THE Greensboro Messenger says its

neighbours increased prosperity and can
say that the books of the News show up
the same way. The News believes with
the Messenger, that keeping everlasting

people who take cheerful view of life

IT seems to be great surprise to many
people that President Cleveland took
such decisive step in suppressing the
rioters at Chicago, and they talk as if
they actually expected him to join the
strikers and 90 to tearing up railroads
and burning property. 1t is an actual
shame how some poor ignorant people
are taught by their political bosses to
believe that when the country is not in
the hands Of Republicans that it is being
run TO hades by the devil and his imps.

WHERE Hon. George w. jolly made
the mistake Of his life is that he tried to
make an honest servant OF the people,
when he was United States Attorney for
the District OF Kentucky, and be a Re
publican at the same time The conse-
quence is that he has lost the support
of that great honest (?) and moral (?)
party, and it is now hardly probable
that he will receive the Republican NOM
ination for Congress, which be seeks in
the Second District.

WE SrILL ARE pEMocRA as.

MANY persons have given up all hope
and are Of the opinion that we will never
have a Democratic reform tariff bill
passed by the American Congress, but
that we will forever be cursed with pro-
lection that the few may be made
wealthy at the expense OF the many.
This opinion, however, should not be
encouraged. The time will come, and
IL is to be hoped that IL is not far distant,
when this cloud Of disappointment will
be lifted. II is true that we cannot look
to the present congress TO do anything
for our relief. The present tariff bill
that is now being "Conferenced" will
give us little relief, and what is worse
than all, il will pour the filth Of disgrace
upon the Democratic party of having
had protective tariff bill passed by a
Democratic Congress. We are opposed
to a protective tariff. We, the people,
have been voting for many years for a
principle; we have fought and argued, and
worked for it, and taught our children to
defend it, 10 these many years, and now
it is truly discouraging TO see our SER
wants, our representatives in Congress,
so far neglect their duty as to let slip the
only opportunity which we have had for
thirty years of passing genuine Demo-
cratic laws. But we should not waver
in our duty or devotion to the princi-
Piles we love and believe to be right.
Because men whom we have trusted. and
in whom we have reposed confidence
have betrayed that trust and confidence
it is no reason why we should desert the
cause of the right. 1t may be that this
shadow is only the darkness that pre-
cedes the dawn OF day. The people are
aroused and there is a determination
apparent that all public servants who
have proved themselves derelict in their
duty towards the people who elected
them shall be relocated to the shades OF
quiet, home life, and new men put at
the helm that guides the Ship of State.
This will surely be done, but not in the
manner that is almost universally pre-
dicted. Because the members of this
pretended Democratic congress have
wasted these many months Of valuable,
precious time in bitter quarrels among
themselves instead OF legislating for the
relief OF a heavily burdened and bewail-
ing people, is no good reason why it
should be predicted that the next
Congress will be a Republican one.
The people are not tired of Democracy
and they have lost no faith in its inn
mortal teachings of justice and right,
but their stomachs are distended out OF
all shape, completely pot-gutted, as it
were, on the base political trickery that
has deprived them OF getting the laws
passed in accordance with the principles
they have so long battled for. They are
determined that traitors to party princi-
Piles, TRAITORS to the welfare of home peo-
Pile shall be left at home to repent at
their leisure, and Democrats are to be
placed in their stead, Democrats who
pass Democratic laws in harmony with
the principles the people voted for. Let
no one deceive himself by imagining
that the next House will be Republican.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal Sayi
Their Condition shows Improvement.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 25.-Under the
call recently issued by Bank Commits
sioner Breidenthal for statement OF
the condition of Kansas banks up to
the close of business January 10 re-
ports have been received from about
200 state and private banks, which is
one-half the total number now in ex-
istence. The reports have not
been tabulated, but Commissioner
Breidenthal states that the gen.
eral condition of the institu-
tions will show an improvement over
the statement made three months ago
A few of the banks that suspended
during the panic of last year have re-
sumed, but many of the smaller insti-
tutions have retired permanently,
either at the hands of receiver or by
voluntary liquidation.
The list last year showed forty-two
suspensions, of which five have since
reorganized and resumed. Many OF
the suspended banks were in small
country towns, where no demand ex-
listed for such facilities.
