SATURDAY, JULY 15,1893.
ALTGELD, the anarchist, is an admirable alliteration.
THE man who can sprinkle and won't oprinkle ought to be made to sprinkle.
THE clouds are gradually rolling by —the clouds with silver lining, that is to say,
THE quotation on Democratic chances in the Ohio election is even lower than that on silver.
Gov. ALTHEU) continues to be the best denounced man who has ever held a public office in this country.
IT has been estimated that Montgomery county will drop $300,000 into the lap of Chicago on account of the World's Fair.
IT will be noticed that the latest reports as to the corn crop are decidedly anti-Populist, or, in other words, very encouraging.
WHEN Cleveland presents his message to Congress in favor of honest money, the applause will come principally from the Republican side.
THE man to succeed Judge Olds on the Supreme Court bench is Judge Joseph S. Daily, of Hartford City. Tom Marshall didn't seem to be in it.
THE minister of the gospel who can do nothing but find faults in the conduct of other people, is himBelf possessed of a fault greater than the worst of those be so habitually complains of in others.
THE United States Consuls are said to be studying foreign systems of taxation for the instruction of Democratic statesmen but they will not be able to find any way of averting the restoration of the sugar duty.
IF the people had the work of choosing a Congress to do now they would select a radically different one from that which they chose last November. The free silver men in it would be reduced by about a half.
ONE Democrat is just as good as another for candidate for Governor in Massachusetts if Russell persists in his refusal to run again. He is the only member of his party who could have any chance of election."'
AUSTRALIAN wool grower:—"Ah! this abominable American tariff cn wool will soon be taken off and then we shall get a better market and better prices for our wool."
AMERICAN farmer:—"Ah, me! wool keeps going down and I shall quit the business of raising wool and go at something else. I cannot raise wool at 12-i cents per pound."
THE wheat growers are getting less for their product at present than they have received since the war, but nobody proposes to give them a Sherman law to help them out of their difficulty.
FOUR States—Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts and Virginia—elect Governors this year. Ohio is the only one which has a Republican Governor now, but all of them except Virginia will have one next year.
BOSTON'S Fourth of July orator, Henry W. Putnam, referred to the pensioners aB a "sordid list of grabbers at the Government's money bags," and he is now waiting to be rewarded for it with a Federal office.
FOR the wheat raisers of the United States the outlook at the present time is fair. Europe will need all our surplus of this cereal in 1893, and reasonably good prices are likely to prevail in the fall and winter months.
THE country will not fail to appreciate the fine sense of judicial discrimination exhibited by thoee Kentucky lynchers who gave the accuecd negro rapist the benefit of the doubt as to hie guilt by merely hanging him and letting him go, instead of burning him at the stake.
THE death of Associate Justice Samuel Blatchford removes from the United States Suprene Court Bench one of
itB
most forcible thinkers and accomplished jurists. His successor will probably come from New York. It is thought that Gresham will not be in it this whirl of the wheel.
STATE BAN.K MONEY.
The Democratic platform favors the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State bank notes, and it is said that the antisilver Democrats are willing to make this concession to the South and the Farmers' Alliance element. In view of such a prospect read what the I'.eview of Reviews, a perfectly Kon-partisaa and independent magazine says:
To repeal the ten per -cent, tax upon State bank notes would mean that Ean sas, Maine, California, North Dakota Ohio, and all the other States would be in position to authorize local banking institutions to fiood the country with paper money which could have no cer tainty of uniform safety and value. Zimri Dwiggins might establish a chain of local banks on unsound principles and issue paper money which, mingled with the general volume of the country's cur rency, would be worthless in the hands of the last holder on the failure of the banks It is now asserted in some quarters that Congress will refuse to repeal the harmful silver purchase act unless that repeal be accompanied by the resurrection of the still more pernicious system of wild-cat" money that was buried thirty years ago. Whatever may or may not be do^ie with our currency laws, every business man, every farmer, every pro fessional man who receives a salary, and every man or woman who earns wages or has a fixed money income, should insist absolutely upon a national, uniform currency, with the United States government at the back of every dollar in circulation.
CLEVELAND THE FUGLEMAN. A year ago the entiie Democratic party in the South and West were for free coinage of silver. Now, every Democratic organ in both these sections is yelping with all its might against free coinage. Cleveland is fugleman, and whatever he does they all do whatever he says they all say.
IT is a curious instance of the miscalculation of some people who cannot see very far into the future, that just as the tariff of 4 cents per pound on block tin goes into effect, block tin is cheaper than it was ever known in the country before. Many invested largely in the article in anticipation of a rise when the tariff went into effect on the first of July, who are now selling at a loss. "It was ever thus," and it is so queer that people will go on olaiming and believing that the tariff on manufactures increases prices. How many people have lost all they were worth by acting on the Democratic theory?
WHEAT will be very cheap this harvest, but it will not be near so cheap as some of those chaps will feel who voted for Grover Cleveland and free trade, to raise the price of that precious article. It is a curiouB coincidence that when the Democratic party went out of power in 18G0, wheat was 50 cents per bushel and that now, upon the restoration of that party to power in 1893, wheat is again 50cents per bushel. There seems to be uome mysterious connection between DGmoOracy ant! BOcents wheafci
LET the silver States give more attention to wheat, corn, cattle and fruit raising. There ought to be as much money in these as there is in silver production at 80 cents an ounce, and in the future silver is likely to be oftener below this figure, and far below it, than above it.
IT is very cheerful to reiiect that ten times as many people have been killed celebrating the Fourth of July than were killed on both sides during the Revolutionary war. Still gun powder as a fool killer has fallen far short in its duty.
CIUSP is the smallest Democrat who has been in the Speakership in forty years, yet the Democracy in the House has fallen to such a low estate in ability that he will be re-elected without a contest.
THE export trade of Baltimore, particularly in wheat, is rapidly increasing, and the importance of the city is also steadily growing in other reBpects, including that of political intelligence.
SOME wiseacre has struck upon an easy way to make a fortune. He sayB buy thermometers in December, when they are down, and sell them in July when they are sure to go up.
CALL loan rates of 70 or 75 per cent., which were reached last week in New York, are not likely to be seen again this week. At any rate the squeeze is over for the time being.
CLEVELAND and Crisp are undoubtedly in favor of the adoption of the Reed rules in the House of Representatives to muzzle the free silver element of their party.
MINISTER BLOUNT is anxious to get away from Hawaii, and it is to be hoped that his successor will be a man with a better opinion of the American flag
GOVERNOR MATTHEWS is not a credit by any manner of means but we would not trade him for Altgeld, if Illinois pitched in the World's Fair to boot.
STB.ONG TESTIMONY FOE WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The "last legislature of Wyoming had occasion to pass unanimously a resolution declaring that woman suffrage "has largely aided in banishing crime, pan perism and vice from the State that it has secured peaceful and orderly elections, good government and! a remarkable degree of civilization and public order, that we point with pride to the facts that after nearly twenty-five years of woman suffrage, not one county in Wyoming has a poorhouse, that our jails are almost empty, and crime, except that committed by strangers in the State, almost unknown, and as the result of experience we urge every civilized community on earth to enfranchise its women without delay."
THE honest way to settle the silver question is to put a hundred cents worth of silver in the dollar. Increase the ratio from 16 and 1 to 23 and 1 between the two metals. Value can't be legislated into anything, whether that thing be silver or wheat. The farmer can with equal propriety demand that he shall receive Si a bushel for his wheat through an act of Congress as the mine owner can demand that he shall receive SI.29 an ounce for his silver.
THE South Carolina statute prohibit ing all liquor selling except by State dispensaries has been declared unconstitutional by one of the circuit courts of that commonwealth. This makes the law inoperative in that circuit. Before the people have an opportunity to test the practical workings of the law it is annulled by the courts. The Supreme Court will probably affirm the decision of the lower court.
DEMOCRATIC success, with its treat of free wool, has cost the farmers of the United States from S25,000,000 to §30,000,000 in th6 depreciation of the price of a single year's clip of wool. The abolition of the tariff on wool means the extermination of the wool producing industry. How do the farmers like the Democratic theory as far as they have gotten in the lesson?
GENERAL FIELD, the Populist candidate for Vice-President last year, is now
stumping the State of Virginia urging
the Republicans to unite with the Popu lists and wrest the Old Dominion from Democratic rule. He says the chief issue is the demand for a fair election and that every vote shall be counted as cast.
THE fare to the National Encampment at IndianapoliB will be at the rate of one cent a mile from every part of the county. The Encampment promises to be the largest ever assembled in the history of the organization. The citizens of Indianapolis are not doing things by halves,
THE indidations are that there will be a long struggle over the repeal of what is known as the Sherman law of 1890. Those who imagine that this measure will be wiped out iu a day or two after Congress meets may prepare themselves for a big disappointment. ....
THE Republicans voted for the Sherman law with the expectation of repealing it. That is to say, they regarded it as a temporary expedient to prevent silver coinage, and not as a permanent feature of the financial policy of the Government.
IT is estimated that although the work of dropping pensioners from the rolls has but recently been begun something over a thousand suspensions have already been made. No Mexican soldier's pension has been touched.
GOLD is coming into the country, money is growing plentiful and cheap in New York, and bank failures are decreasing. The financial situation, that is to say, is improving.
ON the finance question Cleveland has always been a Republican, and there is a growing suspicion in his party that he is getting over on the Republican side now in the tariff.
THE Democratic Senators who refuse to vote for the repeal of the Sherman law might as well withdraw all the requests they have made for appointments.
THE Ohio Populists demand the impeachment of Cleveland, and they will get it about aB soon as any other of the absurd things that they are asking.
ANOTHER bank goeB Democratic now and then, but generally speaking, Re publican solidity prevails, and the outlook grows better every day.
THE general wish for Cleveland is that his health may be as robust as his hostility to the pernicious views of his party on financial questions.
THE beBt thing to be said of the Populists is that they are not Baying any thing about themselves.
THE repeal of the Sherman law will have about as much effect towards dissipating the fearn of the people, and giving an impetus to business again as would a grain of eand have in the pro cess of filling the Pacific Ocean. The Sherman law is not the tliicig tlint is troubling the people. It.
i-j
the con
stant threat to reverse the wiee and beneficent policy of encouragement to home industries, that Iihs uast thin country into the "slough of despond," and it will never know p.-udj ont_v again till some part? shall be put in power again that will legislate for A ubiicaand Americans, instead of foreign countries and foreign manufacture. -).
ALL who suppose that the coming extraordinary session of Congro.e will settle either the tariff question or the finance question, will be doomed to disappointment. It will if, inaugurate an exciting discussion wbi^h ^ill ^row more and more intense until l.he ciose of the next Presidential "lection, iu.er which there will again bo peace and prosperity under a Republican President and a Republican Congress. The Democratic party always could raise a whirl-wind in politics, but never could do anything to stop it.
IT is safe to say that Crisp is in error in stating that the President is in favor of State bank currency. This is a part of his platform which Cleveland never indorsed. Moreover, ^tate bank currency is not so much of an issue now as it was a short time ago. A strong and altogether unexpected opposition to this policy has arisen in the South recently. The Fifty-third Congress will not declare in favor of wild-cat money.
UNDER the influence of the sugar bounty the production of beet sugar has increased in one year from 7,000,000 to nearly 30,000,000 pounds. At this rate of increase it would not be long till the United States conld supply itself with sugar, and no longer be dependent on foreign countries. But Mr. Cleveland proposes to wipe out the sugar bounty and stop the development of the beet tugar industry.
THE repeal of the tariff on wool will certainly encourage the production of
wooj
abroad and discourage its produc-
tion at home. It will lessen prices here and increase prices abroad. It will make larger profits to foreign wool growers and less profits to American wool growers. But all this is genuine Democracy and the good people are bent on having Democratic rule, and so let them have it.
THE Democratic ship is like the Victoria in the sense that its stearing-gear is sadly defective.
Jilli KPATRICK.
Will Branagin will locate in Califormu this fall. The prospect for a good corn crop on the prairie was never batter. -4
Ellsworth Dain will have, when finished, one of the nobbiest houses in Kirk. We mean Kirkpatrick, not Baskirk.
Cal Baum is putting in a stationary engine at his elevator and will be ready to handle all the grain that may come. It is safe to say that no village of its size handles as much grain and Btock as does Kirkpatrick.
Wheat is all in the shock that is worth cutting. There are hundreds of acres on the prairie that will not be cut. John Marsh, alone, has fifty acres of which he cut not a straw. Much of that which is cat is of a very poor quality.
DUMBER THIRTEEN
Dogs have killed some of Wavman Batterall's sheep. Joe Bottenburg will rent his farm and retire from active labor.
Wheat in this community is better than was supposed before the harvest. Miss Lib Kerr, of Attica, has been visiting her sister, Mrs. J. D. Thomas.
A basket meeting was conducted at Center last Sunday by the faith people. In the death cf Mrs. Anna Brown the the community and church have lost a most excellent woman.
The Pleasant Hill M. E. Sunday school gave a good concert at Cording's hall last Saturday evening, worthy better patronage than they received.
We have been complimented with a copy of the Linden Localizer, with our old neighbor, J. S. Bennett, local editor. How greatness do come to some men.
NUMBER FIVE.
Wheat all cut. Hay making is the order of the day. Mrs. Frank Linn, of Nevada, Iowa, is visiting here.
There will be an ice cream festival at Mace July 15. The whistle of the threshing machine will soon be heard.
Several from here contemplate going to the Shades Sunday. Dr. Chambers and Ward Linn spent Sunday in Crawfordsville.
Bill Myers is the champion bicycle rider of Onion Hill. Fearless Andy said he saw the sparks fly Sunday night.
Guy Evans and Mike Hunt will bring their beet girls from Advanoe to the ice cream sapper at Mace next Saturday night.

A Popular Pastor.
Rev. James G. Campbell, Rensselaer, has accepted a call extended by Trinity church, Portland, Ore and will leave for his new field of labor Sept. 1. He will receive a salary of 82,500 per annum and a parsonage free. Mr. Campbell was born and reared at Battle Ground and graduated from from DePauw University in 1886. He has been stationed at North Indianapolis, Rockville, West Lafayette and Rensselaer since he has entered the ministrv and has been remarkably successful at all of his stations. He is a gentleman of fine literary attainments, a constant and earnest student, and has recently taken the degree of Ph. D. He possesses charming social qualities and makes friends easily wherever he goes. His wife, forpierly Miss Flora Darter, of Crawfordsville, is a lady of most estimable qualities and her many social accomplishments are an aid to him in his work among his parishioners. She is thoroughly interested in his work and together they area power for good. Mr. Campbell has received several calls to the Pacific coast and this fact is proof of the high esteem in which he is held, and proof that his ability is of a hish ord-?r that merits of recognition. The Journal is pleased to announce his success.— Lafayette Journal.

On the Threshold..
Standing at womanhood's door is she, Clad in her virginal purity, A creature lair as the lilies be. And, like the lilies, alas, how frail They are borne to the earth when the storms prevail. And their lil'e goes out in ths summer gale. When we see a frail and lovely creature, standing on the threshold between girlhood and womanhood, we shive- with a fear of what may be, because we have seen so many succumb at ..his critical period of life. What is needed at this time is a tonic and invigorant- something that will promote proper functional action of the female organs. The only remedy to be depended on is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This unequaled medicine, which cures diseases pecular to women,is especially valuableat the period when the girl crosses the threshold of womanhood. Used at such a time, it never fails to produce a most beneficial result, and many a fraeile girl has been t.ided over one of life's most trying periods by it.

Pitcher's Castoria*
An Awful Tragedy!
Thousands of lives have been sacrifled, thousands ot homes made desolate by the fatal mistake of the -'old school" physicians still insisted in by some, notwithstanding the light thrown upon the subject by modern research, that Consumption is incurabler It is not. Consumption is a scrofulous disease of the lungs, and any remedy that strikes right at the seat of the complaint must and will cure it. Such a remedy is Dr. Peirce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is a certain specific for all scrofulous complaints. It was never known to fail if given a fair trial, and that is why the manufacturers sell it under a positive guarantee that if it does not benefit or cure, the money paiu for it will be refunded. The only iung remedy possessed of such remarkable curative properties as to warrant its makers selling it on trial!
