TALK will not give Bob Taylor 10000
majority. Democrats must work and
vote. The Republicans are organized
and working in their most subtle and
dangerous way. They will vote. They
are playing "possum. They would
have Democrats brag and buster and
Hatter themselves with hopes of a SWEEP
ing victory, and in the mean time they
are sleeping with both eyes open, ready
to rally on election day as one man. If
Democrats don't wake up to the neces-
sity of working and voting there is
danger ali along the line. A warning
given and acted on in time is worth a
pyramid of hind sight smartness or

Democratic Exhibit.
To be Continued.

Speaker Carlisle has just given us
another OF those pithy reviews OF the
relation OF parties, which are both edi-
Tying and convincing, especially con-
corning the first year OF Democratic
economy. Il is a remarkable showing
OF what has heen done. Let us give a
synopsis OF IL.
/. During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1886, the total expenditures Of the
Government were $l7 ,743, 796 less than
those OF the previous year ander Re-
publcanism.
2. Yet there were paid out for pen
sions 1902 ,595 more than during the
previous year; and the larger number
Of claims were adjusted by 100 less
clerks.
8. Appropriations for the support
OF the Government for the current year
are even smaller than those for last
year by sc, 486, l95.
4. The increase in the expenditures
on account OF the postal service from
the year 1884 to 1885 was ~, SIC. $3.50
and from 1885 to 1886 $4,660,590, while
from 1886 to 1887 which is the current
year, the increase is only s663, S73.
The difference is 81, 900, 600, less than
the increase before under Republican
administration.
5. The Republican Senate added
81 100000 to the appropriation bills
this year, and the Democratic House
combatted this extravagance and de-
| feated it. s
6. The Democratic Congress has for
feited and restored to the public do
main sc, 482, 240 acres Of land previous
ly granted to railroad companies under
conditions which have not been COM
piled with. The territory thus return.
ed to actual settlers is more than twice
MS large as the State of Kentucky The
Democratic House at the last session
passed other bills FORGETTING and re,
retaining 3,S43,094 acres more, but
the Senate did not concur. The House
has favorably reported bills FORGETTING
13, 067 ,2l4 acres MORGAN area tWi Q al

and will pass them at the next session.

pay, and this will be paid within two
years. No more bonds will be payable
till 1891. During the interval an enor
nous surplus will accumulate in the
treasury 10 the greatdetriment of bus
Mesa thousand million dollars OF
more. So the taxes will have to be re-
duced and the reduction will inevitably

RUssInS WAR HORSES
Play an Important Part In the
Army OF she Gear.

The expansion OF the Russian mill
tary organization so as to provide for
a possible disciplined force OF 6,0O0, 900
soldiers was noticed some tine ago in
these columns in come ction with
Oommandant Rau's estimate for 1886,
and what impressed us especially at
that time was the enormous prepon-
dernnce of cavalry in the Russian
armies, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat. A recent Tor
eign review shows that Che
greatest OF modern Empires is devel-
oping her amy system with estonish-
ing rapidity, even while totally de-
pairing from those German methods
which the rest Of Europe initiates.
Russia, always rather AsiaiC than Eu-
ropean, rather nomad than industrial,
attaches secondary Importance to in.
fanlry in the mechanism OF warfare,
She proposes to make cavalry oil that
other powers would with to
make infantry, but much more
formidable also, seeing that
trained cavalry can move with a
rapidity impossible to infantry. Grad
ually she Is converting her whole
military power into mounted forces;
and she has been so earnest in per
iecting her army that, without count
ing her territorial reserves, she can
already mobilize 2, Ass, 900 men. This
force, clas,ed into two vast divisions,
includes no lees that 1850 squadrons
Of cavalry COS fquadrons for the fret
and 522 for the second. Prussia, at
her greatest extremity, could only OPP
pose these 1880 tquadrons with $40
squadrons OF German horse. Bot
Russia could still call out cavalry, and
admirable cavalry, by the 100000,
from her steppes and her Asiatic
provinces; all the hordeB are ready to
obey q signal and are being trained to
use repeating riffs. 1t is believed by
the writer referred TO that, however
large their military figures appear on
paper, 1t would be all that Austria and
Germany together could now do TO
oppose Russian infantry with an equal
mass OF infantry, while they could
not oppose the verv fret wave
Of Russian cavalry with more than
half the numoer OF western
horsemen. If this view Of the situa-
ton be Trustworthy, the moment of a
terrific struggle, upon which the very
existence OF Western nationalities de-
pende, may not be very far of. Bot
II is not improbable that the foreign
reviewer has under estimated German
resources aud gived insufficient atten-
ton to the comparative liRhtness
OF the Russian armament in
point of ordnance and other weap-
ons. At all events, the twin Ger
man powers appear strong enough to
hold their own unless some alliance
should be made against them of a
really extraordinary character. The
result OF crushing German power by
combination, however, would as
suredly result in bringing all Western
Euruue under the feet Of the Gar
and Ru sis's strongest ally might be
fret TO know cause for repentance.

The Points Made I'm the Brief.

OHIoAeo. ILL. November 25.-The
points made in the brief in behalf OF
the anarchists, which the attorneys
desire to argue before the Supreme
Court. are the ones raised during the
trial and argued before Judge Gary on
the motion for new trial, that the
Judge allow Jurors TO try the case
who had admitted, on examination,
that they had formed opinions; that
he ruled that the Juror under exami-
nation was net disqualified even
though be had 0 fixed opinion at the
time of the examination that would
require evidence TO overcome, pro-
yided he wou swear he could render
fair andimpsrtial verdict; that where
the proposed jurors admitted a prelu-
dice or bliss against socialists, anar-
chists or communists, the Judge re-
fused to allow counsel for the defend
ants to ask whether the prt iudice was
such as to materially effect the weight
they would accord to the evidence o.
the defendant II II should appear that
thew or some OF them were socialists
anarchists or communists; ina
thew refused to allow challenges
for cause on account OF such
preiudice; that the bailiffs select
ed men unfavorable to defendants
so that their peremptory challenges
might be sooner exhausted; that ID
giving instructions the court pro
ceeded pom the erroneous theory iha
the defendants might be convict q
without the State being obliged bJ
legal evidence to identify the princi
pal, or to show that the d. Pendants
advised, or even had knowledge OF tht
commission OF the particular act by
the principal; that the court refused
to give any instruction allowing the
iury to consider whether the unknown
bomb thrower might not have thrown
the bomb under some sudden provo
cation by reason OF supposed un
lawful attack of the police upon
peaceabls and Law ul assembage; thai
there can be no conviction Of al &C
cessory without the identi fic alton o.
the principal, and that the instruc
ton given by judge Gary Of bis OWE
motion, in which he undertook tc
summarize and condense all the in
structioDs in the case, was improper
and fatally defective.
