This session OF congress is drawing to
close, and notwithstanding the many mil
lions Of dollars that have been appropriated
for deficiencies unprovided for by the last
congress, known as the billion dollar con-
gress. it. is now pretty safe to state that the
total Of the appropriations will be fully
g., 100000 less than the total Of the appro-
priations for the first session Of the last
congress- This result has been brought
about by the most rigid economy. The
democratic House has Topped Off expenses
wherever it was possible to do so, showing
that the promise Of economy made by the
Democratic party has been faithfully kept
When Mr.. Cleveland left the white house
there was an immense surplus ia the treas
ury and the revenues exceeded the ex-
penditures by many millions of dollars an
nuelly. During the first two years Of Gen.
Harrison's administr alton, with a republican
Senate and a republican House, the surplus
was used up and the expenditures 80 in-
creased as to raise serious doubt whether
they would not exceed the revenues.
The democratic House has inaugurated
reform, and II the people will give that
party the power it will so economic, with
out Gripping the public service, that it will
be possible to lift some Of the burden from
the people which the tariff taxes
impose upon them. II those democrats who
have gone into the Peoples party will con.
slider carefully what the Democratic party
has done and what it purposes to do, they
will not only find no excuse for the exist
ence of the Peoples party, but will be glad
to return to the Democratic party and
strengthen it for its grand work.
"The determination OF the Peoples party
leaders to place separate electoral tickets In
the field in the southern states" says the
New York Mail and Express, should
arouse republican campaign managers to
the opportunity for capturing some Harri-
son votes this fall from the other side of the
Mason and Dixon line. Arkansas and Geor-
Cia now have third party tickets in the field;
so, too, will South and North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Tennessee. All of
these states are promising ground for re-
publican missionary work, and we feel con-
fldent that good results would follow a
vigorous and aggressive campaign in eacn
of them. The third party leaders are to
place their best orators on the stump in the
south Why not send republican speakers
there also, and let the southern people hear
the true doctrine OF repnb licanism and
popular rights from republican representa-
tivesl Why not try it," An
excellent ideal By all means lot the re-
publican campaign managers take advan-
tage Of the opportunity. The advent OF
patriots for-pay" republican orators in the
south as assistants to the Peoples party
cause would do the regular democracy an
immense amount OF good, and in November
such democratto majorities would be rolled
up as have not been seen since '75 aud rs.
The negotiations concerning the trans
atlantic steamship City Of New York and
City Of Paris, which have for some months
been pending, were completed on Monday,
aud the ships have been released by the
British government. They will now be
given American regi { ~, ship American
crews and fly the American flag. The order
for two new ships of equal tonnage and
speed with the City of Paris will be given
to the Cramps, OF Philadelphia, it is thought,
aud in the near future the stars and stripes
will float over four as fine and fast ships as
pillow the ocean.
