The absolute and lasting severance of church and State. 3. The freedom, sovereignty and independence of the respective states. 4. The union; a confederacy; a neither a consolidation nor a centralization. 5. The constitution of the union, a special written grant of powers, limited and deffnite. 6. The civil power paramount to the military power. 7. The representative to obey the instructions of his constituents. 8. Elections free and suffrage universal. 9. No hereditary office, nor order, nor title. 10. No taxation beyond the public want. 11. No national debt, if possible. 12. No costly splendor of administration. 13. No proscription of opinion * nor of public discussion. . X 14. No unnecessary interference with individual conduct, property or speech. 1 15. No favored classes, and no monopolies.

16. No public moneys expended, except by warrant of special appropriation. »— 17. No mysteries of government inaccessible to the public eye. IS. Public compensation for public services, salaries moderate and pervading economy. All of the defeated candidates for Congress will remain in the State. This is gratifying. Indiana is grateful for their past services and would be lotath to lose any of them as citizens. The census tables indicate that we are annexing the Canadians, and as for Canada itself, it can stay out in the cold as long as it wants to or until the Nova Scotia coal mines are annexnd by New England. Mr. Babcock. says that the Mc--Kinley law will not be re-enacted. Certainly not. The same law by any other name will smell just as | sweet to the protected manufacturfc ors and trusts. They are not stuck ft on names. ■ _ -« B't Free silver coinage would do ..more to restore confidence than anything that could be tried just now. " "The restoration promised by John If Sherman as something that would 1 follow the repeal of the silver purB chasing act has not yet made its apparance. The fact is hard / tunes cannot be improved by makK jng money scarce.

What a conglomerated sort of a body the next House of Representatives will be! Scarcely one out of ten of the Republicans elected has had any experience in National affairs. But there may be afuture President lurking among them for all that. The trouble heretofore, with both parties, has been that new men have not had much chance. The recent revolution has not neces--1 sarily disposed of all of those *bo were defeated, but it has undoubtedly awakened a very general desire for new blood in politics. Well it is. needed. The merchant will dress up his fine plate windows with the nice and beautiful Christmas goods he has for sale, to attract the attention of those passing by. They, however, have little time to stop and examine. The determination of what shall be bought is generally made at the home, and it is this the dealer must reach. He can do 80 Only by liberally advertising his goods, then it will reach the people. The continued withdrawal of gold from the sub-treasury show the pressing need of a currency commission to frame some better policy than vttnch pays bankers an interest premium on gold at one window ot the treasury in order that.they may have a better opportunity to draw it out at another. The country stands by President Clevelaed in demanding that the differential sugar tax protecting the sugar trust should be repealed.

Senator Tubpie has taken the lead again in the fight for election of United States Senators by popui lar vote. No reform in our constitutional system is more needed or more generally demanded than this, and the Senator believes in and it is a matter of State pride that an Indiana Senator is leading in the movement But the Senator should go further. The bill should be all offices from road supervisors to the President of the United States should be elected by the popular vote. ) =g The Federation of Labor refuses to take a hand in in the preposterous movement to organize a distinctively “labor party.” And it acted wisely. A “labor party” is no less a class organization than a “millionaire party” would be. And there is no room in this country for political divions on class lines. The United States belongs to all the people, not to this or that faction or class. —•• w New York bankers are already looking forward to another issue 1 of bonds. They are also laying, their plans to repletfe the gold reserve-ta such an amount aS to insure them against disappointment. The only power that can bring them discomfiture is Congress, which can prevent further issuance of bonds an imperative decree to that effect. This is what ought to do immediately. ‘ ■

NOT AN EMPTY VICTORY.Republican indignation has subsided. No Republican tariff measure to restore wages isyet proposed. Nothing is said of a new law to guard the liberties of the colored brethren in the Boutn. Whether their tameness is anadmission that the country is with the Democratic repeals of the two typical Republican laws—the McKinley tariff and the Federal election statute —or only a wily refusal to show the Republican hand, it is sufficient to prove that the g. o. p. is not possessed with the impatience of moral conviction. Our Democratic Congress has a session longer to live ana yet* has accomplished reforms of which Republicans do not care to make issues for a calm discussion. Victory m 1892 was not in vain. With reference to thetariff question and the President’s message New York World says: “The President does all that can be expected of him when he recommends free iron, free coal and the repeal of the differential duty on sugar. None of these changes involves any further distress to established industries.” That is true, and there will be no reasonable excuse for the failure of Democratic Senators to make honest and persistent endeavor to pass the separate bills now on the calender of the Senate, We are glad that Senator Mills says he is “m favor of losing no time and sparing no effort, physical nor other, to this end.” Call the roll and let the country see the names of Senators who will stand by the Sugar Trust and the iron and coal combines. Smoke them out! Township Trustees should give the question of gravel roads some thought. This is the time of the year when the road question presents itself to all parties who have to travel on the roads. A meeting ol trustees to talk over the graveling of at least one road in eachjtownship m the county. Other counties are putting their road work tn by having all road work in by having all road work done in the -way. of grading and graveling roads. The two days required of each man between the ages of twenty-one and fifty will do a large amount of work, while the land tax will do a large amount of hauling, while a number of farmers are always ready to donate a few days* work which will in a few years gravel all the roads in this county.

COMMUNICATED. Respected Frlends-The l increasing interest in the subject of a pure literature within our homes lias been made manifest In various ways, and we have been pleased to note the sympathy expressed in many of the leading papers of the day for this good end. As representatives of Friends we turn again to the press, wishing to share the great responsibility which rests with it tn the right education of the young. We know that through its daily and-weekly columns seed is sown which brings forth fruit for good or I|l. As a mighty factor to this end it lias scarcely a limit to its power, and that which it has already done for good proves its great influence to elevate and guide the thousands of its readers whose weak aim it serves to strengthen and direct. Let nothing hinder or retard its work. Cast out the evil that the good may reign. Advertisement?, which point to glided crime, details of most unholy acts, personal and pictorial notices which are incentives to the violation of the higher law-let all of these be thrown aside, giving their space to better things. May not the cheering fact that journalism has already done so much lead to the hope that more and more it may become the the faithful friendffl those whose bleak lives are so imdch (controlled by what Its columns present? ' Let us together hail the advent of that day which will produce a bright, unsullied sheet for every home. Trusting that you may deem this expression of our views and ainis fit for a place within your columns, and asking for a word of kindly interest in our work, we are sincere y j ourofriends.
