HERE IS YOUR CHANCE FROM NOW ON TO THE IST OF JANUARY. 1895, YOU CAN HAVE THE DEMOCRAT FOR FIFTY CENTS. REMEMBER THIS IS THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC PAPER PUBLISHED IN ADAMS COUNTY. The Journal’s wool statements id last week’s issue are similar to tht statement on sugar made a few weeks ago,—ignorant and un founded. People know truths from falsehoods when they see them. Tht articles published in the Journal on sugar and wool are too untruthful for school boys to believe. Tom Pepper would blush to listen t< such stone’, let alone tell them. THE BAtEOT THE FREERAN'* WEAPON. There » no remedy for anarchistic violence except in the intelligent exercise«»( *.?ie ••allot by tht people in selecting their law makers and executive officials. Every as eassination, every dynamite bomb thrown, every wanton destruction of property only postpones that much longer such reforms in gov eminent as will make the conditions of life easier. The first requisite tc reform is order. Society can tolerate the evils we have much more con tentedly than to embrace the evib that sure to follow the use o' the assassin’s knife, the torch or tht bomb. Whojuses them is a traitoi to mankind. Who sells his vote is just as vile. Who encourages tht division of voters that think alik< on questions of reform is almost abad. When men get ready to brealt down all of the evils and oppressions growing out of the accumulation of vast fortunes they have the peace able weapon of the ballot at hand to accomplish their purpose and ii will never be accomplished in anj other way, the dreams of dreamers to the contrary notwithstanding.— Evansville Courier.

A number ot north Fifth streel — residents are kicking because a scheme is talked of wherein that • part of Fifth street lying north ol the old Close property is to be macadamized to the extent of only 20 feet, while that portion south of the Gloss property is to be 25 feet. We see no reason for this, as that part of Fifth street north of th& Gloss property is traveled as muffi as any other part thereof; besides this the City Park and Ward school building are properties which the city maintain*; and should have as extensive thoroughfares as private property.

Addresses of Hons. J. E. Hein. niHii and J. T. Nt range on Convention Day. Upon the call of Blackford county J. E. Heinaman said: Gentlemen of the Convention: 1 am not here to nominate a candidate, but I am here for the purpose of seconding the nomination of ot»r present Congressman, Hon. A. N. Martin. (Applause) With our candidate better known than in the past, better loved than ever before; with him we will raise our majority from 200 to 400. (Applause) You will pardon me fellow citizens if 1 recur to a little history. (Cries of “Go on.”) In 1888 the Republican party of the Eleventh Congressional District sought as thfir leader, not a man chosen for his ability, not a man chosen because he was worthy; but they brought out in the arena a man wearing the stars and stripes and bearing the unearned and unmerited title of Colonel; with no other breast plate, with no other 'armor; without merit to that title; with no other weapon in his hands save that which is known in com mon parlance a boodle, with this they threw down the glove and asked us to bring forth a yeoman to that steel. The Democratic party sought out a man not from title, but from merit. A man not a Colonel, not a Captain, but they looked over here tn Wells county and found a man who fought fol years, and Garned a musket in private ranks. Tney brought him forth and placed him in the field, with a Colonel, with his shoulder straps and stars. We brought him forth wearing tht breast plate of honor and intelligence. And carrying in his hand no other weapons than the sceptei of the Democratic party of the Eleventh Congressional District. In the conflict which ensued be tween the Colonel with his stripes and stars, and the private,the colonel went down in defeat and made to bite the earth. (Applause)

And now the Democrats of Blackford county long for a renewal of the contest with the titled Colonel who shall be vanquished by a pri vate soldier. (Applause) Then they took their leader, weak and worn aud limp, far away to the western land tor recuperation, took him off to Oklahoma; there to put him in training. They trained him six long years there and elsewhere, (applause) principally elsewhere. (Cheers and prolonged applause.) After six years of training they that sametitled colonel and we now bring forth the same yeoman with six years training in the balls of congress. A man who is a friend to every man, woman ind child, a friend to the working men, a friend to the people and a friend to the soldier. No truer soul ever graced the halls of congress, no truer heart rjver beat in an American, than that wh'fclFbeats in the bosom of A. M . Martin, (cheers and applause.) Clad tn the same armor as before, wearing the same breast plate of honor. Give us the same man with the <ame weapon aud the vote of the Eleventh Congressional District will be stronger for him and the Democratic party than ever before Give us this man and he will pro luce the same results that be produced in 1888 and the Democrats of “this Congressional District will again see the private soldier van qatsh the titled Colonel of Oklaho ma fame (cheers and prolonged ap plause.) Gentlemen of the Convention: I come not here to nominate a candidate on behalf of the people of Grant county, I am here for the purpose of supporting and seconding thee nomination of a man that we know has an unsmirched record; a n an who has a further quality oi having a reasonable degree ol modesty. (Applause.) We have his record and he has proven himself worthy of his support. He will be better than a Republican for the next two years at least, and that man is the Hon. A N. Martin. (Applause.) We have faith in him, but we have little faith tn the other man. It you want to forever relegate this man Steele to he rear, vote for A. N. Martin whom we can trust. (Cheers and Applause) I will just say this s o the people of this convention: “You do your duty and the people of the soldiers’ home will do theirs, and many will be the men like myself, who have ilways voted the Republican ticket 'hat will be with you next November. It is said that the Pacific railtoads are bankrupt and deserve the of the Government. No body has said that the original stockholders are bankrupt. The money advanced to the companies went somewhere, and if there is .nothing in the corporations to show for it, th are is p'.enty in California. 'New York and Boston.

THE DANDER! POINT. Although there is much distress amouiz the laboring classed all over the world their condition in the United States is more deplorable than any other country because there is so much less reason for it. Everything is abundant and there should be ample opportunity for every man and womag to earn a livelihood. The population is not overcrowded as in the west and south there are Immense areas of arable lands that are so sparcely settled as only to boast of an occasional village or hamlet. We have every variety of climate and soil and every resource of nature from which wealth and the conveniences and comforts of life are drawn. Moreover our population as a whole is composed of people who are not only willing but anxious to work. In some of the large cities a riff raff element of foreigners is to be found but that is to be expected in this age of easy and rapid transit. There ii no denying the fact that for many years past the* legislation of all countries has discriminated in favor of the powerful and the rich against those who are compelled to earn their bread in the sweat of their faces. Legislation which makes unjust discrimination may last fora while, Out sooner or later those in whose interest it has been established will discover that it was a mistake to labor for it. Wbat value can any kind of property have if society is hovering on the verge of momentary revolution. Do the men who have acquired their wealth through the unfair advantage of legislation never reflect? Some of them are not capable of thought. Can they not see in the growing intensity of popular impa tience as shown by gigantic strikes and organized bands of vagrants tramping over the country that the spirit of agrarianism is abroad and chat unless it is permanently checked in some way the end of law and order and consequently all property values cannot be far off? State militia may check it for , the moment, but it * ill spring up again as the noxious weed does when it is cut down. There must be a change m the whole philosophy of government if the results of civilization are to be continued. Laws that are equal in i heir effects will have to be enacted andj,he systems that have developed qlass distinction so rapidly within the last quarter of a century must be abolished. Humanity is as well disposed now as it ever was but as it grows more intelligent it is less inclined to brook the partialities of laws whose manifest pur pose is to benefit the few by laying tribute on the many.—E vansvllle Conner.

CRIME OF A FATHER. Hajfcutu the Throat of His Two Children aud Then Suicides. Butler, S. D., July 5.—K. B. Wnm, a Norwegian farmer, became so worried over crop prospects that he cut the throats of his two children, aged 6 and 8. threw them in a Well, ent his own throat and jumped in after them. WINANS DEAD. Michigan’s ex-Governor Succumbs to Heart Failure —The Attack Sudden. Hamburg. Mich., July s.—Ex-Gover-nor Winans died at his home here at 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon of heart disease. While the deceased had not been in good health for several months the attack which proved fatal was sudden and of short duration. Two physicians who spent the night with him had expressed grave fears of the outcome. Mr. Winans was born in New Yotk state in 1826 and was a resident of Michigan since 1884, with the exception of eight years spent in California in the 50s, since when he has been a prominent farmer of Livingston county. He had always been a radical Democrat and besides his term as governor in 1891 and 1892 served as a memos congress and in the state legislature. His administration as governor, while conservative and economical, gained the respect of all and the commendation of his constituency. Sued the Mayor For Damages, Joliet, Ills., July s.—Frank S. Allen, the ejected alderman of the Fifth ward, brought suit against Mayor Stassen, personally, for trespass on the person, asking damages to the amount of $5,000. The case is the result of Mayor Stassen enforcing the law and having Allen removed by force from Aiderman Patterson’s seat in the city council. Midwinter Fair Closed. San Francisco, July s.—The end of California’s midwinter fair came today, when San Francisco day and the nation*! holiday were jointly celebrated. Since opening day, Jan. 27, up to yesterday, the total attendance was 2,140,154, — ■ ■

"How To Keep Cool. There are many ways of keeping cool in hot weather besides getting under a shower bath or sleeping in the cellar. Common sense will keep,away many of the ills that come from excessively hot weather and science will do the rest. People have an idea, for example, that cotton is a good deal cooler than woo), when, as a matter of cold fact, the codest garment that one mav wear iff of wool. Cotton will he close to the skin, get wet and speedily become uncomfortable. A high grade of spun wool, of an extremely light weight will not slick to the skin and will thus leave room for to circulate between the steaming body and the product of the Jjlessed sheep. This .veins to be a funny idea, but it is full of truth. Another that science has helped to furnish and which is better understood by the people at large it that relating to the use qf certain colors in summer wear. It is a matter of general knowledge that black is not a suitable color tor the warm months. It attracts ithe heat and keeps it. Anyone who has worn a pair of patent leather shoes in the sunlight of summer and then changed to russet or white shoes under the same conditions of weather will remember the sense of relief that followed. So it is the wise thiffg to do to put away black and other very dark garments and adopt coat and trousers made of white. Such garments uot only look cooler, but, m point of fact, they are cooler. Some foolish people are deluded into the notion that ice water is cooling. It is, for the instant, bui the reaction is as hot as a Wyoming geyser. To cool the head, appl) a cool—not cold—damp towel to the veins that supply the crania) section with its blood. Keep quiet, keep your temper, eat lightly, and you may laugn al the antics of the sun.—St. Louis Republican.

JLlnn Grove Grint. Samuel Hill, of Briant is cutting meat at at the Bierie meat market here. Mrs. Catharine Ensley is putting a new roof on her spare dwelling house. The I. O. O. F. basket meeting was largely attended. However, the threatening weather kept many from a distance away. The audience was disappointed in Bro. M. A. Beal not being present to deliver the opening sermon, but with the ability that Bro. Chaiuness, of the M. E. church at Geneva, filled the place. Disappoints were forgotten. He discoursed on the funda mental principles of the Order, namely: Friendship, Love and Truth, which was received with marked attention and a rare treat to the fraternity. Bro. Ceamness was was followed by Bro. Samuel Biteman and others. The speaking was richly interspersed with vocal and instrumental music especially selected for tne occasion. The following officers of the I. O. O. F Lodge were installed • on Wednesday evening: Edwin Heller, N. G.: Wm. Wechter, V?G.; B. F. Kizer, Sec’y; Peter Hoffman, Treas., An lee cream festival was held at the school building on Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Christian church. Many of our people went to Bluffton to spend the Fourth. One of the attractions being the fleetness of man, in which our Billy was a prime factor. The Hartford Oil Co., have located tbeir first well on the land of Alexander Michaels, south Hartford, where operations will commence in a few days. If the sugar trust made threeeights of a cent profit pur pound daring the three years past, what will they make under the new or der of things? It’s a question in mathematics for a proper solution. —Decatur Journal. Read the papers and post yourself. Mr. Havemyer, president of the “sugar trust” and Mr. Searles, treasurer, in their testimony before the Senate committee, given under oath, said that their profits under the operation ot tile McKinley bill were four times* as great as they would be tinder the schedule m the proposed senate bill.—Huntington Herald.
