Cutting off' S~5,000.000 in pensions and making a gift of 540,000,000 to the sugar trust is the Democratic idea of economy.

The gold reserve lias been reduced to 801,000.01)0. About time for another bond issue.

Thk A njUN-Xvirs respectfully declines to say whether or not it is in favor of free wool and taxed sugar. It wants to "wait and see.'' The .l.-AT. is an ideal cuckoo.

Covington* Pepuhtica n: Montgomery county refused to endorse Rrookshire. Yet he will be renominated by aelamai.ion. A Democrat is a curious combination of humanity and [party servility.

Efekv Democrat in the Senate except llill voted in favor of placing a 40 per cent, duty on sugar. And yet the Arjitx-Xeu\s has no opinion whether the Democratic Senators are right or whether Hill is right. It prefers to "wait and see."

'.- Can tjie Anjus-Xeies explain why rice, an industry of the South, is protected in the Senate bill by a duty of 83 per cent, and the duty on all farm products of the North has been removed? Or will it prefer to "wait and see" before making the explanation?

In Holland, the tramp problem is solved. There they have a farm of 5,000 acres, and the tramps are sent to work. If they refuse they are sent to a place where work is compulsory. America might proiit by the exmple aof Holland.

Ik both Houses of Congress pass a tariff bill placing a duty of 10 per cent, on sugar, the Anjuis-Xeieis will sing an anthem of praise. On the other hand if a tariff bill is passed placing sugar on the free list the anthem will be forthcoming all the same. For the present it declines to say whether it is in favor of free or taxed sugar. It wants to "wait and see."

Ghkes Smith the Attorney-General for Indiana, is a thrifty individual, lie will be able to stick down into his trousers' pockets another 850,000 as an incident to the decision of the Supreme Court which declared the act compellschool trustees to return all unexpended balances into the State treasury to be constitutional. The Democratic members of the last Legislature were mere puppets in the hands of the bulldozer from Jennings.

The Indianapolis Sentinel which for awhile was inclined to kick over the traces is gradually getting down to business as a tractable cuckoo. It can now characterize the speech made by a Democratic Senator as "Hill's Howl" when the Senator is guilty of no greater offense than the Sentinel itself has been in protesting against the repudiation of the Chicago platform. Smaller organs are sometimes wiser than the Scntlcl has shown itself to be. They prefer to "wait and see."

AX OlMiAN "NOT IX HARMONY." The Cleveland Plain Dealer for many years has been the thick-and-thin Democratic mouthpiece of Northern Ohio. Last fall the Indianapolis Sentinel re ferred to it as an ideal Democratic paper, and said that if Southern Ohio has as good a Democratic paper as the PlaitiDealer was forXorthernOhio there could be no doubt as to the result of the election which was then pending It has fought the battles of Democratic "tariff reform" in past years and preached the doctrine of cheapness unceasingly. Rut the Plain Dealer has seen a great light. In its issue of .June 14 it says:

Ohio wool was sold yesterday for l:'V.j cents per pound. A few days before :.00,000 pounds were purchased at Kt and 14 cents. We can but think that the manufacturers of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts did a great injury to the whole country, as well as their own business, in getting the Senate committee to agree to keep wool on the free list. This constant decline in the price to a point lower than ever before in the history of the state shows plainly what absolute free trade would bring about.

A fair tariff' of :.) or per cent on raw wool would not make a cent's ifference in the price of clothing. It would bring, we believe, as much money into the Treasury as was brought, per year tinder the Mclvinley bill. Last year there was colleetec more than S?-l.0(i0,000 from the importa tion of wool. Is the Treasury of the I nited States in such condition that it can afford to throw away 61.000,000 per year at this time?

It would benefit the government and the producers of wool, and, indeed, we lieve. the whole country to place wool on the tariff' list. It would make the whole revenue bill more defensible because more logical and just. We beg most earnestly that an amendment be adopted by the Senate putting wool on the tariff list at a per cent not less than MO and certainly as much as

The A n/nx-Xeics will say of the Plain Dealer as it said of the Louisville. Courier Jonrial that its editor is "brilliant but erratic," and that it is "not in harmv with its party."

The editor of

the Plain Dealer is "brilliant" enough to see that the boasted free trade idea is a failure, and is frank enough to saythat "a tariff of ?0 or 2" per cent on raw wool would not make a cent's difference in the price of clothing," and at the same time would bring into the treasury more than 84,000,000, a sum that we can not afford to throw away. The leading Democratic papers are moving up and will soon occupy Republican ground. The Anjus-Xcws should get in the swim.

TIIK CLIMAX OF ANARCHY. The news that startles the world this week is the assassination of SadiCiirnot, President of France, last night at Lyons by an Italian anarchist. The dangers of anarchism are not conlined to a republican form of government. The}' are to be encountered in monarchies as well as republics. The assassination of a czar, or of a president or of a mayor, should admonish the world that anarchy in whatever form should be speedily crushed or governments themselves will be stamped out. Mankind must unite for the preservation of civilization. The spirit of anarchy seems to be growing in the United States. Have we not had sufficient warning in the assassination of two Presidents and the Mayor of a great city to adopt vigorous measures and give it no quarter. The cowardly place seekers who pander to this murderous element in this country should be relegated to the rear by the united voice of the lovers of law and order. What we need are a few less Governor Altgelds and Governor Waites, and a few more Governor Matthewses and Governor McKinleys.

Anotiikh scandal is brewing. It is stated now that the Welsh manufacturers of tin-plate made up a large pool, reported to be §500.000, and sent it over to influence tariff legislation. The chief person in looking out for the Welsh interest is C. S. Trench, an unnaturalized citizen of this country,who is a tin-plate broker in New York City. Mr. Trench and those working- in behalf of the Welsh interests and against the American manufacturers have boasted of the fact that they had means with which to control legislation. They have always been emphatic in their statements that they would get what they wanted from this Congress. Certainly there was a close connection between the members of the Finance Committee who had charge of the tin-jffate schedule and the Welsh manufacturers. The Welshmen knew what was going on behind the closed doors of the Finance Committee ten days before the people of this country were made aware of the fact. Ever since May SLwhen^it became known to the Welshmen that the Finance Committee had acted in their interest, C. S. Trench has stated time and time again that he has taken orders for tinplate at the rate of 0,000 boxes a day, and has been forwarding these orders as fast as possible to the Welsh manufacturers.

Tiik Democratic Senators should have a monument erected to their memory when they die. 1,'his monument should be erected by the poor men of the country in ten cent subscriptions. They have put a tax of 850,000,000 on sugar, and reduced the tax on diamonds 15 per cent. What matters it if the poor man does pay more for his sugar he can make a saving of 15 per cent, on his diamonds.

SENATOR HILL

'S

SPEECH.

One of the most readable speeches that has been delivered in the Senate recently is the speech of Senator Hill in opposition to the income tax. He Hayed those Democrats who for the last twenty-five years have clamored aginst war taxes and who now for the first time since war have been intrusted the full control of the Government' are attempting to restore the most odious, inquisitorial, and offensive war taxes with which a free people were ever afllieted. In repudiating such spurious Democracy Mr. Hill said:

I repudiate the spurious Democracy of these modern apostles and prophets, who are part Mugwump, part Populist, and the least part Democratic, who seek to lead us astray after false gods, false theories and false methods. 1 object to our restoring a war tax which the Republicans themselves rejected years ago. with our approbation. I protest against the lack of foresight and judgment upon the part of some professed Democrats who always seem anxious to adopt whatever the Pa'publicans and the people have repudiated. Tlier

were those who vigorously opposed the issue of greenback's during the war. but when the Republicans after the war sought to curtail and restrict their lorincr issue, these men became the earnest champions of a greenback currency and sought to merge the Democratic party into a greenback party. They opposed the policy of a return io specie payments, and when specie payments became an accomplished fact they clamored for papei* money. 'I hey are the same shortsighted men who four years ago made the air of the capitol resound with their denunciations of ex-Speaker Reed's rules, and recently turned round and adopted the substantial principle involved in those very rules, amid the laughter and ridicule of the whole country. I cannot follow such leadership, which shifts and turns and temporizes upon every public question: which compromises eveiy well-established Democratic principle for which the party contended when out of power: which stands ready to adopt every passing "ism" of the hour: which surrenders principle for expediency and pursues no consistent course from one year to another. If political success of my party is only to be purchased by such methods and such sacrifices I prefer defeat and the preservation of my self respect.

Mr. Ilill then entered upon-an able and exhaustive argument against the imposition of the incoinectax, but his protests and his arguments were in vain as the contract with the Populists made it necessary for every Democratic Senator to go back on the record of his party. Mr. Hill, however, had the satisfaction of showing up their inconsistency

the next legislature.

The Columbus licpnblii-an has been figuring on the probable complexion of the next Legislature, and is quite hopeful that the Republicans will have a majority in both branches. Of the twenty-five Senators, who hold over, eleven are Republicans and fourteen Democrats. Of the twenty-five districts in which Senators are to be elected six were carried by the Republicans in IS!).?, while the Democrats carried nineteen. Seven of the Democratic districts were carried by less than 500 plurality. The Democrats admit that there are eight doubtful districts which were carried by their party in ISO?. Should the Republicans succeed in carrying these, with the six districts they carried in 1S(.)2, they will have with the eleven holdovers twentyfive members in that body. While an entire new House of Representatives must be elected, the gerrymander will give the Democrats some advantage. The Republicans carried thirty-three of the representative districts in ISO? while the Democrats carried sixtyseven. "Political experts, who have been figuring on the vote of that year, say twenty-nine of the sixty-seven Democratic districts are doubtful this year. Should the Republicans carry two-thirds of these doubtful districts, with the districts they carried in ISO:.', they will have a majority in the House of Representatives.

"With the free trader the dream of life is "cheapness." He says we ought to have "cheap" clothing without regard to the method by which the cheapness is effected. All industries are interdependent, and the prosperity of all depends on the prosperity of each. One "cheap" man begets another. If the hatter must have "cheap" shoes, the shoemaker must have "cheap" hats. If both must have "cheap" clothes, there must be "cheap" men to raise the wool, "cheap" spinners to spin it, "cheap" weavers to weave it, "cheap" sewingwomen and "cheap" tailors to make it into clothing, and so on through the entire body of labor, "cheap" machinists, "cheap" agriculturists, "cheap" grocers, "cheap" carpenters and painters. This form of cheapness would be the destruction of civilization." Thus spoke Senator Jones in the United States Senate September 10, 1S90. The speech is a classical production and should find a place on the shelf of every public and private library in the land. It is a valuable contribution to our tariff literature, as it is replete with the logic of facts which are undisputed and undisputable.

TIIK tariff bill will go through the Senate, income tax and all. The tug of war will be in the committee of conference.

THE People's Paper at Covington has changed its name to the Covlmjton Repablivua. This is a sensible change.

MARRIAGE A FAILURE.

Mrs. Rose Nixon Stone Has Evidently Come to That Conclusion.

Mrs. Rose Nixon Stone has returned from Sioux City, Iowa, to the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Daggett. '.HO east Market street, and has come to stay.

Mrs. Stone first married Harry Nixon, the well known horseman, but finally left him on account of his cruel ty and secured a divorce. She remained single some time but last fall at the World's Fair she met J. W. Stone, of Sioux City, Iowa. Stone was a wealthy stock raiser and was well connected and while somewhat bucolic in appearance was evidently all right. A correspondence was kept up until about the latter part of last March when Stone arrived here to claim her as his. Mr. and Mrs. Daggett interposed strenuous objections- but to no effect as their daughter was clearly won by the blandishments of the honest farmer. The marriage took place and the happy couple departed for Sioux City, near which was the groom's large farm of 000 acres. All was as had been represented. The groom and his family had excellent social standing and position and years of happiness seemed to open up before the 1 loosier girl. For five weeks everything was lovely. Amt at the end of that time Mrs.

lStone

discovered that

her husband was losing his mind and he grew rapidly worse. He became insanely jealous—jealous of his own father, brother, mother and every one who came near his wife, at the same time practicing the most cruel and inhuman treatment upon her. Finally she could stand it no longer and secretly wired her father for money to return to Indiana. Under police protection she boarded the train and has arrived at home broken in health and a total wreck of her former self but happy to be once more among her relatives and friends.

CHILDREN'S DAY AT DARLINGTON.

A Memorable Occasion Long to be Kciiiembereil ly OKI ami Young.

Special to The Journal. D.uii.iNGTOx, June ?5.—Our town supports and runs four of as good Sunday schools as can be found in a town of our size any where in the great State of Indiana. Roth old and young are interested in this good work, especially the small boys and girls. The boy soon arrives at a certain age when he is entirely too big to attend Sunday school for a time but he generally lives over it and comes back later in life. Sunday schools as all other schools have progressed with the times and are very different from the long ago. The various lesson leaves now in use are great and good helpers and the teacher or scholar can and must study at home and come with their lessons well prepared and in tliis way we are learning lessons that can never be effaced from our memory. Rut at no time during the year are the children more interested in their work than on children day. This year three of our schools thought to change the programme and each took their schools and spent an entire day in the woods, the children romping and playing and the old people enjoying their fun. The Fourth, or M. E. church, held short exercises as usual in the church which event took place last evening before a large congregation. The exercises consisted of songs and recitations by the little folks. The older people owing to the hot weather had not done their part as well as is their custom from the fact that the church was not decorated as is the custom on such occasions. lut the performers under the direction of Mrs. Ed Roolier did extremely well and showed gooi! training.

rihe

class of some thirty boys and

girls sang well The half dozen little girls sang well, the two little girls sang wonderful and the solo by Lela Kirkpatrick showed good training for one of her age. The recitations were all up to the standard but we must make special mention of two, the first entitled "Children's Day," spoken by Ola Col train, a mere child of only some six summers, living in the country and has not the advantages of the child in town, yet her manner of delivery, her clearness of voice, her articulation,'her expression and the length of her recitation all showed her to be an exception of a child. The next, "The Smack in School," as spoken by Dean Jackman, a boy of about the same age, showed himself to be a born elocutionist and with proper training will some day rival the best. Children's day has a twofold purpose. Not only is it to amuse and instruct but at the same time we are expected to give of our means and thereby create a fund for the education of worthy people unable to educate themselves and for that purpose the usual collection was taken. Now that the day is over and the hot weather is on let us not weary in well doing but push right on and be found in our place either as teacher or scholar promptly at the hour and thereby encourage others to do likewise.

COMMENCEMENT AT SEW ROSS.

Ten Graduates from the Walnut Township Schools—Miss liowers the Lucky Contestant.

Special to The Journal. Ni:w Ross, June 25.—'The twelfth annual commencement of the Walnut township schools was held in Adkins' hall Saturday night. There were ten graduates and each of them did excellent in the composition and delivery of their finales. The hall had been artiseally decorated and an arch graced the front of the stage trimmed with evergreen and vines. Flowers of various shades were woven in and made a very picturesque scene. The music was furnished by the orchestra under the directorage of J. II. Routh, who had made a special preparation in the selections. The graduates were presented with many {presents and bouquets, the latter being artistically arranged, and never were exercises held under such management. Every seat in the house was taken and many were turned away. The first speaker of the evening was Miss Dollie Sperry, who delivered a very interesting talk on "Woman Place in the Government. She spoke of the right of suffrage and favored a universal suffrage. The next speaker was Miss Maude Moss, who presented the"Aimof Life,"which culminated in self control with an ideal to work to. The third speaker was Edgar Rowers. His subject was "Don't Re in Too Much of a llurrv,'" showing how greatness, even in government, was not fast and we must likewise follow nature's line. His subject was carefully written and contained excellent thought. .lane Chambers then told us what to read, tlioroughly condemning the novels and fictitious work ami said we must read true history for our best good. Rert Remley then spoke on the subject of "Does the World Owe Me a Living'.'" lie dwelt on socialism and condemning the tramp and the self piaise idea. We get the debt by work. Clyde Loop delivered a historical sketch of the early heroes of our country. Miss Ivy Inlow took as a subject. "The Puritan, the Grandest Character of American History," and which she ably handled. Miss Anna McCarty delivered a carefully studied sketch on "Patriotism in Our Country. She held the church first and patriotism second. Charles Stafford 'took as his subject "The Rise and Fall of My Generation," which was logically presented. Miss Ethel Rowers delivered an excellent and carefully prepared selection, her subject being, "Where There's a Will I heres a Way. Her fine voice and manner ol' delivery held the audience spellbound. She had some fine paragraphs so arranged that they captured the ears of all. The judges, T. A. lirown, of Houlder, Mont., \V. J. Sanford, of Lebanon, and .Miss Mattie Johnson, were out but one moment and all favored Miss Rowers for our representative to the county contest. Her grade was !)4. she also captured the county scholarship a few weeks ago and is a scholar and vocalist of ability. County Superintendent J. S. Zuck was present and made a short speech which was well received. Rev. J. E. Morrison opened the exercises with prayer and J. S. McCallum, of Olympia, Wash., pronounced the benediction.

Jimmie A Goner.

Jimmie Case, a freckled and woe begone little todger of about twelve years, looked dolefully up into the face of Judge Ilarnev last Monday in the circuit court. Jimmie came up from Ladoga to answer to the charge of stealing ST from Harry Morrison. The Judge looked at the versatile and accomplished Jimmie quite severely and Jiminie's speckled nose wrinkled up quite pitifully and he began to whimper, probably at the thought of being hung. Then the Judge asked Jimmie if he had hooked the money. "Yes. I done it," said Jimmie, "but I never meant to do it." Then the Judge said he suspected that Jimmie would better go to the Plainfield reform school and staycuntil lie was twentyone years old.

Two 1}|«1 Little Hoys.

The grand jury returned indictments against Arthur Gilbert and llarry Rishop for robbing Johnson Clore's store. On Monday Demas Gilbert started to get little Arthur to take him up before the court, but little Arthur skipped through the back door and ran off. Demas followed him as far as the ruins of the old Mclveen mill and there the good Demas fell in a big hole and skinned himself all up. Little Arthur ran on and has not yet been caught.

A Bad Blaze.

Saturday evening during the absence of the family fire broke out in the residence of Lee S. Warner,- on east Jefferson street. It was discovered by C, W. Wright who extinguished the blaze "before the fire department, which mace a fine run, arrived on the scene. T1 damage will amount to perhaps sevj eral hundred dollars, fully insured.

THE FOURTH AT THE SHADES

l'rt'paratioiirt Kt'ing MuIr for an 1'iiuisual Demonstration Thereon Our Natal Iay.

Manager Stebbins, of the Garland Dells, is preparing for the usual demonstration there on July 4 and expects to bring in both the bucolic and metropolitan thousands to scramble for honors in his pie eating contests and baby shows. The chief address of the day will be delivered by Col. .John C. W ingate, who is at present canvassing the county for a bunch of "gooks" appropriate to the occasion. The Waveland and lilnff .Mills base ball teams will sweat, swear and swat for -the championship while cash prizes are to be delivered to those parties displaying the greatest proficiency at croquet.

The ladies' band from Skaggs' Corner (near Jackville) will be present and discourse through the day such thrilling airs as "After the Rail" and "When Summer Conies Again." The. advertising bills contain the following startling announcement: "Young ladies, you are no longer "in it.'' To the prettiest married lady on the grounds we will give a handsome dress pattern. .Judges, Walter Hulet and Wallace Sparks, of Crawfordsville.

are surely not so

reckless. There will be in this contest no

than Ht)0 young married

women, nearly all residents of this county. Roth these young men expect to run for otliee here in the next two or three years and their serving as judges in a contest of this kind would cook their respective "gooses'' beyond the peradventure of a doubt,. Every defeated woman would have it in for them and oblige her husband to do his humble part to encompass their defeat at the polls when they come up for suffrage Not only that but the 1msband of the successful lady would doubtless conceive the idea that they were attempting to flirt with his wife and while saying nothing would quietly wreck vengance on them under the fostering protection of the Australian ballot law. Roth young men have jeopardized their futures and will go down in black ruin whenever they Ik up for otliee.

Howard Maxwell and 'lias McFadden will be judges in the baby show and a jollj hair tearing contest is anticipated. Altogether it promises to be a day of hilarity, pleasure and ginger pop at the Shades.

.Vrcitleniall.v Mint,

On Saturday afternoon the sons of John Fouts. of near Waynetown, were hunting in the woods when le who had a llobert rifle accidentally shot his brother through the head. 1- or awhile it was feared the wound was fatal but at last accounts the lad was doing well.

TO HELPWOMEN.

That Is "Why This AVomau Writes.

-.[SPECIAL TO OUR l.ADY READERS.]

Few people have any idea of the suffering that oppresses some women. Pains run rampant through their entire bodies. They suffer secretly as long as tliey can, and then go all to pieces and don't care what happens.

[LAJ-H. BEND|FT

Yet this misery is easily re­

lieved thousands of American women proclaim the fact. The portrait presented here is that of Mrs. J. M. Render, who lives on the old York Road at Nicetown, Pa. She has been for many years in very poor health.

She had falling of the womb and other forms of female weakness, with headache, severe backache, pains all over her body and serious kidney trouble.

Her blood was in such a bad state that physicians said she had dropsy. Nearly discouraged she tried Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and to her great surprise it made her a well woman.

She now wishes to tell women all over the world to take the Vegetable Compound and be well. Any druggist has it.

Nothing in all the world has cured so many cases of female weaknesses as Lydia E. Pinkham'8 Vegetable Compound. Why doo't you try it
