to make these very same sugar
planters see that their prosperity,
as well as that of the country ut
large, was dependent upon the
success of the republican party,
nor the manner in which those eff
forts were received. The sugar
planters took all the benefits they
could get from the republicans and
continued to work and vote for
the democrats. Now they are
getting paid for being blind to
their own interests, and the aver
age republican believes in letting
them do their own weeping. How
the Louisiana democrats in Con
gress take the move may be gather
ed from this plain language used
by Representative Meyer, the only
one Of them now in Washington:
"It may mean that a republican
delegation will be sent to the next
House from Louisiana and that
republican Presidential electors
may be chosen in '96. This move
ment is no more than might have
been expected. The democratic
Congress has dealt shamefully
with the great interest of Louisiana
after repeatedly promising to sus-
tain it. The party has received
strong and consistent support from
the State for many years, and the
first time it secured complete con-
troll of the government it proceeds
to inflict upon Louisiana the hard
est blow she was ever given by
legislation. We have not only
been dealt unfairly with, but have
been deceived; in a word, buncoed. ,
Mr.. Meyer is lingering in Wash
ingtOn because he is ashamed to 20
home and face his constituents.
The best assurance he has been
able to get from Secretary Carlisle
is that the administration will kill
the bill for free sugar which has
already been passed by the House.
Representative Holman, of In
diana, before leaving for his home
to begin his canvass for re-elec-
ton, confessed that he was far
from being confident of succeeding,
anG intimated that he did not
blame the voters for being disposed
to deprive the democrats OF the
power they have shown them.
selves incapable of wisely using.
While Mr.. Holman voted for all
the democratic legislation during
the present Congress he tried haro
to persuade the bosses not to per
NIT much of it. He saw the ruiz
that would follow, which othel
members OF his party either woult
not or could not see. And now
he sees himself in danger of being
involved in the party ruins.
Secretary Carlisle's tariff de
cisions are going to make no ent
of litigation. Nearly every da,
he makes one that brings notic
from the parties interested of al
, intention to contest it in tn
courts.

DANIEL FUTILE.

The "boys" who stood up
SO nobly for Mr.. Giles may now
sit down and rest.
The champaign supper that
was to have been given on the an
nouncement of Giles nomination
has been indefinitely postponed.
Slowly but surely Mr.. Giles
is reducing the majority for Hatch
in the First District. After a few
more campaigns Hatch will have
to tack on another county.
Hatch has never had the
honor of being soldier, but when
the. scrap, caused by mixture of
politics and bad whisky, came up
Friday night, he demonstrated the
fact that he is man that will both
shoot and cut, for the alteration
had scarcely begun, when he shot
round the corner and cut for the
depot.
The Presidents inborn
stubborness was mildly asserted
when he refused to sign the Senate
tariff bill, but the exercise of his
veto seemed a blank in his capa-
cious mind. How his good right
hand must have lost its cunning
since the closing secenes of his
first administration, when it was
his daily custom to blot out some
dozens of private pension bills.
Where was the influence OF
such men as Hon. Nat. Shelton
and Hon. c. C. Fogle, of Schuyler,
Hugh Marshall, of Putnam, Judge
Ellison, of Adair, Griffin Frost, Oh
Knox, and Hon. William Sears OF
Macon, last Saturday. These men
the most prominent in the Demo
cratic party, were all bitterly op-
posed to Hatch, and yet he rode
them down as if they were pig
mics.
When we spoke of the tax
on leaf tobacco last week, we had
a letter from the United States at
torney stating that all retailers of
leaf tobacco would have to pay a
duty, the same as on manufactured
tobacco. Hatch says the farmers
who retail leaf tobacco will not
have the tax to pay. 1t would be
well, however, rather than take
Hatch's word, to wait for a decis
ion from the Commissioner of In
ternal revenue.
There are reports of fraudu
lent voting in Clark and Scotland
counties last Saturday. 1t is also
reported that new dollar bills were
put in envelopes and scattered.
broadcast over Macon county with
the request that the receivers take
them and do all they could for
Hatch. In Adair county, it is
said, that Mr.. Hatch ordered
enough money to be expended to
carry the county for him legiti
mately. The boys stood on guard
in Kirksville and kept out a num-
Der of illegitimate votes for Hatch,
but it is reported that in other pre-
cincts Throughout the district the
polls were wide open to all who
to vote for Hatch. If these
reports be true the friends of Mr.. |
Giles cannot afford to do otherwise
than contest the election. 1t is a |
duty they owe to their candidate.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(oUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. J
Washington, d. c., Sept. 10, '94

(OU R REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 10, '94.
The five hundred members of
the department of the Potomac
G. A. R. who have gone to the
annual encampment at Pittsburg
from Washington carried with
them document that will be
heard from by the Cleveland ad-
ministlation, and what is heard
will not be pleasant, either; That
document is resolution adopted
by the Department ofthe Potomac,
asking that some action be taken
by the encampment concerning the
wholesale dismissal of union yeter-
ans by this administration, in vio-
lation of the general law as well as
of the civil service law, both OF
which say in plain language, that
other things being equal Union
veterans shall have the preference
in government employment. The
resolution was adopted in executive
session and will not be made pub
lie until it has been submitted to
| the encampment, but I happened
to know that it is both vigorous
and pointed.
This matter of the discharge OF
Union soldiers-somewhere in the
neighborhood of two thousand Of
them have been dismissed from the
government service since March
4, 1S93-will not be allowed tC
rest with the G.. A. R. Many oi
the men dismissed are not mem
bers of that organization, and fol
that reason an independent organi,
zation has been formed, composed
entirely of Union soldiers who have
been dismissed from the govern.
ment service of the democrats,
| which will act as an auxiliary to
the G. A. R. in bringing their un-
just treatment to the notice of the
public, and in attempting to gel
justice for themselves. This or.
ganization has held several meet
ings, and is in possession of the
record of every veteran dismissed,
but it will not decide what action
it will take until it is known what
disposition the G. A. r. encamp-
ment will make of the resolution
sent from Washington, as the de-
sire is not to take the initiative.
The recent action of the sugar
planters of Louisiana, in deciding
to act with the republican party,
recalls prediction made by. ex-
Governor Yarmouth, who was in
Washington during the fight over
the sugar schedule in the Senate.
He told ex-Speaker Reed and Rep
resentative Dalzel, of Pennsylvania
that if they would agree to make
half dozen protection speeches
in Louisiana he would promise
that at least three republican mem
bers would be elected to the House
from that State. Neither of them
gave any promise. In fact, the
prominent republicans, while will
ling to give all men a cordial well
come to the republican party, are
rather disposed to leave these
Louisiana sugar planters to work
out their own political salvation.
They haye not forgotten the ef-
forts which have been made time
after time by the republican party

Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin

The long continued drouth has
been broken at last in nearly all
counties of the state, the average
rainfall for the several sections for
the week ending Saturday Sept. s,
being as follows: Northwest sec
ton 800 inches; northeast section,
0.94 inches; central section, 2.61
inches; southeast section, 2.37
inches, and southwest section,
2 IS inches. In portions of Rails,
Scotland, Schuyler, Crawford, La
clede, Howard, Reynolds, Scott,
New Madrid, Howell and Sullivan
counties only light showers are re-
ported and rain is still badly need
ed to put the ground in condition
to plow, fill ponds and cisterns
and keep grass growing, and in a
few other counties the supply of
stock Water is very low, but over
the greater portion of the state the
rainfall appears to have been quite
heavy and well distributed. At
Gordonville, Cape Girardeau coun-
ty, on the 5th, 2.S3 inches of rain
fell in one hour, and heavy down
pours are reported in few locali-
ties in other sections, washing
badly in some places aud dam
aging fencing.
The mean temperature for the
week was s degrees above the nor
NAL in the northeast section and
from 6 to 7 degrees above in other
sections while the per centage of
sunshine was considerably below a
seasonable average.
In the northwest section corn
was too far gone to be benefited by
the rain, except in a very few To-
calities, but in other sections late
corn in many counties is much i'm
proved and in some will make an
average crop. Cutting is progress
sing in all sections and in many
localities nearly the entire crop is
now in shock.
Grasses have been given new
lease of life and pastures are green
again though feeding is still neces-
sary in some counties. Wells, els
terms and ponds have been replen-
ished and in a number of counties
the supply of water is now abund-
ant.
The rains have put the soil in
good condition to work and farm
ers are busy plowing and prepar.
ing for fall seeding. Seeding is
now in progress in some counties
and will become general during
the present week. In some locali-
ties considerable rye is being sown
for fall pasturage. A num-
Der of correspondents report that
much of the clover and timothy
sown last spring was killed by the
drouth and reseeding will be neces-
sary.
Turnips are coming on well and
some late potatoes have been i'm
proved.
Orchards have been greatly ben
Gifted by the rains. Fall apples
are being gathered.

Chrsstmas Giving.

You know, and I know, that to thou sands of us Christmas has become a season of the year the coming of which we actually dread. Years ago our fore fathers looked to 1t with delight. They thought of it months before. We do, too, only in a different spirit. Our main idea of the coming of Christmas nowa- days seems to be what it is going to cost us. Christmas-giving, once regu- lated by the heart, is in great danger of being very soon almost entirely regu- lated by the means-if it has not already reached that deplorable state. We have made an actual business of Christ mas-giving. Formerly it was consid- cred a pleasure to give; now we sit down and think out our presents as matter of duty. We have to give; we consider it an obligation to give so- and-so certain present at Christmas. Not that we want to do so; we simply feel that we must. "She will give me something, and, of course, must give her something" is the way we coldly calculate the matter. And then when we receive the present the first thought, in nine cases out of ten, is whether we have received as much as we gave. If we have not we feel pro- voked at our own generosity, and coolly make a mental conclusion that next year we will give less--Ladies' Home Journal

me think so is because it was such a good one to Aunt Mildred and Uncle George-though he was not my uncle yet, then-ana they say if it hadn't been for me they wouldn't have had such . good Christmas. And I reckon if hadn't been so anxious to work and earn something, things never would have happened just as they did. My pa died when was just little fellow, and my Aunt Mildred earned nearly everything we had after that, teach ing music, for my ma was sick nearly all the time. While my pa lived we had plenty, but everything he had was invested in a bank, and the bank failed soon after he died. People said that if he had lived the bank wouldn't have failed; and they think the man that was in with him cheated my ma out of what ought to have been hers
 For the last three or four years I have been earning nickel whenever I could by carrying parcels or running errands, or something of that sort; but last winter I just made up my mind that great big boy eleven years old could do something harder than that; So when a big snow fell a week or two before Christmas started out to shovel snow for people. There was Mrs Bron- son, living up on Fourth street, that had always been mighty good about giving me little jobs to do, and I went to her first She let me shovel the snow off of all the walks for her, and paid me a good price for it; and then she went and brought out an overcoat of Mir. Bronson's that she said he would not wear any more, though it was real good, all but on the sleeves and on the edge of it, and wanted to know if my ma could not cut it down for me. knew ma could do it, for she had made lots of things for me out of pas old clothes, and needed an overcoat, too; but hated to take such a thing from . stranger, and my face burned like fire. But she offered it in such a nice way, like she was afraid of hurting my feelings, and her face looked like it was burning, too, so thought maybe I'd better take it, and told her I would take it if she would let me do some thing to pay for it-I didn't feel like could take it for nothing, it seemed SC
