the skillful playing by Miss Miriam Scott

The integrity and trustworthiness of re-.
publican rule is illustrated in no more
forcible manner than in the steady reduc-
ton OF the public debt During the
month of September the reduction was
$S,947 ,69l,6S. Fifteen years ago the total
reached its maxlmum-$2,75 6 ,431, 571.
Now it is Sl,9l5,594, 1874 falling off of
$84O,837 1888. This great burden, remem-
Der, was rolled upon the shoulders of the
country by democratic administrations
and through the efforts of democrats in
arms to destroy the government. The re-
moval OF so }-s portion of this burden
has been at 4plished solely by the re-.
publican par which saved the country
and honestly provided for the payment
of the expenses.
Commander Cheyne of the British navy
who has himself had some experience in
Arctic expeditions, charges that the starva
ton of Sir. John Franklin's unfortunate
companions was due to the rascality of the
contractor, who furnished the expedition
with canned meats so putrid that the,
could not be eaten The same contractor.
he says, supplied for another expedition.
of which Commander Cheyne was mem
Der, meats which were nothing but offal,
and had to be thrown away. Commander
Cheyne calls for an inquest upon the
remains of Lieutenant lvering, at which
he says he will testify and prove these
charges. This would indeed be bringing
to light a crime which has long been
buried in darkness and silence, for it was
thirty-five years ago that Sir John Frank.
lin started on his last expedition.
