THE DEMOCRAT'S NEW DRESS. We promised our readers at the beginning of the year ’93 that we would add to the value of our paper —both m its style of “make-up” and in the matter published. W e have added new the office and in connection to this a new style of the latest design of type has been procured which will not fail to give satisfaction in our job department, and at the same time it will greatly enhance the Value and good appearance of the paper. The Democrat clothed in a new dress and devoted strictly to the interests of its readers, will be found in the front ranks of journalism. We will never fail to open its columns for matter that will aid in the advancement of the people’s interest. Having the welfare of Democracy and County at heart, you need not be surprised to find us sternly advocating the cause of both. We may sometimes speak of foreign incidents as a matter of news, but not intending this in a selfish way, we can not afford to neglect home to look after the welfare of something that is entirely foreign to our interests. The resources of Adams County ate equal to that of any County in the State. Our people can not afford to be behind. Our Roads, the proposed County Fair, and many other smaller and less important things can not and will not be overlooked by the Democrat. This world may be considered a treadmill placed upon the wheels of time. The mill continues to turn and if. we fail to tread, we are turned under. We can not afford to go down and be thrown out on the plane of slothfulness when a little exertion will continue to place our feet on a solid footing. There is no such a thing as rest,, The universe was not built on that plan. Therefore it behooves us to obey the command, “Forward, March.” The Water Works question is hibernating. Tiie is cursed by the tongue that licks it. Ik you want the Decatur Post Office, do not “go after it,” but “go and get it.” Tiie electoral college is about the only one in the land that does not have a foot ball team. If New Jersey law could, get a hip lock on the cigarette trust, faith in the future of the republic would be greatly strengthened. - Wanted—A few energetic busi- ! ness men who are not, afraid of doing something that will benefit some j one else. Ciioi.eea and cleanliness do not i travel together, and the cities ot ■ this country will have to make a choice. Between the grasshoppers and ; the Populists, Kansas has some con- j oeption of wliat it is to get between ; the upper and nether millstones. _. „ ] <■»— j Saloons, dance halls, billiard j rooms and gambling places will be j open on Suuday at Chicago during j the World’s Fair. Can it be that the great exposition is a more dan j gerous attraction than those enum-,! e r*ted?

As might be expected, the marriage statistics of 1802 show a veritable boom in the matrimonial market. It was leap year.. The Senate-stealers do not seem to be getting on very fast in Kansas. John Brown’s soul is not marching their way at present. Blaine was reported at death’s door while Butler and Ilayes were considered in comparative health, yet both have preceded him across the great divide. Indiana stood up and was counted for Senator Turpie Thursday of last week. And Indiana has never stood up and been counted for a better man. It seems that everyone who had anything to do with the DeLesseps canal scheme was either a rascal at the start or else very soon became one. An effort is being made to have a law passed by the Ohio legislature to send murderers to eternity by electricity instead of the hemp route. ' r The Soldiers saved our Country in 1861-65, and again in 1892. As we go rushing down the plain of time in our scramble for office and preferment, let us not forget the Soldiers. Mr. Cleveland is gratified at the harmony in the Democratic party, and he knows no doubt that the way to keep Democrats harmonious is to keep them moving in the direction they want to go. From a reliable Bource we learn that Decatur can secure a Straw Board Factory that will employ two hundred hands. A little inducement is all that is necessary. Look after it. It will be ground-hog day for Decatur if onr business men recoil from the shadow of progress and turn from our town such enterprises as the Straw Board Factory or the proposed Railroad Division. Ex-Reesident Hates was the author of one of the best political maxims on record. It was he who said: “He serves his party best who serves his country best.” The expression occurs in his inaugural address. It is said that Ted Pritchard, the English pugilist, refuses to come to America, as he has a moral dread of crossing the ocean. We only wish that every pugilist over there had the same dread. The sheriffs of Indiana are clamerous to have the Legislature pass a law increasing their salaries. If they had only “kicked” on the salary question before the election, we imagine many of them would not be in the kick now. Gold is again going to Europe, and the reserve in the treasury is now reduced to about $17,000,060. Every day’s history of the financial situation emphasizes more strongly the absolute necessity of repealing the silver purchasing act. A <;reai; jnajonty of the Rail roads of the country have been “frozen up” the past two weeks, and traffic has been very much impeded thereby. This is doubtless due to the vast quantity of water in tlieir stocks. S’ 1 « There is a bill to be unreduced in the Indiana House providing for I the placing ot prosecuting attorneys on salaries. The bill will ! provide for the grading of salaries according to the population of the •county in which the prosecutor j serves. Bishop Dwencer, of Fort Wayne ] after an illneis of several years, I died at his residence in that city i Sunday night at 11 o’clock. He | ’foek charge of his diocese after "the j death of Bishop Liters, in 1873. The j remains were conveyed from the residence to the church on Wednes- \ -day where they were viewed by the' j public.‘‘The vault beneath the great i is where the dead prelate rests, j The solemn pontifical high mass l' was re id by Archbishop Elder, of Ciooiunati.

As our Fair Grounds are no longer useful, it would not be a bad idea for our County Commissioners to dispose of tbein to the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City Railroad Company at a reasonable price. We can not afford to allow "every thing that comes our way to pass by unnoticed. When President Harrison was inaugurated four years ago, he tound #100,000,000 surplus in the Treasury, the savings of the Cleveland Administration. He has squandered all this, together with the Billion Dollar Congress, and the last weeks of his administration are being spent in frantic attempts to conceal a Treasury deficit. Justice L. Q. C. Lamar died on Monday evening last at Vineville, near Macou, Ga. lie left Washington about a month ago tor the purpose of seeking a necessary rest, and was improving m health very rapidly. Heart disease was the im mediate cause of his death. He was bo _ n in 1828. A hill giving Justices of the Peace a salary, instead of making them dependent upon lees, will be introduced at the present session of our Legislature. Such a course would be a good one and would do away with much of the petty litigation that is now brought in those courts. Tuk Cabinet makers are more numerous than were the locusts of Egypt, but as they will be equally as short-lived, we do not anticipate any serious results. The number of slates that will be broken when Cleveland assumes command will be remarkable. Suffice it to say he will build his Cabinet of the best material the country affords. The people are looking for some radical improvements m Governmental affairs as soon as the Democracy shall have taken hold of the reins, on the Fourth of March next. Should the Democracy prove unequal to the emergency, tlfey will be swept from power at tbe next general election. The great common people of the land want relief, and if neither the Republican or Democratic party will furnish it, they will both be supplanted by a new party in 1896. The Legislature has already a bill on the calendar to create a new office, State Dairy Commissioner, and will have one before it adjourns for a State Superintendent of Highways, as well as for County Superintendents with the power to appoint Township Superintendents. The State Dairy Commissioner shall have a salary of $2,000 a year, with a clerk at $1,200, and $7,000 shall be appropriated annually for the payment of expenses in executing the law, paying deputies, etc. The Commissioner is to be appointed by the Governor. It has been said that there are but two things that will build up a town. A fire and a few first-class funerals are the tilings that many people deem necessary to the welfare of some communities. VV'e will not make the assertion that either a fire or a few first-class funerals are necessary to unlock our standing wheels of progress, nor do we want to be compelled to think,„ any thing of the kind either. Fires at different times have opened up room for improvements, hut we hope as our business men drop off one by one that their friends may be enabled to say that our people has lost a useful man and a benefactor. L ■ A There is no good reason why that Decatur can not become one of tlip most enterprising little cities in the State. We are midway between Toledo, Ohio; and Frankford, Ind., and by pursuing the proper course we can secure the division of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City Railroad. By securing this division the shops that are necessary at the end of a division of this kind will necessary follow without any exertion op our pah. Decatur must do something to secure employment for the many idle laboring people who are perfectly willing to work if employment can only be had. This will not only help the people that are now in our city but it will bring many more. Business will be helped in every way. Decatur will be just what its people are willing to make it. Citizens of Decatur, we leave the responsibility with you. Shall we accept opportunities as they present themselves and make the best of them, or shall we allow them iO pass by to .our detriment?

At the election in 1802 the people decided that they wanted a change! By this it must be uuder* stood that they wanted an improvement in the management of the affairs of the country, and hence, to bring this end about, a general change of officers must take place. We want a new deal all along the line, and wo believe that Mr. Cleveland will not repeat his blunder of eight years ago, by retaining such a largo per oent of our opponents (enemies) in office throughout Ins administration. This weakened our forces materially. It made Mr. Cleveland enemies out of friends and supplied clubs to the enemy with which toi break our heads. The citizens. of Decatur have an opportunity to strike a blow that will help its people. Are we going to allow the T., St L. & K. C. shops to go somewhere else? When our factories fail to give employment, how shall we employ the people? Our laboring people are leaving the City now. Something must be done to hold them. They cannot stay unless employed. Our factories will not always last, and our stone-quar-ries will only employ men during the summer. The laborer must live all the time, hence, he must be furnished employment the year round. Whe the laborer suffers the business man must suffer accordingly. A man can not pay unless he has something to pay with. It is the duty of the business men of this City to throw their influence, and a little money if necessary, toward the building up of Decatur. Business men of Decatur, wake up. The County Fair. The question of a County Fair has been agitated for some time and a great number of the good, progressive citizens have given favorable expressions. There are several essentials to a complete success. First the place of location. In the canvass so far there has not been much said. Some have favored selling the defunct grounds and purchasing more commodious ones. This we are favorable to, and we believe that there could be convenient and suitable ground procured at Monroe at less cost than at or near Decatur. Monroe is the center of the county. The half waypoint for all exhibitors and attendants. If we have a county fair for the encouragement of mechanical and agricultural interests we should look to the convenience of all parts of the county alike. On the south side we are not only willing but we are anxious to meet our competitors half way, but we are not willing to go six miles beyond half way point. We would be pleased to have an expression from the north part of the county through the Democrat about where they are willing to locate the proposed fair. South Sider.—Geneva Herald, Jan. 20. The above expresses the sentiment of one in the south part of the county in reference to the Fair. We are glad to know that our southern brother is in favor of a Fair. We are so heartily in favor of one ourselves that we at times feel that the place should not enter into the discussion, but as a point of convenience is to be considered, according to the above, we believe that there are one thousand reasons why that Monroe hould not he selected as the place. Monroe is in the oeiiior of the county, sure enough, but this one reason will not counter balance the other thousand. The laige crowds that congregate at such places can not be accommodated in a small village. A Fair cannot be conducted on as small a plan nor on the same principles of a common picnic. We must expect people from a distance who do not care to go home every night or to camp out. Where are the resturants and Hotels in Monroe to feed from six to ten thousand people per day, which number has been known to be in, our city during former Fairs? We do not want to discuss the Fair question,, but we want a Fa.r and we wa n s one that is a success. We must not tfjopsider the distance only, nor do ye want to do too much considering. A law > 8 what we want and that this coming fail. The difference between big and little men in public life is illustrated in the tact that President Cleveland elect traveled all the way from New York to Fremont, Ohio, to attend the funeral of ex-Presjdent Ilayes, while Senator Magee, of Jjogansport, declined to permit an adjournment of the State Senate for three in respect of the dead statesman, Honduras has given a charter to the Louisiana lottery. Inside of a generation the lottery company will also be the government, and if so disposed, can #ome/} a y ie tie republic as a capital pri^e
