HARTFORD, Jan. 2S.-No news from Gene

at the adjutant generals Office to day. Adju-

The question of dishonorable discharges h

As to the matter Of discharge without

As to the alleged inability of the officers te
re-enter the service when diahonorably dis

are not disqualified. This disqualification oc

Col W. J. Lsavenworth of the Second reg
iment, who has been in the National guard
service nearly twenty years, says:
81 am opposed to the renting of State armories
for any purpose whatever other than military.
possibly it cannot be shown that the renting of
them has been greatly detrimental to discipline SO
far. but any officer Of experience knows that such
renting is to certain extent demoralizing, and in
creases the difficulty Of securing complete and
thusiastic service from the men.
"As the matter now stands, any person by the
the arms and munitions therein and can then place
it in possession of any organization, no matter how
sociaistic hostile to the peace and good order OF
the State it may be.
"why not run the same risk of placing your fire
and police department in the power Of an organ
lied band of incendiaries? do not hesitate to say
that State armories ought not to be out of control
Of the military for moment.

Exploding RYan's Figgers.

Representative Gaumer, of Richland,
who was member of the House Of Rep
resentatives Of the Ohio Legislature,
tears Dan Ryan's speech up the back,
down the front, and ends by pulling it's
&ns.des out He says:
But since the authors of these mis-
representations pretend to know so much
about this years appropriations, why
don't they explain the increase of more
than S26, 900 in the appropriation for the
Secretary of States Office over last
years; this is an increase of over so per
cent. And while Mr.. Ryan is explain
ing this let him look on page 40 of the
Auditor of States report for 1889 and
figure up the appropriations and the dis
bursements made from 1885 to 1889 in
elusive. The appropriations are stated
at $12, GIG, ,035. 76 and thedisbursementsa at
$12, ,s44. 519.17, or Ss2s, 4s3 Al in excess Of
appropriations. Now it is well-known
fact that if the Foraker gang claimed
any thing they claimed that during the
Hoadly administration the appropria-
tions were exhausted and the treasury
bankrupt. The query is where did that
s22s, 4s3 Al come from; did the high Re-
publican officials lie about the appro-
priation being exhausted or did they
switch some of the sinking fund into the
general revenue fund?

Taxes Coming Home.

Prices of all the necessaries and COM
forts of life on which the customs taxes
were advanced by the Mckinley bill are
booming upward. Tinware is one of the
essentials of housekeeping, roofing and
the preparation and preservation of
canned provisions. It is going up un-
der the pressure of a tax increased 100
per cent. This extract is from Mr..
Wanamakers advertisement in the
Philadelphia papers, setting forth the
attractions of the bargain counters this
week:
Tinware is advancing in cost, and
very soon the manufacturers will have
their way and you and we will have to
pay very much more.
In view of this state of things, we
made some time since large purchase
of kitchen tinware at what was low
price then, and would be far lower now
in the face of two advances in makers
price lists.
This lot goes on sale to-day at prices
that will not he seen again for long
time to come.

Wanamaker says the prices are sure to
go up. 1t includes every tin utensil

A Day of Settlement Coming.

The Mckinley high tariff bill advances
the duty on all the cheaper grades Of
clothing that must of necessity be pur-
chased and worn by the poorer classes.
In the fine grades of clothing worn by
the rich, the duty is decreased. For in
stance, woolens used by the working
classes have been increased from so per
cent. to 110, while broad-cloth was in
creased from so to so only. Sealskin
sacques are reduced from 80 to 90. Cheap
black alpaca has been increased from so
to 100. This is worn by people in ordi-
nary circumstances. but such articles as
black silk, and rich velvet are net chang
ed. The test could be continued to hard
ware, chemicals, sugar, articles that are
of daily necessity. The prices of all
will be increased. It only tends to con-
firm what the Democratic party has al
ways charged that Republican legisla-
tion was and always will be in the interest
of the rich as against the poor. Times
will grow harder, prices higher, money
scarcer and products lower as the oper.
ations of this new law become extended.
Some day, and that soon, we will have
sad awak ening in this country.

The Difference.

In 1888 the Democratic party main
tanned that the tariff was too high. No
Republican disputed that proposition,
but the claim was made that the tariff
should be revised by the friends of the
protection system. Two years later the
friends of that system did revise it, but
instead of reducing it they increased it
from an average of 40 per cent. to an
average of go per cent. This increase,
be it remembered, is not SO much on ar
ticles used by the rich as on the neces-
sites of the poor. That's the Republic
an doctrine. The Democratic doctrine
taxes articles not necessary to the poor
and used by the rich as luxuries. The
Democratic idea is to relieve the neces-
stiles of life of light duties and put
them on articles used by the rich as
luxuries only. That is the difference
between the two political parties.

Fashions Newest Colors.

A long time ago people used to think
that blue was essentially color for
blondes and angels. Mob ody can dis
pute its being the color for angels, but
it is certainly not the one to be chosen
by blonde. The fair skin looks cold
enough, and when blue, specially pale
blue, is put near it the effect given is
very undesirable, because what was
clear white before becomes pall0r

Our Tariff Pensioners.

For the fiscal year ending last June
the Government paid out to our soldier
pensioners little over one hundred and
nine millions of dollars. This is little
less than one-third of the entire
revenues Of the Government. But,
through the agency of the tariff upon
imports, it is estimsted that one thous-
and millions were drawn from the con-
sumers Of the United States. OF this
s1, ,000, 600, 900 but two hundred millions
were paid into the Treasury from the
ports of entry. One hundreds millipns
came from whisky and tobacco and the
other seven hundred millions went to

can contribute handsomely to re-elect
Mckinley.

Don't Scratch a Congressman.

No Democrat in Ohio should vote for
gress in any one of the twentY-one Con-
gressional districts of the State. A vote
for Republican candidate means vote
for Tom Reed, the tyrant and Caesar of
the Republican party. 1t means vote
for. Bill Mckinley, whom Reed would
appoint chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, if the latter is elect
ed. Every Republican elected to Con-
gress from Ohio will vote for the re-elec-
tion of Brutal Reed and Reed will
pack the Ways and Means Committee
in the interests of the trusts and pro-
teoted monopolies backing Bill McKin-
ley. As every body knows, the chair
manship of this committee has almost
absolute power. Every bill presented
for the relief of the people, for lower
taxation, for cheaper necessities of life,
goes into his hands and if he does not
like it he can simply pigeon-hole it and
that will be the last of it. Remember
when you are voting this fall that bal
lot cast for any Republican Congress-
man is an endorsement of TYrant Reed.
by whose orders eight Democrats have
been driven from their seats in Congress
to which they had been elected by large
majorities. Does any Democrat in Ohio
wish to indorse Reed? Do they want to
put Mckinley into a position where he
can lepislate in such a manner that will
bring thousands of dollars from the
creatures of protection into the treasury
of the Republican campaign? Let every
Democrat remember this and vote to
break up this unholy alliance between
the leaders of the Republican party and
the protected monopolies of the coun-
try.

History May Repeat Itself.

In many respects Governor Campbell
resembles Samuel ]. Tilden and Grover
Cleveland When Mr.. Tilden was elect
ed Governor of New York he found
state of things in New.York City. WnE
Tweed at the time was the boss-of Met

and ruled Tammany Hall, an ancient
and powerful Democratic organization.
Tweed captured it and used it to his
own purposes masquerading as Demo-
crat. He had fastened himself upon
the city in such a way that he
was considered impregnable. Sam
uel J. Tilden discovered that
he was corrupt man; that he was plum
dering the people of millions. He ex-
posed him and made war upon him, and
after a desperate battle Tweed was
driven from power and died in prison.
Samuel J. Tilden was afterward elected
President of the United States. Later
along the people of Buffalo took up
young lawyer named Grover Cleveland
and made him mayor of that city. He
soon found that ring had fastened it.
self upon the city, and was plundering
the people. He made, war upon 1t and
drove from power the 1eeches sucking
the blood of the people. Grover Cleve-
land was afterward elected President of
the United States. In 1889 the Democ-
racy of Ohio elected James E. Campbell.
Governor of the State. The following
year he discovers that a ring exists in
Cincinnati organized for the purpose Of
plundering the people and bleeding
those who have business with the board.
He has made war upon it. In the pub
lie prints he characterizes the leader as
dishonest and demands his resignation.
He proposes that only honest men be
put on guard, and to that end appeals
to the moral support of his party press

who believe in public honesty and of.

The History of Pepper.

The value of pepper in cooking
seems to have been known long ago.
Its use as a medicine was common in
the days of Hippocrates, who applied
it, moistened with alcohol, to the skin
of his patients. just as sugar and tea
have been in past times SO dear as only
to be within the reach of the wealthy,
so pepper was in the Middle Ages 8
very costly condiment. So much was
it valued that small packet was at
that time deemed a suitable present to
offer a great person. Common or
black pepper is now grown in many
tropical countries. It is climbing
plant some twelve feet high, bearing
fruit of bright red color the size Of q
pea, which. when dried. turns black.
