DispOsing of the Surplus.

We have frequently suggested that in
the event of the Democracy coming into
control of the government the question
of the disposition of the surplus in the
treasury would cease to be an embar-
RAISING one, as that party has never been
at loss to get away with any amount
of government money. We had no the
ory as to the particular shape the thing
would assume, our faith being based on
the past history of the party which
shows that it never failed to destroy the
national credit whenever it had the op-
portunlty.
The first candidate for Immortality in
this line comes from the State of Geor-
gia, the empire state of the South, the
state of Joe Brown, convict labor con-
tracts and big Democratic majorities,
and he is endorsed as "a statesman" by
the leading papers of that state. This
Statesman's name is Carlton, and he up
sets one of the most beautiful of all the
Democratic theories at the very thresh-
hold of his statement. One would sup
pose, to read the current Democratic
literature, that the South was reconciled
to its defeat, that the bloody chasm was
not only bridged but filled up, and that
all was serene and lovely. But States
man Carlton upsets this theory, as we
have said. in very summary manner.
ITO bring about true reconciliation" he
AYERS, there must be just restitution.
Then if the North desire and would
have true reconciliation, let them con-
sent to a reasonable indemnity for our
slave property, unjustly taken ifrom US
by force, and the payment of the cotton
tax unlawfully levied upon our people"
And Mr.. Carleton sees in the plethoric
condition of the treasury "a most oppor-
tune time" for this true reconciliation"
to be brought about, ane thinks that the
restitution will soon be made.
Here is an interesting prospect for the
contemplation of the people of the
North. Here they are offered an oppor-
tunity to secure true reconciliation for
stipulated price, and the inference is
that it can be obtained in no other way
Truly is the election of Carlisle bearing
early and abundant fruit.-(Ohlo State

The Carp as a Food Fish.

There is much inquiry concerning the
German Carp introduced into this coun-
try by the United States Fish Commits
sion. People want to know where it
will live, how fast it will grow, and
generally what it is worth now that we
have it. Often as these questions are
answered they come up again, and in
truth, the different results reported are
confusing unless accompanied with an
explanation. Carp are not first class
table fish, but they are immensely supe-
rior to no fish at all, when fish dinner
is wanted. They are not as good to eat
as bull-head for instance, but then it
may be said that the bull-head is a very
excellent fish when well understood. So
the Carp can be made toothsOme fea
ture of the dinner table, if the mistress
of the kitchen cemprehends the mystic
ries of the sauceboat. Without that
skill, which by the way is universally
possessed by our adopted German fel-
low citizens, and can be earned from
almost any of them, the carp is rather
tasteless In very cold spring brooks
carp will not grow at all, they rather
seem to shrink, If we can imagine a
fish shrinking with the cold. But in
warm waters, especially in the Southern
States, where there is no trouble with
frost, they attain an enormous size
quickly. There have been instances of
their growing to seven pounds weight
in two years, which far surpasses any
thing known of any other species of fish.
In the North, if the ponds have hard
bottoms and freeze their entire depth,
the carp will be killed. But if the bot
tom is soft and muddy, they will bur-
row into it and protect themselves.
they are said to feed on vegetables,
either the natural growth in the Water,
or the refuse from the garden, but l
imagine they are greatly improved by an
occasional taste of the numberless in
sects that are found on all aquatic
plants. The same rul applies to them,
that is found to govern in all other de-
partmentS of nature; the best is always
the hardest to get. Not only will carp
never supply he place of trout, but
they will hardly live in the same water.
They need little care, and will exist on
poorer food, are content in less fine wa
ter, and theJ are in the end an inferior
fish. The common proverb says that
whetever is worth having, is worth
working for, and that, translated into
fish literature, means that an ordinary
variety is more easily maintained than
superior one. Still there is always
more need of the lower class. Few men
eat trout, more eat shad, and Infinitely
more use cod. while the ponds that are
adapted to trout, are not AS one in a
hundred to those fitted for carp. Any
old sluggish pond, avove mud-hole,
will answer for them. In conclusion. ii
is almost self lf-evident that carp are nc
more a game fish, than fattened hog Is
game animal. Carp can generally be
procured through the State Fish Com
missioner. and several breeders offei
them for sale.-[Robert Barnwell Roose
velt, in American Agriculturist fol- Jan

THERE is trouble again among the
Democrats in the House, and Perry
Belmont is at the bottom of it. General
Rosecrans. as chairman of the House
Democratic caucus, issued call recent
ly for caucus to be held Immediately.
Perry Belmont, the secretary, was direct
ed to execute the order of the chairman.
For reasons best known to himself he
pocketed the order. Rosecrans then is
sued another order, which Belmont
treated in like manner. The reason
given by him, it is said, was that he
thought 10 caucus necessary at this
time-an opinion which he asserted was
shared by large number of represent
atives with whom he consulted. 1t is
understood that the non-action of the
secretary has excited considerable unfa-
vorable comment among some of the
older Democratic representatives.

The English View Of 1t.

While the Democratic organs are now
seeking to lull the industrial interests
of this country into false security, by
asserting that the election of Speaker
Carlisle means onlyRevenue Reform,a m,and
that such Revenue Reform as is pro-
posed bears no relation whatever to
Free Trade, the situation is veIy clearly
understood in the Free Trade country
on the other side of the Atlantic. Not
having the same motive for conceal
ment over there as have their allies on
this side, or not pretending for the
moment why a policy of concealment
should be necessary. the English Free
Traders openly exult in the victory that
PROMISES so much for them.
The London Daily News of December
Sd, In giving an account of the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Carlisle for Speaker of the
House by the Dem ocratic caucus said:
This is distinct and surprising sue
cess for Free Trade" Not simply for
Revenue Reform, or Tariff for Revenue,
it will be noticed. but for Free Trade as
understood by the English Free Traders.
Mr.. Carlisle is deHribed as standing in
the contest "as an avowed Free Trader,
in favor of revision of the present
traffic. with view to the gradual ap-
preach of Free Trade" This is plain
enough for any ones comprehension.
and the London Daily News, which is
the foremost exponent ef Free Trade
views among the London daily press,
and is in close relations with the Free
Trade organization which is operating
on American politics from the basis of
England, unquestionably knows what it
is talking about.
After giving the figures of the ballot
i1,the caucus, the Daily News says:
"Axmost of the votes cast for Mr.. Cox
would have gone to Mr.. Carlisle on a
second ballot, the full strength of the
Democratic party in Congress is shown
to be fully three-fourths Of all its mem
bers. The result causes general sur
prise. not so much thet the party favors
Free Trade, as that so many members
have the courage to take that stand on
the eve of the Presidential election. 1t
is believed that this action will make
Free Trade direct issue iu the Presi-
Dental contest" OF course there is net
mr ch surprise, either here or in Eng
land, that the Democratic party at heart
favors Free Trade. for tn b traditions Of
the party have that leaning. The cour-
age shown in the face of Free Trader
for Speaker, however, Oozed out at the
fiDger-ends of the leaders as soon as that
fact was accomplished. The shadow of
the Presidential election suddenly fell
upon them, chilling their blood. The
effort is now strenuOusly made to keep
Free Trade in the background until
after the Presidential contest is over.
In the anxiety to do this the assertion is
made that not single Democratic Free
Trader exists in the country, and that
there is no such possible outcome as
Free Trade. But the indiscreet English
Free Trade allies of the Democracy
give the thing away."-(Cleveland

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The Committee on the Alcoholic Liq-
nor Traffic Retained After Con-
siderable Debate.

WASHINGTON, December 19.-To-day
when Blackburn, of Kentucky, present.
ed the report of the Committee on Rules
of the House, which stated what stand.
ing committees should be appointed for
the present Congress, the Committee on
the Alcoholic Liquor Traffic was left off
though it has been one of the regular
committees in past Congresses. Repre-
sentative Reed Immediately moved that
the list be amended by the insertion of
the Committee on the Alcoholic Liquor
Traffic.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, demanded the
yeas and nays, saying that he wanted to
see who was in favor of anything that
recognized "sunptuary legislation" OF
anything that proposed to regulate the
appetiteS of men.
Mr. Vance, of North Carolina, imme-
diately arose and denied that any
"sumptuary legislation or attempt to
regulate mems appetites was intended.
In speech full of fervur and eloquence,
he said the proposition was simply
whether or not the thousands of people
in this country who advocated temper
ance principles were to be recognized in
their rights of petition. Those people
had just as much right to be heard as
any other class of the community. Con-
gress had sent expeditions to the north
pole, be said, and investigated numerous
questions in which bat a comparatively
small number of people were interested,
but here was great question concern
ing the people of every part of the land.
They demanded that the wrecks in life's
pathway caused by that giant evil, in
They believed that the cost to the peo-
pie of maintaining the liquor traffic was
greater than that of all other taxes COM
bined, and they wanted to ascertain that
fact Mr.. Vances speech caused con-
siderable excitement, and for a time it
looked as though the House would seri-
ously consider the temperance question.
Mr.. Randall got the floor amidst the ex-
cItement, and it was expected that he
would reply to Vance, but he conteEted
himself by saying that he would not
vote for any bill tending to promote
prohibition, but he believed the temper
ance people of the land had a right to
have their petitions duly considered, and
for one he would vote to continue the
Committee on the Alcoholic Liquor
Traffic. The vote was then taken, and
resulted ayes 143, nays Sand the
committee was therefore retained as one
of the regular committees of the House
Thus ends the first skirmish of the
present Congress on the subject of tenn
perance. When the voting commenced
there was considerable stir on the part
of members who wanted to go to the
cloak rooms and dodge the vote or make
pairs with somebody, so as to save vot-
ing on the subject and placing them
selves on record. The following mem
bers of the Ohio delegation voted for the
amendment: Hart, McCormic, McKin-
ley. Morey, Robinson. Seney. F. B. Tay-
lOr, j. d. Taylor, Warner, Wilkins, and
Keifer, all Republicans but thee. The
following voted against the amendment:
Converse. Follett, Foran, Hill, Hurd,
Murray, and Geddes, all Democrats. LIE
Fevre, Jordan, and Paigne were absent,
and did not vote.
