The New York Sun says:-"Let no
democrat forget why the present dem
ocratic majority in the house exists. Its
mission happens to be as clearly under
stood and distinctly defined as if these
words were engrossed ON the face of
every members cerficate Of election:
Guard the treasury, stop the stealing,
stop the waste, drive off the lobbyists,
limit all appropriations to the actual
needs of government, r%e-establish hon
esty and economy in the expenditure
of the peoples money!" That is all
right. 1t is for these reasons that a
majority Of democrats in the country
wish to see Mr.. Randall chairman of
the committee on appropriations. There
was another, and an overwhelming
issue discussed in the last congression-
al election, namely, to-wit, as the
lawyers say, the tariff. Tariff reform
was promised by every mothers son
of a democrat elected. On that issue a
large majority of democrats are for Mr.
Carlisle for speaker.

MIR. GRAVES POSITION ON THE
sPEAKERsHIP.

Hon. Alexander Graves being Intercepted by
the Intslligencer as to his position on the speak
ership just before be left tor Washington sub
mitted a. his carefully considered uttersnce the
following letter written by him to the New York
Star:
'The selection of speaker OF the house Ia the
outward manifestation Of the principles and
Policy of the majority or dominant party in that
body. In the organization he is its chief officer,
and will 10 a great extent mould the character
of legislation in the formation Of its committees.
as well as by reason OF his controlling influence
as affecting the deliberations Of the body over
which he presides. The democratic party has a
very pronounced majority in the Forty-eighth
congress, and from its members there should
be no difficulty IN selecting q good presiding
offcer. But while that officer is expected to be
perfectly versed IN parliamentary law. and to
exercise his high authority in fairness and JUS
tice to every interest. he is also, or ought TO be,
the exponent of the principles Of that political
party by which he ID endowed with the preroga-
tive of speaker. In either OF the great parties
may be found disagreement and dissent touch
ing matters of revenue and tariff. according to
the interests affected and predominant in differ
ent localities"
''But there are distinctive principles which
separate the Oem0cr2LlC party from the republic
can, upon this Us well as nearly every other sub
ject Of Legislation. including the principles and
functions of the federal government. While each
Of the gentlemen named in connection with the
of6cedeserves we'll of the country and of their
party for distinguished service, l feel that the
interests of the Fifth Missouri District, and Of
the greatest number regardless of geographical
location. would he most faithfully and adequate
ly represented in the selection of Hon. s. 8.
Cox. His congressional record 10 the record Of
democracy for nearly q quarter OF O century.
In a long and honorable service, in no instance
has his voice or his vote been engaged save In
the interests Of perfect justice and equality. And
this Is true OF him in every passage OF his official
and legislative life, whether the question con-
cerned the equal distribution Of the burdens and
benefits of government, or the maintenance OF
equality before the law, of corporate and midi
vidual interests. or the equal and just bearing
Of legislation touching questions Of rev.
enue, tariff or finance, or the general principles
which should control in the conduct Of govern
nnent, and applicable to the Interpretation of It's
functions. His record certiHes HIM to be = true
and representative dem ~ecrat."

ness and good faith are his characteristics; and,
finally. New York may we'll claim his promo
ton in recognition of her great Empire "a u

Hon. Alex. Graves, expresses himself as favor

they do'notas thoroughly represent the demsc-
racy OF the. west as does Mr.. Carlisle of Ken

of Carlisle. Then is not the position of congress

A COMPLIMENT TO DR.. GOsEwIsOH.
DR.. Theodore Gosewisch who has recently
returned from Europe, is now in our city.
He is a skillfuI surgeon, makes the eye, ear
and throat a specially. 1t can be. truly said
of this young physician that he has made the
blind to see, and the deaf to hear. One in
stance, "a young man who had to be led around,
in less than two months could see to read.
Another instance, we had glaucoma of the
eye, and was told by several that there was no
cure. We called on DR.. Gosewisch, who to
our joy, provided q cure for it. We knew
that what he said could be relied on, and af-
ter a successful operation on our eyes, we
feel that in a short time we will be fully re-
stored to our sight. 1t is truly astonishing to
see the various instruments he uses in ex-
amining the ear. He has been kept busy in
attending patients in curing the above
diseases We deeply regret his departure for
the east, and hope that he will ere long re-
turn and locate among those who will ever
bless and honor him. We have had many
noted men Who have been raised in our town
and have sought their homes and fortunes in
other states; but none will ever hold u higher
name in the temple of fame than DR.. Il. S.
Gosewisch. Respectfully,

There has been q surprising falling off
in the shipping business of Chicago this
year, the total of vessels and tonnage that
arrived being less than in any year since
1873, the clear1ngs fewer than in any
year since 1878, and the tonnage cleared
lower than in any year since 1879. The
arrivals for the ten months ending with
October were 1928, or 1,7s5 less than
in 1882; the tonnage 3,2S9, 566 tons, Or
1 zoos, 1892 less than in 1882; ~clearances,
1O,427, or 1000 less than in 1882, with
a tonnage OF 3,695,s51, or 1853, 979 less
than in 1882. If the arrivals are as nu-
merous in November and December
as they were last year, there
will still be a shortage of 1875
vessels and more than 1000, 900 tons, as
compared with 1882 and the %clearances
would, on the same superstition, fall off
over 1900 vessels and over 700, 700 tons.
Most of this falling off is in the shipment
of grain, and this despite the increased
productiveness Of the great northwest
so long subsidiary to Chicago. The
loss is to be accounted fer, no matter
what other specious reasons may be
assigned, by the growing popularity of
the Mississippi all water route to Eu-
rope. When New York falls off ma
terially in its receipts and exports Of
grain, with Chicago in sympathetic re-
latien to its condition, at the same time
that New Orleans doubles its exports
of wheat and corn in a year the story is
soon told. The revolution has COM
menced. 1t will not 60 backward. No
Hennepin canals can ever check it.
The Philadelphia Telegraph .(rep.)
gives its, party this warming: "Phe
party will not fight under the Bloody
Shirt in 1884. 1t will not keep open
or reopen the bloody gulf which once
divided north and south. It will not
support Mahoneism any more than it
would longer support Grantism. 1t
wants an; honest fight for honorable
men and principles, or it will have
none. Let leaders and organs take
notice."
