THE DEMOCRAT EVERY THURSDAY MORNING BY LEW G. ELLiNGHAM, Publisher. *1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the Postofficeat Decatur. Indiana as Second-Class Mail Matter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, JUNE 15. Minisser Bellamy Storer has arrived safely at Madrid. He was somewhat late but he got there just the same. Expansion in business is what we are all looking for. If you expand your advertising your business will expand accordingly. Try it and see. The Northern Indiana Editorial Association is holding its annual meeting at Muncie today and tomorrow. The Hon. John B. Stoll is president of the association. J. L. Smith one of the best newspaper writers in the state, has returned to his first love by purchasing a half interest in the Winchester Democrat, The paper will be improved through his inspiration. The announcement is made that Vice-President Hobart will not be a candidate for re-nomination and reelection. It is the same old story of failing health that has blocked the political aspirations of many men. The Decatur Democrat comes out strongly in favor of Hugh Dougherty as the democratic candidate for governor next year. Mr. Doughertv’s gubernatorial boom is steadily increasing in dimensions. —South Bend Tinies.

In payment for favors received A. L. Sharpe of Bluffton, will be census supervisor for this congressional district. The position comes through the appointing power of Congressman Cromer and pays from 81500 to S3OOO for about six months labor. The duties involved are the appointment of census enumerators in each township in the district, who in turn will make their reports to him and later to be sent to the census bureau at Washington. The appointment as all right as Doc Sharpe is a meritorious republican.

Even the Cincinnati CommercialTribune gives space to severe criticism of the salted saint. Senator Hanna. No wonder the health of the junior senator of Ohio is in need of repair. The brutal way in which Hanna murders the King's English when expressing himself about men —especially those who oppose him—in no wav distinguishes him as a statesman. The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette made its first appearance in consolidated form yesterday morning. Under the new arrangement the full Associated Press reports will daily appear, and an effort will be made upon the part of its publishers to make it a newspaper that will compare in service to Indianapolis newspapers. In late years the Journal has been very successful and is now equipped equal to any newspaper in the sate. The imperialistic press often states that Aguinaldo is not fighting for anybody's liberty, but is a military dictator, and that the war in the Philippines is for the purpose of rescuing the people from military tyranny. Aguinaldo may be what they claim the average American citizen has no means of knowing the truth, and we cannot be sure that those who know the truth tell it. But what is William McKinj ley. in the Philippines, but a military dictator? ________ I Congressman Cromer was in the 'city Tuesday night and yesterday ' morning looking up the faithful and i extending to them the glad hand, i While presumably he was looking after the interests of his constituents, i yet the ear marks were visible that I his principal mission was that of i making himself solid for a re-nomina- ; tion. In this he will be successful, I having at his command the machinery ;of his party. He was looking pleased I with himself and contented with the world at large.

Senator Hanna says of Toledo | 1 Jones: "The real workingmen were ; not with him. He was backed by the riff-raff 'and the idle fellows you find ■in every city. All the liquor dealers j and bums were with him, along with 1 the democrats, and that is how he; 1 came to be elected mayor." When it jis known that Toledo Jones received : i 16,895 votes against 4,266 for the I machine republican cvndidate, and > 3,125 for the democratic nominee, the ; force of Senator Hanna’s vulgar remark, seems plain. The senator | 1 should hereafter make a few calcula-i j tions before rushing into print. |

One of the principal reasons why Secretary Algers desires to retain the war portfolio, even when he knows that Mr. McKieley would like to get rid of him. will soon become apparent to close observers, as it has been announced that a number of franchises for various valuable concessions in Porto Rico are shortly tobe granted.

Members of the administration are greatlv exercised over the latest news from the Czar’s peace conference at the Hague, which says that Germany is opposing the arbitration scheme, and that it will probably get enough votes from the smaller powers represented to defeat it. There are others, however, who would feel grateful to Germany if it would defeat the arbitration scheme, because they regard it as much more likely to prove hurtful than helpful to this country if adopted. Distinguished Cubans are in M ashington to protest against the order of the war department suspending all legal proceedings on debts contracted before last December in Cuba, and to endeavor to get the order revoked, or at least modified. They say that the order is paralyzing the business of the planters by making it impossible for them to borrow money without paying extortionate interest, but their chance for success is not encouraging, as the order in question is one of Alger's pet schemes.

The New York Sun is of the opinion that Mr. Croker’s dinner was in the nature of a "funeral feast.” Perhaps this is going too far. It was not what it started out to be, but it doesn't involve Tammany, much less the democratic partv. The various ends its promoters liad in view vanished with the announcement of the affair, and it resolved itself into a jollv dinner, where congenial spirits smiled at one another across the festal board. Tammany will come up smiling at the proper time, and will be in line with the democracy in 1900. and the party will be in possession 1 of a much purer

brand of harmony than the ten-doll ar dinner would have brought about. — Atlanta Constitution. It is truly said of trusts: "It is a concentration of capital: a cutting down of forces: a decrease in cost of I production and a robbery in increase in prices. Glass, for instance, that cost 15 cents, now costs 30 to 32 cents. They made a profit when they sold it at 15 cents. With decreased cost of production and getting upon the market, one need not do any guessing to grasp the idea of the enormous ■profits at 30 cents or more. If they raise wages it is but a paltry part of the great profits that every builder

must pay to these robbers. A plate s glass that a year ago eost SIOO costs ’ 8215 now. Just think of these figures < and then wonder whether people will ' stand such downright robliery. The < same thing is true of iron, nails and < many other products. They will be i brought up some time with a swift 1 jerk.” It is follv for some democrats to insist that the Chicago platform must Ire readopted, sentence for sentence and word for word. The democratic nor any other party ever readopted a platform. We do not mean by this that there is any demand from true democrats for a change in principles of the Chicago platform, but new is- . sues are constantly arising, and every year brings forth demands for legislation which was not thought of before. I The curse of trusts and the un-Amer-i ican tendency of the administration to imperialism are not so conspicuous- ’ ly set out in the Chicago platform as | they will be in the next democratic i platform, and in this respect, at least, the Chicago platform will be changed, j But the democratic party and Bryan J and bimetallism, and anti-trusts, and anti-gathering black savages to our W household will sweep the country. — ® Rochester Sentinel.

Admiral Dewey put off from Hong Kong in the teeth of a gale and in the midst of a terrific rainstorm. There was method in the antic. The admiral got away without creating a great deal of disturbance. He would probably prefer to arrive that way.— Fort Wayne Sentinel. In issuing a second elaborate defense of Mr. McKinley's civil service! order, Secretary Gage rather overdid I his task, without changing anybody s . opinion. Criticicisms of the order 1 have made Mr. McKinley very sore.; and he has engaged in the explanation business and even tried toget “funny I by telling how surprised senators and representatives have been who have < come after some of the places except -. ed from the civil cervice rules and found them filled and that no remov-! als were contemplated. He also gave out for publication a letter from the the Board of the Smithsonian Institute. asking that the heads of all the bureaus of that establishment be exempted from the civil service rules. So much explanation is calculated to

increase rather than to diminish suspicion of that order. The full significance of the clause which permits the reinstatement of any government employe, regardless of how long they have been out of the government ser-

vice is just beginning to be seen. Under it every employe who was dismissed during the two Cleveland administrations can be reinstated if they have pull enough. Gold standard organs are making a parade of the increase of wages in a few factories, citing such incidents as

proof that prosperity has struck the wage workers as well as the monopolists. Who will be fooled? Not the | men who are out of employment, not I the men working for less than enough to keep body and soul together decently: not any intelligent observer of the course of events. After Cleveland, Rothschild A: Co.'s panic in 1893 wages everywhere were cut. and when times failed to get better under the goldcure treatment then administered by congress at thedietation of Wall street

through Wall street’s agent, Grover Cleveland, wages were cut again and again. During the campaign of 1896 nearly all of the great employers of labor", under pressure from the userers, stated to their hands that if Bryan should lx; elected they would have to reduce wages some more, or close down: but that McKinley's success meant steady work and a restoration of the wage-scale of 1892. Thousands of Bryan men in the large cities voted for McKinley under the deadly fear of starvation due to such threats by the bosses, and that was what elected the gold-bug ticket. Everybody knows what followed immediately after elec-

tion. Cuts in wages occurred everywhere, and nothing but euts were heard of throughout 1896 and 1897. In 1898 the organization of trusts progressed at a rate never before known. That sort of thing is still going on. and in a short time all industries will be controlled by the trusts. Every trust perfected means the shutting down of factories and the throwing out of employment of thousands. These facts the plutocratic newspapers pass in silence. But in a few of the factories—only a few—remainingopen wages have been raised to the 1896 scale. So far. as publicly announced no wages have gone up "to the 1892 scale. Wages in some factories have ireen increased to the figures at which they stood preceding the cuts made after McKinley’s election. Cleveland panic wages is" the best McKinley’s prosperity has yet given us.
