GKOVEH CLEVELAND has declared that the President should be elected for a longer term than at present. Grover must be leaning toward empire.
Ik
Montgomery county Democrats continue to come over to the Republican party the number of serfs will be mighty small when ''the empire" is finally established.
THE doors are still open and the light still holds out to burn. A few more leading Democrats will be joyfully welcomed into the Republican fold of Montgomery county. Hereafter let our voice be unanimous wm mercial and industrial expansion
THE POSITION OK THOMI'SON ANI BENJAMIN.
It has been frequently calked on the streets and elsewhere that Taylor Thompson and Charley Benjamin are backing the prosecution of the lloaters with the expectation of claiming the reward of $100 in each instance and thus profiting pecuniarily. While this would not in any way detract from the good to the community to be derived from disfranchising the lloaters, it might discourage a further prosecution of the good work, We take pleasure in stating to the public that the motives of Messrs. Thompson and Benjamki have been entirely misconstrued. THE JOURNAL has interviewed both these gentlemen and they both state positively and unequivocally that they do not intend to claim any more of the reward than enough to pay a reasonable attorney's fee and other legitimate expenses. They also say that they acted in the matter because they knew of two or three other men who were ready to do the same thing. -Mr. Benjamin says he saw that he was bound to go to court and testify anyway and he thought he might as well do it on his own hook a.s be forced by someone else who would claim the reward. Mr. Thompson says he has worked in politics for many years and that he has become thoroughly tired of being bullyragged bv the lloaters. He wants to get rid of them.
Thefe is another phase of the matter which will be of interest to the tax payer. While it has now been demonstrated that the cost of disfranchising our vote sellers will not be excessive as the pauper attorney seems to fear, because no one proposes to claim the reward in any large amount, yet the very action of this attorney if he persists in making every lloater stand trial, will cost the county a large sum of money. Each trial according to the estimate of a conservative lawyer will cost $40 or $50, and if it lasts over a day will cost a great deal more. In addition to this will be the loss of time to important litigation of various kinds. Now if the pauper attorney will keep hands off and allow the lloaters to plead guilty as the most of them are disposed to do, he will save the tax payers the trial costs which will amount to a large sum if he prevails upon them to plead not guilty.
Those interested in disfranchising the lloaters can assure the tax payers that their plan is comparatively inexpensive. The interference volunteered by the pauper attorney is the only thing that will cause a raid on the county treasury.

revolt as unwarranted as it has been costly. "Many young Democrats aspire to political advancement. Tlioy may be assured that there is nothing but political death and burial for the man who advocates the retreat of an American soldier in the face of an enemy or who urges the taking down of the American ilag under lire. "The insurrection of Aguinaldo has made American rule in the Philippines necessary, even if there were no other considerations. Every life lost there in the service of the people and every dollar spent there to maintain the authority of the[republic and to put aown its enemies is an additional reason, if any were needed, why there should be no surrender there, as there never ha* been any surrender elsewhere. "As to the main question there will be no great difference of opinion among the American people. The Philippines will be. retained. Ten years from now the idea that they might have been abandoned, after having been acquired as they were, will be laughed at. Discussion such as we heard in the late campaign will be closed, and properly, for it was based on an evident misconception of facts."
Death of Harmon Hiatt.
Harmon Hiatt, a well known and aged resident of this county, died last evening at his home just south of Crawfordsville. Mr. Hiatt had been in failing health for over two years. He operated a fruit farm and took quite an interest in pubi lie affairs during his active life, writing much for the press.

one of the
soundest and be^t edited Democratic papers in the great west, contains the following good advice to young and aspiring Democrats: "Right or wrong, the United States are in the Philippines to stay. Their authority is unquestioned. No territory in the world is held by a clearer title. Resistance to the lawful authority of the United States in the Philippines is as righteously to be put down as would fcbe resistance to the same authority in Arizona. •'Gentlemen who imagine that the American gpeople care to treat with rebels intarmsljare strangely forgetful of the stern lesson inculcated on this continent in 1861-5. There can be no negotiations withifcbanditti who, with professions of a love of liberty on their lips, sneakinglyassassinate the soldiers of the liberator with their hands. The government and the army will have the loyal support of every true American in every valorous effort that they may make toward the suppression of a

The watchnight meeting of the Rebekah lodge on Monday night was a grand affair. There were oysters in profusion and enjoyment of the best quality. As the clock showed that midnight was rapidly approaching a gloom appeared to settle over the audience. An aged form with hoary head and frosted beard bowed down with the cares and trials of a hundred years awaited with a look of the greatest intensity for the tolling of the bells and the stroke of the midnight clock to proclaim the death of the dying century. Across the portals of time a white robed youth is awaiting the same stroke of the clock and the joyous ringing of the bells that proclaim his birth, his strong young limbs quivering with eagerness to lift up the burdens the old man will drop. The stroke comes, the old is gone and the new century is here strong in all his vital parts. He begins life with promise of great development and we now write it 1901.
