By order of County Central Committee. L. L. Poxsler, Wm. D. Bringle, Chin. Secy Foe the past two weeks the roads of this county have been lined with movers. Never before has the like been seen here. These movers are not new comers. who are opening up new farms, and laying the founda lions of permanent homes, but they are of the tenantry class, who rent by the year. We have only to stand by the roadside to see that tenantry farming is on the increase and that home owners are on the decrease. This is

a condition much to be deplored in a new, roomy country like ours. Home stands second in that blessed trio of words, “Mother, Home and Heaven,” but to those who live only a year in a place it has not, we fear, that charm it should have. These trancient homes, these homes on wheels, at best, are but half homes. It is the permanent home that makes the lasting impressions, it is to it the wanderer is ever wont to turn his weary feet, of it is he ever ready to say “there is no place like home.” It is from the love of a permanent home that comes the love of country; “my native home” is what inspires the love for “my native land.” We, of late years, are making special efforts to create a spirit of patriotism in the young hearts of the land. We celebrate the birthdays of our heroes, bedeck the graves of our patriot dead, adorn our school houses with the nation’s flags, sing “My Country, ’tis of Thee,” all in the name of patiotism, to instill into the minds of youth a respect and admiration for the land of their birth. Give the

child a part of the land and ho can sing, “My Native land,” etc., give him a home to love and he will love the country that contains that home; let there be one spot on earth where he has intimate, continued, and happy associations, and we will not have to teach patriotism, not have to sing the praises of our land to let the young know that we have a country worthy of their love. “The fowls of the air have nests, the foxes have holes,’’ but many, many are the children of men that have not where to lay their heads, that have no place in all this wide, wide world they can truly call their homes. Statistics and our own observations tell too plainly that the homeless are rapidly on the increase. These wandering, homeless tenants, who have been trudging up and down our muddy roads the past two weeks, are, as a class, industrious, frugal, honest citizens, whose many virtues entitle them to a home in the grand country their labor lias done so much toward beautifying and improving. Something is surely wrong when honest, industrious men are so fast losing tlieir homes.

Had the rooster stood at the head of the ballot containing the words “Yes," and the eagle at the head of the one containing the words “No,” the gravel roads would have been beaten by the usual Republican majorities. The tariff question had just as much right to have been voted upon last Friday at this local election, when a purely local matter was before the people, as it ever has in city and county elections. If people will quit deciding their local questions by voting upon national party issues, they will soon have home affairs much nearer to their liking. Whether the gravel road is right or wrong the people voted for and against it independent of party, just as they should on all local matters.

FROM WASHINGTON.

An Intercgtfiiff Batch of News From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Mar. 6, ’94. King caucus this week displaced the sub committee which had been considering the tariff bill, since it was passed by the House, but it did not entirely succeed in bringing about harmony among the Democratic Senators and the bill was sent back to the Finance committee. Never before have there been so many caucusses in such a short time, and seldom have there been such exciting caucusses held by Senators. Senator Brice, of Ohio, who has not heretofore figured as a leader, led the assault on the bill as it had been fixed up by Senators Jones, (of Arkansas,) Vest and Mills—the sub-committee —and he was supported by nine other Democrats, including such prom-

inent Senators as Hill, of N. Y., and Gorman, of Md, These senators demanded that the caucus change the bill to meet the interests of their constituents, or take the responsibility of defeating all tariff legislation at this session of Congress. It would, of course, be easy enough for the other Democratic senators to out vote the ten objectors in caucus, but that would not help the bill any. as at least seven, and possibly eight of those senaators must vote for the bill or it it is bound to be defeated, as two of the Populist fer, of Kans., and Allen, of Neb. -—have announced that they will not vote for the bill, if it does not take care of the makers of domestic sugar. The Democrats have been, before those announcements, counting the Populist votes in favor of the bill, because of the income tax. Now, wise men are not counting upon anything; they are waiting to see what, if anything, the Democrats will decide upon. It is said that President Cleveland, who was particularly anxious that the free list of the bill, as it passed the House, should not be materially curtailed, was given an inkling of what would take place this week, and that he concluded he would rather shoot ducks that stay to see it.

It is now certain that the Hatch anti-option bill will be favorably reported to the House, Mr. Hatch having succeeded by a vote of the House in having the bill referred to the committee on Agriculture, of which he is chairman. Had the bill been referred to the Ways and Means committee, as its opponents desired, its fate w’ould have been doubtful with the chances against i;s being heard from again during the present session.

0 9 9 Representative Taylor, a Democrat from Indiana, has introduced a resolution in the House charging employees of the medical division of the Pension office with making false reports to their superiors in order to secure unjust decisions, and directing the committee on invalid pensions to investigate. 9 9 9 Representative Bryan, of Neb., this week introduced a bill in the House that provides for what many people consider an important court reform—that three-fourths of a jury in civil cases shall constitute a verdict. Mr. Bryan says of the bill. “I have favored such a change for several years, and my attention was called to it anew by a suggestion made by Judge Brewer at the Chicago Union League banquet. In civil cases there is no reason why the litigants shall be compelled to fight until one can secure a unanimous verdict. A majority of a court renders a decision even in criminal cases; why can we not trust threefourths of a jury in a civil case?” 9 9 9 Members of the House are under obligations to Hon. John M.

Allen—“private John Allen”— of Mississippi, for the speech he made this week. This speech, although containing some hard hits at the Democrats who were blocking the business of the House by refusing to vote to make a quorum, was on the whole so full of quaint humor that it resulted in getting the ill humor which had been so apparent for several days on the floor laughed out of everybody. If that speech was not a bit of true plilanthropy your correspondent is cut of his reckoning. Which show’s that there are times in a Congressman’s life when it is better, for his colleagues, if net for himself, to be humorous than to be great.

• • • Representative Bland has reaped the reward which usually comes to those who persevere in their undertakings. Finding that he intended to keep his bill for the coinage of the seigniorage before the House to the exclusion of all other business until it was acted upon, enough of those members w 7 ho are nearly three weeks refused to vote to make a quorum changed their miuch and voted, after which Mr. Bland had little trouble in getting his bill passed. It is understood that a majority of the Senate are pledged to the support of the bill, but it is also understood that Secretary Carlisle has pledged his word to New York bankers that President Cleveland would veto the bill.

A feeble interest in Hawaii was revived by the four reports from the Senate committee on Foreigh Relations, which mean about what ever you wish them to mean, and a speech made by Senator Frye, but it was only a fleeting revival. The recent issue of bonds in interest of Wall street, is carefully and truthfully written up by the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) as follows: This vast amount is redeemable in a little handful of gold. The government, which is endorser for all of it, has less than one hundred millions of the yellow metal and is now issuing bonds with which to buy gold. This is an expedient which must be resorted to again and again unless it shall bo superceded by wiser legislation. What a vast superstructure based on a few ounces of gold! If the United States had its full share of all the gold in the civilized world, it could not redeem one-tenth of its obligations. The government is as much obligated to redeem a national bank note in gold as it to redeem a note issued by the treasury. It is no wonder that real and personal property, and all manufactured goods and labor have shrunk in commercial value; that mills are idle; that farming does not pay, and that millions of the unemployed are piteously asking for bread to save themselves and their families from starvation. No one but a knave or a fool will even pretend that this disastrous state of affairs is due wholly or chiefly to a threatened revision of the tariff. There is no blood (money) in the body politic to impart health and vigor. The little we have is congested about about the commercial centers and not performing it legitimate Financial paralysis and heart failure prevail to a frightful extent. Instead of blood letting (drawing of silver), this giant and powerful nation needs more and richer blood to vitalize and strengthen every limb and every organ. The great arteries of commerce should be kept open and free. We manipulate the tariff as we please and apply artificial stimulants to our heart’s content, but all the gold and silver attainable must be utilized or our condition will not be satisfactory.—Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)

“Perhaps you would not think so, but a very larg;e proportion of diseases in New York comes from carelessness about catching cold,” says Dr. Syrus Edson. “It is such a simple thing and so common that very few people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. New York is one of the healthiest places on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of every day life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one get rid of it as s<*on as possible. By all means do not neglect it.” Dr. Edson does not tell you how to cure a cold but we will. Take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open the secretions and soon effect a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Myer Druggist.
