DECREASE IN PU3LIC INDEBTEDNESS. From 1880 to 1S90, the iiHiibtedness of the Nation, States, C'ouutits, Cities and towns (combined was reduced one billion, eighteen million, six hundred and twenty-five thousand, four hundred and sixty-five dollars. On Augnst 31, 1805, the interest bearing obligations of the Uunited States were $'2,383,0:33,31i. These have been steadily paid off until on Octolwr 31, 1891, there was outstanding only Sti-l'J,050,232. During the last ten years the average annual decrease of the National debt has exceeded $100,000,000 per annum. During the decade 1SS0 to 1S90, the National debt of iho I'nited Stales was decreased $1,030,057,2(30, from $1,922,517,3G4 to $891,900,101, while the State and local indebtedness which was SI,123,278,647 in lbSO, has been incased to 81.135,210,442, an increase of but 1 per cent. The decrease per capita of combined national, state and local debt during the same period was from $00.73 to S32.37. During the same period the assessed value of property for taxation increased from $17,000,1)00.000 to $25,500,000,000 for 50 per cent. a rvluction of public debt and an increase of wealth for the country unprecedented at least in modern limes. l'ro]erty valuations increase 50 per cvnt. Municipal indebtedness increases 1 per cent.

It is estimated that the tot:il appropriations by the first session of the Fif-ty-seeor.d Congress- will foot up $532,801.079.81. The total appropriations of the first session of the Fifty- irst for "billion dollar") Congress were S403.398,510.70. and this included a jwnsion deficiency of $25,321,907.35, left it by previous Democratic Congress. The second session of the BillionDollar" Congress appropriated $525, 018,072.55. Therefore the first session of this Congress will exceed the first session of the last Congress by $09.400,109.02. and the second session of the last Congress by $7,780,007.20. These are the figures of Mr. Beltzhoover, a Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania, and are verified by Mr. Holman.

Tub Democratic party has found out that to carry on the great works of this government requires money at the rate of a billion dollars every two years. They have uot dared to openly forego any of these great works, knowing the pride the people take in them. They have injured many of them by niggardly parsimony in details and the people will condemn them for that. Yet. thuy are sjH-nding more of the people's money than did the "billion-dollar" Congress,

Stei's have been taken to unite the Indiana and the Southeastern Indiana Conferences of the Methodist church into one Conference. The General Conference now in session at Omaha will probably pass an enabling act so that the two Conferences can be made one at their next meeting in the Fall. This is a wise a step and should be followed by a union of the Northwestern and the North Indiana.

Hahkison carried the doubtful States in 1888, and they all favor his renoniination, believing that he cun do the same thing this year.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Mr. Bible's burglar boys are still at large. Now they are saying Lamb is a kicker. Ho was in the hall outside the court room when the congressional eonvenvention was colling for him, but sent word to the Chairman to have it announced that he had gone to his olliceMany persons saw him at the time and h'lve spread the word that he was "sore" because Brookshire was nominated. It is none of our business, perhaps, but then was a grand opportunity for the blue-eyed bov to have made friends bygoing into the room and making a rattling good speech. But, like the other bosses, he was "ratt'ed.".— TVnr Haute Express.
