[EEE SS A general depression and neryous ness is noted in stuck dealings by Bradstreet, due to the decision of the government not to issue new bonds. The democratic central committee of St Clair county met at Osceola Saturday and referred the matter of selecting postmasters back to Con- * gressman DeArmond. Ed The failure of a banking friend at Youngtown, O., involved Governor McKinley on notes to the amount of 350,000, sweeping away the Gover- nor’s entire fortune.

Now let us hear from Mrs. Lease. J. Sterling Morton has been awarded the agricultural portfolio by Mr. Cleveland. Judge Culbert- son of Texas is believed to have been selected for the unassigned attorney generalship. News from Honolulu by steam- ships Belgic and Monowai is that all quiet. The American flag still floats over Hawaii, and the sentiment in favor of annexation with the United States is said to be growing. | THAT PINANOLAL STATEMENT. It was expected that the shallow | pated editor of the Union would| imake a howl about the financial | |statement When the | |crumbs slippivg from his grasp it is |no wonder he makes a kick and the) | people would have been greatly dis- appointed if he had not. But when he bases it upon economic grounds even the populists smile. Only ove! year ago the county’s affairs was in | possession of a populist court (the/ Good Lord deliver us from another such calamity) which awarded the printing of the financial statement) to the Union and Record at 75 cents | per square. There was no other bid, the Union to the contrary notwith- standing, as the democratic papers bad too much decency to try to} gobble up that which, by right of} conquest, belonged to the other pa pers. The Union and Record had their own way and charged 75 cents. When Judge Fix, the democratic member, protested that the court had paid the Democrat and Times the year before only 50 cents, Judge Connell said; “That may be, but this is the bid of our papers and I am going to stand by my colors.” But the present court acted on higher grounds than this. "The statute provides that the printing shall be let to the lowest aud best bidder In deciding on which is the best medium in which to adver- tise the financial statement the cir- culation of the papers must be con- sidered. We have no means of knowing the circulation of the Dem- ocrat, but do not hesitate to affirm, (and are willing to abide by any fair test to decide,) that the Tres has more Jena fide subscribers in Bates county than both the Union and Record. This may sound like .an idle boast, but we stand ready to make good our assertions. ‘ If the court makes all its other contracts cn the same basis it does with the printer, it gets its work fur from one-half to two-thirds less than what private individuals have to pay for the same work. The law allows one paper $1 per square for such work. The court is paying two papers only he sees | the pension roll. one half the legal rate, and each paper one quarter what the Jaw al- lows. The county court may be extravagant, but it is not in its print- ing bills when it gets its work done for one fourth what it is worth. No one knows this better than Mr. Aus- tan, who is a practical printer. Car- roll is not a printer but is what is commonly known as rodent, spelled and pronounced differently. The democrats are now assured of a majority in the next senate. The eyes of the world will be upon them and their acts will be scruti- nized and critised as no party’s ever was before in the history of our country. The one great idea which caused the revolution. the tariff, will have attention and a great reduction will be made in the tariff on the nec- essaries of life. But a very serious matter confronts the administration on the very threshold. A treasury which four years ago was overflow- ing with a surplus of over $100,000,- 000 is to-day depleted and there is no money with which to pay the ap- propriations of the present congress. The incoming administration will have to face this condition. Wheth- er it will necessitate the calling of a special session of congress remains to beseen, but whatever emergency arises will be met. The people have the utmost confidence in the in com- ing administration. —— SEE The silliest rot and most abject plea for fusion which has ever come under our observation is that pub lisked as a communication in last week's Union under the head “Straight” and signed“Countryman”. The “middle of the road” talk in- duiged in so flippantly in the last campaign is soon forgotten. They “crook the pregnant hinges of the knee” and in suppliant tones the dear republican is entreated to “gave us or we are lost.” No self- respecting party would do this and we do not believe that the best ele- ment of the populists even will en- doree it. EEE The Reading Railroad company, after a week of bear pressure on the stocks on various exchanges, has Purge The Pension List. sentatives an earnest appeal of Union veterans in favor of purging It urges the adop tion of the following reforms in the pension laws and the affministration thereof. First—The payment of pensions only to those who, by wounds or disability hase been actually disabled | in the service of their country, and | to the widows and orphan children | of such pensioners when in need. Second—A cutting off from the pension roll of all men, disabled or otherwise, who are in reciept of in- comes ample for their support ard maintainance of their families. Third—A cutting off from the pension rol! of all deserters and sol diers and sailors who proved false to their oaths and were dishonorably discharged from the service. Fourth—The appointment of the necessary medical and other exam ination boards to revise the pension lists for the purpose of carrying out these reforms. Fifth—The absolute discontinu- ance of all further legislation look- ing to the enlargement of the pen- sion list. Sixth—A cutting off from the pen- sion roll of all widows who shall appear upon reasonable evidence, to have married veterans with ihe fraudulent intent of securing a pen- after the death o! their husbands Seventh—The application of such portion of the saving made by these reforins as may be necessary to afford them a reasonable pretence to the increase of the pensions granted to deserving and disabled veterans who actually served and were honor- ably discharged, and of the widows and orphans of such veterans. Among the signers are Gens. Martin T. McMahon andW. F. Smith officers of all grades, and enlisted men. In his speech presenting the peti- tion Mr. Warner declared that he spoke in the name of veterans who were misrepresented by the dema gogic appeals of the advocate of the pension agents, and demanded that “whole pension system shall be as it ought to be, an honor to the country and a glory to its beneficiaries.” This is the whole case in a nut- shell Pensions are not only deplet- ing the Treasury, but are placing sid by side with honorable veterans the very offscouring of the war. The pension shark and pension cheat are touching elbows with brave and deserving old soldiers. They should be weeded out. The pension lists must be purged.--New York World. z To Be Court-Martialed. Topeka, Kas., Feb. 17.—Brigadier General Hettinger to night stated that Colonel J. W. F. Hughes will be court martialed. The ground for the court-martial -proceedings will be based upon the refusal of Colonel Hughes to obey the instructions of the governor to eject the republican members of the lower branch of the legislature from representative hall. It is not unlikely that other court- martial! proceedings against other officers, for refusal to report at To- peka for duty upon the instructions of the governor, will be instituted. The present trouble will no doubt be a death blow to the Kansas Na tional Guard, which has so long been the military pride of Kansas. Of the bills recently introduced, one of the most important if not the most important one of the whole session is Mr. Davis’ bill providing for a commission of three to be se- lected by the supreme court, to cod- ify and simplify the laws. If passed it will savethe state on the cost of printing alone, something like fifty thousand dollars, to say nothing of the larger and more vital benefits of securing a code of laws that will be brief, simple and easily understood by every citizen.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 19 —The vari- ous labor unions of Nebraska met in session here to-day to form a central State organization independent of Knights of Labor, which organiza tion was not invited to be present. About 50 unions from Omaha, Lin- coln, Nebraska City, Beatrice Fre mont, Grand Island, Chadron and other cities were present. A great deal of difficulty was experienced in adjusting and completeing the con stitution and by-laws. It was final- ly ugreed to run the organization independently of any other labor or fraternal association. The dues were fixed at $2 per quarter and membership fee was placed at $5 A Legislative Committee of five men was appointed to present matters of interest and benefit to the union be fore the State Legislrture. The president and other officers were made an executive committee. H P. Stein, a cigarmaker of Lincoln, was elected president and the other officers will be elect: d to morrow. WILL BE DEMOCRATIC. The Election of a Senator in North Da- kota Makes the Senate Safely So. The Republic Bureau, ) Cor. 14th St. Pennsylvania Ave. | Washington, D. U., Feb. 20. 1883. ) The election of Mr Nelson Roach to the senate in North Dakota to day was a pleasant piece of news to the democrats at Washington. It in sures the democrats control of the senate without either Wyoming or Montara, although hope is not yet lost that the democrats ia Montana will patch up their differences and reach a compromise and elect a dem- ocratic senator. Counting in John Martin of Kaneas, the democrats now have 44 members of tie next senate which is about half the body with the casting vote of the vice- president. There is no doubt, how- ever that Kyle of South Dakota and Little of Nebraska will act with the democrats on nearly all questions. It is also certain that Peffer will act with the democrats and so will Kyle and Little in admitting John Martin to his seat, if therepublicans should object. So there is no longer a doubt of the next senate being democratic and all branches of the government passing under the control of the democracy after the 4th of March. A DARK HORSE ELECTED. North Dakota’s Choice For Senator a Democrat. Bismark, N. C., Feb. 20.—W. N. Roach (dem.) of Grand Forks was elected United States senator on the sixty first ballot to-day. On the first ballot of to-day the democrats scat- tered their votes between Walsh and Judge Walling, with the minority republicans aud populists going to Walling. Miller received but 35 votes on this ballot, the balance di vided between Walsh. Walling, Ben- ton, Lamb and Muir. Qn the sec- ord ballot the democrats took up Roach, the regular caucus nominee, as per programme, and all the pop- ulists and democrats went to him. There being three members absent it required but 45 votes to elect. Winman, Sorely, Pierce, Haughen and all the republicans of the Walsh following then changed their votes to Roach, followed by Lamore,Coch-| exy ran and others.
