The ac knowledgement was openly made this week in both Ilouse and Senate, and really amounts to putting in a plea of guilty of inefficiency for the Democrat ic party. Yet they still pretend to think that the people can be bambooz led into glying the Democratic party an opportunity to put the country still deeper into the hole, when the Repub lican party 'with its unbroken record of good management of tho govern ment's business and prosperity for all classes of our citizens stands ready to again take charge and put a stop to the increase in the public debt, which has been so great under the Cleveland ad ministration. When Republicans charged that Sec retary Carlisle waB witholding appro priations made by Congress and refus ing to pay claims against the govern ment upon the flimsiest excuses Demo crats denied both charges. Now comes Senator Gorman with a statement fully substantiating both charges and say ing that Secretary Carlisle was obliged to resort to such methods because of lack of money. Senator Squire's bills appropriating $8d0,000 for the erection of an eques trian statue of Gen. Grant, upon gov ernment land in the city of Washing ton! was this week favorably reported to tne Senate, and Senator Squire hopes to get it passed before Congress ad journs. He thinks it a shame that Congress has not long ago provided for a Grant statue, and has done his part towards getting one by introducing a similar bill to the present one in sever al Congresses, but circumstances of one sort or another have prevented any of them becoming laws. Senator Sherman tripped up Senator Gorman very nicely this week. Mr. "Gorman had just made a speech dealing with the enormous and alarming do? licit in government revenues his total was 1398,000,000 and concluded by throwing a few boquets to himself for having lessened the deficit some by preventing the original Wilson tariff bill from becoming a law, and declar ing that he was prepared to vote for any measure that would add $75,000,000 a year to tho revenues. Senator Sher man promptly challenged that declara tion by stating that tho House had passed a non-partisan revenue tariff bill, which would have added $50,000,1 000 a year to the revenues, and that Mr, Gorman bad led the solid Democratic opposition to it in the Senate. The only answer Mr. Gorman could make was that the bill was McEinleylsm. He then trd to make a point by ask ing Senator' Sherman if he would vote Jtora chtlyon tea and coffee, but Mr. Sherman squelched blra by replying: "No, I will not; for I rould not put tho whole burden of taxation upon those who drink ten and coffee. I nm wllllnp; to get the revenue from tho taxation of foreign (foods." n Senator Chandler's amendment to the Naval appropriation bill, against the employment of Naval officers, on the retired list, by Naval contractors after Juno 30, 1897 was adopted by a vote of 45 to 11. This amendment is odo of the results of the rccont investi gation by the Sonate committee on Naval affairs of the making of armor plate for the government.

B. Lyles, one of their special proteges, was forced to resign the position of chief clerk of tho Bureau of Animal Industry, of the Department of Agriculture, into which they had him put in tho early days of the administration. The result of the Illinois Hopublican state convention was not surprising to anyone in Washington who had been in a position to get an unprejudiced statement of the sentiment of the par ty in that state, but the declaration of tho Republican State Convention of Vermont for McKinley, was so great a surprise that it created a sensation among Republicans in Congress. What caused the surprise was that the Ver mont Republicans had never instruct ed for any candidate before, not even when it was known that the name of Hon. George F. Edmunds, then Sena tor, was to be presented to a national convention, and that Speaker Reed's friends had not even asked that he be endorsed by tho convention. S. InEorsol-Kettor. About 900 people gathered in Ply mouth church last evening to witness the simple wedding services which united the liycs of Miss Alice Ketter, daughter of Chris. C. Ketter, and Thomas Stiles Ingersoll. All day tbe weather had been threatening but the sun came out gloriously late in the afternoon and before 8 o'clock tho weather was all that the most fastidi ous bride could desire. The wedding was one of the prettiest and most in teresting that have dotted the thirty days of April and although very sim ple in all its appointments was ex tremely sweet and pretty. The ushers announced the arrival of the bridal party by fastening the long satin rib bons along the aisles, and immediately after the notes of thfiLohfinnrinnlinr,1'""' "ua u u, inue sounded through tLe church. Then the bridesmaids entered, moving slow ly down the right aisle of the church, looking unusually sweet and pretty in their simple gowns of white organdie finished about the neck with marguer ites. Each girl also carried a large bouquet of marguerites tied with long streamers of white satin. The maids met the ushers, who had come down tho aisle at the left, at the altar and, crossing them, took their places at the jj i i. .i- i i. ,,. sldo of the alter rail. After tbe maids and ushers had taken their places the bridegroom and Wm. James, who acted as best man, entered meeting Rey. Beach, the new pastor of the church, who was.to perform the ceremony, at the alter, where together they awaited the bride. Preceding the bride came two tiny flower girls, Edith and Hazel GutCesell, dressed in fluffy gowns of white mulle and lace, and the maid of honor, Miss Edith Mills, of Marietta, O. Miss Mills wore a very becoming dress of pink organdie over pink silk and carried pink roses. A wide fichue of the organdie, edged with accordion pleated ruffles was arranged gracefully about the shoulders, and 'ending in a ribbon belt The bride entered with her father. Her gown was exquisitely beautiful in Its simplicity. It was made of white satin and was trimed with a fall of old lace and it fitted the slender figure perfectly. Her full tulle veil fell in graceful folds to the very edge of the train and was caught high on the coiffure with a bunch of llllies of the yalley. She carried a large boquot of tbe same flowers tied with white rib bons. Nothing could have made a more effective setting for the bridal group than the simple arrangement of palms and llllies about the altar. The palms were arranged ivo form a partial canopy above the party and amllas and ferns trimmed the altar rail. Misses McCollom, Prouse. Rollo and Carleton wero thef jtSrldesJallcIs tancf Messrs. Robert Ford, Sam Morris, Dr. Phillips and Geo. Celden were the ush ers. After the ceremony a small re ception was held at the bride's home, 1219 nennepin avenue, to which only the most intimate friends of the young people were bidden After a short trip Mr. and Mrs. Ingersol will bo at home in the Knickerbocker flats, the first at home day being June 1.

Haskell & Company have their No. 1 on the Cornell lease down some 300 feet, and will put in the casing Thursday evening. They ought to be in the sand by Tuesday of next week. They have also made a location on tho Jos. Pethtlo. lease, a few hundred feet t6 the south east of TJonnell & Work's well on the Schauwecker lease. On the Long Run side of the ridge tho Great.

No. 1 on tho T. II. C. Reynolds lease was drilled in the first of the week, and is a fine well, with plenty of gas to flow the oil. It has been shot and is now being tubed. It is said to be cood for from 75 to 100 barrels per day. They have made lo cations for some four or five other wells, and a rig is going up for No. 2. Capt. McLaughlin has a rig under way for No. 2 on the Rodney Reynolds lease, and expects to be drilling by the middle of the coming week. He has several other locations made. It looks now as though there would be quite a field opened up on the waters of Long Run, as there is a large lot of untested territory there which looks to be "gilt edged" in the light of late de velopments. This territory is about one and one-half miles to the south east of St. Marys. St Marys Oracle.

Tho Victor Oil Company's well No. 1, on tho Julia Groves farm, out on Indian creek, was drilled in at five o'clock. The terrific flow of tho oil threw it up and over the derrick, making a beauti ful sight The amount of oil that was lost cannot be estimated, but up to eight o'clock they had no arrange ments made to save It. It Is good for 125 barrels per hour. This is tho largest strike recently made, and the Devonian Oil Company, who are drilling Kyle No. 3, on the ad joining farm, claim they will strike the same vein and get a well as good as the Victor's. It is expected in at any hour. On Friday of last week John Landon and George Hammett sold to the American Oil Co., of Buffalo, a half in terest in a tract of undeveloped terri tory in the Waverly oil field for the sum of 828,000.
