FRIDAY, JULY in, 1895.
UNDER Republican protection we paid debts instead of creating them, and met the running expenses of the government besides.
THE Toledo Blade says that the chinch bugs are supplanting the silver bugs in several of the Western States. The Blade fails to state which is doing the more harm.
STANLEY, the famous explorer, has just been elected to a seat in Parliament. Unfortunately in this country the best known men do not aspire to seats in Congress.
A STATEMENT prepared at the mint bureau shows coinage during the last fiscal year as follows: Gold, 843,933,475: silver, $9,069,4S0 minor coin, $712,594. Total, 853,715.549.
THE council has had several meetings since the Moore law went into effect and no ordinance against the quart shops has been introduced. We hope to see something done next Monday night.
A COMMITTEE has been formed in Paris to urge the evacuation of Egypt by the English, and to return Egypt to the control of the Porte under a guarantee of neutrality. Many prominent Frenchmen have joined the committee, which announces that it will proceed with moderation but firmness.
THE transfer of important classes of goods from a specific scale of duties to an ad valorem one, accomplished by the Democratic tariff taw, is»causing the customs officials at New York an enormous amount of trouble, because of the undervaluation frauds. Another instance wherein Democratic theory is shown to be a failure when compared with Republican practice.
THK Horr-Harvey financial debale now on in Chicago will be similar in results to a debate on baptism. All the immersionists never fail to claim a victory for their man. and all the sprinklers as vociferously declare that the immersionist was not in it. And so it will be between Horr and Harvey, the partisans of each claimimg victory for their champion.
SENATOR DUBOIS, of Idaho, thinks the Western men in Congress will insist on the deficiency in revenues should be made by a duty on wool. The Senator, however, does not think that any general legislation on the tariff will be attempted by the Republicans for reasons well known, but by way of dissipating the deficiency the suggestion of a tariff on wool will, in bis judgment, be made.
SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN says: "No, I am not a candidate for the Presidency, and if all the people of the United States should join together and offer it to me I would not accept the position. I am too old. No man of 72 has the right to undertake the work and responsibility which come to the chief executive of the United States. It is a position of wear and tear, and it should have a younger man."
THE Democrats of Kentucky are a happy family. Now there are the Louisville Courier Journal, the Times and the Pom, an Democratic papers, which have been ripping up Senator Joseph C. S. Blackburn. The Senator in turn comes back at them in the following dispassionate style:
If I was running hell, and had the Courier Journal, Times and the Post managers, editors and reporters sent to me, I should turn the other inmates loose, lest they be contaminated.
It appears that the Senator is soundly orthodox and believes that there is a place set apart for the finally impenitent.
THE newspapers during these July days contain long lists of pensions granted. A good many are for "increases." All these are required by the law passed by the last Congress raising all from 82 and 84 per month to SC. There is a very small number of "originals," but those who get them under the law of 1890 find that the paper signed by Hoke Smith, only pensions them from the date of issue instead of the date of application, as the law provides. The longest lists are 'under the head of "re-issue"—more than one-third of the whole. "Re-is-sues" are simply reductions from the rate originally granted. Instead of being called "re-issues" such pensions
should be called "decreases." Thousands of them have been received in this State. And the Smith-Lochren cleaver continues to fall daily.
SAVE THIS FOR HEFEREXCE. Here is a little record of the first fiscal year under the new tariff. It is worth putting in your pocket book for reference:
