Trox has gotten himself into somewhat of a hornet* — Tax third party men in Ohio promise a fall ticket for tbe fall elections. They propose to have a candidate for govern or and a full legislative ticket in every county ia tbe state, and one of their leaden is quoted as saying that they propose to beat Sherman for re-election to the senate. Srrna convicts at Cole City, Ga. made a break for liberty Monday, and while two escaped three others were killed and two eaptared. Two of tbe guards were also killed.

This is a year of education for our mem bars, aad they want all the light possible thrown upon the great economic qnaa- tions of tbe day.—Southern Alliance !■ Swuron Casusi.s has been as real- oaa aad as faithful an advocate of tariff reform, a tariff for reveaue for the actual needs aad necessities of the gov sraumat, as Mr. McKinley bat been for a protective tariff for the sake of a favored few. I lean interview the other day the distinguished senator said that In his opinion it would ba “exceedingly bad policy to permit tbe silver question to hcoowi a paramount oos in 1802.” He . said that it Was a question upon which there are ho neat differences of opinion ia the democratic party, while there are other questions of equal or greater !m pbrtaoce upon which the democrats are thoroughly united. In his judgment it wopldbe wiser to concentrate the whole i strength instead of dividing TB1 NEXT PRESIDENT. . "Who will be the next president of the United States r A prominent democrat of Americas, who has long held such position as to make him a good observer of the drift ot events, says that he will be Reland Stanford of California. “The democrats,” said be, “will not nominate Cleveland, because of tbe fear that ha cannot cany New York, but will put up Fill, or some other compromise man, who can’t carry Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana and other close states, and will, therefore, fall to elect their "The republicans have had enough of Harrison and will fear to nominate Blaine, because the same causes that de feated him in 1885 may do so again. "Inland Stanford is a man of ability, worth one hundred millions, and has a .. jpod record, is acceptable to the repub lican sIHsneeaean because of bis favor able position on silver, tbe tariff and the aab-traasury bill, and can carry SISTER-LN-LAWS PENSION. The democrats of tbe country, and probably some of the republicans also, have been perplexed to understand why the president should allow himself to be scandalized by the retention in office of that marvel of official crookedness, Green B. Baum, commissioner of pen sions. For a year or so the count, y has been hearing of the dishonorable end dishonest methods employed by him and bis sons for increasing their incomes from tbe government service, and the wonder baa grown that they were not dismissed from the service long ago— and the impression has gained ground that there must be some special con sideration that causes tbe president to stand by the Raums through all this evil report. Public cariosity regarding this mat ter is at last relieved by the discovery that Raum has been engineering a hand some job through his office for President Harrison, the special beneficiary being the president's sister-in-law. It was an old and worthless claim which had been urged on successive administrations without avail for twenty yean past. When Mrs Harrison's brother-in-law be came president tbe prospects of the claim were of coarse greatly improved. It only needed an unscrupulous man for commissioner to insure the allowance of the claim. No matter what the merits of tbe claim might be, be would allow it And of course foch a man would do many other things of a dishonest na ture, and a few of them happened to leak out and set tbe people to talking. The president and his sister-in-law must feel under lasting obligation to Commissioner Raum for allowing this claim, for it secures to the lady the neat sum of $8,239.92 in cash and an income of $33 per month daring the remainder of her life. And what was the nature of her claim? Why, in 1809, five years after the close of tbe war, her husband died of consumption, and, as he had served in the army, the wtdow conclud ed the ought to hare a pension. Twelve years having passed without her obtaining any favorable notice of the claim, she concluded to strengthen it by maintaining that her husband’s disease was contracted while in tbe army. With this pretense and all of General Harrison's influence nothing could he done with the claim until Ilarrison aa president, by the aid of hia tool, Raum, pushed it through. This is but a sample of the manner in whieh the tax-payers’ money is being squandered by the government. Almost any man from tbe north will admit that a small army of able-bodied men Is sup ported in idleness by the nation, being assured of incomes sufficient to support them during the remainder of their lives. The abuses under the system are of tbe most shameless description. But it all serves tbe grand purpose of neces sitating high tariff taxes and insuring to the manufacturers protection. The people cannot resist these extor tions, bat they can punish such cases of Individual rascality as Mrs. Harrison' pension represents. Tbe president hss caused hundreds of thousands of dollare to be put ia tbe dockets of his relatives, mainly In fat salaries. But the people will see to it that the Harrisons’ salaries are cut off early In 1803. BEALL & OAKLEY. BARGAINS!

There has been so much said pro and con of late on tbe subject, that it will be pleasant news to see some evidences of the activity of tbe city's officials in pre- ; tenting to the people an account of their ■ stewardship, so that the tar payers; may have au opportunity to judj, from j their own observation rather tha hear-j say, just what the facts are concerning: many matters of public conce a.

Every effort should be made to aid in getting at tbe bottom facts in connec tion with all the city's affairs, not for the purpose of putting blame upon any body for past shortcomings; but to bring about a thorough knowledge on part of tbe poople of all the questions relating to the city’s revenues and ex penses, so that tbe-proper methods may be set on foot by the taxpayers and vo ters to increase revenues aud cut down expenses. Now that tbe first installment has been given, the public will await with interest further news from the officials of the city. IIon. Jems A.
