FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1895.

THE public debt was increased $13,542,574 during January. As a debtmaker the Democratic party is an eminent success.

THE bread war is on and the people enjoy it and they would not be averse to the butchers bringing on a similar engagement.

REPRESENTATIVE MCCREA has introduced a bill in the House to regulate the practice of telegraphy and to require telegraphers to be licensed.

THE House by a vote of 73 to 8 has passed the bill to prohibit in any fire insurance policy what is known as the 80 per cent, clause. Other changes in the insurance laws are probable.

WARD AICAI.J.ISTKK, the celebrated society leader of New York, is dead. It must have been of inestimable comfort to the dying man to realize that he was passing away with that fashionable disease, the grip.

THE Franklin •Republican lias been sold by R. A. Brown to L. E. DePue, the local editor. At the conclusion of his labors as Clerk of the House Mr. Brown will probably seek another newspaper pasture.

THE bill to raise the age of consent from 14 to 18 was amended by the Judiciary Committee of the House to make the age 16. The recommendation was concurred in and in this form it will probably pass.

NEW CASTLE Courier: The legislature can solve the building and loan association problem quickly by simply providing that no association can transact business outside of the county in which it is organized.

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS on Saturday issued a proclamation calling a special election in the counties of Wabash and Huntington to choose a successor to the late Senator John D. Thayer. The election is to beheld on February IS).

EDMUND BURKE said of the French Assembly during the revolution of 1792 that they were "the ablest architects of ruin that the world ever saw." What would Burke say were he to speak of the present American Congress?

THE Central Cnion oTelephone Company is announcing big reductions in rates at nearly all of its exchanges in the country. The new rates are gen erally $18 per year for business houses and $12 for residences. It is abouttime for it to establish new rates in Crawfordsville.

A TAULK of the political composition of the various legislatures shows that there are in the several assemblies in the different States at present 3,541 Republicans, 1,503 Democrats and 387 Populists. This includes the legislatures elected in 1803, as well as those selected at the last election.

ONE of the most important features of the Gettysburg National Park bill is the provision for the erection upon that battlefield of a bronze tablet bearing a medallion likeness of Abraham Lincoln, and a copy of the address he delivered at the dedication of the National Cemetery, Nov. 19, 1S(3.

A COMPULSORY educational bill lias been introduced by Senator Gifford. The provisions of the bill require that all children between the ages of six and fourteen years of age shall attend school unless excused for cause by the township trustee. The trustee and school board shall furnihh books and clothing temporarily to children whose parents are too poor to purchase them. This is a good bill and ought to pass.

THE amouDt of gold produced in this country last year is placed by Wells, Fargo & Co., one of the best authorities, at $45,000,000, an increase of $11,690,000 over 1893, and the largest amount of gold mined in the United States in a quarter of a century. About the same weight of silver was produced in 1894 as in 1993, but the decline in price made its value $28,721,000 in 1894, against $38,492,000 in 1893.

THE scoundrels who have been in the habit of marrying women they have wronged to escape seduction and breach of promise suits and then abandoning them, have had their day. A bill has passed the House and no doubt will pass the Senate providing that Buch men are guilty of felony if they desert their victims within two years. The penalty is a $500 fine-and imprison-

ment for five years, righteous measure.

This is a most

A SHARP REPLY.

One of the greatest clothing manufacturing firms in the world has has its headquarters in New York City, with an allied firm in Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Kansas City, St. Paul, Omaha, Brooklyn, Boston, [Minneapolis, Harlem and Lincoln. This indicates the enormous extent of the business of these manu. facturing clothiers. These two allied firms have sent out a large number of circulars to all parts of the country soliciting" trade, and saying that the removal of the duty on wool by the Democratic party enabled them to sell their goods at lower prices than in former years. These firms have received answers to many of their circulars, and in a large number of cases the answers express the strongest dissatisfaction with the results of the changes in the tariff made by the Democratic party. C. S.-Broadbent, of De Rio, Tex., sends a letter which is sharp and stinging in its description of the results of Democratic policy. Mr. Broadbent writes as follows: "Yes, your circular letter is true. Prices do show the effects of the changes in the tariff. But this is a stock country, and with wool selling at 7 cents a pound and hides selling at prices that do not make it worth while to ship them, if the free trade statesmen will tell us where we are to get $2 to buj' a boy's suit, that we formerly paid $G for, they will do us a favor and solve a knotty problem. Our people can hardly get enough to eat, and have to wear clothing carried over from the days of 18-cent wool. In the days of 18-cent wool they lived and dressed well and had a good annual surplus. We do not sell one-half the goods we used to sell, and those we do sell are at less than one-half the former profit, and where there is such a vast underconsumption the markets are bound to be glutted.

TIIE DEBT MAKEII.

That able Democratic newspaper, the New York Sun, is not pleased with President Cleveland's financial policy. It says:

Under the pretense of "maintaining the gold reserve" Mr. Cleveland's administration has illegally borrowed about $110,000,000 up to the present time. A large part of it has gone, or is going, to pay the current expenses of the government.

Another illegal issue of bonds is imminent, the pretext being that the gold reserve has gone down again about to the point to which it had sunk just before the first illegal loan in February, 1894, and likewise just before the second illegal loan, in Nover&ber last. The practice of the administration has been to issue bonds for $50,000,000 at a time, and according to the yield of the previous bond sales, the third illegal issue of $50,000,000 would bring the total up to about $174,000,000, borrowed mainly to pay the current expenses of the government of the United States.

Bills are pending in Congress to enable the Secretary of the Treasury legally to borrow more money with which to pay current expenses up to $500,000,000 at the discretion of Mr. Cleveland and his financial advisers.

The entire interest-bearing debt of the United States in 1892, when Mr. Cleveland's administration came in, was $585,000,000. Since 1879, when the total debt amounted to $1,797,000,000, it had been steadily decreased, year after year, without a single break in the way of temporary increase. Between 1879 and 1892 two-thirds of the interest-bearing obligations of the United States had been redeemed and canceled.

In one year Mr. Cleveland's administration has already increased the in-terest-bearing public debt by $100,000,000, or more than 17 per cent and it wants authority from Congress to increase the debt by $500,000,000 more, which would more than double the public debt as the Cleveland administration found it.

In time of peace, with no extraordinary demands pressing upon the treasury, this self-proclaimed reformer of the national finances, elected ».o office to give the county a tariff for revenue, a revenue from a tariff, has given to the country instead of that an additional burden of debt and promise of debt amounting in the aggregate to the figures of a great war's cost.

Bond sales for revenue! That is the policy of Grover Cleveland and his sole achievement.

Such is the the record of the mouther of promises and the shifty borrower of cash wherewith to cover the failure of performance: the shameless breaker of pledges and the audacious maker of debt.

THE New York Press calls attention to the fact that in 18(56, when the business of the whole country was disorganized bjT the civil war whose echoes had hardly died away, and when the population and wealth of the'United States were less than one-half of what they are to-day, the national debt was iu round figures, $2,773,000,000, or about $77 per capita. In 1880 it was $2,128,000,000, or about $42 per capita. To-day, with the $100,000,000 already added by the Cleveland administration, the interest bearing debt is less than $700,000,000, or only about $10 for each of tthe seventy millions of people in the United States. In comparison with Great Britain's debtof $2,350,000,000, or $87,69 per capita or with France's immense burden of more than $4,000,000,000, or over $100 per capita, the debt of the United States is insignificant. That it should be increased in a time of peace is deplorable and disgraceful. But no increase which may be made necessary by deficiency in the revenues 'will imperil the Nation's credit in the slightest degree. Even if the public debt were twice as great it would only be a little more than one-quarter per capita of what it was in 18GG, and less than one-half per capita of what it was in 1880.

THE desire for the adjournment of the present Congress is not confined to party or sectional lines. It finds expression throughout the country, North, South, East and West, among Republicans, Democrats and Populists. Even that straightout Democratic newspaper, the Atlanta Constitution, is constrained to sing: Thar'll be joy in this county when Congress adjourns—

When Congress adjourns. Adjournal That lans is the longest that never makes turns—

That never makes turns, Mukes turns!

WITH proper pride the New Orleans papers chronicle the dispatch of the Louisiana Nebraska relief train of twenty cars, bearing such articles as 580 barrels of molasses and ninetythree barrels of sugar, all important heat-producing food: 145 barrels of corn, and 100 barrels and sacks of rice, besides Hour, corn meal and grits, potatoes, beans, coffee, tea, and many other articles of food, besides dry goods, clothing, and other necessaries. "Then," says the Picayune, "there is a car load of salt from the famous mines of Avery's Island, and a car load of dressed lumber, of infinite value in a a State that is almost treeless. These products, with a few trifling exceptions, were grown on Louisiana's soil, manufactured in Louisiana's mills, cut from Louisiana's virgin forests, or dug from her mines. They carry with them the warm breath of the Gulf of Mexico, and the hearty God bless you of a people who never turned a oack on friend or foe, and whose welcome and hospitality to the stranger are unbounded."

SENATOR SHIVKLY'S bill concerning libel in civil and criminal ca.ses has been reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. It requires the aggrieved party to serve notice of the suit three days before its filing. The notice shall specify the alleged false and defamatory statement. If it appears on trial that the article was published in good faith, that its falsity was due to a mistake or misapprehension of the facts, and that a full and fair retraction was made, after the mistake was brought to the knowledge of the publisher, then the plaintiff shall receive only actual damages. Actual damages shall be construed to include all damages that the plaintiff may have suffered in respect to his character, property, business, profession or occupation. The bill also contains the provision of the Grubbs libel law.

A copy of the Greenville (S. C.) jVcuw has been placed in our hands by II. S. Watson. It is a Democratic paper of the Bourbon type, and its editorial page gives an insight into South Carolina politics. For instance here is this paragraph:

Senator Ilill and President Cleveland have dined together at the White House. Both deny that the new cordiality has any political significence, and they are probably correct. It is not likely, from the present outlook, that anything done or said by any Democrat just now can or will have any political significance. The party itself hasn't much political significance just now. It is abundantly supplied with political insignificance. We think Grover and David dined together on the principle that misery loves company. ...

HON. JOHN L. WILSON last week was chosen by the Republican caucus as the candidate for United States Senator from Washington. THE JOUP.NAI. joins with all his old friends here in extending to him most hearty and sincere congratulations. Mr. Wilson was born and educated in this city. His first legislative experience was gained in Indiana as a Representative from Montomery county. He has served three terms in Congress from Washington and is therefore well equipped for his duties as United States Senator. Again we say, shake.

NEW RICHMOND has set the pace for other localities in the county. The farmers in that vicinity contributed 395 bushels of corn for the benefit of the Nebraska sufferers. John McArdle, the wide awake grain merchant of that place, bought the corn at 40 cents a bushel and sent the proceeds, $158.25, together with $16 cash received, amounting in the aggregate to $174.25 to five different localities in Nebraska for distribution. If every neighborhood in Montgomery county does as well the whole duty of the people will have been performed.

In a recent interview at his home, 184 Charles street. Providence, Jl. 1.. Mr. Hutchins said: "It is generally known that when my wife caine here she was very poorly off with nervous prostration. Today she is the picture of health, and 1 must say we owe it to that splendid medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and the quicker people affected with any nervous difficulty commence to take this great medicine, the quicker they will be cured.

"But let my wife tell her experience, which everyone, who knows her, knows is true in every particular." Mrs. Hutchins said: "I consider it my duty to state that I was permanently cured of nervous prostration by using three bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. 1 doctored for two years or more with several eminent physicians without receiving any permanent benefit. •"My husband insisted that I should stop employing a physician at once, and commence taking the Nervura.

As Kousa naturally fills the place of Gilmore. so the mantle of the great cornetist. Arbuckle, fell upon his pupil, Major A. Frank Hutchins, the leader and director of the American Screw Co.'s Hand and Orchestra of Providence, 11. I. Mr. Arbuckle said: "1 know of no man who can produce a better tone and effect on the cornet than Ilntchins.'' In both orchestra and band Mr. Hutchins is distinctively a leader, and next to Sousa, undoubtedly occupies to-day the most prominent position in this country As a musician and teacher he stands unrivalled.
