FIGURES FOR VOTERS.

When General Garfield was Chair
man of the House Appropriations
COMMITTEES, less than twenty years
ago, he declared that the pension list
Rad reached it's maximum. 1t was
then twenty-five million dollars.
The amount appropriated by the
Billion Dollar Congress for 1892 was
a hundred and thirty-ive millions,
which it has been found necessary to
increase to a hundred and forty-eeven
millions. This is an excess Of thirty
nine millions over the total Of 1891,
which, in turn, was an increase OF
twenty-five millions nver the aggre-
gate of 1890.
In other words, the money sunk in
pensions has been steadily aud rapid
ly increasing year by year. 1t must
steadily and rapidly incre1se in the
future unless a halt is called.
Representative Enloe, OF Tennes-
see, who has thoroughly informed
himself on the subject, estimates that
as things are going a hundred and
SIXTY millions will be called for next
fiscal year, and that il Republican
extrayagance is not arrested high
water mark Of two hundred million
dollars 9 year will be reached.
We submit these figures t" the con-
sideration of intelligent voters.-[N.

Many yourg people are distress

is likely to produce the very effect
which it seeks to prevent. 1t gem
crates self-consciousness which
breeds embarrassment in turn, and
consequent inability to make the

The Outlook in Georgia.

Congressman Moses, who has
been renominated in the fourth dis
trict of Georgia, Is confident of an
overwhelming democratic victory
IN that State in November. He
predicts a democratic majority of
at least $4,000. Mr.. Moses attend
ed rally in Cherokee county, a
former third party stronghold,
which was attended by five tbous-
and people. After the speaking a
test vote was taken, and when those
who were prepared to support Wea-
yer were called on to rise only half
a dozen men got on their feet =
When the question was put, "Who
is in favor of Cleveland ?" every
man, woman and child rose, and
the way Cleyeland's nome was
cheered left no doubt Of the loyalty
of Cherokee county. "The fact
said Mr.. Moses to an interviewer,
''is apparent to me that this third
party agitation viii bring out thou
sands of voters who have not cast
a ballot for years because they
thought it unnecessary, and every
third party vote will be discounted
by two additional democratic votes.
Now take my own county as an in
stance. We have in all 10 90 reg
Uttered voters. The county has not
been thoroughly canvassed, yet, but
the club report that l,4O0'of the
entire number have turned out and
registered their names to vote the
democratic ticket. The other day
] heard on old man who has not yo-
ted for sixteen years tell me that he
would vote as the next election if
he had to be carried on bed TO the
polls. That is the sort of feeling
that has been eDgendered all over
the State, and although tho third
party will doubtless poll some bal
lots, I have 10 idea that it will at
