The Happy Family,

Garfield has been in the Presidential
chair little oyer month and al
ready there has broken out in the
Radical camp a most bitter and re-
lentless war. Washington dispatches
represent Congling as having donned
the war paint and openly charging the
President with bad faith. He alleges
that Garfield had given him to under
stand that he would make no appoint
ments Objectionable to the Conkling
men, and that he had broken faith by
appointing Judge Robertson Collector
of Customs for the Port of New York
and VIM. L. Chandler Solicitor of the
Treasury. He claims that the con-
Armation of Robertson would tend di-
rectly to the disruption of the Repub-
lican party in his own State and
declares that although he may be
beaten in the first contest, the battle
will be carried outside the Senate, and
involve the rank and file of the party.
Blaine is said to be at the bottom of the
business, and it is charged that he,
with the consent of the President, is
welding the executive patronage in
his own and against Conkling. 1t is
a fight between the Republican fac
tions for the spoils, and one in which
the Democrats feel about the same in
terest that good wife did in that be-
tween her husband and the bear.
Let the fight 60 bravely on.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The books
of the Treasury Department show an
extraordinary increase in the exports
Of merchandise from the United States.
This increase is of such character as
to attract the attention OF Treasury
officials, and common quiry among
them is when is it to stop? Is il pos
sible for this marvellous rate Of increase
to continue many years II 80. II
will bring about some txirAor!ili ary
results Detailed returns oil exports
from the various American ports haye
been received and. .tabulated, covering
the year ending February 2S last, and
the aggregate exports for these twelve
molths foots up nearly one billion OF
d szlars! The exact figures are $9O4,-
454, ,223, or about two and half mill
lions OF dollars day! So extraordi-
nary an aggregate of exports was ney-
er known before. The list embraces
almost every known article of con-
sumption, but principally meats and
breadstuffs, and the various prepared
articles, such as cHnned meats and
fruits. Also, heavy article of export
is coal Gil, which now comes almost
entirely from a single county in Penn
sylvania, about eighty miles south OF
Buffalo.
1t is question much discussed
among officials as to how long this
extraordinary doubling up process in
exports can continue. lVthere any
practical limit to it? Should tho in
crease in the next year be equal to that
during the year ending the lst OF
March, The aggregate of exports will
reach about one thousand and fifty
millions of dollars.
Tho imports have also increased to
a remarkable degree, although by no
means keeping pace with the exports.
During the year mentioned, while the
exports were 5000 100000 in value, the
imports were $S79,000.000. This is a
very heavy increase over previous
years, showing that with increased
wealth there is an increased disPosi-
tion to purchase foreign luxuries.
The range of articles OF export is
constantly increasing, and the list en-
braces a vast array of articles, to emu
meiate which would occupy columns
of space in the newspapers. SO far as
can be judged by the figures mention
ed, we are in the midst of an era OF
unexampled prosperity. There is ev-
cry indication that the United States
is to become the richest section of the
globe. The possibilities are boundless.
Another matter relating to our fu.
fure growth attracting general atten-
tion among prominent officials, is the
increase in immigration. During the
current year it promises to be the
largest ever known. 1t is now more
than double what it was one year ago.
An estimate based upon the number
who have arrived during January,
February and March, shows that it is
very probable over half million will
arrive during the year, and possibly
very msny more. This is equal to one
per cen. of the present population
The natural increase in population il
nearly Two ard One-half per cent. q
year, aud add the immigration, the
increase will be equal to a net gain OF
between three and three and hall
per cent. annually. This means a gain
of about 100000 people by the time
the next census is taken, making cuI
population in 1890 about 65,OOo000.

SOME Republicans are greatly troub-
party upon the tariff question. They
will be yet more troubled. The Dem
ocratic idea is that the tariff is sys-
TEN of taxation sanctioned by the
constitution, to collect revenue to pay
the debts Of and carry on the govern
ment. This tax should not be levied
merely TO put millions In the pockets
of private individuals. The constitu-
ton gives to Congress no such power,
and it is not Justice. The Democratic
party believe in collecting revenue to
carry on the government by tariff,
but arranged in accordance with jus
tice and right.-[Stark Co. Dem.

tons 10 various public offices pending
before the Senate. and it was for the
confirmation of these that the Senate
was convened in extra session. To dc
the werk for which it was called does
not require that that body shall be
newly Differed, but, under the direc-
ton of king caucus, the Republican
Senators declare that, disregarding
the former practices in that respect,
they will neglect all business for
which they were convened, and sit in
their chamber all summer until they
have rewarded the little repudiator
and "rebel brigadier," Billy Malone,
for his treachery. And still they have
the audacity to charge the Democracy
with delaying the public business.

WHEN during the famine years the
Irish landlords shipped starving Irish
peasants to this country by the ship
load, the London Times gloated over
the fact, and ended a savage article by
declaring that the Celts were going
with vengeance, and that the Cells
would be soon as scarce in Ireland as
red Indians in the New England States.
Its prediction has not yet been fulfill.

from the Irish emigration statistics.

The Secret Of Happiness.

How often have we longed for per-
feet enjoyment and how seldom found
it. Misfortune has come, or ill health
overtaken US. Perhaps a cough has
come upon US, which threatens that

what joy should we be filled then,
when such a remedy as DIR. KINGS

placed within our reach. It has cured
thousands who were nearer the grave
than ourselves and made their lives
peaceful and happy. Asthma, Bron-
chitis, Hoarseness. Loss of voice, diff

Louisiana Negroes:

On tie Both ult. a delegation of
about fifty colorcd men, representing
the colored Republicans of Louisiana,
called upon President Garfield and
presented a handsomely engrossed
address, setting forth the views and
wishes of the colored people of their
State. The address, which is quite
long, claims the colored race in Lou
isiana has kept pace with the rest of
the Union in the march of progress !;
that they pay taxes on $25,0O0,OOO Of
property, and by their labor raise sew
en.eights of the sugar and rice crop,
and .eighths of the cotton crop ;
that they ask no new legislation, only
the honest enforcement of existing
laws for their protection, especially
equal participation in the advantages
of the public school system, aud the
freedom and protection of the right of
suffrage. The President in reply ex.
pressed his qualification at the pro-
gress and material prosperity of the
colored race as evidenced by the state
ments of the address. He renewed
the assurances of his inaugural ad-
dress, and urged upon their consider
alton the importance to their race OF
their education and personal owner
ship of the soil upon which they liye
and toll.
Certainly these evidences of ad-
vancement in material wealth do not
furnish proof that the colored race
in that State have suffered the great
wrongs and prosecutions at the hands
of their white peighbors as the Radi-
cal politicians howl about Just on IL g
eve of every important election.

AS TIE Republican President and
Senators are now tempted to give
Senator Malone and his reputation
followers the entire Federal patronage
in Virginia, expecting that he, in re.
turn, will give them the State at the
next election, they would do well to
consider Mahone's protested political
promises of the past. Last year, when
the Democracy of the Nation and the
Republicans of Virginia repudiated
Malone and his reputation, he issued
the following bombastic circular to
followers, and made. it public to the
world:
COMMITTEE Rooms, J
READJUsTER ORGANIzATIoN,

Let me assure you. l do confidently,
that your electoral ticket, headed by

81 TO Hancock, will carry the State by
plurality Of 25.OO0; that it will beat
either the Funder or Gripsack ticket

WILLIAM MALONE.
The response OF the people of Vir-
ginia was $4,000 for the honest debt
paying Democratic electors; $4,000
for the Republican electors, called the
Grip-sack ticket by Malone, and 3D.
600 for the Malone reputation Dem
ocratic electors. Then the honest Re-
publican debt-payers, embracing some
of the ablest men of the State, cordial
Iy supported the Republican ticket

Destructive Flood.

A Bismark, Dakota, dispatch of last
Thursday says:
A great breakup of the river at
Missouri Point occurred yesterday.
The water which had accumulated and
was held in check by gorges of ice,
finally broke loose in a mad torrent,
and the water soon registered thirty
feet above high wafer mark. The
steamer bachelor was wrecked. and
the steamer Eclipse was also carried
away. The settlers in the lowlands
arc homeless, and no doubt many have
been drowned. Three deer were seen
floating away on a cake of ice.

THE Republicans are still unable to
deliver to the unrepentant "rebel
brigadier," Billy Malone, the price of
his treachery. There don't seem to be
much disposition to yield by either
party. The Republicans declare their
purpose to continue the session all
summer and obstruct the business for
which the session was called rather
than be prevented from keeping faith
with the Virginia repudiator. The
Democrats ought to be able to stand it
if the RAIDS can.
