; year since the democratic papers of I this county have iia<l to go so far ^ for consolation and though they have had to get to the edge of the Gulf of Mexico to find it, they went. If they can find any ecstacy over that victory let them enjoy it. They should tell their constituents how the fraud was accomplished; how the democratic machine gang in control in Alabama counted for both Oates and Kolb; how in one city with a total of 1300 votes Oates got 2400 majority. If they would tell all of this their “vie ton” wouldn’t look so big. If the democrats of Texas hustle this year and oil up their counting machines we wouldn’t be surprised if that state went democratic. Other than that we believe the country is safe.

Who "is u demoerut?”

Dkmockatic protanity is boom ing right now. Th : tiles of our democratic exchanges are interesting reading just now.

“Tut st and bust” would be a good democratic war try for th< coming campaign.

Tiikid: was no grand rush to the democratic state convention, notwithstanding half-fare rules were in effect.

next platform will consist of the one word “Whereas.” When they try to get beyond that one word of introduction, the question of “where at” will strike them between the]

eyes and their resolutions will eol-j have surrendered and have taken lapse. | bodily the worst dose of crow ever Not long since a horse fell into i bolted down by any set ot men in a chasm on Broadway where some I this country. life particulars aproad repairing was being done, [pear in our news columns today.

The shrinkage in the price of wheat is about one hundred and fifty per cent. This will about represent the shrinkage in the deni ncratic vote.

The republicans will open the campaign at Indianapolis about the middle of September. Governor McKinley will be the speaker. Il will be an immense meeting. “Evert true democrat is an earnest and unswerving advocate ol tariff reform, and will earnestly continue the fight for it until all tariff taxation is laid for revenue only.” Thus spake the Star-Presx in its last issue. There are apparently a few democrats over at Washington that tliiuk differently this week.

Dunino the last fiscal year our exportation of wheat and Hour fell off twenty-five per cent, while the exportation of corn and corn meal increased twenty two percent. Corn meal now enters into the German army ration, and is otherwise more generally used in Europe. The higher value placed upon corn promises to be permanent, and is a matter of immense importance to this country. This is one of the reasons for the increasing price of corn.

The Putnam county democrats got up a remarkably short set of resolutions at their county convention last year. About ten lines covered all the resolves. From

from the hole it was unable to stand, and a veterinary surgeon was sent for, who stated that one leg was broken in three places and he wished to mend the fractures. The owner demurred, saying that “the horse would be no good for any thing.” “No,” replied the vet, “it won’t be worth a <1 as a iiorse, but look at the grand experiment.” An unemployed laborer standing by said, “I guess it’s pretty much like Wilson’s bill, not worth a d tor raising revenue, but a of a grand experiment.” Tnr: Star I'retM Saturday made a denial of the democratic promise of “vote for Grover and get $1.25 for your wheat,” by saving no democratic platform ever made any such promise. While there are many things that Chicago platform of 18!>2 contained we have not accused it of saying the above. What it did promise has been just as vio lently broken as the above pledge, which appeared on every demoeratio transparency and banner and in nearly every democratic newspaper in the land in 181(2. The Nt,arI'rcss knows it did and its weak assertion that the statement was “not in the democratic platform” shows it is cut to the quick by the force of the argument.

Jourmil thus

Fkom all reports Col. James T. Johnson made a great mistake at Terre Haute Thursday in an illtimed speech, all because he was not nominated for congress. Mr. Johnston has received recognition at the hands of the republican party in about as great measure as he deserves, and many a good man lias been defeated for olliee along with him this j'ear, when it seems none but republicans are running. The Parke county politician should curb bis temper, and either take his medicine or stay out of polities. This is no year for republican kicking. It seems that there is an abundance of congressional timber in the Eighth district for many years’ supply, and Mr. Johnston has been honored with the nomina tion more than once.

The two Saturday democratic organs crow over the Alabama election. The organ says “it gives glory and furnishes confidence for the democratic part}’of the nation.” The organette hoists a couple of very small roosters, howls for more Oates and writes “( lose up, boys, close up, and let's give these republican boasters a fight they will remember as long us they live. The legislature is democratic by a good majority.” It’s been many a long

comments:

There an* surrenders and surrenders. There ha\e been surrenders when* a hopelessly small but si ilited force, after a manlv tight, had demanded and been accorded the honor of saluting its llag and marching out with the honors of war; there have been surrenders of the reinnunts of armies which have tilled the world with the renown of their deeds, and only laid down their arms when to light was to be aimiliilated to no purpose; there have been a few shameful surrenders where the treason of leaders ami the abject cowardice of troops have led to capitulation when loyalty and courage could have won victories. Of this lust class is the surrender of the democratic house. Three weeks ago the same men who voted in caucus yesterday to surrender declared with shouts and hat throwing that they would tight the senate bill until March 4. 18!l.*>, practically die in their tracks before they would agree to its passage. Yet, after Chairman Wilson had informed them that to pass the senate bill would enable the sugar trust to take $14,800,000 out of the pockets of the sugar consumers of the country because it has laid iu ifl 12,000,000 worth of raw sugar, duty free, by a vote of 6 to 1 the democratic house caucus declared its preference to abet the sugai trust’s plundering rather than to stand out and save the people that amount by passing no taritT bill. It is a humiliating and an abject surrender. The democratic house has not only capitulated, but. it has capitulated when it might have defeated its enemy. To use the words of President Cleveland, the house surrender “means party perfidy and party dishonor.” And yet the house has done that which most men who knew the history and the instincts of the democratic part}- have predicted since the senate showed its purpose 10 yield to the sugar and whiskey trusts. They knew that the Wilson bill was dead months ago because it failed to provide the necessary revenue, and chiefly because it failed to keep the pledges of the leaders to the sugar and whisky trusts. The only hope was that the democratic house would have the self-respect to hold out and not make its members and the president the sharers of the obloquy by taking the responsibility of letting the present law stand. It was only a hope based upon a wish; for, were the truth known, a majority of the democrats in the house were only too willing to pass the senate bill. The democrats in the house who have been guilty of this perfidy to the American people will come back with profuse explanations. They will anathematize the trusts whose bidding they h.tvc done, while they will seek of the sugar and whisky people fractions ot the $7">.<KM),0()0 which they have pocketed by reason of their votes for the senate lull. ,>1| explanations are insults. Having the pockets of 65,000,01)0 of people and the cotters of two huge trusts to choose between they became the allies and tools of the robbers of the

people.

Thursday’s fire developed the fact that mud accumulates in the water mains of the city service. The sight of quantities of mud blocking the How of water from the hydrants led to a great amount of disgust, criticism and profanity Thursday. This condition should not prevail. The fire chief or water works superintendent, which one’s duty it is, should test these plugs, thoroughly and often. Under the wording of the water works ordinance it is rather indefinite as to whether any one has a right to test the hydrants or not. Ordinance or no ordinance the hydrants should be kept clean as the city in paying $1500 per year for fire service wants water and not mud. The council should take immediate steps that would avoid a repetition

of such scenes os the taxpayers were compel cd to witness Thursday. If it is the city firemen’s duty to test the plugs they should flush them at hast every thirty days; if it is the water works company s place to do it they should act in an equally short time. During the present drouth no time should be lost at a fire, especially when such a loss cun he overcome by a little exertion and fore-sight, by the proper parties. The firemen complained to the Banner Times of a weak pressure at Thursday’s tire anti state that what pressure they had showed the stand pipe was not full nor near full. An abundance of water should he kept in the tower this dry weather as the danger offire is very great. Our esteemed contemporary the Star-Press lust week broke into scripture and made a quotation or two that was interesting. It also had something to say on “free raw materials.” In view of what the democrats did at Washington on Monday in swallowing Mr. Gorman’s senate bill, which fattens the pockets of the sugar trust to the axtetit of nearly' $75,000,000, the following “red hot” matter from the Stiir Press is refreshing: ‘ EKKK RAW MATERIALS.” “And they hail brick for stone,.and .lime hail they for mortar.”—Genesis

xi.

Two principles, or iloctrines, and two alone, mnierly the democratic gospel of tariff reform. They are: First—That the government has no right to tax the people except to raise oney for its own support. Ami, Second—That the taking of one man’s substance to aid or benefit another man’s business is none t.he less robbery because it is called protection anil done under the forms of law. To these simple propositions the demoeratie party is irrevocably' committed. Upon them it has rested its faith and built its claim. They constitute the ail-in-all of the democratic demand for “a tariff for revenue only.” He who denies them is not, and can not lie, a den - ocrat. He who, denying them, pretends to be a democrat is a coward and paltroon, who seeks to wear the mantle of democracy for a dishonest purpose. He who would obscure tin* light they shed, or eonfuse them with ineilents and subterfuges, either dors not comprehend their meaning and force, and, therefore, were better out of the 'emoeratii* party than in it, or else tuts a dull bluiiderer incapable of sagacious or sound leadership; for they embody the very essence of the orgatuc maxim “equal rights for all—exclusive privileges to none.” At a time when democratic counsels are mystified by a babel of tongues such as brought the wrath of heaven upon the generations of the sons of Voah. threatening ns with the same visitation of the Lord that scattered them abroad upon all the face of the earth.” it is well to recur to the word and the law.

The following clipped from the president’s letter to Congressman Wilson, in which Mr. Cleveland described the tarilf bill which the democratic* house passed yesterday will be of interest: Every true democrat and every sincere tariff reformer knows that this bill, in its present form and as it will be submitted to the conference. fulls far short ot the consummation for which we have long labored, tor which we have suffered defeat without discouragement, which in its anticipation gives us 11 rallying cry in our day of triumph, and which in its promise of ac complislunent is so interwoven with democratic success that our abandonment of the cause or the principles upon which its rests means party perfidy and party dishonor.

The Star-Press and Democrat are surely in need of something to brace up their spirits when they seize with such avidity upon the Alabama election result ns a foun dation ior democratic rejoicing, Oates’ majority over the rattle

The two democratic papers of Greencastle are assured of the Banner Times’ esteemed consideration and sympathy this week. We appreciate their dire dilemma in having nothing cheerful to write “bout concerning matters at Washington. We would suggest that they’ write ghost, snake or horse stories, play the races, hoist defunct third party platforms, or go into additional ecstaeies over the result ot the Alabama election. Hoist another rooster or two over that southern machine victory, gentlemen, and look pleasant. I he trick ot the democratic leaders in the house in presenting hills to put sugar, coal and ores on the free list, pass them and send them to the senate is a very thin article ol gauze.
