THE man who is at sea going to Aus

speech that he esteemed conciliatOry

appointment to a foreign mission, spoke
of the Government of the United States
as 'a Government over my own State,
founded on what L consider gross and
bloody violation of public rights com.

The President, who sends this sort of

flinches from the appointment of Ken

THE Democratic prejudice to surplus
is unconquerable. Two years ago the
Republicans retired from the manage
ment of affairs in Ohio, leaving the COM
Portable sum of 100000 in the State
Treasury, and everything in such good
shape that it was possible to reduce
the levy the following year.
Nearly two years of Democratic ad
ministration have been sufficient to dis
sipate the money in the Treasury, leav+
ing it exhausted. State and municipal
Indebtedness has been increased by ten
millions of dollars, most of the county
treasures have been depleted, while the
State institutions are living from hand
to mouth, and in worse shape than ever
before.
The same sort of financial engineering
has practically bankrupted the Treasury
of Hamilton county. The levy for tax
es has been raised to nearly three per
cent. The Indebtedness of the city ill.,
creased by extraxagant legislation to
over $6,OO0,OO0, and yet there are claims
on all sides for more money, and com
plant of the insufliciency of appropriae
tions for the various departments of the
city Government.
This is the result of Democratic rule
1t seems to be its fatality to exhaust pub
lie funds and break down public credit
1t has done it for Kentucky.and steered
Virginia and Tennessee into repudiation
1t has rolled in the wealth of New York
City, and, Notwithstanding the enormous
resources of that city, has increased its
Indebtedness till the sum total is appall.
ing.
At the end of Cleveland's administra-
tion it is doubtful whether there will be
any surplus whatever in the U. S. Treas
ury. Possibly the public credit will not
be as low as at the close of Buchanan's
administration, but il will be seriously
impaired. Wherever Democratic man
agement prevails public credit is low,
taxes and Indebtedness are increased,
and folly, profiigacy and mismanagement
are apparent.-C Gin. Com. GaZ

The reporter of a St. Louis SEN
sation, where an angry wife ham
mered, before fashionable base
ball audience, blonde rival with a
soda bottle, has in his report one
sentence which might well be re-
ferred to the debating societies. In
recounting this chapter in St.
Louis social history the reporter
says of the husband: 1T appears
that besides his wife he loves an
other lady, Miss Kitty Dewey, a
handsome blonde girl" The ques-
ton is, can a man love two mem
beers Of the gentler sex at the same
timer Can he love his wife, and
at the same time love a lady who is
also handsome blonde girl? The
wife in this particular case ruled to
the contrary.
