BENTON, LOUISIANA,
THURSDAY. .:::::::::AUGUST 80, 1894.

Congress adjourned last Tuesday
at 2 p. m., after continuous session
of almost year. 1t has been charg-
ed by the enemies of the Administra-
tion that little has been accomplished
where much was expected. To a
certain extent this is true, but when
the magnitude of the reformations
undertaken by the Democratic party,
and the powerful opposition encount-
cred is taken into consideration there
need be no great surprise that actual
reselts fall short of what was hoped
for. At any events long stride has
been taken in the direction of free
trade, reformations have been ac-
complished in every department of
the government and millions of dol
dars saved to the people.
The present administration entered
upon the control of the government
at a most inauspicious time. We
were upon the eve of one of the
greatest financial panics this country
ever experienced, and there was no
possible means of averting crisis
or evading the depression which it
brought. Naturally the outgoing ad-
ministration escaped the consequence
es, and the Democratic party was, to
a large extent, charged with respon-
sibility. We had nothing to do with
bringing about the conditions which
brought on the money panic, but the
fact that its strongest force was felt
after we came into power gave our
enemies the opportunity to charge it
all to our mismanagement, and they
lost no time in taking advantage oi
the opportunity.
This was the misfortune of the
Democratic party, but history will
berighted, and in this case we believe
it will not be slow to right itself
The reformations set on foot by the
present administration and the gooi
it has inaugurated will bear fruit il
ample time. Prosperity will return
to the country increased two fold ant
the people will rise up and bless ths
Democratic party.
There may be some change in tht
next Congress, but it is reasonabl.
certain that the Republicans will b.
unable to undo any of the good worl
of the present Congress. The results
of Democratic legislation will be fell
throughout the length and breadth
of the land before another nationa
election.
