Every day is new one, and each succeeding
sunrise brings with it additional evidence that
the present generation is more progressive than
the one which preceded it. And this is as true
OF Washington as 1t is of any other city in the
United States. In the past capital seeking in
vestment has been compelled to 90 elsewhere
for the opportunity. Now the opportunity is
brought to our very doors. Until quite re-
Gently stock companies were only organized
among those who possessed large sums of
money. but the discovery has been made that
few dollars from each of large number Of per-
sons furnishes the capital with which to carry
on business enterprise as readily as does
large sum from each of small number of share
holders. And what is more, the larger number
OF stockholders. there are in a corporation the
greater will be the interest taken in the success
OF the undertaking. An illustration of this
fact is found in the formation of the Grand
fathers Remedies Company, stock company
recently chartered under the Virginia Code for
the manufacture and sale of proprietary medi-
cines extracts, perfumes, etc. The organizers
and promoters of the enterprise are all men of
moderate means, but possessing the other
qualities so essential to the success of any busi-
ness venture-pluck, energy and business capa-
CITY, The medicines which they propose to put
on the market have been tested in Washington
for several years, and their value has been dem
onstrated in many cases which had appeared
to battle the skill of all physicians, but which
dict that the company will meet with success in
their efforts to place their product before the
people of the country.
The capital stock of the company has been
placed at 100000, one-half of which is offered
for sale in shares of $50 each on the installment
plan-10 per cent payable at the city Office of
the company, 1921 streetnorthwest, March 16,
and the balance in monthly payments of 10 per
cent. each. For the accommodation of those
who may desire to investigate before investing
these offices are kept open daily from $50 A.
M. till 9 2. M. Samples of the goods are shown
and subscriptions to stock received at the same
place. Already large number of citizens of
Washington have signed the stock subscription
lists, and the enterprise is now an assured sue
cess. Plans are being drawn for an extensive
laboratory, which is to be erected at Takoma
Park, Md, and active preparations are being
made to get the work Of manufacture under
way on large scale, as the present facilities are
barely sufficient to supply the retail trade in this
city, and consequently orders from druggists
cannot now be filed.
A large stock of favoring extracts have been
opened at the city office, and are offered for
sale as samples of the goods to be manufactured,
at the low price of ten cents per bottle Those
in need of such goods should call and investi-

of its public servants. If these are
destroyed, our government if it en-
dlures, will endure only in name,
failing to bless those for whom it
was created and failing in its mis-
sion as an example to mankind.
Public extravaganza in its relation
to inequitable tariff lows, not only
lays an unjust tribute upon the peo-
pie, but is responsible for unfair ad-
vantages bestowed upon special and
favored interests as the price Of par
tisan support. Thus the exercise
of the popular will for the benefit
OF the country at large is replaced
by sordid and selfish motives direc-
ted to personal advantage, while the
encouragement of such motives in
public place for party ends, deadens
the official conscience.
But to my mind, the saddest and
most frightful result Of public extra
vagance is seen in the readine SIS of
our people, who are not dishonest
but only heedless,to accustom them
selves to that direliction in a public
place which it involves. Evidence
is thus furnished that our country
men are in danger of losing that
scrupulous insistence upon the faith
full discharge Of duty on the part of
their public servants, the regard for
economy and frugality which be-
iongt to sturdy Americanism, the
independence which relies upon the
personal endeavor, and the love Of
an honest ahd well regulated gov
ernment, all ct which lie at the
foundation Of our free institution.
Have I overstated the evils. and
danger with which the tremendous
growth of public extravaganza
threatens us? Every man who loves
his country well enough to pause
and think Of these things must
know that I have not.
Let us, then, as we push on in our
campaign Of education, especially
impress upon our country men, the
lesson that public ex: i
travaganceais a deadly, dangerous
thing; that frugality and economy
are honorable, that the virtue and
watchfulness Of the people are the
surest safeguards against abuse in
government, and that those who
profess to serve their fellow -citizens
IN public places must be faithful to
their trust.

a Congressman On The Billion,

At the beginning Of the Harrison
administration Hon. J. B. Hender-
son, congressman from the Seventh
Illinois district, was one Of its chief
advisers, butat the end of the Fifty
first Congress his admirotion had
waned and his confidence weakened.
He evidently did not assent to Mr..
Harrison's opinion that it is time to
quit apologizing. On the contrary
he was fearful that the party would
not be able to apologize enough. He
said:
Gas Republican, I think the ex-
travagance Of the congress just ad-
journed was an outrage upon the
party and the people. However the
appropriations may be justified, the
fact that they reached 81, ,ooo,o 900
is of itself appalling. No such enor-
nifty of appropriations has been vo-
ted since the war, and occurring in
time of profound peace, as this is,
and when the greatest economy was
demanded, no excuse can be offered
for the extravaganza. The Repub-
licans in congress must have procee-
ded upon the theory that they were
not coming into power again for
about 400 years. Their closing days
reminded me very forcibly Of the
closing days Of the Democratic con-
gress which went ont on March 4th,
1861. AS Republican, I feel that
the comparison is odious, but in the
most respects it is just. l hope that
if we have another Republican con-
gress soon it will devote its time to
methods of economy different from
those observed by the Fifty.frst
Congress-

yastness of the sum Of a Thousand

Of Buffalo, N. Y.,ex-P Pres lent Cleve-
land was an invited guest. He was
received with great enthusiasm. In
the course Of an address the ex-
President said;
believe the most threatening f.
gure which stands in the way Of the
safety of our government and the
happiness Of our people is reckless
and wicked extravagancein our pub
lie expenditures. 1t is the most fa-
tai Of all the deadly brood born of

But lately a large surplus remained
in the peoples public treasury after
meeting all expenditures then by no
means economical.
This condition was presented to
the American public as positive
proof that their burden Of taxation
was unjust because unnecessary;
and yet while the popular protest is
still heard, the harpy Of public ex-
travagance deyours the surplus and
impudently calls on its staggering
victims to bring still larger supplies
within the reach of its insatiate ap-
petite. A few short years ago a
pension roll amounting to fifty three
millions Of dollars was WILLINGLY
maintained by our patriotic citizens
To-day public extravaganza DEGREES

pretext that its expenditure repre-
sents the popular love Of the soldier
Not many years ago a river and har-
Dor bill appropriating eleven mill
lions Of dollars gave rise to loud
popular protest.
Now, public extravaganza COM
mands an appropriation of s22, ,Ooo,-
900 for the same purposes and the
people are silent. To-day millions
are paid for bare-faced subsidy, and
this is approved or condoned at the
behest Of public extravaganza, and
thus new marauder is turned loose
which in company with its vicious
tariff partner, bears pilfered benefit
to the households Of favored selfish
interests.
Our Democratic faith teaches us
that the useless exaction Of money
from the people upon the false pre-
text of public necessity is the worst
of all governmental perversions,a and
involves the greatest Of Dangers to

has the following:
Frontier life at best is full of
hardships but it is little less than
brutal the hardships which are
imposed on our poor, deluded Da-
kotans in the frozen and drouth-
stricken regions Of Manitoba and
the northwest. We are glad to
be able to state that a very large
portion of the deluded ones are
not American born citizens, but
poor, deluded foreigners who
could but imperfectly understand
what was told them and were
wholly unprepared for the rascaly
deceptions which were practiced
upon them. What we said a few
weeks ago, viz: Call who can will
speedily return to the Dakotas,''
soon will prove true, it is to be
feared many, have exhausted their
all in reaching the promised Mec-
ca, which they supposed to be
land veritably flowing with milk
and honey, where the harvests
were abundant and little or no

was perpetual and comfortable

She learned that the trial had again

ing she returned to Flemington and
summoned her physician. She grew
worse rapidly, and died on Friday at
o'clock p, M. She had just closed con-
tract to remodel her large mansion here,
in this most modern style, at cost OF
$4,000.
Mrs. Porret had made Flemington
her home for eight years. 1 was not

the fact was brought out in the late trial
in New York that Frederick Carrard had
been her husband for twenty years.
