1t is evident that the democracy never
change. The republicans held control of
this government for "a consecutive years,
handled thousands of millions of dollars of
the public money, and on turning over the
government to the democrats in 1885. de-
fcit of TWO CENTS was found. Now the
republicans have secured popular majority
i'm the House of Representatives, and the
democratic officers are called upon to ac-
count for the comparative insignificant sums
of money that have passed through the
hands of the democratic Seargent-at-Arms
and 10. deficit of $72, 900 is found. To
the democracy it is indeed bitter disclosure
and we do not wonder at the exclamation
of one of the democratic members, who by
republican division in 1888, was elected
in strong republican district, who is quoted
as saying that "This SilcOtt matter has hurt
the democratic party more than anything
that has happened for years. We turned
ever the house to the republicans with a
shortage of $4,000. 1t is awful, and the
party will feel the effects for years to come.
We were so anxious to get at the books of
the government before Cleveland came in

we did and are called to turn them over.

Prof. Richard T. Ely of the John Hop
kins University, at Baltimore, says in his
opinion the railroads on the continent OF
Europe and their management ale vastly
superior to those of the United States, and
that the travelling public would be better
served by having the government manage
our railroads. We know little of the
European system of railroads, but we dc
believe that the people of the United States
of all classes, and especially the producing
classes, would be vastly benefited if the gov

The growth in popular favor Of the magazine
As literary vehicle has been more surprising in
America than in any other part of the English
speaking world. Our people do not buy great
many American books, strictly so called, and, as
,rule, the most profitable of those which are
made here from pen to bindery are issued first
in periodical form, either entire or by install
ments. 1t will be noted that, as a sequel to the
failure of Belford, Clarke & Company, the re-
ceiver will wind up the general business of the
concern, but BeLford's Magazine will be contin-
ued by the will Of the creditors, as it has SUBJ
'cription list Of more than twenty-five thou
sand, which is, or ought to be, money making
basis. This is significant case and goes to
show that the light attractive literary visitor,
which comes to the freside from day to day,
from week to week or from month to month, is
a wider favorite than the bulky volume which
drops in once in a while, costing more money
in lump and weighing more in the hand Of
the leisure.taker who reads it.

Is not the charge made in Richmond, that

condition Of the electric railway business in

one fully equipped electric street railways in
various parts of the country, and more than
sixty new roads are in process of construction.
The failure in Richmond is attributed by the
