It promised thern a reduction of the tariff, and as soon as the election was over it ^ % jijuit talking upon the question, and if 'j, $as not yet taken a single step toward p.. the fOllillment of its pledge.

Furthermore, there was a distinct pledge of economy and * fe trench me nt, and yet the figures - , <how that the appropriations at the - present session of Congress will ex­ ceed those of the last one by at least O-£24,000,000. In short, there is not j : the least sign of an intention to do ^ liny of the things set forth in the * Itchedule of doctrines and purposes , upon which the election was carried; •» and every opportunity for such action >iJ'. j. |ias been neglected or rejected. p The plea that the Republicans still control one branch of Congress is not sufficient excuse for this systematic cpudiafcion of ante-eiection prom- ses. It is not necessary to wait un- il after March 4 to begin the inau- uration of Democratic policies, or at east to vindicate the honesty of democratic pledges to the people. |The Republicans are not doing aoy filibustering' against measures de- Signed to serve such purposes. On the contrary, they stand ready to as­ sist in the solution of the silver ^problem, the protection of railway fmployes, and the lessening of pub­ lic expenditures, according to the terms of the contract between the I>emocratic party and those who gave it the victory last Kovember. They have not in any way obstructed the course of legislation during the pres­ ent session of Congress, but have done their best to promote their pub­ lic interests and to simplify matters for the next administration. The re­ sponsibility for the record of useless- iicss that has been made rests wholly on the party that controls the House and that is strong enough in the Sen­ ate to prevent the passage of any given bill. It is evident that the Country has been grossly deceived. As Mr. Bland exclaimed in his frank and courageous Missouri fashion, "the Democratic party has betrayed every ' promise made to the American people on the tariff and the silver questions," and there is no reason to believe that its conduct will be any less faithless and reprehensible after the inaugu­ ration of Cleveland. The Chicago platform counts for nothing. A .triumph was gained by false pretences, „and the Government will be con­ ducted for the next four years simply with a view to making the most out of the offices and other sources of pe­ cuniary profit to tile politicians.-- Globe-Democrat. I" Protection Not Losing Ground. The American Protective Tariff League has undertaken a work the results of which are likely to surprise those who had supposed that the Democratic victory last fall indicat­ ed a radical change of sentiment on -ihe tariff question. It is proposed to collect the returns of the Congres­ sional elections in the various States last fall and compare the same with the vote of 1890. Nebraska was the first State from which such returns were received. That was one of the Western commonwealths, it will be remembered, in which, we are told, there was a strong and growing op- posi ti on to the protecti ve tari ff. In 1890 there were cast at the Congressional elections in Nebraska 212,542 votes, of which the Republican candidates teceived 72,879, the Democratic can­ didates 90,833, the People's party candidates 44,897, the Prohibitionist candidates 3,852, and 81 were scat­ tering. Last fall the total vote for Congressmen was but 196,162, or 16,000 less than in 1890. In 1892 the Republican candidates received 82,440 votes, or nearly 10,000 more than in 1890; the Democratic candidates received 65,482, or 25,351 less than in 1890; the Populist can­ didates 43,011, a loss of nearly 2,000, and the Prohibition candidates 4,828, again of nearly 1,000. These* com­ parisons are indeed surprising, and in view of the Democratic effort to turn the farmers of Nebraska against the party of protection, it is a hopeful sign that the Republican vote should have been increased by nearly 10,000,' while the Democratic and Populist loss'was in the aggregate 27,237 votes. These figures show, not only that th<? Republican doctrine of protection has, not lost ground in Nebraska, but that at least 25,000 Democrats, having be-' come disgusted with the attempt to unite their party wiffh the Populists, declined to vote for their own candi­ dates. Some of them may have gone .ove; to 1 the Republicans, but the great majority of them refused to vote at all. Republicans can find! much encouragement in these fig­ ures, for they indicate that Nebraska in ly soon be numbered again with Ihe solid Republican states. < . /. No Eicape from the Sugar Tariff: Most Democrats are clear-headed enough to see that under the logic of their national platform there is no escape from a tax on sugar, if not on tea and coff«»e as well. Henry Y^at- terson s Courier-Journal persistently demands it. Edward Atkinson fa­ vors it. So does the late president of that distinguished and strictly ortho­ dox free trade organization, the Re-' I Verily it teemi to pay-to baa^nuig*- foro) Club <pf New York. Such promt-' wump. * • . • • • • ' . " T ji neat Democrat^ leaden* as Mt i r!« on, Mills, Cox and Dorsheimer have re­ garded the sugar tariff as a funda­ mental tenet of Democratic doctrine. Ex-Senator Carlisle, who is to draw up the forthcoming Democratic tariff bill, is known to take the same view of this tax on the workingmao's breakfast table. Democrats, nodouot, feel--and with good reason--that it is a dangerous question to discuss, andvhence dislike to express their views concerning it; but it is signifi­ cant that those who have spoken gen­ erally regard the sugar tax witb favor. * The Democratic War on PfDitott. The Democratic war on the pen­ sioners has begun in dead earnest, and a desperate attempt will be made in the House to carry out the process of "purging" the rolls for which the Democratic press have been clamor­ ing ever since Cleveland's election to the Presidency on Nov. 8 last. The amendments to the pension appro­ priation bill submitted by Mr. Mutch- ler, of Pennsylvania, leave no doubt as to the intentions of the Democrats who control the legislation of the House. These amendments, in addi­ tion to transferring the Pension Bureau from the Interior Depart­ ment to the War Department, pro­ vide: first, that all pensions for dis­ abilities shall be uniformly rated, and that hereafter all pensions granted under the dependent act of 1890 shall be "rated upon the inability of the pensioner to earn a living by manual labor; second, that after July 1. 1893- no nension shall be allowed to a person under the provisions of chapter 634 of the act of 1890, who is able to perform manual labor, and whose income is $600 or more per an­ num; and. third, that after July 1, 1893, no pension shall be paid under any general law to the w'idow of a soldier of any war unless said widow shall be able to show that she was married to said soldier within five years after the close of the war in which he served. This indicates very clearly that the Democrats pro­ pose to make the pension list a roil of dishonor rather than one of merit. They would deny a pension to every man, no matter what his merit and bravery on the field, and give to only those who are willing to prove under oath that they are paupers, and de­ pendent upon g6vernmental charity for support.--Cleveland Leadefc^ The Kansas Row. The vital point in the conflict be­ tween the Republicans and the Popu­ lists in Kansas is the fact that a state of disorder and violence, stopping little short of civil war, has been precipitated by the refusal of the People's party leaders to permit the courts to decide which of the bodies claiming to be the House of Represen­ tatives is legally constituted and which is the mob of law-breakers. The Re­ public, says the Cleveland Leader, have all along been willing and ready to have a judicial decision of all ques­ tions, but the Populists have relied upon bullying and force, and have shunned the courts as men do who know that their cause is not just. Therefore for whatever physical col­ lisions and lawless conflicts may en­ sue at Topeka or elsewhere in Kan­ sas the People's party must be held responsible. . THE Democratic party in Chicago last June adopted a resolution in which it denounced in unequivocal terms the Sherman act as a "coward­ ly makeshift fraught with possibili ties of danger in the future which should make all of its supporters anxious for its speedy repeal." And when the bill for this repeal came up, first in the Senate and then in the House, twenty Democratic Senators voted against it and 107 Democratic Representatives. In either house the bill would have carried if the Democrats had been true to their party pledges, The Democracy car­ ried the Presidential election on false-pretenses.--Burlington Hawk- eye. " IT is a striking fact that our ex­ ports to the very countries whose products have been most effectually barred from our markets by protec­ tion have grown immensely--far more than their exports to this country. In 1860 all Europe sold us to the value of $216,680,000, and bought of us to the value of $241,230,000. In 1892 Europe's sales to thi* country had grown to $391,630,000, but we sold to Europe domestic merchandise valusdat $841,090,900 in the same year. That is, while our purchases were increasing $174,950,000, our sales grew $599,860,000.--New York Press. THE announcement of Mr. Cleve­ land's determination to make Judge Gresham the head of his cabinet was a perfect blow at the old Democratic stagers, but the further announce­ ment by the Chicago Herald that the Judge will be the Democratic nom­ inee for President in 1896 is almost beyond their ability to bear.;--Bur­ lington Hawkeye. THE honest opinion of Isaac P. Gray, William R. Morrison, John M. Palmer and two or three other In­ diana and Illinois Democrats on the Gresham appointment would make interesting reading at this juncture; --Minneapolis Tribune.

TuK bottom truth about the ap­ pointment of Gresham probably is that he was enthusiastically in favor of a third term for Grant, and can be Icgically expected to boom Cleveland for that distinction.

WENT OYER THE BANE. WRECK ON THE FT. WAYNB ROAD NEAR COLUMBIA CITY. One Man KUled and Twenty Persons In­ jured In the Accident--A Brobea Rail Caused the Disaster--BlmetalUts Meet la WstlsgtoD. - 'DenkUecl at a _ . . The two rear coaches of train «o. of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi­ cago Road, eastbouud, left the track at Eel lliver bridge, one mile east of Co­ lumbia City, Ind. One mar* was killed and twenty persons Injured. The cars rolled down a rocky embankment twenty feet high. The acc dent was caused by a broken rail. The rim on a driving wheel of the locomotive came off and broke the rail. The train ran over the bridge on the ties, and the two rear cars left the track 300 feet further on. Five minutes after the wreck every passenger, with the exception of Dr. John W. Paramore, had teen removed from the ruined coaches. Dr. Para- Bore was sitting in the rear coach when the cars left the rails and began to bump ac o-s the ties on the bridge. When the coach whirled over the em­ bankment his head was caught between the crashing timbers of the roof and crushed like as egg shell* Th« body was so entangled In ihn wreckage that axes had to be called into use before it could be removed. Soareely had the body of Faramore been secCired when both coaches caught Are from the overturned stove. The llames were soon extin­ guished by the passengers, who threw snow and ice over the burning debris. The wounded passengers looked on while the flames were extinguished with IK.> VKiaI, OAff SOT !n; who realize a narrow escape from the most horrible of deaths. One feeble old woman, whom fate had miraculously allowed to escape without a scratch, knelt down in the snow and offered up a silent prayer of thanks. FREE SILVER THE CRY. rhe American • BlmetaUle LMIW (Wf , ,T*aU«a at Washington. The first annual convention of the American Bimetallic League was called to order in Washington by its Presi­ dent, Gen. A. J. Warner. Fifty dele­ gates from the Western States were present, among them Gen. Weaver, the candidate for President of the People's party, accompanied by Mrs. Mary Lease. Gen. Warner stated the aim of the league to be the securing of legislation for the free and unlimited coinage of siver. This question, he said, was the most Important one now before the American people or before the Civilized world. It overshadowed the tariff question, which, In h's opinion, was but a resdlt of the restricted coin­ age.of silver, and it waB really at the bottom of the Irish question. It was also at the bottom of the labor ques­ tion and was responsible for the condi­ tion of the laboring man. Three-fourths of the value of gold came from its monetary use. He urged the league to fight not only against the repeal of the Sherman act, but to labor until silver was nut on a parity with gold. Gen. J. B. Weaver made a speech, in which he referred to Chairman Warner, and said said lhat twelve years had elapsed since they had joined in making the best fight possible in the House of Representa­ tives for the free coinage of silver, and he called upon his friends to bear witness that the cause had made considerable progress. Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, who then addressed the convention, was frequently applauded. She said that the people of the West had felt the crushing effects of legislation enacted by the two great political parties for the last thirty years. The people of the West, she said, demanded free trade, free silver and free citizens, and if there is anything else good in sight they are in favor of that also. They realized that God was the first to bestow free trade and they held that Congress had no right to restrict it. They demanded competition in tbe open markets of the world, the expense of the Government to be maintained by an income tax. SECRETARY FOSTER RESIGNS. Be Oon to Europe to Represent In the Retiring gea Arbitration. Secretary John W. Foster has retired from President Harrison's Cabinet for the purpose of assuming the manage­ ment of the case of the United States before the international tribunal, which is to assemble in Paris, France, for the arbitration of the questions in con­ troversy between the United States and Great Britain in connection with the sealing industries of Behring Sea. Secretary Foster will sail on the steam­ ship New York for Southampton, pro­ ceeding then to Paris. He will be ac- companied from New York by Senator Morgan, one of the arbitrators; Hub­ bard T.

Jenks, of Pennsylvania, was to be Mr. Cleve­ land's Attorney General emanated from friends of William F. Harrity, to whom the thought of Mr. Jenks' ap­ pointment was as gall and wormwood. The announcement was made for the purpose of destroying whatever possi­ bility there might be of Mr. Jenks'en­ tering the Cabinet. Mr. Harrity him­ self is said to have sent word to Mr. Cleveland within-the past few cays in­ dicating that Mr. Jenks' appointment would be distasteful to h:m. Harrity, it is explained, would have gone into the cabinet himself had it not been for the fact that he is making $15,000 a year in his,present position as Secretary of Stale of Pennsylvania. He does.not want to glve'uprthis income for c. Cabi­ net salary of only $8,000 a year. Climi'itnllK Are Abolished.

Beats it* Predoeeworta ApproprlatlM*. The Fifth-second Congress has seen the billion-dollar appropriation of its predecessor and gives promise of going over thirty millions better, says a press dispatch. Lest some should doubt the assertion that this Congress will also be known as a billion-dollar affair a few figures may be quoted. They were ob­ tained by the correspondent from the appropriations committee and are ac­ curate, They show that the appropria­ tions for the'first session of this Con­ gress were in round numbers $507,000,- 000 The nppropr!&t'->!i bills for this session have not all passed the Senate, but they have all passed t he Democratic Bouse, and as they will undoubtedly be increased by the Senate by probably ten millions--it is certain they will not be decreased--they are safe for the pur­ pose of conservative computation. How the Figures Look.

Total Appropriations last session....... Grand total $513,543,000 607,000,000 $1,020,646,000 Such are the figures. If at the con­ clusion of the present Congress they show there is any change in the vari­ ous sums the changes will in every case be Increased. The correspondent sought nu expression oi opinion from the leading Republican and Dcmocratio members of the appropriations commit­ tee. Mr. Dingley, Republican, of Maine, and Mr. Dockery, Democrat, of Missouri, both of whom will fight for the reputations of their respective par­ ties at tho drop of the hat. Mr, Ding- ley said: "I think that it can be stated within reasonable certainty that the ap­ propriations for this session will reach the sum of $531,000,000. And as the appropriations for last year were $107,- 000,000 the total for the Fifty-second Congress will amount to $1,03K,000,000, as against $988,000,COO made by the - i f t y f i r s t C o n g r e s s , a n m O i o f about $50,000,000, which is represented almost entirely by the pension appro­ priations. " Mr. Dockery, the Democrat, said: "The appropriations at the first session of this Congress amounted to $507,701,- 380.57, and the provable appropriations of this session will be about $537,000,- 000, or a total of $1,038,000,000 in round numbers." Mr. Dingley's statement that the total Republican appropriations for the last Congress were only $988,000,000 is dis­ puted by the Democrats, who claim that in addition to that sum the Fifty* first Congress passed the direct tax bill and the bill for back pay and bounty claims. The sums necessary for those bills were Dot known then, but they were to be paid whatever they turned out to be, and they were found to amount to over eighteen millions in all, oi which three millions were for baok pay and bounty claims bill. At any rate, the present Congress has exceed­ ed in its appropriations its predeces­ sors, and will be referred to by posterity as Billion Dollar Congress II. POPULISTS TO GET EVEN. Will Try to Gall Back Appropriations to Several State Institutions. Topeka, Kan., special: A Populist member said he would do all he could to secure the passage of bills withdrawing appropriations for the State University, State Normal School and other institu­ tions that sent young men here to help defend the Republican bouse. Adjutant General H. H. Artz said that in less than six months he hoped to have the Kansas state militia in such shape that when he should call for the aid of troops he would have a thousand men on whom he could depend to obey orders. It was rumored about town that <iov« ernor Lewelling had been assassinated. Sheriff Wilkinson and some deputies went to the Capitol immediately, but found no truth in the report. The scare started from the fact that a man, who is believed to be only half-witted, had threatened to shoot the Governor on sight. The fellow is still here, but has not been placed under arrest, as the Governor does not think it necessary. The Populists have created something of a sensation by the announcement of their intention to move the State capi­ tal from Topeka to Salina. About $100,- D00 is said to have been subscribed for this purpose and twenty-live acres of land have been given. JUSTICE JACKSON CONFIRMED. His Nomination Indorsed by the Senate Without Kven the Formality of a Vote. If there was at any time a disposition on the part or the Democrats to oppose the confirmation of Judge Jackson to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, that oppo­ sition vanished when the Senate went into executive session Saturday after­ noon. There was not even the formal­ ity of a vote. The executive journal was read, containing the nomination of Juage Jackson, which had previously been reported favorably, and when the President of the Senate said "If there are no objections the nomination will stand confirmed," not a Senator opened his mouth. In this quiet way all the apposition disappeared, and Associate Justice Jackson will, as soon as con­ venient to him, qualify for the place to which he has been appointed by a Re­ publican President. The injunction of secrecy was not removed from the pro­ ceedings. RECEPTION FOR HARRISON. Arrangements Being Mule to Welcome Him on His Ketnrn to Indianapolis. The Indianapolis admirers of Presi­ dent Harrison are arranging to give him a reception when he returns from Wash­ ington. Several club organizations will take part in it. The arrangements are in charge of the Columbus Club, and meetings of special committees were held for the purpose of taking the pre­ liminary steps in the matter. There will be addresses of welcome by prom­ inent members of the party, and the clubs will join in a street demonstra­ tion. It is said that the President has discouraged the efforts of his friends to show their appreciation, but has not positively declined the propossd'honor. How the World Wags.

The fact that he was the first martyr In the struggle against slavery lends a sort of halo to the old building and makes its demolition ceem like desecra­ tion. Several weeks ago an agent of the World's Fair Commission was there and took pictures of the building, and it may be that the building .will be moved to the World's Fair on the plan of the removal of Libby Prison. CARTERVIIIIIE was a scene of wild ex­ citement Tuesday night, caused by a mob attempting to take Ira CarmiChael, a prisoner held by officers, to a conven­ ient limb where Judge Lynch could preside.

The guard, with his prisoner, slipped away in the dark­ ness and walked nine miles to Marion. The mob was greatly angered upon discovering that the intended victim had escaped. Gov.

UNITED 8TATEH ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER has ordered quashed seven in­ dictments against E. H. Horner, of New 1'ork, charged with circulating lottery matter through the mails. The indict­ ments were secured by United States District Attorney Connelley, of Spring­ field. who proceeded under the law, re- oently enacted, which provides that an indictment may be found against the of­ fender at either end of the line, where tbe mail is received as well as at where it is posted. This he had done and taken great pride in it, and claims he had only to get Mr. Horner into Illinois, to in­ sure tor him an extended term of im­ prisonment. Mr. Connelley does not relish the Attorney General's aettoa. ONE OF LINCOLN'S CASES. The Great Man Whittled a Little WliMtmW to Convince the Jnry. In tbe year 1848 there was a mem­ orable lawsuit in Chicago be- iween Parker and Hoyt over the in­ fringement of a patent right of a water-wheel. Adams. ButterQeld, and others were attorneys for the plaintiff and Abraham X incoln ap peared for the defendant. During the progress of the suit John Brink, ESQ., chanced to be in tbe city, and the following is his account of it: The trial lasted thirteen days and excited an unusual amount of inter­ est. When Mr. Brink reached the citv he found every one talking about the suit and the great Supreme court lawyer, Abraham Lincoln. Judge Drummond of tbe United States District Court, presided at the trial. He sustained Lincoln in all of his propositions to the court, and in all of his objections to the posi­ tions taken by the opposing counsel. In the courso of the trial a flume was made and water applied to the wheels for the purpose of demonstrat­ ing to the jurors the exact facts in the case. Indian meal was thrown into the water to show the jury more clearly the effect of the water on the wheels. Soon after this experiment had been made Lawyer Adams said to Mr. Brink: "Don't you think we have the best ot the case?" Mr. Brink replied: "I do not know that I am a suitable judge, as 1 did not arrive here until the suit bad been in flMVftKAJO 4- /via f K«AA 4&Jn, ••<-« " ilkl « pivj-fc 1 ccm vnu ui biutm i>uu iiuo man Lincoln seems to bold you fire fellows pretty snug." Then Aaams said: "I would rather fight every lawyer in the state of Ill­ inois than Abe Lincoln, because he is a uatural man, a natural lawyer, a natural mechanic, in fact a natural anything, and he knows more about thac water-wheel than the man who made 1 J, and 1 don't know anything about it." While the attorneys for the plals- tiff were making their pleas Lincoln sat there, and. although listening at,, tentively4 whittled out a pine stick about half an inch square and a foot long. From that he cut off two pieces about three inches In length, and with these two pieces he made the wings of a windmill. He fastened them together by running a pin through the center of the two wings and that pin into the end of the other and longer stick. After having put it together he blew upon it, ana when it worked to his satisfaction he took it apart and placcd it in his pocket. There was eightr-four witnesses on the two sides, and Mr. Brink thinks Lincoln took no note% but- trusted wholly to memory. He requested the witnesses to be present during his nlea, and said if he made any mistake in regard to their testimony he wished them to corrcct him. While presenting his side of the case he took out the above- mentioned windmill from his pocket and, putting it together, blew upon it and explained it to the jury. He assured them that if any infringe ment had been made Parker had in­ fringed upon the old-time windmill, and that Hoyt had not infringed upon Parker. Adams was to make the closing plea, and in Lincoln's speech ho anticipated what Adams would say, and by no means weak­ ened the force of his plea. Lincoln won his case, and the jury were out only a little over two hours. 1 «--" Pointers. ̂ ATTEND to the trifles now; th^ ln»- portant matters will come in due course. "You are a dead loss to yourself," is the latest way of telling a man he is no good.. PEOPLE in this world are so much alike that if you find fault with one, you will hit a hundred. THE greatest evils are from within us; and from ourselves also we must look for our greatest good. THE more sensible and dignified a man is when he is sober, the bigger toyl he appears when he Is drunk. APPLICATION is the currency in the realm of learning; and memory is the mint where this coinage receives its impression. IN the man whose childhood hds known caresses, there is always a fiber of memory which can be touched to gentle issues. IT is much easier to reconcile an enemy than to conquer him: victory may deprive him of his poison, but reconciliation his will. THERE IS business in this world for all the men who choose to create it. There is no need for petty jealousies with any class of people. You can usually tell how high a man's enemy stands in his stockings by the loudness of his voice when he makes his threats to lick the enemy.
