J'rsza PVBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMtX'KATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. f 1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, MAY 2. May 30—Decoration Day. A t>en of counterfeiters has been unearthed at Canton, Ohio, and among the number corralled is J. R. Michener, a prominent political light of Ohio. So the story goes. The Coffins who wrecked the Indianapolis National Bank during the panic in 1893, will be given a new trial in the federal courts, in May. The president of the defunct institution is serving a nine years sentence at Michigan City. Senator Daniel, the tall syca m ire of Indiana, publicly squares himself for Governor Matthews for presidential target timber next year. Chairman Taggart seems to think the boom is tight, as well as Jerome Herff, the gigantic kicker from Peru. D. W. Souder, the wandering pilgrim of Allen county, who went to Cape Town, South Africa, and never came to his senses until he reached that place, has returned. He reached Fort Wayne today, and will make glad a wife, family’ and an innumerable number of friends. The Huntington county demo crate have organized a Jackson League club, and J. Fred France has been selected as its president. Jim si ems to be a forthcoming commodity worth mentioning. Here's hoping that he may ascend to some higher presidential possibility at some later stage of political action. Roby racing will continue the ' summer through without fear or molestation. Every thirty days they will simply change the name ' of the association and thus evade ' the law. What mockery this is. : and what a shame it is too. that a ' legislative body of law makers will ’ not make laws that cannot be tech nically evaded. 1 The silver craze is still on with a vengeance and just where the s frsky colt will terminate itself, is ■ somewhat difficult at this moment ' to intelligibly relate. One thing 1 is sure, there will be no halt in the ' matter until it has lieen given a fair 1 trial, and ve guess that is about ' the surest way of terminating upon ‘

its good or evil qualities. It looks very much as though the next president of these United States will have to lx- a free and unlimited coinager. and it would seem too that a number of statesmen the country over are taking time by the forelock, and are getting into the band wagon, with a view that the early bird catches the worm. Let's see now u hat we shall see. Se« eetary of State Owen an nounces that he will omit senate bill No. 297 from the published acts of the recent legislature. This is the Holler fish bill. It makes it unlawful to take any fish from any of the lakes of the state between the first day of April and the fifteenth day of June of any year. This bill did not pass the house, but, by mistake, it was enrolled as if it had passed, was signed by the speaker and by the lieutenant-gov-ernor. The journal of the house shows that it received but seventeen votes in that body. The attorneygeneral recently advised the secretary of state that the law should be inserted in the printed acts, but the secretary prefers to omit and open the way to test the questions involved in court, if any one cares to do so. Secretary Ctwen sayjsthat if anj- one questions his action he will be glad to have mandate proceedings brought against him. Dunn’s weekly review of trade puts on a very favorable opinion of the prospects of business, and with it comes a favorable increase in prices. Wheat has advanced three cents and predictions startle us that by July wheat will bring one dollar a bushel. Everything seems to bustle with a tendency of pros perity. The financial depression will soon be known to us only in history, a fact that will be relished by every one who is working on a small capital. These are the people who suffer when times are hard and money close. The people with stupendous bank accounts only grapple it the harder and by inches pinch the little sardines closer in the box. But when business opens these little sardines work hard, become independent behind a comfortable roll of “free silver,” > which by various interchanges roll the ball for a revival in business. The little fish are again on top, and let’s hope it will ever remain so.

The cyclone has been getting in its work in Kansas, where ten persons were killed, twice that number injured, besides unnaccountable injury done to property, crops, etc. This is evidence that the cyclone is the same terriffic cyclone that we use to read read about. The: Tribune, a republican newspaper at Detroit. Mich.. furnishes a solution for the money question, which is seeming to aggravate the public mind to no little extent at the present time. The Tribune want* a new dollar to lie of proportionate parts of gold and silver. The article quotes the declarations of the republican national platforms of 18>8 and 1892, in 'favor of bimetallism and points out the danger of a practical silver monometa 1ism through the throwing open of the mints to unlimited coinage. It calls attention to the difficulties and delays which would attend the negotiation of an international compact. and questions the successful maintenance of a parity of gold and silver by that means in any event. It calls upon the party to fulfill its platform pledges by formulating, without delay, a practicable scheme for bimetallism especially in view of the threatened disintegration of parties and the drawing of new party lines, with gold monometallism on one side and silver monometallism on the other. Continuing, the Tribune advo cates the composite dollar as a measure easiest to effect and w ith the least disturbance to business of any plan suggested. It proposes: [ ‘‘That all existing coinage laws be repeoled and that there be enacted a law enacting a new American dollar, which would be the sole standard coin of the nation, the > dollar to be composed of 3061 grains of standard silver and 12 9-10 grains of standard gold fused , together and struck into a handsome coin about the size of the present half dollar. The coin would 1 j be absolute staple value for, in case i of disparity at any time in the com- J mercial value of gold and silver. ' what was lost by the depreciation of one metal would be made up by the exactly corresponding appreci ation of the other. As to the ques- i J tion whether the proposed dollar would be available for export the t Tribune replies: “It would not be ! necessary to export the coin while uncoined gold could be procured, ‘ which be just as available. If at ; any time it became necessary to separate the gold from the silver it i could lie done at the United States ' mint at a cost of less than 1 per cent. This very cost would be a protection against the exportation ’ of coin while uncoined bullion was obtainable.” ' i.
