Excuses can and have been made for smoking, chewing, drinking, loafing, whittling, tattling, tramp ing, and a host of other habits and questionable acts, but no one does or can defend the habit of swearing. Of all the poor specimens of humanity the poorest is the habitual and persistent user of profanity and vulgarity. His example before boys is like a rotten apple among sound ones, like rust in fine machinery, like distemper, among i horses, cr murrain in cattle. The man who swears is a violator of law and subject to fine. The commonness of the use of profane language and laxity in the enforcement of the law has a tendency to spread this moral leprosy. It is a common thing to hear boys on the onskirts of town swearing like t r ooperB for no other reason than it seems to be smart. An example should be made of some one, that others might he warned to desist.

Palmer and Buckner doesn’t sound unmusical, at all. Kokomo has a new daily evening newspaper, The New*, published by VV. H. A E. T. Staley, formerly of Frankfort There stands open a splendid opportunity for the boy orator of Putnam to explain away Vermont’s increased republican sound money majority.
The size of the county newspapers indicates which party is doing the educating. The republican papers have each week on the average of from four to eight pages ex tra while the democratic papers have hard work getting out their regular eight page editions. The committee’s hand bill claims to be a newspaper, yet it did not
Take the entire coterie of speeches that the local free silver democrats have put in the tield in this city and what do they amount as compared to such a speech us that of Mr. Fairbanks. The silver democrats have had Smiley, Shonkwiler, Jim Hillis, M. L. Daggy, Col. Matson, John K. East and Mexico Burris. What a galaxy of stais that is. But one of them has tried to make a logical speech and that was Col. Matson, but he made such a signal failure that he wasn’t taken seriously at all and wasn't given the credit of sincerity. Men with memory of ten years know that the Colonel knew other than he spoke and that he had locked up his mind’s memory since ’73, so it couldn’t see anything else in the past twenty years. Where are silver democrats to get firstclass orators this year? The best men are in the National democratic party state they will speak for sound money against the dogmia and fal lacies of the silver crowd that is growing less every day. When the best democratic newspapers in the laud and the best democratic orators in the land espouse the cause of National democracy aad cast aside the chimera of free silver it is a good evidence that the brains and sound sense of democracy is for sound money. The Indianapolis democrats are not bolters. They are the only democrats who have held a convention this year. The others are popocrats and in their mad chase after populistic support have thrown away every claim to democracy. Mr. Fairbanks made the telling point that “every man who works for wages should keep in mind the fact that William J. Bryan was
one of the free-trade leaders in congress and that he voted and worked for the passage of the WilsonGorman anti-protection law which resulted, as everybody knows, in throwing hundreds of thousands of laborers out of employment and turning an era of prosperity into a long period of universal depression.’ - The free silver democaatic committee’s band bill has taken much satisfaction from the Indianapolis Sentinel, which we believe is now in the same branch of the democratic party with the hand bill, , though we must confess that these numerous democratic parties bother us some. In speaking of the Na tioual democratic convention Thursday the Sentinel said of Grover Cleveland, to whom the hand bill has been rather cold lately: Whatever else is objectionable about this boiling democratic convention now assembled in this city, its loyalty to President Cleveland is praiseworthy and much to be admired. The Sentinel fully endorses the t convention in this respect. Grkencastle republicans owe it as a duty to devote time tomorrow afternoon to attend the speaking in the court house yard. Dr. A. H. Moore will be here and he deserves a large audience. This will be the only opportunity this campaign to hear him in Greencastle as all his time will be taken up in the precinct canvass he will make. Dr. Moore makes a strong, logical speech and one that compares favorably with the best heard here this campaign. Hear him at 1:30 o’clock. In 1891 when John M. Palmer, of Illinois, was elected to the United States senate Captain J. J. Smiley walked up and down the streets of our city saying that Mr. Palmer was the grandest old man in the country. Mr. Palmer hasn't done anything wrong since except adhere strictly to democracy but Capt. Smiley now doesn’t love Senator Palmer. Mr. Watson will be notified. How? Possibly on a postal card. He is not particular how it is done. The committee can wink at him across the bloody chasm and he will understand the situation. Democratic history will be made from the date of the Indianapolis convention, not the Chicago meet-
ing.
The Vermont farmers have set a splendid example to the farmers of the country. A Splendid Meeting. At Me Haflie’s School house in South Washington last night a re publican meeting was held that was the largest in point of numbers, ever assembled at that place. About 75 people found seats and standing room on the inside while others stood about the door of the building on the outside. The meeting was addressed by B. F. Corwin and H. C. Lewis, and a republican club was organized with a membership of 47. Following are the names of the gentlemen selected as officers of the club : President, William Donnald; vice presidents, Ezra Crouse, John Risler, Richard Johnson; secretary, Jo sepb Cullon. The club will meet at Brick Grove school house or next Thursday night Sept. 10th at 7 o’clock p. m. This is the largest political club ever organized in South Washington. About onehalf of those present last night were democrats and populists who listened with great interest to the speeches.

THURSDAY’S MEETINGS Fairbanks and Johnston Speak Twice to Large Crowds. The Fairbanks-Johnston meeting at Brick Chapel on Thursday afternoon was all that could he expected owing to the threatening weather and the heavy rain fall of the proceeding night. The morning meeting was therefore abandoned but in the afternoon there were several hundred people present, who braveu the chances of a wetting in order to put in their beet licks for republicanism. Owing to the condition of the weather and the fact that he was in the midst of a long campaign Mr. Fairbanks did not speak more than twenty minutes as his voice was not adapted to outdoor speaking. Mr. Johnston, who is at home at Brick Chapel made a longer speech and kept the crowd well entertained. He makes some excellent points in his own blunt way that are lasting and convincing. Mr. Johnston has a large following at Brick Chapel and in northwestern Putnam, who swear by “Jim” and they never miss one of his red hot political talks. The managers of the Brick Chapel meeting have no cause for regret. They have earned the title of political hustlers and the good meeting they had in the face of all kinds of obstacles shows that they know how to whoop things up. Rain was unfortunate and it eut down an anticipated attendance, but in that the meeting was a good one, and the Brick Chapel republicans won laurels. They did nobly and want one more chance, they
say.
EVENING MEETING. At 3 o’clock it was decided by the central committee to hold a meeting in the evening at the court house. Wont reached here too late for announcement in the daily Banner Times but dodgers were printed and distributed just before supper time. Mr. Fairbanks was announced to speak and the result was that at 7:15 o’clock the house was lull. The crowd kept coming and by 7:30 there wasn’t an available seat left. They kept coming and every nook and corner was filled; still they came and standing room was at a premium. The McKinley quartet, consisting of Messrs. Burlingame, Fry. Sta r and Graham, which with John P. Hillis had mad# music in the afternoon sang again in the evening and for fifteen minutes entertained the crowd handsomely. They are deserving young men and do not shirk when duty calls them. Mr. Fairbanks spoke for over an hour and ho never made a better political effort. His Greencastle speech outranks the one made by him at St. Louis when he was temporary chairman af the Republican convention. It was clear, logical and unanswerable. Mr. Fairbanks Mothers Anxiously watch declining health of their daughters. So many are cut off by consumption in early years that there is real cause for anxiety. In the early stages, when not beyond the reach of medicine, Hood's Sarsaparilla will restore the quality and quantity of the blood and thus give good health. Read the following letter: “It Is but just to write about my (laughter Cora, aged 19. She was completely run down, declining, had that tired feeling, and friends said she would not live over three months. She had a bad Cough and nothing seemed to do her any good. I happened to read about Hood’s Sarsaparilla and had her give It a trial. From the very first dose she began to get better. After talcing a few bottles she waa completely cured and her health has been the best ever since.” Mils. Annin P*ck, 12 Railroad Place, Amsterdam, N. T. “1 will say that my mother haa not stated my case In as strong words as I would have done. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has truly enred mo and I am now wall.’' Cora Pkck, Amsterdam, N. Y.

began at 1792 and took up coinage matters, bring them down to 1873 and showed how but eight million silver dollars bad been coined; then showed that these were not in circulation and in stopping further coinage of them was virtually wip ing off the books a dead statute. He then reviewed the condition of the country since 1873, showed that democratic inconipetency, tariff tinkering ami lack of confidence by the people in the democratic party was what was causing the bard times, and then with telling force clinched his point by showing that the eight million silver dollars which had been coined but were not in circulation could not have had anything to do with the case, further making the point with splendid effect that silver dollar coinage had been resumed and gave figures to prove every point he made. Half of the speech was devoted to the money question and then the speaker linked that into the tariff question so adroitly and nicely that the dividing line could not be told. He showed that this campaign was one of education and nothing proved this more conclusively than that the audience took greater interest if possible in the tariff than the money argument, for the speaker proved that the tariff was what was the trouble. “Coin confidence,” said be, “instead of silver and the country will be safe.” Distrust at democracy, their over throw of the tariff system is what plunged the country into a panic; it was not the stopping of the coinage of a few millions of silver dollars 23 years ago which immediately went out of circulation.” The only crime ever committed said Mr. Fairbanks, was that of 1892 when democracy took up the government and caused the people to lose confi dence rapidly. Mr. Fairbanks’ speech was full of good things and his reasoning was clear and forceful. Mr. Janies T. Johnston followed in a few minutes’ talk in which he gave democracy an unmerciful scoring and stirred up additional enthusiasm. The large audience remained to the end of both speeches and women as well as men stood in the crowded aisles for nearly two hours. For a spontaneous meeting it was a rouser; for if it had been advertised an hour or two longer two or three court houses could not have held the out pouring. The meeting was the largest and most enthusiastic of the campaign and it showed clearly that “the people” are on the right side of the question of politics and that free silver craze is dying out.
