Hi.:!
ai &zxnosxa.
Can It be gaid that the city council loves
darkness better than light because their
deeds are evil?
The legislative tesslcn is half over and
nothing very startling ha occurred yet
But keep your eye on l'asco.
Now docs the cily council come forward
and proposea to make the winter of our dl-
content glorious by making darkest Dixie
third warda howling wilderness by casting
Ha Inhabitants into outer darkness,
A citizen and tax payer vouchsafes the
suggestion that if there are to be bus nine
arc lights In the city they should not bj
placed On fir.t street but on streets farther
back where darkness is thickest.
The threat -made by republican senators
that they will adopt the cloture rule If nee
essary to secure the confirmation of Harrt
son's appointment lor Supreme Judge wilj
not likely be carried into execution as it
would apply after the 4th of March when
democrats will be in the majority.
Democrats in the legislature should bear
In mind, that, notwithstanding they are In
the minority and are directly responsible
for the kind of legislation given to the peo
ple, yet they are making records by which
the party will be judged In the state cam
paign in June 1S94.
It is broadly hinted that if suitabir terms
cannot be made with the electric light com
pany for lighting the cily that a number of
citizens stand ready to organize a company
and furnish light upon terms that the city
council deems reasonable.
It aeems pretty certain that the democrats
will control the next senate, in which case
the pledges of tariff reduction must be car
ried out according to the pledges made in
the Chicago platform. Let good faith and
fair dealing characterize the conduct of the
party In this regard and the people will not
hesitate to continue it in power.
No man In the United Slates is better
equipped to formulate a tariff bill expressive
of the will of the people as manifested In
the election of Cleveland, than Mr Carlisle,
and his appointment as Secretary of the
Treasury will be regarded by the people as
an earnest that the president elect intends
to fully redeem the pledges made in the
Chicago platform.

fair weather. From observations made for
six years past, he finds that many species of
orb weavers, which were colonized and
kept under close observation, make snares
freely before rains and storms, frequently
even in the intervals between heavy rains.
This a popular fallacy is destroyed.
IKOKPENUAM'S AND UEllOtltATS,
Judge Gresham is a type of 1I13 Indepen
dents whose support of the Democratic par
ty at any time and on any issue is warrant
that so far the partv :s deieiving the support
of earnest, Intelligent and patriotl: citizens.
To win the support of such men is a right
aim forany party; to forfeit it U a misfor
tune, ltecause the Republican party has
forfeited it that party is prostr.itc
It is sound encouragement, theieforc, to
know that Judge Greaham heartily approves
of the selection of Senator Carlisle to be
Secretaiy of the Treasury, lie regards it
as "a guarantee tlut the new tarifl bill will
give tariff reformers satisfaction." 1 lis enthu
siasm over this action of Mr Cleveland is
deep. He says:
Carlisle is a great man and knows all
about Irtetarif! and can make no mistakes.
I predict for him a successful career in Ihi
Treasury, and also In twn years 1 expect tu
see the linancesof the country so plain and
simple that a bov can read a statement or the
Ireasury and understand It. As ll stand
now the more statements we read of the
condition of the Treasury the less we krow
But Carlisle can be trusted and he will suc
ceed in bringing order out of chars, and if he
does he 11 my candidate lo- President in 1 896,
and there is not a man in the country that
can beat him lor the nomination and elec-
tloa.
Judge Gresham does not sreak, however,
as a Democrat who is a Democrat whether
the party is right or wrong In his ! judgment
For in the same Interview he defines his po
litical motives, and no doubt he speaks for
thousands mere to whom the party is Indebt
ed for its magnificent victory last November.
It is an utterance to which those who are
responsible for the use of the power Intrust
ed to the party should give heed:
want you to understand that I am a
Democrat only as far as the Democrats
go my way of thinking. That is to say,
that I am only a Democrat on the tariff and
economy positions. I consider the tariff as
the only great question dividing the two
parties. But should the Democrats fail to
keep their pledges, not one of these men
independents will be found voting the
ivciuubiauc UCKCl in 1090.
I "us vote is worth keeping. It can be
kept ty fidelity, It wll be Wfii
faithlessness.

Four weeks from next Saturday will be
inauguration day when the democrats will
take charge of all three departments of the
government. The responsibility will be a
great one and the united wisdom of the
leaders of the party will be necessary to
enable the administration to meet the just
expectations of the people. The greatest
good to the greatest number, equal and
exact justice to all citizens, and special
privileges to none, public office Is a public
trust, are rules which if faithfully adhered
ta will make the Incoming administration
a successful one, and one that will meet
the lieatty approval of the people.
In connection with thegreat problems of
revenue and cuirency which the new ad
ministration will have to meet, It will have
to give speci.il attention to the largest chan
nel of expenditure, that of pensions. The
pension service is now the one entirely scan
dalous branch of the Government business,
unless there are some other divisions of the
Depaitmcnt of the Interior that mpy he
ranked with It. It is a huge political ma
chine, scandalous not only in its lists of
pensioners padded with names of the unde
serving, but in its pay-rolls padded with the
names of Idle, incompetent or useless em
ployees and In its general inellkiency fur any
purposes but those of jobbing attorneys.
