All told, tbe committee Mas received SI'ofi,-. 313.37. Of this amount $158;650 was paid out in the 910-a-head distribution, and this is| the only part of the funds that was, applied directly to the relief of the people. Of the re„mainder, about $lt*0,000 was expended by the various committees for clerk hire and the incidental expenses, including $40,863.05 paid to ithe fire department. and $38,598.11 paid in the first few day 1 for removing the debris and dead bodies, and which was afterward charged to the State; but no settlement of this ac- | count by tbe State-has been made, and ' the prospects are hot good that It will | ever bo. There is yet In the hands of the committee about $100,000,most of which tbe committee intends to apply to building bridges. The action of this committee in using so much ot this money for the fire department and especially for bnilding bridges, has been severely criticised, the claim—which is seemingly well founded—being made that it does not go to the relief of the needy, but instead to the wealthy property holders and men of means by relieving them of taxes, tbe benefit of which they, solely, will enjoy. This committee has also been much criticised hecause no statement of its work was ever given to the public, it only being in a general way that people were informed that much of th money was being applied to building bridges and the like.

- nLAine a LAitsi i.ent;n. lie Ignore* All the mots That «i» to Support Hie CnttutiM. Says Mr. Blaine to Mr. Frye: -Conse, I implore you, to the support oi ray reciprocity project;” or words to that affect He intimates that it was a adstake to admit coSee free fioo Brazil without first exacting the free admission of certain American products into Brazil, and adds: “To repeat this arret with sugar (to an amount three times as largo as with coffed) srril close all opportunity to establish reciprocity of trade with Batin America ? And again, referring to his proposal » retain the sugar duties for the purpose of trading them off for commercial favors from the Batin-Americans, he says- '‘Here is an opportunity for a Republican Congress to open the markets of forty millions of people to the products of American farmers. Shall we seize the opportunity or shall we throw it sway -*'’ Mr. Blaine directs special attention to our trade with the Spanish possessions of Cuba and Porto Rico, from which we get nearly or quits oca-half j of the sugar we consume. Be condemns the policy of admitting 9»®ar B?>to_theafi free without insisting that our agricultural products shall bo admitted to them free. ’ Ho would have Mr. Frye and others believe that the American farmer would b* “undeniably, richly benefited” by a dicker for the free admission of our agricultural products into Cuba and Porto Rico in roturn-jEo** the free admission of sugar from those islands ill to the United States. If we look into the matter a little we will discover that Mr. Blaine. s» usual. Ignores all the facts, that fail to support his contention. The principal American agricultural product imported into those islands is wheat Sour, and the most of it goes to Cuba. In 188?, the last year for which we have returns, the value of flour Imported into Cuba was 18,881,455, of which $1,145,355 was from Spain and $1,736,100 was from this country. Porto Rico buys enough dour, perhaps, to bring up the total importation into the two islands to $3,000,000. To be liberal, call it $5,000,000. We import from them about $14,000,000 worth of sugar. Mr. Blaine does not state these facts to Mr. Frye. That gentleman might not think a market tor $5,000,000 worth of flour so valuable a pi ize to be secured for the American farmer in exchange for an American market for $44,000,000 worth of sugar. About the only other American agricultural product bought by the islanders to any considerable extent is lard, of which they take about $3,000,000 worth. But since nearly all of it now comes from the United States it would not benefit our farmers much to dicker for the free admission of lard into Cuba and. Porto Rico. An examination of the trade statistics of other Batiu-American countries docs not strengthen Mr. Blaine's cade. His talk about oponiug the markets of 40,000,000 of people to the products of American farmers sounds very fine and large, but it is mostly wind. Tba Bat-in-AmericaA) conn tries are themselves agricultural, and thelt imports are therefore mostly manufactures. There is no great demand there for our agricultural products, and it is not likely there ever will be. Mr. Blaine ought to know this perfectly well. And yet he deliberately proposes to “benefit” American farmers by offending and driving off their best customers, and offering them by way of compensation a mere chance of increasing their sales to the Batin-Americans. Great Britain alone buys ten times as much of S<e produce of our farms as all the BatittAmericans do, or ever will. And yet •Mr. Blainc'favors a policy which is admirably calculated to dri^e away this best customer, and give as only a bare chance of getting a vastly poorer customer. It is not the American fanner that Mr, Blaine is trying to benefit, but the American ship subsidy and bounty 1 leggar and the tariff-pampered American manufacturer. His only cart for the farmer is for-the farmer as a voting machine. He sees the farmer victims of his policy slipping away, and he seeks to hold them by offering them the chimera of a Batin-American market.—Chicago Times. '

A DEFICIT AHEAD. One or the Results Incident In Kansciou* Republican RuleThe expenditures of government for the current fiscal year will exceed the revenues for the first time in many years. Congress, in other words, has spent more money than the people will pay into the Treasury. The revenues for the current fiscal year habeen estimated by the Treasury Department at $385,080,000, and the postal receipts will amount to $65,500,000, making in all $450,500,000, That is the estimate of our Income for the year.

The Press adds that at least $25,000,000 more must be included for tho dependent pension hill, a sutfl considerably less than the friends of the bill stated it would call for when passed, that miscellaneous appropriations will add about $10,000,000 more an;i the subsidy bills $3,000,000 mere, aud Senate increases to the bills tabulated above will add two or three millioiss more.

For years there has been in the Treasury » sum set apart for the redemption of National bank notes. It varies In amount, but was sUted by Mr. Conger in ate speech defending the silver bUi to be $70,uOO,000.

Y.) Argus.__ VOTE SUPPRESSION. A BepvMicau Minority Mete More Seals ’ Than a lyemoeratie Majority. The suppression of party votes in Congress i&niai elections is i»n interesting subject at present, and a reliable analysis has been made of tbe vote Ibr the Fiftieth Congress^ showing the extent of tbe suppression. It is thus summarized: Average vale t* each Republican Congressman. 33,888 Average vote to each Democratic Congressman . 31,450 Average vote tG each Congressman in the whole country. 33,854 ■Democratic majority on the Congressional vote. 88,315 This means that with a majority of 33,000 on the vote for Congressmen, the Democrats are still in a minority in the House, through the operations of the district sy3tom, under which tbe arrangements of tbe distric ts counts for more than the party vote at, large. Under this system the Democratic party was suppressed as far as Congress is concerned inColoradq, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska. Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Washington— fourteen States. The Republican party underwent a similar suppression in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware. Florida. Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia—nine States. In none of these States, Republican or Democratic, did tbe minority party elect a, single Congressman. The minority vote thus sup, pressed is as follows: SUPPRESSED IMiMOCnATJIC VOTE. Colorado..... 37,783 Kansas...106,129 Maine...*.... Minnesota .. 108.010 Montana....

They are plain enough to need little reinforcement They explain just what the Republicans mean when they talk about the “suppressed” vote in the South. Tl«y show that the suppressed vote in Republican States of the Northeast and Northwest is largely in excess of the suppressed vote in Democratic States of the South; and they demonstrate that until the district system is abandoned for something better, and human nature so changed that those who have the power to rule will not exercise it, there will necessarily be a suppressed vote -in every election. The gerrymander is not a necessity, however, and these figures demonstrate that the Republican strongholds are worse gerrymandered than the Demo* cratic.—Indianapolis Sentinel.
