THE DEMOCRAT PUBLISHED WEEKLY. democratic press publishing co LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. ♦ , 51.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the Postofflce at Decatur, Indiana as Second-Class Mall Mutter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, MARCH 18. All fto’ices of the e'ccfiojO^ trustees, directors or other officers for any organization orsocietv will be charged at the uniform rate of $2 each. all notices for the sale of intoxicating liquors will be charged $-5 each. A synopsis of the new laws of the late legislature, will be found in this issue. Every reader of the Democrat should read the list carefully and file the paper away for future reference. Hungry office seekers are taking Washington by storrn and are making life a wearisome burden to the representatives in congress and other officials who enjoy a ‘ puil” with the new administration. Among the new administration appointments we strained our eyes but failed to find the names of either P. G. Hooper or P. L. Andrews, who imagine they constitute the g. o. p. of Adams county. Congress in special session commenced Monday for the purpose of passing a protective tariff law for the benefit of the combining trusts, which at the same time is going to relieve and inflate the purses of all of us poor devils When Mr. Cleveland handed over the treasury to Mr. McKinley last week it contained $212,837,255.63. When Mr. Cleveland received it from Mr. Harrison it was practically bankrupt and the gold reserve had been encroached upon to the amount of $5,000,000. —Indianapolis Sentinel. For the especial benefit of the Journal who needs diagrams furnished for the correct interpretation of the King’s English, when same is penned by a democrat, we wish to say that all excessive expenditures of public money in Adams county, whether they be for court purposes or anything else, will be opposed by the Democrat.

The tail of Mr. McKinley’s kite, Hobart, will cut but little figure in the proceedings ot the senete. Notwithstanding the closeness of the senate, the vacancy in Oregon will do much to nullify the potency of bis casting vote, for this puts the democ r ats and their allies one vote ahead of the republicans and brings to naught much of the clever scheming that was indulged 'in by Chairman Hanna before the legislatures of various states. According to the Journal, Governor Mount is a white winged angel who office for the people only. * There wasn’t a republican measure offered in the state legislature, no matter how partisan, unfair or unjust, that didn’t receive the governor’s sanction or apj roval. Yet the Journal frowns when we slightly criticise such narrowness. If we enjoy the distinction of bejng the only newspaper “to impugn his motives,” we certainly are glad of it. The United States senate is coming to have enough separate political groups to make its division somewhat Frt nchy in their shading. It is only a lew years since but two political parties were known to the senate Now several distinct parties has representation: The regular democrats, the regular republicans, populists, Bryan republicans, Palmer democrats and silver party men (Jones and Stewart of Nevada.) In addition there are McKinley gold republicans and the silver republicans who voted lor McKinley, the silver democrats and the gold democrats who voted for Bryan 01. the ground of regularity. It is a curious fact that, notwithstanding all these groups, some of them novel and all of them active, the new senate should be practically a tie on about every one of the great political questiions that can arise. The silver republicans of the senate and house issued a ringing manifesto to the country in the last t days of the present congress. It stated with great conciseness and energy their present political posiition. It declared a biding loyalty to the free and unlimited coinage of silver as the paramount of the remaining campaigns of the present century. While it did not announce the permanent affiliation of the silver republicans with the democratic patty in national politics; it is a fact admitted by all the senators

and representatives of this g'roupe that this intimate association is sure to continue unless the democratic partv, in some unexpected manner reverts to the control of the gold element. Os course, no prominent democrats believe anv such change possible or have the slighest fear of the ability of the millions of democrats who voted for Bryan to control the state conventions of all the states of the Uiiion against the few thousands who voted for Palmer. As for the former demoora’s who v< ted for McKidley they ate not considered as in any way identified with the democratic party. We daily read ot suicides and tragid deaths of all descriptions and character, hut their effects never penetrate us skin deep, until one of them comes close tn home. The double suicide and death of Will E. Colerick and Mae Hall of Fort Wayne- caused eyery one in Decatur to sympathize and speculate upon the probable cause or reason for such self destruction, and above all the real facts as to how it was administered. Our columns will give you the details. Miss Hall still lives but remains unconscious at Hope Hospital. The physicians are divided as to whether death resulted from the administration ot carbolic acid or from asphyxiation. The parents, other relatives and friends are the ones who suffer, and it is to them that sympathy is due. The father ot young Colerick was in this city at the time the death occurred, and bis agony was undescribable when the information came crushing down upon him. THE VILLAGE PRIDE. Mrs. Silvester Dean Leveen was polishing her brass knocker. Her long, thin hands rubbed and rubbed till the little white curls on her forehead danced like street children. Yet the labor had no perceptible effect. The metal shone like light, but so it did when she began to clean it. It had shone like that yesterday and the day before, and indeed every day for 60 years. There was a smooth circle all around the knocker where her delicate hands had worn into the hard, black wood of the door. Nevertheless the old lady rubbed away just as she had done every morning since the spring of 1833, when she ■was brought, a bride, into that house. She was the pride of Greenwich village then, and she meant to he still. On this particular frosty morning Mrs. Leveen tarried longer than usual at her task. After the lion’s head was satisfactory even to her sharp eyes she worked on. But it was evident in the glances she shot across Bank street that her attention was not given wholly to the work of her hands. Neither was it •diverted to her customary inspection of the neighbors’ knockers. Theirs glistened like herS, and, besides, every time she looked up her eyes turned to but oue doer, that of the house in front of which stood two sturdy horses and a truck. Pretty soon the door opened and a young man in a carter’s blouse came out. He saw the old lady across the street, though he pretended not to. He busied himself ostentatiously about the horses’ heads for a moment and then turned back to the truck. Mrs. Leveeu had seen him. She bent herself earnestly to the knocker aud in a few strokes finished it off. The she faced toward the street and fixed the truckman with her eyes till he had to look up. “Good morning, Aunt Martha,” he said as he doffed his cap. She beckoned to him to come to her. “Good morning, Percy,” she answered pleasantly as he approached her, cap in hand. “Come in a moment. I wish to speak with you. ” The interview he had dreaded for weeks was upon him now. He knew from the first it was inevitable, but day after day he had put it off, omitting his usual calls on his aunt and avoiding her sight and summons. Now that she had caught him he was glad. As he followed the old lady into her prim, comfortable sitting room he made a pitiful figure of humility, Lut in the meekness of his soul there was the cheerfulness of finality. ' “Sit down, Percy,” she said in the sweet toned voice he loved. He took the chair she indicated and she seated herself in her old rocker.

“Percy, dear,” she began, “is this true that I hear—you mean to marry this girl?” “Yes, Aunt Martha.' I was going to tell you, but knowing as you were ag’in it—knowing that you would not like to have me do so—l was afraid to come to you about it. ” “Don’t twirl your cap, my dear. Gentlemen don’t do that, you know.” He stuck his cap between his knees. I ‘l am sorry, Percy, you felt that way. It is my intention always to be kind and sympathetic. You should have been quite sure I would, haveheard your story through with understanding. Now tell me everything. She is the daughter, I am told, of a German in Hudson street. ” “That’s right, aunt. Her father has the biggest corner grocery over there, and he has made his pile—l mean has made money since he’s been there.” “How long has he been here?” “Going on 25 year. Oh, he’s almost an old Nint(i wardt-r now. He’s some in politics, and his family is right in it. ” “Percy. I never knew them. ” “i tnow, but,you wouldn’t. It ain’t my fault. I wanted-to have them all over to mother’s so as you could be introduced to them.” The old lady looked as though she would answer this, but did ‘

was silent a moment before she proceeded: ‘ ‘ So her father is a grocer?’ ’ “Yes, like Mr. Jamison, who you like well enough. ” “Mr. Jamison is a gentleman, my dear. The misfortunes of his family can never alter that The Jamisons are of the oldest Greenwich families on both sides. He is a grocer by necessity. This person of whom we are speaking is one by choice.” “Well, Aunt Martha, it’s as good as being a truckman, and better. ” Mrs. Leveen winced. “You might have been a judge like your father or a senator like your grandfather. I wanted you to enter political life. ” “Politics is pretty low down these days,” Percy remarked. “It ain’t what it was. Besides, I tried to get an office from Mike McNamara, but he said I wouldn’t do in any office where the pay was as much as the trucking pays. And I guess that’s about so.” The last sentence was cheerfully spoken. Mrs. Leveen looked at her nephew’s ruddy cheeks and sighed. “I do wish, Percy,” she said gently, “that you could have found some one m Greenwich. That part of Hudson street where these people live is way beyond the outskirts of the old village, out where the hog fields were till the immigrants began to settle around us.” “But what’s the difference, Aunt Martha? It's all one now. There ain’t no Greenwich any more; it’s all just New York city. So what is the use of pretending?” The impatience in the young man’s tone amazed his aunt almost as much as the sentimefft he uttered. Never before had he failed to show her respect. On the contrary, the humbleness of his demeanor had been a grievance to her; it did not become one of her own blood to manifest the same awe before her that an ordinafy Ninth warder did. The old lady straightened in her chair, the lines about her mouth stiffened, and her eyes glistened like her knocker, as she answered: “Percy Dean! You forget to whom you are speaking. You forget yourself, sir, and your good breeding is evidently suffering from the associations you permit yourself. ” Percy was frightened. The last time he had been rebuked in this temper by his aunt w T as when he was a boy. He meant no offense. “I beg your pardon, Aunt Martha,” he murmured. Mrs. Leveen took her knitting from the table and worked busily at it till she was quite calm. She looked up after every few thrusts of her needle, indignantly at first, then coldly, and finally the habitual expression of kindness returned to her face. “I dare say you are in a hurry to go to town, Percy, and I shall not detain you much You may tell me something about this young—this girl. How old is she?” “She is going on 19, Aunt Martha.” “Is she cultivated, educated? Come, Percy, tell me all about her.” “She went through the grammar school, I thiuk, but she had to work after that. So she can’t play the piano or sing, but she is a nice girl and can tend the house and cook, now that her mother’s dead. ” “That’s right. She ought to be able to manage her husband’s household. But tell me more about her. Is her voice soft, are her manners gentle, is she modest? Describe her to me, my dear. Is she pretty?”

■> Percy was encouraged by the few words of approval he had won. “Aunt, she’s a beaut, that’s” — “What do you say—a what?” “I mean she’s a beauty. She’s got blue eyes and blond hair and the nicest, biggest, reddest cheeks. She ain’t what you would call quiet; she’s more lively like. You ought to hear her laugh when we’re down on the docks nights with the rest of the crowd. I’ll bet you could hear her across the river in Hoboken. And jolly? If she gets a mug as is too fresh, she can jolly him along to beat the band. But rhe’s on the level too. She does the square thing by her old man every clip. The housework has to be done before she’s in for the game. And she slaves for her little sisters and brothers, just slaves for them, and yet she does it as willing. But then she’s good to everybody; always ready to help out with work when neighbors are behind or sick or have company, and she for horses and cats and all like that. You wouldn’t believe she was that way, though, to see her at a ball or dancing on excursion boats up the river. She’s a good looker and a good dresser, and when she’s out in full rig —well, say, she’s a sight. The other fellows don’t do nothing when we’re out” — Percy stopped short. Mrs Lcveen had risen suddenly, and she stood erect before him, tall and white and proud. “Why, Aunt Martha!” he exclaimed. ‘ ‘That is enough, Percy. Thank you. I see I havdSbeen wrong, all wrong in this ma,tter irom the first. You shall have your way, for it is right. I sent. ” “Oh, Aunt Martie,” he cried, springing up and seizing her hand to kiss, “I am so glad! But I knew you would after hearing about her. And, say, aunt, you ought to see her once. You couldn’t help but like her and admire her. Everybody in the ward does. Why, do you know what they call her, the men down at the Grapevine? The way you looked then made me think of it. They 1 call her the pride of Greenwich village. ” —J. Lincoln Steffens in New 1 York Post. ; ‘ The Korean Family Shrine. The rooms of a Korean wom'an are as ' sacred to her as a shrine is to its image —indeed, the rooms of a wife or mother are the sanctuary of any man who breaks the law. Unless for treason ®r for one oAer crime he cannot be forced to leave those rooms, and, so long as he j remains under the protection of his wife and his wife’s apartments he is secure from the officers of the law and from thn neiudtiea of bia misdemeanors.
