FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1894.
THE Chinese are unlike the Democrats in the respect that they do not seem to know when they have had enough.
Tin: Treasury is selling- more bonds to get more gold, to llow out and make a bigger deficit, so that it will have to sell more bonds to get more gold, and so on ad infinitum.
Titouiu.rc upon trouble accumulates for the Democratic party. It has just been discovered that just thirteen Democrats have been elected from the Northern States to Congress. Unlucky number.
IT is refreshing after a Postmaster General has been busy for nearly two years in turning down postmasters of opposite politics and then when there are no more to kick break out in a sermon on the beauties of civil service reform.
TnK new Democratic tariff does boom business—that is foreign business. In September, 1893, under the McKinley law, there was imported into this country 3,862,652 pounds of wool while in September, of this year, under Democratic free wool law, the importations reached 12,992,312 pounds.
THK next House, as Thomas B. Rt ed suggests, cannot amend the present tariff law, but it can, through its committees, investigate the blight which has fallen on the country's business and put before the world reports which will be of inestimable value as official aggregations of facts too deplorable to be forgotten and too universal to permit any denial.
FATHKK DUCKY answers Archbishop Corrigan's canonical admonition by saying that it is time for all creeds to co-ordinate and co-operate" against Tammany llall and all good people will indorse such a view of the matter.
TUB Democratic party came out a bad third in the recent elections in Kansas, having cast but 26,044 votes. Hen. Morriii, the Republican candidate for Governor, received 148,029 votes, while Lewelling, the Populist candidate, received 118,247 votes. The Prohibition candidate received 6,477 votes. There's not much of a Democratic party in the West.
THE American 'LVibune suggests that three pension commissioners, one from each of the three leading parties would be an improvement on the present "one mail power" plan. Better stil^ would it be to place the pension office in charge of the War Department. There is where it really belongs, and placing it there would insure absolute justice to pensioners as well as a great saving lo the government.}
WN. C. VAJTAHSDAI- one of the Representatives elected from Marion county, has a bill prepared and which he will introduce to regulate the charge for sleeping car berths. lie proposes that the maximum charges shall be §1.40 for one night's use of a berth. A bill that would do the people at large more good would be one to regulate the fares for day coaches. This would benefit a class of people that is not able to occupy a sleeper even at the proposed reduced charges.
MAYOK-KI.ECT STRONG, of New York, intimated in his speech at the Chamber of Commerce dinner that he might like to appoint a woman as commissioner of street cleaning. The lady he had in mind is Mrs. Elenora Kinnicutt. the wife of a prominent New York physician. Mrs. Kinnicutt took a leading part in the agitation which led to the enactment of the present street cleaning law, and she has also done effective work in various lines of municipal reform. By a peculiar coincidence, a paper by Mrs. Kinnicutt, "The American Woman in Politics," will be in the Century for December,
IT is a well known fact that when Grover Cleveland first entered the White Mouse in ]S85 lie was a very poor man. He is now said to be worth from four to six millions. The question is where did he get it? Kepresenta-tive-elect \\. II. Howard, of Alabama, proposes to find out. At the beginning of the next Congress lie proposes to introduce a resolution calling for an investigation as to the means whereby
President Cleveland, has amassed such ••an enormous fortune," which Mr. Howard sets at a four million figure, since 1888. Howard was a delegate to the Democratic national convention of 1892, which nominated Cleveland. Since then he has turned Populist.
FKKS AND SALARIES.
Discussing the recent decision of the Supreme Court concerning the fee and salary law the Lafayette Call says:
We have'thought sometimes the way out was a salary, as at the present graduation by the population and consequent responsibility, for the county officer himself leaving the matter of deputies to be settled by some competent local authority, as for instance the Board of Commissioners, to fix their number, and pay them from the public treasury, according to the needs of the service, as shown to them by the officer. Such a system could not possibly be worse, or more undesirable, than the present one, and might certainlyjbe better. The public do not want to be robbed by exorbitant fees or salaries but on the other hand, neither can the public expect to get the first-class services which the importance of all these official duties demands and should have, without paying such salaries as first-class men, competent to fill these duties in an ideal manner, can command in private business. It seems impossible for the Legislature to provide in a general statute for covering all the phases of local conditions: and that the general provision for the individual compensation of the officer himself might perhaps well be the limit of the efforts of the General Assembly, and the fixing of the number of the officer's help, and their compensation, be well left, as above suggested, to some proper local authority."
WHKUKVER there is an office in sight you can always count on the average Republican being near to take it in if possible. The cohesive power of public plunder is all, really, that has enabled the Republican party to main an organization any length of time.—lievicw.
A Democrat never seeks an office. O, no. Whenever there are spoils to be given out to Democrats it is necessary to resort to a draft. The average Democrat looks upon office holding as a wicked device ef the devil. No matter how "hungry" they may be they are too "high toned" and "dignified" to ask for any of the "public plunder." What saintly chaps these Democrats are. They are too good for this sin stricken world. An office seeking Democrat! He would make good subject for an Eden Musee.
THE Government will borrow §58,538,500, giving bonds to pay §58,000,000, ten years hence and to pay $2,500,000 every year. This is the second loan of about the same amount which has been made since President Cleveland's inauguration. The bonded debt was only §585,000,000 January 1, but was increased to $635,000,000, and will presently be increased to §685,000,000. The annual interest charge, which had been reduced under Republican administration to §22,894,080, has in a single year been increased $5,000.000, or nearly 22 per cent. Practically a single Democratic year has added a quarter to the burden of the National debt.
IN raising revenue the Gorman-Wil-son tariff bill has been an inglorious failure. It is just three months since the bill went into effect, and under it there has already been a deficit of §31,346,792, while for the same period under the McKinley bill there was a surplus of §4,802,876. For the first three months of the McKinley bill the receipts were §99,007,012, and under the Gorman-Wilson bill of but §61,384,37G. The expenditures of the government during the first three months of the McKinley bill were §94,194,136, and under the Gorman-Wilson bill for the same period §92,831,178. The figures tell their own storv.
AT the close of the war of the rebellion the bonded debt of the United States was §2,381,530,295. From that time until the advent of Mr. Cleveland's second administration is steadily decreased until the bonded indebtedness when Harrison went out of office was only §585,034.260, while the interest burden had fallen from about §151,000,000 annually to §22,894,194. This was accomplished under Republican laws. and by administrations wholly or partly Republican in control. It was left for the first wholly Democratic administration to increase the debt.
JUIH K§MCMASTERS, of the Marion county Superior court, has set aside the allowance of §35,000 made to Receiver Failey and the allowance of §16,000 to Hawkins & Smith, attorneys, in the celebrated Iron Hall case. A rehearing will be had in the case, and it is the opinion now that 'the allowances will be largely reduced if not entirely rejected. Kailey may be removed and another Receiver appointed. The whole affair has created a' big commotion in legal circles.
A DETROIT dentist who inadvertent ly pulled the wrong tooth for a lady has been compelled to pay §500 damages. As the usual amount asked in a breach of promise suit is §50,000, it will be noticed that writing one love letter may prove, as expensive as pulling all the teeth of four summer girls.
ST. LOUIS Globe-Democnit: To all the State Legislatures: Pass laws pro hibiting foot ball, or repeal the existing laws prohibiting prize fighting.
BUILDING ASSOC!ATIOXS. The building association idea is to be applied to the purchase of farms in the interest of persons of limited means. A movement of this kind is already under way in the East. Experts who have had much to do with these associations have been considering the proposed trial of them in the new field, and they say there is no reason why the principle may not be made as successful in making farm owners as it has been in helping people to g-et homes in cities and towns. Government investigation shows 6,000 of these associations in operation. They have given possession of several hundred millions of dollars' worth of property to people in moderate circumstances. This property is urban. Homes numbering several hundred thousands have been acquired by wageearners on monthly installments amounting to little more than the rent of the same would have been. An Eastern man with much experience in the practical operation of building associations says: "The same, benefits that the city and town people enjoy can be made to accrue to the farming class. Money is loaned on houses and lots by these associations up to two-thirds of the value: that is, on a house worth §390, $S.i00 can be borrowed, the owner paying 6 per cent, interest for the money, paying the interest and dues weekly or monthly. In this way a man is paying for his house as he would pay rent, and at the end of seven years he will own it. The advantgages of the building association over the savings bank are that it is conducted by home people and the borrower has a voice in the management as well as the lender. Moreover, you feel the obligation to pay your weekly or monthly dues, whereas you may deposite in the bank or not as you see fit. Now, this system can be applied to the purchase of small or large farms with equal facility. Instead of a hard-working renter paying so much a year to a landlord, he can, by joining an association of this kind, buy a furm and pay for it gradually. Whatever improvements he may make on the land or to the buildings are for his own benefit. He will become a better farmer and a better citizen. He will take a different kind of interest in the township, State and national affairs. The same is true of the man who now works, year after year, at monthly wages on a farm. Through these associations he may be putting himself in away to own a farm. There are large tracts of land within twenty miles of cities and towns that are lying idle and can be bought low, and it is in the scope of building associations to turn this idle land into ten and twenty-acre farms, making comfortable homes. There is another field the building- association can fill for farmers. Most farmers have a little surplus money to bank in the Fall. In the early Spring they need a small sum. If there was one of these associations in a farming neighborhood the farmers in need of temporary loans could borrow on their shares, keeping the profits of thenfinancial transactions among themselves instead of enriching the moneylenders of the towns and paying high rates for their accommodations. State laws are growing more and more strict as to the management of these associations. The risks are becoming less. With competent and honest men from one'^ own neighborhood and under bond at the head of the association, the chance for loss is practically nothing. There is a great future for the building association in this country, and its field of usefulness is soon to include the agricultural communities."
SPEAKING of the method of voting by machinery and the trials that have been made with the Myers voting machine the New York Tribune says:
The Myers voting machine is not an experimental affair. It has stood the test of actual trial a number of times with satisfactory results. These trials have been made in smaller towns than New York, but there does not seem to be any reason why it is not adapted to the conditions under which voting is done here. By means of it voting is rapid, secret and certain. Cheating at the polls is an impossibility with this machine, and as soon as the voting is over the counting is completed. The chief trials of the Myers machine have been made in the western part of the State at town elections. It has just been adopted by the supervisors of Niagara county for use at all the general elections in the entire county. The careful examination of its workings by prominent men in this city encourages the hope that it may soon come into use here. No one can examine the voting machine and see it in actual operation without being convinced of its utility. With this device in general u&e, New York would have the benefits of real ballot reform, or rather real voting reform, for ballots would be no longer necessrry.
What is true of New York is true of Indiana, and it will be the duty of the approaching Legislature to make an investigation of the different machines. It is THE JOURNAL'S opinion that the Myers machine is as great an improvement over the Australian system as the Australian system is over the old way.
THE Wilson bill hit the upper penin sula of Michigan very hard with its free lumber, free ore, free wool, and other provisions. The peninsula constitutes a Congressional district, which in 1890 gave a Republican majority of 3,000, but this year the Republican candidate was elected by 35,000 majority.
THE Republicans will not need to select their next candidate for President from any particular State for the purpose of carrying it, unless they take notion to gobble up the Lone-Star State of Texas.

A TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY.
Democracy's Grand Itusli to be Made Along the Oltl Linen—The Goal Tliey Will Strive to Reach According to .Representative lirookslilre.
A Washington special to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says: Representative Brookshire, of Indiana, is here. He view the late lamented Democratic party with the calmness of a philosopher, and takes consolation in the belief that the apparently deceased political organization will live again. "A landslide is a most peculiar thing," he said to a Commercial Gazelle correspondent "and can't be accounted for by ordinary calculations. In Indiana there were no evidences of the undercurrent that was afterward shown to exist. There was no organization of the mugwumps of the party. The meetings 1 held were more largely attended than in Presidential years, yet my opponent was elected by a majority of 2,500.'" "On what lines do you think the party will reorganize for future campaigns'.'" "1 believe it will insist upon a tariff for revenue only. 1 think there is no danger of the party taking any intermediate course on the subject of the tariff. During the coming rsession of Congress there will be an effort made to have the popgun bills passed in the Senate. We will have a couple of years to see the beneficial effect of our tariff legislation before an election is held. Our next fight will be on the old lines, and 1 firmly believe the Democracy will be no disappointment to us. Our party will rally its old strength. The landslide it has gone through is nothing new, and is onot as astonishing as that which put the Republican party in a minority in 1878. Hard times, dissatisfaction over the delay in the passage of the Sherman clause of the silver purchasing bill, the long fight of six and a half months over the tariff bill in the Senate, and other things are at the bottom of the political upheaval." "What of your future'.'" "Oh, I shall return to the practice of the law. No, I am not a candidate for re-election in the next campaign. The people in my district know me so well that if they should want me to run again they will let me know at the proper time. 1 feel quite well satisfied with my six years of service in Congress. 1 have had extremely pleasant relations with the members of the House and with newspaper correspondents at the Capital. I have only the kindliest feelings for everj'body here and in my district, and it is a pleasure for me to leave Congress with such feelings. One who is in politics must not be surprised at anything, you know, and it is well to be something of a philosopher."
