Ofllcein Democrat Building, east side of Second Street— ground Door A resident of Kansas is said to have taken the Keeley cure for the fishing habit. Letmbur citizens assist the Officers and Directors of the Fair Association in whatever way they, can, to- . day. The attention of our Board of Health is called to the unhealthy condition of the alleys running parallel with and adjoining Second street. Prof. Snow was again made the favorite in the County Superintendent’s race, last Monday, receiving 10 votes to his opponent, Mr. Henry Laugbrey, of Monroe, 2. Harriet Beecher Stowe is livchildhood over again, cutting out paper dolls and singing nursery ballads. Her health seems to grow better as her mind loses itself. W/liat are our officials doing now. ayfays that they cannot enforce the ; /law forbidding the feeding of stock ; and making a nuisance of our public thoroughfares? We allude to ' Court street, which has every appearance—all but the stalls, —of a , feed-yard.

Some of our City Officials may feel a little timid about notifying the owners and occupants of premises regards to the necessity of cleaning-up, where the occasion demands it, but it must be done to ayoid sickness. Too much attention cannot be given this matter by those in authority. One line notices which read: “Disinfect Your Premises. By Order of Sanitary' Committee,” are ported up in several places in our city. We are not informed if this is general throughout the city, but if not, it could be put in use to a veiy good purpose where the occupant of a building is a little negligent in ting matter. I ——— The Farmer’s Institute will meet in Peterson to-morrow, Saturday, and will transact such business as has been put down on the program, for this occasion. We fail to see any Gravel Road “espousers” down for a talk, but hope that after all other business of the meeting has been disposed of, that a favorable discussion of important subject may be indugled in by all present. Street Commissioner Arch cold while making his official rounds last Saturday, halted in the rear of the Democrat office. He found every thing in apple-pie order so far aour teriitory extended, and complimented us on our cleaned-up appearance. The condition of our. alley, 11 however, knocked him but on first sight. Ihe Mass Meeting held in the -city of Edinburg, this Stale, .June' Ist. by ex-1 mon soldiers, in which resolutions were passed censuring'' the public press ol the country who proclaim that the pension ..system is 3 fraud, have done tin- proper h m There are a, few newspapers of-‘our., acquaintance who are always lu-Tlv- ' aching about paying the j-ust. claim s of qx-Luioii soldiers. Among th«? number-in our State may be mem tioned the Evansville Cou-ier.-whoiw. editor, John GilLert.Shanklm,did.i,’i get to be Governor of Indiana account oi his pronounced views, and who is not meeting with the most favorable recognition in A Cashinglon up to the present writing.

1 GoLden Oil was in great demand lon our streets last Saturday, at 50c 1 per bottle. We noticed several of I our farmers and towji-folks going lup against this fake with as much J vim as would a hungry trout after a I live grasshopper. To call these people suckers would be out of place, they take the bait too quickly for that. They are simply “out"—the price they put up for these nostrums. There is one thing in favor of the Street faker to some of our business people, namely? He’s alive and advertises, and therefore catches the trade. We were told of a business house in Decatur that sells better handkerchiefs than were sold by the street faker at five for twenty five cents, but he don’t advertise, and consequently it doesn't become known to the people. This is free. To-day the Officers and Directors of this Fall’s Fair Association will meet in Decatur for the purpose of transacting such business as will be necessary for a general commencement. Announcement of the time for holding the same will appear in the Democrat next week. Now let our citizens show their business qualifications in an undertaking that will benefit them without a dollar s worth of capital invested. The idea of putting down brick or some other material, for the betterment of Second street, between Monroe street and the old Elm tree, has many times been suggested by the Democrat. When making this veiy necessary improvement, it is also verv calmly suggested that the alleys immediately on the East and West sides of Second street be cut down to the proper depth, and the “boulders” now on Second street be put down in the alleys above mentioned.

Extremists should not be kept away from the World’s Fair because it is to be bpeu on Sundays. They ride on cars that are run on Sundays, have their picnics on grounds that are let for the same purpose on Sunday, patronize boats that are used for Sunday excursions and deal with many classes of men who do not observe the Sabbath according to the strictest interpretation of the command to “keep it holy.” The fact that the fair is to be open on the first day of the week does not require any one to violate his conscience by being there on that day, or justify anyone else in boycotting the great attraction. Result ol the Silver Craze. Commercial and financial statistics show that during the past five years we have exported $291,194,407 more merchandise than we have . imported, yet, on the other Jiand, during -the same period we have jsentto foreign countries $173,7158,>7lO more gold than we have rej ceived. This is brought about by J the withdrawal of foreign invest--1 xnents in this country. American securities are being sent us. and there has been a shrinkage in , these investments since I--9 of i| nearly. 5139,090,990.

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. The President’s Financial Policy. President Cleveland has decided to convene Congress in extra session ear)}’ in September. In this connection the President says; “While there has been no mystery or secrecy in regard to my intentions in this matter, I think it not a miss that our people should bo informed authoritatively that the time is at hand when their representatives in congress will bo called upon to deal with a financial condition of which is the only menace to the country’s welfare and prosperity. It is well for the people to take up the subject for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions as to the merits of a financial policy which obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion with gold taken from our reserve. One does not need the eye of a financier to see that this gold thus subtracted from the government's stock is eagerly seized by other nations for the purpose of strengthening their credit at our expense. “It does not need the art of statesmanship to detect the danger that awaits upon the continuance of this operation. Already the timidity of capital is painfully- apparent, and none of us can tail to see that fear and apprehension in monetary circles will ultimately bring suffering to every humble home in our land. “I think that between now and the meeting of congress much depends upon the action of those engaged in financial operations and business enterprises. Our vast national resources of credit are abundantly sufficient to justify them in the utmost tpith and confidence. If instead of being frightened they are conservative, and instead of gloomily anticipating immediate disaster they contribute their share of hope and steadiness they will perform a patriotic duty and at the same time protect their own interests. The things just now needed are coolness and calmness in financial circles and study and reflection among our people.”

Cornelius Herz, whose sickness in England was made an excuse for his non-appearance to answer for alleged offenses in connection with the Panama scandal, has just shown himself a man of colossal impudence. Public agitation because of this matter was growing calm and the government waS. congratulating itself upon the worst being over, but Herz has thrown a bomb into the camp. He notifies the Cabinet that the demand for his extradition from England must be withdrawn; that the suit brought against him by the Reinach family must be stopped, and that his great service to science must be acknowledged. If these demands are not granted he declares that he will make public the names of the Ministers, Senatorsand Deputies who accepted bribes from the canal company. That the government cannot comply with the terms of such an ultimatum is apparent* and should the threats of the archconspirator be carried out, France is destined to another vigorous shaking up in her political affairs.

INDIGNANT VETERANS. > ' —— • They Denounce the Publlcntlon of lintupportcd <'lutr<cs by the Prose of the Country. At a mass meeting of the ex-Union soldiers and sailors of Edinburg, Indiana, and vicinity, bold in the G. A. R. Hall,on Thursday, Juno 1, the following preamble and resolutions, reported by a Committee consisting of J. A. Watson, A. W. Winterberg, and J. C. Frieso, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Tho public press, which is recognised as the molder of public sentiment and the great educator of the masses, is daily publishing charges of fraud in the distribution of pensions, and criticisms of the whole pension system, which are without foundation in fact, and which are detrimental to the interests of all ex-Union soldiers, and calculated to lower them in the estimation of the people, and to lessen that feeling of patriotism with which their deeds of heroism and valor naturally inspire the young and rising generation; and, Whereas, these charges, originating in the money centers of the East, are taken up and echoed by the subdued but unreconstructed rebels of the South, and re-echoed and augmented by the soldier hating demagogues of the North, losing nothing of their slanderous virulence by being oft-repeated; therefore be it , Resolved, By the ex-Union soldiers and sailors ot Edinburg and vicinity, in mass meeting assembled, that we most emphatically deny the right of the aforesaid caluminators to judge of our right to draw pensions, that being granted to us by law, passed upon by educated and competent medical examiners, and borne out and corroborated by honorable records in the War Department, which is something not possessed by the cowardly calumniators who, through the medium of the public press, traduce soldiers who drank fire at Gettysburg, waded through blood in the Wilderness, who tasted hell at Fort Donaldson and Pittsburg Landing, who scaled the rocks at Lookout Mountain or grappled bloody handed with death anywhere from Nashville to Richmond, or rotted and starved in the rebel prison pens of Saulsbury, Libby or Andersonville, and left arms, legs and health among the debris of the battlefields. Resolved, That, while we have implicit confidence in the honor and honesty of those in authority, the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of Pensions, and believe that a grateful government, whose existence to-day is due wholly to the valient services of her citizen soldiery, will continue to do justice to us all, and that our rights will be held sacred, we can but feel that our self-respect is wounded, our manhood assailed, ourselves and our families insulted, by the slanderous utterances promulgated by the public press, and we hereby refute, deny and pronounce those utterances wholly maliciously and unqualifiedly false. Resolved, That the public press throughout the land be requested to desist from the publication of supposed cases of fraud against the pension laws until they have positive evidence that such fraud exists, in which case we pledge ourselves by all the means in our power to assist in seeking out and bringing to justice all such offenders against a government we helped to save. Resolved, That it is upmanly, disloyal and unpatriotic tor those who stayed at home during the “late unpleasantness” and sheltered themselves behind our battle lines and heaped up wealth/or for those unborn or too young for the service to criticise or malign those who upheld our Country’s honor and preserved her institutions and rendered

it possible for all to walk under the prptection of the Stars and Stripes, only within the confines of our own land, but in any country on the habitable globe. The closing resolutions requests that comrades throughout the Union meet, and give expression to their views on the subject, and that newspaper men everywhere, friendly to the soldiers whose achievements made a free press and a free speech possible, bo requested to copy and circulate. THE FAIR OFFICERS ELECTED. Every Township l>. Adittns County Represented->-Nnnios of tho Officers and Directors. The Democrat, according to the promise made a few weeks since, regards to publishing tho 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 Committee ok The Democrat,”, was Four Hundred and Fifty-six. This 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. Treasured—Charles True. Secretary X-John W. Tyndall. Directors. Root —FRihk Gideon. Uniony-Frank Barger. Preble-—Louis Fruchte. Kirkland—Joshua Bright. „ Michael Miller, Washington, - Q Trfcker St. Mary’s—Davis Dailey. Blue Creek—J. S. Beatty. Monroe —-Peter Ashbaucher. French—Jonas Neuenscwander. Hartford —L. 0. Bears. Wabash-Martin 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 ot the Democrat that they are all No. 1. They might also be termed miscellaneous people, By this we mean that they represent many banches of industry,—, something very necessary to have m well organized Fair Associations. It has been deemed advisable 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 be 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. We keep a complete line of Drugs, all descriptions, and at prices to suit. We solicit a share of your patronage. Yager Bros.
