In advance 11 “ Six Month* ' Four Months All lubacrlptlons not paid during the year will be charged at the rate of K.OO. oitlee tn Democrat Building, east aide of Second Street-ground floor Wur not Decatur have a brick street. Try it on Second street for a change! Let all those who desire to vote for officers for this Vail’s hair, send in their “choice” at once. Time is up June 2d. If King Humbertjcan’t find anybody to go into his cabinet in his own country, his>ttentton is respectfully solicited tojthe Hon. John Gilbert Shanklin,*of Indiana. It causes a terrible falling off in the receipts of the village postmaster when an engaged couple gets married. Were it not for love the post-office department would soon go into bankruptcy. The terrible possibility is suggested by an exchange that the Geary law may cause the Chinese to retaliate by cutting off the supply of fire crackers. What then would the glorious Fourth of July amount to in this country? However much .the newspapers of the State warn the public against “going up against" the many swindlers that accompany circuses, there will an occasional “mark" turn up who loses more money againt a snap of this kind than would pay for the Democrat a natural life time. The building of an electric railroad through the old town and over the battle-field of Gettysburg, has been denounced by most all the newspapers in the State of Pennsylvania. The Federal Government should put a stop to any further proceedings of this kind, and take full possession of the entire battlefield. - . 11 ■*<- The failure of the World’s Fair to “draw” as largely as was hoped for is attributed by many to the fact that the railroad rates are not yet sufficiently low to afford an inducement to a large class ’who would otherwise attend. It is said that the railroads are already considering the question and will probably still further reduce the rates within the next few weeks.

Ths Penssylvania Railroad Company speaks in derision of the idea that the rolling stock of its lines can be operated with electric energy as a motive power. It might prove impracticable at the present stage of electrical advancement, but what human genius will accomplish in this comparatively new field of scientific endeaver is likely to be far beyond anything now projected by the mosionary enthusiast. No other civilized nation on earth has as bad, cheap roads as there are in America, and foreigners who visit this country during the world’s fair will wonder that people who have developed so marvelously in almost every other commendable direction are so backward in a line of improvement that yields so handsome return for money invested as d<wa thia one. ggBHBSm’. I .-!' !.. Ths: recent lynchings, the murder MX open court of Mr. Samuel Wesner and the storming and defense of the Terse Haute Postoffice have done Indiana incalculable injury abroad. It is high tin>e that rowdyism was being rM to cover everywhere in this state. It cannot be wholly suppressed because of the unhealthy status of public opinion in many communities. But those who indulge it can be made to leel the displeasure of law abiding people m a way that will appeal to thei- sordid natures.

Patrons of the Democrat once in a while forget to read the most interesting articles Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt made his report ot the Terre Haute postoffiee investigation to the Postmaster General Monday. Os he found it convenient to see nothing good on the democratic side of the controversy, but Postmaster Donham will continue to do business at the old stand. The best thing that President Cleveland could do for the good of the party, would be to appoint the the editors of the Louisville CourierJournal and St. Louis Republic each to an Indian Agent’s position, and issue forty rations of sage-brugh whisky to each warrior on the reservation they would be in charge of, and the country would be safe. The Union soldier of the late war would probably have a little rest. The Indiana Undertakers advise ministers to make their sermons at funerals short and to remain away from the grave. They also want singers paid. The undertaker is either presumptuous or envjous of the participation of other people in funeral services. He is stepping off his plane when he seeks to regulate anything not strictly within his province. Last Sunday 200,000 people—-working-men and their families for the most part —visited the World’s Fair. And there isn’t any reason to believe that their morals were very )adly damaged thereby, either. About the only people injured, so far as can be seen from this distance, were the saloon keepers, whose ilaces, so the dispatches tell us, were deserted. The Missionary Society of the M. 2. church has begun a- crusade against the Geary law. It has invited all the religious denominations of the country to join in an oiganized movement to prevent the deportation of the Chinese. With the churches on one side and sand-lot joliticians on the other, the national administration will wish that either Geary or the Chinese were out of the country. John Hanson Craig, of Danville, Ind., is undoubtedly the largest man in the world. He is 37 years old, and weighs 907 pounds. He is 6 teqt 5 inches high, measures 8 feet 4 inches around the hips, 18 inches around the ankle, 29 inches around the knee, and 66 inches around the thigh next to the body. He requires 41 yards for a suit of clothes, and pounds of yarn for stockings. Mrs. Craig is a good-looking blonde and weighs 130 pounds.

The White Star Line has given its order for an ocean greyhound 800 feet long. When the ship builders first began to increase the length of the ocean steamers it was predicted that the monsters would break m two, but there are no indications that' the limit has yet been reached. Some visionary wag his even suggested that people will yet cross the ocean dry shod on a boat with her nose sticking over a New York dock and her stern connecting with a gang plank at Qeenstown. The World’s Fair is very likely to be a financial failure. The operating expenses are enormous and it is claimed, have not been met thus far by the gate receipts. If the gates are kept closed on Sunday there will be no doubt whatever of a big deficit and as our religious friends are always especially -zealous when they are engaged in interfering with the happiness and enjoyment of other people, it begins to look as if they would succeed in making it inipos sible (for those who have to work during the six days to get a glimpse of the Fair. There must be something perticularly enjoyable in this united movement of our religious friends to preventthe hard working pepplc of Chicago and vicinity front finding any other Sunday divertisement tha n is afforded by the Chicago saloons and dance Balls, judging by the ex traordinary efforts they are making under the pretense of “respect for the Sabbath.”

EVERY BUSINESS MAN IN THE CITY INTERESTED, Good Hoiulk Within Kciu-li of U» Without any Money Out* Lay by Properly Owners Along the Proposed Public Rond. ARK YOU READY’ FOR THE OPPORTUNITY? The Road Question is one that does not only interest our Farmers, but it interests every Business man in our City. Every man or woman owning real estate is interested in having good roads. Not that every one travels the Roads or expects to haul heavy loads over the same, as not more than two-thirds of our City people use the Roads to travel or haul on. But with good Roads the value of property is enhanced, and a better market for those who want to sell is afforded. Towns where the Roads leading into them are macadamized, are in a condition to do business the year round; while towns with mud roads can only expect to do a good business when the Roads are good. This is the condition of Decatur at present. While we do as much busine-s as any City of our size, —when the Roads are good—we are handicapped with bad Roads every year more than will offset the good ones, and therefore a great part of our business is transacted only when the roads are good,—the balance is lost. A number of our citizens feel that to build macadamized roads would be too expensive an undertaking. Dr. Coverdale and County Treasurer Robinson offer the land owners along the road from Patterson & Pillars’ Mill, on the west side of the river, to Mile Creek, free material to build this Road. If the Farmers who live along this Road and those who live beyond Mile Creek who use this Road when they come to Decatur, do not feel enough interested to take hold bf the work and put it through, some of the business men of our City should interest themselves in the project. The material which is within easy reach to the Road, is of the very best Let some one start this project at once, and the work will soon be completed. The following selections are from the pen of Junius Henri Browne, of his and Reflections on Momonal Day: “It it be grateful and honorable, as the Roman maxim is, to die for one’s country, it is grateful and honorable likewise to remember those who have given their lives for patriotism, and to decorate on Momonal day their graves with flowers.” “A generation has grown up since the civil war began. When another generation shall have appeared, scarcely a single man of the hundreds of thousands who took part in the struggle is likely to be alive. Let all who survive do honor to those who have gone, on this day, which may be regarded as the anni-

versary of the country’s preservation.” “Death which comes to us all soon hr late, is generally but a commonplace, prosaic fact. As everybody dies, death oonyeys not the slightest distinction. But the man who dies in a great cause, as the Union soldiers did, is ennobled by the and his death is linked with history.” “In the next century Americans will- be proud and happy to trace their lineage through some soldier in the civil war. And he or she who can say: ‘My great grand-father fell at Donelson or Shiloh or Antietam or Gettysburg,’ will have the highest patent of nobility that a democracy can confer.” “Flowers are always considered an appropriate contribution at a wedding, a feast or a funeral, at the entrance into the world and the going out of it But they are never quite so appropriate as when laid on the graves of men who died that the nation might live.” “The civil war made us for the first time all Americans. It destroyed state sovereignty and created union sovereignty instead. Apomattox settled iXQctional differences for all time. After that we ceased to hear of loyalty to Virginia. Mississippi, South Carolina. That kind of loyalty was swallowed up in loyalty to the republic which is alone consistent with permanent government, with liberal and truly enlightened institutions.” Those Chinese who shall be sent back to China will be willing to go back. They get free passage and will have quite a comfortable sum representing their savings to take back with them. Those who are not yet ready to return will register and stay here until they get a few hundred dollars ahead. But every Chinaman arranges when he comes to this country to return to China if living, or to have his bones returned if he should die in this “land of the barbarians.” Nobody wants the Chinese in the United States except corporations, or individuals who amass great fortunes by robbing labor. Chinese are cheap and nasty, and will never assimulate with the higher civilization which recognizes labor, not only as elevating in itself but as the foundation of all wealth. There is a class of people in Decatur, who, in this~*>progressive age, have outlived their usefulness as citizens. There might have been a time when they were of some benefit to the community, but that time is no more. They have never reached the top round of the ladder in any undertaking. Whatever amount of earthly possessions they lay claim to, has been thrust upon them by a deceased relatiye or friend, or by force of circumstances in which Father Time was the only contributor. What was customary with them and the people of the neighborhood forty years ago, ought to be the custom to-day. New and improved methods of doing business have no charms for them. Enterprises that would come to our city and give employment to a large number of workingmen, are kept away by their interference and discouragement. In short, they are here; not as citizens of a progressive spirit, but simply as citizens.

THE FAIR OFFICERS ELECTED, Every Township in Adnms County Represented—Nhdics of the Officers und Directors. The Democrat, according to the promise made a few weeks since, regards to publishing the names ot the gentlemen who would receive the greatest number of votes for the positions which the patrons of the Fair thought would serve the association satisfactorily, is on time with the day set, June 2d. On May Ist the polls were opened for ballots, and the number of votes received by the “Fair Commit ike of The Democrat,” was Four Hundred and Fifty-six. Tins number of votes mentioned as many as thirty people —from every township in the County—as a choice for the position of President and other offices to be filled. As only one person of the many voted for for the same office could be chosen, we herewith take the pleasure of announcing the result to the readers of the Democrat. Officers. President—George H. Martz. Vice President—A. Gottschalk. Treasurer—Charles True. Secretary—John W. Tyndall. Directors. f Root—Frank Gideon. Union—Frank Barger. Preble—Louis Fruchte. Kirkland—Joshua Bright. . Michael Miller, Washington,- GeorgeTricko ; St. Mary’s—Davis Dailey. Blue Creek—J. S. Beatty. Monroe—Peter Ashbaucher. French—Jonas Neuenscwander. Hartford—L. O. Bears. « Wabash-Manin Herr, Jefferson—Peter Kinney. From our extended acquaintance with the above named gentlemen, who have been chosen to serve as the Officers and Directors for this Fall’s Fair, we are pleased to mention to the readers of the Democrat that they are all No. 1. They might also be termed miscellaneous people, By this we mean that they represent many benches of industry,— something very necessary to have in well organized Fair Associations. It has been deemed adv.sable by the Fair Committee, that the elected Officers and Directors of the Fair Association have an early coming together, for the purpose of transacting the general business of the Association. To do this, it has been decided that Friday, June 9th, 1893, at 2:30 o’clock p. m., would je the most proper day and date to perform this work. It is hoped that a prompt response to the above call may be indulged in by all the Officers and Directors. In an address to “Democratic Cowards,” the Louisville CourierJournal on the reduction of the Pension Rolls, says: “Stand by your Guns.’” We have no idea where the editor of the C-J became acquainted with so military remark. It certainly must have been borrowed from some of the Southern Brigadiers; foi, the time when such commands were in use, the editor of the C.-J. was not in sight on the Union side of the fence. He, like a great many more editors, are doing more harm to the Democratic party by their Pension talk, than all the Republican newspapers on earth.
