Zlemocrailj 12222 PUBLISHED WEEKLY. KMOCRATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. 41.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, MARCH 21. President Cleveland was 58 years old Tuesday, and he wasn't fishing either. iNDlANAPOLisdeinoeratsnow talk of Franklin Landers as their candidate for mayor. Sunday was St. Patrick’s day iu the mornin’, and the same was duly observed by many wearers of the green. The president has appointed Joseph R. Herod, of this state, to be secretary to the legation of the United States to Japan. The late congress voted away more prosperity than any other that ever existed.—Journal. De fine youjself. How much are you loser by this notorious congress, and how do you expect to regain the “long lost’’ by supporting the g. o. p.’s. The public credit is all right liecause it is based upon the fact that the republican party is certain to be restored to power in 1896.—Journal. Just as much truth in that asser tion as there was iu your great production of windy lies about the Press bill allowed by the commis sioners. The very party that has forever howled about “mob rule iu the south,” is the same party who furnished the thugs to pounce upon the governor’s secretary while he was delivering a message to the legislature. The next time you hear any one talking about the mob rule of the south, you are at perfect liberty to get a gun. The governor’s private secretary is recovering from the internal and external injuries received from the hands of the thugs in the legislature, upon the eve of their adjournment. It’s too bad that Green Smith didn’t chaperone the sec re tary upon this occasion, and then the fur that would have Hew would have been worth talking about. Some “two nicked” republican journals now try to blame Governor Matthews for his delay in returning! with his veto the custodian bill, which caused such a disgraceful amount of rukery at thecloseof the legislative sessio i. Such nerve is p enomenal. That body of law makers had sixty days to make that bill a law and why did they not do it! How do the taxpayers like it! For further particulars see allowances by the commissioners. If they have them published iu a paper that has a circulation you can see them—Journal. Take one of DeWitt’s Early Risers, you need something. The Press pays as much postage as does the Journal, and we don’t offer a horse and buggy as a premium to our subaerilters either. A sure cure for rheumatism has now come to the front in the name of Munyon’s Rheumatism Cure. The Fort Wayne Journal has 5,000 vials of the cure on tap, and will distribute it among the rheumatic Samaritans there, and report the success of the cure. Its projectors claim wonders for the new remedy, and if it proves up its reputation there will be rejoicing among humanity in general. The Nicholson bill is not yet the law nor won’t be until some time in June or thereabouts. It did not contain the emergency clause and consequently only goes into effect after all the acts of the legislatuie have been printed and bound, and the various auditors in the state acknowledge receipt thereof. The bill will not become a law until after these constitutional provisions have been complied with, and that may continue it until August. The big shoe strike in England has brought out some interesting statements in regard to the tariff question. The British employers claim that, although American wages iu the shoe business are about twelve times as great as those in England, the Americans can make shoes cheaper than tney can. This is exactly in line with Mr. Blame’s statement in regard to the difference of wages in the cotton manufacturing industry. It will be found generally that where American wages are materially higher than English wages it is due to the increased product of the American workingman or his longer hours of service.—Sentinel.

What a Lying Blunderbuss. Last week in a quarter of a column dedicated to the advertising of our business, the Journal editor told enough lies to forever capsize his hypocritical soul, and make his chances mighty slim for playing in the band when St. Peter sounds the resurrecting bugle. The article re ferred to was one iu which the Journal editor takes to task a bill presented and allowed the Press by the commissioners at their last session. The tale of woe liegins by saying that “never liefore has such an enormous bill been presented and allowed:” lie No, 1, That “the bill was for publishing the rate of taxation and delinquent tax last;” lie No. 2. “That the Lili as presented was 1447;” lie No. 3. “That the bill was cut to ¥417.10;” lie No. 4. “That had the bill been cut in the middle it then would have been enormous;” lie No. 5. We could go on naming as many more about the monopolistic corporate control of this sheet, but they have no bearing upon the legality of the charges in our bill. In the first place the bill is not the largest ever presented the board. It is also untrue that the bill was only for publishing the rate of taxation and delinquent tax list. They were in the bill but the charges for them were le-s than one-fourth of the entire bill. It is also untrue that the bill was cut, for it was not reduced a cent. All of these facts the Journal editor could have found out, bad he cared to be honest about the matter. If he will walk , his lazy avoirdupois over to the auditor's office he can see the commissioners records, as well as the ■ bill filed and sworn to by the editor lof this paper. We don’t mind being taken to task about anything we do for the public, but we want our criticisers to have a few drops of honesty alwut them at least. Good evening: come again, “Henery.” A Republican Airing. The Indiana legislature is dead, dead as a mackerel. There is no weeping nor wailing nor gnashing iof teeth; the people are not going about the streets clothed in sackcloth and ashes. There will be no burnt offerings or fattad two headed calves scritieed for its delivery from purgatory. It was not conceived in sin, but it had a narrow escape from dying iu ignomy. It was a creature of the people, but it did not subserve the wants and desires of its creators. I It was intended to lie fashioned after the image of its makers, but but some of the clay slipped in the potter's hands and the molds were not properly filled. It was not such a bad legislature but what it could have been worse. The prayers that were daily sent up for its salvation from both sides of the state capitol never ascended higher than the dome of that maguiliicent structure. We are very sorry that its last minutes on earth were given up to a riot, for this is i the strongest kind of evidence that |it desired to die with its boots on.

Our legislature was not cunningly or mightily constructed. The state of Indiana would have been just as safe in thehandsof the PanAmerican congress of Shelbyville, and. for future use, we move that the legislature be dispensed with and the affairs of state be placed with the all-Americans. Our commonwealth would then be safe. As to material facts what did the legislature do! The answer is hollow as an echo. It introduced over eleven him-1 dred bills and passed about half of them. Is it possible that our dear \ little state has been living all this time in the midst of these sins of omission ard commission! Five hundred new laws! What aw eked gang we are. Xo wonder we have prize fights, yet nothing was done to suppress them. The gentlemen composing this grand, body of nothings coquetted with the pretty girls that infest Roby and shook their fists at the old blear eyed bums that they expect to ‘"handle” at the next election. They were afraid to go down in the basement of the capital when they were dry because the people were upstairs with a good-sized ; club in their hands. They monkeyed with the benevoi lent institutions and were whipped back into line by the party news- ■ papers. They voted extra pay to ■ the clerks, even if the Roby bill was stolen. They investigated different things and never found out anything. Indiana would have • lived, would have prospered, would have continued along the line of progress and prosperity just the same if the legislature that died last night had never been born. There will be no mourners except that portion of the corpse that cannot earn 95 per day at home. It will go hard with them. We have

. this to lie thankful for, that while surrounded by death we are still I- alive. The flag still floats even if g the county seat of Jackson county r is liable to lie changed.—Shelbye ville Republican. s i—--11 A Deserved Tribute. e Last Monday at noon A.N. Mar- ** tin ceased to represent the eleventh 1 congressional district of this state ®■ in congress. Never within its his--1 tory has this district been so ably ' represented as it has in the past six ‘ years by Mr. Martin, In all that 1 time he has not committed an act ! of which either he or his party e need be ashamed. He has made a s record as a public servant which he can point to with pride, and chai ; 1 lenge the most biased partisan to examine without any fear of detri--1 ment to his character as a states man and public official. When the great republican wave swept over ’ the country last fall it found him " within its path and he was tele- ‘ gated to the rear, an innocent victim to the rebuke which he took no • part in bringing about. p He was defeated by a man who • has not even the confidence of the s party that elected him. George W. Steeledid nothingto distinguish ’ himself when he was in congress r , before and nothing is expected of 1 him this time. His name is synonymous with “nothing,” and his party 1 put him up against A. N. Martin ’ simply to fill out the ticket, for ( they did not even hope to defeat the man against w hom they could ' bring no charge of incompetency. But the jieople were exasperated with the action? of certain demo cratic senators, and as ever they held the whole party responsible ' for the misdemeanors of a few. ■ The many friends in Wabash county of the distinguished ex congressman return him thanks for his efficient service and hope that prosperity may follow him into prij vate life. It is safe to say that the i ; eleventh congressional district will never again be represented by a i more capable, painstaking, conscientious statesman than Augustus N. Martin of Bluffton —Wabash Times, The Tri-Weekly Courant published at Delphos by E. B. Walkup, was nineteen years old Satur day, and it says it will continue to resurrect itself three times a week . as it has in the past. The Courant j seems to be just about all right.
