HAVE THEPR0masEs BEEN KEPT,

In the last campaign the Democrats
went before the country with professions
OF reform and economy. The present
Congress is about two-thirds Democratic,
and that party has had every opportunity
of redeeming its pledges to the people,
but not a single promise has it redeemed.
The present Congress has been the most
expensive one the country has ever seen,
ard will so be recorded in history. 1t
has refused to make appropriation for
the completion of public buildings, and
pays large rents for Offices in different
cities. In Chicago $4,000 rent is an
nually paid, while public buildings OH
which $4,000 had been expended were
not completed for the want of appropri-
alton. In Philadelphia $4,000, while the
building on which 100000 had been
expended remains unfinished. This is
anything but economical legislation. 1t is
virtually paying rent twice over. In the
campaign the Democratic speakers seem
ed to be happy when narrating the hard
ships of the laboring man. This so-called
economical legislation was blow at
labor and the productive industries of
the country. The Democratic party has
never in its history lived up to its pro-
fessions. In this case when it had an
opportunity to give employment to a
large number of workmen. il has refused
TO do so, notwithstanding less than six
months has past since they were prom
ising the labOring man so much. There
are thousands of men in all the cities who
voted the Democratic ticket because OF
the many promise made by Democratic
orators and papers that their condition
would be materially improved thereby.
The Democratic party in Congress has
had the opportunity to redeem those
promises, and at the same time save the
government hundreds of thousands of
dollars. These public works have to be
completed sometime. 1t costs no more
to do it how than sometime in the future,
and all the years that they remain as they
are the government is virtually paying
rent twice over. If they could be COM
pleted now it would make times easier,
and give these idle men employment.
We said during the campaign that the
Democratic party would never fulfill
their promises. We judged from their
record in the past. They have not done
so, and the country is suffering-men,
women and children are hungry to-day
because of these unfuIfilled pledges. The
Democratic party has shown by its
record in Congress during the past win
ter that it is unworthy the confidence OF
the American people.

TILDEN's attorney. Field, is alluded to
as ''the noisest and most conspicuous
failure of the Forty-fourth Congress-"

TIE outrageous treatment accorded to
Governor Wells aud General Anderson
by the Democratic House i'm Washington
is a disgrace to civilization, and ought to
call out an indignant protest from the
whole country. These men are put in a
dungeon in the basement of the Capitol,
heretofore deemed unfit for human be-
ings TO occupy. 1t seems that what the
Democrats could not accomplish by in
timidation and bulldozing in Louisiana,
they hope to accomplish by persecution
in Washington. the sense of fairness
must have departed from any American
who will defend or excuse such an insa-
nous outrage. We trust. for the sake of
our national reputation, that the facts
have been exaggerated.
A little more Democratic sreform" has
just come to the surface, and explains
very clearly one of the reasons why Mis-
sissippi with her 10000 Republican ma
jority OF legal voters gave Democratic
majority of nearly 10000. In Hines
county the leading Democratic apostles
were furnished with duplicate keys to the
ballot-boXes, and all they had to do was
to open these boxes, take Out'the repub-
lican tickets, and put Democratic ones in
their places. The proof of their work is
seen in the returns of Hines county fer
1876 as compared with those of 1872. In
in the latter year it gave Grant 4.115 and
Greedy 1889. At the last election it gave
Hayes 1,474 and Tilden 4,5O3. Thus. I'M
der the operation of rifie-clubs and bal
lot-box robbery the Republican vote was
reduced 2,63 land the Democratic vote i'll
creased 1904. This easy way of rolling
up gains for T'ilden and reform" would
perhaps have remained secret, but fol

WASHINGTON, Dec ia telegram
was read to-day by President Hayes from
the San Francisco Six Companies, repre-
senting that gang of $50 Cinnamon who
had just reached the city from Sacramento,
robbing and crually beating them aud
seriously injuring more than Fifty OF the
number. No interposition by the police
for their protection and no arrests were
made, The companies also call the at
tention OF the president to the intimation
of the governor of California. in his address
to the Legislature, that a mob may become
too strong for control. They represent the
helplessness of their people, without
diplomatic protection. and remind the
president of the obligations of the United
States government for their security under
the provisions of the treaty. The presi-
dent said be would give the matter inn
mediate attention.
