Second street should be commenced as soon as the improvement of Second street with brick is inaugurated. Let our City Fathers not overlook this economic suggestion. •

The abolition of the National banks and the issue of all money direct from the Treasury of the United States would do away with the necessity for holding out of use vast sums in the form of reserve funds. Mr. Cleveland may not be a politician, but he knows how to play politics on occasions. The White appointment is a case in point. Ihere must have been *a great politician somewhere in the earlier generations of the Cleveland ...family, and blood will tell. It has been conclusively proved that the A. P. A. societies of Toledo have 3,000 Winchester rifles in stock. If the weapons are loaded the A. P. A.’s of Toledo should blow in the muzzles. That is the best use they can make of their armory. IrGalusha Grow’s majority keeps on Growing Pennsylvania can lay claim to the nearest approach to a nonpartisan election ever held in this country. It is clear that the . Pennsylvania Democrats were fishing with a bob and sinker on election day. In another place of the Democrat will be found an article from Wheaton College, offering inducements to young men of our County ’ who will interest themselves in public orations. A two years course will be given free to any one of oui young students producing the best oration at our Agricultural Fair thii Fall. Read it.

- BRIGHTENING IIP. Every day brings news of the starting up of manufactories in different parts of the country that have not been in operation for months. At the first warning of financial stringency which cnm< nearly a year ago large numbers ol manufactories shut down. Some ol them did it upon sound business principles, others made the general i depression an excuse for stopping their works at a time when they had large stocks on hand for which there was immediate demand. A few stopped as a means of making political capital against some of the measures, especially the Wilson bill, which the Democratic Congress was known to have in view. Whatever the cause may have been it now seems plain that most , I of these manufacturing concerns made a mistake. The stocks were not so large as was supposed and the demand of a few months ex- , hausted them. i From the best commercial an- 1 thorities in the country it is now i learned that almost every variety i of manufactured products is low in , stock and to meet the demands which is expected to come with the spring months, factories will be compelled to put their capacity to the test. It would have been profitable considering present conditions ' if the most of them had continued running during all the months in which they were idle. ■ Having discovered that there will be a market for their products as fast as they can be turned out, many . manufactories have started upon full time, and others are preparing to do so. We have heard of several large concerns whose orders ahead are already sufficient to keep them busy for months to come. These indications are gratifying because they prove that the commercial health of the country is normal and can only be impaired by the mistakes or failures of Congress. If the Wilson bill is passed by the Senate with any degree of promptness it will greatly encourage all classes and avocations to redoubled activity. Not tnat the direct results of the change will be felt immediately—the effects of a radical change in governmental policy can not be realized in a day or in a month—but it will be an assurance that the party in power is capable of keeping its pledges and that there is no disposition on the part of our law makers to juggle with the people. On the whole the outlook for better times seems fairly promising. Let us rejoice. The London Financial News says that unless England joins with the other nations of the world in a movement to establish universal bi-metalism, the whole fabric of English commerce will be destroyed. In euchre no player should try to play it alone without both bowers , and the ace. A Democratic Presii dent should call on his partners for assistance. They hold trumps, and he cannot possibly hold a club suit strong enough to win without them.

Chaska, the Sioux Indian married by Miss Cora Belle, Fellows some years ago, has eloped from Yankton with a squaw. Mrs. Chaska has returned to civilization with her papooses. Either the South Dakota divorce laws are responsible or the Indian problem is far from settlement. s. - - 1 There is a possibility of Decatur getting what Bluffton now possesses in the Railroad Switch Yards. The Clover Leaf people are not stuck on Bluffton only so far as they are compelled to be, and if our citizens put on their hustling garments and donate a sufficient amount of ground for switch yard purposes, there is no doubt about us getting whatever benefit such a change would bring. Let there be an investigation made of the situation by those of our people who feel interested in this matter. Events now stirring the blood of the great Democratic masses are too momentuous to admit of a. hearing for anybody’s personal, grievances. The battle-cry of Freedom has been sounded. The flag of Democracy has been advanced to the front of the reform hosts; individuals with selfish ends count for nothing. The • sore heads must throw away their vinegar, apply the arnica of party i loyalty and party discipline vigori ously and take their places- in the t ranks or the g’rand army of reform t wills weep by on its victorious march i leaving them to be gathered in by the enemy.

The best money is that which pays all debts witllout paying a cent of tribute to the usurers. Legal tender “receivable” paper notes is that kind of monsy. Tint fabric of credit is too narrow in the waist and too top-heavy. The nations of the world are getting ready to “make a statement” and scale down the debts to a gold basis. * The seignorage bill ought Jto be passed amt promptly. But will afford only temporary relief. It will add but §55,000,000 to our circulation or a little more than the Sherman law added every year. As a legislator General Sickles is ■ most decidedly b back number. He was a useful man in his time and no one will question the fact that he was a gallant soldier. But he is out of date. Now that the postotlice of Deca tur is under Democratic management, why not throw open or leave unlocked the doors of that institution on Sabbath and other days for the accommodation ot people who have lock-boxes or those who have mail to deposit. There is no single feature of the economic system of the world that could be abolished with such universal advantage as Banks. There are no details of legitimate banking business that could not be better executed Dy the people through their government than by greedy private corporations. The only act of the extra session of the Colorado Legislature to date is the transfer of other funds to the fund for the payment of legislators. The State Treasurer was moved to unusal exertion to make the transfer before an injunction could be served upon him. Digging for gold in Colorado is like digging for ground hogs in New Hampshire. They must have it to keep up the family. Under Democratic rule every Democrat cannot have an office but every man, woman and child is to have profitable employment and plenty to eat and wear. Democratic rule—the first in 34 years—is to put all business and industrial pursuits on a paying basis by giving the fruits of labor to those whose labor produces them, unvexed by tribute to privileged classes. A vast amount ot fruitless disputation might be spared it people could only get it into their heads that the present business depression extends over the whole civilized world, and is actually felt more severely in many countries than it has been in our own. It is probably the most expensive and the most searching period of liquidation that has ever been known, becausexthe mutual dependence of nations grows continually more intimate, and a collapse in such a far away Australia, for example, now affects us as it never could have affected us a generation ago.—Ft. Wayne Sentinal. —— m.—i..i —

What a miserable sham and fraud is the pretense that the gold reserve keeps up the credit of the United States Treasury notes. It is their legal tender qualities that makes them preferable to gold. Suppose two men with each a $lO greenback in his hand start for the Court House to pay thefr taxes.. “Hold on,” says A. “I must go to the bank and redeem my note in gold before I go to the tax collector’s office.” “You’re a crank,” says B. “Your note is guaranteed to be receivable for taxes and all other debts by Uncle Sam.” And crank he would be. Let our City, .Council at their earliest convenience take up the idea of having a “lookout” stationed at the several crossings of our streets over railroad tracks. Several accidents have occurred during recent years to parties attempting to walk or drive across the railroad tracks in our city when trains were approaching or leaving the stations. J No later than last Sabbath a serious accident was averted through the alertness of a gentleman of our city who saw the approach of a westbound passenger train and signaled the occupant of a vehicle who was about to drive qver the C. &E. ; track, and evemtlien had it not been- ; for the engineer reversing his machi inery, a general killing and mangling would have taken place. By all means let the City Council take • action at once, and notifiy the railroad companies . that a “lookout” .must be placed at these main crossings in our city for protection of I life and property.

AR< IIHISIIOI> irelanh on THE CATHOLIC CIH RtH. We take pleasure in publishing the following very able saying of Bishop Ireland, of Ndw York, at SL Paul, Minnesota, Sunday regards the much munched-over problem N os the A. P. A’s. It is worm the scrtiHuy <>f every reader of the Democrat, inasmuch as it comes from'one of the most learned men of Catholic church. St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 25- Arch bishyp Ireland preached to-day in tlje Cathedral at St. Paul on “The Cafholic Church of America.” Ho sattl the church under lhe constitu4ion had all lhe rights and pnviledges whiph she desired. Ihe common liberty of the country was hers, and that was all sufficient. The great mass of the people of America, he added, were loyal to the letter and spirit of the constitution and allowed thd rights ot Catholics. Those who refused them the rights were few, and they should not be heeded. Some Catholics do harm to the Catholic church by their imprudent methods of defending her. The opposition of an existing anti-Catholic party today would soon die out if it were not noticed. Catholic papers, in crying out so loudly against it, give to it importance anff tire the country. It looks as if Catholics were glad to have a fight on their hands. Politics has much to do no less with the defense than with the attack, and a supreme effort must be made by all devoted Catholics to keep the church from entangling alliances, but they must not bring the church with them to this or that party. No one political party in the country to-day owns or can lay claim to alliance with the church if it were the alley of one special party. Catholics belong to all parties, and it is well that this is the case. When American citizens vote their basis of decision must be, not the religion of the candidate, but his citizenship and his personal fitness tor office. To put in office a man because he is a protestant is wrong; to put a man in office because he is a Catholic is wrong. The constitution which gives the suffrage does not consider a man’s religion, but a man’s honesty and ability, The Archbishop deprecated the custom of Catholic papers of boasting when a Catholic receives political honors. We should rejoice when a good man receives honor. Protestants and Catholics should all become thorough Americans in their political acts and their relations with one another and then there would be no religious discord in the land. There is no opposition in-America to the political and social rights of Catholics that Catholics need to notice, and there never will be.—Chicago Record, Feb. 26. THE CHANGE WE NEED. ' Without violating the whole theory of representative government, the House of Representatives cannot make rules which will give the Speaker or a committee chairman the power of a party caucus. For the passage or failure of the seign-iorage bill the Democratic majority must take the responsibility. The Eastern Democrats who will not vote can explain to their constituents and the Western Democrats who do vote can do the same. The embarassed situation of the bill only further strengthens the feeling that in the next National Convention Western and Southern Democrats must nominate their own men. Our end of the party must have the administration’s influence when the next four years begin. Whatever obstruction within the party there is to do, the Eastern men can then do, with nothing but the power of their own votes to aid them.—St. Louis Republic. Wheaton College offers throughany Agricultural Society, a two year scholarship as a prize for the best oration to be delivered at the Fair in 1894, on the following conditions: 1.
