Dsmocratij cPress PUBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMOCRATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. 51.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2<i. Thu Wabash Daily Times is a new paper at Wabash." The state fair last week is said to have been the best and largest attended, since its inauguration. The Atlanta exposition grounds consist of 1S Q acres, and the total expenditure of the enterprise is half a million dollars. Governor Matthews’ address at Chickamauga sounded very big, and in keeping with the executive of so great a state as Indiana. The Courier at Evansville, Gil Shanklin'- paper, eelebiated its semi centenial by an extra illustrated edition last week. It is one of the best papers in the state. The Indiana editors leave Louis ville October " for a week at the Atlanta exposition. It is safe to predict a pleasant, enjoyable trip to these devotees of business in the newspaper and educational lines. The rot being published about the pat iky condition of the United States treasury, is simply the handiwork of political traitors, who want to see no good only from their own party. Such business is too small to talk about. There is no necessity for another issue of bonds. This thing of issuing bonds to keep up a gold reserve in idleness is rank imposition on i's face. Use the reserve, we say. The government is good for any debt it ha-, or may make. The Indiana conference was in session at Indianapolis last week and ov<r Si nday. Among other things they continued the Rev. William E. Hinshaw as a member of conference. Their statistical report shows great work done. General Hairison addressed them. The sentiment seems to be growing in favor of shorter campaigns. This is right. There is nothing that breaks in upon business with more disastrous results than a political campaign—unless it be a republican money panic. There is no use in consuming months cf time to settle such a difficulty. A short and effective campaign brings better results and pleases the business men of the country better. The Press deeply regrets the fact that the management of county affairs does't meet the high-tlown approbation of the Journal editor. It is indeed too bad. If he had been half as considerate in telling the truth as he was in making accusations, comparisons, “rakeoffs,” etc,, he would have taken the bills filed at the auditor’s office, investigated them, and then turned the world over with the illegalities unearthed therein. What per cent, he gets for stabbing the Press we know not and care less, besides we wish him all the glory he can possibly muster out of such peanut newspaper allegations.

Can’t Loan Money. Judge Howard of the supieme court handed down an opinion last Thursday in the ease of the Winchester electric light company against George W. Veal, which will attract a great deal of attention from county treasurers, clerks, township trustees and other officers. The judge decided that it is a mis application, under the law, for a public officer to lend public funds in his own interest. The opinion also held that no such officer can sue to recover money thus illegally loaned. Veal was a con ity treasurer and loaned , a sum of money to the electric light ■company, taking the notes of the company as security. For some cause the notes were not taken up at the proper time and Veai brought suit to recover the amount loaned by him. The court decided ! that inasmuch as he had no right to loan money which did not be long to him he had no right to bring suit for the amount involved. Veal's attorney appealed the case to the supreme court and Judge , Howard affirmed the decision of i the lower court. The loaning of money by these : proscribed officials is common throughout the state. The legislature of 1891 passed an act making , it an offence for county or state i officers to lend money, but they have continued to do so in violation of the law. This practice is not confined alone to county treas urers, but to other officers who handle large sums of money. The loans are made with no intention 1 of being dishonest and good secur ity is always demanded and given, yet the transaction is not a legal one. The point in Judge Howard’s decision that will attract the most attention is where he says that no officer can bring suit to recover money lost in this way. It means that it the officer lends the money he does so on his own responsibility, and if the man who borrows chooses to lie dishonest the officer will be forced to loose it. He has no right to bring suit, and if he does the judge will be compelled to rule in accordance with the decision of the supreme court. Judge Howard holds that the lending of public money is governed by section 1,942, R. S.. 1881, and under that the public officer, in lending the money in his hands, is guilty of a felony. The section reads a* followsI “Whoever being charged, orin any I manner intrusted with the collection, receipt, safe keeping, transfer or disbursement of any money, funds, securities, bonds or other j property belonging to, or under ’ the control of the state or of any state officer, or belonging to or under the control of any county, civil or school township, city or town in the state converts to his own use, or to the use of any other ' person or persons, corporation or j corporations, in any manner whatj soever, contrary to law; or uses by way of investment in any kind of property or investment, or loans, either with or without interest; or deposits with any person or persons, corporation or corporations, 1 contrary to law, etc., is guilty of • embezzlement, and upon conviction shall be imprisoned in the state prison not more then twentyone years nor less than two years, and fined not exceeding the value of money or property embezzled, and disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding office. The wool growers of Ohio, under the lead of Shepherd Lawrence, have mapped out for themselves an extensive bulldozing program. They propose to bulldoze congress into restoring to them their old license to rob wool wearers by threatening every congressman who op poses that course with political death. They propose to bulldoze the president by saying to him: “You must concede us our license to rob or we will starve the government to death.” They propose to bulldoze the press by boycotting every newspaper that does nut sup port them in their programme of robbery, and they propose to bulldoze the manufacturers by threatening to demand free woolen and cotton goods if their demand for a robber tariff on wool is not conceded. And so, at the very last, they get down to sense. When they make war on the lest of the robbers they will find the robbers with them, and the fight for the utter extinction of the robber system will go bravely on.—Chicago Chronicle. William D. Bynum has been interviewed, in which he said it was difficult to estimate the sentiment in Indiana on the free coin- ■ age question. He is surely correct in that. The sentiment favoring free coignage is certainly no small quantity: and just what will be the outcome on the question is nncer.tain. _

I had no annetite and could not sleep. I would be compelled to sit up in bed and belch gas from my stomach until I thought that every minute would be my last. There was a feeding of oppression about my heart, and I was afraid to draw a full breath. 1 could not sweep a room without resting.
