Just before the democratic senators held their csucus, to sgree upon minority representation on the senate committees '.be Utah and Mew Mexico boomers attempted to pack the senate com mittee on territores wtth men who would favor statehood. Aboutl that moment the matter was mentioned to President Harrison and it was lesrned he would not fsvor it. He believed that Utah ha d not suflicien'ly long enjoyed freedom from polygamy, and that New Mexico had aot a sufficiently large Amer ican cttisensbip, so a csmbinstion wss nude between Arizona and Oklshoms, and it Is ststed that not only quite all the leadingre- puDl'cani snd uemocrsts In congress have ex pressed approval, but also president Ilsrriion As to this verbal understanding," it hss no existence except in the "brain" aforessid uemocrals have no such screemeot verbal or otherwite.

Dec. 17, 1891. Rililori Democrat 1 Capltrllsts In Washington City Interest ed In procuring money from the treasury ot the United State to enrich Ihe private owners of stock in the Nlcsrsguan canal corporation," have sent out petition to various psrts of the country ssklng the people to demand that congress appropri ate money to assist the canal enterprise, Whl e, no doubt, the canal would be of great benefit to the coast, Is It not wrong In principle to tnke money from the nstlonsl treasury, money wrun from an already high taxed people, to build up a, or any, private enterprise. For the government to appropriate money lo btilld up the navy, government al bullclngs, and to I 'n prove a I property Owned by it in fee simple, Is not onlv con stitutional but Is proper and right, yet when the government goes bryond this and appropriates the people's money to aid private capiulllK,U,ln the humble opinion of your correspondent, not only unconsti tutional, but altogether wrong. The peo ple should be slow In pi-liil'MiIng congress to aid Ihe ''Nicarajjuan canal corporation,'' or any other private enterprise. There has already been too much special legisla tion for the private few and I'. Is certainly time a halt was made along thit line. It may be well counted on that if the canst enterprise will pay, a most people think It will. Hut private capital will build It, wthoui the people's money being used that way. Is it not wrong In principle to say becau e if some of the mine In the nstlon.tl treasury wss given to private cap italist thst they would build a structure thst would benefit u, an I therefore the money of the msnv should be turned over to a few for that purpose? Such a line of policy would afford an opportunity to every capitalist to knock at the vaults of "Uncle Ssm" ar.d tsy .forsooth, because, I hsve some tnonry, now thcrcfore.the Unl- ted. States must tax the people to raited a fund for use, that I may use It not to build a structure fur the United Slates but to build up an entctptlse that will enrich me Individually. A man might with an armtd ship steam Into the harbor of Rio Janeloro and isy lo the Brazilians, pay me a half million dollars or I will bombsrd your city. He might Induce them to pay htm a half million and afterwards bring It here and build up great enterprises of benefit to us, but would any one ssy that to acquire money In that way would be right because of a benefit to us. Now, when the money wrung from the people by taxes aie reck lessly psld out to build up frivol tUr- friu is not the government using the peo ple's money for purposes other than gov ernmentalIn other words Is not such a use of the nstton's money Illegal and wrong In principle? For the government to ts the people for any other purpose save and raise a revenue to carry on the ment economically administered Is stltutional, and when a tax or ti levied, not to carry on or build mental works and prore rty owned by the government, but to build up and protect private capitalists, then in the opinion of your coriespondcnt, the government uses its powers Illegal! and unwarranted under the law of or republic, and is simply as sisting In the perpetration of a fraud upon the people bv taking the taxe exacted from It citizens under the plea that the money Is needed for nub'.lc nurnruu. when. In fact, It Is diverted to the channels of the capitalist ot Ihe country who, by their becelnsr and corruntintr our national ra- I (statures have, so, far, blinded so many of of the people of our country a- to crest to sonr,e extent a sentiment, that the na tional treasury i a thing to be looted, and that the government of the United states U . .uirla !.-- L.i I1.L...IJ a TV.i to- ...g.. fine hs I AI th rsoMly.

The government of the United States should psy Its employes, Itssoldiers, and those who deierve pensions liberally; It hould, s It does, al way s meet Its obliga tions and take c: re of Its own property and attend to the matters delegated to It by the several states by their power of at torney, vis, the "constitution of the United States," but lo appropriate money to build up private enterprise never, no never, was such power given to it, Is the opinion of your subscriber. Geo. W. Wbioht. VV1IAT IT BtASS. The appointment of Stephen B Elklnsby 'rettdcntJIUrrlion to the war portfolio la Ignlficiant In more than one way. For years Elktna has been Blaine's right hand man. At the last three or four nationa republican conventions he has been on hand urging the nomination of Blaine So strong and Influential was he with Blaine's f sixes In iSSS at Chicago, that he led them, In the Jfinal move, to Harrison, Many will regard the appointment as In dicating that Blaine has definitely re tired from all hopes of ever being; presi dent, and, that he has turned his forces over to Harrison. Others will, with equsl reason, regard this move on the part of Harrison as a shrewd one to capture Blaine's 'principal lieutenant. Another conclusion, the most Important of all, Is that Harrison has decided to run the neat presidential campaign on the most ap proved plan of republican practical politics as represented by Elklns, Quay, Dudley and Clarkson. "Blocks of Five" and the pious Wanamaker's $400,000 corruption fund schemes will be tbe principal means used to secute the election of the next re publican candidate. There can scarcely be a doubt (hat the administration will boldly challenge the virtue and manliness of tbe voters of the country at the ballot box. Will the votera of the country be able to stand tbe test? It ia as If the per petulty of the government itself was being put to the test. , There can be no question as to what the result would be were the people left free to express an unbiased choice. The party In power would be quickly voted out, But the means of the party in power are potential and the re sult uncertain. Ia adtagrbstogni,phes A (ay Ovegsa.

The universal testimony Is tliat this prep aration has no equal a a drelnit, and Is, therefore. Indispensable to every well furnlshed toilet "I tiave used Ayers Hair Viior for some tinis and It has worked wonder for me. 1 was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly becoming bald ; but since using the Vigor my head Is perfectly clear of dandruff, the lmir has eeased coming out, and I now have s good growth, ol the same color as when I was a young woman. 1 can heartily recom mend any one suffering from dandmll or loss of balr to use Ayer's Hair Vigor a a . dressing."-Mrs. Lydla O. Moody, tast fittston, Me. "floroe time ago my wile's hair began to some out quite freely. Ayer's Hair Vigor w only prevented my wife from lieermiing bald, but It also caused an entirely new growth of balr. I am ready to eertily to this statement before a Justice of the peace." 11. llulsebus, lewtoburgli, Iowa. "Some years ago, after a severe attack ot brain fever, my balr all came out. I o.sed S'U preparations for restoring it as my phy sicians ordered, but failed to produce a growth of hair. I tlien tried, succew.ivly, several articles recommended by dnipgtut, and all alike fell sliort of accomplishing the desired result. The last remedy 1 applied was Ayer's Hair Vigor, which brouglit a growth of hair in a few weeks. I think I used eight bottles In two years; more thsn was necessary as a restorative, but 1 liked it as a dressing, and have continued to use it for that purpose. I believe Ayer's Hair Vigor possesses virtues far above those of any similar preparation now on the market-" -Vincent Jones, Kichmond, lnd. Ayer's Hair Vigor F BETA BCD BT DR. J. C.
