THROW MONEY TO THE WIND Dockery Says Congress Squan- ders Money Needlessly. Increase in Appropriations Has Reached the Stupendous Sum of $725,000.00 in Eight Years—The Present Congress Will Appropriate Over a Billion The People Will Rise up in Indignant Protest. Washington, D CU.

Congressman Dockery was discus- sing 10 the roow of the house appro- priations committee Saturday the rapid growth of public expenditures He made sowe statements, supported by recurds which should challenged the thoughtful attention of the people. “The appropriations for the pres ent session,” said he, “will probably be not less than $515.000,000, and that amount, added to the appropri- ations of last session, will bring the total amount of direct appropria- tions by this congress to the enor- mous aggregate of $1,030,000,000. “The committee on ways and means,” he went on to say, “is just now wrestling with the problem of inadequate revenues and excessive expenditures and is seeking new sources of income to meet the diffi- culty In my judgment the time is not far off when the publie con- scienc will be so aroused that the represertatives of the people will be forced to reduce expenditures rather than to increase taxation Itis ob- vious that the revenues are inade- quate to meet the present seale of national expenditures, but, if the ever increasing ratio of expenditures is to be maintained it will be but a |) short time until it will become nec esssary to revise the tariff again or seek some other additional source of income for the government This increase of public expendi- tures is almost wholly abnormal and out of proportion to the increase of Population, to the requirements of business and to the necessities of an honest and frugal admimstration. The average annual actual expendi tures for each fiscal year from 1875 to 1888, inclusive, for the ordinary expenses of government, not count- ing pavments on the publie debt, and payments out of nostal revenues was only $257.863,714. The aver age for the same prposes for the fiscal years from 1889 to 1896 in elusive, was $348 437499 That is the average annual increase of ex- | penditures in the last eight years has been $90.573.785, an agere- | gate increase of the stupendous sum of $724.590.280 in eight years, as/ compared with the preceding four- | | teen years. “The unwarranted and riotous in | crease of nations! expenditures,” ‘added Mr. Dockerv, “is further | shown by a comparison of the ordi | rary expenditures for the fiséa! year ISS86 with these of 1898 The total z 1886, exelnd these p ‘in actual ecirentarion penditures that will materially This wasa suit on a note of hghten the hurdens of taxation.

The Democranie Central Commit. tee met at the court house Saturday for the purpose of arranging for dates for bolding township conven tions to select delegates to a county eovvention to nominate a school commissioner and also to nominate candidates for township officers. Saturday February 27th was the dav fixed for holding township eon- ventions to select delegates to the county convention te be held in Butler March 5tb, to nominate a candidate for school commissioner. The committee recommen ded that at the township conventions held on Feb’y 27th, that township officers be bpominated. A basis of representation was fixed at one delegate for every 25 votes cast for W. J. Bryan and traction of 13. A resolution was adopted inviting all who voted for Bryan, and known democrats to participate in said con- ventions. The committee also passed a reso lution requesting Senator Ballard and Representative Ellis to work and vote for what is known as the Farris bill reducing railroad passenger rates. The New Secretary of War. The appointment of Russell A. Alger to be Secretary of War adds another undesirable character to the McKinley Cabinet. Alger bas a mili tary record. Up toa certain point there is nothing to be said against it. But the records show that Gene. Custer and Sheriden recommended the dismissal of Colonel Alger for absence without leave—practically desertion. Five days later Colonel Alver was discharged. That ended the military career of Alger. The rank of general was afterward picked up somehow or other, but the war record of Alger ended with his discharge for absence without leave To put at the bead of the War department a man dis- missed from tke service for cause, a colonel who left bis duty to visit Washington, is certainly not show- ing the proper respect for the honor able men of our army. Nor is it set- ting them aright sort of an example. —Kansas City Times. Gladness Comes Wit a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort ir the knowledge, that so many forms o sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health.

Mr. DeArmond took Secretary Morton to task for publishing at government expense a pamphlet en titled “The Farmer's Luterests in Finance” It was an array of stu tistics, showiug how each state iv the Union voted at the late election and pretended to give figures show ing the per cent of illiieracy in each Secretary Morton thus made outa detense of the gold staudard and expended public money to ridicule the people of the states which voted for Bryan. Mr. DeArmond’s arraignment of the gentleman from Nebraska was caustic and highly appreciated by the house It was as seyere a crit icism of a cabinet officer as has been delivered at this sessiou of congrese, aud it created a distinct sensation. The house passed the Indian ap propriation bill, but all interest in these two measures was overshad- owed by two very remarkable speeches, one made by Mr Grosve- nor, of Ohio. attacking ex Governor Altgeld of Illinois, and the other by Mr. DeArmond of Missouri, heaping ridicule on Secretary Mor tou for the recent issue of a pamph- let entitled “The Farmer's Interests in Finance.” Mr. Grosvenor’s observation on the Governor of Illinois were called forth by the latte:’s speech last week, in which he charged that Mr Bryan had been defeated by fraud and based his charg particularly on the enormous increase of the vote in Ohio, where, he alleged, 90, 000 votes were illegally cast. Mr Grosvenor was very personal in his allusions to Mr. Altgeld, laying at his door much grave responsibility for the results of the election. He declared that an appeal on the stump against Altgeld never failed to arouse the populace where all else failed. He then analyzed the Ohio vote and explaiued the cause of its increase, calling attention to the fact that the democrats in the state bad increased proporuiovately much more than the republicaus. | Mr DeArmond replied very brief ly to Mr. Grosvenor, but it was his subsequent attack on Secretary Mor tun which created the Seusation. | Mr DeArmond 1s @ democrat, au ar-| dent advucate of silver, aud there | tore bis attack on ua demucratic cabiuet official, who bad been most active on the gold side of the cou | troversy, excited lees surprise than it would otherwise have dune It already had been noized about that the Miesouri wember inteuded to wake an attack on the secretary, and the meobers eagerly crowded about to hear him.
