The quality of Democratic economy is il.
lustrated by the action of the Confederate
House on the river and harbor appropriation
bill. The House sent the Senate bill appro-
priating seven and half millions. The Re-
publican Senate after wrestling with the bill
finally adopted one appropriating five mil
lions. Friday the Senate bill was taken up
in the House and was refused passage, the
Democratic members, particularly those of
the Southern states, having secured large
sums for the improvement of rivers which
have no commerce, thus refusing to second
the effort of the Senate to save t,uo and q
half millions. No small part Of these expendi-
lures is of doubtful expediency, but the
House bill of this year is declared to have
been the most shameless piece of omnibus
jobbery ever perpetratedy. The Dem.
ocratic House is loud ta,ker, but it can no
more Withstand an opportunity to steal than
its Northern doughfaces can to defend their
Southern masters or apologize for Hamburg
massacres.

Mr.. THOMPSON Of Massachusetts is a
Democrat who has the courage of his opin-
ions, and he leads the revolt against the per-
nicious policy pursued by Mr.. Randall and
the committee on appropriations. While the
report of the disssseeing conference commit
tee was pending, he made strong speech
denouncing the policy of his party associates
in regard to the appropriation bills, and TAX
ing the ground that the House had no right
to insert matter in appropriation bills, chang
ing existing laws, and to attempt to coerce
the Senate into agreeing to such legislation.
He held that the committee on appropria-
tions should report bills providing appropria-
tions in accordance with existing law, and
leave other committees to report such legisla-
ton to reduce appropriations as might be
deemed proper and necessary. His protest
against the policy of loading down approprla-
ton bills with general legislation was power
full and extremely distasteful to the majority
of his party associates.

In twenty-five months the inconvertible
paper money OF the United States has been
diminished $50, ,132,2O5. In other words the
national and bank debt has been reduced
that amount, and we shall have fifty-six mil,
lions less to pay when we resume specie nav j..
ments. This is decided progress toward
making paper currency equivalent in value
to gold, and greatly facilitates resumption,
the assertions of the st. Louis platform to
the, contrary notwithstanding. And this has
been done under the resumption act which
the Democrats declare an obstacle to specie
payments.

These statements tending
to prejudice the public
against their use, we would
state that these meats are
pnt up in hermetically
sealed cans, the same as
other canned goods, and
have the endorsement of
the leading chemists Of the
country. They have been
sold in immense quantities
by all the leading grOcers

concerning their impurity.
In regard to the pub

poisoning of certain per-
sons from eating of these
Meats, no direct testimony
can be adduced proving
such to have been the case.

A Doctor Terrified.

A letter from Atlanta, Ca, to
the Atlanta Constitutionalist, tells
thia amusing story: CAT a
masquerade ball recently given, a
young Benedict personated the
devil. Those who saw him in cos
tune say he was horrible to be-
hold.
During the evening, at a time
when the gay maskers were hav-
ing their best joy, the devil was
requested to go to the door. There
he found a summons from home
to run for doctor. In the ex-
citement he forgot his impersona-
ton and rushed to the doctors Of
fee. The son of Galen was snor-
ing away, dreaming, perhaps, of
ponderous pills and prodigious
powders, when the bell sounded.
The ringing was of such terrific
vehemence that it caused the doc
tor to bounce out of bed and rush
in neglige costume to the door.
He took one sudden, hasty glance
at the disturber of his slumbers,
and then ran.
Being an important case, the
young man rushed through the
doorway and commenced a vigor-
Gus search for the fugitive physi-
clan. He found him under the
bed with pistol in each hand. It
took long time to convince the
doctor that he wasn't really the
cloven-footed parsonage he rep
resented"

Fearful Panic In CIncInn a

Fearful Panic In C1ncInn ati
Women and Children Tramp
He'd and Crushed 70 Death.
The following telegram tells its
own sad story:
Cincinnati, Feb. 5.-The allegro OF
the great republic, during the per-
formances of which occurred the
disaster this afternoon, has been
upon the stage of Robinson's opera
house for two nights, under the au-
the proceeds to be applied to the re-
lief of the suffering poor of the city.
The performers number 600, 500 of
them consisting of children from
the common schools, and as the OBJ
ject is worthy and those who took
part were children of old residents
of the city, vast audiences were
present at the presentation.
The weather this morning being
favorable, and as there was no ses-
sion of the schools, the matinee au-
dience was in most part composed
of women and children. About
= past two O'Clock, while the great
house was packed. and thousands of
children among the audience were
at the hight of enjoyment, some
mothers pet boy in the gallery rails
ed the cry Of fire, as the red light
from the colored fires used in a
piece flashed out from the wings.
Every inch of the theater being oc-
cupied and the crowd pressing
about the stair cases and in the front
doors some one in the audience
took up the cry of fire, and it was
repeated from near the doer by
some one who caught glimpse of
a red glare from the stage. There
was immediate rush for the front
door, and q child was pushed down
the steps and screamed. Immedi-
ately after q fool of q man thrust
his arm through q window and
screamed, and the crash was enough
to set the panic in full force, and
the scene was terrible. In the mar
row Vestibule leading to the street,
the people in the rear mad with
fear, pressed upon these in the
front cursing. Men terror stricken,
children in front or climed over

case and precipitated themselves
upon the screaming and bloody
mass Of children in the hall way.
The scene in and about the opera
house after the accident was heart
bending. The news of the catas-
trophe spread like wild-lire over
the city, and from every direction
came people hurrying to the scene,
until squares became impossible.
A few men placed themselves
near the doorway and enpeavored
to assure the peaple that there
was no danger, and an effort was
made from the stage to check the
mad career of the audience, but
quiet was not restored till q num-
Der were trampled to death and
many seriously injured.

What seems remarkable, too, is
the fact that ever since the time
the child first tasted arsenic it has
begged for the deadly drug time
and time again.
About a year ago the girl fell
sick with fits. Nothing would
bring her out OF the commissions.
In her quiet moments she would
beg necessarily for arsenic. The
physician in attendance, believing
that the girl could not possibly
recover, ventured to give it to her.
The child devoured it with avidi
ty, and in less than three DAYS she
was as well as usual. Since then,
she has been given the deadly poi
son at different times, the only eff
feet it having upon her being to
make her well, bright and cheer
full. The case has been laid be-
fore several scientific men, ali of
whom pronounce it one of the
most remarkable phenomena of the
a0o.

They drove into town Monday
behind a cross-eyed mule and Q
spawned horse. They looked con.
tented, but one member of the party
was the head of the house, for she
handled the ribbons, and when they
halted she hitched the team, while
he stood demurely by and took the
basket of eggs and her shopping
satchel as she handed them out.
They disposed of their produce at
the grocery, and then entered q
dry goods store.
She made few trif1ing purchases
of thread, pins, needles, and such
things, and then called for two knots
of yarn.
THAT won't be enough, Mary
said tie man, plucking her dress.
IL guess l know what I'm buy
ing" she retorted.
"But it amt morn half what

"Wai, that's none of your bisness /;

have your'n come way up TO your
neck, if you want to-"
The old man bowed to the inev-
liable with long sigh, as his part
ner turned to the clerk and said:
1.-TWO yards of cheap shirtin', if
you please"
THAT ant enough, Mary" said
the old man, plucking at her dress
again.
"Yes, It's"
-
'EWalI, it's all you'll git" she snap
ped.
"Pnt it up, then, mister" said he,
turning to the clerk "put it up, and
we won't have any,"
"Who's doin' this buyin'' l should
like to know ?" Kissed the woman.
. "You are, Mary, you are," he ad-
mitted "but you can't palm off no
short shirts on me-"
"You act like fool, John Spin.
err"
"Mebbe do, Mary, but I'll be
burned TO gosh if I'll have half
shirt-no, not if 1 60 naked"
"Wall, l say two yards is enough
to make any one two Shirts" she
snapped.
"Mebbe that's enough for you,
Mary" he said, very quietly;
"p'raps you can git along with 8
collar button and a neck-band, but
that amt me; and 1 don't propose
to freeze my legs to save eight
cents"
"Git what you want then!" she
shrieked, pushing him over the
stool; "git dozen pieces if you
want 'em, but remember that I'll
make you sick for this"
"FOur yards, if you please, mister
-four yards" said he to the clerk;
sand just remember" he continued,
elf you hear of 'em findin' me with
my head busted, friz to death in
snow drift, just remember that you
heard her say she'd make me sick"
And, grasping his bundle, he fol-
lowed his better half out of the
door.
