One Thousand MIlIlon DolIars.

Have you an adequate idea OF
how much the Congress just add
journed cost2 Look at the figures.
The New York Herald says of the
expenses:
Imagine, if possible the enormity
of the sum.
Aye. enormity is the right word.
1t stands for tan exceeding offense
against right or decency; atrocious
crime; fagitious villiny; atrocity."
And what milder terms will the
people of this country use when they
learn that 81 600, 600, 600 have been
aided to the burdens that already
grind and Cypress them?
One thousand million dollars in
new and increased appropriations
That is the record of this republi-
can Congress whose legislative life

needless, inexcusable taxation with
out a laundering protest at the
polls? We think not.

Austin Corbin is reported to be
the coming daddy of the greatest
trans Atlantic steamship line that
was ever dreamed of. The run
across the pond is to be made in five
days, the ships are to be 10000 tons
each; they are to be of steel and
make twenty-four miles an hour
and nothing but passengers and
light exress freight is to be admitted
on board. There will be eight fiy-
ers in all, to cost in the aggregate
s12,O00,000. The incentive to this
future enterprise is the U. S. subsidy
for carrying the mails. At first
blush it looks as if there is just one
wild, foolish statement about the
story, to-wit: IF they are to carry
little or no freight, what in the
name of common sense is the use of
making them of the enormous capac-
ity of 10000 tons. Wouldn't 5000
or 4 900 tons do just as we'll? But
probably Mr.. Corbin expects to car
ry so many passengers that he in
tends to store them away in the hold
in bulk. Great minds like Austin
Corbin's grasp such matters with
ease.-RegiSter.

Physicians.

Castoria has met with pronounced
favor on the part of physicians, phartn.
aceutical socie ties, and medical author
tiles. 1t is used by physicians with re-
suits most gratifying. The present ex.
tended use of Castoria is unquestiona.
bly, the result of three facts: LIST, The
indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
I'd, that it not only allays stomach pains
and quiets the nerves, but assimilates
the food, and Sd, t Isl an agreeable and
perfect substitute for castor oil. 1t Is
alb olutcly safe. Itdoes not contain anv
opium, morphine, or other norcotic.-
unlike Soothing Syrup, Bateman's
Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, &c, it does
not Supply. This is n good deal for a
medical journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record
the means of advancing health. The
day OF poisoning innocent children
through greed or ignorance ought to
end To our knowledge, Castoria is a
remedy which produces cOmposure and
health by regdsating the system-not
by supplying it-and our readers are
entitled to the iuformation.-Ha !
Journal Of Health.
Il regard Castoria as one of the best
remedies for children of which I ann
acquainted. have prescribed it in nv
practice to several children recently.

hope the day is not far distant when
mothers will consider the real interest
OF their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums
which are destroying their loved ones,
by forcing opium, morphine, soothing
syrup and other hurtful agents down
their Threats, thereby sending them to
premature graves"

A Close CALL While E. r. Nc
Gugin was perusing the columns of a
paper on the northbound Sunday
train, when at Humphrey 5 crossing,
a bullet came crashing through the
window about 3 inches above his
head and imbcdded itself in seat
just across from him, within 10
inches OF Conductor Kennedy's wife.
Who fired the shot it is hard to tell,
but the Railroad authorities should
at once ferret out the miscreant.
Two men were seen standing near
the crossing at the time the ballet
went crashing through the window
who probably know something OF
the affair." auensrood .Ncrs. =;

heretofore has only given them
arms, but hereafter they will be

The State of Arkansas chimes in
with West Virginia in the adoption
ofthe Australian ballot system, max
ing seventeen states in all which
have made a stand for ballot reform.
This is an encouraging progress in
the movement for reform in the vot-
ing systems of the country. 1t is a
matter of regret, however, that the
three States most in need of a pure
ballot-Maine. Pennsylvania and
Ohio-have done no hing so far in
that direction, and it is probably
because of the ascendency of the
corrupting element in these States
that no laws have been enacted for
the purpose of purifying the ballot
box and Furnishing the boodlers who
have devoted their efforts in recent
years to making the elections i'm
them mere farce. But there is hope
yet for these unfortunate states.
Where the necessity for reform is SO
great they can not stand o.t long
against it.-Kdnduhd Gazette.

Pathetic speech.

A vain attempt has been made by
party newspapers TO prove that tho
farmers of the West are enjoying a
very picnic of prosperity under the
benetiecnt high tariff regime.
But this is the kind ofstory which
Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, told to a
Washington audience. She said:-
Twenty five years ago the women
came from the east TO this land.
They came with roses in their cheeks
and ERE of hope in their hearts.
Leaving behind them all that was
near and dear, they turned their
faces toward the new and untried
West. Here We endured loneliness
and privations. Children were born
to us end our babies lie buried be-
meath the sods of the wild prairies.
To-day we are being robbed of our
homes by the infamous system of
mortgage foreclosures. As mary as
five hundred families have been
turned out in u week. We are evict-
ed from homes that represent the
toll of the best years of our lives.
Do you wonder that we join the
Farmers Alliance and the knights
of Labor? / wonder how any moth
er in Kansas can stay out. In them
we have the greatest promise made
since John the Baptist heralded the
coming of One who should relieve
the world of its misery.
There must be some mistake about
this. We have the word of Repub-
lican bosses that this country was
never in such a contented condition
as now, and they ask for !, new lease
of power in order to insure tho per.
manency of the peoples happiness.
