for the Republican party, but gives it
dab whenever it can get chance. Yet
it is constrained to say "the back-pa bill
was not party measure at all, and the
Democrats did rather more than their
share in sustaining it," That is the plain
truth, and no Democratic paper ventures
to face it.
10 Troops are to be sent from New
Orleans to Kentucky, at the urgent en-
treaty of the Democratic citizens of that
State, to assist in the arrest of their gangs
of thieves and murderers known as Ku-
Klux Klans. Now let us see what astute
Democratic paper of the North will be
first to howl about military, despotism."

~" The last and most funny political
joke of the season is that perpetrated by
the Massachusetts Democratic State Con
vention. 1t is embodied in the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the Republican party is RESPONSE
BILE for the seduction of the Democratic members
OF Congress to the corrupt schemes of the Repub-
lican party to rob the people of their money.
The joke part of this resolution is ap-
parent. 1t needs not to be pointed out to
cause it to be appreciated. We shall next
hear of Boss Tweed and his partners in
the Tammany ring holding the Republi.
can party of New York Irresponsible" for
having "seduced" them into "robbing the
people Of their money."-Chicdgo Jouynal
eY~This morning we have the usual
debt statement, showing a decrease of the
public debt during the month of $G,752,
500 80, and total decrease since March /
1869, of 1884, 767, 1894 G9. When an Ad

this, in the face of largely reduced tax.
alton, the people are not likely to believe
that it is so black as it is painted The
President, according to the great Demo
cratic statesman, Mr. Allen, is guilty OF
the heinous crime of taking delight in
the ''whitfs of his cigar by the ocean
breeze" but so long as he keeps the Gov
ernment moving along in its present fash
ion, it is possible the people will like him
as well as if he went about the country
spouting rubbish at all the crossroads -

"a" Brick Pomeroy, while making q
speech in Texas, was asked by listener
"What has the Northern man dome fol
Texas'" To which he replied; "Taker
the weeds out of your fence corners
raised vegetables, planted fruit trees
built your largest and best houses, i'm
ported your finest breeds of horses and
cattle, erected nearly every machine shop
foundry and mill that you have among
you. They have minded their own bust
ness, and have not disturbed large audi
ence by asking foolish questions. They
have striven by honest industry to keeE
out of the sherff's hands, and thirty fee
ahead of the tax collector" Too true

nal says: 1t is the Democracy and no
we who are reviving them. When they
proclaim themselves the same old party
they challenge review of their record
When they declare that they have no
changed they tell us that their future mus
be judged by their past. 1t is they, no
we, who provoke the discussion of wa
questions. Nothing short of madness itself

ETS@ A recent Associated Press dispatc
from Washington says; Senator Thu
man, in his speech at Waverly on the 3
inst, conveys wrong impression in II
gard to the votes of Senator Morton on tn
salary bill The priAted journal of tn
Senate shows that when the bill increa
ing the salaries of Congressman cam
back from the House, Senator Morto
voted in favor of Edmunds' motion {
strike from the bill all relating to il
creasing the salaries of Senators, member
and delegates, There was another motto
by Mr.. Edmunds, preceding the one jus
referred to, to strike out all except whi
related to the President. This involved
refusal to increase the number of salare
which, by common consent, were to small
and upon this foim of the proposition M
Morton voted no; but as soon as Mr., EC
munds followed this with the test propC
siton to strike out all authorizing an
increase for Congressman, Mr.. Morto
voted in favor of striking out"
