Too Late 20 Bring Them Back.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 20.-A dis
patch from Jackson MISS, says Add
tional news received here yester'
day from a reliable source strengthens
the belhf that the terrible AFFAIR
of the 18th at Carrollton cannot
be attributed to the citizens
izens of that town. The Information re-
ceiyed indicates that it was not the in
tention Of the armed force TO execute
their work ia the manner Ia which IL was
done. 1t is evident that they were IN
search only OF Brown and the ringleaders
I'm what was regarded aud known to be a
conspiracy, and their intention was 70
punish them alone.

Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1886-08-12

sB- Under the administration of Presi-
dent Arthur, during the sixteen months pre-
ceding March 4, 1886, the Republican party
paid of $116,29 900 Of the public debt.
The present Democratic administration has
been in power just sixteen months, and it
has barely succeeded in paying of $5O,14S,-
800 Of the debt or less than one-half as much
as the Republican party paid of in an equal
time. Defiance E9press.
For willful lying the above takes the cake.
The truth is that during the sixteen months
of Democratic rule the national debt has
been decreased in the neighborhood OF
$500, O,0OO, 900, and the decrease for the fiscal
year ending June SOth, 1885, was over $685.
0OO,OOOl Also, the expenditures have been
decreased over $l8,0OO,OOO, and this too in
the face Of an unusually large payment for
pensions made during the yesr, aggregating
nearly SCI, ,OOO, ,0OOl The readers Of the EG-
press are intelligent and its editor will gain

tB Shooting out of season-often when
birds are breeding -raking them on the
ground, and using gill nets, seins or dyna-
mite for the capture of fish, makes our
once plentiful game scarce. 1t is not the
true sportsman who creates the havoc, but
illegal practices. The true sportsman takes
his rod or gun, goes in season, when breed
ing or spawning is over, shoots his birds on
the wing, and by so doing always leaves
enough birds to duplicate the brood next
season; or with light, supple rod kills the
grown fish, and even those have a good
chance for liberty, as the tackle is slch that
skill is required to capture the fish. He
makes respectable bag and goes home
satisfied. The law breaker, pot hunter and
market hunter goes out with his nets, dyna-
mite or gun, shoots birds on the ground,
killing, very often the entire brood; or, with
murderous dynamite and nets captures and
kills large and small fish, picking out such
as are wanted and leaving the thousands Of
small fry, that would develop into fine fish,
to decay on the banks of the streams. The
enforcement Of the game laws should have
the hearty support Of every person who de-
sires to see the beautiful game and fish Of
this country preserved.

Our Bill for Luxuries.

! Spirits, wine and beer certainly come un-
habit has become so ingrined in the Ameri-
can sovereign, his use of the weed may be
accepted almost as much necessity as his
use of sugar, tea or coffee.
The dry figures of the Internal Revenue
report, just one of the year ending June 30,
yield much curious information of the extent
of the drinking and tobacco habits of the
American people. The consumption of beer
is increasing, and for the past year amounted
to 642,OO0,0OO gallons, or nearly eleven gal
Ions for every inhabitant, babies included.
The consumption of whisky was over TO-
100000 gallons, or about FIVE quarts per
capita. There is falling of here, as fifteen
years ago the consumption was nearly two
gallons per head. This is attributed to the
increase consumption of beer and the spread
of prohibition at the South.
The increase in the consumption of tobacco
is remarkable. 1t amounted during the year
to 1922 pounds per capita, in smoking and
chewing tobacco. Snuff using is ON the de-
cline. Prior to 1870 the quantity of tobacco
consumed was from one to two pounds per
head. In 1882 it passed three pounds and
has been above that figure ever since. There
were about sixty cigars per head used during
the year; but this is included in the pound
estimate.
SIT remains to add, says the statistician
who has gone into this subject at length,
"that supposing cigarettes 20 cents pack
age, tobacco 81 per pound in retail forms,
beer cents glass, and spirits 5 cents for
half a gill, prices which are certainly not as
high as those paid by most consumers, the
cost of these articles to the people of this
country is over $1,1S9, ,0OO, 900, or $19.s2 for
every inhabitant. This burden is borne by
about 100000 wage-earners, however, and
for them it averages $50 yearly. ALI the
money that trades unions have added or ever
will add to the wages of labor will not equal
half the sum spent last year, mainly by work
ing people, in the consumption of liquor
alone, which cost them much over $8OO,OOO,-
