All subscriptions not pan' durlhg the Jc.tr will bo charged at the rate of"'h Office in Democrat Building east side of Soc- i ond Street-ground Hoot | The bherman law is what is hart- , ing the people. Repeal it. - By ail means, Mr. Street Commissioners, don't overlook the alleys! They are in a worse condition than the streets. It has cost South Corolina *150,000 to get ready for her state saloons, and not a soul has had a drink yet. The plate glass trust offers a point for genuine tariff reform. Free plate glass should be a watchword in the next congress. A Boston woman has appeared on her bicycle in 1 urkish trousers, blouse and jacket. The future is pregnant with awful possibilities. The wish of the people of Adams County is that the Commissioners sell the old Fair Grounds and apply the money on new grounds. Will they do it? It isjjpt necessary to defer the sale of the Fair Grounds for any length off time. Let the Commissioners offer them at public sale, and they will soon get buyers. Let the Street Improvements of our City be greater this year than any previous effort. If the supervision of this work is too laborious for one man, appoint an assistant. Our street and alleys shouldbe improved without fail. Will there be an effort made by those in power to improve Second street from Monroe street to the old Elm Tree, during 1893? If so, let the alleys adjoining this street on the east and west sides, be favored with the boulders that now adorn this street. We would like to see an attempt made, in Decatur, at putting down brick for street purposes! The old fogy ideas of some of our' citizens, “that we didn't have them forty years ago, and don’t need them now,” won’t tally in this progressive age. We need these changes and why.,not make them!j It is to be observed as a matter of significance that the legal tender treasury notes known as greenbacks are accepted by the people everywhere as the old reliable people’s currency always good for a dollar’s worth of anything that a man wants to buy or to pay a dollar that any man owes. • Now that the weather is favorable, why not commence '.he work of putting our alleys in shape so as to have- them in a passable condition when the muddy season arrives! The “Arkansaw” idea of puttiugroff matters should not be practiced by our people. The Court House Clock has our sympathy for the many unkind and untimely remarks made by our people during the past week, for. not keeping correct time. Possibly if some of these calumniators were elevated as loftily as the aforesaid clock, they wouldn’t keep time either 1 With a mercury at 90 degrees in the • shade! There are several young hoodlums about town who have been . caught transacting a business not on the books, and who have no visi-1 ble means of support, who might i e given an opportunity of taking a wallk out of town. It our police . can catch on to these people and dispense with their presence, there ’ may be a white feather added to j their present plumage. ‘ t

\ WHAT EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE WORLD'S FAIR SAY. On the opening of the World’s Fair, May Ist, while many of the Exposition Buildmgs were in an entirely satisfactory 'condition, exbib- [ its were incomplete and the work lof instalation had for various rea. | sons been very much retarded. Since ' that date, the Exposition authorities ( have accomplished an immense i amount of work in Jackson Park, | ami the buildings of the great deI partments are complete. Streets I and walks are in perfect condition; I exhibits from foreign countries and the several states andj territories have been received in large numbers and are practically installed, the pavilions, entrances, booths, etc., are elaborate and beautiful ami the vis itor finds himself in a bewildering maze of exhibits and surrounded on all sides with a display of surpassing magnificence and. beauty. In brief, the world has never seen before a collection approaching it in value, interest and educational features. Forty states and territories have contributed j>(»,02D,850 for the erection of the buildings and in aid of exhibitors, and there has been raised for the purpose of the Exposition, exclusive of gate receipts, interest, and the above amount from the States, $26,904,264,55. The conveniences afforded for quick and easy communication from one part of the grounds to another, by the Intramural Railway, electric launches, and gondolas are excellent, and invalids and others can be transported through the grounds and buildings in rolling chairs in the most comfortable manner. The Midway Plaisance containsfeatures novel and interesting—a representation of nations of the globe of surpassing interest. We unhesitatingly affirm that the exhibits, the buildings of the Exposition, State, Territorial and Foreign will make a visit to Chicago the event of your life. The individual exhibits in the various departments from the several states and territories' of the United-States and Foreign countries are of wonderful interest and value, and illustrate in a remarkable manner, the growth of the arts, sciences and manufactures. Individual exhibitors, at very great expense and sacrifice, have placed in the Exposition buildings, evidences of industry, skill and ingenuity, creditable in the highest degree to the artisans, manufacturers and agriculturists of the United States. The reports industriously circulated that extortion of every nature prevails in Chicago and on the Fair Grounds we emphatically deny from personal experience. In numerous restaurants in Jackson Park, the prices are no higher than are charged for the same variety and quality of food in other cities of the Uniop. Comfortable rooms convenient to the Park can be secured at reasonable rates by the day or week, with or without boardj and board can readily be obtained at rates not excessive. It is tbe opinjon generally expressed by those who have visited the Fair that they were agreeably surprised not only in the completeness, variety and extent of the exhibits but in the reasonable charge for rpora and hoard. The educational features of the I’air and the evidences of wonderful progress made in' this country since its discovery are of sufficient importance to incite all to see the Exposition. It - ah opportunity never bejoip g-ven to our people and probably never will be again. A single admirsion fee of fifty cents admits to th<- Grounds and to ail the Exposition Buildings proper. We have presented' fairly and truthfully the condition of affairs at the Exposition. A. B. Fakqgee, Executive officer, Pennsylvania l , President of Association. J. K. Gwyn'n , Jixegutive Officer, Missouri, Executive Commissioner. B. F. Havens, Executive Officer.

, . .. .... The Jay county Republican came to our office Thursday last week. There must bo something wrong with Van or some of the boys. This is the first time that it camo to us before Sunday or Monday for the last yean Wo are glad to know that they, like Rip Van W., have been aroused. Roby, this State, is getting to be quite a resort for prize fighters and prize fighting. If Gov. Matthews is not power enough to suppress further proceedings in that line, we would respectfully intimate that a collection of native White Caps be sent there io try their hand. In either case it would be a Kilkeny Cal affair, and odd’s the difference who got the worst of it. Why not the business portion of our citizens get up a petition urging the County Commissioners to sell the old Fair Grounds and apply the money therefrom to purchasing new grounds. Every citizen in Decatur is interested in this affair, and especially so is the merchant. Some one get up the petition and pass it around. The idea that some people of our city have advanced regards to donating the old Fair Grounds to some manufacturing establishment that would come here and open up business, is all “bosh.” The County’s property cannot be given away to any private enterprise. If citizens of Decatur are of such liberal and pushing dispositions as to want to contribute the above grounds, let them buy them! What is worth doing, is also worth commencing! Therefore let the County Commissioners put on the market the old Fair Grounds, and let it be sold. This will not only be carrying out the wish of the people of Adams County, but it will also be the means of improving Decatur, which as it is only presents an eye-sore to the community at large. Let there be action taken on this important matter at once! • ■■ Let there be light of some kind thrown on the Commissioners of Adams County Hereby they may see their way m selling the old Fair Grounds. The people are becoming a little restless in this matter and would like very much to know what hind of medicine they will have to swallow before a cure is pronounced. Let there be light, &c. ——— ‘a The New York and New England bankers speak of the $500,000,000 of silver in the Treasury as if it were a curse to the country. It is not surprising that they view this accumulation of wealth by the people of the United States with so much hatred for the reason that it has prevented their conspiracy to wreck the Treasury from being successful. More than that it has prevented the from contracting the currency by that amount. Thepeople understand the situation thoroughly. They know that - the United States Treasury was never as rich as it is to-day. They know that there are in silver and gold now stored in the vaults of the Treasury nearly $700,000. and that there was never before so much money boarded by the people.

Indiana Soldier’s and Sailor’s Orphans’ Kniohtstown, Ind., June 1, 1893. It has been happily suggested by comrades visiting the Home, that an effort be made to place in the schools of the Home a museum of war relics, and that the thought be presented to the, “Old Soldiers” of our State. Very many interesting relics lie upon shelves and in drawers about our houses and arc rarely seen even by their owners. If they were placed in secure show cases in the schools of this Home, they would not only intensely delight the children in the study of that period of our history, but such a collection would entertain hundreds who annually visit the Home. Every assurance is given that such contributions would be guarded with great care. Comrade, will you interest yourself in this effort by bringing the matter before the public and asking the Comrades to send such relics as they may have and are willing to contribute. Names of donors should be very plainly written, and also any fact of interest concerning the article contributed.’ For every such gift this Home and every Comrade’s child within it, will make thankful acknowledgment. Very respectfully, A. 11. Graham, Sup’t. I. 8. and 8. O. Home. A New Insanity Dodge. The defense of insanity in murder cases has on occasions been carried to ridiculous lengths and the inevitable result has been to- lessen its force with the average jury. Expert evidence seems obtainable on the part of any murderer who finds his only hope of escaping the highest penalty of the law lies in convincing twelve of his peers that he was in a state of irresponsibility when be committed the crime. All sorts of symptoms, common enough in human experiences, are presented by the ready expert as indicative of insanity. Tfie jealousy, anger or cupidity that may have caused the commission of the crime are tortured into evidence tending to show that the person who committed it was temporary deprived of that reason which knows right from wrong and is the measure of responsibility in the eyes of the law. But this reliance upon the defense of insanity has found enlarged scope fpr the exercise of its ingenuity. ' In the famous Buchanan case of New York, one of the jurors was taken sick at the supper table in the Astor House on the night when the verdict was made up. lie had listened to all the evidence in the case, and had entered fully into the deliberations of the jury. 11#reached the same conclusion as the rest of them and joined in the -verdict. None of his fellow jurors bad any suspicion as to the unsoundness of his mind. There was in nothing his words or his actions which did not suggest a careful, conscientious, thinking man. Now the testimony of experts and the arguments of counsel are being used in an effort to secure a new trial forM. Buchanan on the claim that the juror in question was insane just long enough and just at the right time to invalidate the verdict. He reasoned on the case just as the other jurors did

and as the result of his reasoning arrived at precisely the same conclusion, but he was insane, say the experts, however competent and rational the other elevon men may have been. This will strike the observing public as going rather far in the use of insanity as a means of saving criminals. Pec pie Who Can't Cry. One of the most curious facts connected with madness is the utter absence of tears among the insane. Whatever form of madness, fears are conspicuous by absence, as much in the depression us melancholy or excitement of mania as in the utter apathy of dementia. If a patient in a lunatic asylum be discovered in tears it will be found that it is one beginning to recover, or an emotional outbreak in an epileptic who is scarcely truly insane; while actual insane persons appear |o have lost the power of weeping, it is only returning reason which can once more unloose the fountains of their tears. Even when a lunatic is telling one in fervid language how she has been deprived of her children, or the outrages that have been perpetrated on herself, her eye never even is moist. The ready gush of tears which accompanies the plaint of the sane woman contrasts strangely with the dry-eyed appeal of the talkatix'e lunatic. It would indeed seem that tears give relief to feelings which, when pent up, lead to madness. It is one of the privileges of reason to be able to weep. Amid all the misery of the insane they find no relief in tears. There yet remains ample time for getting in shape everything that will be necessary for the holding of a Fair in Decatur this Fall,-if the County Commissioners will do their part and procure the new grounds within the next forty days. The exhibits of almost every description that toe farmer will have in the wav of cereal and other products, will not be ready for exhibition until September. The buildings, fences, stalls and other structures can all be built in a very short space of time. The Officers and Directors of this Association are all workers in this undertaking, which they have demonstated by their coming together at the Court House, on the 9th ult. Their deliberations on this occasion was backed by the good people of the different townshipsm the County, and we therefore feel assured in saying that it the new grounds are procured within the time above mentioned, Adams County will have the best Fair in 1893 that she has ever had. * Last week we inquired through the Democrat as to what action, if any, had been taken by land owners and others along the River Road, in regard to the proposition made by Messrs. Coverdale and Robinson furnishing free gravel for the building of a pike road to Mile Creek. Up to the present writing we fail to be able to elucidate to our readers any news from that source. Will not some gentleman give us a “little bit” of inlormation on this subject?
