cun. One of the most

strikes of the present time is that of the intelligent and patriotic voters against the democratic party. That is a strike that troops, shoel or high water w ill not down. It goes marching bravely and triumphantly on, and if matters continue as now running every one will be that kind of a striker bye and bve.

The voters of south Putnam county should make the democratic managers put up a bond to relieve them (the taxpayers) of all future costs in the coming gravel road suit in the supreme court. They have had about enough of that unholy democratic blundering to the ex tent of ifH000 which will fall on shoulders illy able to pay the same. It would be a very easy matter for an attorney occupying the positions of county attorney and democratic county chairman to take a case to the supreme court in order to bottle it until a dangerous campaign is over; especially when the case has had three decisions against it.

It would be u good idea for Crnwfordsville people, individually, collectively, ministry and laity, to shut up, quit fussing about their religion and give the people of the surrounding counties a rest. The newspapers are devoting space to a religious war up there that is not doing the cause of religion one whit of good. No one has heretofore thought there was enough of the genuine article of religion in the Montgomery capital to light about, and from some of the arguments set forth it would appear that the belie? was well founded. The “Athens” gang had better play the new game of hare and hounds, go fly-fishing up above the Sugar creek dam or ruminate on Senator Sellers’ beard; anything for a change.

There are a large number of misers in business. They buy lots of goods and then secrete them in their stores. Like the miser who hordes up his money, they loose the interest. They ought to let the people know that they have the goods and that they are for sale. The Banner Times is the proper medium. The newspapers have smoked out the sugar investigating committee and the evidence will hereafter be given out daily. The chairman's effort to satisfy the reporters with what he thought best lias proved a dismal failure. Like some other party managers Chairman Gray should let the newspaper men have a fair shake at his committee reports and then all would be well. The newspaper boys know what they want better than some officious meddlers.

There are some strikes that are just and some that are unjust. Where violence and interference with property is used the idea is wrong and is altogether unAmeri-

Tms question of resolutions is amusing. In looking over the resolutions adopted by the democratic county convention, December 30 last, we find the following which were all the resolutions that could be swallowed on that occasion : Kksouvkd—That the democracy of Putnam county, Indiana, in iiiumh convention HKsembled for the Unit tliiieatnce the re-election of 11rover Cleveland, hereby endorse the administration of public atfairs and re-ntflriii the principles of our national platform of 1H#2. Rbsolvrd—That we also endorse the public acts of our senators from this state, and our representatives In congress, and our senator and members of the state legislature. Great set, that. We wonder how many votes that gigantic production would receive in a democratic convention now. The reports from congress show that up to date the Putnam county democratic convention is about the only thing that has affirmed the national platform of 18R2. They ought to have a medal. The double-decked editorial democratic talent of Putnam should keep that gem at their mastheads. For three or four weeks our esteemed contemporary, the Demoerat, has used as a plaything the assertion that this paper, in speak ing of a convention in 189 - J. reterre 1 to the third party people as “crazy prohibitionists” and used “other names you would look for in vain on Sunday school cards,” etc. We hate to deprive our amusing neighbor of its plaything, but would, in the interests of truth, admonish it that it is either misleading or is being energetically misled, for if it will consult our files it will find no such language on record in speaking of that secret conference, for it was no convention. It will find instead a ten-line news note, in which we published the names of the ticket, without comment. The above statements of the Democrat would have been referred to before, but knowing the propensity of that

After the valedictorian's remarks Miss Ridpath, who is held in the highest esteem by her scholars, spoke to her class. The teacher feelingly referred to the mutual happy days of the three years term just closed and stated that to crowd into a three or four minute speech the memories of the past was a task too great to be accomplished. She offered only a few words as to what her class had done, in which she encouraged them to greater efforts

the energy and strength of purpose to complete eleven years of public school life bore the advance marks of success. She admonished them to always display the noblest qualities of mind and heart in the life just opening to them. In closing Miss Ridpath presented the class of’94tothe hoard of trustees as one most worthy of the diplomas

they were to receive.

Prof. Ogg then presented diplo mas to the graduates. The following is the class in full: Estella Bowman, llallie Bridges, Lena Brown, Hiram Collins, Willie Conklin, Ida Cullen, Lottie Davenport, M.

Professor Ogg made a short talk at the close of the exercises, in which he referred to the work of the schools for the year. The high school deserves the highest confidence of the citizens of Greeneaste, for it stands at the head of Indiana schools in point of proportionate high school attendance. There is no city in Indiana that educates through the high school course us great a proportion of the school children as does Greencastle. Twenty per cent, of the enrollment of the schools take the high school course. Aside from Greencastle, the next highest city has a record of thirteen per cent., and some run as low as three per cent. Mr. Ogg said he rejoiced such was true, as with scarcely an exception those completing the eighth year grade either entered the preparatory school of the university or the high school. It is this spirit that keepsGreencastle in the front rank of the cities of the state, and our community is to be congratulated that such a spirit

done. If the president had the courage he would wholly separate the administration from the measure before the senate, and send a message to congress '‘.enouncing the proceedings.” We* believe our local democratic contemporaries have been denouncing the Banner Times as a calamity howler for talking along about the same line of argument as that of Mr. Watterson. They should now right Henry. By the way. Mr. Watterson will be here next week to speak at commencement, and if the democratic papers want to set him right they might see the distinguished Kentuckian. It’s dollars to dimes that no banquet goes this trip. If there is Henry is liable to tell the local Jemmies where they are “at,” in an

unpleasant way. A Hr117.il Hoomh't.

The Sentinel's Brazil correspondent Saturday loosened a boom for Hon. I). E. Williamson for joint representative. It seems that Mr. Williamson managed to get interviewed on his •‘busines” trip to our neighboring town Thursday. The correspondent is off on his geography, as this joint representative district, owing to the intricate democratic gerrymander is not composed of Clay, Putnam and Hendricks counties, and Montgomery should have been used instead of Hendricks. Just give us Hendricks and Mr. Williamson nor any oilier democrat would ever reach the general assembly. A prominent democrat, and there are lots of them honing for interviews these days, says Mr. Williamson’s visit to Brazil is a quiet ruse to knock Mr. Ader out of the representative box. Mr. Ader is sawing wood, but is not the politician he should be if he can’t work his chairmanship for that nomination. It is believed another split in the multi-split local democracy is imminent.

Have Gotten Together.

The Indianapolis Journal says: “The Cincinnati newspapers have united in the adoption of a rule requiring ail churches and charitable notices to be paid for at regular advertising rates. The papers there, as in other cities, have found that their share of the tax for religion and charity has become disproportionately heavy, and that the public is disposed to demand the free insertion of such advertisements as a right, whereas it is a contribution equivalent to cash. It is to restore a proper balance that a return to business principles is agreed

upon.

The exercises of the evening were carried to a successful close, and the class of '94 goes int o th world well equipped for their battle in life. The Banner Times wishes them God speed. The Alumni Hanquet. One of the most enjoyable events of the public school life is the yearly alumni banquet. The one of Friday evening was very largely attended. It was fully eleven o’clock when over one hundred of the high school alumni were seated around the festal hoard at Mem-

Beck, class ol "89, gave the address of welcome to the class of '94. Miss Kate Gainer made the reply on behalf of the class, making a very clever and well placed speech in which she spoke for the class assuring the alumni who welcomed them so heartily that the class of '91 was very happy and thankful to become members of the organization. John 1‘. Hillis, ’87, Greencastle's big hearted, good natured singer, who has delighted so many audiences, sang a solo at this point which met with great applause. The annalists’ report was to have been read by Miss Mary Bicknell, but she being absent, that number was omitted. Ren P. Carpenter, ’92, made a happy talk being announced by the toast-master as a speaker without a subject. His remarks were witty, wtdl pointed and were enthusiastically received. Wilbur Starr, 90, sang a beautiful solo in his own excellent way. to great applause, Miss Kate Mathers placing his accompaniment also Mr. Hillis’. Mr. Hillis made the last speed) of the evening in which he detailed some interesting things about his recent experiences in Halifax.
