even by silence and submission Cleveland's atrocious, anti-ameri-can and nnti-dcmocratic policy of infamy in Hawaii, why then in its dire calamity the democracy will have nobody to blame but itself. Where is the vital and puissant democracy that once we knew? Is there no leader left, with the courage of Andrew Jackson, and the wisdom and humanity of Thomas Jefferson, to rise up and smite impostors and conspirators of this luckless day, and by one mighty word free the party of the American people from such fools and
tricksters?
And yet the Sun helped to make the party. It lias not changed its

The greatest trouble with Greeneastle is the fact that its citizens do not appreciate its advantages. Its location is the most healthful in the state, and its facilities of the best. In the matter of streets alone Greeneastle far distances her neighbors. Take the country over and no town of its size has streets of such solidity and dryness as lias Greeneastle. Many cities with the same population have more energy and push, however. They struggle along through streets full of mud, chuck holes and obstructions, hut in the matter of hustle they discount us two to one. There is no belter place to get a hustle on and have a better track under foot than in Greeneastle. The absence of that hustle is what is hurting us in a business way. True, we are in better shape than many boom town, hut we lack a few things in the way of get up that would place us where we ought to he. Let's hustle a little and get something in the way of factories. APRIL THE FOURTEENTH Tlu* I>ay When tin Uepuhlirnn^ Will Name Ptitimin’M Winning Tiekel.

Perhaps never before in the history of Putnam county has there been so much unfeigned disgust displayed over the democraetic nominations for county commissioners. Up in the north part of the county there is loud grumbling over Thompson and democratic talk is open and above board to the effect that a more incompetent man could not have been chosen.

These concessions to the senators from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and I.onisiaiia. are not to be called protection. The democratic party is opposed to protection, you know.

The association at a recent meeting held at Ipdianapolis designated Senators Harris, of Tennessee; Sherman, of Ohio, and Vilas, of Wisconsin, a committee to take charge of the memorial in the senate and the following representatives to perform a like duty in tlie house: Col.

Congress is here to pa-slaws without consulting anybody and I. for one, am growing tired of (he constant interference of the executive departments in the work of congress.
