THE DEMOCRATIC REVERSE.
It is idle to seek to disguise an
LT ugly fact. Tfe plain duty of every
courageons and sincere Democrat is
to i.tok the results of Tuesdaysv
elect!in, in a number of the gieat
States of the Union, squarely in the
face. The Democratic party has
Ieen beaten in New Yorik, Iowa,
- Ohio and Massachusetts, and beaten
3 badly. Two of these States we hal
a right to clainm -New York and:
et Iowa; one, Massachusetts, we hail a
t reasonable hope of carrying. We
have lost all three of them.
Certainly, there were local ques
tions involved that militated against
the Democracy; but, conceding much
to the effect of such issues, the truth
remains clear as the suit above us,
, that a cause, operating over a wider
)f field than the boundaries of any
s State, a national cause, to be plain,
was at the bottom of Democratic
defeat in New York, Iowa and Mas
.e sachnsetts, and of the phenominal
e majority of the Republicans in Ohio.
sNot does it require the eye of a seer
t to see that cause. The American
!eol le are disgustel with the dis
sentionssof the Democratic chiefs,
andi with the imbecility of Demo.
e c:atic leadership in the Senate dur
idg t:he last two months. * * *
1 IIappily th:s fully has been commit
ted, and this defeat has come, at a
day which leayes the I)emocratic
s party time in which to repent its
folly, to regain the confidence of the
a people and to carry the congressional
elections in 1894. The Democrats
still holl the house and the Senate,
and, thank God, they have at the
head of the government a man whose
1 wisdom has never been at fault;
t who never listened to the suggestions
of conmpronmise, whose patriotism
has never faltered, and whose in
domitable heart has never feared to
s confront defeat in the fight for the
1 right. -States.
We are under obligations to our
worthy Congressman. Hau. Chas. J.

Gen. Leon Jastremski has been
appointed Umnited States Minister to I

delegation.
The recent assassination of Carter '
Harrison, Mayor of Chicago, by a
despicable wretch, says the States,

murders recorded in history. Of C
these the most graphic were the

Senate-house of Rome; of Henry the L

Bourbon kings; and of William of
Nassau, Prince of Orange, sometimes
known as William the Silent, the f
Prince platriot, warrior, statesman and a

One of the most interesting and im
"y portant assemblies ever held in the in
is terest of the tees took place Tues
si day in this city, the action tlaken to be
duly ratitied at Delta, La, Wednesday
t orning, by the Fifth Louisiana
te Levee Board.
as The most important feature of the
day's work was the result of a confer
a, ence between President Carlton and
Cni Commissionears Hill and Graves of the
t, Chicot county board, with the Louis
iana contmmistioners, through which the
construction of permanent lines of
a levees from the Louisiana line to
'e Sterling, and from Cariola to Brooks'
Mill, Ark., is secured. This work will
be done by Capt. C. McD. Town
s- send. United States engineer, out of
at the allotments for 1895 and 1896, and
b will be completed before the high.
water season of 1894, in which event I
Sthe Fifth Louisiana levea board will
, pay and has assumed under this
proviso 8 per cent. interest to the con
tractors for the work. The extent of
y the works cannot be stated at present,
,but will be considerable and their
completion will make the fifth dis
trict, as well as Chicot county secure.
A- The Arkansas levee board in return
a1 for the interest guarantee agrees to
expend $3,500 in enlarging the levee
from Sterling to Grand Lake crossing.
r This business -being happily con
cluded the Louisiana board proceeded
to adopt resolutions to the following
purport: Authorizing the president
, to contract for repairing Delta point
. levee, payable in bonds or warrants;
that the tax collectors be required to
receive the board's warrants in pay
ment of the cotton and acreage taxes,
t- and that the auditor be authorize(' to
receive such warrants; the ten mill
a tax to be reserved for interest on the
.c bonds and for the sinking fund.
.5 iOn this latter resolution Judge
Wyly voied no, holding the proposi
tion illegal.
il That the preaident be authorized to
issue $600 in warrants to the Provi
dence Lumber Company, for lumber
for reverting Wyly's levee; that $80,
e 000 in bonds be issued, $20,000 in de
e nomination of $500 and the remainder
for $1,000 each; 'hat $F,000 of the
revenues of 1893 and 1894 be set aside
s to pay the deficiency due on the com
Spletion of Salem levee, and that the
State treasurer be notified to set aside
this amount accordingly ; that Conm

appointed a committee to negotiate a
loan to the foregoing amount, to pay

I Meantime "he effort is being made
to construct an entirely new State
out of Oaklahoma, the Cherokee
Strip and several of the Indian reser
vations of the Indian Territory. A
bill to this end has been introduced
in Congress, and it contemplates the
formation of a State having about
700,000 inhabitants, and yet only a
few years ago this region was given
over to the Indians entirely, and no
one had entertained a thought of the
sudden and almost magical popula- a
tion of the section. It is a remark
able fact that in the rapidity with
which the country west of the Mis- a
siesippi has beern blocked out into
States during the last half century, a
there has been only one instance i
where the granting of statehood i
proved a mistake. That was in the t
case of Navada which, having noth- r
ing but a silver mining interest upon d
which to rely, has steadily decreased *
in populatton, so that at this time it
does not embrace one half as many f
people as there are in Orleans par
ish, Louisiana. C
The levee board of Orleans parish n
will ask the Mississippi River Com- '
mission to build spur dikes for the st
protection of the city front.
The damage to the orange crop in v
Plaquemine parish by the late storm,
is estimated at $500,000.

L Pension Money Saved.
During the long and uninterrupted
regine of the Republican party be
s- fore Clevelanid was first elected
President the pension roll was in
a creased to such an enormous extent,
that the annual expenditure of the
e governmentin pensions went way up
d into the millions. It was apparent
ic to every sensible man that a terrible
-I fraud was being perpetrated and
,l that Northern men receiving pen
o sions who were never in a battle
I from the beginning of the war to
the end of it. For years this swin
,f dle has been going on and the
d 'treasurv h been drained of nmil
t lions of da rs which should have
II been put to .some honorable use.
to Since the advent of the present ad.
ministration, a thorough investiga.
t, tion of the pension rolls has been
r going on and some large franas have
been detected and corrected by Com
n missioner Lochren. Under the
0 above heading the Times-Democrat
has the following to say:
It will surprise many to learn that
d the late overhauling of the pension
g list by Commissioner Lochren hill
save the government $128,000,000.
Thie Republicans have been disposed
to make a big row over this matter,
but the public generally considerev
it a small affair, and will find it
o difficult to believe that so large a
1 sum was involved. No better evi
e dteice of the magnitude of the pen
sion swindle could be plre-Ented than
e the fact that one minor reform has
saved the country so large a sum
enough to support the army and
navy for several %cars.
r The investiga' ionu of th le ,ensions,
as far as it has gone, showv that 25
- per cent of the 300,000 persons
r whose names were atdded to the rolls
e under the act of 1890 ought to be
permanently dropped from it,
having no right to the pensions
which they have been receiving;
and that 25 per cent more have been
given a higher rating than they are
entitled to. The average of the re
duction made in these cases is *36 a
r yeai, which for the 75,000 found,
or likely to be found, drawing ex
cessive pensions, will amount to *2,
700,000 annually. In the eleven
years during which these pensions
are estimated to run the expenditure
wouhld be $287,000,000. This is
saved in the reductions, while the
saving in the rejected cases is $94,
500,000-total $128,000,000. And
this result is accomplished without
detriving any veteran of the pension
which he is entitled to, and simply
by putting an end to fraud.
The magnoiticent result thus ac
coimplisthed o ightt to encourage the
Secretary of the interior and the
Commissioner of Pensimons to carry
their investigation still further in:
stead of confinining it to the act of
1890, and stop tile nunnerous frauds
that are doubtless being perpetrated
under the other pension laws. A
saving of over $100,000,000 is well
worth striving for.
A Woman of Business.
We were camped along side of an
emigrant train in Nebraska, and just
after supper a woman . about forty
years of age, who was smokintg a
pipe,. came over to our fire and sized
the crowd up, and said:
"I've got snuthin' to say. I'm a
plain-spoken woman. When I've got I
a thing on my minutl 1 don't beat
around thie hush."
We looked at her with curiosity and
Esurprise, and she leaned against the
wheel of a wagon and continued:
"'i've been a widder for three years.
Over thar I've got a span of mewls, a 1
good hoess, a new wagon filled withI
housekeepin' stuff, andl I kin rake up
about $80 in cash. 1 ciim along with I
the party to take up a claim. I'm
good-tempered, healthy, and can Oing
an axe or hold a plow with most'any- I
body. As l said, I'm a plain-spoken '
woman. If there's a critter among t
you tthat wants to get married, let hinm
stand up while I take a look at him."
''The eleven of us promptly stood up.
"Git into line," she continued, with
a wave of her hand. "I hain't alter
beauty or educashbun, but I can't take
iup with a fellow who'd skeer a wolf
to death."
She passed down the line and then
returned half way, and said to a mid.
die-aged man of the name of Reming- a
ton:
"Youi'll do, I reckon. There's a
preacher in camp, aul 'iwon't take
flifteen minutes to settle things. ll
of you as want to see me married
come on."
We followed the conple, who were c
made mian and wife inside of twenty
minutes, atnd next morning as we e
passed the wagon on thie road thel i
woman looked out and bowed and
said :
"Sorry for the other ten of ye' but
perhaps you'll meet up with the other'
train soon and strike luck."'-Loulso~

YANCEY BErL., Clerk.
A special from Watertown, N.
Y., of the 26th ult., tells this re
markable story:
That truth is stranger than fiction
has been strikingly exemplified by
the extremely remarkable and mys
terious series of coinciaences which
began many years ago by ushering of
William and George Winnegar into
the world together and just ended
by taking them both out again at
the same ieinute and in the same
way. The novelist would hesitate
before using such a plot. Twins at
their birth, they had been insepara
ble from the cradle. Neither one
had ever married. Together they
had pursued the even tenor of their
way in the little village of Dexter, go
ingevery yearon theirseason of trap
ping up Perch Lake. Their boats
were alike and their guns were alike.
They resemble one another exactly
in features and tastes. It was only
natural that th.ey should die to
gether. Last week they started-out
for their annual camp. On Friday,
however, somebody discoved Wil
ham Winnegar's boat drifting down
with the tide. Inside sat Winnegar
with his hands on the oars, appar
ently sound asleep. He was dead.
Further search revealed his brother's
boat only a few rods further down
the stream. Strange to say, he was
sitting up in his boat like his
brother, with his hands on the oars
in the same way, and he was dead,
too. Tents, outfit, food all lay in
the boats undisturbed. Here was a
mystery, and the wonder only grew
to-day when the coroner announced
that both men died from heart
disease. It was the same kind of
heart disease, too. On each one's
heart a tumor-had grown, both be.
guining simultaneously to grow and
producing the tragical climax at
probably the same instant. The
twins will be berried under one
tombstone with a common tuneral
and epitaph.
