my advantage to be on time if possible.

dismal, far-reaching shore in the most
weird cadences imaginable. Picture
to yourself the situation. There was

every moment that the wolves would

my horse, with one tremendous effort
raised his front feet above water and
planted them firmly in the solid ice, at
which juncture the broken cake of ice

to buoy up the horses hind parts to
such an extent that he was enabled to
completely eXtricate himself-cutter,
driver and all landing safely on the
solid ice beyond the opening, and that,
too, without anything breaking either
about the harness or cutter. 1t was
all done in moment or two-so quick

more like a dream to me than a stern
reality. To this day it is profound
mystery to me how a horse could re-
cover himself as mine did then after
having broken through into water OF
frightful depth. Yet the circumstance
is as true as it is marvellous

They did pass river and harbor bills; they
also passed pension bills, only to encounter
the sharp vetoes of President Cleveland.
Yet this is the party, with this record fresh
in our memory, that asks to be restored to
power. The basis of Its hope rests upon
Republican defeat In the congressional cleo
tons two years ago. 1t must be admitted
that the disaster, two years ago, to our
party, was sweeping and not confined to any
section of our country. A survey of the
causes that led to it rests mainly upon two
things, first, the cry against the appropria-
tons made by the Fifty-frst congress; sec
ond, the cry against the tariff revision of
1890, and collateral questions clustering
around these two. "The billion dollar con-
gress" became the Shibboleth Of our oppo-
nents, as votaries of reform. The Demo-
Gratis everywhere proclaimed that If they
could secure a majority in the house, the
wasteful and prohigate appropriations Of
the Republican congress would be rebuked
and condemned by economies to be insti-
tuted in every department of the govern

by the tariff act of $780, With all these
payments, and with this reduction of rev.
enue such is the growth of our country and
its consuming power, that the revenue will
be fully equal to our expenditures for the
current year, and we are likely to have a
greater surplus on the LIST of July, 1893,
than we had on the LIST of July, 1892. The
total appropriations for this year are in
round numbers, exclusive of the sinking,
