palled at tlie feeling which hobs up without the least trouble at every public gathering. Naturally they should be. The people see an opportunity approaching to throw off democratic misrule, and without party or prejudice they are making arrangements to toss overboard the party in power. It is the expression of the people of this determination that is worrying the demo cratic leaders, who are resorting to every subterfuge to call back their departing ones. The feeling is in the atmosphere and can't lie stopped.

The local demociatie papers mild in their defense of renegade reputation of their candi date for joint representative. They see renegadism won’t go down with the masses of democracy, as Mr. Pollard, of Plainfield, has so tersely told them.

The organ is authority this week for tlie announcement that Congressman Cooper has challenged Mr. Overstreet to joint debate and it seems tlie Shir- /‘reus has got in a “scoop” on the organette in the announcement. This looks like the organ was the organ still.

Ik ‘’sugar is today fifty-eight cents less per hundred pounds than it was a year ago,” as stated by the Sr n f in cl and the Democrat, why is it that tlie purchaser pays one dollar for sixteen pounds now when he got twenty or twenty-two pounds months ago? This is the argument the democrats will have to meet, and it is the argument that strikes every man’s pocket-book. I Ion. Delano E. Williamson! It seems as though we have heard that name before. Didn’t he write a letter once casting oil' all allegiance to the party that elected him attorney general of the state and made him all lie is, just because it could not elect him judge in a strong democratic district? Why, of course he diil, and so did Charley Thrasher ! Well, this same I). K. W. has been tickled with another nomination, this time at the hands of the democracy. A kind of reward for playing the Benedict

Incidentai.lv it might be said, that Mr. Ren P. Carpenter is writing some more remarkably bad poetry, his contribution in last week's organelle being a gem. It is a “take off” on Poe’s “Raven” and is dedicated to Hon. T. T. Moore. The effort is a weak one, the meter bad and the rhyme worse, while the sense is left out altogether. If Mr. Carpenter is going to keep this thing up, the Bannkk Times would suggest a parody on something like this little ditty, the first verse of which “goes'’ thusly : Sin* a song of politic*— A belly full of irutt. Carpenter’s writing poetry. Ami he’s written quite enough. —To be continued after the next poem.

In retiring from the office of mayor of Greencastle Monday Mr. Case leaves behind him a clean record of official acts. Called to the office at an age when young men are acquiring wisdom, he took the reins of the city government, and for four years presided with due wisdom and dignity. During his two terms Mr. Case’s life has been woven into the spirit and progress of the city, and it has been his good fortune to assist materially in the solidifying of the republican party in the city of Greencastle, which four years ago was considerably torn with dissen sions. In his court acts he has tempered justice with mercy, and erred, if erring it be, in behalf of frailty and misfortune. Mr. Case steps from the position with the good opinion of Ids fellow-citizens and with their best wishes following him, and the Bannek Times wishes him God-speed in the years to come.

The predicament of the democratic papers today is amusing. The republican enthusiasm afloat in this city and about the county is so apparent that the dodges the papers are making to counteract it are queer. In fact, wherever men gather these days their enthusiasm for the republican ticket is so pro nounced that there is no holding it in check. Hence it is but natural that at a soldiers’ reunion tins feeling should come to the surface. Democracy might as well try to stay the tide of the ocean as to stop the enthusiasm of soldiers and others at the prospects of republican success. Democrats are ap-

THU LETTER TO CATC1JIXGS.

New York Sun.

The usefulness of a good working library to a president of the United States was magnificently illustrated in the memorable days when the “American ('yclopiediu” furnished Mr. Cleveland with speech after

to the mayors

and citizens of southwestern towns. Mr. Cleveland is not regarded as a scholarly man, but his library ! methods are still those of the patient toiler in the alcove. Having on hand during the past ten days the job of composing a letter to Mr. Catchings, and desiring to put to Catchings the infamy of treason in as strong and strking language as possible, the president goes to his bookshelves. He does not take down the cyclopiedia as before, for he seldom consults that once familiar work now except under stress of absolute necessity. He reaches instead for his copy of John Bartlett's “Familiar Quotations.” Turning to “Treason” in the index, he finds first: “Tieiison can but peep, 14*2.” That will not answer. “Treason can hut peep” is too undignified for a semi-official executive communi cation. It suggests chickens. The next indication is this: "Corporation* cannot commit treason, 24.” That is manifestly unavailable. It is too favorable to the trusts.

“Treason doth never prosper, 31*." But it does prosper, and its prosperity is what Mr. Cleveland wants to complain of to Catchings. So he turns to the next line: “Treason Nourished over us, Bloody. 114.” That might do, but a reference to page 114 shows Mr. Cleveland that bloody treason is mixed up with the tall of Great Ciesar, an unpleasant idea to contemplate. “Treason has done his worst, 1*21.’' The same objection applies. Treason has done his worst, and Duncan is in his grave; malice domestic, foreign envy, nothing can touch him further. “If this be treason, make the best of it, 429.” The same trouble again in the quotation from Patrick Henry’s speech in the convention: “Ciesar had his Brutus; Charles the First his Cromwell,” and so forth. But the seventh indication is a find: “Treason, like a deadly Idltrht, 528." That's the sort of treason he wants to impress on Catchings’ mind. Going swiftly to page 52t> he scans with the satisfaction of a discoverer these lines from “Lalla

Kook It

“Oh for a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason, lik ■ a deadly blight. Comes o’er the council* ol the brave. And blasts them in their hour of might!” Just the thing for Catchings. And so, with patient, laborious care, our president rounds out his period thus: “I take my place with the rank and Hie of the democratic party, who believe In tarllt reform and know what It Is, who refuse to accept the results einbodlisl in this bill as the end of the war, who are not blinded to Hie fact that the livery of the democratic tariff reform has been stolen and worn In the service of republican protection, and who have ■narked the places whrre the ilendlu tiUuht »/ treason ha* Mauled the rntnisd* ol the brave In their hour of mioht." It is true that the figures of speech are somewhat mixed, and that the patch line between the Hon. Grover Cleveland’s rhetoric and Tom Moore's is rather too obvious; but that doesn’t matter much. It is a precious privilege to get this glimpse of the actual workings of a massive mind in full and effective operation.

COOLER'S SEE ECU. The opening of the campaign on the part of the Democracy at the court house fell far short of what was expected. Congressman Cooper never had a harder problem to solve. He opened his speech in his own way by complimenting those who had assembled to hear him and attempted to make them believe that he was gratified with the outpouring of the masses. He then

labored for more than half an hour to show that because Thomas Jefferson believed that all men should be <>n free and equal standing that the democratic party believed the same. He then spent half an hour showing what the democratic paity had done in the way of class legislation in Indiana. His speech throughout was full of such inconsistencies anil fell far short of what his friends expected of him. Mr. Cooper studiously avoided the present condition of the laborer in this country and proposed no remedy for his present condition except to vote with the democratic party. Mr. Cooper made better democratic speeches fifteen years ago than the one made last night, and his effort fell far short of the expectations of his audit nee. In regard to wool lie said that the democratic party was united on free wool and that free wool was necessary to enable our fac tories to manufacture cheap clothing and in almost the same breath declared tlntt it was his honest opinion that the price of wool would increase.— Coin in 11 ax llri> a Illicit a. PuoitluiTioN tracts were ruled out at the dinner given the soldiers at west college, but at the same time republican campaign songs were selling as favorites in the court house yard. From this one would judge there is considerable politics —of the republican brand, too— mixed up with these soldiers' reun ions, which are always conveniently held at the opening of every campaign. and that there was some excuse for tlie remark of a G. A. R. democrat who took off' Ins badge after listening to the attack made on Cleveland by the vocalist and said, “'Ibis is nothing but a republican rally,” This gentleman resides in Greencastle and contrib uted money to help bear the expenses of the reunion.— Democrat In regard to the above a few words are necessary. The Democrat is very ineonsistent, and lays itself wide open in its criticism of the removing of some papers placed by the plates at the soldiers' dinner. In one item it argues for no politics and impartiality and in tlie next it howls for the admission of prohibition tracts. Now why should a prohibition tract be given preference over a democratic or a republican tract? The prohibition party is certainly political. The meeting was intended as a nonpolitical affair and was so conducted, and the Democrat's statement that a prohibition tract was ruled out shows that it was kept non political. It is possible that the Democrat doesn’t know the difference between a temperance tract and a prohibition tract, but it makes its argument for impartiality inconsistent by howling because what it calls a prohibition political tract was tabooed. As to the second part of its statement, caused by a street fakir singing political songs and offering his wares for sale—a man who had no more connection with the reunion than did a lemonade peddler—the reunion committee will pay the “G. A. R. democrat” quoted above back his donation with one hundred per cent, added if he w ill step out manfully and make himself known to them. Here is either a good chance for speculation, or an equally brilliant opportunity for some one to hush.

Ik the local democratic editors are not convinced that the democratic party has increased the price of sugar, they should watch size of their next dollar’s worth, is vaguely hinted, however, that they are so mad at this condition of things that they will hereafter

use no sugar.

was regrettable that the speaker wasn't feeling at his best, us he would then have spoken longer. As it was, however, his effort was one of the best ever heard here, and it is predicted by his Putnam friends that he will wipe up the earth with

Capt. Myers.

A itAitn combination to swallow but one that is swallowed at every man s dinner table is the new demo eratie tariff and the loss of twenty pounds of sugar for a dollar. Sixteen pounds go now and the careful house wife is admonishing her family to go a trifle slow with the sac-

charine howl.

Congressman Cooper tried to catch the laboring men at Columbus Monday, but they were up to his tricks, and he addressed but about sixty of them. The laboring men have enough of Cooper and his ilk. Ik the democratic government expects to realize one million dollars revenue on its tax of two cents per pack on playing cards, it will require 50,000,000 packs. That’s lots of “keerds.”

Haskell was immediately brought from Pleasant Valley, Parke county, to his home on Hanna street, where he slowly sank into death’s arms. His entire right side was affected, and he could give no messages to his family. Death relieved him of his sufferings at two o’clock p. ni. Rev. Haskell was fifty-eight years of age. The funeral occurred Tuesday morning at nine o’clock at College Avenue M. E. church. Rev. Haskell was a member of the Northwest Indiana conference, which meets this week at Lafayette.
