A Plain Answer.

The Rome Tribune, paper that ought
to know better, and probably does know
better, asks this question:
"For ten years the Democratic party
has had charge of the State. In all that
time has it done anything to lessen the
taxes or lift the burdens from the op-
pressed people?'
After asking this question, the Tribune
answers it in the negative. The real
truth of the case is this:
In ten years the Democratic party has
reduced the taxes of the people Just ex
actly one-half. The tax rate in Georgia
is now just one-haf what it was even
six years ago. This is a record no other
State can show.
In ten years the Democratic party has
reduced the cost of running the govern
ment of the State more than one half. 1t
has reduced the salary of every official
that serves the State from errand boy to
Chief Justice. 1t has reduced every
special fund and every appropriation to
nearly one half and many of them to one
third. This reduction has been gradual
and constant.
In ten years it has so lifted the credit
bonds has been reduced from 10 per
cent. to per cent, and of the floating
debt from 8 per cent. to 5. Ithas raised
the credit of the State so that our low
per cent. bonds now bring more than the
high per cent. bonds brought few years
ago.
The saving to the people from the re-
duction of expenses and interest is so
great, that even the half taxes now col
lected make a surplus where the high
taxes formerly left deficiency. And
the Legislature discussed at its last ses-
sion the propriety Of still further lower
ing the taxes.
We submit these facts to the Tribune.
There is no State in the length or breadth
of this Union can make a better show
ing. With no more excuse for com
plant or abuse than these facts furnish
we are at a loss to know why the editor
of the Tribune should seek to "befoul
his own nest" Without looking for his
reasons, however, we hasten to put the
old State right on the recordl

What President Arthur Intends to

Net0 York Cor. Philadelphia Ledger.
All attempts to draw from President
Arthur an expression of opinion touching
the reported ''scene" between him and
Attorney General Mac Veagh, as chroni-
cled in Washington paper, have been
signal failures The President, with a
becoming sense of his own dignity, very
properly declines to gossip on the subject;
but nevertheless this may be confidently,
if not authoritatively affirmed, that he is
determined that Guiteau shall be brought
to trial at the earliest possible moment, as
he has no idea of giving his enemies the
slightest opportunity for insinuating
that, as Guiteau's crime has made HIM
President, he is inclined therefore to be
unduly lenient to Guiteau himself. There
were some cruel things said of Mr.. Ar
thur just after the assassination of Presi
dent Garfield, and these he has not for
gotten. He is determined that the coun-
try shall have the fullest demonstration
of the injustice of the insinuations in
question, and if Mr.. MacVeagh will not
facilitate the trial, ways and means will
be found for proceeding without him.
The President, in short, occupies the
same position with regard to Guiteau as
he does to the star route frauds; he does
not intend to be saddled with either, and
the gentlemen whose Official business it
is to prosecute both to the hitter end, he
is determined shall be strictly held to
their responsibility before the country.

AdulteratiOn of American Cotton.
Pail Mou Gozeffo

Complaints having been made of the
enormous quantities of sand found in
bales of American cotton, Col Shaw,
the United States Consul at Manchester,
visited an Oldham cotton mill on Octo-
Der 10, where a new bale, purchased at
Liverpool a few days previous, was found
to contain a barrowful of white sand. He
has promised to forward details of an
inquiry he has made to the United States
Government.
Another form of cotton adulteration
has been exposed in East Lancashire.
Complaint had been made by the share
holders of the HOLLYWOOD Cotton Com
pany that the directors had not done
their best in working the concern, and a
resolution was moved calling upon them
to resign. This, however, they declined
to do, the chairman stating that they
could not do more than they had done.
because of the extensive adulteration OF
American cotton. Not only did it con-
tain larger quantities of dirt and sand, but
in one bale was found three pounds of
oyster shells, for which, of course, they
had to pay the aame price as cotton.

MADISON October 81. 1.-Edttor Morning Netcs:
Being an old subscriber and constant reader of
your valuable paper, an article in the WEEKLY
News on ''Staggers" has induced me to give
you bit of my experience with the disease,
in the hope that others may act upon my crude
suggestions and eventually a rational treat
ment of the disease may be arrived at. have
seen great many cases of staggers and have
lost horses and mules by it. There always was
some horse docGor near Dy who would be
Judgment to his. But being
an M. D., observed the disease closely, and
after much reflection, feel satisfied that the
staggers in the horse is similar to congestive
fever IN man, and the same remedies which an-
swer in one case will be effective 10 the other.
| never bleed for staggers; if you do, the ami
mai is sure to die. use strong solution of
morphine, injected under the skin, Just under
the jaw, or behind the fore-leg, or along the
spine. l repeat this until observe its effects
upon the horse; then keep it up at longer in
tervals. At the same time ! give holus OF
and one of aloes. Sometimes this will not
work him, but that makes no difference. You
may repeat it next day ii you wish. The

bag folded and kept wet over his head and be-
tween his ears, / have found of great benefit,
Since adopting the above mode OF treatment
have saved sverh horses which think would
otherwise have died. One great fault is, that
we give too much medicine, and do not wait
long enough for any remedy to do good.
would just as soon bleed man with conges-
tive fever as to take blood from horse with
the staggers In both cases death is certain.
While writing let me give you remedy
which have used very often without ever fail

his tail off to make it ble ed, then make bolus
