Ex-senator John B. Henderson.
st. Louis, who-was permanent Pres.
ident Of the Republican National
Convention of 1884, says of the late
Congress GAS Republican, l
think the extravaganza of the Con-
gress just adjourned, was an outrage
upon the party and the people.
However, the appropriation may be
justified, the fact that they reached
$1,000, 100000 is of itself appalling.
No such enormity of appropriations
has been voted since the war, and
occurring in "a time of profound
peace as this is, and when the great>
est economy was demanded, no ex-
cuse can be offered for the extrava-
gance. The Republicans in Con-
gress must have proceeded upon the
theory that they were not coming
into power again for about 400
years."

The Farmers Alliance and tho

The Farmers Alliance and the
lutte bagging trust have made peace.
The proposition of the Cordage Bag
ging Company to supply bagging at
81 cents per yard for II pounds; 81
cents for Il pounds; a cents for 2
pounds, and e cents for . pounds,
has been accepted. These are max
imum prices and competition may
reduce them.
1t is thought that this means the
sale in advance of bagging Cor at
least half OF the cotton crop.
Heretofore the farmers have obey
ed the Alliance, although it caused
them to buy bagging at over 81 per
bale extra cost. Now that the price
of jute bagging is reduced the ALI
ancemen will adopt it.
The Cordage Comp any represents
all but one of the jute bagging fac
tories in the trust two years ago.
The factory left out is said to be To-
Gated at Charleston.
The action OF the Alliance leaves
the farmers free to buy cotton lag
ging it they prefer, but as jute is
cheaper few OF them, it is believed,
will buy cotton bagging.

These ronclads carry hundred ton
guns, and could lie at sea nine miles

stroy that city in very short time.
Our navy is not as good as Italy's,
but Uncle Sam is very resourceful,

The farmer who held his cotton
this season was engaged in a money
losing business. Hundreds of bales
are being put on the market at Quit
man now at Z and 8 cents, which
could have been sold last fall at 9

SIS bale, besides storage. insur-
ance and other expenses of holding.
In addition to this, numbers of farm
ers, who were holding cotton, had
unpaid store accounts and the mer-
chants were kept out of their money
for several months. 1t was a bad
business for both farmer and mer>

Condition OF the Weston Bank.
Weston DsU.0cydt.


Knowing that a number Of our patrons
are depositors in the National Exchange
Bank of Weston, many Of whom are liv-
ing at distance, we feel that it is our
duty to say something in regard TO the
rumors that have beer in circulation
concerning its condition and its solvency.
The Democrat, believing that in view OF
the business failures which have re-
suited from over drafts, occasioned by a
neglect of the banks books, that other
patrons might feel alarmed as to the
safety of their deposits, it did not hest
tate to make particular inquiry and OBJ
tain all possible information that it
might be fully advised and prepared to
speak from authority and from the
most reliable source upon the
question which concerns so many
OF it's friends and subscribers. This
bank, which has heretofore borne the
reputation for perfect solvency and con-
Quoted it's affairs without the slightest
suspicion as to its business standing, is
just as safe to-day for depositors, so far
as its ability to pay is concerned, as at
any time within it's past history. II
you have not yourself overdrawn your
deposits your money is secure and SUBJ
ject to your disposal. Mr.. Durbin, the
new cashier, has assumed charge and a
number of experienced accountants are
at work upon the books and it is ex-
pected that in short time they will be
prepared to furnish every depositor
with full statement of his account.
To say that the banks financial stand
ing is in doubt is to absurd too admit Of
of question. 1t has sufficient funds to
meet every obligation and ample credit
for any contingency.

cOUNCIL AND LICENSES.

Wheeling has rid herself of the old
and corrupt regime in the police de-
partment and now, Of course, reform
Is expected. But it must be borne In
mind that Council, as we'll as the CHER
OF Police, has very grave response
bility in the matter. The Chief can
not saw no where Council has said yes.
This is particularly true in the mat
ter Of license. Concerns will APP
ply for license which undoubtedly pro-
pose TO openly violate the law. In such
cases Council has but one honest course
10 pursue. The law forbids it granting
license 10 any person of questionable
character, and it cannot grant such a
license without handicapping the CHIEF
OF Police and putting a club into the
hands Of the enemies Of law and order,
who will watch every chance to trap
the new Chief, as they did his predeces-
sor.
There is nothing in which Council
should be more careful and strict than
in the matter Of granting licenses, and
there is probably nothing in which In
the past it has been so lax.
Now that it has elected anew Chief OF
Police it ought to do it's part in the pre-
servation Of law aud order, and see that
law breakers are not given city warrant
10 do business.

ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs are un
approachable in curative properties,
rapidity and safety of action, and are
the only reliable plasters ever produced.
They have successfully stood the test OF
over thirty years use By the public;
their virtues have never been equalled
by the INSCRIPTIONS imitators who have
sought to trade upon the reputation OF
ALLcocK's by making plasters with
holes in them, and claiming them to be
"just as good as ALLcooK's," and they
stand to-day Endorsed by not only the
highest medical authorities, but by mil
lions of grateful patients who have
proved their efficacy as a household
remedy,
Beware of limitations, and do not be
deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for
ALLcocK's, and let no solicitation or
explanation induce you to accept sub
stitute.

GRIP WEATHER.

If general indications go for any
thing, there is grip in every mOuthful
OF this weather IL is not the ordinary
and familiar fog, which often causes
you TO unintentionaLy slight your &C
quaintances on the other side Of the
street, and wonder whether the city
still exists behind the fog half a
square away. The old time fog has
nothing more dangerous concealed in
its white depths than general damp
ness, moiStened whiskerS aud may be a
plain ordinary cold if you are care
less. But this atmosphere, while quite
as opaque is not of that harmless
nature.
IL will be noticed that there
is twice rs much smoke as fog
in It's composition. 1t As not
rising vapor, but uncomfortable, nasty
and dangerous falling weather, which
holds down to earth everything that
ought to rise above the housetops and
kindly consent 20 be diSsipated by the
sun or blown away. The sun has no
power over fog such as held Wheel

vaporize what fifth there was lying
around loose, and to hold it ana the

While its most dissgreeable feature to
the superficial obseryerand sufferer was

that was really its only redeeming feat

Now is the time to take precaution,

careful and temperate In your habits

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

The person who frets and snarls over
the approach Of Christmas and the
necessity" Of ''giving something" TO
this or that friend or relative, had best
button-up his pocketbook and resolve
to make no present at all, for he does
not understand the true. underlying
principle of the Christmas gift.
Don't make a present because you
think you fought to-" and, above all,
don't make one in the expectation Oh
getting one in return, which is a mere
swapping of presents, whose value Is
Hkelyto be carefully gagged accordingly
1t is preposterous to suppose that al
lection accompanies such gifts, or those
which are made from a false sense OF
obligation. They are not only as
tress to the pocket-boo but are a degra-
dation Of the beautiful custom OF the day.
Make no Christmas gift that does not
carry the affection OF the heart with IT,
The other kind blesses neither him that
gives nor him that receives.

"Worth a Guinea a Box"
From Fame, a London Newspaper.


Mr.. S., chemist of Liverpool,
received bill for the amount OF 2Ss.
from Thomas Beecham, st. Helena.
Mr.. -, being at the time in pecuniary
difficulties, pondered for a consider
able time how to meet the demand. AT
last bright idea flashed across his
mind, and he said joyfully:
Yes, will send Beecham a box OF
his own pills-he says himself they are
worth a guinea a boX-and seven shill-
ings in cash."
This he did. In the course OF few
days great was the surprise of Mr.. S
10 find that Beecham had forwarded the
receipt attached to which were these
words, l"Cash only in future. Thomas
BeeCham."
In the United States Beecham'S Pills
are also advertised as universally ac-
knowledged to be worth guinea a
box"-but that they are for sale by all
druggists at 20 cents.
Beecham evidently thinks it best to
hedge against such bright fellows as
the Liverpool druggist turning up on
this side of the water.
