She democrat JT. BXaOKBUJUf, Proprietor. FRIDA r, JAN, 22, 1892. Quays libil suit is on at New York. Senator Palmer is for Cleveland and objects to free silver. Senator Sherman was in his seat for the first time Monday since bis re-election. The question of electing senators by popular vote is being discussed over the country. Consideration of Wood’s nomination was again postponened by the judiciary committee. A bill Das been introduced in the House to establish courts for Indians in the various reservations. A bill has been introduced in the senate to elect tlie president and vice-president by direct vote of the people. Ax Illinois watch factory employing 3,000 men, w hich belongs to tin trusts, has jti-t reduced wages fron 15 to CO per cent. When Cleveland’s name was mentioned at the Reform Club dinner, at New Fork, Saturday night, it created a big boom. Since the year 1857 there have not been so many business failures as in the year 1891. In 1890 the number reached was 10 907; in '9l, 12,273. The Supreme jUourt Dais decided that a national bank m one state can bring suit against any citizen ol another state in the district where such citizen resides. Why would it not be a good scheme for the administration to suspend the bull-dozing of Chili un- * . til it can chase Gen. Garza out of bordeY»*'and keep •him f .out? Governor Campbell came to the front with the briefest guber natonal message on record. He refered the legislature to his last message and to his successor’s coming one. The outrageous practice of Chinese writers referring to American and English missionaries as “Christian devils” should be rebuked by Mr. Harrison as soon as he gets through intimidating Chili. Representative Newberry, of Hl., has introducecLa bill in congress which provides that hereafter no pension shall be paid to any person who is not a citizen and bona fide residence of the United States. The Democratic party is larger than any man, than any state. This is 1892, and the Democratic party has started out to win the presidency with the distinct understanding that no m in, no .state, holds a first or second mortgage on the nomination. There are forty-four states, and in most of them the Democratic party circulates extensively. Powell Clayton i.i much closer to veracity than he sometimes 14, wheni he says that Indiana is “more Democratic than Republican,” and that “in the Rtrietnst legal sense” the election of a Republican President is “a matter of reasonable doubt.” There is no reasonable doubt hbout it, however, for the Republican parly is already convicted, ana it is now simply waiting sentence. Some of the friends of the President have been telling tales that sounds bad to those of the Repubcan patty, who heretofore have believedthat the party is better th in God. If the members of their own party is to be believed, then “Benjamin” is one of the parties who with “partner Miller” bandied the “boodle” in the election of 1888. They also charge thereby some of the leading / lights in churches were caused to perjure themselves so far that to re I urn is among the things of the past. “Verily, Verily,” the I the way of the Republicans in high place* lead* to perdition. Be? - • .

■ The way of the Republicans, es- ’ pecially those high up is hard to : travel. Some of them are trying herd to indict honest “John Sher man H for being too piuch of a financier during the late campaign in - Ohio for United States Senator, ■ wherein they charge him with bribery in buying the vote of State SenI ators and representatives, having paid as high as three and font thousand dollars to secure a vote. W hlie ) they come high and amounted to > more than six years salary for a United States Senator he knows how to make it during a term with good interest on the investment, tor the good of the people who the party robbers let the fight go on. There may be such a thing as the people whom the robber party have been plundering so long, finding out the truth of the matter, and of where the money goes that they rob the people of. The party has always boasted of John Sherman being one of the greatest statesmen of the age in the matter of handling the finances of this country, and this is only’ another proof to them that he was good at handling the “filthy lucre,” he has grown old in the cause and with his mature years and experience in money mateasilyjiistanced little Joe. 1 -■ — War has never been but once declared by the United States. That once was June 18, 1812, when a bill entitled. “Au act declaring war between the United Kingdom, of < Great Britain and Ireland and the dependencies thereof and the United States of America and the territors,” became law by the signature of President James Madison. It is the general impression that the United States declared war with Mexico, but that is a mistake. The act of congress of May 12, 1816, in which the original steps were taken m a legislative way in relation to the war with Mexico, and the message of President Polk which led to the first act on that subject, recited the fact that war was then existing; that it had been begun by Mexico, and jthe. authority requested and given was to repel or repress the invasion on the part of Mexico. Congress gave President Polk, as the commanding general of the armies and the navy, the authority to raise troops and marine forces, and proceed to repel the attack which was existing. The supreme court of the United has rendered a decision in the case of Charles Counselman, who was committed for contempt by Judge Gresham because he refused to answer the question put to him in a prosecution under the interstate commerce act as to whether he had received a rebate from a railroad company. The supreme court decides that Judge Gresham was in error, and that Counselman cannot be compelled to answer a question which would criminate him. It is believed by railroad men that, owing to the great difficulty of proeurring convictions in the interstate commerce cases without the testimony of the parties themselves, this decision practically renders it impossible to convict general officers or shippers. There have only been two or three convictions since the act was passed, and it is said that even these would have been impossible under the decision just rendered. OuR patriotic President has im-' ported from Europe a dinner sei of 250 pieces which will be used at the Cabinet dinner on the 29th of this month— duty 60 per cent. Mr. Harrison believes that home products are good enough for common people, but while Uncle Sam pays the bills he can afford to indulge in imported goods. He has gratified his love of native' land, however, by having the designs of ears of corn, forty stars and the coat of arms of the United States placed on one side of the dishes and “Harrison, .1892,” on the other. The work was done by the “pauper labor of Europe.”—lndianapolis Sentinel. Speaker Crisp is better but will not preside over the House of Repj ' reseutatiyes for sevearl day*.

AD VICE TO TUT FARMER. A concensus of opinions and advisements of all the political, commercial and trades jounak in the country as to the farmers’ troubles and the remedy therefor, would be an amusing, if not an instructive addition to present day economic literature. The New York Daily Commercial Bulletin, which is always at home with its good judgment on purely commercial questions, has a column or more of diagnosis and remedy in a recent issue, for the farmers’ troubles. It furnishes another illustration of the fact that the commercial world is interested chiefly for itself, and does not understand the situation and needs of the agriculturalist at all. To advise farmers not to mortgage their lands and ther crops means nothing except they can be told at tlie same time how to manage their business without. Why should the farmer be in such dire straits in this, the most favored land in the world, and under a government where every man helps, with his ballot, to make the laws? Why are farms mortgaged and their owners unable to pay taxes? “If interest is too high,” says the adviser, “refuse to pay it. If the retailer of goods puts on exhorbitant prices, the consumer may choose or not to pay them, and retail dealers will soon be compelled to charge only what consumers are willing to pay.” Perhaps this is a little the quaintest advice ever offered. If a combine of capitalists put up a class of the necessaries of life a notch or two, just go without until they see the point and come down! In other words, boycott the trust, and go hungry and cold while yon do it. “It must be understood,” says the Bulletin writer, “that absolutely no remedy is possible for this unhappy state of things, excepting greater thrift, greater economy and greater attention to sound business principles.” This is not very helpful or very comforting, but will not fail of a mission if it shall put the farmers on their mettle, giving them to understand they must look out for themselves. Favors in legislation are not for them. Their first move should be to go to the root of the matter and find out the cause for depression in their industry when other industries are booming and other men are piling up fortunes. A great man is gone; an intellectual and moral force drops out of the Christian world, with the death of Cardinal Manning. Like Cardinal Newman, his early labors were in the church of England. He was ordained at Oxford in 1834, in 1840 became archdeacon of Chichester and in 1851, when a legal decision subjected the church to the authority of the crown on a question of doctrine, he joined the ebureh of Rome, of which he wa* made priestin 1857. But to whatever church he gave his faith and loyalty, he was always the Christian man of good works and of great spiritual fervor. His good offices in the great strike of the dockment in London in 1889, are of recent record. Before his change to Roman Catholicism, he published a number of volumes of sermons and since event his pamphlets and papers have been chiefly upon topics connected upon papal power. Catholic councils and Ultra-montanism. His death leaves a vacancy not only in his own religious body, but in his great universal church of mankind. A prominent banker of Chicago, who has been in tbe habit of giving freely to charities, in order to learn, if possible, what proportion of collected funds went to out-of-work and needy individuals, dressed bimi self like a mendicant, and in company with a number of a bona fide in bard-luck men applied to tbe leading different charities for aid. The result of the tour was, so it is reported, that, he gave to his unfortunate companions what assistance they stood iri need - of, doffed bis ragsand is out in a manifesto declaring that it is his opinion, now wrll-grounded, that the bulk of available funds goes to pay salaries of the officers of societies and a minimum proportion reaches the needy ones. If tbe tariff is not a tax upon the people, why did the removal of it from sugar cheapen that commdity? Is the bounty also a tax? And who pays it? In the latter case the payer and the payee are plainly distinguished; hence there cannot be ' more indulgence in that kind of an-* fairness.
