THE DEMOCRAT BVRKYTHUHBBAYMORNING by itw « ELLINGHAM, PUBLISHED M.ouPBR YEAR IN ADVANCE. &it «red at the P'-sloffietat Decatur, Indiana as teoo«i<J-ciaH« mall matter OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. THEN AND NOW In a speech in congress the other day If. Garratt, of Tennessess he ferred to several ‘prosperity” speeches made in congress two years ago by republican who declared, that "Republican administration i means prosperity—Democratic success i means disaster." Chas. B. Landis was.! bandied as follows: "I tiemember, sir, with what dramatic force the gentleman fijotnliidiana • displayed here** picture of ’Coxey’s army of unemployed when they’s’urrounded this capitol in 1894, This came to my memory with peculiar force the other day when I read that the unemployed—l t.hink of the city of St. Louis —were counseling the wis- . dom of another mar.ch upon this capital and were in communication with Coxey with a. viejv of having him lead them. • 'The gentleman from Indiana boldly staked his case and* th e case of his party upon tile condition of prosperity and the proposition that the ‘Dingley bill had done the business.’ His Speech was predicated upon a sign which lie saw in the city of Cincinnati a he .came on here that year, banging in front of Sn employment bureaus office, in large letters: 'All kinds of work for’all ’kinds o 4 men.’ The Dingley bill ‘was doing the business . Mr. Chairman, 1 had occasion a short time ago to pass through Cincinnati ,and I regret profoundly to have to report that the Ijingley bill fe not doing the business n»w. It abides • with. us. and you gentlemen on thpt side abide with it. but that sign has passed away, instead, sir, what do we. hear frojn Cincinnati'’ .Senator Foraker of Ohio made a speech not long ago at a banquet in New York The papers reported him as saying. . among other things* cg**~ • “ ‘A few days ago an officer of one of the mercantile agencies of that city '\stated that there were on that, day, afssiQrding to their reports, 30,000 idle men in Cincinnati.' The gemlbjjjan fiom Indiana undertook to tell us have happened had that sign lre>njv been post ed anywhere Jn the United dur. ing the Cleveland panic tion. Some day when the gentleman choses he can tell us what would happen it it were posted now during the reoubliean nmcnaftt a • • f tau prubperny aamiristration. J do not think, sir, he can find finer nguage than he used then, and to save him the trouble I tfHl borrow it ana ten you now. It be — oet to music and sung from every • .bold cl ng* he flung to the gentleman from Illinois IMr. Rainey) that if Mr. Rainey had an unemployed man in big district, he, Mr Landis, would go home and get nim a good job at good wages within twenty four hours. Will the gentlean open an employment bureau now? Will he make good? Will he the job? If he will, Mr. Chairman. his name shall be set to music and sung- from every hilltop in the republic.’ Freight cars and engines representing an investment of $400,000,000 standing idle, and 30,000 idle men, the discharged crews of the idle equipment; sixty-five steam shovels belonging to the largest contracting firm in the south standing idle rusting in,the southern rains, and 25,000 men lately employed by that firm looking for other jobs. Is the Dingley bill doing the business?” JUDGE FOR YOURSELF New York,' which manages to gather in and keep most of the country's ready cash. Is sending dispatches to all of the newspapers intimating strongly that interior merchants should not be afraid to spend their money—providing they spend it in

' New York. For Instance, one dispatch !says; ‘‘Opinion is freely expressed by proi' prietors and managers of large houses I that the prosperity of the country is ' fast returning to its old level and that - j the retail merchants of the large cities and towns of the country need only a . | little more confidence to induce them , to place- their orders on the sstrle prev- . alent just before the panic.” ' But Boston is not quite so optimis- ■ tie. For instance, a dispatch from that city says: Stocks of cotton goods are begin- , ning to pile up in spite? d{ the running iof mills on short time. There is no improvement in demand at home [While the foreign market has proved |Wtifker than usual. It is understood i that southern mills are conferring in •j-New York, today with a view to joinjing New England in curtailment. The .wanutacturdrs say that to resume pn fuil time would be to invite a disastrous collapse of prices and a com-' plete shutdown id many mills for an indefinite time.” All of which would seem to indicate some confusion as to whether or not prosperity" is getting a hump on itself. In this .state Os affairs every fellow will have to judge for himself. There are six 'or seven republican printing ote,ces in Jay county equipped to do job printing. Yet Senator, •Hawkins weqt orver .to Muncie, to Cromer’s Observer printing office, to get hi* book (we suppose its the "Life and Political Adventures of ‘Uncle Nate!)’’ printed.- Ke has been, circulating .them jn Wells, Adams and other counties of the district but none in Jay county so far as t#e have been able to team. Maybe he doesn’t want his Jay county neighbors to, know just how popular he is for fear that 488 vote# which Farmer Weisel buried him with two years ago wculdn't-be a marker to what • 1 he would get next November in <sse he BIDS STRONG ENOUGH to get the nomination.—Portland Sun. The secretary of commerce and .labor issued a sweeping order to all commissioners d\jLni’gration inspec tors in charge directing them to confer with the police in their respective jurisdiction with a view to securing the "cooperation of tbe police and detective forces in an effort to rid the country of alien anarchists and criminals fajling within the law relating to deportation." As long as our country permits foreign immigration upon such easy terms, just* so long will tfie country be overrun .with such flannelmouthed blood reeking destroyers of our life and property. * • rfte state board of charities has rea Full report of the aid given tbe poor by township trustees'- (hiring the year 1907 from funds taxation. The reports show a total expenditure for this purpose of $227,304.71. frn. comparison with sums spent in some former years the record for 1907 is remarkably low. In 1891 the aid given the poor by the township trustees cost the public $560,000, in 1893 $511,006; in 1895. $630,000. Boss Cromer is a puzzle. He hasn’t said out loud whether or not he is going to be his own candidate for congress. Consequently he has the other candidates, or most of them, in hot water. Senator Hawkins, however, knows he has it cinched, because he has made a “Strong Bid.” He is. and always has been, on decidedly intimate terms with G. W. Cromer— he even had Cromer’s Muncie Observer office print his booklets—and h e is slated as the candidate provided Cromer decides to not be a candidate.—Portland Sun. One man offered to furnish Marlon county with boilers for a power plant for $15,000. Another put/in a bid for $21,000. The high bidder got the contract. A grand jury indictment now chargee that two commissioners' received a bribe of $3,800 in the transaci tion, and these two and the alleged ' briber are under arrest. Many other startling revelations are expected and a political upheaval in Marion county is as certain as anything can be that j has not already taken place.

It is estimated that this country, not counting the island possessions, is amply capable of supporting a population of fully three hundred million people without crowding. At this time there is less than a third of this number living within the confines of the forty-six states. This fact should be > conclusive evidence that there yet remains many opportunities for .the young • men and youth of today, and that the next half dozen gem rations will not need to concern themselves about thj? matter of finding something to do in the 1 way of gainful occupation. Industry, thrift' and genius can find today ample room for effort and .accumulation. In a word, thero are plenty of opportunities for all who. seek them out. —Muncie Herald. One of the Gould railroads has gone into the hands of '<& receive? and other lilies controlled by the same crowd are under suspicion. The gross earnings. of the road for-which a receiver has been appointed have averaged $6,500,000 annually and the net earnings haVe averaged •$!, 150.0(19. And yet, with suVh a showitig as this, the road failed to pay .intexesj. amounting to less than a half million dollars dun on 'its bonds. To outsiders this looks queer, but it is doubtless the old game es squeezing oiit some innocent investors or confiding creditors. Under the laws’ of Indiana all doo'rs, in school buildings, pubiic..or parochial, are required to swing outward. Violations of these laws subject,the. individuals responsible f»r failure to comply, to heavy’ penalties. Every one invested with, .".artiority in the premises ought to see to it that there are po infractions of tie law. The staje inspector of buildings is, now going from town to town to see that the requirements of the law are strictly complied with—South Bend Times. When you pay your taxes it wonlt hurt to remember that, among other things, the last legislature added $320,000 to the taxpayers’ burden bycreating new offices and increasing the salaries of old ones. The yearly cost of the state auditor's office alone was raised from $19,000 to ssl,ooo—other things were in proportion, and without reference to the needs of the state's business. ,TJie death of Andrew Hamilton,•fifehandler of the New York insurance companies “yellow dog” fund, recalls the fact that the republican national committee has not yet returned to the insurance companies the widows' and orphans’ money stolen by crooked officials and donated to the campaign fund in 1904. Hon. Robert W. Miers. of Bloomington, will presi<je»at the state convention and sound the keynote for <he Democrats. Bob Miers can sound keynojes, and they will be the sor,t that will kindle patriotism and pride in the breasts of thos e who believein the simple faith of democracy. The Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.) makes no effort to conceal the severity of the panic from which the country is suffering. On one phase of the panic the Inter Ocean says: "The panic of 1907 was in at least one aspect more severe than that of 1893 or that of 1873. In the earlier convulsions special kinds of currency commanded a premium. In the recent one any kind of currency that was tender for debts commanded a premium for more than six weeks. ‘‘How unusual this is where and when all the kinds of currency in use are known and recognized to be equal to gold may be judged from the fact that In England, through all trade reactions and financial collapses that have occurred, this condition has not arisen since the time of th e Napoleonic wars, nor in France since the war with Germany, and that even in the darkest days of the war the Paris premium for coin rose only once to 4 per cent, which was frequently paid in New York during November last. Cromer has not as yet broken the silence regarding his position in the Republican congressional contest. The

, convention will be held at Anderson ■ , in two weeks, on March 26, and if i j h e is going to make an announcement ■ one way or the other beforehan J. - an utterance should be expected from j him very soon. His immediate ad j risers believe he should make the j race, being of the opinion that he j could be victorious at the general elec . tion. Cromer can control the noaiina I tion if he desires. It is inferred that i he is deliberating over the chances of ' defeat or election before he announces his final attitude. Portland people complain tjiat Uncle i ' Nate Hawkins, candidate for congre.-. ? 1 has failed to Sistribute any df his ; 1 booklets in his home county. Just) 1 why Nate has’turned his home people ' flown in this maniter is hard to ex- j plain, as the book says some mighty | nice things about him,w hich would be news to his home people who have known him from the ground,up. After i reading the book people would wonder if it means t»he N. B. Hawkins they know. People are so hard to un- ' derstand in Jay county, you know. , Bluffton Banner. It is becoming more and ipore jnanifest to the people of the state that t the campaign managers of .the sf 1 'republican gubernatorial candidates are as cheerful a bunch of liars as ’ • ! over blossomed forth in Indiana, Their optimistic claims are enough ( to cause a circus bill, recognizing- its ( Inefficiency as a booster, to shrivel ob 1 the boards.—Fort Wayne News ’ I , (Rep.) . ,t The election of Congressman Dixon, j of North Vernon, as chairmap of the ( Democratic * concessional campaign < committee places him in a position of < ] conspicuous hoaor and responsibility. , And what is more, he is,by experience ( and ability, fully equipped to render , his party the most valuable sendee I throughout the campaign. • 1 _________ AT BRIDE S HO.ME | Last Night and a® Elaborate Wedding Supper Was Served ’ 1 i i The wedding of Mitt Mabel 1-l.rwiii . . and Robert hllison, solemnized at j , the home of the latter last night at , 8:30 o'clock was pretty in its ap- j pointments and the happy young cou- ; pie launch on the matrimonial horizon 1 under the most pleasant and favorable 1 auspices.

Mr. Allison and Miss Erwin represent two of the most estimable families in our city and the folk of Cardwell, Mo., can well be proud that they will reside in their town.

'kern a favorite; [Figured Out That Harmon s ( Nomination Would Be Good Politics i Washington. March 11—The drift of sentiment amon.t I of what is known as the Bryan F. cf the Democratic party is | of the nomination o. juaso .the Democratic ticket. Next to , imou more talk re nea. lof John W. Kern, of Indianapo.t . | riep I I than of any orne. vww vI quantity. . . • A formidable movement looking to Ithe nomination of Harmon isling. Some of CMr. P.hjano .loses I friends, upon whoqi he relies for coun-1 sei. have figured out to their own cem- j plete satisfaction that the nominatb'u , of Harmon would be the mo«t judtc , ious selection that could be triad 0 The | two reasons given for this ptefeie for Harmon are as follows:. 1. His nomination would tend <o j conciliate wjiat is known as the fleve- j land or gold Democratic wing of the j party. 2. Because of the bitter fight. among j Ohio Republicans, growing out.of the state’s Indorsem*”’ of a. Republican , presidential candidate, the nomination of hn Ohlona oh the Democratic national ticket mig.ht give that st-ate to the Democrats. Some of Mr.-Bryan'S most confidential advisers -are pointing outjhat he can afford to be magnanimous toward .the gold .Democrats who'have opposed, him in fo’rmer caibpaignst and who dominated the I>r»»cratlc national, contention of 1904. • The nomination of Harfnon, these men .-ay. would go a long way’toward healing tbe breach. The gpod politics of nominating an Ohto Democrat for yice prg-sident this year also is being urne’ strongly upon Mr. Bryan. Harmon has long had presidential ambitiorts. but it is believed thaf fie-would consent to rup for second place on tha ticket with Bryap. I o —— SOME BASE BALL DOPE. Jake Stahl, of the Highlanders, a<d Mike Donlin. of the-Giants, must be reinstated by the national cor. mission before they will be 'allowed to play in the championship season. This'announcement was made yesterday by President Ban B. Johnson, of the American league, when he returned from a ten days’ sojourn in New Y’ork an J Washington. This decision was reached by the members of the commission at meetings held in New York. It is expected, however, that both players will be given a o clean ticket when their cases are heard, as it has been intimated by members of the commission that both players should not be kept out of the game on mere technicalities. Stahl was se'd to th; Chicago club in%»o7 after he had Kt en on the market for some Siahl refused to play with Chicago and he was traded to Boston and then sold to New York. The commission will decide whether or not h. Naad a right to refuse to play with Chicago. —— ■* Os all the great American plays, the old historical play of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” has the strongest hold on people. It is beyond question one of the best plays ever written, hence the warm place it retains in the hearts of people of every clime. The great production that this American classic has ever had will be given at the opera house Decatur, o n Thursday, March 12, under the management of IA m. Kibble. Watch for the band concert in front of reserve sale at noon. _
