1he nfty-nrst congress passed
more and better Legislation than any
congress in many years; but the
democrats, by their press and public
speakers, have attempted to attach
opprobrium to its acts by naming it
"rhe Billion-dollar congress" The
total appropriations of the fifty. first
congress amounted to 100000
The total appropriations of the
fftieth congress which was demo-
cratic amounted to SSlS, 100000 and
as there was nothing to call for ex-
ira appropriations during the two
years of its existence, it is fair to
presume, from a democratic stand
point, that il requires Ssls,000,0O0
to pay the necessary and legitimate
expenses of the federal government
for two years.
: The appropriations of the last
republican congress amounted to
$l7o,O00,000 more than the appro-
priations of the last democratic con-
gress. OF the extra appropriations
made by the last republican congress,
$ll3,000,000 were appropriated for
increased pensions to old and feeble
Union soldiers of the civil war, or
to the widows and orphans of the
dead soldiers. Do the democrats
dare assail the pension legislation of
the last congress? Will the demo
cratic party pledge itself, by its plat
form, to repeal that legislation or re.
duce the pensions now paid
The next largest extra appropria-
ton was an increase of $22, 100000
for improved postal rervice. Do the
democrats oppose that appropriation?
If so, let them indict the republicans
for giving more efficient service III
distributing newspapers and letters
to the American people.
Fifteen millions extra were appro-
priated for war-ships and coast de-
fences. Does the democratic party
dare say it is a penny too much ?
Eight and half millions went to
the Indians to pay for the Oklahoma
and Sioux reservations which have
been opened for settlement. Do the
democrats dare 90 on record as OPP
posing it !?
The census cost 100000. Could
the democrats have done it for a cent
less?
Four and a half millions extra
were added to the river and harbor
bill. Do the democrats dare say
it should not have been done p?
The remaining extra million went
in small appropriations, any one of
which the democrats are invited TO
scrutinize and defied to criticise.
The spokesman for the democrat
party have not the courage to de-
nounce, specifically, single appro-
priation of the last congress. Do
they oppose the extra pension APP
preparation ? Republicans challenge
them thus to go on record. If they
dare oppose it in their platforms, by
their press, or on their stump, re-
publicans will gladly join issue with
them before the people. If the dem
ocrats have fault TO find with a
single appropriation of the fifty.6rst
congress let them speak officially
and to the point; if not LET them for
ever hold their peace.-Grand Rapids

FAITH AND SCIENCE.

They dwelt apart, that radiant pair;
In different garbs appear;
And while the VOWS Of men they share
Have separate affairs here.
A golden lamp the one displays,
or light still clear and keen;
The other walks meath starry rays.
With sometimes clouds between.
The voice Of one enJoins the wise,
To mete, and weigh, and prove;
The other lifts expectant eyes,
And inly murmurs, Love!
Both teachers OF celestial birth,
To each be credsnce given,
To Science that interprets Earth.
To Faith the seer Of Heaven.

Washington Letter
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
n nnp 1ct 1901


WASHINGTON D. c., Dec. 1st, 1891.
Although this is the last week of the
Speakersh,p campaign there is just as
much doubt as ever rs to who Is to be
Speaker of the House. Each one of
the five active can,lidates--there are a
number of dark horses-wiil tell you
that he is confident Of being the man,
and that conf lpnCe IS reiterated by
each and every one of the friends Of
each candidate. Four Of them arc dead
wrong in their calculations, and maybe
ali FIVE are, as it would create no great
surprise If, in case Of Il protracted fight
in the caucus, all Of them were dropped
anl some man like Wilson Of West NIr-
2inia, nominated.
The silver question is giving the dem
ocrats as much trouble as the Speaker.
ship. The free coinage democrats, un,
der the lead of Bland, of silver dollar
fame, are on the rampage, and it is said
that fearing that they may get lett IN
the nomination Of Speaker they will
Introduce the resolution in the caucus
before the balIotirg commences pledg.
INC the House to pass a free coinage
m, - No Z OF hars NJ tha
rartv do not want done. If such a res
olnt1on comes up n the caucus it will
certainly be carried by a decisive ma
ioritv. While there are lots OF demo
c1ats who are feliectly willing to haye
the silver question let alone tor awhile
there are few who will dare to vote
against such resolution if it is brought
up IN caucus.
If President Harrison signs The treaty
now in his possession and the Senate
ratifes it, the United States VIII have
absolute free trade with one country and
that country will haye the same with
us. The country is Hawaii, which has
had representative here for some time
engaged in the negotiation of this
treaty. Probably this negotiation has
been the foundation upon which the
numerous stories about the annexation
Of Hawai- have been built The rati-
fcation of this treaty would, as far as
commerce Is concerned, put Hawaii OH
precisely tue same footing as amy State
in the Union.
President Harrison has about COM
pleted his message to Congress, being
now engaged in revising and polishing
it up with the able editorial assistance
of private Secretary lIalford whose long
experience as a managing editor makes
him a valuable assistant. 1t has been
