The January issue Of the Eclectic Mdga-
zine opens q new volume, and If the fu-
ture is to be measured by the initial num-
Der, the promise Of a feast Of good things
is well justified. The first paper by
Hon. W. E. Gladstone, is Of the highest
order. "The Dawn of Creation and
Worship is a highly interesting contri-
button to the natural history of religion.
II. r. Fox-Bourne gives a paper on $50
cialism and its Diversions, and Sir John
Lubbock, a study entitled, Recent OBJ
servations on the Habits of Ants, Wasps
and Bees" There is a symposium on
"The Theatre" discussing the condition
of the stage in England and America and
the practicability Of following Shake
speare as a literary model. Prof. Son
nenschein gives us q capital paper on
Culture and Science" which touches
on a vexed question in education with a
full knowledge Of all the conditions.
Among other articles are Miss Gordon
Cummings "Rambles in Canton" q
highly interesting description of the once
famous Nine. Emile de Girardin ("Del.
phine Gay"), a study in practical philan-
thropy, by Hon. Mrs. +. Jeune, called
"Helping the Fallen" and q brief but
strong sketch of the celebrated English
political satirist and poet, William
Churchill. Attention may be called tc
several of the minor articles, such a.

The Debt statement.

Mr.. Manning's monkeying with the
form of the debt statement can not pre-
vent the people of the United States from
understanding that Democratic control of
the national finances has not been n sue
cess. The present administration has
been in power since March A ~last-nine
months. During these nine months,
Not a dollar has been paid on the debt
Of the United States;
Not a single bond has been called in
and paid;
Not a cent of the burden Of INTEREST," has
been stopped;
Not a cent Of the money which the Re-
publicans were so glibly accused of
boarding in the treasury. vaults has been
emptied into the channels Of trade and
commerce, as was promised during the
campaign by the Democrats. .
On the contrary, the debt statement is
sued on December 1 shows an increase in
the debt of nearly 5000, 900 for the pre-
vious month;
The surplus in the treasury is larger
than it ever was under Republican adj
ministration;
And it is well for the people to remem-
Der that during Republican control the
national debt was steadily lowered month
by month. In tive nty years nearly half
the interest-bearing debt was paid and
the annual payment of interest was re-
duced more than half.
SO undoubted Democratic auth GRITTY as
the Louisville Courier-JoWnal urges, in
effect, that the national debt should be
made perpetual. 1t declares that it is not
good policy to raise money by taxation,
which people could lend at 5 or @ per
cent. interest, and pay a debt Herewith
which only bears 3 to 81 per cent. This
is rubbish. The burden of interest is the
thing TO be stopped, and that can only be
done by paying the debt. The following
extract is pertinent to the fallacious
Democratic argument:
The theory of a perpetual debt is false
and pernicious. England suffers from its
baneful effects, because the good of her
people is considered as Of lesser impor-
lance than the good of her rulers. The
theory is fraudulent for the following
reason in justice: In 1868 John Smith,
poor man, went to wal and was killed to
save his country; John Williams was rich
and lent the government 10000 with
which to clothe and pay John Smith
Then Smiths widow draws $500 a ycal
as q pension for % years, and dies. This
ends the account. John Williams dies
after drawing $500 a year for 90 years,
and sees his bond turned into a c%onsol, OF
perpetual bond, ergo, a hereditary pension
an heir getting the pension, the account
closing only with revolution, and the
foundation Of a class privilege being care
fully laid.

Just like nothing that ever appeared be.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
1t Does Not Work We'll.

1t sounded very pretty in President
Cleveland to invite the Republican :ena.
tors to call On him and point out to him
his mistakes in. appointments. But like
many things that have crept into print
regarding this administration, when put
in practice il does not work so well. One
or two senators have called and laid their
complaints before the President, but they
have only received the assurance that
the case will be investigated, and to their
amazement they find the names they op-
posed on the list sent to the Senate. Sena.
tor Frye, of Maine, recently called on
Mr.. Cleveland, and mentioned to him
that every man who was prominently
connected with the conspiracy to over
throw the State Government Of Maine a
few years ago had been given cpnspicu-
Gus places over responsible Democrats,
and that it was understood in Maine that
these men were thus rewarded for their
rascality at that time. The President
listened to Senator Frye, and promised
that he would investigate the matter.
This ended the affair. Now both sena.
tors from Maine declare that, having
carried the case to the Executive, they
will fight it in the Senate.
Senator Logan is preparing a speech
arraigning the President for disregarding
his policy of civil service reform, as out.
lined in his message. Senator Logan will
show where Cleveland has appointed
men to office and turnd out capable ones
for no reason whatever except that the
new men were Democrats and the OLD
Republicans. The great point of his
speech, however, will DO in regard to the
tendency of the President to dismiss
Union soldiers, and instead of appointing
this class Of men, when possible, giving
his preference to ex-C onfcderates.
Western Senators arc receiving letters
in great number urging them to oppose
the confirmation Of Land Commissioner
Sparks, because of his recent rulings.

One of the chief uses to which castor
oil Is now put is that of dressing and
soflening leather for boots. 1t was form
erly used for dosing children whose
stomaches were disordered. And an aw-
full dose 1t was. Now we give suffering
children Browns Iron Bitters, which
tones the stomach, regulates digestion,

Browns Iron Bitters is incomparably
better than castor oil, and more pleasant

ing the Ordinary from announcing the
result of the local option election held in

task to accomplish this in a busy city

fair trial, in order that It's efficacy OF
worthlessness may be made evident.
