What Has the Democratic Party Done ?

Before the Ohio election the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette asked what the
Democratic party had done for the coun-
try during the past twenty-five years.
OF course, it is easy to ask a question
like that, and in connection with the
fact that the Democrats have been given
very limited opportunity to do much di-
rectly for the country in that time, the
question is comparatively a safe one on
the eve of election. But it is not in
tended for thoughtful men. They know
that in the mad riot of Republican pas
sions Immediately succeeding the war,
the result that the war brought about
would have been thrown away, and
condition of affairs but little better than
anarchy would have ensued had not the
Democratic party been a constant check
upon constitutional encroachment and
upon the wanton wastefulness that was
one of the dominant resultant evils of
the war. We are glad that Senator Bay
ard in his speech at Orange, N. j., Tues
day night, dwelt upon the true service
and value of the Democratic party
since the war. 1t fully answered all
such foolish and impudent questions and
sneers as that which supplies the reason
for this article. Mr.. Bayard said
'.The Democratic party has had great
usefulness simply by standing upon the
principles of restraint upon power
What will history say of the events of
the last fifteen years? 1t will say that
those men who, in minority and defeat,
held fast to the principles of constitu-
tional liberty, are the men who really
saved the Union. There is not to-day
problem of finance or economy which
gives us trouble or calamity that can
not be traced back to a violation of the
limitations on power placed by the Con-
stitution. Do you believe that the Civ
ing of the vote to the negro Immediate

negroes were numerousp It vas hypo-
crital act. So was the Civil-rights bill,
which was disingenous attempt to in
terfere with the police duties of the States
for the purpose of binding the negro to
the Republican political car. If these
laws were not being every, day declared
unconstitutional this Republic would
be doomed. Instead of United States
we would have United State-a unit
instead of Union.'' This is a sharp,
strong and discriminating presentation
of important facts. It is this restraint
upon power that has won by sure de-
grees the confidence of people embit
tered and demoraEzed by the most ire
mendous internal strife in the world
history, until at last twenty-six of the
United States have Democratic Cover
nors and the American people have
solid ground for the now general ex-
pectation that the next President will
be q Democrat. Yes, within the last
twenty years the Democrats have done
their full share to preserve the integrity
of the Union; and though they have
struggled against great odds and a des-
perate opposition. with many mistakes,
no doubt, they have made constant pro-
gress, and the party will stand again as

present time some Il, O00,O Of trees
viz, 6,O19, Oil large forest trees and s.
373,566 mulberries, resinous and orna-
mental trees. According to the official
returns there are 27S, 1875 hectares COW
cred with cork oak, 605,622 with ever
green oak, 1912 with cedar, while
the remainder of the forest area is oc-
cupied by the tree known as oak-zeen.
Aleppo pine, thuya, wild olive. euca-
lyptus, pistachio. locust bean, broom,
etc. The majority of the cork trees are
in the province OF Constantine, ringing
the coast line of La Gale and Bougie.
Here also grows the oak-zeen, peculiar
oak, but has leaf like chestnut.
Some of these trees, and especially in
the forest of Skira, on the Tunis from
tier, grow to colossal size and are ex-
cellent for ship-building purposes. The
chestnut f1ourishes in the forest of
Edough, near Bona, while the plains in
the neighborhood of the coast contain
elm and ash, and the river valleys will

chains of the Atlas range are covered
with evergreen oak, mingled with
broom and sweet acorn oaks. On tho
ranges above are the thuya, Aleppo
pine, and maple, though these latter
are limited in their localities, such as
the Aures hills and the environs of
Bathna, where the SUBMITS of the
mountains are thickly planted with
cedar. Toward the coast of the prov
ince of Algiers are the forests of Sahel
and Mazafran, near Koleah, the latter
possessing huge ash trees interlaced
with the wild vine; but the true forest
country does not commence until we
reach the Atlas Mountains, where are
the forests of Ak-Fordoun, with very
large oak-zeens, the forest of Beni-Me-
nasser consisting principally of wild
olive, the forest of Ourensenis, of thuya
and Aleppo pine, and the venerable for
est of Teniet-el-H Had, where the cedars
are from fifteen feet to eighteen feet in
circumference and from forty-five feet
to one hundred feet in height. The
province of Duran is enormously said
to be bare of trees, but, though they are
rather scanty in the coast section, the
plateaux of the mountains are heavily
timbered, especially beyond Mascara as
far as Sebdou. The forest of Duya in
this neighborhood is at least forty thou
sand acres in extent, principally of ev-
ergreen oak, thuya and Aleppo pine

The Alkaline Gazette makes the state
ment that Clicks man Gle, the new
fish commissioner of this state, knows
as much about fish culture as 3 ten year
old school boy. This isn't SO bad on
Click and Gle after all. Some ten year
old school boys, for instance, know a
deal more about fish than their school
studies. This, however, does not go to
prove that Gle will put to good use the
$4,000 which the Legislature has ap-
propria ted for his handling.

A STORMY YEAR:

1888 has come in like lion, and it is
TO be hoped it will 60 out like a lamb.
It has been distinguished hereto by the
violence of the elements. We have had
great floods, both in Europe and the
Enite& States. There have been ''bliz-
zard." tsmpests, violent snOw-storms,
and earthquakes, and the atmospheric
disturbances have extended throughout
the globe. 1t is remarkable, by the
way, that dusing this reign of storms the
number of ssso-spots was unusually
large. Meteorologists ara beginning TO
think that there iSrsally some relation
between these eruptions on the face of
the sun and the atmospheric disturb
ances on this planet. Nor is this all /;
the number of distinguished deadi is un-
usually large. There is, however, one
consolation; pestilences, once So Justly
dreaded, are now very rare. True, this
country has seen epidemics of cholera
and yellow fever, but plaques, the black
death of the middle ages, and the pes
tilences so common in all history, are
nnkDOw in this generation. 1t has been
found to be within the limits Of human
providence to stamp out contagious
diseases. and prevent their spread. No
doubt. when the twentieth century is
well advanced, sanitary science will be
so far perfected as not only to ward off
pestilences, bat to prevent q great many
deaths which now needlessly oocur.-

HON. B. F.IozIER.

Monday morning a gloom was cast
over our people by the report of the
sudden death of Hon. B. F. Lozier, on
the evening before, and as no one knew
of his serious sickness of course all were
surprised.
Mr.. L. was among the first settlers
of the county, we believe, taking part
in the organization of the county in the
summer of 1872; being the junior mem
Der of the leading business firm in the
county at that time, of Dean, Parsons &
Lozier, who, at one time, owned three
fourths of the property OF Kirwin, and
drew fully that part of the townsite
when it was proved up on. They also
owned the most of the stock in the Kir-
win Town Company.
Mr.. Lozier may well be called one of
the foremost men, and his death re-
moves the last of that energetic firm to
whom Kirwin owes her prosperity as a
town; Mr.. Dean having sold out and
Mr.. Parsons having died few months
ago.
Almost constantly since the organi-
zatiOn of the county he has held
some official position for years mem
Der of the school board, and trus-
tee of the township. In 1875 elected
commissioner of the 1st district; in 1876
he was elected to represent Phillips
county in the State Legislature, and al
though not a public speaker-never
having made speech, to our knowl.
edge-he was as good a member as this
county has ever had.
For some time his health has been
poor, and this winter he lost two of his
three children from scarlet fever and
the other has been very sick; the care
incident to their sickness seemed tc
give him downward move from which
he could not recuperate, and thus pass
es away one of the leading figures il

At the time of his death he was pos

THE LESSON OF THE FLOODS.

The foods in the Ohio, which did
such damage to the whole valley and
destroyed SO much property at Cincin-
natl and Louisville, emphasize the fact
more than once adverted to in these col
ums, that the nation should not only
put stop to the waste of forests; but
should take measures to re-plant with
trees the ground bordering on the head
water of all our great streams. The
spring floods and summer drOuths are,
it is well know, almost entirely due to
the destruction of the forests on the
border of streams, and the hill countries
in which our famous rivers take their
rise. Every year we now have disas-
trOus floods either on the sea coast or
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. The
individual States affected cannot attend
to this matter. 1t must be done by the
nation or not at all. Not only property
but life is often destroyed by these
floods. Had the Ohio risen few feet
higher, both Cincinnati and Louisville
would have been practically destroyed.
The ancient Egyptians built gigantic
works to prevent disastrous foundations
from the rising of the Nile. Artificial
lakes and resivors were construc ted so
that the water can be drawn off, and
the land saved from the destruction of
the rising flood. It would be economy
to spend 800, 100000 in improving our
internal waterway, but Congressman
are timid about appropriating money,
in view of the odium heaped upon them
by the press in connection with the last
River and Harbor Bill. We have not
only the largest sea coast in the world,
but our internal waterways are the most
extensive on the globe. In spite of the
press, the nation will be forced to build
the necessary levees, and provide the
dams and resivors which will prevent
excessive flooding, until such time as
the newly planted forest shall be grown
which will put stop to both floods and
drouth. = Demorest's Monthly for

and had somewhat impatiently cut him
short in some OF his remarks, Col. In

In most new States, the rate of taxa

IN most new States, the rate of taxa
ton increases for many years, but in
Kansas it has been different. Our rate
for State purposes was ten mills on the
dollar in 1869; "a mills in 1879; 8
mills in 1871; 8 1-2 mills in 1872; 6
mills in 1S73-4-5; 1.2 mills in 1851

FACT AND ASSERTION.

The Topeka Journal declares that
''the people have confidence in the Gov
ernOr, but they have no confidence in
this Executive Council.;' What basis is
there for such an assertion? Governor
Click and all the members of the Ex-
ecutive Council were elected at the
same time, and the vote of the people,
at that election, certainly fails to justify
such assertion. The vote for Secretary
of State Smith was 99,282; for Treas
urer Howe, 99,O67; for Attorney Gene
raj Johnston, 99,125; for Superinten-
dent Speer, SO, 1853; for Auditor McC abe,
sc, 16O; and for Governor Click, 82,237.
These six gentlemen constitute the Ex-
ecutive Council, and the vote shows that
the people gave each one of them a
larger vote than they gave Governor
Click. The facts, therefore, do not JUS
tify the Journals statement. And facts
are stubborn things, when put against
reckless assertio NJ Champion.
