FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1899.

INCLUDING 1900, the Democrats will have had three ofl years.

THK fine handiwork of Hanna can be readily discerned in the recent tidal-wave disaster in Japan.

THE gravel that waB placed on oar streets a few months ago has now reached the consistency of mud pies and should be carried off to make room for afresh supply.

EX-SENATOB SHERMAN'S Democratic friends, recently acquired since^th^ expression of his con8ervativ«^vi&w^B on expansion, seem to have forgotten' his frightful "crime of '73."

THE city authorities might, profitably employ some of their time in looking up defective cement walkB and curbs. The contractors should be held strictly to account for imperfect work.

NOTWITHSTANDING the plain and straightforward advice of several important Democratic editors, President McKinley continues to stumble along in

hiB

own dogged and impertinent

fashion. ON the subject of trusts Mr. Bryan and leaders of organized labor differ. Bryan holds that trusts are necessarily viciouB and should be abolished. Labor leaders say that trusts, like oyerything el6B, have th^ir ^ood and bad points and thafoi' Wp'oseible to so regulate them- that the good will far outweigh the bad. They say that industry organized by large aggregations of capital insures better conditions for labor, better pay, shorter hours and lnore permanent employment. The more the trust question is studied the more it is Been that a blind and indiscriminate war against trusts will not win.

THE beginning of the new year is likely to see the money in circulation fa the United States very close to the ^12.000,000,000 figure. The circulation

November 1st was 81,963,716,148 and Secretary Gage proposes to put $25,000,000 more into circulation by redeeming outstanding bonds not yet due. Add to this the constant inflow of money due to the excess of our exports over imports and it would seem that the two billion mark cannot bevery far off. What might Mr. Bryan think Qf the $3 000,000,00040 Qirculalion as agaihst 0i$,)S5,614'' at the date of his nomination, when he said that no increase was possible without the adoption of his then pet theory?

THK board which has been considering the bids recently submitted to the navy department, for the construction of the Bix armored cruisers provided for by the last congress, has recommended that each of the following firms shall be awarded a contract to build one cruiser: Union Iron Works, San Francisco Lewis Nixon (Orescent Ship Building Works), Elizabethport, New Jersey Bath Iron Works, Bath, Me. Trigg Ship BuildiBg Company, Richmond, "Va. Fore River Engine Company, Braintree, Mass and Neafie & Levy, Philadelphia, Pa. There commendation must be acted upon by Secretary Long before it becomes effective, but there is no doubt of its ap proval. The price for each cruiser, excluBive of armor, slightly exceeds one million dollars.

THE Cleveland Leader, which haB a general reputation for fairness and getting at the facts, has made a cacyas of 78 factories in Cleveland, showing the condition of affairs now and three years ago—in 1896. It appears that the number of men now employed in those factories is 60 per cent, larger than three yearB ago, while the total sum paid per month as wages, is 75 per cent, greater than in 1896.

Other similar inquiries show like results throughout Ohio. Figures from 255 factories and shops in the state show 68 per ccnt. increase in the num ber of men employed since 1896 and 80 per cent- increase in the totaltmonthly pay roll. The Leader says: "A conservative estimate based upon these facts shows that in the state of Ohio the workers in the shops and factories are now being paid $3,000,000 more per month in wageB than they received in the last year of the last Democratic administration." In view of such a change in Ohio's fieldB of industry, from the times of the Wilson law to those of McKinley ism, it is not re markable that the state rolled up a great majority for the Republicans.

Statesman's Ambition.

Indianapolis Journal-. James O'Hara, an attorney of Peru, and a close friend of James F. Stutesman, who has been mentioned as a candidate for the reportership of the supreme court, was at the Occidental yesterday, and gave it out, in an authoritative manner that Mr. Stuesman will not oppose the renomination of Charles F. Remy, who will ask to be returned to the place, in conformity with the custom of allowing all state officers two terms if they desire them.

In discussing the reason for this move on the part of Mr. Stutesman, Mr. O'Hara said that, while no formal announcement

haB

been made as yet,

he understood from talks he had had vtith Mr. Stutesman that the latter had but-a single ambition and that was to represent his district in congress, and that, at the right time, he would make the effort to secure the nomination. He said the only question now being considered by Mr. Stutesman was whether it would be advisable to make the race next year or two .years later, but his friends are advising

him

to come out at once..

GAS FOR SOME TIME**,

No Danger of Exhaustion of

J. C. Leach, of Kokomo, state supervisor of natural gas, who called on the state geologist, at the state house yesterday, says he sees no reason to .fear the immediate exhaustion of natural gas in Indiana. It will last four or five years longer for manufacturing purposes, he says, and after that it will be used in houses. "There is no doubt, however," Mr. Leach said, but that there has been, and is yet, a steady decrease in natural gas pressure in the state. I have just finished testing 128 gas wells in weBtern Grant county, which now show an average pressure of 154 pounds—a year ago the same wells show c! an average pressure of 183 pounds. Mr. Leach says this Bhowing represents the general condition of the gas pressure over .the state.

There is yet territory, he sayB, that has not been fully developed. This lies in the southeastern part of Grant county, the northeastern part of Madison county and.the northwestern part of Delaware county. He thinks thiB territory, when developed, will yield a pressure of about 185 pounds. "The gas territory in general over the state haB been fairly well developed ." he Baid, "and there is not muqH^Hew territory in which wells hav&'n.ot -been drilled, but in many places' the wells are comparatively few. In this kind of territory I believe the gas companies will put down wells with fairly good results—not aB good aB have been realized, but pretty good, when one considers the decreasing pressure."

The supervisor says the amount of gas that has been piped* out of the state into Chicago has been largely exaggerated. While Chicago is drawing from Indiana gaB territory itB supply is small, he says, compared with the great amount ofigas that is being consumed in Indiana.

Mr. Leach says he thinks Indianapolis will have gas at the present rate of supply for two or three years yet. If economy is used^it may last longer. He believes the report of the Indianapolis Commercial club on the gas question was a fair one. While the use of meters and gas saving appliances may extend the Bupply of gas for this city alone for a time, and would he says, undoubtedly give Indianapolis better service whil$ 'tW meters were in use, the meter Bystem would not materially lengthen the time that natural gas could be used.

The gas supervisor says he believes the supply of gas recently discovered at Loogootee will not be lasting.

AGUINALDO

News of Pursuit of Insurgent Chief Not Expected For a Day or Two

Manila, Nov. 28.—News from the pursuit of Aguinaldo is not expected for" a day or two. Yesterday a report reached General Lawton by courier, from General Young that people knowing the country think Aguinaldo's destination is Iloicos. With General Lawton's troops in a position to move toward Bayomboug by every road from the south and with impenetrable mountains, peopled by unfriendly, semisavage tribes behind, Bayombong would be a poor refuge.

It is reported that General Lawton is moving northward from Tayug with infantry to head off Aguinaldo.

Geueral Young has only one troop of cavalary and the Macabees, who originally numbered 300. Aguinaldo is supposed to have two days' start from Avaugay.

The Newport and Tartar havs arrived.

Trouble Among the Sulu Islanders. Washington, "Nov. 23.—Latest mail advices from Manila indicate the existence of serious trouble among the Sulu islanders, growing out of the killing by some of the followers of the sultan of nine of the adherents of Dato Jakanine, the most powerful and influential sub chief of the archipelago.

December 9th

Is the time we have set to open up our new store in the Mahorney rooms. Messrs. Gregg & Son have been very kind to us in remodeling the rooms from the cellar to the roof. When completed we will have nice rooms to move our stock- to and pleasant rooms to sell goods in. "We thank our patrons and friends who have traded with us so long at the old corner, and ask them to continue with us at our new place, and it will always be our aim' to treat our customers with the best of satisfaction, and we ask our customers if anything is wrong to come to the firm with their complaint and we will right it." After December the 8th we will adopt the cash business in the grocery. Every article will be sold for cash in the grocery line and we will give prices that will convince the customer that it pays to buy for cash. We can not give low prices and sell groceries on credit and this is the reason we adopt the cash system in groceries. We want to say that we are selling a great many articles at less than we can buy them to-day, as we do not want to move them. We will continue part of our store at the old stand until after the first of January to close out a great many articles that we do not want to move. It is a good time to buy goods in our line now as everything has advanced from 20 to 30 per cent. You will find (that* we are selHng ^ooda?teheaper. jn Furniture, Stoves, a a
