THE people should practice rigid econ
Omy. There are about twenty Congress
siOnal committees who will go junketing
with their sisters and their cousins and
their aunts" during the summer at Tie
public expense. Our Congressman are
just greedy for facts, and will hunt for
them in palace cars and at watering
places all summer. This devotion to
business, on the part of our public ser
wants, is touching, and should call forth
the applause of the multitude.

ADvICES from France state that the
crops are a failure and that it will be
necessary to purchase large quantities
of cereals from other countries. The
United States will be able to supply
their wants. The crops Of this country
promise to be abundant and of the best
quality. The increased demand should
have tendency to improve prices and
make better times for the farmers, and
when they prosper all other branches of
business feels the effect.

The Republican candidate for Cover
nor of Maine, Mr.. Davis, served as a pri-
vate during the war. He was offered a
promotion and declined. Only thirty
six years of age now, he had scarcely
reached manhood then. He is lawyer

COMMISSIONER of Pensions Bentley has
issued circular inviting attention to
the fact that by virtue of an act of Con-
gress, approved June 81, 1879, the bien-
NAL examination of invalid pensioners
is abolished from that date. The prOvi-
sion of the law simply repeats the sec
lions of the revised statutes providing
for such biennial examinations.

INSTRUCTIONS have been given by At
tOrney General Devens to the effect that
the refusal of Congress to appropriate
money for their fees does not prevent
United States Marshals from performing
all the duties of their office. They will,
however, be compelled to take their
chances of ever getting paid through an
appropriation hereafter.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1879-07-12

A WASHINGTON evening paper says
Senator Chandler has offered to loan the
government 100000 to pay marshals'
fees. Mr.. Chandler says he did not offer
any such thing, but thinks there will be
money raised by subscription to pay the
marshals, the subscribers trusting tOa
future appropriation to reimburse them.

SENATOR LAMAR gives rather gloomy
account of the labor troubles in Missis-
sippi. He found the Kansas fever rag
ing among the cOlOred people to a great
er degree than he had believed. Even
those on his own place have touch of
it, although the relations between EN-
plOyer and employees in this case have
been exceptionally good.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1879-07-12

ONE of the indisputable signs that the
business of the country has revived
largely is the fact that internal revenue
receipts for the year ending June 80,
1879, were three and half millions
larger than the same receipts fer the
year ending June 80, 1878; and this not
withstanding the decrease of the taxes
on tobacco. The receipts from customs
duties for the year just ended were six
millions greater than for the previous
year. When demagogues talk about
continued hard times, let them explain
away these figures if they can.
