Eighteen years ago, says Pomeroy in
his Democrat, when the Democratic party
was administering the Federal Govern
ment, there occurred a financial crisis
very much like the one experienced
year and half ago. Few people will
forget the panic Of 1857.
Then, as now, the revenue was not
enough to pay the expenses Of the gov
ernment upon the basis Of the expendi-
lures agreed upon by Congress before the
pressure set in. No additional take
were levied, however, 10 make the de-
ficiency good. The Democrats in control
of the administration had some regar
for the people. They knew that the
panic had decreased individual revenue
as it had the public receipts, and there
fsre the people could not endure addi-
tional taxation.
1t was necessary to economic. Gov
ernment expenditures were curtsiled in
every possible way, Unexpended sp-
propriations for public works were re-
tanned in the treasury. Where money
had not been spent for work not already
begun, the work itself was abandoned,
and the appropriations used 10 make up
the balance that was needed for legiti
mate expenses of the government.
This example set by Democratic ad-
ministration had its good effect upon the
people. The country passed speedily
and safely through the crisis, and no
where, in general matters, did the none
tary arrangement leave behind it any
thing of embarrassment.
There is an extraordinary difference
now.
In the midst of widespread financial
depression, of want and actual starvation,
reckless Republican administration
does not stop for one minute to aid the
people. On tbe contrary, il dives
deeper into the depths Of extravagance.
Congress has appropriated vast sums OF
money to build palaces at Washington
and 10 adorn the streets of the capital.
Il has provided for the spending of
millions ON unnecessary public build
ings the building up Of new system
of sea coast delenses, and the putting Of
the navy on war footing, at an expense
of many millions, when there is neither
war nor prospect OF war.
In no single instance is there the least
evidence OF retrenchment in the matter
of Expenditures; aud in order to main
tain its reckless and eNtrayagant system
il loads the people down with additional
! taxation to the extent Of nearly fifty
, millions Of dollars year. II Is for this
! that the Republican party is in power,
!. and for this that Grant seeks the Presi-
dency for third term. 90

"Mother" is magic name, that opens
the hardest heart. A very touching in.
cident of a mothers influence is here
told:
In a Western city young Irish girl
sat weeping over gold ring she had
broken-a mothers parting gift. Find
ing tears were not likely to cement it,
she went to a jewelers. to get it repaired.
The first store of this description that
she found she entered, and presented ;he
ring to pale-faced German. He prom
ised that it would be ready next day
at noon. Noon arrived and found
her at the store. 1t was closed, and a
placard ON the window announced his
removal to distant part of the city.
Up one street, down another, in the burn-
ing noontide heat, she Travelled for hours,
when, after a weary search, she found the
store, told of her long, fatiguing walk,
and asked for the ring.
One was produced, and another, and
another-each of them brass, but got up
to tempt the eye. The one sought was
not to be found. 1t must be lost. She
was at liberty to select from any of the
Others.
A last appeal was made. In pleading
accents she said, "Surely you would not
deprive me of "a mothers parting gift"
The words were magical. He, too, had

FERNANDO WooD thinks that the
Republicans will settle down on Secre-
tary Fish for their Presidential can
didatc.
The rottenest mass Of corruption that
ever di-graced any governments on earth,
can be found buried-not deep-in the
interior department at Washington.
The other name for il Is "Delano." The
country waits patiently for the meet
ing Of the next Congress to expose the
putrid corpse.
SEVERAL uncomfortably loyal journal
lists are in great CONSERVATION because
the Democratic nominee for Governor Of
Kentucky is an ex-Confederate. II may
console them to hear-of course they
have not heard Of it--that on the same
ticket there is man who served in the
Union army.
THE Pennsylvania Republicans are .
logical crowd. They approve the ad-
ministration OF Grant as "among the
most brilliant achievements in the an
mails Of the country" and then turn
around and say that they don't want any
more Of his achievements.
Mr.. WILSON while waiting at the rail-
way station for train in Little Rock,
Ark, the other day, was startled by the
following conundrum: Boss, is Mr.
Grant gwine to run for President next
timeg ?" "Well, I can't tell you, my
FRIEND" was the reply: che has not yet
informed his friends and the country
what his intentions arc" "Well, Bo~,"
returned the incorrigible darkey, "if he
don't run, will youg" The Vice-Presi-
dent hadn't time to answer, for the train
summoned him away.
The War Department has ordered five
hundred of the new helmet hats for
our soldiers ON the plains, 70 test
their value as protection from the sun.
From the showing Of the that's on hand"
made in the last quartermaster's report,
il would appear that the "boys in blue"
have about eighteen hats apiece to their
credit, but the last Congress kindly ap-
propriated s37, 100000 for army pur-
poses, and the Department will have to
spend it on hats, or anything else it may
fancy, we suppose.
WHEN Spotted Tail and his brother
chiefs were in Washington, two or three
years ago, they stopped at the Washing
ton House, whittier some Of the present
delegation have gone. There they got
all the whisky they wanted, and visited
the lowest dens of prostitution in the
city. For this indulgence in question
able amusements, the Government had
to pay bill of 81, 200. The whisky was
charged as lemonade" on the bill. 1t
is easy to understand why Mr.. Spotted
Tail and his comrades have shown par
tiality to the Washington House. The
fremont requires them to observe the
decorum Of civilization.
The leading Republican organs in the
country, especially what few there are
uncontrolled by official influence, already
show signs of weakening, and indicate
surrender in advance. HdrPers Weekly,
the strongest of this class Of journals, says
that the battle of 1876 is first to be won
within the Republican party, and fur
ther claims that the better clement in
that party must win that battle. How
can this be done when the party has long
since lost its better element and Is to-day
only huge combination Of ofofhce-holders?
The possession and desire for Office is now
its only cohesive power.

the people of the county To assist the

THE st. Paul Pionoc-ProS publishes
dispatches from considerable number
of localities in all parts of the State rel.
atiyo to the grasshoppers. The purport
of reports - there are no grasshoppers in
the district devastated by them last year,
or in any part of Minnesota, north, south,
east, or west, except in very small areas,
and, in comparison small numbers, con-
fined to the group of counties or on the
great bend OF the Minnesota river, con-
sisiing of a small district in Blue Earth
county, and some townships of Brown,
Nicolet, and Le Sueur, with some very
small and feeble detachmen of skir-
mishers in Meeker and Mcleod counties.
There seems 10 he no danger of any seri-
Gus damage from locusts this season, but
the raid Of the pests, il any remain
long, will be limited to spots in small
district.

There has been an insurrection among the
Indian braves at Washington. Spotted Tai,
Red Cloud and six other Indians left the
fremont House, and went to the Washington
House against the regulations Of the Com.
missioner. Spotted Tail and Red Cloud
afterward returned TO the fremont House.
Sir other Indians remained at the Washing.
ton House, and asserted that their rooms are
too small ut the fremont House. Secretary
Cowen notified the proprietor Of the Wash.
ington House that the government will pay
no bills the Indians contract at that house.
Monsignor Roncetti, Ablegate Of the Pope,

Philadelphia, the Rev. Dr. McGlynn aud cx-
Collector Thos. Murphy, Of New York,

Az interesting lawsuit has Just been
decided at Wilmington, Delaware, where
the possession of a large property turned
on the decision of the question whether
baby which was indisputably dead a
few minutes after it was born, had during
those few minutes sufficient life to give
il a legal existence; if yes, the share of
its mother (who died in the confnemcnt)
in her fathers estate remained with her
husband during his lifetime; if no, il
went TO her brothers. On the one hand
il appeared that the baby's heart had
certainly beat few times; ON the other,
that there was no sign of breathing, that
all efforts TO establish respiration soon
failed, and that the attending physician
had described the child in his death GER
tifcate as "s;ill.boln." The jury decided
that the child was really alive for few
minutes, and the property remains with
the father.
