wages. The democratic “reform’’ tariff doesn’t pay expenses of the government by millions of dollars a month and has caused the bor rowing of millions and millions of dollars to keep up the expenses of the government, anti the working men lost their jobs aad had their wages reduced. If our contemporary can find any comfort out of this redeemed pledge of the democratic platform of 1892 it is wel come to it. That “reformed” tariff should be handled with a pair of ; tongs by the Democrnt. Prof. Wiggins insists that the great lakes are drying up. As most of them are several hundred feet deeper than the level of the ocean there will be no difficulty about turning them iuto salted seas.

The Cloverclale Sev/iml this week states that the national debt is increasing at the rate of $2,000,000,000 per month. The paper no doubt meant $2,000,000 per month. The latter figure is enough, however, and shows how that “reformed” tariff is getting in iis

work.

In the grand jury indictments i tin: absence of liquor cases is noticeable. Violations of liqour laws were not considered for the reason that no violations were brought before that body and the first batch of indictments in years is turned out without the familiar “selling without license” ‘selling on Sunday” etc., etc., in the list. There is a cause for this and the new liquor laws form that cause. The incident points to the conclusion that the new laws are being obeyed.

The Democrat volunteers the information today that the demo (•ratio party has “reformed the tariff. ' There is something wrong with that tariff surely. With the government running behind several millions a month on expenses in excess of receipts it looks like that reformed tariff' was a failure. The tariff the republican party gave the county provided for the payment of all expenses and left money in the treasury besides. It also gave every working man a job at good

The (Hole-Democrat says: The great trouble with the democratic parly is that it is obliged to be on the wrong side of all important ! questions in order to he against the ! republican party. Are we or are we not to have a telephone svstem in Greencastle? Tlie t*.l**iii(‘vit« of Advertising. Mote things enter into advertising than are generally supposed. In fact, everything that connects a name and a business in people's minds is advertising. Membership in churches and clubs and societies, the giving of social entertainments, public dimity—all these things and more are advertising, but greater and broad er, and better and easier than all these is newspaper advertising. You may think of that without thinking of the other plans, but no scheme of publicity is complete without the newspaper. Properly prosecuted, newspaper advertising will always pay. That here and there is a mac. who says: “Advertising doesn't pay. I’ve tried it,” proves nothing but that his method was fault}’. Advertising is business news. It tells of things which are of great daily importance. It is of more account to the frugal housewife to know where she can get certain necessary commodities at a less price than usual than are all the troubles in Cuba or llehring seas. The news should be new. It should not be allowed to become stale with repetition in the same old

way.

If you can only advertise in a small way, pick out the best paper in your territory and spend all of your advertising money in that. Don't scatter. When your business grows, and you can spend more money, buy more space in the same paper, until you are using all you profitably can. Then add another paper. I would rather have one good “ad.” than half a dozen poor ones. When “hunting for bear” 1 would rather take the best gun I had anil load it properly than to scatter my powder in half a dozen poor guns, and so “make a flash in the pan.” Merely publishing your name, address and business wi I do some good, but there’s a better way. He different from the others in your line. Find points in which you excel end harp on that. Give prices and specialties. Try to make the advertisements interjst ing and readable. Make them characteristic of your store, and above all things, make them true in letter and in spirit. Don’t say you haven’t the time to attend to your advertising properly. Really, you haven’t the time to do anything else. Advertising is the most important thing about any business. It is the vital spark. What good does it do you to have the very best thing or the very best bargain on earth if the people do not know it?

The Jury Krcen Terry SfeGinnla After Hearing the Evidence. Columbus Republican. The evidence in the McGinnis ease was all given to the jury yes terday afternoon. The judge decided to give the attorneys on each side two hours to present their case to the jury anti adjourned until 8 o’clock this morning. Promptly at the time for court to open M. E. Emig took the floor in the opening speech for the prosecution. He reviewed Mr. Piercitield’s opening speech to the jury and the testimony as it had been given. He poinied out the points favorable to his side. J. S. Cox followed Mr. Emig. He spoke in behalf of the defendant ami pointed out the unreliability of circumstantial evidence. He also took up the testimony and opened it to view from a ditferent stand point than Mr. Emig. Following Mr. Cox came Anderson Piercifield will) the final effort of the defense. Mr. Piercifield is evidently in sympathy with his client from the sympathy he shows. As he presented his side of the ease he grew very eloquent and asked the jury for justice to the young man. He closed with a review of the testimonv con cerning the lost poeketbook. Mr. Wall-man was the last speaker anti he grew sarcastic as he spoke of the defendant. He appealed to the juryman to do their duty as citi zens to protect the property of themselves anil their neighbors. The judge then adjourned court until 1 o’clock when he would deliver the charge to the jury. Promptly at 1 o’clock Judge llord commenced his address to the jury. He spoke very clearly regarding circumstantial evidence, and that should one link te miss ing the chain would be broken. He also clearly defined the law reganling larceny. The jury then retired to the anti room. Ttie jury was out about thirty minutes when they returned with a verdict of not guilty. Theseene that transpired between the defendant and his sisters and friends was very touching. A Reported Killing. An important ruling on mail has been made by the postoffice department. Since printers have counterfeited the writing of typewritt rs, the postal officials have often been in a quandary .to distinguish the typeset matter from the typewritten, and confusion in determining the class to which letters belong has been annoying. In the new ruling postmasters are ordered to classify its first-class mail any matter resembling typewritten copy, whether written or not. Thousands of ctr culars are daily sent in the counterfeit type in order to make them appear to the receiver as personal letteis. All such circulars will lie held in tiie future for 2 cent instead of a 1 cent stamp.

Klee! inn of Otttrem.

The devotional exercises yesterday morning were conducted by J. P. Davis, of Terre Haute. The secretary A. L. Orcutt, of Danville, made a report of the work of the district, showing forty-eight churches with a membership of nearly live thousand. Several new houses of worship have been built, and others are in process of con struction. The report was very full of information and called forth expressions of commendation from

the convention.

Rev. Furguson read an excellent paper on “Extreme Congregationalism.” and W. H. Brown followed with an address on “Our Missions” using the black board with good effect to bring out the important facts. Rev. Davis talked on the Home Work” and awakened much interest on the subject. The discussion that followed was quite

general and profitable.

The afternoon session was opened with reading and prayer by T. J. Freed and the Sunday School work was at once taken up. The subject “The Inlluence of the S. S. on Christian Living” was well presented by S. G. Smith of .Jamestown, L. E. Murray, of Ladoga, discussed “Our Plea” in the S. S. and urged that teachers should not neglect the doctrinal teaching of tiie church. The address was well received and most heartily endorsed by a number of tiie ministers and delegates. J. P. Davis presented the importance of using “Our Own Literature in tiie S. S ”, but in sistel that all good literature, by whomsover published, was “our literature.” lit: depreciated the use of trashy publications and ad vised their disuse at once. T. J. Shuey, of Waveland, arrived just in time to discuss the topic assigned him, “Children’s Day in tiie S. S.”and took very decided ground that it should be observed. His address was full of enthusiasm and wise suggestions. “Prayer in the S. S.”was presented by T. J. Freed, of Terre Haute, and it was suggested that it should lie luief, and to the point. Elder Buis, of Greencastle, made a good address on “Confessions in the S. S.” and insisted that this important work of bringing the children to Christ] should not lie overlooked or neg- j leete I. The convention was then j addressed by Mr. A. 1). Hamrick, of Hamrick Station, who lias been a member of the church for nearly fifty years but is still a Sunday school scholar and deeply interested
