TbdtfataagaDonbcrat Jhurcdajr Dec. 5t 1S95. The republicans will again take control ot the House ami Senate, and what can the jieo gfe expect in the way of re form of any kOd to relieve them of the great burden of taxation? It is , a noticeable fact that the republican par ty, when in power has inva riably increased the expendi tures of the government in both State and Nation The expenses of every , branch of the entire govern ment have been increased by the republicans. They seem 4o be indifferent as to the consequences. They ran up the pension list to the great number of 060,544, and to the enormous sum of f 180,- , 000,000 in one year and this greit sura and number thir ty yearn after the war closed. The democrats got unmeas ured from them for rutting dowr the great sum being ex pended to 1141,450,000 for the current year 1895. The United States has a greater list of the pensioners than all the nations of Europe. How can any government stand such an enormous sum for pensions? No wonder the rev enues are not sufficient to meet the expenditures. The coming Tom Reed Oongtess will no doubt increase the amount if Cleveland doesn't interfere, and will raise the tariff to meet the payments. The object of' the republicans in keeping up this grea t swindle is to hold the soldier vote by voting hundreds of million of dollars to these pensioners, which now a mounts to near one million of men. Of coarse Una mill Jon of men who receive the pensions will still vote for the republicans and so will sever eral million others of their kind who are benefitted in a like manner. We conclude that we Are doomed to many years of such swindemg. . The great victory of the re publicans in thelateelections has not improved the busi ness by any means. Products are lower; wheat, corn, lard, pork, cotton, iron, steel and leather are lower, and gold exports have reached near $10,000,000. Tbfo Joes not look like a great republican yictory has increased busi ness, but on Hp contrary , has retarded it. We will look with great misgiving for our fu ture pospects. We hope, how ever, that matters will im prove and the country will , prosper as it has never done before. It does not matter who is in power so we a re hap dv and prosperous; If t h e republicans prove themselves more competent to run the government, they ought to be kept at it; but we must say that heretofore they have failed, and have heaped great burdens upon the people in the way of taxation. Another comet has recent ly bteu discovered by Brook, of New York, from the Lick ; observatory It in not yet visible to the naked eye. Per tin's comet has also been ob served by Aikin. Its tail is computed to he ten million . miles long. These comets, if they become visible to thenn ked eye. will frighten a great many people who ate suspi V ciously encliiied, though none ; of them have ever done any ; damage as we ever heard of. V .
