OfHce In Democrat Building, cast side of Second Street—ground Poor, j This week’s DbM'm’Bat 15 printed on the latest patent Babcock Press. For years we have been contemplating a change of this kind, and we felt as strong in. cur opinion regard■> this change on the first impulse a- we do today. Circitmstanefs, however, arc often barriers to good intentions, and with us this was no exception. During the past few years as publisher of the Democrat we have become convinced that it is not all gold that glitters in the printing business. We have endeavored to present to <£tir readers a paper equal to any in appearance, published in cities of our size in the State. If, in any particular, we have failed in our undertaking, we will in future try and make The Democrat superior to any in the neighborhood. As copper is a good conductor of electricity, the gas company would have done well to put up lightning rods before the council met last Tuesday night. We favor a direct tax for building gravel roads it they can’t be done anyother way. Let the legislature look into the question and give us some relief from the mud. Let us not delay the work of laying the streets with stone. Keep the progressive Spirit to the fore. The stonestreets have contributen more than any other one thing to the rapid growth of our city during the past five years. The real true friends of the chief rebel of this country, Jeff Davis, are getting ready to step down and out of power. The party that he is the father of, protected the rebel at the time he lived, after he brought the party into existence and then into power. Royally did they treat the ex-rebel, they allowed him all the privileges of this country without taking the oath of reconstruction. Religious Weekly, please stand up, spell and define syllogism? R. W.—Syl-10-gism. “It is the logical form of all argument consisting of three propositions. The first two are called premises and the last is called a conclusion. It is not necessary to have correct premises in order to get a right kind of a conclusion. That altogether depends upon a man’s feelings.” That is right, Willie, (of the r. w.) You can take your place by the side of the man that spelled bushel some time ago. Wiiat County in the Slate, surpasses Adams County in reference to the fertility of soil and the energy and get up of the farming community? Adams County has some of the best land to be found in the State, and we believe that on- farm ers as a rule are just as energetic as our land is good We arc right to the front in many respects but fall short in others. Our Court house and Jail are in line, but 'what about the County Fairs? How Jo our Fairs compare with that of other Counties? Let us not be content by spending our money to see what other people can produce on their farms, but let us see if we can not place our County right by the side of its sister counties, ami show them [ what we can do. The following is j what our neighbor, -tlm-Rortfaml Sun, has to say about us: "The people of Adams County are 1 urgi-iu ilelr county eonimis-iorjers to I take snmestepsth.it will •ecurc th in nJ suitable fair eioun.l upon which to hold' an exhiblton in 1593 Adams is the onlv j t'ountv within a radius of one hundred I milsi tliat dees no’level in the pl.asures ■ of a county fair, although it is ore of th- , most ft rtile and enterprising in the state 1 Pull V’tirsrlve* together, gentlemen, and ' give yOUr pepp’e an opportunity to spread. ■ ' themselves.” . f ■ W . * ,Ar

Commissioners Court has been iu session this week. What action, if any,they have taken regards the opening up of the once fair grounds we are unable to state. The lofty patriot who thinks that the offices should seek the man is now parading up and down in front of the office, so that it can never truthfully say that il sought him and found him not. A Democrat who failed to vote at the last election need waste no time soliciting an office. The committee’s books show who voted and who did not vote, and tab will be kept on those who did not. Mr. A. A. Nichols, ex-secretary of the once Adams County Fair Association says that a great number of our people are in favor of a County Fair and all that is necessary is for some one to “cut the pace.” We have already received the names through mail of several of our most prominent farmers in the county favoring a fair and will the same in our next issue. In the meantime we await the expression of others xvliose names will be publishd in connection with the above. Let each township contribute its quoto to this much needed enterprise. We feel warranted in saying that our coming legislature will give us some road law that will be for the betterment of the roads in this county where they are needed so bad. All of the adjoining counties have pike roads built by the adjoining property owners, and all of them agree m saying that the profit exceeds the cost, while a number of them say the roads pay for themselves.in one year. While all such improvements work a hardship to some, there never will come a time when all will be ready. This world doesnot adjust itself that way, then why not have the benefit at an early day so that the present generation may have some of the benefit. “The Democrat devoted considerable space last week to the Journal. We want it distinctly understood those efforts directed against us are not paid for.”— Journal. There you go agaip with your twaddle, twaddle, twaddle. The Democrat does not expect any remuneration for anything appearing in its columns of a newsy nature, and if we contributed anything that the Journal feels indebted for, don’t mention it. Because the Journal through its columns, has taken the unlicensed privilege to bull-doze every body hereabouts, it doesn’t go to show that we are duty bound to suffer likewise. We are here to deal out gospel truths to the people of Adams county, and anything that seems to misfit the palate of the Journal man, please mention the fact and we will sugar coat'the fest. The summer has come and gone and in its wake follows king winter. We that have lived in Indiana any length of time know what winter means, it does not mean the ringing of sleigh-bells and the rush of business that accompanies good roads only. We have had so many open Winters that the word winter has almost become synonimous with the word mud, and especially is 1 bis the case with spring. Just because this is old Indiana is no reason that we should be content lb wade mud seven and eight months oiit of the vv.'ir. When the roads break up business j< practically suspended and life, becomes a drag. The farmer 'must have a loiir-horse team or he is almost compelled to stay at home or take - his grist of ■wheat to the mill in the fall year and cn«mgli~at that io do all winter or hois m the “soup.” The most important question before the people now is, “How can we make better roads?” The attention of our, I icople- must-be 1 nrrred rn 1;lii Sdi roction or we are destined to put up with roads that are almost impassa: Lie eight months out of the year.” This vpiHiiy needs good roads and a movement toward securing irnttcr roads should meet with general approval. Just what kind of material shall be used, should be settled to suit circumstances, but we all will agree that either stouc or gravel is harder than mini.

Several Democrats who did not vote on election day arc already asking their friends to help them into office under the Democratic administration. It won’t do. The list of Democrats who did not vote is a black lisbuo far as tbe public patronage isjßoneerned. Tiie falling off in the vote of Indiana as compared with tbe vote of 1888, is attributed by some newspapers to voters who were bribed to stay away from the polls. But we do not think this is the correct explanation. The falling off is due to the fact that under the Australian election law the corn-field negroes of Kentucky were unable to vote. There were not less than 20,000 imported negroes who voted in 1888 that could not vote under the now election law. Indiana has been carried by the Republicans since 1876 only by the colonization of negroes from the South, and the secret ballot stopped that, fraud along with the successful use of boodle and bribery. No wonder the Republicans everywhere exclaim, with Boutelle, of Maine: “D—n the Australian ballot.” England rejoices over the Democratic triumph. She did this, too, at every victory for the same party in the field, in 18(11-65. — Dewtur Journal, Nov. Ift, 1892. “The Journal has not made the sweeping declaration that all Democratic voters are rebels.”— Decatur Journal” Des?. 2. 1892. If the first statement is not a sweeping one. it is because the editor of tbe Journal did not have the language at his command to make a sweeping We believe that the Journal means just what it says,"and says,—if ignorance does not permit, the very thing that it means. Its first statement says that England rejoices over the Democratic victory. Os course the Journal means by that, that England rejoices over the recent victory of the Democratic party at the polls on Nov. 8, 1892. If the Journal had stopped at this we would have paid no attention to its flimsy statements, but it went on by saying that Englond rejoiced, too, at every •victcry for the same party in the field in 1861-65. Now, il the Democratic party who defeated the Republicans at the polls in the recent election is the same party that took up arms against the Government iu 1860-65, we do not know why it is not the rebel party. No one doubts but the Southerners who were fighting tbe Government iu 1861-65 were rebels, and if the Democratic party is the organization, why is it not a rebel organization. We consider the statement sweeping, just as sweeping as the Journal could make it. The Democratic party means the majority of the voters in New York, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and thousands of voters in every other State in tbe Union who are just as true to the Government as the Decatur Journal ever was or ever will be. Mr. Editor, take up your statement at the head of our column, and explain it to the 2., : 00 Democrats of Adams County,—explain it to your Democratic patrons who pay §1.50 per year for the worst kind of abuse; explain it to the Democrats who you tried to induce to vote the Republican ticket; explain the word aamc so that it won’t mean same any longer, then we will believe that you are able to convince the people white means black and black means white. Indeed, Mr. Editor, you will be compelled to make such an explanation with a kind of “slight of hand performance.” We do not want tbe Journal to take this in a personal way,—we suppose the editor means things all right, but we do want liipi to understand that bis paper —as far as editorials are concerned—.has not reached tbe age of maturity. It is young and soft, and to take out of that part ol tbe paper the instilling language used, ami it wool.) be a blank. We liwve given up ail hope of the Journal ever amounting la anything. _ We firmly believe that so far as the paper is concerned that it is nothing but an abortion- —newspaperly speak- , ing, and hence we never ea+i expect that paper to reach the point at which good sense’ will be found in its columns. As the editor of the , Journal is young and perbapsjjas a lonh 1 life before him, it no doubt would be better for l.im to turn bin, attention to something else, as he ue v er will make a journalist, much less an editor. '1 he characteristics of a good editorial will be found to be in perfect’ harmony with good sense, ami they are never found allied to slang nor any of its accompanimeuts. >

I.S.Town.send Brothers. CONSULTATION FREE.
