The Great Fight of 1892.

In his speech in behalf of Minneapolis
before the Republican National Committee,
Senator Washburn said that in his judg-
ment the great fight in the coming cam
paign was TO be in the Northwest-in Ne
braska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
the Dakotas. And the Judgment OF many
others is in accord with that Of Senator
Washburn. These states for years had
been reliably Republican, but for fve or
six years past Republican majorities have
been dwindling. Two Of them, Iowa and
Nebraska. have Democratic Governors.
Iowa has been carried by the Democrats IN
the last three successive elections, and six
of her eleven Congressman are Democrats.
In Minnesota but one Republican was elect
ed to Congress last year, the Democrats
CARRYING three districts and the Farmers
Alliance one. No Republicans will be in
the next Congress from Nebraska, the del
egation being divided between Democrats
and Farmers Alliance. From Wisconsin
the Democrats hold eight Of the nine seats.
Not only in the Northwest, but every
where, the fight on the Republican side will
have to be energetic Michigan, that In
1880 gave Garfield nearly 100, 900 major
ity over Hancock, today has Democratic
Governor and eight of her eleven Congress
men are Democrats. In Illinois, that used
to be good for from 10000 to 10000 Re
publican majority. the Republicans barely
elected their candidate for Governors year
AGO, while the Democrats carried the Leg
islature and secured gain of a Democratic
United States Senator They also carried
fourteen of the twenty congressional dis
tricts. Ohio will have to be fought for,
also Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hamp
shire and Massachusetts. The Democrats
have carried the latter state in the last two
elections, and the drift of the young and
progressive element there is toward Demo-
crazy.
In viewing the field the only really GER
tain Republican states appear to be Maine,
Vermont, Pennsylvania and Kansas. In
all others, that few years back could have
been counted upon with certainty for the
Republican ticket, the party will have
struggle to hold in 1892. Close calcutta
tors, whose judgments are not swayed by
their desires, will have to put most Of the
large and powerful states in the doubtful
column.
While the contest next year will be warm
in every state North and West, Senator
Washburn is right in locating the great
struggle in the Northwest. In the West
and Northwest is where the Republican
strength was concentrated, and there is
where the party has lost ground rapidly and
is still losing Not state from the Ohio
river to the DakOtas eau be counted upon
certainly for either party next year, unless
Indiana may be counted for the Democrats.

There was bloodless revolution in Bra
zil on Monday. President Fonseca, who
undertook to make himself Dictator, en-
countered strong opposition throughout the
country, and on Monday the Congressional
party in Rio Janeiro took up arms and
captured the arsenal, almost without a
struggle. Upon its fall Fonseca resigned
the Presidency and new government is
in course of formation. Dom Pedro was
deposed in day, and sent out of the coun-
try. An empire was thus turned In day
to republic, and an ambitious President,
who assumed dictatorial powers, was in a
day made to renounce his Office and retire.
For lightning changes Brazillians seem to
be more apt than Frenchmen, and they
have the advantage, also, of accomplishing
their purpose without bloodshed.

crArEMENT OF RECEIPTS
DISBURSEMENTS,
For Public School Purposes 1or Inc
Last School Year.

IT. the Honorable, the Board Of County
Sebool Commissioners Of Carroll county
In submitting for publication in the local
papers. according to the requirements ol 'i5
Scbool Law. a statement of the receipts ana
! sbnrsn,ents on account of the public schools
of the county during the year which ended
81 Jniv. 1891. am pleased to note, as an
evidence of growing popular appreciation OF
the system, that the enrolment during tne
wear was 2S9, and the average attendance was
30. more than in the preceding year. ms
Is the largest increase in one year the schools
have ever known. -
The consequent increase IN expenses anu
the draft of SO, 500 on the year revenues
made in the previous year and noticed IN the
LAST annual statement, threatened serious
embarrassment and the loss Of half a term OF
school. which was happily averted by an
extra allowance from the County Comms-
sioners and some temporary loans. Inc
latter could not all be paid within the year.
Hence the statement shows an increase IN
vonr Indebtedness of So, 900, large part OF
which has been discharged since the close OF
the year. 80
The actual expenditure for books and sta
tionery bought within the year was "a ,49S.io'
the other 81, 361. go included in this item be-
ing an unpaid balance from the previous
wear. 1t will be seen, however, that the
book-fees were insufficient to pay the cost OF
the books for the year by S267.S2. 1t is a
matter of some concern that this unwelcome
condition is likely to continue. On the other
hand. the demand for new schoolhouses has
been SO nearly supplied as to render 1t no
longer oppressive.
There are yet several to build as old ones
fail. but the annual outlay required for this
purpose can not again, for many years to
come, seriously embarrass the treasury;
Three were built during the year at total
cost of about 81 300.
1t is sincerely gratifying to note extensive
improvement among the teachers OF the
county, both in attainments and in interest IN
their work. They exhibit higher grade OF
scholarship, and better knowledge OF
methods every year. The attendance at all
meetings of their County Association is ex-
cellent, and the exercises are continually
growing more interesting and profitable. In
spite of severe cold weather, LAT Of the l5z
employed in the county were present through
out an Institute held at the close of the
winter term of school which the press of the
county and a concensus of public opinion
pronounced Zone of the most important, en-
pertaining and successful ever held in the
county" | have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,

The Virginia debt, that has been dis
turbing element for twenty years, and which
made Malone prominent and gave the Re-
publican party standing in the Old Do
minion, is now about to be settled upon a
basis that will be easy for the taxpayers
and satisfactory to the creditors. The
agreement is to fund the debt, nineteen
millions of dollars, in new bonds, to run
one hundred years. These bonds will bear
two per cent. for the first ten years and
three per cent. for the balance of the time

1t is now definitely settled that both the
Senate and House of the New York Legis-

stand l6 Democrats, 10 Republicans and l
Independent. If the latter should vote
with the Republicans, which is doubtful,
the Democratic Lieut.. Governor, who is
presiding officer of the Senate, would have
the deciding vote in all ties. The House
stands 81 Democrats to 81 Republicans.

In his proclamation appointing a day of
thanksgiving, President Harrison speaks of
the marvellous prosperity which has
crowned the year now drawing to a close. "
He says it is too great to be the work Of
man, and ascribes it to God, the benefcent
and the all-wise. 1t has been customary
for Republicans to attribute prosperity Of
all kinds to Protective tariff. In not
crediting this marvellous prosperity to
the Mckinley bill, Mr.. Harrison is in
danger of being read out of the party.

The Increase of Pensions.


Senator Sherman writes to Private Dalzel
the great pension promoter, in reply to
Secretary Bussey's recommendation Of halt
no scaling down Of pensions while the Sen.
ate is Republican or while we have a Repub-
lican President"
Stealing down" may not be the proper
method of reducing the cost of pensions, but
unless the reckless increase of expense on
this account be stopped in some way, either
the whole pension system will suffer from
the popular reaction against it. or the Treas
ury will be bankrupt, unless new taxes shall
be imposed.
The number of pensioners has increased
from 207 900 in 1871 to 676, 900 in 1891. The
increase last year was 1873, 600, which is more
than half the whole number on the list in
1880, fifteen years after the close of the war.
There are over 500, 900 new claims pending.
The cost of pensions this year will be $3.50.
600, 900. This is an increase of 800, 000, 900
within ten years.
The cost Of pensions is now more than
double the total expense of the National
Government in the years before the war. 1t
is equal to the cost of two of the great stand
ing armies in Europe. 1t absorbs one third
of the national revenues,
To suppose this work of claim agents and
and demagogues can go on indefinitely is to
imagine the people Indifferent to the burdens
of taxation or to the honor Of the soldiers
who saved the Union not for pelf but for
patriotism.
