Office in Democrat Building, east stdeof Sec ond Street—ground floor In the country at large the result of the election is due almost wholly to the depressed financial conditions. Whether justly or not, the Republicans have made the most of the hard times as a political argument and they won. Os course, the tariff legislation was made Ja part and parcel of the argument that decimated the ranks of the Democracy. In New York, however, the results were influenced by many local questions. The Lexow mvesmemory of the Maynard wrong, the quarrel between the Cleveland and Hill factions’and othea matters of a disturbing nature entered into the Empire'fstate ■campaign and made it impossible for Hill to succeed in his canvass. 7he Senator, However, stands in a position to say “I told you so.” It will be recalled that, he stood up m the Senate, during the tariff debate, and said to his colleagues that if the income tax proposition was passed, it would make York a Republican state. It was passed despite his warning and it played a part in bringing disaster upon the Democratic forces. But one point remains apparent to political logicians, and that is that Hill will come out of the campaign, even though defeated, with greater credit to himself than is true of the obese President of these United States. Democrats everywhere will denounce the man who preferred to vent a personal spite rather than to gain party success. In the other states, perhaps, the victory was due alone to the fact that the Democrats, because of the hard times, were on the defensive. In Nebraska, the Democrats and Populists fused against Republican misrule and probably won. The whole story is one-sided, however, and the Republican eagle has a right to scream.

The Democrats are completely snowed under all around. This State is no exception. While the party went before the people as it has in the past with a fixed principle insteaiof’ a policy. The element that control the election in this country al this time seems to be in favor of policy instead of principle, and again the policy party w’ill rule the country for a short season, but there is no question but what the people will soon v tire of policy rule and again seek help from the cormorants of the policy party that has fattened off of the laborers of this country, then will they return to their friends and the party with a fixed principle will again triumph. D. A. & J. W. Fawcst have launched a paper at Winchester, Indiana. They say, believing that the people of Winchester and Randolph county will accord a fair support to a Democratic newspaper, they haye decided to engage in such a publication. The paper is a five column quarto of fine make-up and full of news. To them we extend the best wishes. Yue election of 1892 was repeated Tuesday with the shoe on the other foot. Thea we crowed, this time they crow. GRAVEL ROADS. Commissioners court will convene in regular session the first Monday of next month, and we wuold sug--gest that inasmuch as the election is now over, that some active, energetic man or sevral of them, will go to work now with a petition and have it well circulated and get signers enough to it to secure its success before the Board of Commissioner to grant a view of a route for a road leading into Decatur. By commencing early, the work of laying out and preparing for an early construction of a gravel road in the spring can be accomplished successfully. An (Jnaiipreciated Editor’*. Wall. It is not unfrequent that newspapers Qtd themselves unappreciated by the men whom they have favored by their support, column after column being published in their favor, and yet such favors when the test comes, are not appreciated, observes an exchange. Exactly so. And the Chronicle desires to say to specimens of this class that when you find a journal taking no interest in you or your success, when you find it keeping aggravatingly silent when you think the editors should be tearing their linen in yonr behalf, do not work yourself into a fever of anxiiety to the cause, but just ask yourself wherein you have placed them under obligations to use spaed and energy for you.

Jacob S. Hart Replies to the Scurrilous . Attack of the Journal, • J appeal to the Republicans of Adams county who have patronized my mill, it I have not treated them as good and as accommodating as any of your neighbors have been tre ited.' What fight then has the editor of the Journal in iiis issue of Nov. 2. 1894, to say “evi dently J. S. Hart don’t want any republican customers” and further, he says '‘be will sell his flour to Democrats I brand this as a lie and" a malicious falsehood. What I said in my article in the Democrat had no allusion to business matters, but on the contrary, it was political, and had he attacked my political views in the mat% ter instead of my business it would have been all right. But to attack a man’s business in that kind of a manner, 1 regard as one of the lowest and most contemptible pieces of business, a man of your standing can be guilty of. 1 think it would be a credit to the Republican party to get rid of such men. To my Republican customers: I have done your milling for the past thirty years, can anyone say I have not treated them squarely, fairly and courteously during all this time, and to have my 1 ' business attacked in this way by a man who never had any acquaintance with i me, I think is pretty hard. So far as the belt is concerned anyone can ask Fred Schafer about it and he will tell you who has 1 been misrepresented in the case and whether it was first-class or second-handed. We think he will tell you we can and did buy a first-class belt. > Now Mr. Journal man if you will come squarely out and and acknowledge to the people that you doile us an injury in your statement and why you , done it, then it will be all right, if not then we will try the next best thing.

A DOCTOR’S PHILAKTHROPHY. Thousands Afflicted by Chronic Catarrh Under Free Treatment. The first day of November, 1893, Dr. Hartman gave his consent to take charge of the treatment of 10,000 cases of chrbnic catarrh free of charge. The announcement was at once published in all the leading papers, when the applications came pouring in from every Statqjjn the Union. a large num ber or clerks and stenographers to as sist him, the doctor actually directs the treatment of thousands of cases by correspondence, which costs the patients nothing, except the neeessary medicineswhich are obtained at'the nearest drugstore. To become a patient it is only necessary to send name and address, describe symptoms, and minute directions as to diet, sanitary regulations, and other advice will be sent promptly. Wherever Dr. Hartman is known the name of Pe-ru-na has become a household word. It is safe to say that no medicine in existence is used by so many families as Pe-ru-na This is especially true of this time of the year, when the peopls are liable to catarrhal affections, coughs, colds," la grippe, etc. Pe-ru-na has cured* more cases of chronic catarrh than all othdr medicines combined. The great majority of those who use it buy the remedy themselves, use it according to directions, not even reporting their case to Dr. Hartnaan until after they are entirely cured. But now that a limited number of cases can secure the personal attention of Dr. Hartman free of charge, it is not to be wondered at that many prefer to do so. Peru na never fails to cure catarrh when properly used. The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, of Columbus. Ohio, are sending free to any address a book on chronic catarrh which gives, the latest treatment for catarrh, coughs, colds, la grippe, bronchitis and all other affections of head, throat and lungs. W. B. Moore, an artist of 16 years experience, under the employ of J. E, Moser, of Decatur, will be at Berne. Ind., on Saturday of each week, 81-4

OBtTI'ARX. Theresia Spuller Gilllg was born in the town of Over Endlngen Canton Argaw in Switzerland. January 26,1817 and died at the home of her son, Amos. Gilllg in Decatur, Ind., Friday evening October 26, 1894 at the age of 77 years, 9 months. Slxty-one years ago she came to the United States and in 1838 was married to Francis Joseph Gilllg at Sandusky, O. Mr, Gillig died in April 1892. In 1849 she joined the U.B. church and in 1860 the M. K. and the same year allied herself with the Daughters of Rebecca. • Eight children were bom to them, two of whom are still living—Amos Gilllg and Mrs. S. Spangler. She was an ideal mother whose life was full of faith and good works—a true torch-bearer for Christ" Many are the men and women who remember that their Christian lives were sustained and advanced by the influence of her consistent and steady Christian life. She was greatly afflicted for a number of years, being entirely deprived of the privilege of attendance at church, out her sick room was the sanctuary ot the Lord. Patieptly and prayerfully she endured the pain until the Angel of Death gently carried her sweet, strong soul away to that realm where there is no sickness, sorrow, pain or death. Her life was worthy of imitation. Funeral was held Monday afternoon, October 29, when they carried her Jo the shureh she loved so well, where amid weeping friends, lieautiful flowers and sweetly solemn music was remembered her life and its relation to the One who brought life and immortality to to life. She was Interred at Maplewood cemetery. ***

A Sad Death. Can you describe anything worse than a young man dying by inches with consuiution, cut off in the bloom of youth, When bright prospects of happiness and prosperity are before them, a very sad death indeed? Is it not a fact that most cases of this kind are brought on by a cough, only slight at first, then more violent, followed by night sweats and breaking down of the entire system, these are cases in which people are to blame. Why not check this slight cough, Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup is guaranteed to cure, it will prevent consumption. . Use it before it is too late. By “druggists.

Washington, Nov. 5. — One unexpected result of the war in the east, which will bring it home perhaps to our i own people, is described in a report to ! the state department from United States Consul Stephen at Annaberg, Germany. He says: “The straw plaiting industry, with its seat in Dresden, Saxony, is beginning to feel the effects of the war in eastern Asia. The straw hat manufacturers usually draw their material, put up into straw hat braids, from China and Japan. The blockading of the ports from which these braids were exported has caused a scarcity and higher prices for the raw material. Manu- I facturers are beginning to look for other . sources from which to supply their de- ' mands and expect to be on the spring j market — having nothing better—with I home products.” BRIEFb.
