The Democrats are again worrying
over the large, fat surplus in the United
States treasury. The Democrats are
gazing with greedy eyes upon that wealth
and they are seeking an opportunity to
srend it. The Democrats do not like
the idea of the government having re-
ceipts that overshadow the expenditures.
They want the balance on the wrong
side of the ledger. In a word, they hate
surplus. 1t is not at all likely that
the sensible American people will place
the hungry Democrats in power so that
the treasury can be opened up and the
wealth of the government foolishly
thrown to the winds. A surplus is much
better than deficit.

FEW ALIENS IN SCOTLAND.
Most of the Inhabitants of the Land
of Heather and DOOns Are
Natives.

Scotland, according to the latest re-
turns, is not a dumping ground for
aliens, says the London Chronicle. Only
1.033 per cent. out of population of
4,472, 1868 are aliens. The number of
English-born persons north of the
Tweed, if transferred to London, would
be hardly noticed. They number only
131,350, or 2.937 per cent. Irish people,
onthe other hand, aggregate205,O ,O64. or
1855 per cent, and patriotic Scots,
backed up by police statistics, charge
this remnant and their connections
with committing so per cent. of the
crimes annually recorded on the far
side of the Cheviots.
Welshmen seem to shun Scotland. as
only 2,673 were found there when the
census enumerators came round. Mar
riage is popular to the extent Of 46.777
per cent. of males over IS years of age,
and fair womankind is appreciated to
the extent of 44,2Tper cent of like ages.
While the widowers number 72, TAI, the
widows total no fewer than 175 405,
which bears out the truth there lies in
the now neglected ballad of 'Three
Women for Every Man"

BOTHNER STAYED THE LIMIT.
Jenkins had no Easy Work Last NIght-HIs
Opponent was Clever.

A large crowd turned out to see
George Bothner and Tom Jenkins
wrestle at the Dewey Theatre last
night, where the latter is meeting all
oomers this week. This was the Sec
ond time the pair came together, and
there was considerable interest in the
bout.
Although there was much difference
in the weight between the pair, Both
ner was not afraid and cut out the
pace for while. But when Jenkins
set to work Bothner was forced to act
on the defensive. He gave Jenkins q
tussle and got out of some very tight
places. Toward the close Of the match
Bothner took things easily while
Jenkins worked like a Trojan.
He used all the tricks at his COM
mand, but Bothner was always on the
alert and got away Just when it SEEM
ed as if he would be thrown. AS
Bothner had stayed fifteen minutes,
the time allotted for the struggle, he
was consequently the winner and got
all the money. Tonight Leo Pardello
will be Jenkins's opponent.

ENGLISH DIsDAIN PEANUTS.
In Their Eyes the TOOthsOme GoObeI
Is Fit Only to De Fed

Over in England they call the pea
nut 'ground-nut" and "ground-bea "
SAYS the New York Press. In British
eyes it is fit only for pigs. 1t is met
with occasionally in fruiterers' shops,
but never in push carts, as in this
country. A British encyclopaedia
says: "In the southern states of
North America the seeds, or nuts, as
they are called, are roasted and used
as chocolate. They are a favorite
article of food with the negroes"
Georgians are called 'goober grab
bers" throughout the south. Many a
farmer has grown rich on the humble
peanut, the annual product being
worth $40, 100000. Some persons try to
belittle the goober. A lawyer, exam
ining witness in an important case,
one whose testimony was conclusive,
undertook to ridicule him. ''You are
a. business man, believer" "Yes."
"What is your business?" 81 deal in
peanuts" The lawyer smiled know

MADE TRIP ON sNowsHoEs.
EARLY Minnesota Legislators Had q
Hard Time Reaching the
State Capital.

The members of the Minnesota
legislature of to-day are not content
with their lot unless they can jour
ney to st. Paul, the capital, in the
most palatial of railway carriages.
says a Minneapolis exchange. Fifty
years ago last January, when the
legislature assembled. some of the
members from the extreme northern
counties were sadly disappointed.
They had hoped to walk into the new
capitol, select their seats and enjoy
the pleasures incident to the first oc-
cupancy of that structure. Their
homes were so far removed from the
capital and the means of communica-
tion during the winter months SO
poor as to practically isolate them,
hence they had not been able to keep
in touch with the situation and did
not know that the capitol was still
unfinished Three of them-Rolette
Kittson and Gingros, of the county
of Pembina-had come the entire dis
tance on snowshoes and several had
taken desperate chances of death by
billiards. or hungry timber wolves.
Several members of that legislature
were afterward distinguished for
their ability as debaters and shrewd
politicians and most of them had a
hand in forming the great common
wealth now called the "bread and
butter state"
