FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27,1895.

"AND the greatest of these is charity." ,___________

CHARITY should begin at home. While you are raising money for the heathen look around you and see if there are some heathen next door who greatly stand in need of some of this fund.

SYMPATHY for the poor is all right, so far as it goes, but it will not buy groceries and clothing, nor keep a roof over the heads of those in needy circumstances. Sympathy should assume a practical form.

IF, as President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle maintain, the revenue is sufficient why do they ask for the power to make bond issues at will? They seem to proceed upon the theory that this government is all right so long as it can borrow money to pay current expenses.

ANOTHER pot shot like that Venezuela message and the .people will declare for "four more years for Grover." This is no joke either.—Argus-News.

Grover has too many other sins to answer for. One righteous act will not atone for the other shortcomings of this Administration. "Four years of Grover" have been enough.

NOTWITHSTANDING the silence of President Cleveland and the prophecyof the false prophet, Secretary Carlisle, that there will be a surplus in the treasury at the end of the fiscal year, 1897, the fact is that now «the deficit for December so far is nearly $3,000,000, of the -fiscal year of nearly S19,000,000*and for the Cleveland administration of 8131,000,000. It is a further fact that the gold reserve is down to 872,000,000. '.

GEN- "LEW WALLACE delivered the principal address at the meeting of kthe Indiana Commandery of the Loyal .Legion held at Evansville last night.

He took for His theme that which is uppermost in the minds of the people, the Venezuela controversy and the patriotic stand that the President ot the United States has taken in the matter. He but voiced the sentiment of every Union soldier, whether officer or private, who went from Indiana when he said that they are lovers of the flag. That sentiment covers the whole range of patriotism. ,,

OF the little criticism made of Cleveland's first American message, the San:'dusky Register says:

We all indorse the President BO far as he approves of the Monroe doctrine, because we all indorse that doctrine, but it is a trifle amusing to notice that the learned professors of the two great Mugwump schools, Harvard and Yale, are disposed to make fun of it. This is the first time since Mr. Cleveland's first ^nomination for the Presidency that any Mugwump has ventured to call in question the profound wisdom of any act or saying of his Royal Nibs, and it is a little tough on him now, so near the end of his career, that the Mugwumps should venture to criticize his action or his sayings.

THE war spirit is abroad in the land, and for the first time in our history the people are practically a unit. During the Revolutionary struggle there were tories in every colony. During the war of 1812 England bad many sympathizers in this country. During the Mexican war there were opposers on every hand. During the civil war the country was, of course, divided. Even in the North traitors were as thick as blackberries in harvest. But the country is eager and anxious for a war with England at this time. The President's sudden conversion to Americanism has met with a universal response from the people. He has converted every anti-jingoist in the land into a Jingo.

TERRE HAUTE Express: James A. Mount, who has been in attendance at the Farmers' Institute, is the most popular of all speakers who addresses the Indiana institutes. He has come here for years in succession and the farmers listen to, his cheerful and practical talks with increasing interest. Mr. Mount must do much good with his talks throughout the counties by his encouraging and cheerful optimism, his pride in his profession, farming, and his vigorous effort to inspire his fellows with the same pride and confidence in farming. There is not a calamity drop nor a lazy bone in his body. If Mr. Mount should capture the nomination for Governor the farmers would rally around him in great force.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE. If the Monroe Doctrine means anything, it applies most distinctly te such attempts as that of England to rob Venezuela of a slice of territory as large as Indiana. In his message sent to Congress Dec. 2, 1823, President Monroe said:

We owe it to candor aad to the amicable relations existing between the United States and the Allied Powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.

With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered, and shall not interfere. But with the Governments which have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and just principles acknowledged, we could not view an interposition for oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power, in any other light than as manifestation an unfriendly disposition toward the United States

THE JOURNAL bemoans the fact that a Democratic congress cut off the sugar bounty and thus placed sugar planters on a level with wheat and corn growers. Sugar is cheaper to-day than ever, in fact too cheap.—Argus News.

The Democratic Congress reduced the tariff on wheat from 25 cents a bushel to 20 per centjadvarlorem, and corn from 20 cents a bushel to 20 per cent advalorem. At the same time it increased the tariff on sugar, not above No 16 Dutch standard, 100 per cent, and above 1G, on beet 185 per c«_nt, on cane 236 per cent, and on maple 569 per cent. And this is the way that sugar planters were placed on a level with wheat and corn growers! But the queerest thing in the above extract are the admissions that the Argus News makes. These admissions are that by placing a tariff on sugar it is "cheaper than ever, in fact too cheap." A favorite dogma of the free trader has been that a "tariff is a tax," and that an article was increased in price by precisely the amount of the tariff. And now comes one of the oracles and makes the astounding admission, after an increase in the tariff of 100 to 569 per cent on sugar, that it is "cheaper than ever."

THE average cuckoo can change its tune as often as the chameleon can change its color. Now there is the Argus News only the day before President Cleveland's message appeared I was shouting most lustily in deri'' I of Jingo statesmen. Contrary to 'LO A. N.'s expectations Mr. Cleveland outjingoed old Jingo himself to the full satisfaction of every so-called Jingo in the country, and thereupon the little cuckoo loses no time in flopping over into the ranks of the Jingoists. It is to be confessed that the outburst of patriotism on the part of Mr. Cleveland was unexpected, and it is not strange that the Argus News should be caught in such a "delicate predicament" as to be compelled to change its attitude toward jingoism in such a brief space of time. While the brethren are extending the right hand of fellowship to the Argus Neivs the choir will sing— "We don't want to fight but, by

Jingo, if we do,

We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money, too."

WE suppose THE JOURNAL means that wool should be taken off the free list for the benefit of a few thousand sheep raisers, and the cost of woolen goods to millions of people be raised 25 per cent.—Argus-News.

We suppose that there would be as much justice in taking wool off the free list for the benefit of a few thousand sheep raisers, as it was to take sugar off the free list for the benefit of a few thousand sugar raisers. If by placing a duty on sugar made it "cheaper than ever, in fact too cheap" as the Argus-News has asserted, would not it have the same effect on woolen goods? If the duty on sugar was beneficial to the sugar grower and at the same time made it "cheaper than ever," would not a tariff on wool be beneficial to the wool grower, and at the same time make it "cheaper than ever" to the consumer. If the principle is true in the one case it is certainly true in the other.

To summarize Secretary Olne.^ '8 statement of the situation, the points involved in the trouble between England and the United States are the- e: The title to a large extent of territory is in dispute between England and Venezuela, which Venezuela for a quarter of a centuary has been endeavoring to submit to arbitration-, but England has refused, and now refuse when ordered by the United States, to agree to any such settlement except upon a renunciation of a large part of Venezuela's claims. This is a controversy, the Secretary says, in which "the honor and interests" of the United States are involved, "and the continuance of which it can not regard with indifference." The Secretary holds that to yield to Great Britain would not be in cosonance with the Monroe doctrine.

ELSEWHERE THE JOURNAL reprints the report by the New York Tribune of the decision of the Supreme Court of New York in the Fayerweather will case as of especial interest in this local ity for the reason that Wabash College is one of the beneficiaries both in the original will and by the executorB

,'ri^f ^^,F•^!s'• vi^

who held a deed of trust for the distribution of the residue. It will be seiit that "the colleges that received gifts under the will have won the victory in their fight with the executors for the residue of the estate, but so long as,the costs are taxed on the estate, and there is yet another court to go to, the colleges are likely to go without this money for some time. The Tribune, commenting editorially on the decision, says: ii

It would be a pleasure to believe that the decision rendered by the General Term yesterday in reference to the Fayerweather bequests would be accepted as final by all concerned. But we fear that it is too much to hope. So long as there is an opportunity for another appeal it would be against legal human nature to resist the temptation to prolong the litigation to the ultimate point. How much has already been spent io counsel fees it is impossible to tell, but in the end it will all presumably come out of the estate, and the sum rece'ved by the institutions at last will be considerably diinished by_ the drafts thus made on it. The three Judges whi satin the General Term are so decisive in their opinions cistaining Judge Truax that it seems sc^""»lv possible for their finding to be set aside if the caso goes to the Court of Appeals.

A FEW days after Lord Salisbury, the English Premier, declared in a speech that free trade has almost killed agriculture in that country, Embassador Bayard, at Edinburgh, denounced the protective system as the sum of villainies, and the recent verdict of the American people in their elections as a pitiable exhibition of weakness and folly. Lord Salisbury speaks of a deplorable fact which every intelligent Englishman views with dread, while Mr. Bayard pours his wrath»upon his countrymen for .removing from power a party bent on policies admitted to be ruinous abroad, and fast demonstrating their blighting effects on this side of the Atlantic. Mr. Bayard is not where he can be reached readily by the ballot, but if the case were otherwise he would be buried under a mountain of votes as the worst misrepresentative the United States has ever had in a leading foreign nation.

SPEAKER REED announced his committees in the House last Saturday, just two days earlier than Speaker C.risp announced them in the last Congress. The Indiana delegation was exceedingly well treated by the Speaker, the thirteen being placed on twenty committees. most of th&m important.

THERE are a •g'ood many deserving persons who will suffer privation and want during the next few months if they are not relieved. Our township trustee is already overburdened, and it is impossible for him to investigate many worthy cases. The charity organization which has done such noble work during the past few winters should be revived. The law of humanity demands such an organization. The officers of this association should immediately take steps to call it into life.

CHICAGO Inter-Ocean: The people like the President's new uniform. He ought to have put it on and stood up for American interests long ago. There would not have been to-day so many closed workshops and so many collapsed pocketbookets if he had. He has been playing a big hand in the interests of European workshops with his "tariff reform."

TIRED stomach is very much like a sprained ankle. If you suffer from any of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stomach is tired. It needs a crutch. We must relieve it of all work for a time, or until it is restored to its natural strength. To do this successfully, we must use a food which is already digested outside of the body, and which will aid the digestion of other foods that may be taken with o. Such a product is the Shaker Digestive* Cordial.

A Woman's Heart.

ONE DISEASE THAT BAFFLES THE PHYSICIAN.

Tli« Mwy of a Wornaa who Suffered or Nlai Twrti How She wag Cured.' tfit Newark, A'. J., Evening New*.)

Valvular disease of the heart has always been considered incurable. The -following interview therefore, will interest the medical profession, since it describes the "successful caeof a now treatment for this diseuw. Tha patient i»_ Mrs. Geo Archer, of Ciii'ton, N. J., and this publication by the News is the first mention made of the case by any newspaper. All physicians consulted pronounced the patient aufiering with valvular disease oi the heart, and treated her without the (lightest relief. Kirs. Archer said: I could lot walk across the floor neither could I go ip stain without stopping to let the pain in uy chert and left arm cease. I felt an awful lonstriatiou about my arm and chest tis -hough I were tied with ropes. Then there vus »terrible noise at my right ear, like the a bored breathing of some great animiil. I rive often turned expecting to see some .-raature at my side. "Last July," continued Mrs. Archer,"I .'as at Springfield, Mass., visiting, and my -1 t.her showed me an account in the SpringHi ICicaminer. telling of the wonderful •ires affected by the use of Dr. Williams' 'ink Pills for Pale People. My mother f!jed me ta'try the pills and on November :'th last I bought a box and began taking .ium, and I have taken them ever sinco, •xcept for a ahort interval. The first box did nfc seem to benefit me, but I persevered, icouraged by the requests of ray relatives. Vfcsr beginning on the second box, to mv rander the noise at my rijjht ear cease .1 sntirely. I kept right on and the distress •hat I used to feel in mv chest and ar:n gradually disappeared. The blood has returned to my face, lips andvears, whioh vero ?ntirely devoid of color, and I feel well and strong again.

My son, too, had been troubled with gtstritis and I induced bim to try the Pink Pills, with great benefit. I feel that everybody ught to know of my wonderful cure and bless God that I have found something that bas given me this great relief."

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are now givp.n the public as an unfailing blood builder md nerre restorer, curing ail forms of waakmss arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes most every ill that flesh is heir to. Th-sc oills are also a specific for the trouble ^cuUar to females, such as suppressions, all ~irms of weakness, ohronic constipation, bearing down pains, etc., and in the case of man will give speedy relief and effect a por--nanent cure in all cases arising from menb.i irirry, overwork, or excesses of whatever uture.

From the arrangements that were made it showed that Mr. Gilkey had spared co pains to make the evening one of pleasure. Several speeches were made by the little folks, which were very good what ojuld be heard of them but, by the way, there were present some very loud-talkiug people from other neighborhoods, which were welcome if they

We hope they will take warning by this and try and behave themselves the next time they iro to a school entertainment. A basket of fruit was given to the prettiest girl, Miss Flora Hays taking the fruit. We wish Mr. Gilkey better luck next time.
