That ticket nominated Saturdav is the sottot mark democracy couhl have put up. Xeitiiek of the democratic papers have any thing to say about the coming row over the county superintendency or who is to be appointed pension examiner. Tu at if 9. dO-per-thousand-let ter head printing-steal lias never been defended by the democratic papers of I’litnam. Neither lias that bidjuggling job. What's the matter with t he democratic organs.? The president proved himself an arrant coward to permit the taritt bill to become a lawMonday without ids signature. Had be the nerve he could have vetoed it and made himself solid with the masses of his party. President Jordan of the Stanford university, California, has written a card to students and friends of the university and states that none of the events of the sum tner are likely in any way to emhar rass the university or hinder its work.

The Democrat takes its dish of crow as one of the smaller fry cuckoos an 1 announces to its waiting constituency that “the Senate hill is a long step in the direction of | r tc i al revenue legislation.” S ill Grover said it was “perfidy and dishonor” personified. There is something wrong between these ex-

tremes of opinion.

The Banner Times was assured by it leading democrat today that Ids party had one argument that they could go before the country with and that was the cheapness of watermelons. They propose to capture one-half of the colored vote by stating that the Cleveland administration is responsible for the cheapness of their favorite fruit. In the meantime we thought the MeKinlev bill was still in operation. The democrats are assured that the republicans appreciate their challenge of Mr. Qwen tor a joint debate hut thej - have had the wind taken out of their sails by the magnitude of the hornet’s nest they have stirred up. They expected to get a little cheap advertising for a weak advocate at the expense of the republicans, hut when the reph of Mr. Gowdy reached them their faces took on a long turn. If Mr. Myers desires a joint debate he now has an opportunity to meet the head of the republican ticket. Will he accept? The Star-Press makes the glaring assertion that the McKinley law taxes sugar more heavily than the new hill just passed by congress. Under that statement it will have a hard time telling its readers how the McKinley hill decreased the price of sugar, and why in the face of the new law sugar lias gone up several pegs. The truth about the sugar question is as follows and we cheerfully set our blundering contemporary right on the matter as we often have to do on questions of the day: Sugar is produced in hut sixteen counties in .he United States. All the sugar consumed in this country is imported except what is raised in these sixteen counties. This sugar is only one-tenth of the sugar consumed. The republicans thought it better to pay these American producers two cents a pound on what sugar they made than to pay two cents a pound in the way of a tax on al! tire sugar imported in order that the sugar raisers in Louisiana might he protected. The present congress prefers the old way and makes us pay 40 per cent on all the sugar imported and an additional tux to the sugar trust which contributed half a million dollars to the campaign fund for the election of Cleveland.

ination. and we predict he will have a hard time in view of his past record of assuring the old line democratic wheel horses that he is true blue. Mr. Bollard is of the wheel horse class; states he learned his democracy at bis mother’s breast in Virginia, etc., and to such a demo crat and others of his class a renegade is supposed to be the most oh noxious thing on the face of the earth. The ex-attorney general now has a chance to again go down to inglorious defeat and we predict that he will strike a toboggan slide that will not have a rough place on it.

CIIA SCSS IS THE COSGHI.'SSIOSAL CASVASS. ?*t. Louis Globe-Democrat. As many democrats and nearly all republicans are looking for a republican victory in the congressional campaign this year, it is well to understand the gains which the latter will have to make in order to win. In the sixteen ex-slave states classed as the solid south the democrats have P21 members of the house of representatives, and the republicans only six. There are solid demoeratic delegations from Alabama. Arkansas, Delaware, Flor ida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland. Mississippi, Texas and the two Yir gtnias, while the republicans have one member in Kentucky. Missouri and in each of the Carolinas, and two inTennessee. The republicans elected two in Missouri, but one ot them, ( buries F. Joy, was unseated to make room for his defeated opponent, John J. O'Neill. The house has 356 members, 179 constituting a majority. If the democrats could hold their own, therefore, in the ex slave slates they would need to elect only fiftyeight members in the rest of the country in order to retain control of the house. They have twentyeight states, too, to get these fiftyeight members from. An average of a little over two to a state would give them this number. They are reasonably certain of getting a dozen from New York, and perhaps half a dozen from Ohio and an equal number from Illinois. They have nineteen from New York now. and eleven each from the other two states. If they should secure what we have conjectured from these three states, or twenty-four, they will require only thirty-four from the rest of the twenty-five states of the north and west to keep them in a majority. In the present house there are 218 democrats, 127 republicans and eleven populists. The republican vote is ninety-one short of the democratic and 102 short of the democratic and populist combined. The republicans are fifty-two votes below a majority. They will have to gain fifty-two distiicts somewhere in order to secure control of the house. The probabilities are that they will do this. It is well for them, though, to understand the situation, so that they may see the difficulties which- are to be surmounted, and take proper measures to overcome them. There will be no walk-cver for the republicans in the campaign. The fact that the democracy has undisputed control throughout a large part of the south gives that party a tremendous advantage in every national canvass, which ordinarily nothing short of a landslide in the rest of the country can overcome. The condi tions, however, are so favorable to the republicans this year that l»v intelligent and vigorous effort they can win.

The democratic tax on the poor man’s breakfast table has gone into effect. The republican law- gave twenty pounds of sugar for a dollar. The new democratic law makes it fifteen pounds with a probability of it going still lower. Ask your grocer for figures, gentle reader,

and then ponder.

A numrek of subscriptions expire with this issue. A red X will indi cate to subscribers that their time will expire with this issue. As we do not carry subscribers longer than the end of the time paid for.it will be necessary to send the money or call and pay in advance before securing the paper longer. We

endeavor to treat every one alike in this matter—rich and poor, old and young, high and low—and it your paper is stopped you will have the consolation of knowing that every other subscriber, whose time has expired, was treated the same way. After six months’ experience with the cash-in-ad vance method, we feel that it is the only true method of conducting a newspaper. The best part of U all is the fact that it pleases our subscribers. They take the paper because they want it and not because it is sent to them. They pay for it in advance and feel independent. If they owed for it, they would feel uncomfortable every time it came into their hands. The publisher feels more confidence in publishing a paper that his sub scribers think enough of to pay for in advance. New subscribers are flocking in by the dozen and we have reason to expect a larger list by the end of the year than at its beginning. Now is the time to subscribe. A tour of the grocery stores in Greeneastle shows that sugar which has Been selling twenty pounds for a dollar right along for many mouths, is now selling at fifteen pounds for one dollar. This is the increase in tin* price of sugar caused bv the new taritl law just passed by democrats. It amounts to a reduction of sugar and an increase of price of just twenty-five per cent and grocers and traveling men state that the reduction will reach fourteen and may go still lower. This is an object lesson on democratic legislation and republicans, democrats, prohibitionists, and populists when they order a dollar's worth of sugar from their grocer will now contribute twentyfive cents of that amount to the democratic financiering. There is nothing better than evidence and if anyone doubts the truthfulness of the prices the Banner Times quotes above let hi"j just watch the scales on his next dollar’s purchase of sugar. The McKinley law, which lias been denounced so unsparingly for the last tour years by the democracy, took from the dutiable list and placed on the free list articles amounting in value to $109,232,080 as against $41,397,001.71 by the Gorman bill. And the Gorman lull has taken articles now free of duty, every one of which is a necessity of life, from its free list, amounting in value to $113,215,416.02 on which will be collected a duty of $13,989,929.87. Resides the Gorman bill increases the existing rate under the McKinley act on various articles amounting in value to $18,074,507.19, thus swelling the grand total up to $131,289,953.42. This is lifting ihe burden from the people with a vengeance. An Arrivnl.

Saturday’s Convention. Several ludicrous things occurred Saturday at the democratic convention. (’apt. Smiley’s speech was short for once, as it is a well known fact that the captain who has been a wheel horse all his life doesn’t like the idea of a last year’s convert carrying off a plum. Then again Squire Gardner had his sav, and though his effort was a trifie vague and indistinct it is generally conceded to have been the best speech of the day. During the efforts to shut off Mr. Gardner and get up the Colonel or any other man who could try to enthuse the hoys, pandemonium reigned until Postmaster Neff, who on account of his official position hasn’t a great deal of business in a political meeting anyhow, arose to a point of order and informed the rabble that they didn’t know “where they were at,’’ or words to that effect. This observation was literally true and is but an example of the condition of the entire democratic party this year. The speeches that were finally worked off were collectively and singly the worst lot of political rot ever given in the court house and the enthusiasm refused to flow. The entire gist of the speakers’ remarks were that the party stood about where it did two years ago, that republican laws were in effect and democracy having a president and both branches of Congress had 'lone nothing. Such a shameful ad mission was all the “argument” the speakers could pour forth. That iD-morrattr Ithitr. They are talking about Putnam county all over the country. The Sunday Inter Ocean of Chicago lias the following comment; TJie democrats manifest a strange anxiety to break into that Greeneastle meeting. It is believed that they fear the county will reverse its usual majority and go republican. ■ It is known that democratic defections there are numerous, and the I evident desire is to make way for some incident by means of the proposedJoint debate which would excite partisan prejudice to stem the republican tendency ot the democratic voters of Putnam countv.
