TO THE P1TB LIC,

W. C. Stewart has been employed by THE JOUKXAL 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.

How can the repeal of the silver purchase clause of the law of 1890 drive silver from circulation

THE modification of the pension dropping policy is a good indication that Hoke Smith has heard something drop.

IF Senator Hill was "unawed by power and unoorrupted by federal patronage," what are we to infer about Senator Voorhees?

THE Democratic majority in the House seems determined to have no rules that will prevent filibustering and expedite action on matters of public importance.

WE will stay right with Councilman Smith on his proposition to begin a plan for Bewerage this winter and lay the main intercepting sewer along Market street next Spring.

AN increase of over $10,000,00 in the public debt during August is not a pleasant thing to contemplate but it is one of the things always to be expected under Democratic rule.

THE man who is not depositing his sney in the bank these days is missing tt$ropportunity to do his part toward the restoration of confidence and the revival of trade and industry.

THE return of Cleveland to Washingington in apparently good health is a great relief to the country in the way of enabling it to quit thinking about Stevenson as a possible President.

As the case stands now there will be a deficiency of $50,000,000 in the treasury at the end of the current fiscal year. Will the Democrats attempt to reduce the tariff with this deficit staring them in the face

THE Iowa State Register thinks Governor Boies will after the election have opportunity to change his theme, and instead of telling of Iowa's great loos in raising corn can explain about the wonderful loss of Democratic votes.

THE council realizes that the present system or rather lack of system in constructing sewerage iB a ridiculous waste of money. Engineer Waugh takes the right stand when he says that the time for makeshifts and patch work in the line of sewers is past.

"THE police do as they please," said Councilman Reynolds and the Mayor and the entire council agreed with him that it was so. Mr. Reynolds, however, says he proposes to agitate this matter until the police do as the council pleases. And Mr. Reynolds' term does not expire for over two years. We will stay with Mr. Reynolds.

THE wheat importing countries of Europe will want more of that cereal in the next few months than usual, while her exporting countries are not in a position to meet the demand. As a consequence the United StateB will be drawn upon heavily. This probably will mean higher prices for our wheat a few months hence.

THERE are no terrors for Republicans in that threat of Senator Wolcott that if silver purchases are suspended the irilverites may vote for free trade. The Rocky Mountain States have sufficient interest in the protective policy to defend it when it is attacked, and they understand very well that the protective doctrine does not demand that the government shall ehow the Bilver miners any favors beyond what are acoorded to the producers of iron, cotton and other commodities.

A HUMILIATING RETREAT. Hoke Smith has taken water, in other words baoks down on the question of suspending pensions. Commissioner of Pensions Lochren has issued an order, by authority of the Secretary of the Interior, which is a complete reversal of the policy of the Administration, directing the cessation of the wholesale suspension of pensions under the act of June 27, 1890. Hereafter, fraud must be proven, instead of Buspected, before a pension may be withheld. This is a decided retreat on the part of Hoke Smith from his previous conduct in suspending dependent pensioners by the thousand and throwing upon them the burden of proof to remain on the rolls. This humiliating retreat is probably hastened by the Gallinger resolution in the Senate, by the certainty of severe and sweeping condemnation by the G. A. R. National Encampment next week, and by the announcement of Col. C. P. Lincoln, formerly Deputy Commissioner of Pensions, would bring a suit to test the legality of Secretary Smith's arbitrary policy. But more than this must be done. Pensions under suspicion through illegal suspension must be restored, Wo are gratified to know that Hoke Smith's cuticle was not so thick that it could not be pricked by the aroused patriotism of the country.

THE expected deficit in the government receipts at the end of the present fiscal year is $50,000,000. Some Democrats have been driven by what appears to be the inevitable to devise a method which will relieve the situation and at the

Bame

time make political capital. It

is proposed to have the pension appropriation bill reported at an early date, and to add a paragraph to that measure providing that in order to meet the provisions of the bill the Secretary of the Treasury be authorized to obtain the money necessary for its purposes by the issue of bonds. This plan, if oarried out, will put the onus of the deficiency on the soldier olass and will make every veteran who received a pension for injuries received in defense of the Union responsible, in a measure, for the deficit.

ON the essential point, the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law, the Wilson and Voorhees bills are similar in scope and purpose. In the declaration of design and policy there is a difference between the two to this extent—the Wilson bill provides that the legal-tender quality of the silver dollars already coined shall not be impaired, and that fgold and silver coin shall be maintained at a parity with each other, while the Voorhees bill proclaims th«t it is the purpose of the country to continue the use of both metals as money. The difference is in phraseology chiafiy. Practically speaking, the policy and intention are the same in both. No matter which bill passes, the legal-tender quality of silver will be maintained, silver will be held up to a parity with gold, and both metals will be continued in the circulating medium.

AUDITOR OF STATE HENDERSON has announced the following as the tax levy for State purposes for 1893: General fund of the State Treasury, 10 cents on the $100 benevolent institution fund, 5 cents on the $100 sohool revenue for tuition fund, 13i cents on the $100 State debt sinking fund, 3 cents on the $100. Permanent endowment fund, Indiana University, cent on the $100, a total of 32 cents on the $100. In addition to this is included the usual levy of 50 cents on each taxable poll for State purposes and 50 cents on each taxable poll for the school revenue for tuition fund.

THE most uncomfortable politician in Indiana is the editor of the Frankfort Crescent, as will be seen from that which appears below:

President Cleveland has given an edict to Hoke Smith that 100,000 pensioners must be dropped from the rolls.—Orawfor&svillc Journal.

The devilish spirit of lying partisanship In the above statement shames the prince of liars himself. It is a lie made out of whole cloth and known to be so when uttered. President Cleveland has Issued no edict. He has joined with the veterans who saw service and are entitled to pensions, In demanding that the roll be made one of "honor." THE JOURNAL has already earned the contempt of decent people as the most satanlc partisan sheet In the State. As a liar the editor can now go up to the head.

The editor of the Crescent may be likened unto Tam O'Shanter's sulky, sullen dame, "Gathering his brows like gathering storm,

Nursing his wrath to keep It warm?'

REPUBLICANS have not changed. They stand where they have stood in all the past as bimetallists. The Republican National platform of 1888 has from time to time been reaffirmed. It said: "The Republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and condemns the polioy of the Democratic administration in its efforts to demonetize silver." It stands just there to day and will stand there next year, and in 1896.

MONTGOMERY county furnished 3,120 men for the war to suppress the rebellion, represented in 41 different organizations. During the long struggle many a field drank freely of her best blood, and many a household yet mourns the loss of a dear boy or a father who gave his life for that which we enjoy to day. Nearly thuty years have elapsed since the "bugles sang truce" and those who survived returned to their homes and resumed the arts of peace. Many of these sought homes in the West where they have grown into its citizenship. Many others have responded to the last roll call and answered the summons of the Great Commander. During next week scores of these Western boys will re-visit the scenes of their early youth and renew the friendships that were formed and cemented in camp and field. Give them a

CONGRESSMAN BRECKINRIDGE has been sentenced to social ostracism in Washington because of the Pollard incident. In walking through the high society streets of the city he does not get a nod to the mile. This social ostracism does not extend to his Kentucky home, however. There he is looked upon as a regular hero and all the papers in his district have placed in big black letters at the head of their editorial columns: "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone." An intimate friend and supporter of Breckinridge told a prominent citizen of Crawfordsville in Lexington a few days since that Breckinridge had forty children black and white in the city of Lexington alone. This is one of the glorious social possibilities of old Bourbon Kentucky.

THE Newport Hoosier State gives an instance which illustrates the policy of Hoke Smith in the matter of dropping pensioners from the rolls. William Poor, a man 73 years old, totally disabled from manual labor, caused by double rupture and cancer in the face. He was receiving a pension of $12 a month, but he was suspended and ordered to Williamsport to be re-examined. Everybody in Newport was thunderstruck when they learned of the old man's suspension. He can neither read nor write and when the document was read to him his head fell to one side and tears trickled down his cheeks. The conduct of the Pension Bureau is sii ply infamous.

NOTWITHSTANDING the many conflict' ing rumors concerning President Cleveland's health there iB no doubt now that he has been in a very dangerous condi tion. The matter has been set at rest by the authoritative statement that a surgical operation has been performed to remove a cancerous growth from his mouth. It is to be hoped that all dan ger is now passed and that the President's health may be fully restored. Even those who disagree with Mr. Cleve land and his politics and have been his most severe critics will join with his personal and political admirers in the prayer that his life may be spared to the country.

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS is on the war path. He has ordered out the militia to suppress the Roby disgrace even at the coint of the bayonet. The Governor has shown that he has a cuticle as thick as an elephant's, but the arrows of public opinion finally found a lodgment which must have made him wince. The Governor's army will descend upon the enemy next Monday night. It may be a bluff and he may mean business. Time will tell.

SENATOR WOLCOTT says that the silver mines at Leadville during the last fourteen years has cost $7,000,000 more than the market value of the product. The Senator's figures do not quite agree with the figures of mine owners of THE JOURNAL'S acquaintance. If they are true they had better turn their attention to something else. A man who will continue at a business fourteen years and lose money every year is a fool. ,.

HOKE SMITH seems to be taking his spite out on the inmates of Soldiers' Homes. One hundred and two veterans of the home at Hampton, Va., have been dropped from the pension rolls. The fact that a man is in a soldiers' home ought to be prime facia evidence that he iB incapacitated for work.

LAFAYETTE Courier: Senator Voorhees' loyal support of the President appears as if it were based on the consideration that it is to be exerted in the ratio that he has assurance that Joshua Jump is to be appointed collector of internal revenue in the Terre Haute "deestrict."

MEXICAN WAB DATES TO BE REMOVED. Every soldier in Indiana who served in the war for the Union will hail with delight the action of the Monument Commission in directing that the Mexican dates be removed from the upper astragal of the monument. The resolution was introduced by Hon. Wm. H. English, and after a warm debate principally participated in by President Langsdale, it was carried by a vote of four to one. Those voting for it were Messrs. English, Manson, McCollum and Johnson, the one uvote

against it being

Langsdale. This fiction was taken in deference to public opinioil, not alone among the soldiers without regard to their party affiliations, but among the people in general. When the monument was diverted from its original intent there arose all over the State nn indignant protest. Among the soldiers this indignation was well nigh unanimous. They looked upon it as a great wrong, and made up their minds that at some time it should righted. It has been righted. Now let the controversey end.

WHILE prating about the reduction of "tariff taxes" about the first thing the Democratic party will do is to take sugar off the free list and make it dutiable again. The Republicans gave the Amerioan workman first free tea and coffee and then free sugar. In short, a free breakfast table, a luxury, by the way, the British workman has never enjoyed under the] benign intiuenoe of free trade. The shaky condition of the revenues, with an alarming deficit to provide for, will make it doubly difficult to reduce the tariff and increase the revenue at the Bame time. The general prosperity was so great when sugar was made free that the masses of the people never appreciated the benefits of the measure. When sugar is restored to the dutiable list and the cost increased (for home competition amounts to little or nothing) every household will realize the difference, especially in these times of low wages and lack of employment.

ONE of the most striking passages in the masterly speech of Senator Sherman delivered in the Senate last Wedneeday was the allusion to the evil which has been wrought by the threat of free trade. In discussing the repeal of the silver purchase act the Ohio statesman said: 1 do not, however, vote lor the repeal with any expectation that it will in any considerable degree relieve us from the stagnation that has tallen on all kinds ot industries and that has thrown out of employment hundreds of thousands of men and women. They care little lor the kind of money paid to them, provided It has equal purchasing power with every other kind and is backed by the Government of the United States. They do not study the question of ratios, iand if it were left to their choice they prefer the notes of the United States to neither gold or silver. But they want employment. They want reasonable protection against undue competition with foreign laborers, who are.miserably paid, fed, lodged and clothed. Give them this and you may make your standard of value as jou choose. These are the chief factors in the present financial stringency.

THE late Senator Morton used to say that the Democratic party reminded him of a man riding on a railroad train backwards,—he never saw anything from the window until after he had passed it. The Fifty-third Congress haB ndoptod half of the rules of the Fifty-first Congress, known as the Reed rules. Should the country ever be so unfortunate as to be afflicted with another Democratic Congress the party will have so far progressed by that time as to camp on Republican ground.

IT is quite probable that there wiil be a deficit of at least $50,000,000 in the United States treasury at the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1894. This being the case the tariff reductionists will have a hard row to hoe in their efforts to repeal the McKinley law. Dare they place wool, iron, and other protected articles on the free list as was attempted in the last Congress and as they have threatened to do hi the present Congress

IF Gladstone's life be spared two years longer Ireland will secure home rule. The rejection of the present home rale bill by the House of Lords will raise up tens of thousands of enemies

England and other parts of the British islands to that chamber, and win new friends for that policy.
