We hear good deal about what
the Democrats in the Fifty-second
House did at the recent session, and
a good deal about what they failed
to do.
There is one thing they did not.
They did not pass or try to pass a
Force bill.
That is the great and browning
glory of the Democrats of the Fifty
second Congress. 1t will outlast the
memory of all other achievements
and omissions, and will commend it's
members everywhere for reelection.
They stood by the Constitution
Questions of taxation and currency,
arguments over matters of policy,
differences of opinion about appro-
priations, and divergence of views
about parliamentary rules, shrink
into unimportance when compared
with the supreme issue: Defence
of the liberties of the people and
their right to choose their own pub
lie servants unyexed by Federal
interference, the restraining orders
of partisan courts, or the supervision
of life tenure mercenaries in the en-
ploy of the Republican party.
They passed no Force bill. The
people, remembering this will elect
another Democratic House of Rep
resentatives three months hence
N. Y. Sun.

Get ready to visit Chicago next
year You may think now that you
cannot afford to go, that you don't
want to go and all that, but get
ready, you will go nevertheless
Rates to the Worlds Fair will be so
cheap before next October year
that almost any one may go. The
Mail and Express of New York has
come forward with suggestions
whereby workingmen are to go from
New York to Chicago during the
Fair for only 81 railroad fare. If
the suggestions of that paper be
carried ont in regard to the work
ingmen it is safe to say that the
rates for other passengers will be
very low. 1t is estimated that 90
600, 900 people at least will visit the
Fair and you will be counted in that
number, so you had as well prepare
to 60.

Mr. Holman's revfex Of The appro-
priations made during the lass- -.
sion Of congress- is thus summarized
BY the New York Evening Post lind. }
As the New York Tribune has
shown, the record made by the Dem
ocrats ct this session is sufficiently
encouraging, savings amounting to
some so, 600, 900 having been made
in those appropriations which it was
possible to reduce. Mr.. Holman fur
ther shows, what the Tribune had
also pointed out, that this reduction
was accomplished in the face of the
opposition of the Republican Senate.
The eleven regular appropriation
bills as passed by the Eouse reduced
the estimates of the administration
by $27, 833, 900, and the Senate in
creased their amount by $17,725, 900.
The result was finally that these bills
appropriated $22,OO0,0O0 less than
was demanded by the administration,
nearly $13,OOO,OO0 less than the SEN
ate desired, and nearly $6,000,000
more than the house deemed snfii-
Gent. The principal economies eff
fected have been first in public build
ings, no new ones having been au-
thorized at this session. The pre-
vious congress authorized the con
struction of sixty eight. much of the
expense of which has had to be pro-
vided for by the congress which has
just adjourned.
The last congress, Judge Holman
says, created 1,705 new salaried Of
fees, costing annually over $1,000
600. This congress has abolished
more Offices than it has created, ex-
cept in the District of Columbia, and
wnlle 1t increased the wages OF those
employed in the life saving service,
it elsewhere reduced more salaries
than it raised. There has been a
small increase in the amount appro-
priated for the judiciary, a consider
able increase in that for the depart
ment of agriculture and new charge
in the subsidy granted to the Worlds
Fair. With these exceptions the
policy of economy has on the whole
prevailed. II it can be shown, and
the Tribune and Mr.. Holman concur
in holding that it can, that the Dem.
ocrats have made an important re-
duction in those appropriations which
were under their control, that is a
concrete fact which is worth great
deal in political campaign.

/ Less than : y Iince
: young 4kn Who had grown 3 in
this towr; possessed Of a vigd) bus
constitution, and with the promise
Of long life, was carried to the Gem
etery before he had reached his ma
'jority.
The deadly cigarette did it.
And yet there are a score or more
Of boys and young men about town
who are sucking these poisonous con
coctions to their death with the sad
example of their fellow fresh in their
minds. They can be seen on our
streets and by-places with pale and
sallow faces and languid eyes going
sadly and surely to the same fate.
Parents must see this and know
the cause and yet there is a strange
indifference about it or these victims
Of the worst habit in the list of vices
would be rescued from its deadly
grip even if it we're necessary TO send
them to Jail or an asylum. These
same parents would be greatly con-
cerned il they knew their boys were
tippling intoxicating drinks, but
there is far more hope of boy who
has become the victim of drink than
of the cigarette The former is less
deadly in it's effects; less unrelenting
in its grip; and less certain to inocu-
late the whole system with an insid
ious and fatal disease.
There is another phase in this
matter that deserves the attention of
the officers of the law. These boys
buy these cigarettes here at home,
where they are known, and for the
simple asking, in plain violation OF
the law. There seems to be no scru-
Piles on the part of merchants taking
the money of minor for an article
they know will ruin his health and
life, and against the plain provision
of the statute of the State.
Our Legislature thought this mat
ter of so much Importance to the wei
fare of the youth of the State that
they passed the following law, to
which we wish again to call the at
tention of our merchants. The first
section of the Acts of 1891, chapter
10, reads as follows:
at shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons in this State to pro-
cure for, or in any way directly, or
indirectly, give, sell, or furnish any
cigarette or opium in any form to
any minor under sixteen years of age,
when he knows or has reason to be
lieve him or her to be such.
"Any person or persons violating
any of the provisions of this act,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and upon conviction thereof, shall be
fined for each offense, not less than
twenty five dollars, nor more than
one hundred dollars, and may be con.
fined in the county Jail not more than
six months, or both, in the discretion
of the court"
This law is just as important to
the welfare of the youth of the COM
munity, as the law against selling
splrituous liquors to minors. 1t
ought to be just as rigidly enforced
We hope to see the next grand jury
give it special attention.

A. work Again.

The mines at Montana and Mon
ongah are running again with full
complement of hands, some old men,
some new employees. There could
be no other outcome to this inexcus-
able strike, the argument and sym
pathy were all on the side of the
operators of the mines. And why
was this so, because the strikers had
no grievance worthy the name. They
did not demand higher wages, and
they recognized the fact that they
were getting all the operators could
afford to pay under the present con-
ditions of trade. In fact they were
perfectly content with their condi-
ton neither asking nor thinking of
any advance in pay until along comes
man telling them how much better
it would be for them now and in the
future if they only belonged to the
labor organization. By persuasion
and threats number are induced to
join. The next move of this strike
agitator was to have the organization
recognized by the operators of the
mines, and failing to get this done
he easily induced the members to
quit work until they should get their
rights, as he calls them. This is all
there was in the strike, the sole bone
of contention, and it was all gotten
up by stranger who came into the
midst of the miners and interested
himself in their condition-for what
purpose? Simply to put money in
his own pocket and enable him to
live without work at the expense of
the laboring man. Such strike de-
serves no sympathy and such man
ought to be drummed out of the coun-
try. And the laborer himself ought
to see to it that he is.
