Grabbing Everything in Sight.

The Republican party seeing, probably,
that its lease of power is almost at an end.
appears disposed to grab everything it can
get its hands on. Two curious stories have
appeared in dispatches from Washington
recently which show this disposition. One
of them is to the effect that a larger sum Of
money due the state OF Indiana has been
paid out on duplicated and raised vouchers,
some of the vouchers having been dupli-
Gated as often as four times. One voucher
for SIS 70 has been raised to IS, $40 and col
lected. If there are many such vouchers as
this it is not difficult to understand what
has become of the large surplus left by
the Cleveland administration.
Another story is that couple of Assistant
Secretaries Of the Treasury desired to ap-
point their sons as their private secretaries.
Secretary Foster declined to permit them TO
saddle their families upon the treasury.
Then they concocted another scheme Each
proposed to appoint the son of the other as
his private secretary. When this scheme
was proposed Secretary Foster lost his tenn
per and told the assistant secretaries that
they didn't give him credit for an average
amount of intelligence. And. strange as it
may appear, it is said that the assistant sec
retaries threatened to resign if their re-
quests were not acceded to.
Secretary Foster ought not to wait for
these men to resign. He ought to invite
them to go and tell. them they couldn't 60
too soon. However, he knows they are
typical republicans, and perhaps they will
succeed finally in getting places for their
offspring at the public crib.
Kansas attorneys who practice in the
| Twenty Fourth judicial district have so
much trouble with the obstreperous and
! ignorant Judge Mckay that they will instl-
tute proceedings to impeach him. But it is
not likely that he can be punished for any
thing before the present legislature. be-
cause it has a majority of those who are
most benefited by the illegal acts he has
committed. In fact. they seem disposed TO
regard him as a hero because he used the
machinery of the law entrusted TO his hands
to prevent people from collecting claims
which are not denied to be perfectly just.
Yet he assigns no reason for such conduct
other than that the debtor was favorable to
his election as judge. Should that sort OF
administration Of law become general all
foreign and a great deal Of local capital
will be driven out Of the state.
| Apparently there is not much profit In
the road agent business in Virginia. An
enterprising adventurer who recently went
through a Chesapeake and Ohio railway
sleeping coach shot one man and fed from
the others, but didn't get anything except
tho blankest variety Of disappointment.
! Clearly he was not very skillful and ex-
perienced high wayman, or he would never
have taken the trouble TO walk through a
sleeper after anything worth having after
the porters had been along there. II was
merely e waste Of time.

A Plain Truth.

No man has right to marry till, in
every human probability, assured that he
can support a family in his own station.
Mere love or improvident matches seldom
turn out well; poverty comes, and there
is 30 much self-reproach on either side
that gall is added to it's bitterness; their
tempers are soured, and they soon wish
themselves unmarried. But when trials
.assaiI an attached, reasonable pair, sor-
row unites them closer; the man, feeling
how much depends on him, never flags in
his exertion, and often RECEIVERS the lost
step, if not, there is still consolation in
his wife's unvarying love-in her sweet.
noiseless sacrifices In these uncertain
times there are few commercial men who
have not met with reverses, and they will
often say:
"Had it not been for those at home !
should have blown my brains out; I
could not have stood it."
Wife and children! They are beacon
to us in our troubled sea we renew the
struggle when ready to sink beneath the
wave, and at last are saved. At the worst,
when all is black--when friends are cool
or reproachful-whent the cruelegt doubts
assaif us-there is still one who respects
and loves US, at home we are still dear.

Evangelist D. L. Moody, in a sermon
delivered in Chicago on Sunday, sharply
criticises those who have craving for
titles. Among other things he said !:
"Moses might have stood at the head of
the army and been one of the great men
of Egypt, but he had turned his back
upon the gilded palaces forty years before
to obey the commands of God and aid
the despised Hebrews. He was not ready
for the great work until God had taken
him and kept him for forty years. A man
in the present day who wants to do any
thing must begin before he is forty years
old, but those times were different. When
God did call, it was just plain Moses.
He did not call him Lord Moses, or
Prince Moses, or the Hon. Moses or DR..
Moses. He called him by his true name,
the name given him by his parents. God
never gives titles to any of his workers.
Oh, how men like titles! There are many
who would do anything to get a title, to
be called general, or colonel, or major, or
to have the letters D. D. or LII. D. tackled
on the end of their names. There are
some ministers Of the gospel with Rev.
on one end and D. D. on the other end who
would rather be accused of impiety or
lack of faith In the glorious words of the
Lord than to be addressed without the
prefix or suffix. There are some men
who have big heads and little hearts, and
these are the men whom God cannot make
use Of"

LOWER TAXES.
Estimating the valuation of property for
taxation the same as it was last year, the
people Of Florida will, for the ensuing year.
pay $3.50, 600 less state taxes than they were
assessed for in 1890. This is very crafty
ing response to the general demand for
lower taxes. and the people and the excel :
lent democratic administration are to lie
congratulated upon this large reduction in
state taxes
Now, if the different counties will exert
themselves in the same direction, the tax.
payers of Florida will have additional cause
TO rejoice in the prospect of relief from high
taxes. The commissioners of Leon county
have already acted in this matter, and the
people of this county will next year pay
about $4,000 less taxes than they did for
1890 If the authorities in all the other
counties will reduce taxes in the same pro-
portion that Leon has, the amount Of taxes
demanded of the people for 1891 will be sew
eral hundred Thousand less than last wear
1t is to De hoped that the good work OF re-
trenchment will be inaugurated in every
county and zealously pushed forward till
the desired srelief is secured to the people.

the cure of rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, etc.
In 1868 l was attacked with bilious muse ular
rheumatism, and have been a martyr to it ever
since tried all medicines ever heard of, and
all the doctors in reach. but found only temper
airy relief; the pains we're so bad at times that
did not care whether lived or died. My diges-
tion became so impaired that everything l ate
disagreed with me- My wife also suffered so
intensely with dyspepsia that her life was bur
den to her; she would be confined to her bed for
weeks at the time; she also suffered greatly
from giddiness and loss Of sleep.
Some time in March was advised to take P.
P. P..and before we (my wife and y had finished
the second bottle of r P. P. our digestion be-
gan to improve. My pains subsidized so much
that have been able to work aud am feeling
like doing that haven't done before In num-
Der of years We will continue taking p P. P.
until we are entirely cured, and will cheerfully
recommend It to all suffering humanity. Yours
very respectfully J. 8. DUPR1SS.
