Empty the Treasury.

Eastern Republicans do not attempt
to conceal their dislike of the Morrison
proposition for paying out the unneeded
surplus in the treasury for interest
bearing bonds, and thus reduce the
public debt. The bare suggestion OF
an empty or nearly empty treasury,
fills them with horror. The Republi-
cans, during their reign, cultivated an
enormous surplus of idle money for
contingencies, and they now have a
dislike of Morrison's Democratic ideas.
But a flowing treasury is an injustice
to the people and temptation to cor
ruption at the same time. 1t means the
taking from the people of money the
government does not need, and it breeds
endless schemes for dissipating the
revenues in Improbable measures.
The S600,000,00 paid out in pensions
is not enough; there is new scheme
to add 1852, 100000 to the pension
budget. Then there are SIC, 100000
proposed in the Blair educational bill;
$14, 100000 for the Hennepin canal;
$40, 200, 900 for coast Notifications,
and no one knows how much more for
other wild projects.
The only way to arrest this greedy
scramble for the peoples money is to
use the surplus in paying the public
debt, and then cut down the revenues
to the actual needs of the government.
Keep the money out Of the treasury.
Let it remain in the pockets OF the
people. The old Democratic practice
was, whenever money began to accum-
ulate in the treasury beyond the needs
of economical administration, to reduce
the taxes, and the restoration OF the
Democratic party to power affords a
favorable opportunity for revivlng this
wholesome rule.

Prospective Iron Kings.

S. S. Spaulding, the gentleman who
came here last fall, from Norwood,
Mich, and opened up the "Spaulding
Restaurant" left rather suddenly about
two months ago, and it was rumored at
the time that valuable iron ore had
been discovered on a farm owned by
him near Norwood. The report was
supposed to be a myth at the time, but it
was genuine fact; and two Abilene
gentlemen are now half owners in,what
promises to be perfect bonanza. Sew
eral samples were sent to Chicago, Den
yer and Leadville, and the assays ran
high enough to turn the brains of the
lucky owners, and the two Abilene men
spoken of will leave for that point in a
few days. One of our lucky friends is
prominent money lender, and has
plenty capital to put up the necessary
machinery.

The ChapmaniteS are not jealous OF
the rapid growth and prosperity of the
neighbOring cities, and especially that
of Abilene. We look on with wonder
at the rapid progress and building up
of the last named place, our county
seat, and with a just degree of pride in
| its success, our citizens can wish the
best of luck to all the enterprises OF its
energetic business men there. even if
they, the Chapman property owners, do
have to help build new North and
South railway from Omaha, Neb., to
Wichita. KaS. This road would do the
people living here but little good, only
in general way. If made, however,
such road would make Abilene a city
of eight to ten thousand people in a
short time. When is the work on this
railway to go forward? Many citizens
here would like to know.
The dude business will not pan out
worth cent in this place, especially
among the solid farmers and a regi-
ment of us ragged ones, who have just
worried through the winter in last
years suits of second rate shoddy.

The Knights of Labor.

The victories won by the Knights Of
Labor, and the new contests in which
that powerful organization is engaging,
makes its future course a matter for
much interesting speculation. VIII it
escape or conquer the dissensions to
which many previous less influential
combinations of workingmen have fall
len victim? VIII its leaders go for
ward with increasing caution and mod
Grafton as the growing strength of the
order makes its action more momen-
tous2 Hitherto they have borne them
wellin their important functions. Every
new strike under their direction is a
new and often severe test. 1t is not
to be expected that they shall not some
times be hasty, or that their efforts will
not in some cases be, and deserve to be,
failures.
The great thing, after all, is to be
careful not to go too fast for public opin-
ion, and to try and found themselves in
every case upon the common sense
and the sense of justice of the commu-
nifty. They ask for justice and must
render justice, and in the heat of con-
troversy this will often be difficult, and
may sometimes seem impossible. As
long as the Knights of Labor attend in
business like spirit to their proper
business of bettering the conditions of
labor, as long as in their efforts toward
that end the balance of wisdom and of
justice inclines to their side, so long will
they deserve to be prosperous and
strong. They must not expect to &C
complish too much or to accomplish it
too soon. They must keep the public
on their side.
After all, their strength, great and
growing as it is, is still only small part
Of the vast strength Of labor. The
power they are welding. however, is of
extraordinary significance. because it
is teaching the solidarity of labor.

huge scandal" The New York Sun"
in double-leaded leader, says:
1t is difficult for any careful thinker to
understand how the present great tele-
phone scandal can pass away without COM
pelling the reconstruction of the Cabinet.
Garland, the Attorney-General, and La
mar, the Secretory of the Interior, are
very deeply implicated in this scandal. 1t
it incomparably the greatest scandal by
which any members of any Presidents
Cabinet have ever been affected. Presi-
dent Cleveland is a deliberate man, and in
such a matter as this especially, it is not TO
be expected that he will act from any
hasty impulse, but in the end he will act.
Then we suppose some other man than
Garland will be Acknowledgement, and
some other man than Lamar will be Secre-
tary Of the Interior.
The Tribune" says editorially: The
President in keeping Garland III the Cabi-
net and-in allowing Secretary Lamar to
aid him in earning gift telephone stock,
has condoned a scandalous betrayal OF the
public trust. Apparently no help Is to be
expected from the Executive in indicating
the reputation OF the country, but is it not
the plain duty of both Houses OF Congress
to intervene i'll this matterP There are
strong grounds for believing this ring of

that the department OF justice has been

has come when Congress should investi-

viii be lacking in self-respect and Will for

FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR.

A Paris telegram announces the terms
of peace between France and Madagas-
car 1t is stated that France acquires a
protectorate over Madagascar, and OBJ
tains complete control over the foreign
affairs of that country. The Malagasies
also pay war indemnity of 100000
Co.," The money indemnity stated APP
pears to be excessive, and instead of
pounds sterling it is probable that francs
are intended. The Malagasy Govern
ment could not possibly pay the first
named amount. 1t is remarkable, how
ever, that neither England nor the
United States interfered in this business,
inasmuch as the trade of Madagascar be-
longs almost wholly to them, French
commercial intoroete being mere baga-
telle. Moreover, it was from the Eng
lish and Protestant missionaries that the
Royal household of Madagascar and the
Hovas received Christianity. A French
protectorate in Madagascar simply means
stagnation of every kind, as has been
shown by their administration in the
Society Islands and other points OF
French colonization.
