Office In Democrat Huilding eaat aide of Socu ond Street— ground lloor. Plat the Fair Grounds. Why don’t the Commissioners plat the Fair Grounds? Tile Legislature will take care for the Railroad Corporations. Allen County is asking for two places on Governor Matthews staff. Why not ask for the whole staff? The Fair Grounds in their present condition are an eye sore to the public and should be disposed of. Sell them. The grave charges made aud published by the Republicans against Warden Patten of the Prison South, will be investigated at Patten s request. The “Blue Book” printed at the government office in Washington City, D. C., records 180,000 Federal offices, and shows an aggregate salary list of £90,000,000. This is an average of SSOO for each office. The people of Adams County are expecting something telating to the Fair Grounds of our Commissioners at their next session. Will they be able to meet the wishes of the people ? The death of Gen B. F. Butler, caused public attention to be directed toward the old soldiers of the late civil war. Twenty-nine Generals died in the Union States last year. There was also a frightful mortality among the Colonels. The present cold weather in one respect at least has been fnAdly to the people. It has furnished good roads. This will not always last. It is only a temporary affair and the frozen soil enameled by a heavy snow is no comparison in point of permanancy to a solid pike. Senator Carlisle has sent Mr. Cleveland formal notice that he will accept the Treasury Portfolio. He will forward his resignation as Senator to the Governor of Kentucky to take effect February 4, to enable the Legislature of Kentucky to choose his successor on February 14. There is a proposition before the legislature to abolish the provoke law. Also to place Esquires on a regular salary. And another to do away with the grand jury system. These bills are fathered by “Our Dick” Erwin, who is untiring in any work that is of interest to the people. Now that the snow is in good shape, why not have an' old-fashion-ed fox hunt. There are hundreds of our citizens who would, like to engage in a romp of this kind, and the announcement that such a passtime is to take -.plac, would be < all that would be necessary to insure a large attendance. Who 'will cut the start? Let us not be with our Road Question like the man in Arkansas was with the roofing of his house. When it was clear the house did I not need a roof, and when it was raining he could not put one on. It it too cold to work the roads now but we can devise plans to make them good when the weather is favorable. One of the ordinances of the City Council relating to our saloons having The ' screens - and other obstructions removed after the hour of eleven at night and on Sundays, has been grossly violated by Nature. These saloon-keepers have permitted Jack Frost to paint some elegant scenery on their windows I iu direct violation to the law. Nature of late has been sternly opposiug the Council.

We have several communications from people who arc in favor of organizing a Fair. The manner of the communications differ as to whether it shall be managed by the County or*a Stock Company. Many have expressed their willingness to contribute money to the enterprise. The question is not as to whether we shall have a Fair, but it is as to the mode of procedure. Readers of the Democrat, let us hear from you! Representative Fiiten at the beginning of the session introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a joint Committee of five to consider the advisability of calling a Conference of Representatives from the Legislatures of several States to consider the proposed taxation of monies loaned in the State by Foreign Corporations, was reported on favorably by the Committee on Agriculture, and concurred in. From reports we find that John T. Kelley, of Jefferson township, has succeeded in getting a Clerkship in the House of Representatives, but we feel that there must be a mistake in the report, as Allen and Wells Counties still have a few left not provided for. How an Adams County man could get a position while the ibove Counties have some one not' provided for is a mystery to the most of our people. Gov. Matthews has Commissioned Maj. Irwin Robbins of Indianapolis, Adjutant General, to date from the 17th. His service during the war was as a private in the Seventh Indiana in 1861, and as Captain and Major of the One Hundred-and-Twenty-third Indiana, which took part in the Atlanta campaign, the battle of Nashville and the last battles of North Carolina in 1865. Our Militia Company will have the pleasure of being inspected and doing camp duty with the new General in the near future. The receipts of the Treasury are spent from week to week as they come in. There is no “available surplus” other than small amounts of fractional currency and the deposits with the National banks. For 1 a year past, the Harrison administration has been seriously embarrassed to make ends meet, and now, with pensions constantly increasing, 1 it is preparing to leave the Cleveland administration “the bag to 1 hold.” The. management of National finances will be no easy matter for the next four years, but by lowering the duties of the McKinley law and by increasing the whisky tax the Democrats will be able to meet the increasing expense of the pensions without serious difficulty—except to the people who have to pay the taxes. Judge Gresham agrees with the Democrats on the tariff question. He is thus quoted, in an interview, by the Louisville Courier-Journal: “I want you to understand that I am not a Democrat only so far as the Democrats go my way of thinking. That is tn say, that 1 ain only a Democrat on the tariff and economy positions. 1 consider the tariff as the only great question dividing the two parties. If the Democrats, when they take charge, will carry e>ut their pledges sincerely and consdstf ntly and knock out the protection fraud, I will stay with them and so will hundreds of thousands of independents who voted for Cleveland in November. Butshould the Democrats fail to keep their pledges, not one of these men will be found voting the Democratic ticket in 1890.” The following bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Hon. A. N. Martin fully explains itself, and like all other measures that tend to benefit the people, causes a bowl to go nip from the Republican iiress of the country. They never fail to see trouble where tlm;e is no money going into the hands of some one "they can ‘‘fry the fat” out of. Some of the parties that this will effect have been at the public crib for the last thirty years and have always been liberal contributors t<> the campaign funds.

This is one of their main reasons for the manner in which they at. tack the bill: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representaiives of the United States of America iu Congress assembled, That whenever who has held, now holds, or hereafter may hold any position’ in the United States, under or by virtue of any appointment made or now subject to an examination of such appointee under the rules and regulations established by'the President of the United States and the Civil Service Commission of the United States, or either of them, or by any public officer of the United States, pursuant to any law of the United States concerning the civil service of the United States, for a period of four years, such person’s tenure of office shall, be deemed to have terminated at the expiration of such four years from date of such appointment heretofore or hereafter made: Provided, however, That nothing in this act shall be construed so as to prevent the lemoval of any such appointee at any time: Provided further, That in calculating the time which any such employee has held or shall hoid such term of four years, all promo tions or changes of positions or employment shall be included: Provided further, That any such appointee who has not already held for a period of four years may, on the completion of such four years, be eligible to reappointment under the civil service rules to the same or any other such position, but such reappointment shall not entitle such person to hold longer than four years more, subject to removal at anytime: Provided further, That any person hereafter so appointed may, at the expiration of such four years be likewise eligible to reappointment under the civil service rules for a period of four years, subject to removal at any time: •Providedfurther, That no such person shall be eligible to hold any such position who has held the same already for a period of eight years: JnJ provided further, That any person now bolding such position who has held the same already for a period of eight years or more shall not be eligible to longer hold after July fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-three. Last year was an eventful one to the people of the United State. It opened up by heavy rainfalls high waters, troublesome strikes and rec-ord-breaking horee racing soon followed, only to be outdone in the fisfic and political arena. Last year will be long remembered as the period in which the people of the United States with one long “swipe” of the political pen wrote “Dennis” on the walla of protection and our intellectual, morally great, and exceedingly wise contemporary is not Daniel enough to read the signs of the times, It would not be a bad idea for our self-esteemed, in tellcctually unsurpassable only papaper iu town to right on talking about its own great stores of knowledge and if it does not succeed in disgusting itself it will for a certainty disgust every body else. As the Journal has always made religious pretentions, we will qpote a small saying that was not clipped from Shakespeare: = * And if any man think he knowelh any thing, He knoweth nothing yet he ought to know. To Advertisers. A live business man never fails to advertise bis business in one way oi another. If his goods are suitable they can be found in a showwindow in the most attractive style, or perhaps a sidewalk now and then can be found that is crowded to its utmost capacity in order to attract attention. The ways to advertise are numerous, and no rnan can hope to sell goods to. the public unless the public knows what he has. The object in advertising is to put before the mind's of the people the goods that is to be sold. One of the best ways of doing this is through the column* of some good readable paper. The circulation of the paper must be considered. Jt is better to advertise in the paper that has the widest circulation, ft would be folly for a rnan to spend money to advertise »»• a poorly Circulated paper when the same investment applied to advertise in a widely circulated paper will thrible the value of the money whereas in the first instance yon will .scarcely get th< amount expended, your time aqd trouble not considered. The Democrat has three times the

» -MW ~ circulation ol any other paper iu the county, hence, the advantages are three times as great to advertise in the Democrat. The Indiana Legislature proposes to restore the appointive power to the Governor. Send in your ideas of how our Fair should be organized and wo will publish them. More than oue-third of all the money expended by this Government is paid out foi pensions. Mr. Cleveland’s intention is to make the U. S. pension roll a roll of honor. Is that making war on the old soldiefk.? Not a bit of it, and it is only those who are now on that roll by fraud who so regard it. Mwy————fa—— The Porter census will cost over eight million dollars. The only constitutional census of population, which would not have cost much over a third of the immense sum expended in collecting statistics in the reliability of which no wellinformed person has any confidence. The following persons have been elected United States Senators: David Turpie, of Indiana; Edward Murphy, of New York; Francis M. Cockrell, of George Gray, of Deleware; Stockbridge, of Michigan; Bates, of Tennessee. W ( k would like to have a communication from each township in the County in reference to the best way of organizing a Fair. A great many of our subscribers are familiar with Fair Associations and the best and most satisfactory way of organizing. Let us hear from you. It is hoped by many that during the past week we have experienced the coldest weather of the season. It has been very cold indeed, but this cold “snap” is nothing as compared to the one that will occur to some of our Republican friends the 4th of March. They will think, no doubt, that it is a premature Equinoctial storm. In his message to the Legislature of Ohio, Governor McKinley reports a treasury deficit of nearly one hundred thousand dollars, while in New Y'ork the Democratic Governor reports a surplus of over a million. As creators of deficits, the Republican politic ans can succeed, no matter what else they fall in. * . Tfie City Council ati neir meeting last Tuesday, authorized the School Board of our City to proceed with the plans and specifications for the erection of a Ward School House in our City. The Board is priviledged to select suitable grounds and make alLthe necessary arrangements from commencement to completion. The amount of money. appropriated or allowed for this purpose is Nine Thousand Dollars. Death of Ex-President Hayes. Ex-Pies. lent R. B. Hayes died at his home in Fremont, Ohio, at 11 o’clock, Tuesday night. Early in the evening an inquiry elicited the response that the General had passed a fairly well day, and was resting nicely. The change from better to worse was rapid and at 11 o’clock the distinguished ExPresident passed away. During the last month the ExPresident had complained of one oi two slight attacks of neuralgia of the heart, but as they soon passed away, he thought nothing of it. On Saturday he experienced a severe recurrence of the malady, which resulted in his death as stated above. A New G. B& I. Depot. It would not be a bad idea foi the people.of Decatur to ask the G. R. J. Railroad Company to give them a naw depot. The present depot ii too small for W accommodate the large crowds that asserpble there at train times. There is but one room for the passengers and it is a very small one at that. Ihe seating capacity is limited and when a train happens to be late fifteen or twenty persons are com pelled to stand worrying along the best they can for any length of time varying from fifteen minutes to one hour gs the lateness of the train may determine- Os course ibis is the Railroads business; It is none of ours. We speak only for the sake of humanity. Other Roads have arranged to accommodate their passengers, and why not the G. K. &I. lie equally as generous- Ihe agents of the Road are manly, businesslike and polite. The old depot makes quite a contrast.
