We find the following in the Bu'-
letin of last week, reported as being
the ''exact words Mr.. STONE "used
in reference to Mr.. VANCE, his car
riage and driver" Truth and JUS
tice" requires that they be inserted
in the JOURNAL in order that no false
impression may be made by what has
gone before:
Here we are, in the capital of the Uni
ted States, seated side by side-Richards
and lin a carriage drawn by span of
beautiful horses finely caparisoned; a
servant sporting a mustache, white col
lar, plug hat and kid gloves, for driver ;
accompanied by Congressman who, =
short twelve months ago. ran Demo-
cratic newspaper in Southern Ohio for a
livelihood.

Republican Economy.

Comparisons are said to be odious
but in the case below the exception
to the rule is shown. Taxpayer.
will find it a pleasure to study this
comparison. In speaking of the ap
preparation bills of the last two ses
sions of the General Assembly, thu
Columbus correspondent of the Gin
clnnati Times says:
The appropriation bill passed las
year by tho Doaooratfc Assembly
footed up so as to show the hand
some total of fire million, sac hWn-
dred and ticenty. fire thousand, nine
hundred and tarelUe dollars.
AS the appropriation bill of the
present session passed the House its
total was 1855, ,656, to which the
Senate added $153,S13, and as finally
passed into law it appropriated
1889, AGA, which leaves handsome
difference between this and the bill
of last winter, of just one million,
seven hundred and eighty-sir thou
sand, four hundred and .forty-three
dollars in favor of the bill of 1876.
In other words, the last session OF
the Democratic Assembly cost the
people of the State oUer million
and a half dollars more than the
present Republican Assembly has
cost it. A saving of over a million
dollars in one year is something sure.
ly, and just such something as tax
payers are apt to appreciate and re-
member
Further than this, by the reduc-
tion of two-tenths of mill on the
rate of taxes for State purposes, the
people are allowed to retain in their
pockets three hundred thousand dol
lars more than they were under the
bill passed by the late Democratic
Assembly, which makes a grand TO-
tai saving to the State of over two
millions of dollars. This is over
two million reasons for saying the
present Assembly has done some ex-
celIent work,

is danger that the party of investi-
cations in Congress, by their reck-
lessness in pursuing innocent per-
sons, and their eagerness to make
long indictments and overwhelming
charges against those who are actual
ly guilty of punishable offenses, may
go just far enough TO turn the cur
rent of popular indignation away
from those whom they prosecute and
against themselves. There is
quaint old story told of a savage,
