ELECTION REFLECTIONS. In most of the municipal electione held in Indiana laat week and in a few other States, the results showed republican gains and a large falling off in the democratic vote. A different result was not expected by the intelligent and thinking voters of the democracy. The contemptible, the despicable actions of many of the leaders of the party have brought around this state of affairs. Take for instance the cowardly, the hesitating, the vascilating actions of our leaders in the Senate, on the \Vil6on tariff bill, and where can there be found men seemingly more time-serving, more unfit for their positions. The party everywhere is
angered
at them. If there
were a popular election now with Cleveland, Hill, Voorhees, Bryce, or Gorman as eandk'atep. not one of them would recoive a half of the party strength. They, one and all, are to blame for the unfortunate position the party now occupies, for the discouraging prospects ahead for the party, and the democracy would gladly retire every one of them into oblivion. Instead of taking hold of legislation with a determination to succeed and carrying out the party's wishes they have pursued an entirely different course, and brought it almost to the verge of ruin. Democratic principles if our present form of government is to continue must continue. They are the principles of Jefferson, Jackson and other great leaders of the party in the past, and are the principles of the people, but the party has lost faith in the men now at the helm, and these results of the late city elections in a half dozen States are the expressions of the people toward them. They have todied to patronage, to wealth, to trusts, and thrown the interests of the people to the winds. Their actions in the present session of Congress clearly shows this. The tariff bill could have been settled months ago in the hands of men with determination. A majority in the Senate that can do nothing is as good as no majority. A brighter day will come again, however, but the party must purge itself of the pigmies, the time-servers and the incompetent men who have heretofore posed as its leaders. We are facing a fact, not a theory, that to suceeed hereafter, a new class of men with brains and determination is necessary, and the party will cease not until they hare them at the head.
THE 00SEY MOVEMENT. The Coxey movament seems to be spreading and various "Generals" with from 200 to 700 men under their command are appearing in different parts of the country, and all heading for Washington City. It will not, we believe, be a cause for any particular alarm, and after a few weeks the "armies" will rapidly dissolve. Tramps and cranks are numerous of course in the movement, yet there are some deep reasonable principles among a mountain of foolishness in it. Thore are many thousands of men in this country who are idle from no wish of their own. There is something ante-dating this that arises from a time longer than a year or two past. Our law makers have seemed too often to consider th» wishes of those only possessed of much property, while the middle and poorer classes of the country have been forgotton. The tariff laws, the laws on financial matters, seemed to bo constructed for one claBB only. The wealthy do not rebel at their condition. It is the other classes that are injured. Is there anything to tie wondered at that anarchy, strikes, riots and troubles come so regularly? There would be little of these if the laws were just and equitable to all classes.
CITY INDEBTEDNESS,
The Journal stated a few days since that the indebtedness of this city per capita, was about 81.45. The falsity of the assertion was apparent to almost every one, yet. the Journal has never taken the opportunity to correct it, doubtless thinking many would believe it. Allow that Crawfordsville has a population of 7,000 people, not including the suburbs, according to the Journal the total indebtedness would be but about $10,000. This would look very nice if it were but a tenth of the truth. The truth is as near as can be ascertained the debt is between $9 and §10 per head, that is the city owe9 between 860,000 and $70,000. Tho fact is, such is the loose system by which the financial affairs of the city have been managed that not a man connected with it can to-day tell just how much we do owe. Everyone knows that the city is paying interest on a large amount of borrowed money. We understand that the city is paying interest to the Citizen's Bank on
sumB
reachiag oror 150,000. The
Journal will do well to consult A. F. RamBey, for instance, bafore hereafter making such raeh assertions as above. The truth of the matter is bad enough, but false assertions make it worse.
STATE MILITARY EPOCHS. It has been the suggestion for Eome time past that in representing by stone statues surrounding the soldiers' monument the epoch typifying the Mex ican war cannot be better represented than by a statue of Gen. M. D. .Vlauson. He was in that war as a soldier from Indiana, was in several of the engagements that culminated in victory for this government, and besides the surviving soldiers of that war in th.s State are unanimous that a statue of Gen. Manson is perfectly suitable and proper for the mouument and desir^ that it should be so executed. The name of the late Gov. Whitcomb has been suggested for the place, but he was .not a soldier of the war, had little to do so far as the State vias concerned in raising and equipping soldiers for that war, but was Governor of the State only at that time.
THK republicans in their State platform say that the democratic party by its proposed tariff legislation has brought on business depression, closed banks and facturies, etc. Such talk is cheap but the republican politician" should remember that the people have memories. From 1S73 to 1S7S when there was no talk of reducing the tariff and while the republican party and high tariff had full control of every branch of the gc vernment there was 47,195 failures with liabilities aggregating 81.200,909,743 (see First Annual Report U. S. Commissioner of Labor for 1886, page 67.) The report of the same department for 1887, on strikes and lockouts, is a book of 1172 pages devoted entirely to labor troubles such as strikes against reduction of wages and lockouts, ninetentha of which have occurred under high protection and while the republican party was in control of every branch of the government.
IT
IS asserted that the county officers' association have it in for Daily, the candidate for Supreme Judge before the next democratic State convention and will aim to serve him the same as Coffey was served at the late republican State convention. Popular opinion of both parties does not approve of this style of treating a candidate for any judicial position, that of defeating any man simply because of giving an unprejudiced legal opinion which may be against a certain interest, in fact does not like to see such actions resulting from no other cauEe. It may be questioned whether the association has bettered itself by the change of candidates. If defeated it should be on other grounds than those asserted to be which shut off Coffee.
SEVERAL iiundred Huns who have been engaged in Coal mining in Pennsylvania, and under working American labor, finding business dull and prospects ahead not encouraging, hate sailed for their old homes in Hungary and many more will soon follow. They were imported here by the mining bosses who wanted tariff and protection for everything except American labor, and now may be native workmen will tak9 tleir places as they should with decent prices for their labor.
JoHrf C. NEW,
one of Harrison's
henchmen, has taken the liberty to assert that his man is not a candidate for President and does not expect to be. Tell this to the marines, but real old eailors won't believe it. Every move he makes iB, no doubt, with that object in view, nis friend* hoping that in the contention between McKinley and Reed, Harrison will step in as a compromise candidate. You never find a republican too old or satisfied not to hold office if he can get it
A 8UU0E8SFUL STRIKE. The engineers, firerc.en and others, numbering several thousand employees of the Great Northern Railway, extending from St. Paul to tho Pacific coast, began a strike some weekB since for increased wages. They have at last won, the company conceding their demands. Thif is one of the few instances of a successful strike of great magnitude.
CONGRESSMEN who are absent from duty without authority now have their pay deJucted for each day that they may be away. This iB correct and should have been the rule years ago. They idle away far too much time as it is when in session, and if there ie any way for them to be forced to do their duty it should be done.
THE price of wool in the United States was ne»er so low as now, nor the importations so great. The price has tumbled to the free trade line.—Journal.
Yes, and did you note the fact tbat wool took its firBt tumble under the administration of Ben. Harrison when it receded from 28 to 18 cents. Don't forget this as you go along.

Rood's Cures.
In saying that Hood'e Sarsaparilla cures, its proprietors make no idle or extravagant claim. The advertising of Hood's Sarsaparilla is always within the bounds of reason, because it is true it always appeals to the sober, common sense of thinking people, and it ie always fully substantiated by endorsements, which in the financial world, would be accepted without a moment's hesitation.
Read the testimonials published in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla, all from reliable, grateful people.
