VIII any patriotic man, with a soul above
craftsmanship, say that this sum was in ex-
cess of our urgent national needs? OF
this $i4, Ooo. 900 s1l, 10000 was for the COM
pIetion of ships previously authorized by
the Democratic congress. There was an
increase, including deficiencies. Of $751;
654, $40 in appropriations for pensions.
VIII the Democracy stop the work Of
creating a suitable navy and make big
cut in the pension appropriations that
will force veterans and the widows and
Orphans of veterans TO economic? There
was an increase of s12. ass, 343 in the appro-
pri&tion for the postoffice department, but
it was all nearly made up by increased
revenue. The appropriation of 5000, 900
for the harbor of Galveston, Tex, and the
increase of expenditures on the Missis-
sippi river caused an increase of 81, 735 ,6l9
in the river and harbor bill.
Does anybody imagine that the next
Democratic congress will cut down the APP
preparations for Southern rivers and har-
bors? No; they will prefer to cut down
the pension appropriations and force the
Northern veteran to reduce expenses"
and will refuse to make adequate appro-
priation for the improvement of the
Columbia river and for the fortifi-
cation Of the mouth of the Colum-
bia, of San Francisco and Of Puget sound.
There was an increase of $1,000 900 in the
appropriation for the fertilization Of our
defenseless sea coast, and this the Democ-
racy will probably cut off. The $1,000, 600
increase in the Indian appropriations
went TO pay for IL, 000, 900 acres of land
opened TO settlement and sold at $125 an
acre. This really cost the government
nothing, and will not have to be made
again. The SIS, 727 600 direct tax appro-
priation; the So 100000 for the new census,
and the 81, 900 90 for nickel for the navy
department, were all new appro-
priations. That makes a total Of
S29, 000. 600, and with no call for
new appropriations, it Is absolutely
all that can be fairly saved by the next
congress. Any reduction beyond this will
be simply renewal of the old Democratic
trick of cutting down appropriations to
the point of departmental inefficiency,
and renewing the demagogue practice of
Starving the government" to force party
record for economy"
The proposed Tammany governors re-
duction of $lOo,000,000 in the appropria-
tions is otherwise impracticable.

THAT "BILIIoN CONGRESS-

Governor-elect Flower. of New YORK,
says that the next congress can make the
most capital for the Democracy by cutting
down the appropriations 500, 10000. That
is the old Democratic trick TO manufacture
record for economy" by stopping pub
lie Improvements and works OF national
defense, or by starving the government"
which is Holman Of Indiana's patent
process for making party capital
When Cleveland became president it
was asserted thst the force III the depart
ments could Re reduced one-third without
impairjng their efficiency. The House
acted on this supposition and every de-
partment Of the government was crippled
for lack NJ sufficient appropriation. Mr..
Cleveland's administration then dropped

general increase Of appropriations.

partmeut. from The White House down.
than was employed at the close of the
Arthur administration. There has been
no increase since save n the pension office,
census bureau, and in the agricultural de-
partment, which the Democratic House
enlarged and transformed into an execu-
tive department
The 'bil.ion congress" cry is mere cam

CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

Several proposed amendments to the
charter have passed the two houses of the
CITY council with the full understanding
that they may receive the disapproval of
members when they come up for the final
vote. 1t may be found upon second
thought, for instance, that some of the
provisions as to the mode of assessment
for special improvements are correct in
principle but need modifying in the pro-
cess of application.
The same may be said of the PROPOSE ton
to either increase the salary of the corpor-
alton counsel or decrease the term of serv-
ice essential TO eligibility 1t is very gem
orally conceded that $1,000 is not sufficient
salary to tempt an able lawyer after seven
years practice before the supreme court
The question is one which should re-
ceive very careful consideration, and the
city council, which is not now making a
charter, but only preparing suggestions,
might with perfect consistency put
before the people at this stage
alternative amendments: one that the sal
airy he increased; another that the term of
preliminary practice be shortened. When
the matter comes mp before them for fin al
action they can then select either or de-
eide against both. There is something
more involved in this than in most offices.
The city council will act far more nearly
in harmony with the spirit of the charter if
1t allows these questions to he talked over
by the people than if it summarily shuts
off discussion.
Ii should never be forgotten in these de-
alterations that there need be no election
if the city council is TO draw the line too
tightly and determine for itself " hat the
,nennln y.

DerlnrlfN
Republfcan

Total -.. 2jf Total ,,..........l 69
This leaves the following named states from
which the Republicans must get nineteen elec-
toral votes OF the Democrats afty-iour in order
20 win:
New York ..........36 Indiana .......15
michigan -.......... Il Connecticut. 8
Under the recent law in Michigan providing
for the choice OF electors by districts the vote
OF that state will be divided, but II is practically
conceded that ten OF the fourteen electors will
be Republicans.
With these the Republican column
would still be nine short. Indiana would
be sufficient without either New York or
Connecticut. The Democrats must have
New York, Indiana and at least three
votes from Michigan or Connecticut IN
order to get a majority. New York is
therefore not essential to Republican sue
cess. If we can carry either New York
or Indiana we are morally certain to win,
for the best Democratic estimates do not
include any apparently certain Repub-
lican states like Massachusetts, or Iowa,
and the shrewdest Democratic journals
point out that the party cannot expect to
carry any Northern states except New
Jersey, New York, Connecticut and In
diana, and that it must carry all these and
all the Southern states TO win.
The November elections show that the
Democrats have lost nearly all the ground
they gained in 1880. They have lost their
grip on Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska and the
Dakotas; they saved Iowa by the vote of
anti-prohibition Republicans; the per-
sonal popularity of Governor Russell
saved him, the sole survivor of his state
ticket, in Massachusetts,. The Farmers
Alliance is dead in the Republican states
of the West, and will be only stumbling
to and fro 'to save funeral expenses" in
1892. The loss of Connecticut or West
Virginia by the Democrats would lose
them the battle. In case Cleveland is
nominated he will be opposed in North
Carolina by President Polk, and in Vir-
ginia and West Virginia by the Farmers
Alliance, which still survives in those
parts. Heretofore both New York and
Indiana have been necessary to Repub-
lican success, but If we carry either of
these states in 1892 we shall win. The
Democrats have determined to put free
coinage of silver to the rear, and push the
tariff issue to the front, and the task before
them is to carry four Northern states
York and Indiana voted in favor of pro-
lection, while Connecticut gave Cleveland
a plurality of only 1886.

The New York San, DEM, bluntly tells
its party that it cannot carry New York in
1S92 on the Mills platform of absolute
free trade, an income tax and Cleveland
at any cost" and commends to the
party's consideration the warning admoni-
ton: at is better to be safe than to be
sorry" The Sun further warns the De-
mocracy that the Republicans of the En-
pire state viii be united in 1897, and re-
minds them that even the tremendous
uprising against Judge Folger in 1882
would have been followed by the election
of a Republican president in 1854 had not
an accident interviewed"

THANKSGIVING PREPARATIONS.

AS the woods along November's hills age gently

Which veils the Indian summer in the fading
autumn days,
And the good year fingers softly, ore his locks
are crowned with gray,
To hear the harvest blessings of a nation by the
way,
There 5 air of invitation in the woods and
fields and skies
To get ready for Thanksgiving and its famous
pumpkin pies
The president and governor have issued each his
call
To the people of this prosperous land to honor,
The season when the barns are full. the granar-
les well stored,
When the farmers and the city folk all count
fattened horde,
Aud the housewife, town and country, with
Thanksgiving in her eyes,
Begins TO think OF turkey and old-fashioned
pumpkin pies
If 1t be true that there are some who think
they've naught to bless,
Who eat of sorrows crust and feel no cause for
thaukfuluess,
Whose purse is never filed at all, whose board
is always bare
Why, there must be sympathy for them, too,
in the air,
And thankful twice will be those hearts where
PHYS fountains rise
And flow to help poor neighbors to Thanksgiv-
Ing pumpkin pies
The quail is calling buthely through the even

And the long roll of the pheasants drum beats
family DER the hill;
The cheerful cider-rniIl creaks out its own mel

And the chorus of Thanksgiving swells from
multitudes OF throats:
Which is why its just well for those who are
good as well As wise
To think OF folks who otherwise won't have
their pumpkin pies.

Uypnotism IS likely, in the opinion
Of the New York Mil md Erpress, to play
an important part in the homicidai
traocdics III the near future. The in.
cyitable plea Of insanity is in bad odor
ald Aas lost its effect with the average
Ggy. IIypnotism combines the clements
ol novelty and mystery and has the ad-
vantage Of cxoncrating the hypnotic in
guumeut Of crime on the ground OF
responsibility when under the dominat
iBg influence Of superior will, while 1t
leaves the subject entirely rational and
responsible when not in the hypnotic
state. This plea is destincd to complicate
our criminal jurisprudence, and involve
the administration Of justice in most
serious difficulties. If the hypnotized
agents Of crime are Irresponsible, and at
the same time are perfectly rational and
honorable, the only parties VINO can be
held for euch crimes are those who use
for criminal purposes this uncanny
power. DR. Licgeois, professor Of tho
medical college Of Nancy, testified in the
trial of the Paris strangers, to the effect
that. not only was Gabrielle Bompard, +,
the famous acc0mplicc, an unconscious
accessory OF the crime committed, but
