SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1893.

TO THE PUBLIC,

W. C. Stewart has been employed by THE JOURNAL as traveling agent. He is authorized to solicit subscriptions, advertising and all kinds of job printing, and to make collections and receipt for the same. It is his intention to visit every portion of the county within the next few months and we bespeak for him a kind reception by the people.

REDUCTION IN PRICE. From this date the subscription price of the THE WEEKLY JOURNAL will be SI per year. This reduction is made in order that it may come within the reach of every family in the county. While there will be a reduction in subscription price there will be no depreciation in the merits of the paper. The aim of its publishers will be to increase its usefulness as a local and family newspaper. While politically THE JOURNAL will advocate the principles of the Republican party, yet the news, both local and general, shall receive special attention. Try it for a year. Hand your name and your dollar to your nearest agent or to our traveling agent when he callB on you. Of course this reduction in price does not include arrearages.

THE public debt was increased $4,263,973.31 during July.

THE four big. C's that the country now sees are Cleveland, the Change, Calamity and Collapse.

BANKS are still suspending, faotories are being closed up all over the country, and Grover continues to fish at Buzzard's Bay.

THE cry is now, "Give us the good old Republican times" of 1892, instead of the good old Democratic times of 1852 to 1860.

THE list of failures cf banks, faotories and commercial houses fills about a column each day of the newspapers. These bg. glorious Democratic times.

CONGRESS, which is Democratic in both branches, will meet next Monday and with the aid of a Democratic President will proceed to knock out the "panic."

GENERAL LEW WALLACE says that the Turkish cavalry is admitted to be the finest in all Europe. The soldiers of the Sultan's Circassian body-guard are, General Wallace says, "bloodthirsty and treacherous, reoklessly brave and exceedingly beautiful."

THE free silver coinage association of Montana repeats the assertion of the Colorado silver men that silver cannot be produced at a profit for less than $1.29 per ounce. Such claims only injure the cause of free coinage, for no one will believe that they have for years turned out Bilver at a loss to themselves.

THE Monument Commission had decided that the crowning figure on the Mexicanized shaft should fnoe west. Public opinion protested so strongly that they changed their minds and it will now Jface south. The impression has been all along that they had feelings akin to Jay Gould so far as the public was concerned.

ENGLISH money WBB an important fa& tor in carrying the elections last fall in favor of free trade. It is amusing to hear those who profited by this deal with Johnny Bull now heaping unstinted abuse on the devoted head of their friend and deliverer for the part he takes on the financial question. The Democracy having sold itself to England on the tariff question should not turn against its master on the financial question.

NEITHER the repeal of the Sherman Silver law nor the final settlement of the silver question can obscure the greater question of the tariff nor relieve the Administration from its responsibility for the present condition of American industry. Not all the silver that was eyer wrung from the trans-Missouri mountains could compensate the Amerioan people for the losses sustained by the demoralization of business and the shrinkage of value since the day of Mr. Cleveland's second inauguration.

WHEAT DRILLS buy the old Indiana. It gives entire satisfaction. Sold by Tin8ley & Martin.

SOME BESULTS.

The Peru Republican commenting on the DePauw failure makes the following observations: "Charles W. DePauw, of New .Albany, was worth $1,000,000 three months ago. He is now practically penniless, having included in his deed of assignment all personal property down to his shotgun and fishing tackle. The interests of the university bearing the family name are in no way affected. Mr. DePauw was unfortunate enough to have his money invested in two great protected industries built by the De Pauws on Indiana soil and employing hundreds of Indiana workmen. Mr. DePauw was one of the hated capitalists against whom Democracy inveighed last summer. How many of the agitators would have handed out their last cent to creditors? There may be joy in the free traders' camp over the downfall of a man like this. We doubt if there is much hilarity among the workingmen who look upon the darkened doors of the DePauw factories with the consciousness that it all means the loss of work and wages."

THE Democratic members of Congress from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are becoming alarmed and are clamoring at the Pension Bureau for a stay of the ruling of Hoke Smith in regard to veterans' pensions. Speaking of the cruel and unnecessary order and the indignation it has aroused throughout the North because of the suspension of so many worthy veterans the New York Press says that such petty outrages are too umall for a great nation like this. The saving effected is infinitesimal. The fear, the misery, the trouble entailed are far too great. Over half the mighty hoBt who went forth to fight the nation's battles are dead. The number in mournful march to the grave is increasing each year. The pension list, like the national debt, will soon reach its highest point and melt away. In the name of decency stop this petty persecution of the weak and unfortunate.

WHEAT seems to be doing all that is possible to ease up the money market and help the exchanges, but at a tremendous sacrifice. The lowest figure ever known for wheat was made on the Chicago Board of Trade on Saturday. It was thought to be at the very bottom last month when June wheat touched 62. Wheat had seemed to be going down to get out of the way of silver, but on one day at the close of the month silver caught up and an ounce of silyer sold for exactly the same price as a bushel of wheat—62 cents. Since then silver has broken away and turned so as to sell at 71, but wheat has kept on the downward tack until it has fallen actually below the cost of production.

THE Commissioner of Pensions has issued Order No. 229, which in effect says that all applicants for pensions are forbidden help in preparing their evidence for presentation of their cases to the department. By thiB ruling a man desiring a pension must be lawyer enough to prepare his evidence, and physician enough to describe the particular malady entitling him to government help. This is simply infamous. However deserving a man may be unless he possesses educational advantages to give the precise information wanted without assistance will be barred out. But such is the present pension policy.

THERE is no getting around the fact that the ohief cause of the apprehension and depression, the contraction of enterprise and the stoppage of industry is the threat of Democratic interference with the Republican policy of protection. The Democratic party cannot escape or evade the responsibility for disasters directly attributable to its own declarations of its policy.

THE people who prayed for a change last fall are like the miserly deacon who prayed the Lord to send a poor widow a "barrel of potatoes, a barrel of pork, a barrel of apples, a barrel of pepper—no hold on Lord, that's too much pepper." They got too much of a change.

FRANCE is a bimetallic country, of course. She has $700,000,000 in legal silver coin. She limits the silver to that, and gold is free at the mints where silver is prohibited. There is no other wav of bimetallipm in these timeB.

PORK took a tumble yesterday and fell from $19 per barrel to $10 per barrel. It afterwards recovered and sold at $10.50. Millions were lost in a few hours. A tumble in hogs will follow.

WHEAT is now selling from 42 to 45 cents per bushel. Where is that $1.25 wheat promised us in case Grover Cleveland should be elected President?

OVER 100 national banks have closed their doors this year, but no person holding a note of these banks will lose a oent by their failure.

MAJOR S. G. BHOCK, the retiring Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, ranks deservedly high as an authority on commercial affairs. For many years he has made a special study of the movements of commerce and the causes that were behind them. HIB official reports on exports and imports of merchandise and specie have been notable for their accuracy and comprehensiveness. In a recent interview Major Brock points out the absurdity of the assumption that the chief responsibility for present industries and financial conditions rests upon the Sherman law. The decrease in our exports of breadstuffs and the condition of trade in foreign countries have been the most potent factories in sending American gold to Europe. The country might have endured this season's exports of gold with equanimity, however, if a party possessing the confidence of the nation's business men had been in power. Major Brock states the facto tersely and forcibly when he says:

The basis of all credit is confidence in the government, its {policies and measures. That confidence is wanting atfthe time and in the present Administration. There Is much apprehension as toothe financial legislation in the next Congress. It is an open secret that the bankers oflthis country have little or no confidence in the present management of the Treasury. The course thus far pursued has been so vacillating and uncertain as constantly to awaken apprehension. Again, the manufacturers are unwilling to enlarge their business, undertake any new enterpriseJ or increase their products beyond immediate demands because of the threatened tariff legislation.

A great many people are always ready to find fault and groan at the least provocation. Such people should be sent to Jonaville by telegraph in order to let some people have a chance at life..

Eli Gathright has a novel patent under construction. It is a triple gear bicycle. It is calculated to propel as easy as any ordinary bicycle and run three times as fast as a double gear bicycle. He has made application for a patent and from advices it will revolutionize the cycle business.

It has again become our sud duty to chronicle another sad event. The participants of the two fights which recently took place now prowl for gore and the lingering rays of the setting sun lights up the blood Bpecked horizon and tells us that consternation and pandemonium reigned in the camp of the combatants. AB a result one has taken to drink and the other has been living on grass hoppers and wild oats. It is too bad to have such eventB to happen in our quiet town and we hope we will never have to call the public to grieve over such a thing again.

A monster petition has been sent up by the cow owning citizens asking the royal council to abolish the stray pen ordinance and to cancel the marshal's obligation with said pen and to allow cattle and small hogs to run up and down our thoroughfares bellowing and squealing and give the town its lustre it had in bygone days. May the husky voice of the herdsman be heard in our streets is the prayer of cow pumpers' association, and we suggest the lasso would be just the thing. The grass is getting a nice start along the roads and the man who said he paid $1.25 for the right of his cow to look where the grass has been will be exceeding glad and the voluptuous roar and the chuckling can be haard many squares. Dads, do ae ye are asked and ask no questions.

A WILD HOG.

Allen Wheeler is the owner of a wild hog. From his pighood he wandered far from the other swine and spends much of his time in neighboring corn fields. He is vicious and could not be caught, even being hunted with pitchforks. It is thought that it was bitten by a dog and no doubt it was. It has all the symptoms of a mad animal suffering from hydrophobia. The animal should be hunted up and killed as it is sure to tear some one to pieces.

SMALL BOYS RUN AWAY.

The two small boys of Dan Oounant and the small son of Milt Roberts have departed for parts unknown. Their parents went to Ladoga and because the boys could not go to that town of destiny where the Indian left in his melanoholy days they immedietely went into war counoil and the sachem, after considering the matter, advised the young warriors to hunt anew field. They accordingly did BO and now all the byways

Death of an Old Oitizen.

James Cooper was born in Washington county, Penn., October 29, 1811. He united with the M. E. church in 1835, of which he has been a constant member ever since. He was married to Lucinda Allen April 25, 1833, and moved to Delaware county, Ohio, in 1834, where they spent 20 years. They removed from there to Hillsboro in 1854, where they have since resided. There were born to them sixteen children, twelve of whom with mother Cooper Btill survive to mourn their IOBS. Father Cooper labored under great disadvantages in battling with this world, having been a cripple from infancy. For the last five years he was a patient, helpless sufferer from paralysis from which God lias released him. He has fought life's battle well. He tried to bring up his children in the way they should go and has gone to rest with Him who said: "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord."

The funeral was held at the home of the deceased at 2 p. m. Aug. 3, after which his remains were laid to rest in Spring Hill cemetery. The fuDeral was preached by Brother Bowers.
