that 10 every Case, after the attention of the
authorities has been called to the condition of

a Radical exchange charges that the
Democratic majority in Congress in pro.
longing the present session, is rcsponsi-
ble for the increase of expenses. This
is not true. The Democrats have made
all necessary appropriations and are de-
sirous Of adjournment, but Hayes the
Fraud has frustrated them by his veto
power, and they must remain in session
until they pass AN appropriation act
which continues the bayonet election
laws in force or adjourn without max
ing any provision for the current ex-
penses Of the government.
And, besides, the Democrats have
not increased the expenses Of the gov
ernment, but in all respects have re-
duced them, as facts will show. For
the last four years the control of the
House of Representatives has been in
Democratic hands. Although the Re
publicans have had control of the Sen
ate in the meantime and have systemat-
cally and persistently opposed the ef-
forts of the Democratic house in the
direction Of economy and reform, the
house under Democratic auspices has,
nevertheless, 50 far succeeded as to
make an average annual saving Of
TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
The appropriations made by Congress
for Che four years Of Democratic ascen.
dancy in the House Of Representatives,
are in fact less by one hundred and
two millions of dollars than the appro-
priations for the four years preceding,
and this notwithstanding the fact that
these four years have witnessed vast
increase in the growth and population
of the country.
We submit that this saving of the
round sum of one hundred millions OF
dollars to the people of these United
States, and the tightening of the bur
den of taxation to a corresponding de-
gree, effected through the influence CT
a Democratic House Of Representa-
tives, is a fact worthy to be taken into
consideration by the people in deter
mining which of the two great parties
can most safely be trusted with the ad-
ministratiOn of the government, fact
which should and will weigh more in
theestimation intellectual and practical
men than all the silly sophistries and
appeals to passion and prejudices in
which the radical press may indulge.

NOT AEsoLTTELY EssExruAL.

Eastern Democratic papers zre laying
much stress ON the Importance of the
pending elections in Ohio and Naw
York. It must be admitted that these
two are large and important factors in
politics, and it Is not surprising that
they are looked upon as pivotal states
by the politicians in both parties, but it
may be well for men of both parties to
remember that the result of the next
Presidentialelection does not necessarily
turn upon either or both of these States.
The Republicans might carry both Of
these States and still be defeated. At
the elections last fall in Indiana, Hi
nois, Michigan and Wisconsin the Re,
publieans were in decided minority in
each Of these States, and there is at
least fair chance for Democratic sue
cess in ali of them. Their combined
electoral vote is precisely what IS nee
essary in addition to the vote of the
Southern States to make mp a majority
in the electoral college. In figuring mp
the chances this little fact NAV be prop
erly borne in mind.

Is A PROMISE TO PAY APTGR DEATH
VALID ?

Judge Hanna of PhiIadelphia rules
in the affirmative. In settling the es-
tate of Frederick Dewald, the executors
found this claim against it: One
year after my death 1 promise to pay
to the order of Charles Krupp, one city
bond of $1,000, without defalcation.
for value received, without interest.
FREDERICK DEwALD." The note was
signed in consideration of Krupp's
moving out of house owned by the
testator The payment was contested
by the executors, but the Judgment of
the Court was against them. The
Judge remarked sIf debtor can
enter into verbal or written contract
for the payment either Of money, goods
or chattels during his lifetime, and
which can be enforced against him be
fore his death, and afterward against
bis estate, it is difficult to understand
why he cannot enter into a similar con-
tract to be performed by his legal rep
resentatives after his death, and which
would be sustained against them."
