March out on People wh don't need it nave f money. plenty Think of tbe wasted thunder in the senate chamber. A man just trom Chicago says Albany is good enough for him. It continues to be a very uncertain quantity what Uanna will get. The man who gloats over another's misfortune is a wretch indeed. Two big New York biscuit trusts have been having a war. It is to bs hoped some one got burned. Daring 1S06 in Washington there were S145 births, 2311 deaths and 2133 mar riages. A good record Tbe Sugar trust makes $20,000,000 a year off the people. That comes pretty near being robbery. A town in Arkansas is called Credit . It mas. be a murderous place. Credit has killed many a business man If the presidential election was to take place today the result would be materi ally different from tne recent one. After all congress has not dons anything itself. It has been trying to do a great deal; bat has failed in nearly every in stance. We must take thing as ihey come and make tbe best of them the Dem ocrat doesn't know of a .much better policy than that. "Where Ignorance is Bliss" very cute ly says an exchange, which suggests that eastern men sometimes should mind their own business. Wade's anti-trust bi 1 may be a good thing, but it evidently will not have a chance to 'paTSs. There is undoubtedly too much trust and trusting, considered from any aspect you please. A gentleman in the office this week made his thirty second annual payment for tbs Weekly Dkmocbat, paying a year in advance. His record is a clean one and he always receives a long credit mark together with the others who do likewise, even if they have not taken the paper since it started A late president of one of our colleges once said, "The habit of standing id is, waiting for deal men's shoes kills the life in many s rich man's son. It is a paralysis of body and mind. I can pick out nearly everv boy in this college whose idea of life is to spend the money which somebody else has earned. His looks, bis acta, his talk, are infected with a dry rot." The future prosperity of our country will depend more npoa good schools than any other element. The future education will bave in view not only tbe knowledge of the student but as well the character. It is coming to be thought as much thep-ovioce of ths school to make good men and womsi as smart ones. The improvement of the world is to be through the proper development of the child. The Prineville Review tape Brother Diver on the shoulder as follows: I D Driver was a disappointment. In tbe first place be is a crank ; and second he don't know anything. He was so foolish as to revamp the old anarchy charge against those who did not agree with him, and tbe way be was roasted from that time on was a caution. Yon see, he charged bis oppooeoU with be ing anarchists, a lawless mob, and then made a passionate plea for tbe senate to disregard ths provisions of the constitu tion in reference to a quorum, and, law or no law, proceed to take a vote on sen ator, and the way be was scored was fnn for tbe boys, and tbe way it hurt was j evidenced by the way be squirmed. Kosslana. ' A correspondent of tbe Tomahawk gives the fol toeing interesting facts: Bosstand is now a town of 7,000 people, and it is invariably described by those wbo ought to" know as unquestionably ths most active and promising new min ng center in tbe world of today. Its growth to its preeent proportions has been almost magical, for witbin less than two year Its population bas been mul tiplied by at least one hundred fold, and its visible and known wealth in mineral bas risen daring about tbe same period of time from practically nothing to hundreds of millions of dollars. Then there was not a paying property in tbe district and upon none of the few loca tions then made bad any considerable amount of development been done. Now more than a, score of mines in and im mediately adjacent to tbe town have reached soch a stage of development as entitles tbem to be designated a pro ducers, and many others give promise of soon entering that class. It is needless to say tbat this rapid rise in tbe fortunes of Rossland in particular and of Trail Creek camp in general has brought with it quickly acquired wealth to many in dividuals. .Of three who have grown suddenly rich from Borland mines. psrbaps the most noticeable instance is that of Judge George Tamer, of Spok ane. Mining is not tbe only means of mak-? tng money here, lor real estate bas "gone op" in Rossland during the past two years from an average value of nothing per lot, t J a present maximum valne of not less than $8,000 for a 30 foot f rontags on Columbia avenue, . the principal business street. According to location real estate values all over the original townsiie have during tbe same time increased proportionately, and no one believes bat tbat. values will cootinus to enhance until very high figures bave been reached. Fortunes bave already been made here by merchants and hotel keepers, too. and more will be made in tbe same way. No one acquainted with the situation will dispute, that indica tlons all point to the probability, yes, to tbe certainty, tbat the population of Reseland in six months from now will be three times greater than it is today. We all know what tbat means to tbe man of energy and experience who em' braces tbe opportunities always offered by a boom, for money leaking. But, of coarse, tbe big money in this and other sections of British Columbia has been and will be mads in mines and mining stocks, and in these lines will doubtless be tamed tbe attention of a large majority of those who seek fortunes in this section, for years to come. Try books. I'awson once oa school Bill's In Trouble.

Post. Ths woman's suffrage bill was refused a place on the calendar in the Kansas legislature, being killed in the committee. Tbe more eastern men nave tried to interfere with Webloot politics the w oe s they have made matters. They sort o' need Mr. Psnnoyer to tell them to mind their own business. After all that Bradley Martin ball in New York City last week was simplv a vulgar display of wealth. As a party it was a very dry affair, with' ut a bit o' fan, and little enjoyment. We have been bearing right along About bow lbs White Swan mine near Baker City has been paying immensely, and vet recently liens amounting to 14500 were filed against it for debts. Evidently there are some mining liars np aronnd Baker City. Both Cornell ani Fitxsimmons are telling bow easily they are goirg to knock the other fellow oat. They know jast bow to do it. All of whcb makes o ie very weary from a pugilistic standpoint. The great fares is nearly over, from tbe present oat look. Tbe present s sion has been a Mitchell and anti Mitchell one from the start, with the pro and eon contingent inside tbe republican party tse!f. The senatorial coolest is at the bottom of tbe Thole trouble, and time will only emphacise tbe placing of tbe trouble directly to tbe credit of lbs Mitchell and Simoo factions. Tbe di grace is a keen one. Haory O- Osvtmeyer in the great sugar trust case answered tbe following two questions nesrly together "Are you solo to control tbe prodact or fix tbe price of sazar in tbe United Stales?" "Ws are not." "well, tbee yon control tbe oo'put and the price of refined sugar in the United States, do yon not!" "We undoubtedly do." The latter is undoubtedly tbe truth. and the people foot tbe bill. Governor Lord addressed tbe following letter, in behalf of tbe Indiao war vet erans, to Speaker Reed, of the natiooal bouse of representative : "On behalf of the veterans of the Indian war el 1555 6, in Oregon and Washington, I bave the booor to request your kiodly offices in bringing into consideration in the bouse of representatives the favora bly reported senate bill for the relief of these veterans.

A number of replies bave been sent by members of tbs legislature to Cornelius N.

SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS A good msny papers coming to the Dkmockat this week have had a good deal to tav about raising sugar beets. I there is money in them the mire the better. t us raise suuar beets and Postmaster Craig, otKuuena, certainly jumped into the -Ore when he used the government's money to pay his honest debts. It Is a splendid thing to want to pay one debts, and ths man who makes ths effort is deserving of commenda tion and of being patted on his back more than any cat, but stealing tbe money in order to do it can find no jus tification in the Dkmocbat'b moral code Mr Craig should have thought again until hi head almost burst open and have concluded to do the honorable thing. A good rule to follow is to never use money belonging to another person, no matter now small. Ksep trust funds absolutely separate, not mingling them witbyonr own. You cannot fairly do any thing else. When a man who has lived an honor able, upright life, meets with financial reverses, he deserves ths sympathy and best friendship those around him can offer. No member of the legislature has beeo criticised more generally and severely than Rev. Driver . Even his iwn partv papers tail to have a good word lor him. The tjroth is he is an impracticable, childish man, with a poor balance wheel. Intellectually io a general sense he is a man of great calibre, but specifically be lacks those practical qualities that make tbe good legislator. Hinisb-rs are loo apt to fly off on tangents when it come to public matwrs, and it is not certain but what they bad much beuvr kn-p oi of politics. We need good mn in gov ernment affairs but they shontd be prac tical. Of course there are some lawyr who are just as wh!maicala Mr. Privr, bat not generally.

Another billion dollar ennprras! At-1 though the exact Sgore cannot be given until tbe last appropriation bil has beep passed, i is already known, and admit ted by tbe republican chairmen of tbe committees on appropriations of both boa re scd senate, that tie total appro priations will not ooly exceed one billion dollars, bet that Ihey will go enough beyond that amooot to break tbe high water record msd by the previous billion dollar republican congress by ao alvance of thirty or forty million dollars.

There la Utile doubt that tbe republican leaders bavs ailoe the appropriations to pile up, although spparestly fighting far economy by shut ting out bills seen tor tte smallest pub lic building. In order tomak the deficit ! big enough to excuse the tariff bill they are engaged io concocting. Ia a speech made by Pension Com missioaer Murphy, in'snewer Io resolu tions commending bis administra'ioa ol tbe Pension Buresa, presented by a committee from two Pennsvlvanta U . A R. Posts. Mr- Murphy told for the first time in public, the instructions given him by President Cleveland wben be appointed him commissioner of penioo. Whatever may be one's opinion of manv of his other politic, it is difficult to see how any man could have ontliued in a faw words a more iust sod patriotic pen. sion policy than president Cleveland did when be said to Commissioner Marpby Mr. Morpby, I think tyoa know my ideas of ths Pension Bureaa and Ibe pension system. They are jot these: In claims comiog,np for tbe aciton of the Bureau, where you find the cae of a orthy soldier who aervrd bis country fsithfully in ber boor of danger, you will be lenient with him and give htm tbs benefit of a reaeocable doubt. Io set tling the claims of thswidoss and orphans, yon will act io the same man ner, not waste no sympathy on tbe un worthy." It should be placed to tbe credit of Mr Cannon, Chairman of the bou-e commit tee on appropriation, that he reported adversely tbe resolution appropriating $500 for the erection of a stand for tbe use of senators and representatives and tbeir families on inauguration day, on tbe ground tbat senators and represent- a'ive should psy for seats, just as other people do, if tbey wish to sit down to view ibe ineagoral parade. Senator Quay Is reported to have a letter written by Mr. Hanbs. before Me Ktnley's nomination, demanding that tbe Pittsburg Iron and Steele Manufac turers put np a Isrgs sum of money to be nsedln Mcldnley's behalf, and to bave threatened to make it public if tbe McKiole 7 crowd attempt to get to gay withbim. Qiay i now in rer nsTl vanla. where he went to help his ton 'Dick" ont, in the libel suit, which has been thrown on his shoulderr by th publisher of a Pittsburg paper. When a democrat, or a popnliet, uses such. language as Representative Calder head, a good Kansas republican, did before tbe houss baoking and currency cimmittee, of which he is a member, certain republican editors invariably call it "anarchistic raving." The text of Mr. Calderhead's remarks wss tbe bill nsming thirteen American millionaires, among tbem Andy; Carnegie and .PLil Armour, as incorporators of tbe "Inter nation American Bank," with authority to establish eight branch banks In other countries. This bill or a similar ooe bas been before this committee in sever al congresses, and it eras only when an attempt was made to push it through the committee when Mr Calderhead spoks sgalnst it, in part as follows : "The whole United States is in a condition of unrest. Tbe uuderhalf of the country believes that it is injured, and injured largely bv the power of aggregated wealth. The actually believe it, Tbey believe it to such an extent that large areas of tbe country need nothing but a leader of ability to give us an insurrec tion. That is ths truth, and that is the political storm that will follow any at tempt, direct or indirect, to incorporate ths men named here into a private bank with a capital of millions of dollars, and the plea that it Is dons for tbs benefit of international commerce will not answer I tbat mob for it Is a mob which only j needs a commanding general to lead It. If tha leader should happen to have the ' military Instinct, it would mean civil war."
