The passage of the Pendleton bill
by the House Thursday will take
the country by surprise. There was
a popular impression that the House
would discuss it in connection with
the kasson bill. The wisdom of
discretion, however, prevailed, and
the measure was pressed through
without debate by an overwhelming
majority. As an entering wedge the
bill will answer well enough. 1t is
set in the right direction. and being
but an initial preceding it may be
expected to take many additions
before the experiment, which it
begins, is complete. Mr.. Pendleton
is to be congratulated upon a species
of good fortune, which, six months
ago, seemed very far from him

Butterworth's bill to cut off about
fifty paymasters and au eqnal num-
Der of clerks from the pay depart
men of the army should pass. 1t
requires under the present system OF
sinecures, over 100 persons to pay
the $4,000 men in the army. The
disbursements are about 100000
annually and the cost of paying out
this sum over $50O,a00. General
Brown says one disbursing officer
with Que or two clerks, can pay the
eutire standing army with ease
The barnacles who have for years
held these fat places aud performed
little labor save drawing their salar-
les, are said to thoroughly frighten-
ed over Butterworth's bill. 1t is
time something stirred them up.
The Standard Oil Company is GER
tainly one of the most bold organic
atoms in this country. By sharp
practice and the use of a little mon
ey it got temporary control Of 100000
acres of land in the Indian terri
tory. So quietly was it done that
no one knew it till the herders were
evicted 1t was finally discovered
that the consent of the secetary of
interior had not been obtained, and
SO the great game was spoiled.

ed with big monopolies.-Iowa

The cuts on the C. n. w. were
filled with snow on Friday the II
inst, and all trains were suspended.
Much difficulty was experienced in
forcing the snow pillow through the

Since that time up to the present
writing the trains have been regular.
Any one wanting to subscribe or
"pay up for the Democrat will find
me at the Post Office ready to give a
receipt for the same.
Why is it that subscription for the
Democrat continue to roll in from
this place and we hear nothing OF
it? Is it because we are so homely
that the ladies don't want to do bus
mess with us, or SO young that the
men are afraid to trust US? Or IS 1t
because they don't know we take
subscriptions?
IF they don't know will some one
kindly help our poverty little by
telling them?

A ROMANTIC CAREER.


W. N. Freeman. a young MissiSsip
plan, set out for Texas Yesterday. Il
this age and day there j. nothing unus
ual about nzan going to Texas, unles:
he has been bank cashier, but ths
seni-romantic career of Mr. Freeman
before being placed in q position by
which he was enabled 10 60 10 the Lone
Star State Is certainly worth paragraph
Last fall Mr. Freeman invented new
and simple machine of some style m
material 10 this story, for baling cotton.
He came to this city with only few
dollars in his pocket, and attempted 70
form a company among the members of
the Cotton Exchange TO operate his pat
ent. None, however, would touch It
The first of the year found Freeman
fiat broke" He had no means here
or elsewhere-nothing except his patent.
He wandered about the. streets borrow
ing or begging a few dimes occasionally
from some Southern or Western man.
This precarioas state of affairs Continued
until some six weeks ago, wheH be made
another tour of the commission hoascs.
In one he found pretty shrewd hasines;
man, who chanced to have a moment Il
spare.
This Is the second time yon have
tried to bore me to death with this de-
vice, said the merchant, sand now III
give you just fifteen minutes to explain
what it can do. But If You are hum
bug | will certainly kick ynn as.ros< the.
ssFeet
This was slight encouragement, but
Freeman went 20 work to point ont the
merits of his invention. Fifteen min
utes were exhausted, and he paused.
The merchant asked him to 90 on, and
after a couple of hours conversation
brought him a specimen of cotton. II
was baled and seemed satisfactory. The
interview terminated by the merchant
advancing him 500, and asking him to
call at the same hour the following
afternoon. The next afternoon Free
man was ON hand and found q dozen
cotton men awaiting him. All were
well pleased with the device, and nego-
tiations were opened which resulted
few days ago in Freeman selling his in
vention to the cotton men for So, 500,
who will manufacture it. Freeman was
possibly one of the happiest men on
earth. He looked about for an in
vestment, and wisely concluded to go
southwest and start him stock farm.
When he left yesterday his ticket read

Letter From its President. 7. J Hud-
son.



To the Farmers o. the United States;
Ii IS made my duty to make known 10
YOU the objects of the Farmers Congress
and 70 solicit the earnest cooperation Of
/ all who till the soil.
The first Session of the Congress was
held at II. Louis in oc.ober ISL, the
second Session in the same city in Octo-
Der 1882, and the third Session viii be
held az Louisville, XIV, on the first We'd
nesday in Dece mber next.
The association meets annually. and
is composed Of one delegate from each
Congressional district, one from each
Territory, and one from each State Ag-
ricultural College. Ii is intended 10 be
. representative body of the farmers Of
the United States.
Its object is to bring the farmers from
all sections Of the country into \ COM
mon council, that they may determine
as to the best policy 70 protect, and ad-
vance their interests The necessity for
a Union of american farmers has long
been felt. and the future of this organi-
zation is looked to with tha deepest in-
teres1 The questions for the eonsidera-
ton, and action of the Farmers Con
gress, oyershadow all others. whether We
regard them as 70 the number Of our
people employed, the amount, and value
of farm products, OF the capital engaged
in the culture of the soil. Agriculture
Is now. and must ever be the most i'm
poTtant interest of the American people.
That it furnishes seven-eights Of the ex-
ports OF the country IS conclusive proof
Of this. Il has patiently borne exae-
tons, and burdens to foster, and build
up all other industries without having
as all other pursuits, union, and concert
Of action for its own protection
The result of this policy on the part
of farmers has been 20 have orly min-
ority of farmers in most Of tke Legis-
latnres. but few repuesenfatlvss tas s.
lsTver House ot 1ongress. ana one - -
in the Senate of the United States. TIE
Banking, Railroad, Manufacturing, ana
Commercial interests have their paid
lobbyists in every State Legislature, and
at Washington, while the millions OF
farmers are toiling at home to meet the
taxes, and burdens unjustly levied upon
them. 1t is believed that the Farmers
Congress, in which the humblest farmer
en- be heard, will secure that kind of
union and active cooperation 50 much
needed and desired by American farm
ers. They do not ask, or desire class
legislation, but they demand that the
machinery of Government shall no
longer be used for their oppression.
Among other things they want the
Department of Agriculture represented
in the Presidents Cabinet, and so ex-
pressed themselves unanimously at the
last session of this body. They want
the Tariff modified and justice done the
great mass of consumers. They want
the Internal Revenue laws repealed as
inimical in their operation TO free ins5i-
tutions, and its thousands of officials.
and informers dismissed from the public
service. They want policy inaugura-
ted in which equal, and exact justice Is
done to every industry with no favorit-
ism in legislation or in the action of the
Government.
