Office In Democrat Building, east ifldcof Sec ond Street—ground floor ORGANIZE. Since the opening of the spring campaign, there has been no little amount of political talk going the rounds. The best interests of the Democratic part) h s been discussed and made the subject in controversy by those who are interested in the perpetuation of a part) whose record cannot be smirched or defamed. The organization of a Young Men’s Democratic Club has been broached by several staunch young men of our City and County. The object of this organization is io classify the voters of the Democratic party into two separate bodies —the young and old. Those eligable to membership . in the Ydung Men’s Club are voters whose ages range from twenty-one to forty years; while those in the Old Men’s Club come in al forty years and upward. The Democrat heartily endorses the above idea, believing that much good to the party could be accomplished thereby- ~ Some time ago the Democrat made mention of the propriety and also the necessity of our Catholic cosgregation to select some suitable site for a new cemetery. Our motive for doing so was that other towns and cities in close proximity to us, had underwent an ordeal of this kind when dire necessity compelled iM whereas if proper iorcasts ot natural events would have been taken into consi'deration, a great amount of labor would have been spared in alter years. Since our first article on this subject was written and read by our patrons, a number of our most prominent citizens and members of the Catholic congregation have sanctioned our suggestion in this matter, and who are in favor of having the project materialized as early as possible. That the time is not far off when a change to new and more commodious grounds will have to be resorted to, needs no admonition on our part, ancFtherefore only make this timely suggestion. g- " ■ ‘ "S." .J! We have heard many arguments pro and con regards to roadbuilding in Adams County. The major portion of our farmers are in favor of good roads, but are a little bit lukewarm in pushing matters to a commencement. Last Saturday it was our fortune to be in company with several farmers of our county, when the roadrnaking project came up. Out of a party of four farmers, not one was in favor of the project, 'giving as their reason that it was . too expensive an undertaking. We sized the party up from an industrial standpoint, having' known them apd their habits these many years, and will say that the TIME taken up by them in coming to town and “munching” this matter of roadbualding over—converted , into cash—at one dollar a day, would build good pike roads along | their farms in a very few years. A Mi n icii’al Reform I.eague on a general scale was incorporated in ? Springfield, Illinois, last week. This organization is to be non-po-litical and non-partisan. Its chief b aim is to secure a business administration for Chicago. It will try and eliminate politics from the’ City Hall. Philanthropic matters will* also claim its attention, and charitE able work will be more systematized. The idea is backed by many very prominent people in the State, and B much good is expected therefrom, when put in operation. P The Fort Wayne Journal raves I because the Democratic State Committee selected the City of Indianapolis as the place to hold the coming State Convention. They go so g far as th call Marion county -‘Hog Marion” and all because their bargain and trade with Evansville was | too small a scheme to catch anyone. In their anger they call one Com- | mitteeman bad names, and tbreatm | to crush him if ever he seeks political preferment by the Slate. We 6 submit to the Journal the question, L how good is a man’s Democracy I who will »ot vote his conviction I within the party.

.. —— MUD THROWING. At the time the Township Committeemen assembled in our city a few weeks ago to tiv the time for holding our County Primary election: some delegate remarked that it would best to have a Short cam paign, in order to avoid a considerable amount of “Mud-throwing” by the candidates for the different offices. If reports are true there has not been a little of this mud-throw-ing business indulged in by some of the candidates. This may be a scheme on the part of some of the candidates to secure votes, but it is detrimental to the principles on which our primaries are based. At every session of circuit court in our city there can be ssen a number of “professional” jurymen in court room, ready to be enrolled as jurymen. This has been the custom of the “professionals” these many years, and many a plaintiff and defendant in suits in chancery has felt somewhat leary as to his getting a ghost of a chance w’ith these “professionals" in the box. Let there be a dissolution of the above custom. The Democratic State Committee organized by electing Thomas Taggart Chairman, jnd -Joseph Reiley Secretary. They fixed Wednesday, August 15th, as the day to nominate a Democratic State ticket. The Convention to be held at Indianapolis. The Democracy Is jubilant and will enter the flight with bright prospects. It has been wisely suggested by many of our citizens that some, arrangement be mtde’by our City Council to take care of and, accommodate the indigent wayfarer who perchance conies in our city without means of procuring a night’s lodging in our hotels or boarding houses. By attaching gas to the city prison room it could.be made comfortable and also very acceptable to the unfortunate who has no way of procuring better. What say the Council? (>i i: esteemed contemporary last week mentioned our theory ’ of protection because we said our mer chants should patronize home. You are correct when you say we bel : *ve in home protection. We practice it in advertising, none but nome merchants find space in our advertising columns. We believe in it, because that every man should look to the welfare of his own family and provide for them instead of giving to the millionaire monopo list a part of his earnings. Let home be provided for first then the ones that will amass a fortune in a few years by legalized robbery. Yes, we are tor home protection in preference to helping others. It is part of the conspiracy on the part of bosses of protected inindustries to destroy organized labor that leads them to reduce wages, not fear of operations of the Wilson bill although they make that the pretext. The Wilson bill hot only fully protects manufactures against differences in wages between the United States and foreign countries, but it gives raw material to the industries that manufactur five-sixths of the articles of universal consumption. The boss who reduces wages because of the Wilson bill is either ignorant or is consciously making an actual benefit to him the pretext for rob bing his employes. Wilson’s tinkered tariff bill will prove no more popular than Smith’s pension “reform” or Gresham's abstract justice.- -Decatur Journal. If the eminent editor and Rev.of the Journal will remember that at the polls in 1892 the people spoke in thundering tones, for a reform in tariff measures. I’rptectiye tariff having proven itself to be the grandest monopoly and fraud on the servitude of thjs country ever organized by party should and has met its death blow. The I people said in 1892 it must be done and they well knew the old and substantial Democratic party had the staminy to make good its pledge if placed m power -to do it. It is now half way through,-and the . D . C ■’ ( wisdom of a United States Senate would neveV think of crippleing the wishes of tliree-fourthS of the peot pie of this nation by even putting a stumbling block in the road of its passage. It is on the road, and must go because the people demand that it should go and the, powers that be cannot prevent. Such is Democracy and must be developed.

OVATION TO CHAIRMAN WILSON. Alter Ills {Npeech Kuthuala.Uc Memttera llolal lllmou Their Nhouldera. Mr. Wilson at once arose to close the debate- lie was greeted with groat cheers. He showed no signs of fatigue to which ho had been subjected. Ho was in fine voice and in animated spirits, which permitted him to open with humorous apd sarcastic reply to Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, and Mr. Dolliver of lowa, which were greatly relished by the House. Mr. Wilson said Mr. Reed had forsaken his usual course of congressional procedure and had recited a set oration with the old set praises of protection “sickhed o’er with the pale hue ot philosophy.” Turning to the subject in hand Mr. Wilson eloquently portrayed the advance of freedom. This bill, he said, was but one of those advances. No McKinley bill conld stem the advance of human progress. Great causes conld not be laughed or ridiculed away and the gentleman from Maine could not draw from his armory ot sarcasm and wit in order to stop the advance of this cause of lightening the burden of taxation. Mr. Wilson then related the story of the English herring merchant who wrote to Sir Robert Peel that he did not want free trade as to heras it would let in Norwegian herring, ring, but that on other goods he was a thorough free-trader. Mr. Wilson appealed,to his fellow Democrats not to allow any herring arguments to impede the movement toward the overthrow of the protective system. Referring to an income tax, Mr. Wilson said he had not wanted attached to this bill, but once so attached he supported it with all the loyalty which he could command. There was continuous applause as Mr. Wilson denied the charges of sectionalism in the bill. He said that the animated feeling of those who had framed this bill was to make this country one in which one man would not be taxed for another, one in which religion, science, culture and education would go hand m hand as the common untaxed heritage of every citizen. Mr. Wilson’s peroration aroused the Democrats and galleries to the highest pitch of enthusiam-and the demonstration which followed his last words has seldom been equaled in the House. The whole Democratic side rose to its feet, books and records were thrown into the air, cheer after cheer was given and the people in the galleries joined with voice and hands in the tribute. Before Mr. Wilson conld sit down three of the Democratic members, bubbling over with enthusiasm —Messrs. Johnson of Ohio, Tucker of West Virginia and Bryan of Nebraska—rushed up the aisle, and carried him in triumph to the rear of the hall where for ten minutes to the words of praise that were showered upon him. It was a remarkable demonstration in every respect. The Fort Wayne Journal of February Ist has the following to say on street improvements: Nothing enhances the value of property so much as a good street. Trace the gradual development in our residence streets from mud to cedar block, from cedar block to brick, and from brick to asphalt. The contrast in favor of asphalt is marked, the value Os property is marked, the beauty of the street is marked, travel on it is marked and since we have tested all it is noticeable that people are arriving at the conclusion that the best is the cheapest, and they are asking for it. Inasmuch as Decatur will undergo a~?marked improvement this year m street building, the above article will serve our people in their selection as to which kitfd of material would best serve them. It has been falsely reported by some unscrupulous politicians of our city, that the extent of the time allowed by law for the payment ot road-building is only two years. For the information of the unenlightened on this, subject and to head-off -this report, we will say that seven years is the limit pro vided for by law for the payment of these assessments; and the County Commissioners have the power to extend this time by the issuing of bonds to eight or ten years. i “ i Under protection the rule has 1 been that two or more men are 1 always found seeking one, job. UnJ der Free Trade the rule will be that i two or more jobs will always be I . seeking one man.

1 — Hihana cast eleven votes for the Wilson bill and eleven votes for the income tax amendment. The opponents of the income tax had counted Representative Hammond on their side without reason. Mr. Hammond' is a wealthy man and they took it for granted that he would vote for his own interests against paying an income tax. Bqt Mr. Hammond, as a true Democrat, voted the sentiment of his constituents and not to save himself from paying a tax on his own personal income, as the average Republican member would do. Indiana not only gave eleven votes for the tariff bill, but Indiana members have been conspicuous in the framing of the bill and in defending it on the floor. Representative Bynum helped to frame the bill in committee and while the bill w: s considered by sections, when dangerous amendments were offered by the Republicans to every paragraph, Messrs. Brookshire, Holm in, Cooper Bretz, Taylor, McNagny, Conn, Hammond and Martin were ever in their seats ready to sustain the Ways and Means Committee. M< Holman, although seventy years old, never missed a vote. Mr. Bynum, who had to be «»n th* alert every moment to def<- d 'he »cu> u of the Committee, comes out of the fight as fresh as when the great tariff fight began. Other members of the Committee, not having the physical endurance of Bynum, look the worse for the wear and tear of the long debate. Perhaps Mr. Brookshire was given the most tedious work of the debate. He had to act as speaker at all the night sessions, which, on some occasions, were attended by full galleries, but only a dozen members. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it will be referred to the Senate Committee on finance, ot which Senator Voorhees is at the head. It becomes the duty of an Indiana Senator to put the bill through the Senate. Senator Voorhees will succeed in doing this with the assistance of Messrs. Mills, Vest, Jones and other Democratic members of his Committee within six weeks. Much speculation is beitig indulged by the anti-income tax press on the success of the income tax feature of the bill in the Senate. Predictions are made that the Senate will run the bine pencil through the income tax amendment. The people can rely upon the Senate Committee to report the bill back with the income tax features and that on a vote to strike out the income clause there will be twelve against striking out. That the accumulated wealth of the country will pay a tax is a foregone conclusion. ' George W. Childs, editor, Philantropist and statesman is no more. His death occurred in the City of of Philadelphia last Friday. He was known all over the world as a friend to the poor and downtrodden. The printer’s home at Colorado Springs, Colorado, was one of his many donations, and the craft have lost an honored advisor and filend. Peace to his remains. Captain Wm. Meyeb, Jb., of Fort Wayne, who captained the Hendricks Club of that city on many rallys during the campaign of 1892, and who is favorably known by many of our people, is a candidate for Auditor if Allen county. The genial Billie’s portrait, in steel, supplemented the “Monday Morning Times” this week, and now adorns our gallery of of notable gentlemen. The Democratic party will not have a defensive campaign to make this year. The fight against protcction will be mdre aggressive than ever. .LU. J How ridiculous all attempts to make personal quarrels or personal disappointments an issue. Human rights must be leiognized. The National farmers’ Alliance, through some of its members, propose to change its plan of organization and become more than ever a secret society with grips and passwords and all that these imply. Should the change be made it will be the signal for the disappearance of the alliance from politics. American sentiment is too strong against any secret political organization for one ever to prove very influential. The alliance under the new plan may prove beneficial to the farmers and it may not. But if it seeks to carry on a political propoganda under lock and bolted doors it will meet with each opposition from the lest of the country as to j soon render it entirely ineffective. ■ f '
