FRIDAY, APPJL 27. 1900.

THK Democrats of i.ialeigh, N. C., have indorsed the lion. Julian S. Carr, the millionaire tobacco manufacturer, for United States senator. The Democrats, however, are violently opposed to millionaires in the other party.

THE Crawfordsviile News-Review has espoused the candidacy of Capt. Allen for congress and is re-publishing all the stuff printed about that worthy by the Frankfort Crescent. Has the Netrs-lie-view lost sight of the Montgomery county candidates?

SECRETARY GAGK predicts a surplus .of •$(0,000,000 during the current fiscal year, and a surplus of $82,000,000 dui--iug the year ending June 30, 1901, Secretary Carlisle used to predict deficiencies, and his predictions were always verified under Democratic methods.

Jx 1892 the people voted fora change. In the four subsequent years they found themselves without a cent of change. This year they are content with the change they have in their pockets and won't throw away the substance for the shadow again, even to please the Democratic party of pessimism.

THERE was an increase of $18,3-12,715 in the amount of money in circulation in the United States during March, the total being, April 1, $2,021,274,506. or $2(i. 12 per capita of the population. On July 1, 1896, it was only $21.10 per capita, but that was under Democratic management of our national affairs.

THE McKinley administration is keeping out of this country the mountains of cheap wool from Australia and South America. This is the reason, and the only reason, why the farmers here are getting a price for their wool which enables them to make a profit. Shall we ever forget the free wool times of Grover the Good?

IF the people of the country refused to purchase articles made by trusts there would soon be no trusts. The defeat of the steel wire and nail, trust is proof of this. The farmers refused to buy at trust prices. The product accumulated on the trust's hands until a mimber of mills had to be closed and then the trust had to acknowledge defeat and lower its prices.

THE people of Montgomery county have an opportunity to give a blow to one of the moBt iniquitous trusts in the country—the Standard oil trust. There is a rival company, made up of home men, now doing business here and it has forced the Standard to lower prices in this community. Still some of the men who put in a goodly portion of their time wailing about robber trusts go right on buying Standard oil and thus doing all in their power to hurt the home company.

"IN 1896," said a farmer friend of THE JOURNAL, "I marketed my wool in Crawfordsviile and purchased the same day a $14 suit of clothes. This suit cost me the proceeds of 100 pounds of wool. I haven't marketed my wool yet this year, but I know the price it will bring, and I further know that I can purchase the same kind of a suit of clothes I got in 1S90 for the same money. When 1 sell my clip this year I can buj my suit of clothes for the proceeds of 56 pounds of wool."

THE farmers of Montgomery county are having a practical and pleasing demonstration of McKinley times just at present. They are preparing to market their wool and it must be satisfactory to note that the market this year is four cents higher than it was last year. There has been a steady increase in the price of wool every year since McKinley has been President. In 1896 this market paid the highest price paid in Indiana for wool and it paid just fourteen cents then. Moreover the clip then was not more than half as large as it will be this year and all the farmers, except those who read the signs of the times and who knew that McKinley's proposed protection would be voted for by the people of the country, were sick and tired of the sheep business and were trying to sell their sheep for mutton on an overstocked meat market. To-day it is hard to buy sheep for mutton and the prices paid are big. The farmers are making money to-day on their sheep and are increasing their ilocks. If Mr

McKinley is re-elected, and he will be, there is every reason to believe that under the prospect of four more years of plenty the wool market next spring will be even higher than it is this year

MOKE TIME FOR THE PRIMARIES. We believe that we voice the sentiments of all good Republicans when we say that at the township and county primaries to elect delegates there should bo ample time to get out a'full vole. In the call for thdf township primaries the hour for opening the polls is given but no time for closing is fixed. Thus each precinct stops voting whenever those who happen to be standing around the polls decido to close. The busy man who votes and hurries away has nothing to say. In the past some precincts have closed in as short a time as five or ten minutes, while others have been held open as long as an hour. There should be uniformity in this matter, so that voters and candidates may know before hand just what to expect. The present system encou'rages trickery and is manifestly unfair. It does not bring out a full vote.

The primaries for the election of delegates to the city Republican convention two years ago were models of decency and order.' There was a full vote and everything was satisfactory. Good delegates were elected and they nominated a strong ticket. The polls on that occasion were open four hours and It was so announced before hand.

Wo believe it highly desirable that the committee make a similar announcement for the township primaries, although the call i* out as well 3/3 for the county primaries.

THE house committee on pensions has been revising the general pension laws. The most important of the proposed changes is to increase the age limit on which pensions are to be allowed, fixing a sliding scale between the ages of sixty-two and seventy, viz: Six dollars at sixty-two years, $8 at sixty-five, $10 at sixty-eight, and $12 at seventy. Another important amendment increases from $96 to $250 the amount of annual income which a widow may have without forfeiting the right to a pension. The Republicans hope to pass a bill to this effect.

AMERICAN manufacturers are sweeping everything before them in Siberia. When we have established a great commercial mart at Manila, our expansion in the Orient will be unparalleled.

MR. BRYAN has duly promulgated the platform upon which he desires to run. A similar performance on the part of a Republican would very promptly be termed "bossism."

Death of William Bolser.

William Bolser, aged forty-nine years, died of consumption Monday at the family residence on west Pike street. The funeral took place on Wednesday at two o'clock p. m. The services were conducted by Rev. II. L. Davis and the interment was at Oak Hill. Mr. Bolser had long lived in this community and was a man highly respected. He leaves a wife and one child.

An Event of^Momcnt.

The marriage of Rev. J. S. Crowder, of Darlington, and Miss May Fullenwider, which will occur on the evening of May 10 at the home of Robert Fullenwider, of Brown township, will be a function of considerable moment and a large number of invitations have been issued. Miss Harriett Houser and Miss Mabel Kanouse, of this city, will act as bridesmaids on the occasion.

"Sapho" Is Coming.

Manager Townsley has booked the celebrated play "Sapho"' for Music Hall and it will be put on the boards next Monday night. The company to stage it is the best one on the road. While the play has been radically criticised by the press over the country it has received many Mattering notices and those who attend expecting to sec something shocking will bo sadly disappointed.

Death of Rev. Jacob Dice

Rev. Jacob Dice, the father of Hon. M. Dice of this city, died on Sunday at his home in Veedersburg. He was quite old and his death had been anticipated for some time. He was a pioneer of this part of the state and was a man of remarkable strength of character, being highly respected by all who knew him.

Over the Briny.

A letter has been received from Austin Watson announcing his safe arrival in England after an exceptionally rough voyage. He expects to spend some time in London before going to Paris.

Death of Mrs. John Cawley.

Mrs. John Cawley died quite suddenly at her home in Greencastle last Tuesday. The cause of her death is not known. She was well known here where she had frequently visited,

A Neat Edition.

J. R. Peterson, of the Darlington Echo, issued a special edition in honor of the graduates of the Darlington high school. It was profusely illustrated and a handsome number.

WATERLOO, IND., Feb. 11, 1897. Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello. 111. GENTLEMEN:—I have been a great sufferer from indigestion and stomach trouble until about two years ago when I began using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. I have found it the only remedy to give me permanent relief and I cheerfully recommend its use to anyone in need of such a remedy.

RISING 3REAST

A MUDDY MAY.

Brother Micks Promises All Kinds of Wild Weather for Next Month.

llev. Irl R. Hicks, the famous weather prophet, in his publication, Word and Wvrks, gives a forecast of the weather for the month of May, promising a variety of violent and sudden llights and depressions of temperature. "To interpret the forecasts correctly for May. it is necessary to observe that a Venus disturbance is central on the flth, and that its peculiar perturbing iniluence is in force throughout the month. May is also about the center of a period when the focus of solar energy expresses itself most forcibly, along the middle tier of states from west to east. {Hence violent and sudden llights and depressions of temperature will alternate with each other, in close proximity and rapid succession, neces-1 sarily producing very intense storm' conditions. Thunder storms, local deluges of rain and hail, with tornadic results in many localities, all followed quickly by change to very cool, with frosts over much of the country northward, are the main characteristics of disturbing causes during this month. '"A very warm wave for the season will appear during the Vulcan storm period, central on the 4th and extending to the 7th. The Mercury period cuts into the last part of this period and combines with Venus in prolongingjand intensifying conditions favorable tofstorms. From about the 4th to 6th this Vulcan period normally would pass its crisis and end in high barometer and much cooler but a series of rain and thunder storms, lasting for several days, and culminating about the Sth in general electrical storms need not surprise, as on that date moon crosses the celestial equator, being an apogee at the same time. A decided change to colder will immediately succeed the 'breaking up storm' of this daily cycle. "It is proper to say that all storm clouds thoughout this period, and lasting over the reactionary storm days, the 10th and 11th, should be calmly and carefully scanned. Let no one conclude that tornadoes or dangerous storms must arise at this time, but let all understand that such thing's are probable. The center of the tornado season, as a rule, falls later in May, but we believe that the greatest number of severe storms will fall before the 20th of the present month. There will be dangerjof frosts anywhere in the central and northern states, with the advent of any high barometer that may break in from the northwest behind electrical storms, quite up to the middle of May. "A marked reaction to warmer will appear from 21st to 24th, the barometer will fall, and many electrical storms are probable about the passage of the moon over the celestial equator on the 22d. These disturbances will naturally blend, more or less, with the perturbations of the Vulcan period, 25th to 29th, because the moon is at its perigee on the 24th, tending to prolong phenomena of the previous and hasten the disturbances of the approaching period. The great planet Jupiter is in opposition with sun and earth on May 27th, the central day of the Vulcan storm period, and within less than twenty-four hours of the total eclipse of the sun on the 28th. About Saturday, the 26th, to Tuesday, the 29th, watch your barometer and all atmospheric conditions, closely, and suffer no storm clouds to come upon you without exercising due vigilance. Seismic and earthquake phenomena will be felt in many quarters of the earth within a period of five days, taking the 27th as the central day. Watch the world's telegraphic reports and see."

Rufus Clevenger met with a very serious accident last Sunday. He was on his way to round Hill to attend the funeral of Mr. Shields, and when near the crossing over the Monon at Carney's corner, a south bound train came along which frightened the horse he was driving. Mr, Clevenger's wife and child had fortunately got out of the buggy and Mr. Clevenger was holding the horse by the head. When the train came along the horse began to back, rear and plunge, and struck Mr. Clevenger a very hard blow in the chest which will be apt to lay him up for some time. The buggy was completely demolished.
