| it takes to meet it's expenses. But q
word here as to the appropriations o
the fifty-first congress, and the fiftieth
congress, where the house was Demo.
cratic. The appropriations OF the
fiftieth congress were SS17, 1868, $50
80; that of the fifty-first congress was
$9SS, ,417,243.3 excess of tifty-frst
congress over fiftieth, S160, 453, ,3S3.-
81. This excess of appropriations
was caused mainly by state of facts
that rebound to the credit of the Re-
publican party in comparison with
those that stand opposed to them.
"To begin with, the fiftieth congress
left a deficiency OF S25, 900, 600 in the
pension appropriation. This should
have raised the appropriations of the
fiftieth congress by that amount and
lessened those OF the fifty-first to the
same extent. That disposes OF $780,
600, 900 OF the discrepancy at single
blow. Then there was an increase of
the pension appropriations, by reason
OF the new pension law, to the extent
OF $50, ,66S, ,237 That makes S112,-
66S,631 OF the discrepancy. Would
Governor Campbell leave off these ap-
propriations?
"Then we voted 4,O43, 900 for
the increase of the navy. We added
s., ,30S, 900 for the purchase OF the
title to Indian lands, every dollar of
which will come back to us with
large margin OF profit when the land
is sold to settlers. Following on,
item by item, the excess is reduced to
less than 81 100000, when the COM
parison is properly made between
the Democratic congress of 1SS6-SS
and the Republican congress of 1888

All doubt as to McKinley's election

Every free-trade speech he makes is

"The mills of the gods grind slowly"
but not half as slowly as the Mills OF
Texas will grind in convincing voters
of intelligence that free trade would be
a good thing for the United States

Mills is the fellow that drew up the
tariff bill, placing sugar on the du-
table list and wool on the free list.
Such craftsmanship as that don't go
down with the Buckeye people, and
they don't particularly desire to be in
structed by such a man when it comes
to voting.-London Times.
Having turned complete somer-
sault on the silver issue, Clown Mills is
now looking about for the thunders OF
applause which should reward the
gymnastic exercise. 1t doesn't come

Speaking about Vanderbilts reminds
me OF a story told me by certain
noted newspaper man, as he received
it from the lips of tine elder Wander
bilt. 1t was an account of the occa-
sion when Gen. Grant, in desperation,
went alone to Mr.. Vanderbilt to oor-
row money to tide over the Ward
Grant business.
Gen. Grant was not business man,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette. He knew nothing of business
methods. He was keenly sensitive in
money matters, and had seen much OF
poverty and pecuniary trouble. Few
people can ever know what it cost
Gen. Grant in humiliation and distress
to make that visit to Vanderbilt.
He sent his card in to Mr.. Wander
bilt during the latter's business hours.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt saw the card he
stepped out to the ante-room and
there saw Gen. Grant sitting with
other people, waiting for an audience
in the order in which he had entered.
He greeted the general warmly, and
asked him to step into the private
Office.
Gen. Grant drew back, saying that
| there were others ahead OF him, and
he would await his turn. Mr.. Wander
| bilt insisted, and Gen. Grant passed
into the private Office. He was not
there over five minutes.
Mr.. Vanderbilt seated himself, but
Gen. Grant remained standing, de
clining to take seat, and holding his
soft hat, with military cord, in his
hand.
Gen. Grant said: al have come on
a matter of business, Mr.. Vanderbilt
"All right" said Mr.. Vanderbilt
sis there anything that l can do foI
you, general?" for he suspected the
nature of the generals visit.
Said Gen. Grant, with the ghost ol
a smile: 81 would like to exchange
checks with YOU"
"Glad to hear it," said Mr.. Wander
bilt, drawing to him check-book and
dipping his pen in the ink. "How
much shall it be?"
Gen. Grant hesitated and looked
away, and finally answered in low
voice: "One hundred and fifty thous
and dollars"
| Inc check was quickly hlIeo oue ane
handed to Gen. Grant. He took 1t
grasped Mr.. Vanderbilt's hand mo
ment, and walked out hurriedly with
out a word.
The rest of the matter is known
the conveyance OF the swords ant
relics, ETC., to Mr.. Vanderbilt.
l spoke of this pathetic story t
John Russell Young, who was a fel
low-traveler with me on Maine tran
one long and pleasant day recently
and he was certainly as near to Gran
as any other man, who said he ha'
no doubt of it's correctness, and
have given it as it was given to me.
John Russell Young added his belle
that had it not been for that troubl
Gen. Grant might be still alive an
among us.

homes in Meagher county and struck out

THE employees had been in the barn and
placed the harnesses on the horses, prepar-

breakfast in the company's building, stu
ated about 300 feet east OF the burned
building, when the fire was discovered, it
having been caused by the explosion of a
lantern. There were ninety-one head of
horses in the building at the time the fire
broke out, and all but forty-one were got
out. but four OF those taken out were so
badly burned that they were found to be
totally blind, with the skin dropping from
their flesh. AS they could neither eat nor
drink they were shot. A number OF the
Others taken out were badly singed and
burned, some with their tails and names
entirely off. The building is a total loss,
and about forty OF the fifty sets OF double
harness are gone. There were about 1000
bushels OF oats in the barn, OF which about
one-third are burned.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

From Our Regular Correspondent.l
WASHINGTON, Oct. Q, 1891.
The president has once more shown him.
self worthy of being at the head Of an ad-
minstration that believes it's first duty to
be the protection OF American interests,
abroad as well as at he me. There was no
unnecessary fuss or bluster about it, but
as soon as the news was received that the
Chilan iunta had arrested American citi-
zens and surrounded the residence of the
United States minister to that country
with an armed guard, the president direct
ed the acting secretary of state to cable
Minister Egan to demand the immediate
release of the American citizens arrested
and the removal of the guard from around
the o. s. legation, and in the event of re-
fusal to call on Captain Schley, OF the q. s.
S. Baltimore, for protection. There were
other intricate questions which arose dur
ing the consideration OF this matter, ques-
tions which have at various times been the
subject of important diplomatic contro-
versies between nations, but the president
said in effect: These are side issues that
may hereafter be determined through the
regular diplomat tic channels; what we must
have at once is respect for our representa-
tive in Chill, whatever the cost may be.
There is little doubt that European infiu-
ences were behind this silly attempt on the
part OF the temporary ChIlian government
to put an affront upon the United States,
but those influences, strong as they are,
were not strong enough to hold up the
Gillian backbone when Minister Egan COM
municated the presidents vigorous and
not to be misunderstood language to the
iunta, and his demands were at once ac-
ceded to. The so-called Gillian legation in
this city took no part i'm the matter for the
very simple reason that it has never been
officially recognized by this government, not
having yet presented proper credentials.
Hon. n. c. Mcfarland of Kansas, who
was commissioner OF the general land office
under the Garfield administration, is in
Washington. He has always been accred-
tied with being a close observer Of things
political, and he says of the present out
look in his state: THE Farmers Alliance
in Kansas will not be heard of i'm the next
national election. Their claims of being
able to carry the state for third party
ticket in '92 are regarded by everyone who
has any real knowledge of the condition of
affairs throughout the state as absurd.

Will Have to Lock Him Up.

The Texas Mills now has both feet
in his mouth. Not satisfied wholly
with the declaration that he is in
favor of tax on sugar, and that free
silver is not what it is cracked up to
be, he has struck more terror to the
hearts of the Ohio Democrats by as
serting that wool should be placed on
the free list. Mr.. Mills and his "con-
victions" are revolving like button
on a smoke-housedoor. If the Demo
cratic state central committee was
wise it would put wheels under the
Texan and run him off into Iowa OIL

Maj. McKinlsy's Statement.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Oct. 9.-Mai. Nc
Kinley this evening spose to an enor-
nous crowd at Findlay. He referred
to Gov. CampbelPs assertion OF yes
terday that the Findlay window glass
works employed chiefly Belgians and
other unnaturalized workmen, and
that the ''meager pay" of these men
had been reduced since the passage of
the Mckinley bill. As a result OF in
quiries made today, he said upon good
authority that of the 500 window
glass workers in Findlay there are not
over fifty Belglans, and those, all but
FIVE, have been naturalized, or have
taken out their first papers. The
"meager wages" ranging from 100 to
$500 per month, have not been re-
duced one penny since the passage of
the Mckinley bill.

Her Life Burden Was More Than She
Could stand.

Mrs. JAS. Bissonette, living at 397
Scribner-st., committed suicide yester-
day morning at 1890 O'Clock by taking
an overdose of morphine. The reasons
assigned for the rash act are that her
husband, who runs = blacksmith shop
on Leonard-st.. near the bridge. has
been coming home IN an intoxicated
condition night after night and abusing
his wife IN consequence. Another u
that the waywardness of her daughter
Lena. who was some time ago sent TO
the Adrian reform school. has borne
heavily on hcr mind. She left A note
addressed to her husband, saving that
with her last breath she had mentioned
ms name and that she loved nIm still.
She also spoke of her daughter and ssid
that she thought il was better 80. She
had tried 10 bear her load uncomplsln-
Inely. but the burden was more than
she could stand. The letter wss very
pathetic Mrs. Blssonette vas about A.
