Olßoe In Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground floor From a meteorological standpoint it was a cold day when Harrison got left. The regular session of the Fiftyeighth General Assembly of Indiana closed Monday at 4 p. m. The new Administration seems to march on with as firm and gal. lant a step as an old veteran. Judging from our Mew York advices the Democratic machine in that State has been playing horse with itself. Soke-people are already beginning to wonder if Mr. Cleveland’s Cavinet will have any influence with the Administration. Au. changes in the weather will be registered and charged up as Cleveland weather. The 4th was sent out as a sample. About the most difficult problem the late alleged Indiana Legislature had to tussle with, was why there were not more doors to the State House! The Wall street people seem to think they have Mr. Carlisle just where they want him, but he is too old a bird to be caught by sprinkgu.. Itnr* oolf <ruii nai Congress with a Democratic Executive, ought to be able to propel the Administration ship without sail or compass to a more satisfactory landing than did the one just put in dry-dock. And now comes “bleeding Kansas,” and takes her place in the Democratic column. For the first time in the history of the State she is represented in the U. S. Senate by a Democrat—Martin by name. One hundred years ago, March 4, George Washington was inaugurated as President on his second term. A century has elapsed atrd Grover Cleveland has assumed the reins of this Government for his second term. !.< ’ ■ '' - ! The Department Encampment- G. ; A. R., will be held in the city of •Evansville, on toe sth and 6th of April. We hope that the Encamp ment will not fail to pay its respects to Mr. Shanklin’s insult to the old soldier. We have great hopes in the wor k to be done at Geneva to-morr*jw when the members of Farmers Institute get down to business. There should be no lack of energy displiyed with them when suc’j important business as road-construct-ing is brought up for their consideration * -Gil Shanklin’s Evans’,ille Courier says that one-third of the pensioners are “dead beat <” and onethird are able to live without and should not have it. f.hanklin may as well remove that Gubernatorial bee from his bonnet, at once, for no man who thus insults »he Union soldier can be Governor of Indiana. L The Tammany Society made a great showing at the Inaugural oer- | emonies. They were there nearly 4000 strong, and after they W passed the reviewing stand they left the ranks and crowding to the front of the stand gave President Cleveland cheer after cheer who reeog- ... nixed the ovation by repeatedly bowing and raising his hat. Thegenius of Tammany is that when its knows when it is whipped it has thegood sense to acknowledge it andfr bow aubmissively to the inevitable.. K ’ *

The average legislator is much like a mule—he has a big ear for his own music. Judge Jackson has taken the oath of office and is now a member of the supreme court. The judicial ermine hangs fittingly on his shoulders. An antiquary says the telephone has been known in India for over a thousand years. No wonder the Hindoos have all become imperturbable philosophers. President Cleveland’s reference to civil service reads very well, but on the side the boys will be more gratified if he proceeds to “turn the rascals out.” Mr. Cleveland’s announcement that Civil Service reform will still be observed more rigidly than ever, made the office-seekers a good deal chillier than the snow-storm did. If Judge Gresham should be called upon to twist the tail of the British lion be will be in earnest about it. There is no humbug or jingoism about Judge Gresham. Should the administration carry out the policy laid down in Mr. Cleveland’s inaugural address, by 1896 the Republican party will have dwindled into insignificance. The Kadi of Indianapolis gave a tramp “sixty days,” for rushing the “growler.” He had kicked a vicious dog into a pulp byway of amusement while waiting for the lady of the house to bring him a “hand-out.” President Cleveland will press the button that will open the World’s Fair and start the vast machinery in motion, and he will be the moving spirit in a general governmental reform that will be of great benefit to the masses, as well. When so good a Republican and ex-Union soldier as Senator Hawley expresses the wish on the floor of the Senate that the new administration will give the pension system a thorough inspection and root out the frauds which is certain will be found, it is time for demagogues to sing low. , .. - ■■ = It is the general belief that the Republicans have been retired permanently and not for four years only. It is not only without leaders but those of its followers who have not come into the Democratic camp with GresCham are warmimg themselves around the camp fires of the Populists. i ' ! ” A Republican politician out in Arkansas rresolved that he would blow his bi ains out. He placed the gun to his .head and pulled the trigger, and for the first time in his life he discovered that he had no brains to blow ouUHe only made an air hole through his head. This will doubtless serve hjs purpose bitter than brains, for sensible ideas will now have a chance to enter his head. The New .York Sun is amusing itself arid proibably some of its readers by poking fun every day at Mr. Hoke Smith, tine new Secretary of the in erior. It is the name that excites the Sun’s ridicule. The merits of the m:m who wears the . name arg not questioned. Those . who know Mr. Smith speak very highly of his ab'Jities and if they are right the -people will forgive him. his flame. » , g . ... L... 3——r;, "The New York World has made a manvass of the members-elect of the new House of Representatives an d says that a majority of them ar i in favor of repealing the Sherman Silver Purchase law. Certainly every Democratic member of the n< w House should vote for the rept ial for the reason that the platform of the National Democracy in the cs mpaign in which they were candi dates for Congress declared empl atically and unequivocally in lb vor of the repeal. The party is pi jdged to it, and a party that fails keep their pledges will soon find iia elf in the minoritv. w o’, ' '

There is no doubt that when Mr. Cleveland takes up the reins, among the first acts will be that of probing the Hawaiian scheme to the bottom. The Hoosier law-makers (1*) adjourned last Monday and leturned to their homes, where many of them, for the good of the Slate, should remain for the balance of their lives. Every man who votes for the John bherman Gold scheme ought to be retired from public life, and every Western man who does will have a good chance to hide his shame in permanent obscurity. In view of the fact that 118 of Cleveland’s electoral votes came from the north and 150 all told from the South, including the states that did not join the confederacy, the charge of its being a sectional party is pretty thoroughly knocked out. The latest legislative break in Missouri is a bill requiring all the butterine sold in that market to be colored pink, this mark being evidence to the purchase that he is not buying the genuine article. No special provision seems to have been made for the protection of those w’ho are color blind. ~""K "" At least two of the Chicago papers that plume themselves on their power have kept standing and running for months the declaration, “The World’s Fair must not be closed on Sunday.” The unanimity with which Congress decreed that it must be closed would seem to indicate that the Chicago press has overestimated its own potency. Senator Martin, of Kansas, who was supposed would have some trouble in taking his seat was sworn in without any objection. The Democrats will have a majority over all in the Senate but ihe Populist Senators Pfeffer and Kyle will vote with the Democrats on the tariff bill. It is going to be a Democratic administration from first to last and from top to bottom. The New York Recorder, one of the stalwart Republican papers of the Empire city, says: “In the interest of all the people it is a matter of congratulation that the Democratic party will have a working majority in*the next Senate, and will not be compelled to depend upon the mongrel populist vote to carry out its measures.” So say we all. Tue Grand Jury of Columbus, Ind., has issued summons on 100 ladies and gentlemen of the “400” of that city, including the wives and daughters and parental heads of all the wealthy and prominent families, to have them indicted for “gambling” in playing progressive euchre in which prizes are offered. This intelligence will be read with a shudder by scores of society people in this city who are given to the indulgence of the same “vice. ’ A pretty female Salvation army Captain attached to the Fort Dodge barracks has been court-martialed and “fired” from the jingo host for marrying a good looking but unregenerate private. The Salvationists seem to have taken a leaf from U. S. army ethics. A captain in our own regulars was recently hauled up before a court-martial for marrying his servant girl. The City of New York is still soured over the selection of Chicago as the World’s Fair city. The board of police commissioners have decided not to make an exhibit of their department, and also decline to send two of their policemen in company with those from all other large cities lor duty at the Fair. However, the Fair will come off as advertised. One of the narrowest displays of sentiment that an official could well present is that shown by the custodian olVthe Statuary Hall at the National'Capitol, who objects to the placing there of a statute of Father Marquette, because the distinguished explorer and missionary was not a naturalized citizen of the United States.' Such a ruling would exclude Christopher Columbus, who failed to take out papers and whose deeds ire emblazoned in bronze on the great doors of the hall. Marquette led the van of civilization into Die field of some of its greatest achievements and the honor due his memory should not be prevented by the prejudices of a pig headed official.

A p.,., lb . morality pervading European governments does not seem to be of a very high order. Not by along shot. Why don’t they look to the United States for a high and noble example? Wo have just given an object lesson to the world of the comity that should exist among the nations of the earth. The lesson in taking to ourselves Hawaii whether she desires annexation or not is sufficient to show’ our high moral standing. There will not be the least opposition to the confirmation of Judge Gresham. A canvass of the Senate was made with a view to ascertain if there was any formidable opposition to him. It was found that there were but.three Democratsand two Republicans who w’ould vote against him, and so the idea of mak. ing a .fight upon him in the Senate was abandoned. He will make a great Secretary of State. He would also make a great President. However, the Democracy will not lack for good Presidential timber in 1896. The fact that during President Harrison’s Administration he has pardoned seventeen bank wreckers and embezzlers—a class of criminals guilty of crimes that rob hundreds of families who are reduced to beggary. This gang of criminals comprises men of influence and high standing in the community, and by their intelligence, suavity and assumed moral standing before the world are implicitly trusted, and are thereby enabled to enroll their victims by thousands. They are more deserving of punishment than the common thieves or housebreakers, who are always compelled to serve their full term. Mr. Cleveland four years ago left ♦ 166,325,981 in the Treasury. The balances of disbursing officers were ♦58,295,127, making a grand total of cash within the command of President Harrison’s Secretary of the Treasury of ♦124,621,108. The cash on hand Saturday when Mr. Cleveland returned to the White House was about 123,000,000, and the balances of disbursing officers amount to #15,000,000. Deducting this #38,000,000 from the total of cash within the Secretary’s command four years ago we have ♦ 120,621,108 as the amount of actual cash which has been lost by the Treasury during Mr. Harrison’s administration. Verily it was time for Mr. Cleveland to return to the helm of State. The most astounding feats in the manipulation of stocks in Wall street was the recent Reading transaction, in which that gigantic combination was flattened out. In that stupendous three days’ struggle no less than 1,800,000 shares of that stock changed hands, although there are in existance but 800,000 shares, and in that brief period nearly ♦16,000,000 of clean cash was lost and a won. But the mystery of it all exists in the fact that the prominent victim in that colossal crash, President McLeod, emerges from the general wreck and rum, like the fabled Phoenix, as receiver, and now occupies a position of more autocratic power than when he was president. The tricks and the dark labyrinths of the heathen Chinese are eclipsed by the mysteries of Wall street. The following is said to have been a memorandum of one of the Tammany braves setting forth the things that would be needed to properly celebrate the Inauguration last Saturday. They are classed as “absolute necessities” and are intended to supply 175 men: Five cases of Pepper whisky. Forty-eight dozen quarts of imported beer. Four cases of champagne. One case of apollinairs, x One thousand Havana cigars. One hundred loaves of bread. Fifty pounds corned beef, fifty pounds of ham and twenty-five pounds of Swiss cheese. Eight corkscrews. Twenty-five packs of cards and 1,000 chips. This delegation also took along a batter and two assistants with stove and irons complete, who ironed all of their silk hats in the morning before the parade started. Tammany understands how to do things on a princely scale. Every man in Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet is, or has been married. ME Cleveland’s conversion to the matrimonial policy seems to have been sweeping and complete.

,1 h.. although unsuccessfully, fought for economy in the appropriation bills ever since the Senate began their consideration. He told the Republican Senators the other day that they seemed determined to pile up the appropriations for the purpose of compelling the Democrats to impose new taxes to increase those already imposed upon the people in order to meet the obligations of the government, and he thereby “called a turn” on the Republican policy during the present congresß.-,-Ev-ansville Courier. It is more than probable that there will never again be a solid South; nor is it desirable that there should be. Southern Democrats who believe in Republican policies have remained iri the Democratic party solely because of the sectional issue which the Republicans with singular fatuity kept to the front until the very last. The election of Mr. Cleveland guarantees to the South absolute independence, and there is no longer a reason why Southern Protectionists should not take their places where all Protectionists belong within the ’•anks of the Republican party. The Courier belives they will do this and that they will probably make the break within the next two years.— Evansville Courier. President Cleveland remarks m his Inaugural address on the tariff question show that he is fully in line with the advanced thought of. his party on this subject. He declared w’ar upon “protection for protection’s sake,” that is in favor of a strictly revenue tariff. His remarks on this •subject according to the news reports were “wildly cheered” by the audience as they undoubtedly will be by the great masses of the Democracy in the West and South. If the Democratic party will follow the leadership of Mr. Carlisle on the moneyquestion as they are ready and eager to follow the President on the tariff question the end of Mr. Cleveland’s administration will witness a solution of both of these problems in the interests of the great' masses of society. But the Democracy must submit to leadership if it expects or would deserve continued success. In refusing to amend the Grubb’s libel law the Legislature has been guilty of a gross injustice to the press of the State. Some of the members who spoke upon the bill showed themselves to be habitual libelers themselves. We have seen the rise and fall of a great many self-exploit statesmen but we have yet to see any man make a successful career in public life who has anything that makes it necessary for him to treat the newswapers as his personal enemies. When a man’s conduct in public life invites criticism he would better change his course for he may rest assured that in 99 cases in 100 ths newspaper is right and he is wrong. As to the Grubb’s libel law while it is a.great injustice to the press. The Courier has never feared it being careful always to make sure of the truth of everything it publishes that reflects directly or indirectly upon personal character. All reputable papers pursue the same course and a disrepu; table newspaper cannot libel any? body. Every Democratic Congressman hereafter who votes to extend the pension roll or who fails to ot vote cut off of the present pension list the tens of thousands of humbugs and frauds who are living off of the hard earnings of the people although amply able to make their own living, should be marked for defeat. At least one-third of the pensioners are professional dead-beats while another third are cithetf already rich or are competent to earn their own living without assistance from any source. Down with the fraudulent pensioners.—Evansville, (Indiana) Courier, March 6, 1893. Just such declarations as the above, if kept up by the Democratic press during the next jfour ‘years will remove that party from power in 1896. To call any portion of the men who made it possible for such papers as the Courier to enjoy the privilege of free speech, is an insult, and will be resented by those whom the Courier is disposed to call “dead-beats” when the proper time comes. There was a time not many years ago when the Courier editor *was very popular in Indiana politics, and no doubt but what he is reserving himself for future use to the party, but utterences of the above kind will forever shelve his chances as a winner in any official race that he may be entered t in. - Put this in your Itat-roldiers!
