lrkkEN BY SURPRISE.

It
OnThursday evening last our worthy
friend and neighbor s. s. Geib, Esq, was
so completely surprised bya host Of his
frierds and relatives that IL required
some time before he could recover suffi-
GENTLY to comprehend the situation,
Mr.. Geib had been to Akron during
the day and did not return until about 8
o'clock in the evening, Driving into the
yard the whole scene around him was
splendidly illuminated by torchlights,
bringing to his view horses, buggies and
carriages, ranged along fences and hitch
ing posts; groups of people stationed
about at different places; an almost end
less procession of children perched on
fences and gate posts; and the white
plum, ed members of the Greentown In
dependent Band, who made the welkin
ring with their thrilling strains of de-
lightful music. CONSERVATION was de-
piCted in the countenance of Mr. Gelb as
he contemplated the scene around him,
and he seemed to be laboring under an
attack of mental alteration, but after
philosophising vehemently for, several
minutes, the problem was solved. 1t was
his birthday, and this was a birthday
surprise party, So alighting from his
wagon, he declared it was an absolute
surpri Q to him, said they were all heart
ily welcome, and invited them in, when
he entertained them in a most hosplta-
BILE manner. d9.n .uH .r.il.
Nearly every room in both houses was
taken possession of, and all seemed to
participate freely in the enjoyments of
the occasion. The principal diversion of
the evening was.a social dance, which
was INDUCED in by young and old, mar
ried and single. At about II o'clock the
guests were invited to partake Of sump-
tuous and beautiful repast, and about
seventy y-five of them availed themselves
of this opportunity to recuperate their
exhausted frames.
L. E., Smith, Esq, called on F. W.
Baird for a toast. Mr.. Baird responded
at considerable length, in language high
.ly and deservedly complimentary to the
worthy host, and expressing thanks to
the Greentown band for their kind SER
vices. ,r.g ! r. s.., ,a+ +l".
After the feast was over the guests
again proceeded to "trip the light fantas
tic" until the "wee sma' hours of morn
ing" when they dispersed to their re-
spective homes, all feeling well satisfied
with the exceedingly pleasant time they
had. 1t was the grandest affair of the
kind ever held in this section, and Mr..
Geib will undoubtedly long remember
the day when he became der"

AT the recent election in Connecticut,
the Democrats carried eighty-seven towns
and the Republicans sixty-nine, eleven
being divided. Last year there were
seventy-seven Democratic, sixty-fve Re.
publican and twenty-three divided. Most
of the towns which the Democrats have
carried have also given an increased
Democratic majority. Does this look like
Republican gains in Connecticut?

MAJOR McKINLEY's majority in the
Seventeenth Congressional district is
267l. Two years ago Woodworth's ma
jority was 276. A gain of 1896 isn't bad
for the Seventeenth Warren Tribune.
"McKinley's majority in the 18th Con-

Woodworth's two years ago. Let the
Tribune remember there was greenback

These figures tell their own tale, a tale
of profigacy, extravaganza and corrup-
ton without parallel in al history,
The extravaganza we find is in those
departments where opportunities of fraud
occur. Take the Indian department; the
Indians have been dying out and de-
creasing every year, yet we find an enor-
nous increase in the expense in this de-
partment. These are the figures:
II years before the war .$84, ,O9S $751;
The last ten years ........ 62,07l ,l79 so
For 1875 alone ....,,....., 0,384 ,65682
In one single year this expense
amounts to one-tenth of the whole Il
years before the war
Next take the expenses under the
head of Miscellaneous" which include
all expenses except the public debt, in
terest, pensions, Indians, war depart
ment and navy department: ~ dl.
II years before the war. .$465, ,237 ,076 86
The last ten years ...,.. 2l,797 ,068.56
But to realize The extravaganza in this
matter of Miscellaneous" plunder we
will compare the last four years with the
four years under Lincoln during the war: |:
Four years under Grant $295, ,49S .7S0 43
Four years under Lincoln 1l5, las, ,844 93
Annual average under
Grant. ....,............. 1884 ,695 10
Annual average under 1a
Lincoln ...".,........ 2o536 ,46l.23
miscellaneous" under Grant simply
means unmitigated barefaced stealing.
How can it be possible that these ex.
penses under Grant in perfect peace
should be nearly three times what they
we're during the war?
Then comes the navy department:
II years before the war. .$347 ,655, ,O6l .66
10 last years .,..,......., 234,l9l ,119.l0
Ten years of peace and II years with
the war of 1872 and the Mexican war.
But let us compare the navy under Grant
and navy under Buchanan:
The last 4 years under
Grant ..... ........ 1914, ,919, ,7SO.2 .2S
4 years under Buchanan. 5,99S SO
Excess under Grant. -. .$42,27S, ,7S1 80
To realize further the extravaganza of
this department we must remember that
the government began II years before
the war and had to create navy; whilst
at the beginning of the ten years since
the war, the government had q great
navy built during the war and instead of
having to build navy, 75 vessels have
actually been disposed of by the secret Try
and the proceeds were expended in adj
iition to the So millions above named.
And yet notwithstanding this enor-
nous waste, what is our navy2 Admir-
Al Porter testified last May, before the
House committee as follows: POur navy

General Vim. Vanderver, the


General VIM. Vanderver, the
Indian inspector for the Red
Cloud agency, in a letter to the
Commissioners of Indian Affairs,
says: "Give these Indians fair
play, treat them with the same
degree of justice that we would
civilized beings, and, they will
be friends; but if provocation
is heaped upon them they will
be compelled to fight" General
Vanderver stands a very good
chance of being dismissed the
service. Does he not know that
to fight is the very thing the
Indian ring wants Red Clouds
Indians to do? Fighting means
money for the ring; an increase
of the army, which can afterward
be used to control elections in
the South; and in addition, it
means all manner of corrupt
swindling and jobbery. The
Indian ring and the admins
tration want war, not peace.
