Turn on the electrec liejbts. Governor Mount promise to punish the Veraailes lynchers, and we hope he will. Advertising is the only advance agent we know of, and especially if that advertising is planted in the newsy columns of the Democrat. All other prosperity imitations are rank frauds. Be it resolved, that the common council of this city order that financial repo r t which one member of that body promised would be done. The public will be thankful for small favors. Notice the announcement elsewhere of the Monroeville barbecue, which is dated September 30. Railway corporations are hereby notified that unless they coerse their em ploves, they may at'end. Prosperity has come at last, bnt it has a ghostly appearance and can be seen only in supplement form in republican newspapers, the same being furnished them bv Mark Han nu’s campaign committee. Great is the joy. At Springfield, Ohio, beginning yesterday a free silver camp meeting began. Nearly every s'ate in the union will be represented. It will be the grandest event in Ohio polities this year. Railway employes will not be came t at the Mark Hanna rate. The tariff is a tax which the consumer pays. Os course one cent a pound more on sugar don’t amount to much, bnt it is a mighty fancy thing for the sugar trust, who reapthe entire benefit of ail this corruption It is an indisputable fact that the last republican congress took good care of the trusts. President McKinley has furnished more evidence of the import an te of wreckers and looters of money entrusted to the care and keeping of banks. He has pard ned Francis A. Coffin from the Michigan Citv prison after he bad served one of a sentence of eight years. Coffin was implicated in the wrecking of the Indianapolis Na ional Bank. Some of our opponents have insisted that silver at $1.29 an ounce would make the silver dollar as hard to obtain as the gold dollar is now, but they ignore the fact that an increased volume of standard money will lessen the parehasing power ot a dollar, whether it be of silver or gold, and thus restore prices to the bimetallic level.—Wdiiam J. Bryan. The republicans are showing how confident they are of carrying Ohio by colonizing voters there from West Virginia and other adjacent states. The democrats are fully aware of what is being done in that line, and Boss Hanna's henchmen will find it much easier to carry men into Ohio and give them temporary work than it will be to register and vote them. The receipts of the governmen’ for tee month of August under the Dingley tariff law. were *5,538,552 less than receipts for August 1896, under the Wilson tariff law. It may be that the claims of the republicans as to the revenue-producing qualities of the Dingley tariff will be realized at some time in the future, but the above figures show that they are as yet a long way from being realized. The free silver camp meeting, barbecue and general turning over of the gold bug fallacies will take’ place at Monroeville on September 30, as previously announced. It will be the event of the season, and so tremenduous aid voluptuous in size and enthusiasm, that heart failure is feared among the most ardent who insist that a coined silver dollar is worth less than fifty cents. lee water will be on hand to revive those who faint. Everybody should go. It is no political event and is everybody's meeting. Prepare yourself to attend.

Five non were hitched at Versailes, Ind., last night bv outraged citizens. Such lawlessness is worse than crime. Advertise and don’t he mealy mouthed about as imp -riant a tactor in successfully filling your p ace in the business world The Democrat’s contrac'B are money finders eyerv time. Congressman Johnson of the sixth Indiana district, has publicly announced and declared that be will uot sacrifice himself upon the public alter again. Instead, he will move bis family to New York and here continue the practice vs h s profession—that of law. PtlE most significant thing about republicans rejoicing over the rise in wheat is that in admitting the rise to be beneficial they answer the arguments male last fall by the leading advocates ot the gold stand ard and plant themselves on the ground heretofore occupied by bimetalists. —William J. Bryan. It would be cruel to ask a democratic editor or orator if they have seen pros perity come around the corner. —Journal. Since it would be cruel to ask a democratic editor such an impertinent question, perhaps it wouldn't be out of ordtr for us to ask the Journal editor if he has had any night mares or real visions of the advance agent, just around the corner. Some of our gold bug contemporaries are insisting that law and order must be maintained in Penn sylvania, but not a solitary one of them is demanding the enforcement of the anti-trust law in Indiana. The goober and the Attorney-gen-eral shut their eyes when they come to that page of the statutes. — Sentinel. The republican and gold bug press of the state appear entirely s-atisfied with the reductions of assessment of railroad property by the goober and his tax board. Not a paper has a word to say in condemnation ot the betrayal of the people. The republican party is tinder the domination < f the corporations completelv. There is uot enough independence left in it to produce even talk—-Sentinel. A. D. Mofeftt ha- embarked in the newspaper business at Elwood. Indiana, the most ti mnshing business point in the gas belt. He has purchased the Elwood Press and Record, a daily and weekly newspiper.and tbejonly one of democratic persuasion in that place. His personal adaptation for this line ot work will aid him much in making a success of the business. His many friends at this place will unite in wishing him glittering success. Candidates for state office—democratic candidates of coun-e—are beginning to bob up from all corners of Indiana. Indications now point to a ci mplete resurrection of that anarchistic skeleton, known among the gold big fraternity as the dead issue of free silver. Next year it will be the livliest corpse that ever speeded in the political arena. Saltpeter or Mark Hanna's bubble of prosperity will never save the republican party from de feat. The council has ordered Edwards to remove all street arc lights forthwith, it he cares to protect them. Had he not done so the proper < fficer would have been dispatched to perform the work for him. This is the kind treatment allotted a man who has invested all his means in an enterprise, that now is a “dead horse,” made so by the greedish action of the city board. A gentlemanly notification was not even accorded him. It is dangerous to be safe, when you fool with the business end of the present city council.

Boss Hanna has all he proverbial thrift of the very rich man. He knows the art of making others pay for what he wants for himself, and he is utilizing it iu the Ohio campaign, Although there are no national issues in the Ohio campaign, the republican national committee is taking an active part in it and is putting up money liberally to help Hanna get that coveted election to the senate. To all intents and purposes. Boss Hanna and his man Dick, who are the managers of the republican campaign in Ohio, cor.- ' trol the Republican national com mittee and the surplus it had left in the treasury from the big contribu tions to the McKinley fund, and fears are expressed on the part of ‘ republicans from other states, who had hoped to finger that surplus in the congressional campaign next vear, that it will all be spent in ; Ohio this year, and some of them do not hesitate to say that Hinna ought to use his own money in hie efforts to buy his return to the senate. *

In the opinion of the silver men, I now in Washington, th? action <>t the B»nk of England in deciding •-> I bold one-fifth of its reserve in si'ver, will not prove any direct beretv to silver, but they t>eli< ve that i. will help silver indirectlv by increasing public interest in Eur ptin the principle of bimetallism. They think that the action < n the part of the Bank of England was taken more to conciliate the growing silver sentiment in Great Britain than as a result of the visit of the bimeta'lie corom to England and its conferences with representatives of the government of Great Bri'ain, Some of the silver men regard the whole business as nothing more than a trick on the part of the gold standard financiers of England to mike the silver men there and over here believe that they are gradually coming around to bitnetalism of their own accord, in preference to waiting until they are compelled to do so. These gentlemen are firmly of the opinion that England will never willingly adopt bimetallism, and that the only way to get her to do so is to force it, and the way to force it is for the United States to adopt bitneta’ism independently or in conjunction with as many b uropean governments as may desire to join the move. The C'neinnati Enquirer offers a plain illustration of the reason why wheat and silver have temporarily parted company in price. There is a Large crop of wheat in the United States, and an unusual demand consequent upon a partial crop failure abroad, hence the advance in price. I’here is a large crop of silver and no demand, hence the decline in price. Increase the demand for -ilver by restoring its coinage on a parity with gold, and it will advance in price at once. It is the coinage demand that fixes the price of gold aud silver bullion. By a concert ot action on the part ot g >1 i monometallists ai d demand for silver for money uses has ceased, and it is a marvel that its gold price has uot fallen still lower. If restored to its old place as a money of redemption it would gradually, but very speedily, be at par with gold at an established ratio, for the reason that the demand tor money is unlimited. Every individual, from the beggar to the millionaire, wants more than he has. The supply of Amr mav be in excess ot the de- j mand. The supply of silver or gold | may be greater than the demand in manufactures and in the arts: but when coined into money and exchangeable for everything within the compass of human * ants, the demand for money will never be satisfactory.

VACATION DAYS. In the Lake Regioos of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota. lowa and South Dakota, along the lines of the Chicago, Wilwaukee Jfc St. Paul Railway, are hundreds of charming localities preeminently fitted for summer homes, nearly all i of which are located on or near lakes which have not been fished out. These resorts range in variety from the “full dres*> for dinner” to. the flannel shirt costum for every meal. Among the list are names familiar to many of our readers as the perfection of Northern summer resorts. Nearly all of the Wisconsin points of interest are within a short distance from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none of them are so far away from the '‘busy marts of civilization” that they cannot be reached in a few hours of travel, by frequent trains, over the finest road in the Northwest—the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Send a two cent stamp for a copy of ‘■Vacation Days” giving a description of the principal resorts, and a list of summer hotels and boarding houses, and rates for board, to Geo. H. Heafford, General Passenger Agent, Chicago, 111.

Scrolula Is a deep-seated blood disease which all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. (guaranteedpurely vegetable ) is « real blood remedy for blood diseases and has no equal. Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the I doctors who could not relieve her. A

specialist said he , could cure her, but he filled her with . arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She then took nearly every so-called blood medicine and drank them by the wholesale, >but they did not reach - ,her trouble. Some I one advised her to try j S.S.S. and she very I

soon found that she had a real blood I remedy at last. She says: “After tak- I ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am ; perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying up the poison in my system, like the potash and j arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was perma- i nently rid of it.” A Real Blood Remedy. S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure a deep-seated blood disease, but take a real blood remedy.
