THE DEMOCRAT! EVERY THVRSI’AY MOKN’NC. BY LEW 0. ELLIN jHAM, Publisher. 11.50 FEK YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered ar the I'nstofflce at Decatur. Indiana as Second-Class Mail Matter. Official paper of adams county. THURSDAY. JUNE 8. The weather bureau is certainly no respector of person. Tue window glass trust will close their factories by July 1. They em- 1 ploy 17,000 skilled workmen. This is the season of the year when purchasers are looking for bargains, and the merchant who is supplying same, is the one who is profiting by the knowledge of his business. . It is said that Governor Mount anx- ( iously abides the time when his official robes may be discarded and he ! will be permitted to enjoy and manage ( his farming interests in Montgomery ; county. The Portland Sun boasts of a circulation that circulates 2425 Suns and 1 backs same up by boldly proclaiming ‘ that the books are open for inspection.

The Sun is entitled to the glory it is showering upon itself. The Indiana congressional delegation hastened to get into the band wagon and have agreed to support Congressman Henderson of lowa, for the speakership. They were just a little late, but no doubt appreciated any way. Hurrah for Henderson. And now Pfeffer says he has not returned to the republican party. Republican papers that have been referring to him as "Senator" for a week will once more take delight in calling him "old whiskers." "hay-seed" and the "Kansas crank." Columbia City Post. The city council have selected a member of the school board in the , name of John W. Tyndall. The new ' member’s knowledge of school work i makes his selection meritorious, ’ The board as composed for the coming year will be C. A. Dugan, Dote B. Erwin and J. W. Tyndall.

Talk about your Tammany of New j York, it is not a patching to the Cox i combine in Ohio. All of the ambitious g. o. p. of the Buckeye state, bows to this sainted political savior and ' lick his feet. In the re-organization of the democratic state committee John J. Nolan of Evansville, and James Munlock of Lafayette, are being mentioned for chairman. This is is subject to the withdrawal of Parks Martin. It is beginning to lie understood by the masses of the people that trusts, monopolies and syndicates are the results of gold standard and high protective tariff. They are too expensive, if this is true, and like all other bad things, "must go."—Sentinel. B. C. Moon lawyer of Kokomo, wants to be the democratic nominee for supreme judge. His introductory not only smacks of his knowledge of law, but it also leads one to believe that he knows full well how to plead his case as a candidate, as well. He deserves to succeed. Hanna is on top in Ohio politics, George B. Cox the noted corruptionist of Cincinnati, has formed an alliance with Hanna. The combination carries with it political domination in that state, and compels the ambitious office seekers to pay tribute to this political trust. Great are the

virtues of protection. What a grotesque figure the republican party will cut in the next presidential campaign if it adopts extreme anti-trust and anti-money power planks in its platform when the party’s absolutely ruled and controlled by these potent influences! This was the great political object lesson in 1896 as it will be of 1900. No matter what the wording of the anti-trust plank the trusts will construe it favorably to their interests. Sentinel. The Hon. Hugh Dougherty of Wells county, should be nominated for governor by the democrats of Indiana. As a leader he has all the qualifications of success, in fact he stands higher in the ranks of his party than any other man. As a candidate for governor he would add a tower of strength to the ticket, and the honor thus conferred would be but a deserving recognition of bis high standing both with his people and with his nartv. Send the word down the line.

To the Public. — After en voicing we find that we have ....300 Coats and Vests.... of broken lots, which we will sell at a SACRIFICE. These goods are all first-class stock, but must go at any price. Call in and see them. Yours respectfully, Pete Holthouse & Co.

According to a decision handed down by Judge Leffler of Muncie, a ■ silent partner in the saloon business can not share the profits thereof, un- • less the partner who stands out in I bold relief, shall so decree. In this instance the law recognizes no one save those to whom license may be I issued.

Admiral Dewey has left Hong Kong on his way home. The American people are becoming more than anxious for a sight of the hero of Manila. Hurry up Mr. Dewey. Congressman Henderson of lowa, has enough voter pledged to make him the successor of the great Czar Reed. Henderson is a strict administration republican, hence that family of ins are happy in the thought that congress will duly perform the will of its dictators. The re-election of Irvin Brandyberry as county superintendent, is a deserving tribute to a very deserving young man. During his two year's connection with the public schools of Adams county he has shown that his connection therewith has not been in vain. He was re elected Monday and will continue to superintend the public schools for a period of four years. The trustees were unanimous in their selection. Two constitutional amendments will be submitted to the voters of the general election next year. One is that the general assembly may prescribe qualifications necessary for the practicing of law in this state, and the other for the reorganization of the supreme court, making same to consist of not less tcan five or more than i eleven judges, who shall hold office | for six years, the increase to be filled at the next general election. Constitutional amendments are somewhat out of the ordinary, and for that reason are creating an interest among the people.

Some republican papers herealjouts. the Journal included, have indulged themselves in circulating that William i J. Bryan charged and was paid SSOO i for his Fort Wayne speech. This great “scoop” originated with the . Fort Wayne Gazette and was immedi- < ately denied and explained to .lie contrary by the Fort Wayne i Journal, but that did not interfere ' with the smaller fry giving this great I campaign argument their circulation consideration. The Journal alludes to this great statesman as “Willie.” which is another great argument against this champion of civil rights and free speech. reonre bmhimmmm The school board have selected a superintendent of our city schools in the name of H. A. Hartman. He will come here possessed of all the recommendations necessary for the success of the work at hand, and we bespeak for him a pleasant reception by our people. His school work embraces ten years application in high schools, colleges and similar positions to which he has been called here. The board are loud in their praises of him. so we presume the schools will feel the effect of his connection therewith, and Ise-elevated still higher in rank and attainments. Give Supt. Hartman your loyal support. The republicans of Ohio have set the pace and in their state convention, mildly proclaim against trusts. Such political mockery amounts to but little. The republicans have fostered and made the trusts what they are and the feeble attempts at public derison. while at the same time tickling the hands of these currupt agencies, show their dishonesty as a party. The people know too much about trusts to listen to any sickly appeal coming from the republican party on the question of trusts. Too many people I have felt the effects of this 'monopo- , I listic power to ever confide in the ' party that made them.

Xow comes Admiral Sampson with , the startling information that twice | as many ships are necessary for the ; defense of the country. This in his i minds eye, is more needed and neces-1 sary than a large standing army. Tue governor of Texas wants to have a governor's convention at which some action against trusts may be taken. Such a convention would lie a move in the right direction and if taken up by them will mark the beginning of a righteous crusade. And now comes George W. Cromer, the only George and according to the Anderson Herald is “ferninst” trusts It is quite apparent that George has not as yet been instructed in his duties to his party. He does not seem to realize that the “business interests, which contributed to the election of McKinley will see that the administration does not permit anything to happen that would in any way injure the trusts.’ When George gets down to Washington he will be informed that the republican party must take care of its offspring and the trusts will not lie molested as long as McKinley is president - Muncie Herald. | Hon. A. J. Warner, president of | Bimetalic League is in Washington.. He said of the probable democratic platform of next year: “The democratic party will stand bv the Chicago platform. The money plank will lie made as full and as strong as if there were no other issues. I would be in favor also of making a declaration against trusts, as if that were the only issue: and the same with our declaration against inperialism and the Philippine war. Neither question | can lie said to obscure or take preI cedence of the other, but all com- ; bine to make an'issue that I believe the jieople will support.” Says Senator Gorman on the future |of democracy: •'LI bygone years I there have lieen differences of opinion tietween men of the same political faith and at times there has been such bitter feeling between partisans that men who did not lielieve in the platforms enunciated have left the partv, but. like the prodical son, they invariably have returned. To my mind there is no reason why the democratic partv should be split. \\ e cannot hope to win so long as we are unable to present a solid front. But in the next campaign I look for a reunited party, men to bury their differences and to get together on some common ground and go out hand in hand to do battle with the enemy.” Hanna says the trust question is not a political one. Os course it is very natural under the circumstances that Marcus should wish to remove the trust evil from politics. He is beginning to understand that the people have about reached the conclusion that a judicious use of the ballot will undo much of the damage already done, hence his sudden desire to draw himself and partv from under. Perhaps Mark’s idea is to put the question “in the hands of its friends, for settlement, as has heretofore been suggested with regard to the tarriff and financial questions. With the trusts settling the trust question, the banks adjusting the financial question differences and the tariff barons regulating the tax on the necessaries of life it leads us to wonder if after awhile the people , won t feel thankful that thev have such disinterested “friends” to unravel all knotty public problems.— Miami County Sentinel.

COINTY SVPERINTENDENT. The Board of Education .Select Irvin Brandyberry to Succeed Himself. The board of education met at the auditor's office Monday at ten o'clock and with one ballot elei’ted a county superintendent, who under the 1899 legislative acts will serve a term of four years. The only candidate for the vacancy was Irvin Brar.dyberry. who has faithfully served in that capacity for the past two years. He was the unanimous choice of the trustee-, a tribute to his excellent qualifications as a student and as an official. Every trustee was present but J. D. Nidlinger of Union township, who is in Germany, and his credentials with Auditor Mangold showed his preferrece to be in full accord with the selection made. It took about five minutes to complete this important mission. Auditor Mangold, by virtue of his office, acted as secretary of the lioard, and recorded the proceedings which made Superintendent Brar.dyberry his own successor. The new superintendent made a sjH-ech t ■ the board, which bristled with pr ‘ and gratitude in thus extending and piping honor upon his head. He promised a faithful perf' rm : -of the important duties to the action of those who selected him. nd to the advancement of the p.mm* schools of our county, in whe h aj>versal interest is centered. T1 .it he will do all this, we have no doubt. He is interested in the work. k:.ow- u.'-a needs and requirements, and win •■"iitinue to direct them in the pr per channel. At eleven o'clock D: “ 5 Meiber’s new bus took a happy party to the superintendent's home v,::ere dinner was served. The party consisted of Trustees Lewton. 1 r ' !*'• j George W. Brown. Steele. Smith. Wechter. Schug, Stuckey, Mechur Hall, John Brown. Buckmaster. Commissioners Doak. Mann and Reppyn Auditor Mangold, Deputy Audita Lewton, N. Blackburn and L. G. hi. ingham. The reception andgorgecm dinner served by Mrs. Brandvbern was simply excellent in the » xti nrf Some fear was apprehended ti.at L W. Lewton would afterwards s ’"wi some of the unpleasant symptoms a the gout, but careful nursing mis brought him through all i Photographer Moser took an atmi dinner picture of the group, and gca results are expected. Mr. and Brandyberry left Tuesday morning for a trio to New Mexico and C ra do. The latter's health has oeen somewhat clouded, and it i- '*spected that climatic change will resu in great good. In that event she remain all summer. Mr. B rau “- V berry will return in perhaps tlnnj days and if the climate proves benem ial to his wife, she will remain tbert during the summer.
