MILLER Tiik local democratic papers have been overburdened with silence since the cutting down of prices for teaming and labor in Putnam county. Those bids on gravel road repairs tell the story of the wage mark as set by democracy louder and with more emphasis than columns of theories about the beauties of free trade. If Putnam farmers are content witli $1.20 per day for their team and driver and 60 cents for a day laborer, they are easily satisfied. Of course, necessity knocks down the price, but democracy makes the necessity.

Now that tbe question of coining the seigniorage is agitating the country, the following definition of the word, as given in the Century dictionary, is of interest: “Seigniorage: Something claimed bv the sovereign or by a superior as a prerogative; specifically, an ancient royalty or prerogative of the crown, whereby it claimed a percentage upon bullion brought to the mint to be coined or to be ex changed for coin; the difference between the cost of a mass of bullion and the face value of the pieces coined from it.” The dictionary follows the definition with the following quotation from John Stuart Mill: "If government, however, throws the expense of coinage, as is reasonable, upon holders, by making a charge to cover the expense (which is done by giving back, rather less in coin than is received in bullion, and is called ‘levying a seigniorage’) the coin will rise to the extent of the seigniorage above the value of the bullion.”
500; and 160 acres in Russell township, extra good land, went begging j for bidders. The terms of the sale were one-third cash, one-third secured by mortgage on the land at nine months and one-third under same conditions at eighteen months. There remains about 600 acres of good land in Putnam and 500 in Parke unsold. In good times this land would have been snapped up, as it is some of the best in the county. The rest will i be sold at private sale.

EXCH.IXU /•; OPINION. One of Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge's relatives is the proprietor of a large lime factory. It is hoped the relative knows what to do with a few loads of it.— Iiiter-Oceiin. Seven-tenths of the tariff on sugar was collected from the poor; hence the republican party abolished it and hence the Wilson bill reimposes it.— Topeka Capital. When the people begin to pay more for their sugar they will quit listening to the tariff reformers who tell them that the republican party, which made sugar free, is an enemy to their interests. * * * The democratic party is going to have a good deal of difficulty this year in persuading men to accept its nominations for the mere purpose of experiencing the sensation of fore gone and miserable defeat.— (UobeDemocrat.

Important Kvent* at the Capital.—The Latest New*. Washington, March 2(1, 18114 "1 would sooner he a day laborer than a member of Cleveland’s cabinet,” remarked a democrat widely known in commercial circles to a personal ft lend. "Why,” he continued, “they rarely know what he is going to do about anything until his act is publicly announced. When he invites them to express their opinions it is only that he may ascertain how many of them agree with him, and never with the remotest idea of accepting their advice when they do not.” The oeeasion of these remarks was a visit he had paid to each member of the cabinet, all his personal friends, to find out something definite about Mr. Cleveland’s intentions as to the Bland coinage bill. He was told by each of them that while the matter had been discussed at two cabinet meeting- Mr Cleveland had not told any of them what he intended to do. but four of them believe that he will veto it, not >o much from anything he has said since the bill passed congress as from Id. previous utterances on the same subject. It is also the general belief in congress that he will veto the bill. If he does, look out for the biggest democratic row yet seen. The republican senators are hard at work preparing themselves for the taritf debate, which begins a week from today. It is their purpose to point out in their speeches the bad points in the bill which are so numerous that many of them have necessarily been overlooked by the casual reader. Nobody in Washington appears to take Coxey’s army seriously, except Senator Kyle and a fellow who calls himself Coxey’s agent. The latter goes Coxey 200,000 better and says he expects the army to number 300.000 when it gets here. The trouble with the new treaty with China, which is being considered by the senate committee on foreign relations, and which threatens to reopen the entire "Chinese question” in congress, is that Secretary Gresham failed to prove himself entitled to stan i in tbe same diplomatic class w ith the present Chinese minister, who secured every thing his government wanted w ithout conceding anything substantial to the United States. So plain is this that Gresham tries to excuse himself by hinting about a beneficial commercial treaty which is to follow. What makes the.treaty all the more disappointing is that men close to the administration quietly gave a tip many months ago that the treaty would contain a clause binding China to purchase annually a large amount of \ silver bullion from us. some said the I entire product of the American mines. It really does grow monotonous this having to condemn every act of the administration, but w hat can one do win n there is absolutely nothing worthy of commendation. Judging from the record of the party, particularly in the last house, it would 1 seem that if there was any one thing that would induce a quorum of democrats to remain in their seats it would he the prospect of unseating a republi- I can member and giving his seat to a democratic contestant who has just about as much right to it as the man in the moon, but even that prospect did | not keep the democratic members of the house ill their seats, and, after wasting two days in ineffectual attempts to get a democratic quorum—the republicans I very properly refused to vote—in order | to carry out the report of the democrats | ou the election committee, by ousting Representative Joy, of Mo., and giving 1 Ids seat to the democrat lie defeated, they were compelled to temporarily abandon the scheme. It will be again attempted this week, and it will, of j course, in the end succeed. It is only a 1 question of getting a democratic quo-1 rum present. According to a relative of Secretary Hoke Smith, now visiting Washington,! Sam Jones, the slang-slinging Georgia ' preacher, said lately of the democrats in congress: “Of all the box-ankied. ban-dy-shanked, Ilea bitten, bob-tailed. | mangy, corn-ageless, brainless Jaewnsses that ever assembled since God made the world, I think for pure downright cussedtiess the present gang in congress, headed by Hill in the senate and tailed by ‘no quorum’ in the house, beats them all.” And the Reverend Sam is a democrat, too. The defense ot Representative Breckinridge in the suit for breach of promise of marriage, now being tried in the Washington courts, has furuishe 1 lots of amusement here. The idea of a man of his experience, prominence and years having been led astray by any woman, however beautiful and artful—Miss Bollard is far from being beautiful—is so ridiculous and absurd that a general smile is the result wherever it is mentioned. and it is mentioned quite often. However, he had to make some sort of a defense, and he doubtless thought that this one would at least secure him the sympathy of other men who are following in his footsteps, because, if success- j ful, it will furnish a precedent to help get them out of sim lar predicaments 1 should they too get found out. His political career is regarded here as being ended.
A SIX ROOM GUI lAUt. Comfort, Convrnlenco an<l Small Coat Are Fs-atorr* of This l>4**lgn. (Copyright, ISOS, by American Prtwa Association.) This is a compact, house—a house for a wonmn who does her own work. It has a hall mid three rooms on the first floor: three bedrooms, a bathroom and an alcove la the second story. There is a stairway to the attic, which provides an abundance of storage, and a proper connection from the
FRONT ELEVATION. kitchen to the basement, wherein may be arranged a laundry, space for a furnace and other natural features which belong to that part of the building. In tbe front hall there is a stairway, which may Is- approached from the sitting room or from the kitchen. There are two doors separating the kitchen from the front part of the house. Underneath the stairway there is a passageway to the cellar. This represents a good deal in the way of compactness. The kitchen is not a large room, and no well arranged kitchen need be large. If there is sufficient wall space for a sink, a table and a proper place for the range, the extra floor space represents extra labor and certainly extra expense in paying for it. A dining room which has direct connection with the kitchen by means of a single door always contains the odors of cooking, and from this room it is communicated to all the other rooms of the house. The arrangement shown in connection with this plan is to have two double swing doors pa-stng through the pantry. These doors close themselves and r.main in a closed position. It is easier to go through two doors of this kind than to pass through one which has the ordinary hinges and lock. One may take a tray of dishes and pass through two doors which swing in the way indicated, and make much more rapid progress in doing the work of this part of the house than if she had to go through a sin gle door from kitchen to dining room. One cannot carry any great weight from one room to the other if she has to hold it in her hands while she takes hold of the

Hence it is economical as to the amount of time and labor required in doing the work of this part of the house. It Is the kitchen and dining room and their connections which require serious consideration when tbe wants of the housekeeper are properly considered. There is no great trouble in planning tbe front part of the house, hut when it comes to the kitchen, and the dining room, and the bath connections, and all that goes with them, there is required much thought if one is serious in this kind of work. A bathroom is a great saver of labor. If we only consider that the water closet may be used as a slopsink Into which to pour the wash water which comes from the other rooms, we may know how much it represents in that way. The carrying of slops down stairs and the bringing of water up stairs is very bard work and requiresa great deal of time and is altogether very disturl)ing. The bathroom saves all of this labor in addition to performing Its other service. A furnace saves a great deal of work. The carrying in of coal and the carrying out of ashes from stoves and grates on first and second floors is a very serious matter, not only la-cause of the actual la!*>r required in so doing, but Is-cain-e of the wear and tear of the furniture, carpets and other household fittings. The furnace communicates heat to all rooms. It requires care certainly no oftener than any single fire in the house. It requires that the ashes be re

The exterior of this house tells its own story. It is simple as to outline, and arranged so that the details, if properly carried out, would Is- permanent, and so there would be no particular expense In preserving this house in this condition during all time.
