The House of Representatives origi-
mates all appropriation bills, and as these
figures show the exact size at which the
bills left the House there seems to be no
satisfactory explanation which will ex-
cuse the big Democratic majority.
The Democracy have made two mis-
takes in playing their economy role. They
have criticised the last House of Repre-
sentatives unjustly and uncandidly, SO
that they leave themselves in bad light
when making appropriations that are
necessary and right. And they have
failed to prevent their representatives. in
Congress going into schemes like the riv-
Ell and harbor bill, for the sake of getting
work for their own districts.

That which is spent for liquor cannot be spent for things produced by honest labor. Our nation spends annually for intoxicants The enormous sum of Sl ,lOO,- 100000. Tha civil WsT debt was about s2. 500, ,ik0,00O. In less than three years we spend as much for liquor as that debt amounts to. During the presidential canvass the tariff will be discussed in ey- ery nook and corner of the nation. But the customs collected from all our im- ports will not exceed s500,O00. 900. There fore tle surpassing importance Of the question 0f IBtemperance. It is the ene- my of our race. the despoller of our homes. It destroys our old men, leads astray our boys, makes vagrants of our daughters. brings down the frown of a just God on our nation, and raises noth- ing but the will of Satan done on earth, harder times and higher taxes.
 In conclusion 1 can do nothing better than to add these lines by Rev. F.. A. Tuck of New Jersey.

TIE Forum for August contains an article from the pen of Richard H. Edmunds, of Baltimore, on the resources of the new south. His figures are a revelation, for few peo- pie have any adequate conception oi the wonderful progress in this sec, tion during recent years.
 The south produced 535,942, COG bushels of corn in 1891, a gain of 75 per cent. over the production in 1881. The gain in cotton produc- tion was about the same, from j. 456. GOO bales in 1881 to nearly g. GOO, GOO bales last year. The gain in railroads is even more remarkable, Ten years ago the south had 23,00C miles of railroad; now it has 45,000 gain of nearly 90 per cent, and the increase in the number of pas sengers and amount of freight car ried has been enormous. Between 23,000.000 and z4.000,000 tons of coal was mined in the south in 1891, only about 6.000,0 900 in 1881. The value of exports from southern ports have increased from S257. 535, ,40l to S319, sol ,999, again of about 36 per cent, which is nearly five times tho gain at other ports of the United States, The southern output of iron is nearly 325 per cent greater than 1880. The gain in manufacturing and all branches of business has been great. The assessed value oi property is nearly two billions great CT than in 1881.

Please explain why they arc calling on the negroes to help them, when they are not all lowed vote until they register, and that time is past.
 Again he says our grievances and 1 wrongs may be set alright by re- maining in the Democratic fold. When they had control of both houses in 1878 why did they not of fer some relief by enacting good and wholesome laws and submitting them to Republican president for his approvals Oh, no. they were too busy monkeying' with the Re pnblieans for policys sake. Why has not the present Congress at tempted to repeal the Mckinley acts Still too busy .'monkeying.
 Again he says, Remember that history repeats itself, and no third party ever succeeded Please tell us where the Democratic party orig mated. is ii not a third party, or IS { it party foreordained and pre-des ! tined from before the foundation of Ithe world
 Again he seyssss With Cleveland for President and Fishback for Gov ernor, you will be prosperous and happy. Yes, with Cleveland to rec ommend the characterization of sil- ver. and Fishback 10 vote for seces- sion and then raise regiment of Federal troops to murder the very same men he voted out of the Union, I suppose all things would work to- gcther for the good of them that love and serve the Democratic party

It must not be forgotten, that, al the approaching election, the ques- ton of liquor license is to be voted upon, remarks the Searcy Beacon
 Certainly it ought not to require any argument or persuasion to keep this county in the line of good morals
 temperance and education; yet some men advance the opinion, that, be cause the disgraceful jug trade, and the abominable "blind tigers that occasionally make their presence felt, we had better have license and be done with it. Though the at tempt to suppress the illicit sale oi whiskey is often futile and costly
 it is not more so than the attempt under license to suppress the sale to minors, on sunday, gaming and other attendant vices. Men will dc wrong and violate law, whether act ing under license, or where it is withheld. The sale of whiskey and its abusive use are not all the evils encountered under license of the traffic. The saloon is made semi respectable by reason of its protec- tion by the law, and it becomes a place of allurement to the young, de bauehery to the old, and blot upon any civilized community. Where the blind tigers have their scores oi evils, saloons have their hundreds, and no lover of the quiet home, nor al society or civilized government
 or follower of the meek and lowly Savior, should hesitate for moment to cast his vote against license"

Origin of the White Caps.
[St. Louis Globe Democrat


81 suppose there are fewer people in this
country who know the origin of the term
white Caps than there are those who have
fallen under the ban of tho scoundrels in
Indiana and other Western States" said Hiram
Berry. of New York, at the Southern. 1.-THE
term did not originate in this country, but its
origin dates back nearly century to County
Kerry, Ireland. Nearly 100 years ago, when
Ireland was more populous than at present,
when the people were so harassed by British
msrule, there lived in County Kerry large
and influential family named Whitecap who,
whenever any of their neighbors became too
obstreperous or immoral, waited on them in
the night, took them from their houses, and
gave them sound thrashing with a cat-o o. nine
tails as a warming to desist from their wrong
doing and evil practices Similar clans were
formed in other sections of Ireland, all of whom
were called Whitecaps, not White Caps. two
words, as they are written in this country
The popular impression is that the appelIation
come from the form and color of the head dress
that the Indiana regulators wear when perpe-
trating one of their outrages, but this is mis-
take, as the history of the movement proves
The Whitecaps in Ireland were terror to evil
doers and were of value to the good order of
the society of their day, but don't know that
there is need for them in any part of America"
