growing out of the refund Of the direct
tax. This is another expenditure made
necessary by the treason of the men who
/ lead in the denunciation of this measure.
The direct tax was levied in 1861 to de-
fray the expenses of the war then i'm
pending. Some of the States paid the
money and some did not. Either the
balance due should be collected, or the
amounts collected should be refunded.
As the Government does not need the
money, in the interest of justice it is to
be refunded. Democrats and Republi-
cans alike voted for this measure, and it
was honest legislation. Another large
item grows out of the increase in the ap-
preparation for the new navy. A number
of new vessels were authorized early in
.ha Cleveland administration, but there
was long deiny in letting the contracts.
Under a more efficient management OF
the department those vessels are now
nearly all completed, and those author
lied under the present administration
are also well advanced. This makes
necessary a much larger appropriation to
meet the contracts. But that is to be
set down to the credit OF an efficient ad-
ministration of the department. The
shameful neglect of the Democrats in
Congress to provide the country with
any means Of defense in case Of war is
well known. The country was without
Notifications, and without guns to man
them or means of manufacturing the
guns. This neglect has been in part
remedied by Republican Congress, but
it increased the appropriations. For
hundred years Congress has neglected to
pay the just claims growing out of the
destruction or capture OF American ves-
sells by the French because OF the neg
lect to observe treaty with France. :
These claims were referred by Demo-
cratic Congress to the courts and judg-
ments were obtained. An appropriation
has been made to pay those judgments,
notwithstanding the refusal of the Dem
ocrats when in power to make the appro-
priation. Through agreement with the
Indians many millions of acres of land
are to be opened to settlement. 1t re-
quircd an appropriation of several mil
lions of dollars to carry out those treaties.
But it was money well expended. The
Nation has been growing rapidly. While
Democratic Congress refused to pro-
vide for the increased business in the
courts and in other ways, Republican
Congress has had the courage to provide
for the just requirements and to pay the
honest debts Of the Nation. The appro-
priations have been increased some in
consequence; not to the extent the Dem
ocrats try to make out, but they have
been increased. Do the people object to
such honest and just legislation? The
Press does not believe it will meet
otherwise than with public approval

We have had for some years treaty e.

lands, and the result has been most sat
isfactory. Previous to this treaty our
trade with those islands was practically
nothing, now 80 per cent. of the trade
is with this country, and 72h per cent.
of it is carried in American vessels. As
the trade of the islands amounts to
about s2o,0o0,00O in year it has been
of great value to the United States. Yet

Fifty-flrst Congress.

The country may be expected to hear
a great deal from Democratic newspapers
in the next few months about the extrav-
asance of tho Fitty-irst Congress. For
midable tables are already IN circulation
showing startling increase in the ag
gregate of the appropriations. 1t is true
that the old cheese pairing policy by
which the growth and development of
the country was retarded did not rule in
the Fifty first Congress. But the coun-
try may well be thankful for the fact.
Wherever there has been an increase in
the appropriations it has been for just
purpose or to redeem the honor of the
Nation. The largest item in the increase
is for pensions Do the patriotic people
of the Nation object to a tax for the care
of the old veterans who saved the Union?
The men who raise this outcry against
the pension policy of the Republican
party are the men who sought to destroy
the Nation. Their treason made this ex-
penditure necessary, and the Republican
party will not finch in its duty to the
veterans now because of the outcry
against increased appropriations. The
next largest item in the increase is that

was q gallant fight. n of the
best that has been seen on the
Athletic Clubs alleys. The visiting
team had the lead from the start.
At the third frame they had a
majority of fifty-one pins. The con-
viction of the large aud spirited au-
tlience was that the Jersey boys would be
beaten. In the fourth frame the home team
began to get on the pins and gained 81
points. The Manhattans fought hard to
maintain their advantage n the fourth
frame ended with the Jersey team 80
points behind. The Manhattans gained 9
in the sixth aud the seventh closed with
their majority at 80 pins. Then the Jer-
sey City Boys rallied. They gained rs in
the eight and ~ in the ninth. The ex-
element was intense. The home team
made a grand flush and won by five
pins.
The second game was not as interest
ing. The Manhattans had the lead at the
end of the first frame, but 1t was the only
time that they enjoyed that distinction.
The Jersey boys went to the fore in the
second frame, and steadily moved away
from their rivals. They won by fifty
