THE CAUSE OF OUR PROSPERITY,


The party for more than five years has had
control OF one branch of Congress, and for
nearly two years of both branches What has
it done, or proposed to do, to benefit the pub
lie, or to eyince any disposition to bring about
reforms? 1t set out with great pretence of
reducing the expenses of the government. 1t
clipped here and there the salaries of clerks or
reduced their number, and in some cases seri-
ously obstructed the public business. Ii with
held necessary appropriations for time to
show reduction of expenses, but was COM
PEELED to make them good by deficiency bills.
L have before me table showing the appro-
priatiOns that have been made by Congress
each year for each branch of the service since
1873. III 1915, the last year in which the re-
publicans had majority in both houses, the
appropriations made for the fiscal year 1876
were 147,714,940. AT the next session the
democrats controlled the House. and by refus-
ing to appropriate for some Of the most neces-
Sary expenses OF the government, reduced the
appropriations to 1924, 1872 010 and the follow
ing year, in order to c0erce the President by q
failure to pass the Army bill and to provide
1or other necessary expenses they reduced the
appropriations to $8S, $50, 1888; but at the fol
lowing session, to make good these deficien-
cies and to repair the faults committed, they
appropriated $172, 0I6,S 800, being $25, 100000
more than was appropriated in 1876; and in
1880 they appropriated $162, ,647 and for
1881 they appropriated 1854, 1922, or 81, 000,
600 more than the appropriations made the
last year the republicans controlled the House

 Letter to Gentleman in Springfield, Mass.l
 Your letter seems to call for an opinion in regard to third term, without reference to the person to be voted for. I shall answer it therefore without reference to persons now this national habit having been formed by questioned right, under the constitution, of electing the chief magistrate as often. either by successive or by intermediate choices, as the people may think ft,-is the preservation of that habit of any essential importance That it may be very important in the course of ages to make an exception to it is of course for the constitution to continue as it is; but take place, beyond question second term or @ third or even single term would be made the limit within which the tenure of this office must remain.
 Now I need say nothing of the importance of national hab1ts-that is, especially, ofprac- tical limitations which the good sense of a people puts on it's own liberty of action in the political sphere. One effect of breaking once the habit in question would be the opportuni- ty held out to clique within party, of con. tinuing their special influence in the govern ment by the election of one who is indebted to them for his success. In government like ours such a clique becomes al-powerful and selfish, so that the sooner it is disbanded the better. Another effect is that the Presi- dent after two terms would be tempted to &C., cept the offers of his friends to endeavor to

IT. B. Osborne Knocks the Bottom Ou'
 of E. l.. Bakers Claim.
 10 the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 observe in your paper of April l com munication from E. l.. Baker, which calls foz 2 reply from me. I do not claim to have dis covered the fact that an electrified surface will attract bran and other light particles. That has been known for centuries. But l claim to have invented and constructed the first machine ever made for the ap- plication of that force to thspurifying of wheat middlings. My attention was directed to this subject by my friend Kingsland Smith. He had made experiments directed to this end long before he ever saw MT. Baker, as he can prove incontestibly at the proper time. This is noteworthy, however, that MT. Baker says his interview with MT. Smith occurred Sept 4, 1879. can prove by abundant testimony that had commenced the construction of my machine long before that time.
 In constructing my machine, obtained no ideas from MT. Baker or from any one else, nor does Mir. Baker pretend that he imparted any method of construction to MT. Smith, or that he has himself yet made any machine, only that he has experimented.
 His proposed method of performing the operation is totally different from mine, as he admits, and his plan will prove impracticable, IS he will learn when he puts it in operation.
