Hills in order to relieve the merchants of
that country from the heavy bondage

perfected whereby the Northern Pacific
is enabled to announce through rate
from Chicago to either of the two points

negotiations were first made with the
Rock Island. but since their completion

During the eight years of Andrew
Jackson's administration the government
collected a revenue Of $3.50, 1s2, ,775 16, of
which 1885, out OF every $1,000, or total
Of 81, ,il2.3S7G2 was stolen by dishonest
officials. The sanc administration dis
hursed 1928, iG,OI0.I1, OF which s1O.31 out
of every $1,000, or total of s., 306, 236.71
was stolen. In Martin Van Bureus ad-
ministration Of four wears, S137, 1884, 436 "a
were dsbursad AZ an average cost in
stealings of S2l.l5 in every $1,000, or n
total of S2,s9g,G53.5i. Under Franklin
Pierce, who seems to have had the hon
c test set of democratic o..ice-holders that
could bo procured, as the rate of robbery
in his time was lower than under any
other democratic president, $2s5, ,G35, ,s75.65
were disbursed, at loss of $3.50 per
$1,000, or total of $l,674, ,s52.Gi. Under
tic seven democratic presidents from
Jackson to Buchanan, inclusive, the aver
age rate of robbery in making disburse-
mcnts was q fraction more than $l0.22 per
$1,000. The average rate in making col
lections was something less, being about
$2.ll in every $1,000.
If the democrats succeed in the present
canvass and carry Oh their steal!ngs at
the same average rate--which they can
safe y be relied on to do-the governs
ment will be robbed of S3,lGi, ,42O.3O
every four years in collecting its
revenues, and $14,155, O2335 in dis
bursting them. Under President Arthur
the total loss from this cause has been in
collecting, s2,961.62, and in disbursing
| $l,920.75. These figures are reliable, and
can be verified by the ledgers of tho treas
ury. In themselves they must appeal very
strongly to the good sense of every voter.
Taken in connection with the fact that
thetreasury was always, or nearly always,
in distress during democratic times, and
that the opportunities for stealing were
not then nearly SO ample as they are now,
and they are vastly moro suggestive.
Then it is to be remembered that the
democratic party has been out of power
for twenty-four years and is very
hungry. If it gets the chance, IL is fair
to expect it will greatly increase its

Independent Candidates In south
Carolina.


Advices from South Carolina indicate
that the federal office holders there, act
ing ON tho advice of the editor of tho
NoirS aHd Courier, are not only rendering
no support to tho various independent
candidates for congress, but are actually
throwing every conceivable obstacle in
the way of Independent success. This Is
most unfortunate state of affairs, and
is greatly to be regretted. There is un-
doubtedly great disailection among South
Carolina democrats, and now that a large
number of them come out in opposition
to the bourbons, prohering their support
to Blaine and Logan, they should receive
the earnest support of all loyal repub
Leans.
A solid south arrayed against solid
north has too long been an unpleasant
spectacle in the eyes OF patriotic people
iu all sections, and now that movement
has been inaugurated which promises to
change this IL comes with i'll grace for
republican officials to deny it an earnest
support. In the first South Carolina dis
lllGl lluls u. lltuuIlA GhCLduO was uutu-
imously nominated for congress by the
independents, but the federal office
holders at Charleston are planning to
nominate a colored postoflice employe of
the name of Freeman, thus insuring tho
election Of Dibble, the democrat.
An effort is now being made to secure
a republican majority in the next house
of representatives and petty oflice.holders
owing allegiance TO the party in power
might engage in better business than
ieopardizing republican success. 1t has
been often charged that federal office
holders in the south are moro interested
in keeping the republican minority in the
old slave states as small rs possible than
they are in the defeat of tho democratic
party, thereby keeping local patronage in
their own hands. The conduct of many
of the otlice-holders in the south this year
is in direct support of this allegation
This is a free country and every man ha.
o perfect right to vote as he pleases, but
party, like household, should be SAT,
from the attacks of its own members.

dollars among hungry legislators and
