OHloe in Democrat Building, east side of See- , ond Street— ground floor Thb missing word with the Wall street gamblers seems to have been fcash.” Cyclones and railroad wrecks are developing an unpleasant disposition to become epidemic this spring. Bismaek still seems to be the biggest man in Germany, notwithstand' ing the Kaiser’s effort to overshadow him. President Cleveland does not stampede worth a cent, either on appointment, issuing bonds, or calling a summer extra session of Congress. Spain has adopted a new plan for dealing with revolutionists; she buys off the leaders, finding it cheaper than whipping them into submission W«W the Bimetalic basis of the currency is restored honest banks will not have to suspend lor lack of honest money to do business on. From the number of pillars of Wall street pulled down by the cordage trust, one would suppose it to & haye been the Samson of that 10-1 1 here seems to be some doubt as t<>the exact nature of the gathering of republican mourners at Louisville. Some call it a “wake,” others a funeral. £.lt is no new thing for Mr. States J man out-of-a-job Ingalls to be taken | for a madman. He has been mad ever since he failed to get re-elected to the Senate. It is safe to say that the passengers on the Texas train that was I picked up by a clyclone believe that even so desirable a thing as rapid transit may be overdone. 16,000 a month has been saved in the expenses of the administration | of the Pension office during the two months it has been under democratic | control just by cutting off little extravagances. M. Ullman, president of a Georgia 1 bank, committed suicide one day | last week. That many other bank officials may emulate his example is a consumation to be devoutly hoped for. It is held by some very eminent I ; thinkers that great men are a misfortune in politics. If it is so, the a Republican party isexceedingly lortunate at the present stage of its | history. It is the proud boast of the Snapper Democrats of New York that I not a man of them has been to the White House to beg office. It was < the Anti-Snappers who wanted the Wth. k The German Conservatives are I opposing the single gold standard | and demanding an, income tax. The | time is coming when the Shylock fi and the Plutocrat will find it harder |‘ to take possession of the earth than K they had expected. * ** ” Bg Judge Lochren, the new ComK missioner of Pensions, has abrogat I Kted Raom’s “complete files” orden. r The reform policy in the Pension f Bureau cannot make a better b<.gi n . - ning than by undoing everything Kthat Raum did. K It haß developed that the Chicago I EB*ir is, m some instances, as much three weeks behind on its pay I account. Yet it seems from the tEmoes charged tor pie that rt ought If to be absolutely rolling in wealth.

The Eastern and Northwestern Democrats are said to be complaining of the quantity and quality of patronage going to the West and South. It is strange, but some of the Western and Southern Democrats are doing the same thing themselves. It is very thoughtful of Mr. Leech to tender his resignation as Director of the Mint. It should be accepted at once, and hereafter all such vigorous and energetic Republicans should be removed without waiting to mak up their minds to resign. When the Russian treaty as signed by the Czar reaches Washington it will save a great deal of unpleasantness all around to throw’ it into the waste basket unsigned. But no matter what happens to it now, it will not be allowed to stand as an expression of the will of people who hate despotism. Foraker is now heard of, for the first time in a long while, as opposing the nomination of Mr. McKinley by the Ohio Republicans for Governor. If Mr. Foraker will oppose the election of McKinley, he will be in better company than he has been running with for years past. In Washington City the death rate among negro children is nearly three times as great as among white children, and in all the cities of the country there is a similar disproportion. The negro birth rate is somewhat greater than the white, but it is apparent that the life of our large cities is is every way demoralizing to the great mass of negroes. It seems to us a little out of the ordinary way of doing business to urge people to that which will be a benefit to them. But such is the situation of affairs in our own locality. We allude to the slowness of our people in sending in their votes for this Fall’s Fair officers. Those who are not supplied with tickets can get the same at this office on application. Apply at once! Secretary Carlisle flatly refused the demand of the New York bankers for an issue of Government bonds, and in spite of their conspiracy to raid the Treasury by shipping gold abroad his gold is now intact. The “financiers” who have been in the habit of running the Federal Treasury as a sort of annex to their own business have been taught a much-needed lesson. Bank failures are becoming entirely too frequent in this country. Were we to follow the example set by China more than seven centuries of bank failures would never be heard of. China has had but one bank failure in seyen hundred years, and the heads of the officials were chopped off. A little of this kind of practice in this civilized country of ours would improve the standing of our banks mightily. ——> Tp.e attendance at Sells Bros.’ circus last Friday was very meagre. There has been a general antipathy inaugurated by the people of Decatur against attending any circus ths t contains three rings. Only th< »se who are afflicted with crosseyedness realize their money’s worth by patronizing an exhibition wi.th three separate and distinct rings. By all means Jet us turn ■bl .ckward to ye old custom of bneiri ng-circusses. The New York Evening Post sjoeaks of the Democrats who have been calling on Mr. Cleveland with a view of accepting ofijee under the Democratic administration as “bumaiers.” —That is nonsense. The great of them seem to lhave occn Kentucky and Georgia •Colonels, and they werem the main just as dignified and just as virtuous as anyone who ever held office of -any kind. We are pleased to state, however, that Ratio Rose was not among I,fieni. 1 le has never had the White House door slammed in hts face in his life and he never will.

The regular army numbers about 20,000 men. But this is nothing compared with the great army of office-holders paid from Uncle Sam’s treasury. More than 180,000 people are now enrolled in the civil service. Os those about 113,000. are postal service employes. At the rate of 1,000 removals a day it would require half a year to turn all the offices over to the democrats, and at the rate pf 100 daily the change would require at least five years. Now if the department officials are to give the careful consideration to each applicant tor office that has been promised the various aspirants it will take even longer than this. And yet many men are very impatient with the methods of the present administration. Dr. Jonas Coverdale has made a very liberal proposition to the patrons of the public thoroughfare run' ning north-west from Decatur to the extent of one mile, on the old “River Road.” He proposes to furnish the amount of gravel necessary to pike the above named dis' tance free of charge. All he exacts from the patrons of the road is to clear away the earth above the gravel bed. Phis proposition, in our opinion, could easily be utilized by the owners and yenters of farms along this road, w’ithout any great inconvenience. The gravel on the Doctor’s farm is said to be superior in quality to any yet discovered in the county, and also superior to that of Wells county. Now that the above proposition is open and can be relied on, we would suggest that the amount of road work that property-holders and others have to perform on the above, road, for this year and next, be applied in hauling gravel for the construction of this pike. Let the supervisor and others along this thoroughfare have a coming together at their earliest leisure, and see what can be done in this matter. The Rev. James Miller, of Chicago, says: “Whether the World’s Fair shall be opened or closed on Sunday, will be determined, not by the Christian church, but by public sentiment. Whether visitors to the World’s Fair shall go away with the impression that Christianity is the smallest or the greatest force of the nineteenth century and ot our American hfe depends entirely upon the action and energy of the Christian church. If we waste our opportunity whining because we cannot have our own way we shall make the world.feel how small we are and how insignificant our influence is. If, on the other han.dWhe Fair is opened and we throw ourselves into the whirl of this mighty movement of genius and industry, and make the world feel what a mighty, unique and irresistable force Christianity is, then indeed they will go forth to all lands as from a new pentecost to tell in their own tongue of the wonderful works of God.” Temperance, in the State of Michigan, is getting to be the chief topic of legislation. If a man gets drunk he must accept-one of two alternatives: Bay the usual fines for being disorderly, or give a bond that he will go to some gold cure establishment and take the treatment. '

Ninety-Three Votea Received by Tko Fair Committee of The l>cmoerat~-Name« of Citizens Who Have Been Chosen as good Material To Act as Officers. Last week we mentioned that wo would publish the names of the persons who stood the highest on the list for choice as officers and directors of this Fall’s Fair. The number of votes, thus far received by the Fair committee of the Democrat, is ninety-three. Os this number of votes there are only seven that “hit” upon the same person as their choice for President, while the other officers and Directors are almost a unit when the township in which the voting is done is taken into consideration. Here are the names of the people leading in the race as they came down the home stretch in this the first heat: President, Geo. H. Martz; Vice-Presi-dent, A. Gottschalk; Secretary, J. VV. Tindall; Treasurer, Adam Peas. Among the names which appear on the ninety-three tickets, the following will give the reader an idea who they are. While some one may choose a certain man for President, another voter may choose the same man for Vice-President, or Treasurer, or Secretary, or Director,and so on. When the polls close, on June 2d, the person having received the greatest nnmber of votes for whatever office he has been chosen, will act as such for this Fall's Fair. After holding the first Fair, the Officers and Directors of this election can make whatever change in their respective positions they deem prudent. Here are the names that were on the ninetythree tickets: David Steel, Arthur Fisher, Wm. Jackson, Joshua Bright, Nathan Ehrnian, Isaac Brown, A. Gottschalk. James Bell, Daniel Weldy, A. A.

It is every business man’s desire to place his goods before the public; or, in other words, every wide-awake business man tries to inform the public in reference to the good qualities of his merchandise. To do this various schemes are devised. The best and most successful mode of advertising is through the columns of some Good Newspaper. To reach your customers you must advertise in their paper. Or, to be more explicit, you must advertise in a paper of sufficient circulation to reach—as nearly at practicable-all the people m the neighborhood who patronize your business. In order to accomplish this end, it is very essential on the part of the advertiser to first examine into the extent of circulation which the x a '

rious newspaper? in his town or city has. ,To advertise your business in a newspaper that has a circulation of only a few hundred,-— and those few hundred distributed almost within the very doorway from which they are printed—would be throwing money away. The Democrat has more than double —and also nearly quadruple—the circulation ever all the newspapers published in Decatur. It circulates largely m every township in Adams County.' With this established fact to start with, there can no mistake be made by our business men in giving The Demj«:.:\t the preference when looking l< i a medium through which to make known their business. ►MBs mz The Democrat made mention a few weeks ago, of the uneven and dilapidated condition of Third street from Monroe street to the old Elm tree. This street is used more thin any other street in the City, and there is a general complaint made thereof by freighters and others who use it frequently that they cannot haul anything like an average load over this street, for fear of breaking their wagons. We do not believe in “patterning” after towns and cities of younger years and less population than we possess, but there is a town not more than thirty miles distant from Decatur with a population of not more than fifteen hundred, that has several streets made of bjnek. Decatur can not afford to suck the hind teat in every thing. We must awake from our present lethergetic state and interest ourselves in every thing that will place Decatur where she rightly belongs,—at the head of the class. A WEDDING SWINDLE. The smooth-tongued young man, with the sanctimonious face, has again swindled a New England farmer. This time the town of New Canaan, Conn., is the scene, and Goodrich Hubbell the chief actor. The story of the swindle runs as follows: One day recently the oily-tongued youth called on Mr. Hubbell and represented himself as a preacher. He asked shelter, which was readily given. Presently a man and woman came along in quest of a clergyman to marry them. Farmer Hubbell asked his new acquaintance if he would perform the ceremony, and the latter at once agreed. After the usual formula had been recited, the marriage certificate was signed by bride and groom, the farmer and his wife acting as witnessess. The couple withdrew, as did the alleged minister, and tbe following day Farmer Hubbell discovered that the supposed marriage certificate was a note for 1275, which he was called upon to cash. In another column of tbe Democrat of this week will be found the Street Commissioner’s Proclamation. Os course there will be no hanging m store for the person or persons failing to comply with the order, but we would respectfully intimate that any one failing to “walk the crack” will be dealt with according to the latest articles of war.
