Anoi Tthe biggest piece of chump legislation we have heard of is the action of Corsaw the Clay county commissioner. The board down there stands two republicans and one democrat yet Corsaw turned against his party and elected a democrat for clerk. We wonder what Corsaw imagines he is on eartti for anyhow when it comes to polities. We sympathize with our neighboring republicans that they have been so badly treated by one of their own party.
Call and see him before ing elsewhere.

The price of nails has doubled in the past few weeks and the price of iron bridges has increased about forty per cent. Our democratic commissioners found this fact out last week when they advertised and received bids on an iron structure from twenty different firms, having finally to build a wooden one. We would mildly ask our democratic commissioners who voted for the Wilson bill on account of its widely advertised democratic promises of “cheap goods to consumers,” how about consuming a few iron bridges. The fact that the Wilson bill is a delusion and a snare was never better or more forcibly exemplified than right, here in Putnam on this bridge question.

In the last two weeks the expenditures of the Government have been $13,510,000 more than the receipts. That is democratic financeiring with a democratic ven geance. A couN crop of 2,400,000,000 is being figured on. Tins is done in the face of the fact that a few chinch bugs were found in the ticlds of John Doe, Richard lioe, Joe Rube and others. Corn is king this trip.
No man is too poor to take iiis local newspaper, says an exchange, and it is false economy to get along without it. Hardly a week passes that something does not appear in its columns that will be a financial benefit to the subscriber, and by the end of the j’ear he has made or caved from one to twenty times its subscription price. The city papers do not take the place of your local paper, although some people seem to think they do. The city papers are all right in their way but they don’t give you what you are most interested in—your local and country news. You cannot learn (rom them when public meetings are to be held, who are dying or who are marrying, who are moving out, court proceedings, who wants to sell land—in fact, hundreds of items which might he of particular importance for you to know. Such matter city papers cannot furnish, hut your local paper can and does.
Gkekn Smith will try to be nominated for governor. We would like just about one more tilt with Greene. If he had made a few moie speeches hereabouts last campaign, Putnam would have been saiely republican. TheCrawfordsville,/ournol aptly says: “There is a vast difference between a raise of wages from a normal standard, and a small raise from the depths of an abnormal cut. During 1893 and 1891 wages were cut in all industries from 25 per cent, to as high as 60 per cent. A small percentage of the mills and factories have raised wages from 5 to 15 per cent, from the frightful cut of ’93 and ’94, and democratic newspapers arc shouting themselves
A prominent citizen remarked today on the good wording and attractiveness of the Banner Times advertising columns. He said there was a noticeable increase in the ads in the daily and stated he noticed there were many more people who read ads. than formerly. The gentleman making the lemark thus attests the general impression that a live daily paper is of great benefit to the city. As the debate progresses in the same ratio does Harvey’s argument take on the sound of lead and the general characteristic of mud. The tall corn liar is abroad in the land. Nothing but a stalk of corn or a sworn affidavit goes with the Banner Times.
THOSE GREENCASTLE BOYS Kverjbo«ly Want* to th** Member* of Gallant Company I. Special Correspondence Banner Times. Fairvtew, July 22, 189f).—Last uight was the first night in quarters and was attended with the usual noise and hilarity with which the beginning ot camp is always celebrated. All is quiet this morn ing and the regular camp program has begun. We received our hats and leggins yesterday. They make a great change in the appearance of the company and Serg’t Morris is hardly able to distinguish his own men. when he wants to make a detail. Lieut. Starr had first choice of leggins, it was necessary that he should, and when he finally succeeded in getting a pair to fit he got them on upside down. He intends to sleep in them hereafter to avoid mistakes. Quarter-master Serg’t Chittenden is happy in his new duties, he succeeds in getting very good “grub” for camp. One of our cooks deserted Saturday night, one trip through the mud to camp was enough fur him, he prefers the brick walks of Greencastle. Co. I still maintains its old time popularity, everybody knows “that Greencastle company.” Our quarattracted many visitors yesterday, chiefly friends of the company and old members. All kinds of amusements are indulged in in the evening. Lieut. Starr is the leader of a good quartet, which is quite an attraction. Our boxing gloves were also brought along, and many friendly matches are held. Lieut. Fry is easily the champion. NOTES. Major Fee comes around occasionally to see how we are getting along. (’orp'l Wood, the last addition to the non-commissioners, is a good officer. Sergt. Mooris has a disabled hand. He still performs bis duty, however. No one has yet answered sick call. Our mess sued is an architectural wonder. Wood and Graham were the designers. Corp’l Gahley’s pugilistic tendencies have resulted in a black eye. I). F. A.
Aii AftMiirtMl Success. On last Saturday we announced that the Greencastle Manufacturing company only lacked $1,400 of having enough stock subscribed for to complete the required amount. Since that time Allen Brothers have subscribed for two shares, Tims. O’Connell donated $100, and Father McLaughlin subscribed for one share. The whole amount will likely be taken before the day closes. There is a strong disposition on the part of those who can not aid to lend their good will and to stop croaking and this alone may be considered as the most hopeful sign that has appeared in Greencastle for years. The Greencastle Manufacturing company is an assured success. Don't try to cry it down, you will be unpopular if you do.
Hotel ( hanges. Negotiations are on between John Cooper, landlord of the Commercial hotel and W. A. Stultz, of the Kureka house, of Franktort, for the sale of the former house to the latter named gentleman. The deal is for the fixtures and furniture only as the building was purchased last month from Wm. L. Elder, of Indianapolis, by John Selwin, of Mar shall, 111. Mr. Cooper stated to a reporter today that while the trade was not closed that he was in re eeipt of a letter from Mr. Stultz in which he said it was about as good as made. The change will probably occur with next month’s business. John Kesterson has purchased the furniture and fixtures of the National house, 118 west Washington street, formerly owned by Mrs. Thos. Bivin. and will take possession on Thursday. K«-»l K.ntntr Trnimtrrn Charles W. HuKh<-«to Pennington ft Pitcher land In Roachdalc, $1100. Lizzie Rogers to Isaac E.

WASHINGTON LETTER
THE LATEST POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM THE CAPITAL. Int«»r«‘fttiiiK Doing* ot Public M«*n, ami a Diult of Spire Here amt There a* Srrn By Our Special Correspondent—Note*, Incidents, Etc*.
Washington, July 22.1895. Caesar, Cromwell anil Napoleon were in their days considered powerful, but the power exercised by them over tbe expenditures of their respective nations was not greater than that now claimed for a subordinate official of the U. S. Treasury. According to this claim, the comptroller has the authority to refuse payment of appropriations made by Congress and approved by tbe President, w believer he believes, or make a pretense ol believing, that said payment would be unconstitutional, and tbe claiment has no redress or appeal, except to enter suit for the amount claimed in the court of claims. The first notice of this remarkable claim of authority was given several days ago when a voucher for about !|!l-• <,,M, , in favor of tbe Oxnard Company, of Nebraska, manufacturers of beet sugar, was held up by the Comptroller, ami tbe company notified that the < 'omptroller would hear argument as to the constitutionality of tbe Act of Congress appropriating $23R,OIH) to pay tbe bounty on beet sugar manufactured before the repeal of the bounty clause of tbe McKinley law. The Comptroller says lie believes the sugar bounty law to have been unconstitutional, which is a little queer, in view of bis having allowed $12,000,000 or thereabouts, to be paid out under that law during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, without a protest. The real tacts ill this business are well known. Comptroller Bowler is merely a figure head, who repeats bis lesson just as it is taught to him. In addition to the money appropriated for the beet sugar makers, there was $5,000,000 appropriated by the Congress to pay deferred sugar bounties—they will be deferred sure enough, it seems. This money the administration doesn’t wish to pay out until a Republican Congress shall have put more money in the National Treasury. Comptroller Bowler has been swelled up by praise and made the tool of smarter men to carry out this idea. The same tactics are, according to current report, to be used to defer payment on the contract made with the International Steamship Company for the transportation of mails to Europe. The contract was made by Mr. Wanamaker, when he was Postmaster General, under an Act of Congress, and includes the use of the steamships owned by the company as government cruisers in time of war. That mysterious Cabinet meeting has naturally been the subject of much gossip and of numberless rumors. That the Spanish minister, who came to Washington about the same time that Secretary Gluey did, if he did not accompany him, was the cause of this Cabinet meeting is certain, and that it discussed the Cuban revolution. All el-r is conjecture, owing to the air of mystery with which those who attended this meeting have since surrounded themselves, although it is difficult to imagine any good reason why there should be any secrecy as to the position this govern men t occupies towards either Spain or the re/oluting Cubans. Rumor says the Spanish minister went so far as to ask that those Amcieau editors who are disposed to sympathize with the Cubans should be muzzle by tbe Secretary of Stale. The administration would seem to have about all the muzzling it can attend to, in trying to shut the mouths of the Silver democrats, without tackling the editors of tha country, although Secretary Gluey is probably fully in accord with the idea
of a press censorship.
The Pupulists are much chagrinned over the latest phase of the reorganization of the Senate at the beginning of the coming session of Congress. They have been confidently counting upon being asked to join the republicans in

the reorganization and, of course, receiving a liberal share of the Committee chairmanships and of the Senate patronage. It has lately come out that many of tbe Republican Senators would much rather not reorganize the Sena.e than to do it with the assistance of the Populists. This wasn’t pleasing to tbe democrats, who do not wish to retain control of tbe committees without tbe power to control votes enough to carry anything through, and some of them have intimated to tbe Republicans their willingness to vote for a reorganization that will divide the chairmanships and the patronage batween the Republicans and the Democrats, leaving the Populists out altogether. No one litis authority to accept this or any other proposition concerning reorganization until it shall have been submitted to a caucus of Republican Senators, but all tbe same its consumation is probable enough to have destroyed tbe extensive air castles which the Pupulists have been building on tbe belief that they would hold the balance of power and could dictate their own terms for the reorganization of the Senate.
