' J. (JPr3~3 PUBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMOCRATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. I LEW G. ELLIHGHAM, EDITOR. *1.50 PER LEAK IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20. The lower house of congress will ■ adjourn next Saturday fortheholi- j day recess, convening for business again Jan. 3. Senator Voorhees says he is | for free coinage of silver, but isn't : ready to talk about it. That is; rather indefinite. Some fellow has visited the home ' of Benjamin Harrison and now de- I clares that the ex-president is not' a candidate for president. It's truly amusin'. < i iNGREssMan-elect, George I (V. Steel has invited all the new Indiana congressmen to visit him on the 27th inst. Wonder what he wants to work now. The first ears over the new road from Findlay to Fort Wayne passed i over the line Sunday, conveying the officers of the company on an • inspection tour. Business begins this week. -- - i Voorhees is said to be'ferninst ( the Carlisle financial bill, and he be- ; ing chairman of the committee on ; finance, it makes the chances for i its passage as slim and uncertain < as polities general}’ is. , President Cleveland, accompanied by a small party of hunting j ] sports, is in South Carolina on ah little recreating and hunting expe-; i dition. We mention this as a mat-! i ter of news to our readers. 1 - The Fort Wayne Journal offers j ten dollars reward for the appre- j hension of thieves who they say ( have been stealingjournals in var- t ious parts of the city. They—the . boys—don’t want much on thish earth. Now if it had been the 1 . Democratic Press it would have 1 been different. ( The voice of Senator Turpie is t becoming quite frequent in the senate; this time it is against the Nicaraguan bill, which the senator ( unmasks as a gigantic scheme, such ] as some times even come up in the I ; national halls of congress. We i supposed every thing was iuuoeeutl} ■ fair there. There is some talk of extending ! civil service into the revenue and I. custom offices. What they ought , to do is to fire the whole shooting J match over the back fence and bury ( it deep into oblivion. It is all right to have ability with all these : offices, but the party in power can t generally find knowledge suffieent ] for the ordeal. An unofficial report makes the i ] color of the next house of congress < at 244 republicans, 104 democrats j and 6 populists, a change that is | sufficient to make any democrat feel > ( real bad away down in his boots. J, But it won’t last long, and two i j years hence the democrats will be I. in it so big you won’t know there I' ever was such a solemncolly funeral. | Five natural gas gushers with , a capacity of 5,000,000 feet per day have just come to life in the vicin-1 ity of Kokomo. It is now time for ■ our natural gas inspector to make j another report upon the sure fail- j ; ure of gas in the Indiana fields. | Indications point to as much or ■ more gas than we ever had, and if. we only had what’s been wasted i during the past few years, wc would have enough to last a life | time beyond any doubt. Judge Woods has sentenced. Debs to six months imprisonment,; the sentence being given upon an ■ indictment against Debs for some I • law violation during the great railroad strike of last summer. The I judge in delivering the verdict j made a full explanation of the i history of the case together with the law upon such violations. The case i has been taken to a higher court I tribunal but it isn’t likely that the: decision will be changed any. The house of David Hart, the father of the feindish murderer of the Good children at Paulding, | Ohio, was dynamited th/‘ other; night with a view of blowing the j house sky high and the inmates with it. The attempt was unsuc- > cessful, however, but since then | the family have taken refuge in a : more congenial sphere. The outraged people over there don’t seem I to be in the least pacified, and if we were the Harts we would give the place the cold, hard, everlasting shake.

Remember there is but one more week in this year, and also but one more week of the Sentinel offer which now goes w ith this paper for si "o. ('cme a running while the 1 iron is hot. The recommendations of the i president in his message to congress s favored free iron, free coal, as well i as the repeal of the differential duty on sugar. What those salaried sen<>turs should do now is to see that such is made into laws. It is I what the people wanted in 1892 and they want it yet. Come, come, gentlemen; either do something or I get off the pot. The Indiana legislature willcoui vene in regular session in the capitol building at Indianapolis on the i first Thursday after the first Monday in January, 1895, the same be- ' ing January 10. John T. Kelley, i the representative from thiseounty, has very kindly consented to furnish our readers with a weekly letter relative to the doings of this body of law makeis, so oui readers may fix their mouths for everything up to date. It is now believed that the lower house of congress will pass the Carlisle financial bill, or a bill on the currency taken from his plan. So I many people differ upon a money system that we hardly know whetherit is a good bill or whether it isn’t, but Carlisle being an old newspaper man, we are greatly inclined in its favor, for you know newspaper men are generally most always just right. What we want though, is a money us poor devils ean get our fingers on with as much ease and grace as possible. ----- The republican state senators , have had another meeting at In- ' nianapolis, this time to discuss a fee and salary law which they seem ; | to favor, the same to be based upon ' the population of the counties. The 1 counties they have divided into | thirteen classes, and the salaries run from 81,125 to 813,500 for clerk, $1,225 to 814,700 for audi- ' tor, 8050 to 88,000 for recorder, 81,000 to 812,000 for treasurer, and 81,000 to $12,000 for sheriff. The ■ schedule is based entirely upon the population. This would give the clerk in Adams county 82,150, auditor 82,325, recorder 81,250, treasurer 81,900 and sheriff 81,900. South Carolina is going into fee and salary reform in away that j must make the l air of officials I stand on end. The house of repre- ■ sentatives has passed a bill reduc- ■ ing the salary of the governor from 83,500 to 82,500, judges of supreme and circuit courts from 83,000 to 82,000, state officers from 82,500 81,200, except the treasurer who I gets 81,800. But most surprising i of all, the legislators have reduced their own pay from 85 per pay and 10 cents mileage to 83 per day and 5 cents mileage. The recent upsetting of the Indiana fee and salary law will give the coming legislature an opportunity to show a similar spirit of self-denial, but it will hardly imitate the South Carolina i statesmen. —Sentinel.

The republican members of several of the senate committees are still consulting as to legislation. The committee on legislative apportionment is making headway. The bill which Senator Wishard has prepared will probably be approved before the members of the committee go home. The committee on benevolent institutions is listening to suggestions to the superintendents of the several institutions. It has been suggested by Senator Shively, of Richmond, that the two state prisons might be put under the management of a single board composed of four members—two republicans and two democrats —and the plan has been received with favor. li has also been suggested that the insane hospitals might also be managed by one ■ board. “It is absolutely untrue and without the slightest foundation,” ’ said Senator Voorhees in reply to ian interrogator} as to whether or ! not he intends to deliver a free silver speech at this session of con grees. “I notice that a story has beea persistently circulated through ■ out the country in the newspapers that I intend to address the senate - some day during this session on the i question of the free coinage of silver and that my speech is already in type. This statement is utterly j false in every particular. I have never contemplated delivering such i a speech at this session and shall ; not. lam in favor of the free and i unlimited coinage of silver in this | country, but I believe that if we can induce the other great powers i of the earth to enter into an interi national agreement with us establishing a fixed ratio that it will be ; best for us to defer action for awhile upon the question. I have hopes that this may be brought about.”
