posed OF TO offer some excuse for the
large Increase in tariff taxes. Then be-
gan that reckless waste Of the peoples
money which gave It's nickname to the
'billion dollar Congress. Every dollar
that could possibly DO spent was soon
disposed Of, ana then began that pro-
vision for the future which still requires
the appropriation by Congress Of annual
fabulous sums. Laws were passed and
contracts entered into which would
prevent a radical reduction Of expenses
for several years to come, and only by
the most careful economy has the pres
ent House succeeded in reducing the
expenses OF the government.
The success Of the Republicans in
disposiug Of the surplus was greater
than they themselves expected. They
not only wiped the surplus out, but
have succeeded in creating deficit
which amounts to seventy-fve million
dollars a year.
Even when, before the Mckinley law
went into effect, the goods were brought
from foreign shores as fast as all the
merchant vessels could transport them
and the customs duties were cores
pondingly large, the government was
almost bankrupt aud the Secretary Of
the Treasury, Mr.. FOSTER, had the
plates made from which new bonds
were TO be printed. The necessity for
the bonds was temporarily postponed
but the Democratic administration,
which succeeded, found it necessary to
issue them.
The Republican Congress, we repeat,
was responsible for the deficit in the
treasury, and the Tntelligepcer can not
deceive its readers into the belief that
it was not.

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration Day once more.
Loving hands with their burdens Of
sweet posies are busy among the graves
Of the nations dead heroes everywhere.
tits not the silent tear which dims
the sight that prevents these resting
places from being found as readily as
they have been heretofore, for the low
ing eyes are ell the brighter and clearer
ot "a -lsr the becoming tribute TO the
memory Of the brave and beloved de-
parted.
The plain old graves are harder to
find. That is all. Time is doing his
work rapidly, and in many a
graveyard the beautiful custom
Of decoration has become largely guess
work 10 i;s performance, while thou
sands Of grassy mounds have been OBJ
liberated completely through careless
ness aud decay.
BE this as 10 may, there need DO no
great regret that every grave cannot
receive its share OF 5he fragrant testi-
monials Of the love Of a grateful pos
torIty so long as they receive it in the
far-reachlng spirit Of the day.
May shat spirit never wane.

TzE EMPTY TREASURY.

De nss to the Republican party for the
dehcit now existing in the national
tfsasury II sQuirms under the REGIS
hEKs assertions and attempts to show
that they are not true because the last
House Of Representatives was Demo-
cratic. OF course the REGISTER knows
this and also knew what il was talking
about when it charged the deficit 20 the
Republicans We have no desire to
"wipe out the facts OF history" or TO
"nisrepressnt and deceive" as our CO.
temporary evidently has. Neither will
we allow the Democratic party TO be
misreprssented By the IHtcl6gcRcer
without rebuke.
The fact Is that the Fiity-First Con-
gress, with a large Republican majority
the Reod-billion dollar Congrsss-not
only succeeded 10 wiping out the entire
contents OF the national treasury, but
by the passage Of laws authorizing GER
tain large contracts to be let, increasing
enormously the pension expenditures
and in other ways providing for
the future expenditure Of vast
sums Of public money which
st the time was not in the treasury to
be appropriated, has almost brought
the nation into bankruptcy. The Dem
ocrauc Congress which succeeded this
one was compelled by the laws already
passed by Republican spendthrifts to
keep up the unprecedented appropria-
tiors to about the figure Of the pre-
cedlng Congress, and though the pres
ent House, in the consideration Of the
appropriation bills, has shown the
most careful economy, the operation OF
Republican laws, already passed, has
kept appropriations up much higher
than they should have been.
The reason Why the Republicans
made such enormous appropriations OF
public money has been too often told to
need repeating. The manufacturers Of
their party who were among the largest
contributors to their campaign fund,
demanded more protection. This could
not be given without increased taxation
and swelling the surplus in the
treasury already larger than
was required and growing rapidly.
The demands Of the manu-
facturers had to be complied with, and
consequently the surplus had to Be dis

II THE death Of Capt. WILLIAM DL-
LON another long and useful life has
been brought to a close, and another OF
Wheeling's most respected citizens has

generation is dropping out and only a
few OF the earlier citizens Of Wheeling

in the river interests Of Wheeling and
the entire Ohio valley and has always
had the confidence and respect Of all
