' The Mississippi river is an unaccountable
and unreasonable stream. Jt is now
jpthreatening to mm over its levees and. souse
' New Orleans. Our rivers are not tbat way.

iA deal of 'time may be taken up by the
coming congress in efforts at legislation
on the financial question. Secretary Gage
has a plan of currency reform which will
" probably be submitted, but the senate will
' pigeon bole it, and 'if any silver legislation
-is attempted it cannot pass. the house.
The mention in .the Gazette yesterday
morning of the Inefficiency of city lighting
has called forth many expressions on the
paTt of citizens as to the most efficient
means of producing light. 'Not a tfew are
4n favor of the use if lightning bugs as an
illuminating power, while others claim that
' fox fire, being an all around commodity, is
much more available and can be obtained
at a much less cost than the lightning
bug. The Gazette has no other motive
than a proper lighting of the city and
willing for our city authorities to select
the mode. All we "want is light.
-At the meeting of tbe directors of the
North Carolina railroad in Charlotte
few days ago, it was learned, according to
the "Observer, f rom one of tlheir number
!Lnat tine board nas paw out for lawyers'
fees, court expenses, etc., abou:t $4,000
As the state owns two-thirds' interest in
this road 'the people at large will lunder-
tetland ; that they have paid two-thirds of
tthis i $4,000. But the trouble and expense
to the people does notl end1 - herei On
Thursday at Columbia 'Judge Sknonton re
manded the lease case to Special OMiaster
Craige, and it will go on for some time
yet. In. other litigations the people's mon
ey is being generously , doled out by 'the
governor, who has , six lawyers employed
to assist the attorney general to tihe case
of the ."Western Union Telegraph comlpany,
and a lawyer who is thoroingbly familiar
with this litigation estimates that It will
'cost the state $6000 before it is. finisbed).
If f his state wins the case two per cent,
of Its population will be benefitted, while
the ninety-elgM peri cent, 'who never re
ceive nor. send a"itelegram, will foot the
bill. . It' is reported ithat tihe railroad com
mission has . very little confidence to Its
case : against tihe telegraph company, s and
there has been a report that the commiS'
, bmjb .was entertaining a proposition for a
large (increase In, taxation from the com
pany in consideration -of the latter's rate
being left as It is. '.The Observer remarks
that it lhasvmo objection to "the telegraph
7 rate being reduced, but on itthe contrary,
woum itseii pe a great gainer thereby, but
- If ; the rates are- to be reduced it seems as
' If the end might be accomplished for less
than $6,000 and if . the commission loses
' its suit there Vill be a clSar loss of this
.miuch (to the tax payers, with nothing
ever to show for it. . J ' -
, -jtjut 'now ever ,uie case 'may go," con
cludes our contemporary, "it is an unde
niable fact that, the, state of Nor.tlh Caro
lina has an expensive luxury in, Governor
' Russell. - He runs with Jhe throttle wide
open, and - with a sublime Indifference to
'public expenses." ' ' -
. ' . MORE ABOUT' PENSIONS. " -
Just now'wheri the problem of a big de-
:.-''- "-" 1, - I J -
flcit 1 in -the national treasury cdnf roots
congress the outrageous extravagance and
'evil of the .pension-business is exciting
'general comment. - The .Wtottngton . Mes-
Bemger under "the heading" "Blood Suckers,
lays it on 'the tnquitous system as foli
Iowa: . '- ' - ; -r,
"The secretary of . the j Interior' reports
tihat .his r departments requires $156,532,419
for (the next fiscal year. '.President Buch
anan1 W the government most 'ef
ficiently . with a.'total outlay of not more
than $80,000,000 andl . in all departments.
Now it takes nearly twice that sum to run
Just one department. If the people wijl
look at the public expenditures so' enor
mous and oreasonable-hey -' will see
much . of the7 cause of the burdens they
bear. They are' really taxed' five dollars
where they ought -not to be taxed two.
So they are practically roooea. ox anree
dollars every time they pay five dollars
of taxes; whether to the sheriff, town treas
urer or in tpurchase of merchandize, ' or
rather In all those " combined. , : Secretary
Bliss, tor Buch is his name, buit we do
not , know that witn Him ignorance as
Bliss,' as a! poet once wrote, states tihere
are 200,000 pension claims till to be set
tied. This year more than 50,000 . new
names have been; added. Think of that,
ye tax paiyers and burden! bearers. Thirty-
two years after the war ended) in less
tihan nine months over 50,000; new. blood
suckers . were "turned' to loose to devour the
earnings of the people. It is a despicable,
devilish outrage, nad they are very vicious,
unprincipled' politicians who fasten that
outrage upon a long-sufferdng people, the
most of whom are sweating and toiling tajyl
and night for the bearest living. The seer
retary Bends out the cheering Intelligence
that some 100,000 of tfhe claimants will get
In, and thus the taxes will become more
swollen' and tJhe eating sore more., intense
and unsufferable. The demagogues, are me
responsible agents in this consumated
wickedness. If we had no other cause for
abominating tihe ' old . rotten, reckless re
publican party, its extravagance and' wrong
doing in the .pension swindles wouiu oe
enough to Justify the "dislike. It is gan-
greened from lead to foot. It was born
In sin and will die in inquity.

TOPICS OF TQDAY.
i .
Republicans are worried, remarks the
Augusta Chronicle, because tJne lmgiey
bill does not pan out according to the pro
gram, and because Uacle Sam's treasury
is not in a condition .for successful loot
ing. - '
Mississippi is shipping cattle Jto Colora
do. -Mississippi is destined to become the
breeding Tegion for tbe ranch country of
the northwest, ifor the reason that she is
able to sa.ve 90 per cent, of the calves
there, whereas they xloose more tJhan: 40
per cent, -in the north.
Governor Tanner ot Illinois, will have
to be reprimanded. He has made a public
statement that the public institutions of
the state cannot be operatedi at as low
cost as under Governor Altgeld, because
the Dlngley tariff law (has permitted the
price of supplies to advance all alorng the
line. Working people are having the
flim ftToerience in the maintenance of
their homes, but there has been' no in
crease in income. , The monopolist mana
gers are covering the increase entirely in
to their own pockets as tribute.

"The unanimous opinion of Darktown,
says the Pbiladelphia Press, "is tbat the
skin grafting from a 'possum to a man in
Chicago is a willful waste of mighty good
material."
"Remarking upon the (fact disclosed! n
the report of the secretary of the interior
that there are still in the possession of the
United States government 1,35,460,638
acres of unsettled land, which would make
more than 11,000,000 . homesteads of Vl60
acres each,, the Philadelphia Record says
that "still tbe earth-bungerers are not con
tentbut cry for more land "in Hawaii and
Cuba." : It is incomnreihensible. Senator
Morgan says we need Hawaii for the pro
tection of Alaska, which is 3,000 miles
away, and the Xiouisville Courier-Journal
thereupon says that, "having annexed! Ha
waii in order to protect Alaska, of course
we shall have tojannex Australia to pro
tect Hawaii, and annex the moon
in order to. protect Australia- Oaf
national bird was not called a spread
eagle for nothing.-jCharlotte Observer.
'Ex-Pos'bmaster General (Wilson, now
president of Washington-Lee university.
says he is delighted to be out of politics and
has no de'sire ever to' re-enter it. . He de'
scribes (himself as a very hap-py man. ; Aa
to this the Chattanooga News, remarks
To the average7 American citizenvwho is
out of office this may seem to be a strange
admission, (but to the' 'man who has ,; 'been
in politics a nunaiber of years or wbo, has
closely observed the lives of. politi'cians
it , will be readily understood. No real
business brings as ' little real satisfactioin
and few' calUngs are less lucrative. The
same amount of energy amd ability, neces
sary ,to win an"d' hold; a considerable foffice
will bring In far -more financial returns
In almost any legitimate business or pro
fession. It is difficult, (however, to realize
tbis until' the office-seeker is completely
into politics, and' then -he flt for litlfle
else. . There Is many a chronic office-seek
er who .wishes he nad never consen'ted to
become a candidate - the first time just
as sincerely as the drunkard regrets his
first drink. ' '- ", '
