The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1878-11-02

An occasional Washington correspon-
dent Of the Philadelphia Times sends to
that journal the following statement. from
the Treasury records, of the aggregate
saving to the U. s. Treasury by the Demo
Gratis, during the three years they have
had control of the House of Representa-
tives, as compared with the preceding three
years when all departments of the govern
ment were under Republican control. Let
every unprejudiced and fair-minded Re
publican read and ponder these facts.
Democratic Eeonomy-what the Treasury Records
snog-Diniiierenees IN the Appropriations as Made
Millions OF Dollars saved in Three Years.
Republican newspapers and orators are
constantly belittling the work performed By
the Democrats since they obtained control OF
the lower branch of Congress, and refuse to
acknowledge that they deserve any credit
whatever for the economy practiced in the
Engagement of the annual appropriations
during the past three years. Statements are
frequently made in the newspapers and re-
peated from the stump, in that which it is at
tempted to be shown, compared with Repub-
lican management, there has been no saving
to the Treasury during the past three years,
and that whatever economy has been pfactic-
ed has resulted in injury to the government
for the alleged reason that the Democrats cut
down blindiy the annual appropriations and
without that fine discrimination which, Re-
publican statesmen say, must ultimately prove
disastrous to the public service.
- 80, a.I -. l..
to introduce or explain this matter. 1t is a
plain question in one Of the simplest rules of
arithmetic, and may be determined as readily
by the citizen Of average intelligence as by
the most astute statesman.
Now the fact IS that since the Democrats
obtained control of the House they have sue
ceeded in saving to the people of the United
States, against the efforts of Republican
Senate, nearly 500, 0O0, 600, and this fact can
be shown in very few lines and from the
figures compiled at the Treasury Department
for the guidance Of disbursing and accounting
officers. Below is a table, made from the
digest of annual appropriations, prepared and
published by the Treasury Department. This
table shows the aggregate amount Of money
appropriated during the three years the Demo
Gratis have been in majority in the House, and
a comparison is made between those three
years and the three years next preceding,
when the Republicans had full possession Of
all the departments of the government Let
the people, without regard to party, scrutinize
the following figures:
Appropriations by Republicans for the three
years ending June 80, 1876:

The following lines were written by
the lase Earl Of Derby on the f1y-leaf OF
a copy OF his translation of the Iliad,
presented by him to Gen. r. e. Lee.
They are touching evidence of SYM
pathy and appreciation, On the part of
the scholarly nobleman who was APPLY
styled ''the Rupert of debate" The
Ruperts of the nineteenth century were,
in spiiit at least, ranged or the side of
the South;
The grave old Bard, who never dies,
Receive him in your native tongue
send thee, but with weeping eyes,
The story that he sung.
Thy Troy has fallen-thy dear land
LIS marred beneath the spoilers heel /;
1 can not trust my trembling hand
To write the grief I feel
Oh, home of tears But let her bear
This blazon to the end of time;
No nation rose so white and fair,
None fell SO pure of crime.
The widows moan, the orphans vail,
Are round thee; but in truth be strong;
Eternal right, though all things fail,
Can never be made wrong.
An Angels heart, and Angels mouth,
Not Honser'sj could alone for me,
Hymn forth the great Confederate South
Virginia first then Lee.

STOLEN MONEY FAKES NINGs.--
The fate of the fortunes accumu-
listed by Tweed and Brigham
Young may, perhaps, teach this
moral. Tweed. leaves, SO bis sec
rstsry asserts, y fortune OF $2500,
not one-thirtieth of the amount
that be possessed when he gave up
an honest life to become q public
plunderer. Brigham was more
fortunate he, at least, hung on to
the money that he stole from the
Mormon Church until bis death.
He fondly believed when he died
that he left his large family we'll
provided for. 1T hes turned out
quite the opposite. The Mormon
Church has been investigating its
books, and finds, notwithstanding
the fact that Brigham refused to
keep any accounts between HIM
self and the Church, SO as better
70 prey on it, that the estate Of the.
dead Prophet is indcbted to the
Church of the Latter Day Saints
Tor over 100000, being its full
value. Moreover, the trustees OF
the estate have been religiously
bulldozed by the Mormons, and
have made preparations to surren-
der oil the old mans property at
once. The Young children are
lighting this proposed plan as best
they;can; but there seems to be but
little hope for them. After Brig
ham 8 estate has paid tor the old
mans populations, the children
Will have scarcely $1,000 left to-
divide between them, aud as there
are some thirty or forty of them.
there will not be mach left to each
child.
Here, at least, are two stolen
fortunes that have taken wings
and flown away.

DIED.

ROWELL-In Waco, Texas, April
9th, 1873, little Lauddie, daughter Of
John Henry aud Ida Alice Rowel, aged
10 months and 10 days.
dStt4e Lauddie was permitted to re-
MA u with her parents just long enough
to secure the formation of strongest
ties of love. The fond father aud
mother had entertained bright visions
Of future pleasure in the society OF their
sweet little girl; but, alas the messen-
ger is dispatched. she is called away.
The Father above has need OF her The
parents on earth, with bleeding hearts,
must weld their claim to Him who has
a right to them and theirs But He
does not leave them without comfort.
To them He says: "What / do, ye know
not now-but We shall know hereafter"
sHe doeth all things well, and after the
counsels of his own will" He gives
them the comforting assurance that
their loss is her gain. They have lost
the sound of those words-so sweet to
the young parent-papa, mamma; her
CHEEKY laugh; her sweet face; her gentle
tread. and the sunshine she kept up In
the household. But she has exchanged
a world of care, of affection, of trouble,
Of sorrow, of death, for q world OF rest,
of peace, of joy, of glory. Another
link is added to the chain to draw the
hearts of the bereaved parents to the
glory land.
Although little Lauddie can not return
to them, it is their privilege to go to

Before the answer could he given,
Apparitions three and four appeared,

CONSERVATION on the lower side of

restaurant. The man on the tilt
fell backward, and was shot under
the table. There was general hunt
after hats, and a gathering up of
loose handkerchiefs and canes.
All at once, after one of those
short, sudden panics which convey
electric knowledge to the human
mind, a whole party, with more or
less notwithstanding to the ma
lures and shapes they had been put
in-made for the stairs, and de-

entirely confident to the object OF
getting congenial partner with
whom they could quietly settle
down in life."
