DEMOCRATIC ExTRAVAGANcE


The Republicans are raising a great
howl about the number of Government
employees the Democrats have put
into service.
The Democratic administration say
the Republicans (and we believe the
charge is true), employs $500 men in
the Customs Service These men pre-
vent smuggling and enforce Quaran-
tine regulations, protect the peopleof
this country from contagious diseases
from abroad and prevent persons
from defrauding the Government.
The Treasury also has a large num-
Der of secret service men, who Oper.
ate against counterfeiters and other
criminals who seek to defraud the
government or the people, and it en-
forces the law against the sale OF
opium and other narcotics.
In addition the Treasury employs
quite a large force of examiners to
see that the national banks are run
according to law.
The Department of Agriculture has
sdme one hundred inspectors who
see to it that spoiled or contaminated
food is not sold to the people of the
United States, and the Interstate
Cmmerce Commission employs a
good many inspectors who see that
common carriers have proper safety
appliances and that passenger boats

When elderly Irishmen are assembled for

fixing dates, as before or after the night Of

phrase as mere figure of speech, without
much real meaning. They are mistaken.
The fact is that "the night Of the big wind"
was real occurrence. 1t occurred in ireland
starting on the nigh: Of Jan. =, 1889. Its force
was so great that hundreds Of houses were
