Tr.. G re 22 PUBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMOCRATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. 61.30 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6. Governor Matthews is again paying his attention to Roby, and it is safe to say that be will come out ou top and three in a hill. Andrew J. Statebake of Randolph county, wants to be speaker of th.- next Indiana house of represenla ives. What are we all com ing to T The fifty-fourth congress is now in session at the national capital in Washington. Business should l>e their watch word until March 4— after that they won't have any. A new constitution is being talked of for Indiana. The idea is right at the heels of the apportion-' meul schemers, and for that reason is receiving a reasonable amount of favor in their eves. Several of our people are now wondering how a street commis sioner can be elected without re-\ ceiving a majority of all votes cast at said election. Mayor Quiuu I could earn considerable gratitude by due explanation Come, Bart, cough up. Senator Turpie will introduce a bill in this session of congress favoring the election'of United States senators by r the popular vote of the people. The bill will be introduced at an early date. This sentiment is growing and becoming quite popular, and perhaps soon will be : a sure enough reality. Much hair pulling is just now going on over some of State Geolo I gist Blatchley's appointments. It seems that his family connections are all being cared for, an uncle at Terre Haute getting the fattest and juiciest, while a nephew and fortyleveuth cousin come next. Such business ability is something re. markable, and the state geologist is entitled to most any kind of a red blue ribbon. It has been long ago admitted and proven that the disastrous financial stringency and panic was nothing less than a souvenir of republican class legislations of a uumber of years. It will be “the same thing over again” should they be permitted to remain in power long enough to clutch the thr at of the weakling masses for the benefit I of the many gigantic trusts, which that party have weaned from suckling infants to developments of con trol and rule. They should be set on. The on-coming legislature will be petitioned by both the temperance people and the saloon keepers, aud the fact is eminent that the august members thereof will find themselves entangled between the devil and the deep sea. The tempera :ec element’s desire is to practically destroy the liquor traffic, while the saloon ists demand more scope and greater privileges. Now is a time for this God loving morality party to distinguish themselves. M ill thej T do it? It will be hardly true. The most sanguine individual in the state of Indiaua is Mr. Everett, chairman of the republican central committee of Allen county. Under his management the g. o. p. of Allen county made extraordinary gains at the recent election. This has so encouraged and elated Mr. Everett that he now lays the flat faring unction to his soul that with lwo years more of hard work he i can wheel the Gibraltar of dem ocracy into the republican column! Mr. Everett will find himself a woefully disappointed citizen when he receives the election returns from old Allen two years hence.— South Bend Times. The president’s message was transmitted to congress Monday, and is a plain, straightforward document, dealing with the business of the government for a year past, as well as its present condition with a few recommendations delivered in his usual plain but impressive manner and way. Among the recommendations offered was one on the bond issue. lie hasn’t moved a notch on the tariff question, reiterating his former well known ideas. He favors the passage of bills for free iron and free coal as well as the removal of the differential duty ou relined sugar. The message takes up thirteen col umns of closely printed matter, all of which will be found on the inside of this paper.

Senator Voorhees delivered a speech in the senate Tuesday, aud amo g other things advised his fellow democratic senators to not precipitate any factional fight but to work harmoniouslyaifd unitedly. He paid some attention to the difficulties during the last session aud topped the thing off by saying that although the present tariff bill wasn't satisfactory to him. yet he saw no suitable way by which it could besatisfactorily adjustedduring the three months of the present session. The speech is said to have had considerable effect upon his listeners, and while many disagreed with him yet the general opinion was that he was correct. The “pop gun” bills should lie passed, and the senate should buckle on their armor for business. The interstate commerce com mission reports that there are eighteen countries which in whole or in part own and opeiate their railroads, viz: Argentina, Aus-' tralia, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cape of Good Hope, Chili, Denmark, France, Germany, I Guatemala, India, Japan, Norway, i Portugal, Russia and Sweden. Ten j neither own nor operate them, viz:' Columbia, Great Britain and Ire-1 land, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United I States and Uruguay. Greece, Hol- j land and Italy own their roadsand | do notoperate them, but lease them ! out to private companies. The cost j of freight carriage per mile is in | Great Britain 2.80 cents per ton per mile, in France 2.20; in Germany 1 64, and iu the United States 1 cent. Ou the face of this showing it does not appear that the farmers of the United States could gain any thing by government ownership.! —Sentinel. The republican members of the Indiana legislature are having a big time meeting at Indianapolis and airing their mind. upon various matters of legislation to comebefore them at their “meet” in January. They have given out word that the school book law and fee and salary law will both stand the blunt and will not be repealed by them. This is encouraging, for these two are among the prides of a democratic record. However, what they’ saynow and what they will do are two separate and distinct things. They talk something of a constitutional convention and many other things which remains only to be seen when they meet for business in January. Smiley Chambers has an apportionment amendment for consideration, I and it is safe to say that nearly every one will have a private snap j of their own, which when it comes I to action will cause many hairs to stand where none doth now appear. ■ , Applications for positions are as > numerous as cow piles on a summer’s day, a list of which would make a column in any newspaper. Such is life in a republican state. — - - The sugar baron, Havemeyer, makes the following statement after perusing President Cleveland’s timely suggestions upon the sugar question : “If one will fairly and dispassionately consider the piesident’s recommendation about sugar, it will become apparent that it comes down to this: ‘The sugar company has taken action, the result of which is to deprive temporarily of work 25,000 persons employed in’the various industries dependent upon the refining of sugar, together with the members of their families. I recommend such action as to deprive those persons of work | permanently. If the industry is languishing, the proper course is to destroy’ it.’ “There are some things which can be established through a demonstration. A comparison of the duty put by the tariff bill upon various articles will show that while the maximum protection accorded ito sugar is 5 per cent., other and more favored articles receive pro . i faction up to 40 per cent, and 50 | per cent. “Why this discrimination should be made against a large number of persons who hold the stock of the company and are employed in its refineries, it is impossible to say. They protest against it. The answer to this protest in the president’s message is as the present protection is inadequate it ought to be removed altogether. “Reasonable legislative aid requires that the sugar industry shall be treated as were other important industries. If this is done the industry need not languish and thousands of discharged workmen will have remunerative employment. “The country has already pronounced upon the mode in which the last congress dealt with the interests of workingmen. The presi-I dent apparently has not learned the lesson. It ought not require much time for Borkmeti to appreciate that the president in a bid for personal popularity is willing to strike a death blow at their interest.”
