The new postmaster at Dundee Michigan, among his other qualifications has a mustache 32 inches from tip to tip. Bluffton has the local freight division of the Clover Leaf Road. Our people stood on the seat of their pants too long. Tin Plate works at Ellwood have closed, indefinitely. They want more tariff and less wages. They refuse to sign the scale of the Amalgamated Association. A boy with three hands has been born out west. What an admirable Fourth Assistant Postmaster General he would make if he were a few years older. A Quartette of gentlemen of more than ordinary local reputations during last Fall’s- campaign, were seen in close conflab nearly all day last Saturday. That’s right, gentlemen, forget and forgive. When talking of Gravel Roads, remember that we have plenty of gravel. No excuse on that account. Gravel in abundance and of the verv best quality is now found in this County. A petition is in circulation asking for the graveling of the road leading west from town past the Maplewood Cemetery. That it will be built, there is no doubt. It is in the hands of men who will push it to completion at once and without fail. ' \ ‘ . i- . WitHiN the next month the hitching posts on the east and south sides of the Court square will be removed. Goshen Democrat. Other towns and cities of opr size “act upon” that which is an eye-sore and nuisance! Why not Decatur? Montana has a sheriff who feeds hie prisoners mince pies-.. Ot course a sheriff must be given some discretionary power in dealing with the hardened characters placed under bis control, but to inflict the mincepie torture would seem to be a species of cruelty that calls for prompt legal intervention. yb — 1 -■—= — It has come to light that some of the cowboy racers, and among them the winner, did a good deal of their racing while sound asleep in a hack with their horses trotting pa-1 tiently along in the rear. They ' worked this trick by night and it is apparent to any fair-minded man that the prizes should be given to the horses and not to the men. John Sherman is preparing a I speech which is to be the Republican financial keynote. He will undertake to prove that the Denis- , crats had a majority in IS9o,and ] passed, approved and put into effect t the Sherman act.

No doubt the company got a tip that our people were going to perform that work themselves. o ' Some of the Cincinnati bankers attribute existing financial evils to existing tariff laws. If this feeling e is widespread in Ohio, what is tobe- [ come of Mr. McKinley? g There is still abundance of promise of excursion rates to the World’s Fair, the date now set being the , 10th of July. It is hardly .worth j while, however, for those who have made their arrangements to go before that date to wait. e The judicial decision that a dog. t * ° may be levied upon for a debt ought ' to relieve the financial stringency. If there is anything in an old proverb, and Towser is good collateral the colored population of the coun--1 try alone enjoys a surplus of several ! billion dollars. Jenness-Miller says the proper measurements for a perfect figure of a girl of twenty years, are as fol- • lows: Age, 20; hight, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 4| inches; weight, 118 to 12& pounds; bust, 32A to •.3 inches: I waist, 21 to 22 inches; bust over biceps, 41 to 42 inchet; ankle, 6} to 7 inches; shoe size, 34. The sugar bounty of two cents a pound has increased the entire output of domestic sugar to some extent. The largest increase was in maple sugar, which rose from 145,000 pounds last year, to several million pounds during the season just closed; one establishment in Vermont having reported a total production of 4,750,762 pounds. One of the scientific sharps has announced that if the funny little bean from which castor oil is squeezed be grown around the windows and doors of dwellings instead of hop vines, hollyhocks, burdocks, fennel or sunflowers, flies will keep so far away that you can’t hear one buzz. The small boy will easily believe this. Nothing is more certain than death and the income tax. A little taxation of wealth and a little relief for the family are correlated ideas which have come to stay. Tariff reform, a bimetallic currency and an inconie tax will satisfy the peo. pie —an d nothing short of all three will sat isfy them. Politicians, take notice.

Congress Must Do Its Duty. < -- • ■ ■ ■ Im , Mr. Cleveland has called Congress together in extra session and has fixed the date more thnn a month earlier than lie bad intended. The gravity of the situation must have appeared to have deepened into peril. He is not a man to change a plan for slight reasons, nor.ono to be easily moved to apprehension. Up to the now uncertainty injected into our monetary system by the sudden order of the India Council he had been fixed in the determination to wait until the middle of September. The reversal of that decision is the consequence of his own judgment of the crises and of the universal appeal of business interests. With the frankness that has come to be understood as his way of meeting all emergencies, he has named the cause of his proclamation and has indicated what the interests of the country demand of the legislative power. Unwise laws have instituted a financial policy which must be changed. The most conspicuous mischievous is the Sherman act, but it is not alone. Congress has a duty to perform which begins but does not end with a stoppage of the coinage of silver bullion with gold notes. Convened with such impressiveness and with every occupation in the country looking anxiously, for relief, Congress will not disappoint the people. It wilt meet iu the sober, thoughtful spirit of the American character when before an urgent duty. Patriotism will arise above party, faction and fanaticism. The grave situation will have the grave thought of every member. The Sherman act will go. Last Monday, July 3d, was the day set apart by the last Legislature of this State for the payment into the various County Treasures of all moneys held by School Corporations unexpended from the State tuition revenues. Trustees and School Boards in the different Counties and Cities have yearly received their apportionments in June and January, but have heretofore retained that portion remaining unexpended. By the new law they are compelled to settle with the State on the first Monday in July and pay over every dollar, —excepting a standing fund of SIOO, which each official is allowed for current expenses. For the benefit of those who are unfamiliar as to the portion due State, we will say that, “If a School corporation has 100 children upon the State per capita for June is $1.65 per head, and for January ¥1.75. At this rate the school tin tion revenue paid by the State for the year 1892 is £3.42. Out of this amount the corporation expends $l4O, for the maintainance of the Schools, leaving a balance of $202, of this amount SIOO, is retained and the sum of $202 should be returned to the State. Our neighbor, the Huntington Democrat is getting in line with the great papers of the n?.t and now wears a SIO,OOO suit. alleged that the Democrat so v> .ecked the reputation (?) of a married man and a maiden lady of that city;that the man in the case asks that he be reimbursed iff the modest sum above written.

“Wiiy don’t you say more about our Fair and our Gravel Roads,” remarked a Very prominent gentleman to us a few days ago. Our reply was that we thought that the amount of talk made in the Democrat during the past year, on these questions, would have been sufficient to produce a salutary effect. But it seems not. However, as our mission on earth in good-doing never ceases, we again appeal to our People and ask them to give these ters a more thorough and deserving study. That the time is not far distant when our roads will again be what they are six months in the year, very muddy the oldest inhabitant will not dispute. If roadbuilding in Adams County had just commenced to be talked of by our farmers and others, there might be some excuse for putting off this very necessary project, until an acquaintance with the cost <tc. could be formed. But such is not the case. The amount of money that it will cost to build these roads, our people have already been made familiar with. That they are reasonable none can dispute. Whatever is inteuted to be done m this matter this year*, ought very soon to be conjmenced. As to the Fair, our people have been kept posted all along as to what was being done. Nothing new has taken place since the meeting of the Officers and Directors at the Court House on the 9th of June. The assurance given by the. Commissioners to the Committee at that time regards to selling the old grounds and applying the money to purchasing larger tract, for Fair holding purposes, the Commissioners have gone back on their promise. We are sorry that matters on the above two important questions are in such a tangled condition, and until an effort by our people is made to undo them, they will remain so. A great amount of one-sided kicking is being done on account of Time kept by the Court House Clock. The laboring classes of the city are objecting most stenuously at the adoption of Standard Time. Their objections are based on the theory that Sun time is what all of the factories and other works of"lhe city are run by, and therefore would prefer a return to that Time. As the majority of our*laboring classes depend upon the Court House clock for their Time in commencing and quiting work, we are of the opinion that their wishes should be gratified, and the old Time again hung out. At Carthage, 111., there has been an ordinance passed that prohibits courting in the public parks. No more farcical display o£ legislative genius could be conceived. The combined armies of the earth would find it difficult to enforce such an order. The young people of a city meet in the public parks and do no courting? A cheap little ordinance set up as a barrier to the irresistible shafts of Cupid? The thing is preposterous. Had the city fathers wanted to boom the'.matrimonial market they could not have devised a more effective method of doing so. The South Carolina official jug made its appearance Saturday. It is understood to be closely related to the unofficial jug which made its appearance some time ago.

Jutt Like Harrison. x Mr. Harrison applies a wholly irrelevant test tg the legislation of the extra session, lie doubts whether Congress will repeal the Sherman act, because he is sure that Congress- . men would not have done as much for him. There is all the difference imaginable. It is a different Con- ■ gross. Betv. n Cleveland and him is the gulf which divides the plain and confidence breeding simplicity ; 'bC.thc sincere man from i!o> devious ■ nniiKchilling ways of the schemer. ■ Mr. \llarnson can ant have missed “ sceink that the 1 !?.< ' '.OOO voters ■ did niorcUllteUyear 10. ( ' v, Und • than they did for him, and more L than they had done when they did • not know him so well. His test is 1 worthless, but if it were accepted s it would offer an excellent prospect • lor a rush to repeal the law. Duy--1 ing the last two years of his term • the best Republicans in Congress t seemed to smile most when they • were doing what Mr. Harrison dis- • liked. The disposition everywhere ■ is to undo v,bat bis administration • did. If this Congress, Democratic ■ in both OodijDF, would do everything i for Cleveland it would not do for Harrison, legislation would be as i rapid as it was when Henry Clay < was Speaker oT the House. The “Fourth” in Decatur* was Conducted in strict seeping with previous plans and specifications. There was but one program on tap, and that being of the cold water kind, every body remained perpendicularly perpendicular. The march ■ to Zimmerman’s Grove by the Sun-day-School children was the only noteworthy change from the ordinary that occurred on our streets. Many of our people went to other towns and cities where attractions were more varied and numerous, and thereby found enjoyments not down on our program. • WyEN a half dozen London bankers can meet in their back parlors and send a telegram that nntnedi ately adds 33 1-3 per cent to the value of the world’s stock of gold coin, it may well be asked if the time has not arrived for the people of the world to fr £- e themselves from the despotism of the money —— I„■ ,l—.i ■■ Il 1 IT’ ' . power. The purging of the pension rolls is of such frequent mention in not a few newspapers of the country, that one would wonder if not that office would soon be dropped, thereby allowing Hoke Smith and a few others a rest. Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, went into the liquor business like an oid hand. He opened up on Saturday to catch the rural trade and supply the demand for Sunday. -J" . T— —— If the price of'silver reduces the cost of souvenier spoons, the slump will not bo wholly without its recompense to the man whose lady friends h ive a mania for collecting portable property of this sort. Nobody has yet called on James B. Weaver to solve the financial problem. Mr. Vv eaver to have slid into obscurity when lie closed his omlet campaign in the i South last fall.
