Tr.c J 7223 PUBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMOCRATIC PRES' PUBLISHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. 51.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, APRIL 25. The Dunkirk World will move to Celina, Ohio, and turn itself into a democratic sheet. The city council are now taking action in regard to water works and we presume they are fortheomirg. The money question is taking the lead in political, banking, business and talking circles just now. Please pass the hat. Ohio republicans are now having a monkey aud parrot time between the McKinley ami Foraker factions, each wanting to drown the highdown aspirations of the other. Both ought to succeed. The Portland Commercial has improved its mechanical departments by the addition of a new gas engine and Sidney paper folder. The Commercial is a progressive institution and don't lielieve in doing anything by halves. Senator Ti rpie has came home from Washington, and Tuesday night at the Hendricks club rooms in Indianapolis made an address upon the ill effects of the Nichol son temperance law, the fruits of the late Indiana assembly. They now do say that Governor Matthews is an avowed candidate for the democratic presidential nomination next year The gover nor should be careful that hisboomlet don't catch its death of cold, in making its d but at so early a date. Harvey Tracey seeks public notoriety by tiling a suit for libel in the Allen circuit court, against the Fort Wayne Sentinel. The complaint alleges a false aud defamatory article against the plain tiff, which can only be adjusted by the payment of $5,000. Clyde V. Smith, county surveyor of Mercer county, Ohio, has absconded, and now the facts leak ■out that he is an embezzler to the tune of $3,000, having raised, vouchers, allowed him by the commissioners. for this amount. He leaves behind him a wife and two sma I children. He is said to have been a high roller, which is cause sufficient for his downfall and disgrace.

John Oscar Henderson is ne • gotiating for the purchase of the , Indianapolis Sentinel, and we have high flown hopes that he may succeed in the purchase. Mr. Hend erson retired a short time ago from the auditor of state's office, has friends all over the state and would more fully meet the approval of the democrats in the state than the papier under its present management. The Journal says that Mr. Harrison left the presidential chair leaving $121,000,000 in the treas ury. We wonder if that that is so, when it is known by everyone that the plates for a bond issue had already been made, and everything done but the printingof those bonds, but which was tided over until the present administration took charge. Instead of paying oft $296,000,000 of the public debt as the Journal would have you believe, but $136,-

970,275 was paid off during his four years reign in office. But how does that compare with the former record of Mr. Cleveland when he paid $1199,412,993 of the public debt. Besides, the surplus Mr. Harrson left in the treasury could have Iteen stuck in your eye, Mr. Journal, it was so small. With the death of James W. Scott the Chicago Times-Herald passes into other ownership and other control, and the worst of it is the policy of the paper will be changed from a dyed-in-the wool democratic papier to a protectionist sheet, which means that it will be republican. This will be sad news for many of its daily and weekly readers hereabouts, who for years have received their argumentative political religion from its editorial proclamations and utterances. Out of 1,000 shares of £I,OOO dollars each. 725 of them pass into the direct control of H. H. Kohlsaat, a former publisher of the Inter-* >cean at the windy city To fill the vacancy of the Times-Herald, there has already been filed uith the proper official the incorpioration of the Chicago Enquirer, which is being backed by a capital stock of $1,000,000. Politically the paper will be democratic from teeth to toe nails.

Governor Matthews is an avowed bi metallist in all the word implies, and in an interview thus registers himself. He says “the people are beginning to look with no little doubt and some alarm upon the continued use of the terms ! of -sound money,’ ‘silver mine owners' and ‘international mono tary conferences' in dismissing the ( treatment of the financial problem. J The belief is growing that the gold monometallist is an uncompromis- ; ing and as selfish as the so-called , silver monometallist could be; that , if the free coinage of silver by this < country is to the advantage of the , owner of silver mines it is equally to the benefit of the citizen who ; holds aud ships gold interest bear 1 ing coupons to have a single gold < standard adopted. “The belief isalsogainingground that there is too much insincerity , in the talk about international conferences, when no earnest, decided i steps are taken to bring this con- , ference about, and that it is only ■ used to kill time—a mere makeshift. It cannot be denied a con . ference would be a great thing for • the commercial relations of the world and our own count ry too, , could some plan agreed upon. I j further believe that an honest, determined effort should be made to hold thisconference, that the United States should t:tke the initiative in < this matter and demand and insist that this conference should lie held ' and not ask it as a concession. > They say that we, a great nation , with as great, if not greater, inter- 1 ests at stake than any other, should ( hold back waiting for an invitation J from others to join, is preposterous and indicative of insincerity on our ’ part, if the conference will provide > the solution of our troubles and restore prosperity. ••At this conference the United States should go as the sincere;, friend of silver and a positive de- - maud for its restoration. No hap ‘ t pier or more patriotic step could be t taken toward the settling of this * question than a positive and eni- g phatie announcement by our goveminent through the powers that a be that it would never be a party v nor give its consent to have silver J stricken from the money of the I world, destroying one of its pro- i ducts and a great source of wealth. If England blocks the way leave < her out, and enter an agreement “ with the other governments. If all ( fail let the United States adopt the - policy which will lie just to all her people. To the banking interest there is but little doubt that the ‘sound money’ craze means the gold I standard alone, but this interest comprises but a sma'l part of our citizens. We are a nation of farmers, workingmen, manufacturers and business men.’’
