The Democratic pApsrs flog the
changes on G4rfield's lAngasge relative
20 pensions, 10 the effect that we may
reasonably expect that the expendl-
lures for psnslons alil hereafter stead
Ay deere2ss. unless cur legislation
should be unwSTrantly extravasant.
Garfield Was speaking from the stand
point or pension legislation 81 that day.
The treubls with tie Democracy is that
Il never can advance with the stride OF
events. Ii Is nearly twenty years since
Garneld used that lsnguage-twenty
years Of progress snd national deyri-
opment. This has grown ny to be
"b.llioa dollar country" now. What
would have been ex.rayagant then
"un sarrantabiy extrayagant" ia mere
normal expenditure now. Since Gar
feid's day this country mas seen nj TO
extend the pension allowance so as TO
include. not merely actual veterans of
the war, but their dependents, and
what Democratic paper dares To come
out openly and condemn IT. What
Democratic platform has the courage
even to deprecate it, Not one. But
Democratic papers, in true copperhead
fashion, will growl, and grumble. and
snarl. and snivel over the awful eypen-
ditures for pension purposes. There is
nothing manly about that kind of
course. II the Democracy actually be-
lleves IN cutting down the pension al
Iowances, why doesn't il say so in It's
platforms. or else muzzle its press that
Is continually belying II?
The Democratic party never can get
over the idea that this country IS still
what IT was when they surrendered il
te the Republican party-a seventy mine
alleged nationality, OF no standing
among the nations of the earth anG
composed Of independent elements.
each endowed with an inalienable right
to defy tho only cohesive power that
held them together-a government of
no resources or credit, that went "a
borrowing and sorrowing" to meet its

BEWARE OF .soUAwBuCK" OIL

A few days since the TELEGRAM HER.
AID criticized the legislation of the
"squawbucks" which reduced the test
of kerosene oil 25 degrees, insist
ing that oil had been made perhaps a
trlilc cheaper. at the expense of life,
limb and health. AS our criticisms
may be charged up to political pre-
judice, We take great pleasure in quot
ing the language Of the Kalamazoo
Gazette, rock-ribbed Democratic
journal. Here it is: "Our citizens
should be careful about using kerosene
in the future. The test was reduced
25 degrees by the last Legislature. This
may possibly reduce the price 2 cents
per gallon, but Mt least 20 per cent. of
gasoline will be added to the oil, which
is combustion itself. Those using kero-
sene stoves should be careful to see
that they arc kept clean and free.
Several narrow escapes from fire have
already occurred IN this city. Do rot
by all means leave kerosene lamps
turned down and 60 away and leave
them unless you court o fire."

Some of the local daiIies are exhibit
ing symptoms of 4Eolian cole because
the city OF Detroit is pleased to get rid
OF the towers that are to be erected IN
this city. The writers OF the articles
are evidently unacquainted with the
situation. When the first tower light
ing contract expired in Detroit the con-
tracing company supposed 1t had a
cinch and did not look for competition.
II was treated to a surprise, such as the
Grand Rapids Electric Light and Power
Company has just experienced. for an
upstart interloper came IN with much
lower bid, and walked away with the
contract. This irritated the original
contractors and they showed their re-
sentiment by refusing to loan, rent or
sell their towers to the new company.
The new company erected its own
towers and afterward peace was de-
clared. but there was an extra set Of
towers for which the company or the
city had no use. This condition of
affairs is about to be mended. Grand
Rapids is to have better light and De-
troit 10 to be rid of the towers that are
duplicated by another system in which
the distribution is much better arranged

THE following extract from an edi-
torial in the London Economist Of the
llth inst. the eTELEGRAM-H would
respectfully call to the careful atten.
ton o. the Democrat. Coming from
the source II does, it should commend
itself 10 the unprejudiced judgment of
our Cobdenite neighbor: "What is
patent to the meanest understanding
is, that to successfully compete with
any American firm who may take up
the manufacture of tin plate. our max
ers must cut their prices. The only
way to keep the trade is to show the
Americans that they can not reap any
great advantage from taking up this
manufacture themselves. If they find
they can not do so, whether 1t be by
reason of the English makers indulg-
ing in q stop for months or quarrels
with their men, either of which will
raise prices to an artificial level, then
we may be very sure that the days of
the tin plate trade of this country with
America are numbered. And what
this means will be readily appreciated
when We add that of the entire output
OF tin plates the United States con-
sumers take about seyen-tenths.
