Earl Wheeler's Good Luck.

Ticket No. qS. .455 drew the capital prize of $500 900 in the December drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery. One-fortieth of this ticket was held by Earl Wheeler, liv- ing at No 69 Grove street in this city. \ Democrat reporter today called upon Mir. Wheeler and learned that the ticket had been placed in the hands of Banker !. Nedder Norris for collection, and Agent B. r. Oliver of the American Express com pany paid Mir Morris the amount~sls.- 000-less Sloi.55 express charges on the 10th inst. MT Morris deposited the amount in the Farmers National Bank in his own name al the request of MT. Wheel CT. The latter dislikes notoriety, hence this roundabout proceeding. That the amount has been received and that the Louisiana State Lottery company fulfilled It's obligations Mir Morris verhcs. and hts word cannot be questioned. Amsterdam tN. l.l Democrat, January IT.

The Democratic party proposed in its platform and legislation to stop the surplus by red ucing taxation.
 The Republican party purposes to rid Of the surplus by the simple method ot spending il
 The Democratic party declared th,t tho best place consistent with justice, tot every dollar att required by the necessary and legitimate expenses ot the government, is in the pocket of the man who earned lt.
 The Republican party proceeds upon the theory that any excess If revenue should be distributed among the peo- pie" by triekling 1t through the sticky fingers ot pension agents, subsidy seekers and favored contractors.
 A democratic senator favored tho suspension of needless and forced pay ments to the sinking fund In order that taxation might be reduced to the extent of $50 o00. 600 year. The republican Ways and Means committee contemplates suspendipg these payments in order that it's party may squander the money in reckless appropriations.

Not long since the owners of these plate glass estab- lishments testified before the Ways and Means committee that if the tarn was taken off of plate glass. they would be compelled to close up business.

EVERY medical examiner of .he pen sion office appointed by Cleveland might have been democrat, If the great president had chosen to have made them thus. But, being honest and minded, he chose to have the applicants examined under the civil service rules, and the appointments made in accordance with it's showings as to qualifications and general fitness. But what do we find Harrison and his motley gang doing2 They have a bill introduced to increase the number of medical examiners thirty more than the country has been making out on heretofore, and the appointments are not to be governed by the civil service rules, at all. That means thirty re- publican doctors added to the cabal of robbers to plan, and scheme, and lie and illuminate pillaging raids on the United States treasury.

It will be shown in Mir. Outhwaite's minority report in the Featherston- Cate contested election case, which may be called up today, that. in round numbers, the total vote of the first Arkansas district is 10000, of which p 900 are whites and l5,0o0 negroes- 23.OO0 democrats and lS,OO0 republ- cans. The district has been represented in congress for the last ten years by democrat. The republicans during that time virtually conceded 1t to the other party bym akiug nominations for representative in congress upon only two occasions. At a more recent state election for three judges of he supreme court, held on April ,. 1889, the vote in the congressional district WAS for the leading democratic candidate aS0l, and for the leading republican candidate So2l, majority for the democratic candidate of about l1s0. No one has questioned ,he legality or tairuess If this election. nor has any one claimci that there was any fraud or intimidation anywhere through bout this congress siunal district. though the total vote cast was not quite ls.ool. At the No veDhr election in isSs. Cate received l6, 5I6 votes, against i22s, votes cast tni Featherstou-a clear majority of l345 votes. These facts were tele- graphrd to the Memphis Commercial whnse Washington correspond dent dispatch closed with the following:
