tPzznocraiic Jr r e33 PUBLISHED WEEKLY DEMOCRATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. I LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. 51.30 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13. The Indianapolis Sentinel and this paper still goes for a year at! 51.50. The time is alxiut up, but hustle in the coin and supply yourself. When the general assembly meets in January the country will be saved, so we learn from a few partisan journals of the republican stripe. John Sherman says he’s for McKinley, but he probably means that McKinley is his second choice. ! His first choice is now, as always, John Sherman. President Cleveland nor his private secretary have neither been interviewed for a week, so we presume that the former’s pulse beats with due regularity. The Fort Wayne Journal is doing some very suggestive ho iday advertising for some of the mer chants there. Besides that they are giving their patrons a newspaper that talks loud and means much. The Journal is a good paper, no mistake. Corbett and Fitzsimmons are going to fight. After that they both will take to the stage again. and the American people will jump over each other’s necks in order to behold these wonders in all their radiant splendor. Their motto : Catch the suckers while the sun , shines. Next conies Congressmen Bynum and Cooper who also signify their approval of the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. One by one their eyes . do open, and ere long we may ex , pect to vote our sentiments for this ; distinguished official just the same | as we do for any of the common ! herd. Let the band play. Washington correspondents tell of Col. Hughes East winning f 1,700 on the election last month and then ( after having the money laid down in his palm, he refunded it with a ( curtain lecture to his unfortunate: friends advising them never to bet. We don’t believe it—that is we don’t believe the refund was genuine. No one but Cleveland would , do a thing like that. The Cincinnati Enquirer, a val- ; ' liable republican organ of Ohio. ' can't see much in President Cleveland’s message tocougrcss. That’s ' Strange. They never tried to see i anything commendatory in Cleveland in or out of the president’s office but always used their “mudhooks” to the reverse, so what more could be expected of them now. It is surely too bad that the , Enquirer has a grievance at this time. Yes, it’s too bad. Clotube, rule is again being re- ' viewed in the United Statessenate, a song that is as aged that it wears Santa Claus whiskers. What they should do is to inaugurate it and pass a few democratic measures such as free iron and coal. It is very indefinite as to whether any thivg of the kind will be done, but ' we can't help but say what it should be. If there ever was a class of people on earth who do a first-rate class of monkeying, its the members of our United States ' senate. Now comes Senator Voorhees, the senior light of Indiana, who is preparing a bill for introduction . and adoption in behalf of labor. It ! provides for the amicable settlement of all disputes between employers and their employes. The senator hasn’t given the public any intimation as to what the provisions of the bill makes for the settlement of these disputes, but it is believed that his system will be entirely different from any that | have heretofore been introduced. Bully for Daniel! At Fort Worth, Texas, Friday! ci euing, an express train was h"ld up by a gang of looters and sllO,000 successfully taken out of the! expr< ss company’s safes. Since then organized bodies of officials h ive failed to find a hair of the , daring robbers, or a clint of the! missing coin, so present indications I point to a very happy Christmas ■ for these eorrallers of the filthy: lucre. May they be caught and! temporarily suspended from a criminal’s scaffold as an object lesson to others who yearn for illgot ten gain.

It will be an extremely unfortunate thing for the democratic party if the popgun bills—especially the one removing the differential tax from refined sugar—be not adopted at this session of congress, and it i is hardly probable that they can be passed without a cloture rule.-Sen-tinel. The Hammond Leader, a republican paper, very strongly indorses Roby in ail its forms, and insists that the association backing same are gentlemen of culture and means, and that Hammond has been financially benefited thereby very much. The exact amount paid for each and every line of those gushing editorials isn’t known, but expect it’s enough to justify him in his own opinion. It is all talk and it sounds funny too, to hear a few republican newspapers commenting upon the probable passage of an anti-pass law, bv our next legislature, such a law would make it a finable offence for any public official to except a pass from any railway corporation. When a republican body of law makers pass such a law you may know beyond any doubt that the moon is made of , green cheese. Its real funny. Many newspaper compliments have been going the rounds, com plimenting very highly the speech of Senator Turpie in th6 United Statessenate the other day upon the matter of electing senators by a direct vote of the people. It was a masterly production and squarely hit the nail on the head. It would be a source of much gratification to many people if such would be adopted, and let’s pray that it will. Mr. Senate, now is the appointed time. Lon't be bacKward. An Indiana girl was waylaid by footpads in Cincinnati the other day, and relieved of something less than 810,000, which amount she had just drew out of a bank. It seems almost beyond credence that any one in Indiana could draw much except their breath, but here is one instance and also one victim of Cincinnati thugs, an object lesson for others who may’ be foolish enough to own so much money at one t me. Had she secreted the money in her sock she would have been perfectly safe any’ place but in Cincinnati. Out township republican ex calamity newspaper shriekers are now busy turning over Marion county and Indianapolis, designating that corner-stool of republicanism as hoggish; meaning greedy we presume, for they surely- wouldn't call them filthy. The cause of all this is simply from the fact that: that county has a candidate for speaker of the lower house of our ' next general assembly, likewise has! nearly every other county in the! state. While all this notable chew-; iug is going ou we will bet a fish : hook that the speakership goes to Maiion county. “My position,’’ says Senator! Voorhees, “with respect to further! tariff legislation, must be deter mined by the question of revenue | for the government. I would be! glad, of course, to have sugar, coal ■ and iron, and indeed all other raw materials free from tariff taxation, I if such a thing were possible, but in the present condition of the | treasury who will dare to enter up on legislation making a still greater: deficiency in the public revenues? I want my name associated with no! deficiencies in the treasury, thereby I requiring government bonds to be! issued and sold. I pointed out as early as April last that the Wilson bill, as it passed the house, if it became a law without amendment, would result iu a large deficiency in the revenue of the government, and! Secretary Carlisle's letter was simply theofficial confirmation of what I had said. “The bill as it passed and became a law, provided beyond all question a sufficient amount of revenue, and the only reason why a deficiency exists in Ihe treasury arises from the fact that many of its important provisions, the income tax among others, have not yet come into operation. Their post ponement was made necessary by the opponents of the bill.” Touching the sugar question, Mr. Voorhees said: “For the present at! least this source of revenue cannot ■ be disturbed. It is a pleasure in this connection, however, to know that the price of sugar to the consumer has gone down instead of up, under the existing law ever since its enactment; plainly owing to the repeal of the wretched bounty tax, i and the extinction of three-fourths of the tax to the trust. The truth : is that a very extensive and valuable work of tariff reform has been : accomplished by the democratic I party, and the law of last August, ! f undisturbed for a reasonable time, ! will prove itself far better than ever ! its friends supposed it to be when w as enacted.
