Evert federal olficu-holder is expect
ed to drop his contribution in the demo
cratic campaign plot. Otherwise he will
be " and ' 1
"weighed found wanting.
Mrs. Roscoe Conkling has contrib
uted $50 to "The Conkling Uncondi-
tionals \ \ , " a Harrison and Morton club
of Utica made up of the old - Stalwart's
chosen friends. The item is significant
of the spirit of union among New York
Republicans.
A democratic contemporary says :
"The voice never gives out while inton
ing the dulcet notes of reform. " The
esteemed contemporary may recall an
old remark to the effect that peapods
rattle : loudest when they are dry and tlir *
horse | ( winks hardest with his blind eye.
The Cincinnati Gazette announces
the arrival of Mr. Eugene Iliggins at
Indianapolis. Tt describes Mr. Flijrgins
as the celebrated mugwump of Maryland ,
a sort of George William Curtis man , a
Cleveland man and a reformer He is
evidently just the kind of man the dem
ocrats need to reform th 'in in Indiana.
Two thousand detectives have been
spurred on by the heavy rewards offered
by , the republican national committee to
watch for democratic frauds in the regCf
islration of votes in New YoiL' City ,
Mr. , Cleveland's friends in 2sew Jer > ey
jM consequence will not be so anxious to
cast their votes this fall in the Empire
state.
It is said that the foitheouiing report
oi the director of the initifc will show a
cC considerably < increased estimate of the
consumption , ( of the precious metals in
the arts. The consumption of gold will
be | shown to have been decidedly larger
than the official estimates for recent
years , and the same is true of silver.
This is the resultof an improved method
iu obtaining statistics.
That giant monopoly , the Alaska
Commercial company , seems to have a
provision that a republican government
will either control it or annul its char
ter , for it is utilizing its advantages
most ' tremendously. Recently an Alaska
steamer arrived in S.in Francisco with a
bundled thousand seal skins on board
How loni ; will sealing continue if ? uch *
devastation is permitted.
Farmers ! If you want a quick , cash
market ; forour produce , vote with the |
party ; which would fill your state with
prosperous towns , by legislative encour
agement of all manner of manufactures.
A half million of mechanics and mill-
men , , brought into the several cities of
Nebraska , upon the opening up of new
industries , would make a market for our
farmers of inestimable value. .
Tt is the testitiiutiy of Rradstieet's
that , considering the near approach to a
presidential election , the general aspect
of trade throughout the country" indicates
an unusual nnmberof favorable features ,
and R. G. Dunn & Co corroborate this
view ( by the statement that while the
prevailing political excitement mu t "
have prevented a great many commercial
transactions during the past week , the 0t
volume of trade has been surprisingly •
large. J
No one who knew Glaus Spreckel's
lecord ol gross monopoly upon the Pa
cific ( slope for a moment believed his as
sertions that he had gone east to fight
the sugar trust and to inaugurate an era of
* cheap sugar. They took with many .
grains of allowance his assertion that be .
had ; , been working all his life for Claus of
Spreckels J and that he intended from
Unit lime forward to work for the Amer
ican people. It now appears that his
big refinery in Philadelphia has been
erected in the interests of Havemeyer ' s
trust . in order to kill the trade of two
Philadelphia , : sugar refineries who have of
been deaf alike to the blandishments
and the menaces of the Brooklyn sugar
boss. As s.ieh an explanation is pre
cisely in accoidance with the past life
Claus Spreckels , he will now be rec-
oniz.-d , not only as a most arrogant 8 %
monopolist , but also as a monumental |
liar.
The thirteenth regular appropriation
ills passed by congress and signed by
. president , amireirate § 277,200,000 ,
against $243.SG0.000 for the fiscal year
lb87S8 , $230,550,000 for the year
13SG 87. The tendency to a steady in
crease of the expenditures of the gov-
\
eminent would seem to be nearly as jcn
pronounced < as the steady increase of its
revenues. A difference of about $41-
000,000 in two years seems to require
explanation , if not to excite some sus
picion of extravagance. The most
striking points of difference between the
appropriations passed at the first ses
sions of the Forty ninth congress , and
those passed at the first session of the
Fiftieth arc these : For pensions.$5-
000 more has been required , the
river and harbor bill appropriates $ rf , -
000 more , there is an increase on
fortifications of about $4,000.0(10 ( no
appropriation under this head having
been passed two years ago ; the navy gets
$7,000,000 morethe postofnee $0,000 ;
and the civil service bill is nearly
$4,000.000 in excess of 1S80 S 7. The
items in this list which challenge
criticism are those of the river and har
and sundry bills , there is at le.T-l
to be said about the river and har
bill that it coversin part the failure
pass any bill at the previous session.
