One year in advance - One copy one month Per week by carrier- The house lias passed the urgent defliiency bill, and the amount ap propriated is $ U9,4W largerthan the measure originally provided for. Tli is is the way in which the boasted democratic policy of econ omy is being enforced. Suit has been brought against ex-Treasurer Woodruff, of Arkan sas, for the $150,000 shortage in his accounts, but he is more likely to be elected governor than he is to have a judgement rendered against him by a democratic court. The city of Chicago has a greater mortgage indebtedness on its buildings and town lots than there is on all the farms, of Kansas. . .To be exact the debt in Chicago is $16,000,000 in excess of that of Kan aas. It exceeds that of Iowa by $41,000,009. . It is rumored that if a democrat ic president is elected this fall . that Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller will resign. If it should happen so it will be the first time a cJaiet jus tice ever resigned, but we predict that he wont resign because Harri son will be re-elected. The legislature of Mississippi has passed a bill making Jefferson Davis' birthday a legal holiday in that state. Before they adjourn they will probably make one more, holiday for the other democratic president they have had since it was supposed treason was sup preeBed. There has never been any such thing as a "billion dollar congress Democratic falsehood is the only ground on which that charge can rest. But it can be demonstrated with mathematical accuracy that there is a five-cent democratic house now in session one that while running at an expense of over $7,000 a day puts in such cost ly time debating propositions to reduce the appropriation for soap and saddle blankets for the cadets at West Point. Statistics just made public show that in a single day 47 banks in New York city loaned over $297,000- 0C0 on city real estate and other se curities. In Chicago in one day 21 banks loaned $87,000,000, Nine banks in St. Louis loaned in one day $27,000,000. These figures show what great borrowers the manufac turers and merchants living in cit ies are, and they prove also that they are doing a big business Otherwise they could have no use for these large sums of money and would not borrow them. A vast amount of business is done by men who, lacking sufficient funds of their own have to work with bor rowed capital. Farmers also bor row but not to the same extent as city people, and as a rule they use their credit to much better advan tage. Official reports show that over 89 per cent of the farm mort gages that have been examined were incurred for the purchase of additional real estate and nearly all of the remaining 20 per cen were to make improvements buy live stock, or invest in some form. The money was borrowed because the farmers believed they could make more out of it than they would have to pay in interest. The amonn Dorrowea ana spent tor living ex penses is insignificant. PURE FOOD IN CONGRESS. The act of congress authorizing the examination of the baking pow ders has resulted in a most unpre cedented compliment to the Roya a. . " TT . . oaxing powaer. Aiie tests were rnaie in the government laboratory at ashington, and tiie official re ports shows that the royal is super lor to all others in leavenino strength being over thirty per cent, above the average. The re- port also hIiowh the purity of the royal powders and the wholeeome ness of its ingredients. This is probably the higestcomp- iment of an official character ever paid to a proprietary article, through ho more than the great army of baking powder consumers would expect in behalf of their old friend and favorite. The result of the official examina- lon, as tlius aeterminea, win, 01 course, make tiie Joyai tne standard for government purchase. OROWUH OF FOREIGN COMMERCE UNDBR THE M'KINLEY TARIFF. The following facts, taken from official records, dispose of the mul titude of theories, to say nothing of countless democratic falsehoods: 1. Our imports of merchandise in 1891 were $928,312,045, about $5,000,000 greater than in 1890, 657,786,162 great r than in 1889 and $120,450,216 larger than the annual average for ten years. 2. During 1891 our imports of merchandise free of duty were of the value of $429,326,779, an increase in free imports of $139,798,451 over 1890 and an increase of $168,162,295 over value of like imports of 1878. 3. The percentage of free imports in 1891 pass57.87; in 1890,35.1; in 1SS9 39 9. 4. The large increase in free im ports of merchandise has bt a of such articles as euter into the Jaily consumption of the people. 5. The value of our exports in 1891 was $970,546,282, nearly a billion of dollars, exceeding the exports of 1890 by the sum of $113,003,734, and of 1889 by the sum of $143,499,935, or the average annual value for ten years by the sum of $206,563,150. 6. This immense increase in ex ports has largely been in bread stuffs, cotton provisions, and man- ufactores of iron, steel, cotton, and copper. 7. The balance of trade in our favor in 1891 was $142,193,636. 8. The reciprocity clause of the new tariff has opened new markets for our produce and increased our exports. 9. Our total foreign trade in 1891 was of the value of $1,798,811,928, an increase of $117,918,654f over total foreign trade of 1891, of $201,179,097 over 1889, and of $333,006,367 over tht annual average for ten years. 10. British trade is declining; the trade o f the United States is wonder fully advancing. Thus do the facts and figures completely refute and overthrow every assertion made by the opponents of the new tariff in relation to its probable or possible effects upon our foreign commerce and at that time, remarkable as it may seen, of all the nations of the earth prosperity exists only in the United States. La Grippe. No healthy person need fear any dangerous consequences from an attack of la grippe it properly treated. It is much the same as a severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Remain quiet ly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a se vere cold and a prompt and com plete recovery is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneumonia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F.

This township says a Harrisburg Conn., Letter, boa-sts of a curiosity that probably 13 not duplicated in the en f re hemisphere, anil probably not in the world. It is a musical grove of chestuut and walnut trees. This grove stands on the north side of Nickerson Hill, which is the highest oint of land in New Iondon county, and all the trees are -old, and there are very few that are not hollow. The spot is well known among local hunters as a resort for gray squirrojs, and many hundreds of these animals are taken out of the grove every year. Into the heart of the trees the squir rels have gnawed their way through the knots and stumps of limbs that have decayed and fallen to the ground. In many cases but the mere shell of th tree stands, and if a tire is built in the hole at the roots .smoke issues from a hundred holes above it in the limbs and in main trunk. The ttccMiliar sound caused by the wind blowing into these holes has given the grove the name of Singing Trees. In the summer, when the trees are covered with foliage, the wind has no effect upon them, but in the fall, when the leaves fall to the ground, the win I has a clean sweep at the trees, and it whistles and moans and hisses through the hollow trunks and limbs until it seems to one a short dis tance away that a horde of crazy demons are holding a grand jubilee among the trees. These sounds are produced only when the wind blows from the south east. It then sweeps over the top of the hill and falls upon the grove ap parently, as the wind from the mouth of a boy falls upon a hollow key placed at his lips, and the sound produced in many cases, is like that made by a person blowing into the nose of a bot tle multiplied a million times. In other cases there is a nerve-shattering noise as if a giant was blowing through an immense comb covered with paper. Ureaking into these tones is, now and then, a short, sharp, shrieking noise and then a hissing sound, as if from the mouths of a thousand pythons in chorus. Taken together, these hisses and toots and moans and shrieks make a pandemonium that one doesn't care to listen to very long. The noise of these trees an be heard live miles away, and it has been heard to the leeward a distance of eight miles. Its roaring is looked upon by the people living with in hearing distance of it as a precursor of a storm. Among the hills and val leys it is often impossible to tell cor rectly in what direction the wind is blowing, but when the roaring of the Singing Trees is heard the wind is known to be blowing from the south eastern! preparations are at once made for a storm. In September,during what is known as the equinoctial storm, this strange grove is heard. Then, above the howl ing of the wind, the roar rises and falls like the moaning of ten thousand leviathans in the agonies of death. Passed Him Without Question. Sir George Bowen in a letter to an English newspaper incorporates an apt anecdote concerning the late Bishop Wilberforce. It is to the effect that at one of his ordinations he once had a candidate who was the son of an En glish merchant settled in Greece. When examined in the Greek testa ment this gentleman pronounced in the Greek manner, which seemed strange to the bishop, who exclaimed: "Oh. Mr. where did you learn Greek?" The trembling "candidate faltered out: "At Athens, my lord!" The bishop added: "I passed him with out further question."
