The expense accounts of the Popu-
list, Democratic and republican COM
mittees have been fled with the county
clerk. According to these statements
the various committees spent funds as
follows: Popul;st, $24 95; Democrat,
$50 As; republican, $3.50. The repub-
lican and Populist committees used
most of their funds in the management
of their county campaigns while the
democratic expenditures went for liter
allure and public speakers in the in
terest of thenationaland congressional
tickets. From this it will be seen that
the republican committee expended
nearly four times as much money as
did the PopulIst committee.

A QUESTION.

We read in Gen., 10th chapter, that
Jacob, or Israel. in blessing his twelve
sons just before his death conferred the
following blessing ON Judah:
1.-The sceptre shall not depart from
Judah, nor law-giver from between
his feet,until Shiloh come;and unto him
shall the gathering of the people,
Every Bible student knows that the
Tribes divided about 975 B. c., Rehobo-
am reigning over Judah and Jeroboam
over Israel. The ten tribes went into
captivity in 72l b. c., Hoshea being
their last king. The Jews, or Judah
went into complete captivity 5SS b. c..
Zedekiah being their last king, and he
reigned about two months as tributary
prince.
Where was the sceptre and the law.

this question scripturally.
