to do so. Now wasn't that like a
Democrat?
1t is certain that no administra-
ton of the United States was ever
so universally condemned after
only one year Of power as that OF
Mr.. Cleveland is. Here are a few OF
the condemnatIons of it by men,
beers Of Congress: Senator Teller
"Tbe most signal failure Of any
administration we have hver had";
Senator Peffer-"Has been series
of plumbers that might have been
aVoided"; Senator Wilson-"l do
not think the country will want
repetition of such an administra-
ton. There is no doubt whatever,
that we shall have a change" Sena-
tor Cullom--"Has been most unfOr-
tunate, and characterized by a
greater number of plumbers than
have occurred under any other adj
ministration :" Senator Dolph,
has proven a disastrous failure,
having to parallel in our history"
Senator Power-"Mr. Cleveland's
free trade policy has made the cup
of the American working men full
of Misery" Senator Proctor
"The esteem in which the people
hold Mr.. Cleveland's first year of
administration is shown by the
recent election in Pennsylvania"
Senator Higgins-"For our present
misery we have to thank
the Democratic party, which
is, it seems, never so
happy as when trying to run
sword through our industries;
Senator Pugh (Democrat)-"I con-
denim Mr.. Cleveland's financial
policy in toto" Senator Frye
"His Hawaiian policy and his at
tempting to force the Wilson bill
through Congress have wrecked
his party, and to this extent Mr..
Cleveland is a public benefactor )"
| Senator Hale-"The only hope of
business men is the expected total
| overthrow Of the Democratic party
at the fall elections :" Sena tor Man
derson-"A miserable and lament
able failure;" Senator Platt
l-"Incompetent and bad )" Repre-
sentatives, Bowers-"May the good
Lord save us from three more such
years." Bingham-"He has lost
the good esteem OF the people by
his pique and bitterness as well as
by his attempts to control the
legislative branch of the govern

good thing accomplished is
the Generalization of the par

Walker - "The record of the
year is little short of disgraceful;"
Hepburn-"No administration has
ever gone out Of power so little
regretted as will that of Mr.. Cleve-

and Marsh-"Has been hell upon

Democratic senators are still
fighting among themselves over
the tariff bill, which was sent back
to the Finance committee by the
caucus for revision, and until some
sort OF an agreement is reached the
outcome will be very much in
doubt. REP.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent. !

From Our Regui ar correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 5, 1894.
Senator Henderson, aided by
Senator German, broke up Mr..
Josiah Quincy's little scheme for
Withholding his testimony in the
investigation Of the letting of the
contract for the publication of the
Patent Office Gazette until he had
heard what the rest Of the witness
es had to tell, and compelled him
to testify. Under cross eXamina-
tion Mr.. Quincy convicted himself
of about everything charged
against him, and in addition cre-
ated very strong suspicion
that the National EconO-
mist" the official organ of the
Farmers Alliance, which he
has been endorsing notes
for, is mixed up in the mess and
that it was in the pay of the DEM
ocratic National committee dur
ing the last campaign. Quincy
acknowledged that it was his en-
dorsement that procured the money
to do the work after he had sue
ceeded In getting the contract
given to his friends; also, that he
had persuaded treasury officials to
cash vouchers for them that had
been chung up" and yet he denies
having any personal interest in
the contract. Such friendship is
very extraordinary.
Representative GrOut, OF Yer
mont, in a speech on the pension
appropriation bill, now before the
House, presented some statistics
showing the pension policy of the
present administration to be
against the veterans, in a manner
that could not be truthfully con-
tradiCted. He presented figures
showing that pensions are granted
only One-fOurth as fast by Com.
missioner LOchren as they were by
Commissioner Raum, the latter re.
jecting, on an average, only one
case out Of every four applications,
while the former rejects two appli-
cations for every one granted, in or.
der to carry out the policy mapped
out by Mr.. Cleveland, OF reducing
pension payments by withholding
certificates that should properly be
issued. He called attention to the
recent Democratic estimate that
$26,OOO,OOO would remain unex.
pended at the close OF the present
fiscal year out of the apprOpria
lions to pay pensions, "and signifi.
cantly enough said Mr.. Grout
that is Just about the amount
Speaker Crisp said, in his speech
In favor Of the tariff bill, would be-
saved by reducing expenses" Nc
Democrat attempted to reply t.
these statements, but Mr.. Meredith
made foolish speech in which HI
repeated Mr.. Cleveland's libel OF
their being thousands of fraudulen
pensioners, and he went a step fur
ther and said that he had persona
knowledge Of these frauds. III,
was interrupted by Mr.. Funk, O
Illinois, who told him that IL h
knew Of fraudulent pensione
and failed to denOUnce him to tn
authorities he was not a good citi
zen, to which he, after blusterin
and talking about fighting, mad

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Of the body are under the con-
srol Of the nerve centerS, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with

A COLD RECEPTION,

Our misguided sugar planters who
propose focking to the Republican
party to save sugar have thus far re-
celved very little encouragement from
the representative press Of the coun-
try. The Democratic press of the
North does not cry owe the contem-
plated flop, but simply tells them to
90 if they are SO minded ; the indie
pendent press tells the sugar planters
that they are making the mistake OF
their lives into going over to the pro
lection theory of tariff when the whole
country is against protection and for
tariff reform +; while the Republican
press plainly and bluntly intimates to
them that they are a little bit late dis
covering their mistake, and twits them
with being bnt half converted. Evil
IDENTIFY the Republican press has not
much confidence in the National Re
publican-and-S tat4-Democrat idea. 1t
does not believe in political hernia
phrOdites. 1t wants whole men, with
their whole allegiance and non at all.
1t recognizes, with the rest of the
world, that no man can serve two
masters at the same time he must
make his choice and follow one or the
other.
Let every n who contemplates
joining the Republican party, the
sworn enemy of the South, ponder
we'll I'VE the matter before taking the
rash step which he will live soon to
regret. 1t is time yet to retrace his
steps, but once he has allied himself to
the Republican party and given it aid
and comfort in the election of Con-
gressmen, he will find himself ire
trievably in the Republican Camp.
In the nature Of things, a National
Republican party which is a State
Democratic party is worse than an all
snrdlty /; and a man who proclaims
himself a National Republican and a
State Democrat advertises himself as
a natural curiosity ; a a without a
party ; a man without fixed opinions,
ready to ''hunt with the dogs and run
with the hare" as the occasion re-
quires.

OUR CHOICE
For the 3rd Congressional
District
Hon. Andrew Price
OF LAFOURCHE.
THE REPUBLICANS PLEDG
ED TO FREE SUGAR.
OF LAFOURCHE.

In our last issue we asserted that
the Republican party was pledged to
free sugar, and there was no hope to-
look to that party for relief in the
shape of a duty on sugar. The posi-
ton of that party is SO we'll defined by
its official acts that there is really no
ground for any one, ever the most
sanguine, to indulge the hope that it
may recede from 1t to help the sugar
planters as the price Of a possible Con-
gresham or two. The majority re-
port of the Ways and Mems Commit
tee OF 1890 on the subject of a duty on
sugar, says:
In 1888 the consumption OF sugar in the
United states was 1,i69, 997 tons, or 3d. lbs.
per inhabitant. OF this only 1854 tons
(375. lO4, 1877 lbs.) were produced in the United
States, and ,28O, 1873 tons, or seven-eighths of
our consumption, were imported. We have
not at hand the statistics Of sugar consump-
ton and production for 1889, but the relative
proportion of domestic to foreign produc-
ton was substantially the same. So large a
proportion OF our sugar is imported that the
home production of sugar does not mate
rally affect the price, and the duty is there
fore a tax, which Is added to the price not
only Of the imported but of the domestic
product.
In 1853 the duties collected on imported
sugar and mOlasses amounted to $55. 975, $40.
Add to this The increase of price of domes-
tic sugar arising from the duty, and it is
clear that the duty on sugar and molasses
made the cost OF sugar and molasses con
sumed by the people of this country at least
1884, 600 900, or about one dollar for each man,
woman and child in the United States. more

had been levied and the domestic product
had remained the same.
This report was concurred in by all
the Republican members of that com
mittee, aud it is plain that the objec-
ton against a duty on sugar contained
is hat the revenue derived from it
goes into the public treasury instead
of into the pockets of private persons.
By repeating the sugar duties the Re-
publican party was afforded the op-
portunity of adding to those taxes
which increase private fortunes, and
that is just what was done by the pas.
sage of the Mckinley Bill.
Free sugar followed this emphatic
pronoaciamento Of the Republican par
ty that a duty on sugar vas violstive
of the doctrine of the protective theo-
~, and to that action of that party do
we all the evils which threaten Us
to-day.
This action of the Republican Marty
was in keeping with and the legitimate
outcome Of the, crusade made against |
by that party in 1882 SO when
the Republican House, presided by
as Speaker, reduced the tariff
On sugar below 40 pei cent. 1t was
hen only restored and maintained by
