A Marvelous Showing. The U. S. Government, through the Agricultural Department, has been investigating the baking powders for the purpose of informing the public which was the purest, most economical and wholesome. The published report Royal Baking Powder to be a pure, healthful preparation, absolutely free from alum or any adulterant, and that it is greatly stronger in leavening power than any other baking powder. • Consumers should not let this valuable information, official and unprejudiced, go unheeded.

We have the Republicans on the run a t this time. Ex-President Harrison is out trying to place the blame of the hard times on some One els£ besides himself.

VESTED RIGHT. The following is the law adopted by Congress and signed by President Cleveland on December 21, 1893, and this was done on the motion of Congressman MartinUnder this law. suspension of pensions has been forbidden and every pensioner will be given a fair chance. Any pension heretofore or that may hereafter be granted to any applicant therefor under any law of the United States authorizing the granting and payment ot pensions, on application made and adjudicated upon, shall be deemed and held by all officers of the United States to be a vested right in the pensioner to that extent that payment tnereof shall noj.be withheld or suspended until,afterdue notice to the pensioner of not less than thirty days, the Commissioner of Pensions, after hearing all the evidence, shall de cide to annul, vacate, modify, or set aside the decision upon which such pension was granted. Such notice to pensioner must contain a full and true statement of any charges or allegations upon which such decision granting such pension shall be sought to be in any maner disturbed or modified. . & ' ‘ . The ex-President failed to say one word about the vast amount of money he allowed to be squandered while in officer The price oi clothing and underwear on which tariff was reduced speaks louder than aIL the Republican campaign orators. The weather yesterday was fine but the cold reception our Republican friends gave the ex-President showed that they blamed him for the hard times, and for once they are correct. Like one who is afraid to face the people in a joint discussion with his opponent, George W. Steele keeps well under cover. He stabs at Mr. Martin in the dark, but re fuses to meet him. Some,, of our Republican friends oh talking about the finances ot our country, but they fail to say anything about the $300,000,000 they squandered while in power, thereby bringing on the panic. While we were not at the Republican speech at the court house Wednesday evening, those that were there say that it was indecent stories such are told around the street conifers and bar rooms. We heard a Republican say last night he believed that God was on the side of Democracy, as there seemed to be such a life in business during the last month or two. Yes, God is with;us, and we are bound to win.

Tliere is no reason to be given for De morals to vote the Republican ticket except that he has resolved to stand by high tariff and protection (so-called.) The reform tariff, a tariff for revenue only, means business, business means money, and money means business. That is the Democratic policy. Republican protection means restricted protection less business, less money more trusts and more millionaires. That is the Republican policy. The Republicans ask what has the Democratic party done since they came into power? They have wrought wonders to the benefit of the people in the past eighteen months in the reformation just begun, and if the Democratic party stand shoulder to shoulder we will carry on the reformation until it is complete and phow to the people how they have been deluded by high tariff and protection till it has almost ruined' the best government the sun ever shone upon. The evidence of the revival is plain to be seen since the tariff reform law went into effect. More manufacturies and mills are now in motion on full time and ■ with full force throughout the eoun- ! try than ever before in its history. More men are employed in the factories, mills, shops and on the farm than ever before in the history of this country. As an evidence of the same the cities and towns are not thronged with gangs of idle men hunting work. No, but the factory men, the mill men and farmers with all others that give employment to laborers are now hunting the men to labor and paying fair prices for their work. This is the result of wise Democratic leg islation as it is and always has been the policy of the Democratic party to legislate and enact good and wholesome laws for the benefit of the entire people of this country and not tor a few favored classes. The people are beginning to realize that the old-time Democratic principles and policy is what they need to insure business and prosperity.

Ex-President Harrison seems to have been v troubled a out the hard times. It is true, the murderer and thief when conscience stricken talk ot their deeds and always find some one to blame for the same. Such seems to be the case with the ex-President. He talked at each place of the hard times, no one could tell thexsause better than he could if he would be truthful. He well knows that it he had permitted Secretary Fo er to issue the necessary amount ot bonds after Harrison had permitted the United States Treasury to be robbed of all its available assets, then the panic would have been averted and the country saved from the hard Mmes which it has passed. Yes, the exPresident is decidedly responsible for the hard times.

Samples of the Democratic Labor Legislation in Indiana. 1. The law prohibiting the importation of alien or foreign labor into the state under contract. 2. The law making bills for labor performed preferred claims in casa of assignment or seizure of a corporation’s property. 8. The law giving to labor a lien on the work performed in the construction of. railways. 4. The eight-hour labor law. 5. The law abolishing “pluck me” stores as a means of robbing labor of the jutft measure of itsearnings. 6. The Australian ballot law, which protects every citizen in the right to cast his vote as his conscience may dictate, and punishes coercian. 7. The school book law, which gives to the poor the means of edu cation at cost of production, and drives out a grievous monopoly. 8. The law prohibiting the black listing of discharged employes by by corporations. 9. The new tax law, which placed a hundred million dollars ol railway properly where it would bear the share of the tax burdens.

10. The fee and salary law, which gives to the public treasury the fees collected from the people in excess of fair compensation for their services. 11. The law prohibiting the discharge of an employe for belonging to a labor organization. 12. The law prohibiting the Pinkertons from coming into the state in the capacity of deputy sheriffs. At the present 'time it appears as though we are about to be stricken with one of those terrible scourges ot diphtheria or membraneous croup, which is so common in its ravages among children. There have already been three deaths from its violent attacks, and several others complaining which indicates lhe form of its assuming the character of an epidemic, and to avoid its further spread the City Council in conjunction with the Board pt Health thought it advisable to close the public schools until further or ders, and the Mayor has issued his proclamation to that effect. It is amusing to read the stories of the Republican press in talking of thirty years of prosperity we have passed through during their time of administrating the offices of the Government. They never mention the panic of 1873, when this country had more bankrupts than was ever known before or since, even lhe Harrison panic has not created the same havoc that the 1873 panic did, while the Harrison was bad enough it does not compare with that of 1873. The roorbacks the Republican National “Committee, have been sending out to soldiers of this Congressional District are of the most deceptive character. While they are such base falsehoods that they dare not sign the name of an individual or even their Committee, yet they ask the people to believe them, they dare not present them to the people from the stump or through an honorable press but like the assassin they attempt to stab in the dark. The attention of the health officers are most respectfully called tp inspect the cellars and all other places where vegetables and other kinds of perishable matter is kept, as also the alleys, and see that the city is placed in a thorough sanitary condition in time to avert the spread of any contagion that may arise from foul air that leads to the spread of cohtageous’diseases. After a little more than a year’s trial of the McKinley tariff nearly every large manufacturing concern was compelled to shut down. With less than three months’s of Democratic tariff these faetpries are opening up one alter another and busi - ness is getting back jntb its normal condition. Every Democrat should vote a straight ticket. There is no need of scratching. It is composed of excellent material from top to bottom.
