FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1895.

AT the last accounts ex-Congressman lirooksliire was still outside the breastworks.

THE President has taken care of Springer and Kilgore. What does he propose to do with Brookshire?

COLONEL INGKKKOI.L says that candidates for President are nominated by accident, by chance, by design and by blunders.

THE Legislature of Colorado has passed a bill which gives a bounty of on every ton of beets raised in the State and sold to a sugar refinery within the State.

THE Indiana Farmer notes the fact that the produce dealers of Indianapolis are importing cabbage from Maine and potatoes from Michigan and Canada. And yet we hear complaints from Indiana people every day that they can't find anything to do.

DURING the last three months, or from Jan. 1 to March 24, there were 28,200 pensioners who had their pensions reduced from $12 per month to to 86, $8 and $10. The old veterans must endure this kind of treatment a little less than two years longer. Cheer up, boys.

APPEALS are still coming from Nebraska for aid. They are most piteous and will touch the heart of every lover of his race. Montgomery county has sent to the starving of that State altogether no less than three car loads of grain, provisions and clothing. She is, however, able to do more. Can any person read the appeal printed in today's paper from Mrs. .1. II. Broad us without a feeling of tender sympathy? Let it assume ajpractical form.

THERE is the succulent peanut. May be you think it doesn't play a large purt on the industrial stage, but if you do, you are mistaken. The yearly production of peanuts in this country is about 88,000,000 pounds, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina harvesting the most in the order named. But, after all, the American crop of peanuts is small compared with that of Africa, which in 18(.)2 shipped 400,000,000 pounds of peanuts to Europe.

CHARI.ES A. DANA, of the New York Sun, told the Boston reporters the other day that he was not certain that there would be a Democratic party in this country for a leader next year. "If the Supreme Court decides that the income tax is constitutional," said Mr. Dana, "there will be no Democratic party. It will totally collapse. It will have no mission to perform." Mr. Dana is not the only Democrat in the country who thinks the party is without a future.

A DEFINITE statement of the fall of prices within the last forty years— what articles have declined in price and why the decline has taken place in each—is a very interesting piece of information. Mr. Edward Atkinson, in the April number of the Forum, has with great patience gone through the whole list of important articles of commerce and classified them, showing the fall in prices and the cause in each case. Along with this he discusses the question as to what part, if any, the demonetization of silver has played in this deccline.

THE importations of woolen goods have more than doubled under the Gorman law. This of course is cheerful news to the 125,000 men and women of the country who are employed in woolen goods manufactories, as well as to the owners of these factories, who have 545,000,000 invested in their establishments. Every dollar's worth of goods manufacted abroad and imported displaces a dollar's worth manufactured in the l.'nited States. To compete with these importations the wages of the American laborer must be reduced.

IT is to be hoped for the good name of the county that the White Cap notice served on old man Fruits at Waynetown will not be carried into execution. However deserving the old reprobate may be of all the lashes that might be applied yet for the sake of law and order and for the reputation of that most excellent neighborhood the outraged citizens should be governed by the sober second thought. The injured wife can have her grievances redressed in court and to the court she should go without delay. In this her day of trouble she will not iack for friends.

1'IIOFESSIOXAL. OFFICE-SEEKERS. The St. Louis Gkfhc-Democrat uses the appointment of ex-Congressmen Springer and Kilgore as Judges of the United States Courts in the Indian Territory as an illustration of the fact that after a man has been in political life for many years he becomes a confirmed office-seeker, and ceases to be capable of supporting himself in any ordinary business or profession. It then adds:

Every community has its supply of professional oilise-seekers—men who are no sooner out of one place than they want another, and who go on to the end of their days devising means to live at the public expense. The thing becomes a mania with them, aDparently, a habit that takes complete possession of them, and will not let them assert their manhood and gain prosperity by usual and creditable methods. It is a matter of special wonder that so many men permit themselves to be thus incapacitated for useful and worthy service in the sphere of private activity and advantage, when expeirenoe so forcibly teaches them that a political career does not pay. No man has ever yet made a fortune by oflice-holding. As a general rule, the salaries are comparatively small, and he is fortunate who makes as he is obliged to spend. The same energy and persistence devoted to some other occupation yields infinitely better returns, and brings a great deal more comfort and happiness: but the professional ottice-seeker is blind to this aspect of the question, and never gives up the idea that he must live by politics alone if he is to live at all.

We see this illustrated every day not only in the higher walks of politics, but in the lower, clear down to the smallest kind of place-hunting. Wherever there is a vacancy in any office, be the salary high or low, there is a swarm of applicants, many of whom have never done anything in their lives but look for such employment. A young man starting on such a career soon becomes a chronie and he goes through life a miserable failure. Office seeking is a delusion and a snare.

IN the last six months there has been a steady and rapid increase, amounting to millions of dollars every month, in the importation of foreign goods which come in direct competition with American goods in the markets of the United States. In the same period there has been a steady and rapid decrease in the exports to foreign countries. In other words, the new tariff law has worked to our disadvantage both going and coming. The increased imports from England alone during the months of January and February of worsted goods amount to $2,400,000, cotton goods §800,000, woolen yarns $537,000, and linen goods $1,000,000. During the same period we bought $207,000 worth of English wool,.and over $2,300,000 worth of Canadian and Australian wool, lessening the sale of th,g home product to that extent. This means that we are selling less of our products abroad than we sold before the Gorman law was passed, and that foreigners are selling more of their products in our markets. The game is a losing one for us.

THE complications* with foreign countries were never so numerous and serious as now. The countries with which the United States is engaged in very active and sharp controversy are Great Britain in the matter of the Behring Sea, Canada sealing vessels, Nicaragua and Venezuela Spain, as to the Allianca affair, and the counter chargss of the inadequate enforcement by the United States of the neutrality laws France, in the trial by a military court-martial without a jury of an American citizen and condemnation to twenty years' imprisonment, and France and Germany and Spain, because of the embargo on American meat products. And never was diplomatic statesmanship so lamentably lacking. Nobody need be surprised that in all these controversies, serious and perplexing as they are, that the United States will come out second best.

IN 1800 the population of the United States was 31,443.320. The money in circulation was $228,304,775 in specie and $207,102,477 in State bank notes, or $13.85 per capita. In 1804 the population was estimated at 06,040,000. The money in circulation consisting of of gold, standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver, gold certificates, silver certificates, Treasury notes, United States notes, and National bank notes, was $1,503,720,411, or $23.80 per capita. It will thus be seen that the per capita amount of money in circulation has nearly doubled from the amount we had in 1800. So that the man who says we haven't money enough in the country to do its business is talking about which he knows nothing.

WHAT is wrong with our money? Every species of it is as good as gold, and remains good in spite of the war made upoa it. It is as good as when we flourished as no other people ever did in 1892. But, says one, there is not money enough. There is as much as we had during the period of our greatest prosperity, and hundreds of millions more of it than can find profitable investment. Millions lie idle in the banks and safes of the country. The fact is that most of the talk about our money is done to throw sand'in the eyes of the people.

HCNTEKS* KIDGE,

Aaron Ross is cutting wood for A1 Clark. Miss Clara Flannigan is sick with lung fever.

The tree on Rufus Clevinger's farm measures forty-seven feet in diameter instead of forty-seven inches as stated. [A rather remarkable assertion.— EDITOR JOURNAL.]

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson on last Thursday gave a fine dinner, it being Mrs. .Jackson's thirty-ninth anniversary. There were about thirty friends and relatives present and the time was spent in quilting Tand carpet tacking. The guests departed thinking that it had been a day well spent. All hoped that Mrs. Jackson would live in health and prosperity to enjoy as many more happy birthdays.

Brenton's is to have a new school house and we must say it is not befoi'e we needed it. It is a wonder that the old coop has not fallen 'ere this by the shock of a sudden flood of eloquence within its walls.

To-day closes one of the most successful schools ever taught at this place. The teacher, Mr. Couberly, has given entire satisfaction and the school could do no better than to secure his services nevt winter.
