The local paper is what gives strangers their knowledge of the charac ter oi the people of the country wfcere the papefr i? published, and in proportion . to the support given will the journal con <inct. The town t-hat is not able or which refuses to support its local paper lack the enterprise that will bring pros perity to the country and deserves to sink into decay. But the town that has ? a . live, fearless and energetic newspaper ?nud there are many of them, sends the intelligence all over the land, and the prople kaow thai such towns are thriv ing and prosperous. It Ls of course the proper thing to snbscrite for at least ?-ne of Use large. riaiiiw*, but the first duty of-the citizen is to support his local journal for the sake ef patronizing home industries if tor no other, but the return he receives wii) far oatmea*ure all that it will cost him- The press h?H Aver upheld the strictest priac^ptes-of morali ty, truth and justice, and citizens may we-l be proud of the many able expo nents of their principles.

The Senate is practically in. ^ ?:k-*I-loefc. andcrJess it can ? be Mro^-a all c i the democratic leg isii-uon which hss been promised the people will fall. This may ap pear to be a strong statement, bat it is strictly true. When the agreement was reached between those who fav^r end those who op pose the Vorhees repeal bill to pro long the debate umii all who had expressed & wish to fcpesk thereon jphaU have had an opportunity to gr> so ? two weeks or core?the acknowledgement was made that thfi Senate was in a dead-lock over that hill; th.it 1t was impossible to I *cf ce a vote. If a majoiity laigtr than that which the bill for the re peal of the laws authorizing Ped es ill interference with elections or the tariff bill wili have, cannot force a vofce, how can, a vote be forced upon those inensures, or indeed up on any others that may be passed by tire House aod opposed by the ?olid Republican vote in the Senate. That is the situation in a nutshell aud disagreeable as it is to Demo crats it is butter to face it than to pretend not to see it. Senators pretend to believe that a vote will easily be reached on the Vorhees bill 10 two or three weeks, but it should not be forgotton that the saine mea professed to be certain that the same bill tould be a law before tht 15ih of September.4 A way out of tbe present dead lock and a preventative of any fuiture dead-locks lias been placed ready made into the hands of the democratic Seuator's by Senator Piatt, of Gci&n. That Democrats should feel a -renugnance towards the adoption of Senator Plait's re solution providing for a cloture rule, which is now in tbe Lands of the committee on Rules, is prefect b) natural. Still, it would be well for them to keep that weapon where it can be used, if all other miethdds of proceeding with the business of the people shall fail. Hie democratic party expects the democratic Senators to pass the relief measures the party has pledged itscif to pass. jThe House by the very decisive yoie of 142 to 57 decidcd against al lowing clerks at $8 a day to each of sixteen House committees which rarely ever hold . a meeting or tran sact any business, and thus put it self on- recp*4-ai favoring economy in! public Expenditures no Baatter wttere the mo&ey is spent, and also itself in line with the administra tion which declared war against sinecures from the first day of its existence. Representative Holm an since lie bejqaoie chairman of the flobae committee ou Indian Affairs has gone into thejsubject of Indian ex penditures with - his usual .thor oughness, and he now announce* that material reductions may l>e made in every direction without injury to the interests of either the Indians or ths government, and fuirther that he intends to^ee that they are made in the appropria tion bill to be reported from this committee. It is fashionable to dende Mr Ho;man and his econom lal ideas, but it is to such men as he that the honor will belong of keeping tie democratic party from falling into extravagant habits which played ^important apart in driving the Republican party from power. As President Cleve land has truly said : "The people of this country must learn to prac tice economy, and the example must be set by the government." Representative McCreary ? los ing no opportunity to convince the members of the House committee on Coinage, to which was reierred his biil providing for the appoint ment of a joint Congressional and Commercial, monetary committee to investigate our entire financial !?ystem and- report where and how Improvements may be made, of the I necessity ot reporting it favorably to the House. The committee is still consideridg tbe bill. Representative Bynum has a bill providing for a graduated income tA.X, which h%k proposes to use his best eiforts to get reported to the House and passed. / The House will tomorrow take the Tucker bill for the repeal of the Federal election laws and the debate thereon will be continued until October 8th, when a vote wili be taken. The majority in favor* of the bill wili be precisely that of the Democrats on the floor the day the vote is taken, as it will receive every democratic vote in the House and it is not probable that am Democrat wil be absent that day unless necessarily compelled to be.
