By this device he is enabled to keep
up the appearance of complying with
the law, which requires that they shall be
sold at par, and at the same time he
gives the purchasers the tonds at less
than the face of them.
Little wonder that the credit of the
United States is so far below what il
ought to be among the fnanciers of the
world, when it is degraded by these pic.

They See How IL Is Themselves.

The Ohio Radicals became uneasy at
the exposures made by General MORGAN
and others in their speeches of the very
loose, not to say corrupt manner in
which our national finances have been
managed. COLUMBUS DELANo, Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, was brought
here to counteract the effect of these
exposures. He has made several speech
es, but the counteraction don't seem to
have set in satisfactorily, and now loud
call is made for the Secretary of
the Treasury himself to come here
and defend his policy and manage

absence for week in which to 90 to his
home in Massachusetts, and juggle his
figures into such shape that they will

Congressman in this State have been

self-interest should prompt Massachu.

PRIVATE letters from ex Senator Wade
and DR.. Howe, of the San Domingo COM
mission, have been received. Mr. Wade
gives his impression of Baez and such
people of San Domingo as he has been
able to meet up to the time cf writing
Mr. Wade says he has not seen the per-
son who is not in favor Of annexation, and
he speaks of the people as quiet and inof-
fensive. Dr. Howe in his letter says they
have discovered that all the opposition to
annexation was stirred up by the Haytiens,
which the government is anxious to
have the Dominican part of the island
brought under his control, and, if posi-
Bile, annexed. Cabral, Dr. Howe says,
draws all his support, and has for some
time past from the Haytien Government.
Since the question of annexing San Do
mingo to the United States was agltated,
Cabral has received aid in Doth money
and men from Hayti, with the view Of
making it appear that large portion of
the Dominicians were against both Baez
and annexation. The commissioners all
agree that the only strength the opposi-
ton to annexation ever had was in Hayti,
and not in Dominica.

H-

gaily dressed wife by his side;
In satin and lace she looked like queen,
Aud he like a king in his pride.

passed;

And said, as he worked on a log,

a pretty young maid with bundle of work,
Whose face as the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with smile of delight,
While humming love-breathing air.
She looked in the carriage-the lady she saw
Arraycd in apparel so fine;
And said in whisper, 81 wish in my heart
Those satins and laces were mine" .'
The lady looked out on the maid with her
work, t..
So fair in her calico dress,
And said, "Fd relinquish position and wealth
Her beauty and youth to possess"
Thus it is in this world. Whatever our lot,
Our mind and our time We employ
In longing and signing for what we have not
Ungraieful for what we enjoy. -
