SENATOR CoCkRELL of Missouri says De
Is afraid the setrerchment to be made ny
tina next Congress will not be as great as
,he people have G right to expect. Why 81
Republican congresses have created many
Gseloes and expensive commissions. II tee
republican Senate in The next Congress will
not let them be abolished, let the democratic
House refuse to provide for their support.
This is one wsy by which retrenchment may
be effected. Another way Is the stoppsge
of the foolish expenditure for new naVes
and Notifications. which, owing to daily i'm
proyements, will be obsoete before compile
ton. But there are numerous cthers, equal
iv, il rot even more effective. There are
plenty of means by which the expectations
If the people respecting retrenchment may
he fully realiz C. The trouble will arise
from the hestaDcy OF the democratic ma
joriiy in the House to avail itself of them.

Third Party Condemned.

Delaware district Union No. 6,
at its meeting in April, passed a
resolution for the district to cele-
brate the 4th OF July. The 4th
coming on Saturday, it was decided
that the next stated meeting con-
vene on Thursday, the 2nd of July,
and that the celebration be held
wherever the meeting was placed.
There was an effort made by my.
self and few others to place the
meeting at Alton, on account OF
convenience and it being near the
center Of the district, but owing to
the fact that we have held ma
iority Of the sessions west of Grand
river, it was finally decided to as
semble at Lost Creek Union, To-
Gated on the Frisco railroad three
or four miles east of Grand river,
at Shawnee switch. 1t was con-
sidered unadvisable for the Alli-
ance to place a ticket in the field
in the pending election, we not
being sufficiently organized. The
third party move was. on account
of being manned by the very men
from both Of the old political par
ties who it was to the interest Of
tho people to leave at home, con-

yet full.
