IN a TIGHT PLACE,
The Harrison-Ouay Machine Troubled by
Promises Made in 1888

Promises Made in 1888.
The Republican party came into pow
err burdened with obligations which it
finds itself unable to discharge, and the
most difficult problem it now has to solve
is how to reward its friends and pay
even a small part of its political debts
without running the country. When out
of power it promised every thing to
every body; but there is not money
enough to go around, and as no one
is willing to be left out of the dis.
tribution, or even to reduce his claim,
the situation has become quite serious.

would reduce taxation, and it has prom

Interfere with the stability of our cur

these pledges, it proposes to convert the
Treasury Department into warehouse
for the storage of silver bullion and to
issue receipts to be used as money.
This is the only new financial policy it
has so far developed, but it's resources
are not yet exhausted, and if the de-
mands of the disconnected become suffi-
GENTLY strong, we may have paper
promises to pay issued upon deposits of
wheat and corn, or upon farm mort

that his claim upon the bounty Of tho
Government is notas just as the claims
of the prosperous owner of silver mines
or the wealthy owner OF ships.-Ex-

United states Marshals on the Track OF
Mayor Cottrell.

CEDAR KEYS, Fla, May 15.-Four
deputy United States marshals arrived
here late Tuesday night for the purpose
of arresting Mayor Cottrell and his mar
shall, Mitchell, on the charge of assault
ing Customs Collector Pinkerton and in
terfering with him in the prosecution
of Government business. This action
of the Government authorities is the re-
suls of a long series of outrages per-
petrated by Cottrell, in most of which
ne has been aided and abetted by Mar
shall Mitchell. The latter was arrested
but Cottrell is hiding.

The Hoar-Iodee Doodle Bill.

Senator Hoar and Congressman Lodge,
of Massachusetts, are very anxious to
put the control of Congressional cleo
lions, and, indeed, all State affairs, into
the hands of the Harrison Administrar

autocratic, unconstitutional nature OF
the scheme, the taxpayers will be inter
es3ed in knowing that Mr.. Lodges bill
alone involves at each election an ex-
penditure of So, 10000 and it would not
influence the result of the election in
more than half dozen districts. Here
is something for Republican Senators
and congressman to ponder over. is
the game worth the candle, as the
French would say? Yet this ruinous
scheme is being vigorously pushed in
Congress. The Republican leaders are
committed to it. They do not care
straw how much it costs the tax-pay-
