The soldiers friend is the one who remembers them when he has offices to give out, such as post-of-fices, etc. -- ■ ~ The tin manufactured by the Anderson tin-plate works since it was sold by the sheriff would be worth its weight in gold. Our most noisy preacher, Dr. Talmage, so worked the that they gave him a gold watch to time his way to salvation. Tins is a pretty good time to guess on the plurality in Indiana. And it is pretty safe to guess that Mr. Cleveland will have a plurality. p » Corbett goes home with gay dec orations. Sullivan with sticking plaster adornments. The contrast is enough to make Boston very, very sad. We have not been informed whether the McKinleyites made tin enough on last Tuesday to protect themselves from the rain at Ell wood. The sanitary condition of our city since the notice of the Mayor to that effect, has been somewhat improved., While the cholera is held'in check nt New York quarantine, there cann >t be too much attention paid to the keeping of our streets, alleys and other places in a strictly dean condition. ,

Law-abiding Republicans will scarcely be pleased to know that their candidate for governor openly advocates a violation of the laws and ordinances. The party of promises, the Republican party. The only promise they fulfill is the one to rob the people for the benefit of the men they can get the boodle from for to corrupt the voters, The Democratic party’s platform stands as a safe guard between the Republican platform based on a high tariff and the people’s party’s platform based on free trade. Such is the condition in this country to day. Iris announced from Washington that Mr, Cleveland’s letter of acceptance will be ready for the printer next Monday or Tuesday. It may be safely said in advance lhat the letter will be a magnificent campaign document. Maine, the home of Blaine, the great republican state, gives a decreased plurality for Cleves, the re publican candidate for governor. If Maine is an indication of Harrison’s strength, Benjamin might as well tender his resignation. The late governor Hovey in his message to the members of the house of representatives, recommended that the state levy be twenty-five cents on the hundred dollars. Where would our taxes have been if the laie legislature had been Republican instead of Democratic as it was. Where do the Republicans of Adams county stand on the “Free Trade” or the “Protectionist” plank, or are they to be sold as cattle are sold, so much a head, the bosses having them for sale, is the way they put it, and will sell them to the people’s party if they can deliver the goods? The Democratic meetings all ovefr Indiana Saturday, were large and enthusiastic. The mention of Glorious Grover’s name elicited wild cheers, and his name was mentioned you may be sure, at everyone of the hundred meetings. Everybody has become convinced at last that “ninety per cent” of the Indiana Democrats*”have always been for Cleveland/; well. Candidate Harrison finds cause for felicitation in the saving of $87,000,000 to the. people by the removal of the tax from sugar. This is a practical illustration of the democratic idea. Remove the tax, take off the tolls, open the pons, let the commerce of the world in free of duty. Onr own people will be the g liners. Before long we will show to our readers the amount of money that each township trustee collected; the amount of each fund and what it is expended for, so that the people may know what their servants are doing, and how they are using the funds they have made you pay. There may be some surprises tor you when you read the amounts. Ex-Senator Kernan, who died at Utica this week, was a democrat of the Tilden school- and a friend of Horatio Seymour. He was the only man who ever defeated Roscoe Conklin at the polls, having been elected to congress over that brilliant statesman. In 1875 he was elected to the United States senate and served bis state with distinguished ability. An old saying that a “drowning man catches at aS-tratf.” So it is with the Republican party in their effort to cause the Judge of the Supreme Court to perjur themselves, by declaring the Apportionment law of the state unconstitutional. The party being in the throes of death, is grasping at any fleeting shadow that may see any hope of life in. They have come’before the people without any honorable issue to present to them, and in order to raise, an jssue they will ask the Supreme Bench to comic to their relief by perjury. Any way so they may retain their hold upon the public 1 crib. . • ,

The compulsory school law of Illinois, which was designed to break up private Catholic and Lutheran schools, contained a toction providing that any parent or other person who neglected to comply with the law might bo fiucS and sent to jail until the fine was paid. Welshman Stanford, superintendent of the Ellwood tin-plate works, says American labor is not skillful enough to make tin plate, and the only way to manufacture it successfully in this country is to import skilled Welsh labor for this purpose. How does this proposition strike American workingmen? Isn’t it a little bit singular that republicans everywhere are ascribing the falling off of their majorities to the operation of the Australian system? Isn’t it remarkable that the party of “pure politics,’ ? and superior intelligence should lose votes wherever education and honesty are made qualifications for voting? The attempt to wipe off of the statute books of Indiana every law passed for the protection of labor by a pre-arranged decision that the apportionment law of 1885 is un ; constitutional, has aroused deep indignation throughout the state, while the attempt to overthrow the Australian election law by the same desperate tactics is resented almost universally. McKinley, while in the west tells the farmers that “the tarriff cheapens iron and gives the farmers cheap plows and other machinery.” While in the east among factory hands he says: “The tariff puts up the price of iron and increases wages correspondingly.” Such statements need no comment. An intelligent person can readily see the fallicy of such nonsense. The formal adoption of resolutions of endorsement of Cleveland and Stevenson and the hearty work of Bourke Cochran, Richard Croker and other leaders of the great political organization, means a power which the republicans can not overcome. It is evident that Cleveland has placated Tammany. So much, very good. There are also more hopeful signs that Senator Hill wilj fall in line and assume an aggressive leadership for Cleveland. This week will enable the democrats of the country to see with a clearer vision the true situation in New York, and the fact is that unity and harmony does prevail all along the line. The Republicans of Adams county are entering the political arena with “blood in their eyes.” They intend to accomplish something at all hazzards. They allow’ nothing to stand in their way. When they held the convention they made no nominations, nor did they indorse the people’s candidates, but their leader decided to swallow that party principle and all with eyes closed hoping, that after they opened them that among other thing, they might realize the sweets of victory. We wonder how they can indorse the following plank of the People’s party platform: “Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and every dollar taken from it without equivolent is robbery.” But if they can conscientiously tax the toiling masses for the benefit of the milhonair, they can swallow this dose without making a face. The Republicans of this county are now being led by the nose by a few of the leading ones who think there is a chance for them to suck a little pap from the county teat. The great and glorious leaders of the Republican party of this county, high protective tariff Republicans voting for candidates, state or national, or a high protective platform and in the county and representative districts, vote for candidates on a free trade platform, stfchls the one of the People’s party. Consistency thou art a liar. With the Republicans, high protection for the benefit of the rich that they may rob the people and free trade for Adams county the polipy of the bosses of. the party that are asking farmers and laborers to vote with them this fall and elect a set of county officers who are pledged in fasor of free trade, with the Re publican party. It is any way to fool i the voter, the only object is to get j the vote, not for any benefit to the voter but for the benefit of the bosses. ----- • ’ . - .. . «.’«» •• tr .Kill

HOME AND PROTECTION. After deliberating over the recent labor troubles, we have concluded that our country has not reached that perfect state of civilization, toward which we have so faithfully been striding. If we were to visit the continent of Africa and study the animal life that is to be found on that vast area of soil, we would find that the stronger specie of animals are constanly feeding upon their weaker neighbors with a delight and a keen relish. Indeed we do not need to go so far to find that spirit among the lower animals. But to see the same disposition fostered and cherished in tbo bosom of enlightened man, is enough to shook the sensibilities of the most rude. This disposition occurring, as it does, in this well ordered Republic, regulated by law, in a land where the people themselves are supposed to be sovereign and to possess the power to right their own wrongs, it is necessarily accepted as a sign which promises wide disaster unless a remedy is found. Major McKinley has made the assertion that the problem has been solved, and that the people are happy and contented with their lot. At the very time he was making this false assertion, three states had almost their entire militia out to suppress the riotous demonstrations on the part of the toiling masses. Mr. McKinley can only see the surface of that great stream of progress. lie-tails to look deep into the swift running current to behold the laboring people organizing to protect themselves against the aggressive approaches ot heartless and protected monopolies. Are the laboring people raising their hands against imaginary evils? Did the workmen make the situation at Homestead in pure wantonness? Has he imperiled the livelihood of wife and child for any light or triaial reason? Had he any legal recourse for the settlement of what he deemed his wrongs? What had he, then, done which put him beyond the pale of law when his request for reasonable concession in wages was refused; when he was shut out; when he was told that he must abandon the right of association, which he held most sacred and which alone in all the controversies of the past had secured him any consideration, and must thereby disarm himself ot all power of self protection if he would keep his home and work at that place and in the only trade be knew? Where was he, with the thousands like him and ;n the same evil case, to turn for legal relief? Towhat tribunal was he to resort for the adjustment of his rights and the redress of his wrongs? Was there any adequate tribunal provided by the highly civilized state, which owed him peace and security as much as it owed them to the proprietors of the fortified mills, to, the services of which he had adapted his life and his labor? Shall the complaints of men in his condition be met forever only with the policeman’s bludgeofi or the militiaman’s musket? The country is offering protection to the Homestead proprietors in order that they may in turn increase the wages of their men, and right in the face of this condition of things they are trying to reduce the wages of their men. How long will it take the people of this country to see through as transparant a falacy as the McKinley Bill has shown itself to be? Oiir friends of the Republican party have attacked the tax-law as they did the new election law two years ago, when they found the boomerang they bad thrown return with such force that they have scarcely recovered from it yet. The only difference being that Republican represenatives voted solid against the election law in 1888, while the majority or all but two of them voted in 1890, for the new tax law, the one they now declare to be a Democratic measure. Their attack is not because they are sincere or believe the law to be a bad one, but because the only principle the party ever had was the favoring of corporations, from whom they will get the “boodle,” that they use in campaigns. This being the source they draw from. They are always the ready tools of such. They did not dare to declare in their state platform that they would repeal the new tax law but that they would amend it. This is what the Democrats, will do. They will amend where the law is defective. 1 hey stand ready to give to the people all the relief that any party can do. The Democratic party being a party of the people, is the only one anyone can look to for relief. Z . x ... j •&- --•
