FHE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY’ A. J. HILL. Friday, December 29 1882. English capitalists are purchasing large quantities of land in this country as an investment. If the prohibition folks had as much Sense as they exhibit {Juck, they might advance their cause much more effectually than they have so far. Ot'R law makers will assemble at Indianapolis shortly. If they but undo some of the work of the last legislature, they will deserve the gratitude of the people of the state. The National party are trying to scoop the prohibitionists. In the natural order of things they might do so, but it is impossible so long as the prohibitionists tie themselves to the tail of the Republican kite. There is trouble ahead. There is not enough privates in Uncle Sam s army to give each officer a respectable command. There is a proposition to increase the army to forty thousand, when it is thought there will be barely enough privates to go around. Ot'R temperance friends who are trying to flood the country with petitions should also remember that the lesson of the election voices instruction. Between the petitions and the instruction there may be a very large amount of friction. Thike it talk of reducing the tax on whiskey and tobacco. When the internal revenue is taken off of every thing else and the tariff and tax on whiskey and tobacco combined produce a greater revenue than necessary for the puposes of the government, then w ill be the time to reduce the tax on these articles and not before. The star route people are partly stalwarts and partly half breeds. The stalwarts wish to convict the. half breeds and let their friends escape, and the half breed wish to do the same by their friends. Between them they are having oceans of trouble. The government would economize by building a wall around the whole gang and then organize a penitentiary.
