musses nuur DEM > SATIC PRF" PUBLISHING CO LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDiTOR. 51.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, JULY 1' Cleveland’s three of a kind ought to be filled up by a pair, but then v* guess < le.v anil knows his ova business. They seem to have landslides in their parliamentary elections in England, just the same as they do in this country. ‘■Latest advices are that more than one million industrial workmen have received an advance averaging 10 per cent.” It is said that great regret will be eminent in Germany over the death of Prof. Rudolph von Roth, but that’s all we know about it. The Mercer county raised order surveyor has had a trial in court and been found guilty of fraudulently skinning the county out of $552. Chicago capitalists with some s-gtH.jhh) will locate several manu factories on a tract of land already purchased in the northern part of this state. The Xew Albany Press is a new exchange to this office, although the publisher. Joeian Gwin, is an old hand at the business. The paper is full of good things, which speaks much of the ability and hustle of its publisher. W. H. En lish of Itidi inapolis. is the author of a history of Indi ana that will shortly appear in public. A history of our state will be a valuable edition, and one that will be fully appreciated by every resident in the state. Harvey, the author of •■Coin,” and a Mr. Horr of Chicago, are now entertaining the public with a debating -b- >. which is being well patronized, and the comments are world wide, and the various conclusion' about the same dis tance. Benjamin Harrison has again been heard from. This time he very sensibly :. >■ only declines the nomination for the presidency, but says ab-.duteiy that he would not accept it. it tendeied him upon a wooden a-lel. The democrats intend to elect the next president and Mr. Harr- very wisely knows it W. J. Bryan, the Nebraska silver cyclone, add. -sed the citizen' of Fort Wayne lasi night upon the beneficial attributes of free and un limited Coinage of silver. The speaker is a brilliant talker and especially up n monetary quest ions. The - Journal, of 'Wayne, rather showed its narrow mind by reporting the attendance small and the crowd unattractive. Si it was br eight in th*-Sn Hi vat; circuit court by Indianapolis democrats to set aside the legislative apporti nment a. t passed by the renub •‘•a,' i-'winter. The judge held that th- act of ]-95 repealing the act of IS9I. as well as the act of 1891, reapportioning the state are both void, because, under the consr-f a; -.uportionment act can ’oe pa-- - 1 . < :ly every seventh year. This is the first biood for the detnmi*-s. and its only the beginning. Tra. ra ra boom de aye. The tin p ate industry is enjoy ing a boom under the reduced tariff that -h- ’ - no sigus of s »eking. On the first of the month there were in operation in thirty-one mills that made complete tin plate and seven more in process «»i erection. There were also four black plate mills and twenty uine dip ping mills which buy their black plates. The industry has been somewhat impelled this spring by the controversies over wages, but these are now generally settled on a satisfactory basis and work is active.—Sentinel. The Sentinel of last Saturday opened its lottery on a Monte Carlo regime, that has been ruling the roost at West Baden springs for a long time past. According to its illustrated illumination, gambling of all kinds and devices including the shell racket and all those sure winners, have been running in full blast, wi h lady or female cappers to work up the business. Things have been running at high hand, and many’s the poor sucker who has run up against a sure thing and came out the worst of it. The springs are a popular resort and the Sentinel is deserving of com mendatioa for exposing the cor ruption.

It took a preacher in Virginia the other day just forty seconds to marry a couple. That seems like mighty quick business, when you consider the length of time such a knot is binding. The English c<•nservativeß have routed the liberal party completely in the parliamentary elections now in progress. The ccmserva lives’ net gain is reported this morning at forty-four seats, with about one half the contests yet to come. Sir William Vernon Harcourt. leader of the liberals in the house of commons, was among the , defeated, and has been forced to accept the offer of a colleague to give up to him a “safe” or uncontested constituency. The republicans <>( Indianapolis took lessons from the last Legislature and at a council meeting Monday evening passed a gerrymander ordinance, which insures them a majority of the council members no matter what majority the democrats attain against them on the city ticket. A gerrymander a few years ago was an awful thing in the eyes of a republican, but when they administer it themselves they take to it like a goose does to the water. C- ndition of the iron and steel industry is a keen test <-f the gen-t-ral indu'irial outlook -f the conn try. Every mill iu the United States is either open or preparing to open, and mist of these capable of taking 1; :ge orders are working overtime. Importation of iron ore to meet the demand exceeding domestic supply in the market is greater than for a considerable period. It is a fact wfa.se significance will not fail of impression upon American sagacity that the Spanish-American iron company of Cuba has become a contributor to American manufacturers. The mines haie been worked with American capital. They lie in the southeastern part of the island. Revival of general confidence has stimulated demand for iron and steel for the manifold uses into which they enter, and with increases in wages and orders covering several years ahead the future of that industry in the United States is settled to the advantage of both capital and labor.—TimesHerald. It is wo-th noting that almost all the concerns paying the-e increased wages belong to the Glasnost highly protected under the old tariff, and that in many cases their proprietors were loud in their protestations that the Wilson bill meant ruin to their industries and -‘ motion to their workmen. S<>uie ■>f the more moderate were willing to admit, in confidential conversation, that they might struggle viong, but only by reducing wages to the “European level.” But wages seem to lie fast getting back to the McKinley level, and if the present pace continues, they will -a attain a greater height. Such a phenomenon would be entirely inexplicable from the protectionist's point of view, but it is exactly what the free traders predicted. The same thing happened in England. and f>r many reasons our manufactures will be much easier to convert than the English landed intero-t. It will :«e interesting to see how long the explanation of our present prosperity now offered ■:>y the protectionists, that it is due to auticipitions of a restored tariff, will c .ntinue to be urged. This explanation is worn pretty thin already and cannot stand much more of a strain: out we confess we cann -t imagine what substitute can be devisee.—X. Y. Post Ind. M nday - Sentinel shows a tw< columns comparison of the McKin ley and U ilson tariff laws, and how each result favorable and the ' contrary to the wage earners of the large ma mi factories of thecountry. Since last Augiisi a ten cent, increase in the wage- of several hutidied thousand workingmen. ■ while iu IS9I and l-.rj under the 1 McKinley prosperity, mills were close! and wages reduced. The ‘ McKinley business was a decided 1 failure, when it was to be a wage- ■ advancer, mill-opener and pros-perity-producer—so said the protectionists in I<«'. Instead it was • a wage-reducer, a mill closer and » panic producer, although it had e the help of other republican legis- • lation to produce the panic of 1 893. - The whole McKinley period ww- one i of wage reductions, strikes and Z riots. Wages were reduced once, e twice or three times in thousands 1 of mills. With one exception the s Fall River cotton mills, which ads vanced wages less than 10 per cent. . there was not. in the whole four • years, a wage advance worth menZ boning in any protected industry, e Wage reductions began promptly i and continued with increasing rapidity to the end of the period. Xot a week went by without its lists of reductions.
