Mr. Ellingham is a man who attends to his own business. And the man who signed his name a “Democrat” if he thought he was going to do some good thereby should sign his name. Say, aint you the man who once signed your nome “White Oak” in the Democrat some time ago? Aint you a worn-out politician, one who once asked the democrat party for a favor i ami they rejected you? Let us see your name. PETITION TO CARLISLE. The following petition was sent to Secretary Carlisle last Monday: Decatur, Ind., Feb. 9,1896. Hon. John G. Carlisle, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: We understand that the license for the sale of beer on Ellis Island expires this month. We believe that the sale of beer there is productive of much harm, and we further believe that the first impression that we as a Christian nation should give to every foreigner that comes to our shore should be one of temperance and sobriety. Therefore, We, the Church of Christ, of Decatur, Ind., do hereby respectfully petition you to exert your executive inHuence to secure ample provision for pure and wholesome drinking water for the immigrants who come there. All this is done in the hope that you will give your worthy consideration to this our petition. Signed, Church of Christ, Decatur, Ind.

THE OLDEST AND THE BEST Cough-cure, the moat prompt ami effective remedy for discuses of the throat mid lung*, is Ayer’e Cherry I‘ectoriil.

The licenae to sell beer on Ellis Island which is the landing place of the immigrants that come >o New York < ity, was granted by the Secretary or tlie Treasury against the protest of many who believed that it would be detrimental to the emmigranl*. It was granted on the grounds that the supply of drinking water wae in- I adequate and thus made the sale of la-er necessary and was granted with the promise that in case it proved detrimental to the cause of temperance the license wouhi not be granted again. The result has la*en what one would naturally ex|>ect and has been very detrimental to the immigrants comj>elled to stay there any length of time. As the license expires this month this church has taken this means <,f taken a stand on this aubject. A similar petition was sent by the Christian Endeavor Society of the church to Secretary Carlisle. *,• UNION MEETING.
