One of the funny paragraphers wants the table of American money changed, fie objects to the first line, “Ten mills make a cent.” He says he knows of ten mills that haven’t made a cent for three years.—Exchange.

In closing an editorial on the Fairbank’s speech the Democrat says: “Mr. Fairbanks seems ignorant of the fact that the people are aroused as never before, that they know that tariff taxation has been tried and found to only add additional burthens, that they have seen the value of their lands and the prices of their commodities steadily decrease for twenty-tnree years and that they have determined to apply the proper remedy.” The Banner Times realizes in the above that the Democrat has at last seen the weakness of its money arguments and that they are all exploded and that it now lias to go to defending the taritf position of its party. We would simply like to ask it a question for a plain answer

Does the Democrat mean to say that the lands of Putnam farmers have steadily decreased in yalue for twenty-three years? We await your answer with interest. What is it, yes or no?

The daily Democrat cries for a “breathing” spell and takes one today. The Banner Times knows no such an event. It goes on day after day giving the news. No daily paper can succeed that lays otf every time it wants breath. In running a daily newspaper there is no such thing as rest. Bktan is an artful dodger. Read one of the speeches and see how the demagogue crouches and dodges and runs away from plain facts. He never lets a ray of history strike him. He is all air and water and soft soap—a veritable soap bubble that the slightest fact would punc ture and he has to dodge or go to pieces.

The republicans of New York have nominated a man named Frank S. Black for governor. He has never been heard of out of bis locality. The only public position he has held is that of congressman which he yet holds.—Democrat. The Chicagofied democracy nominated for president Wm. J. Bryan. He had never been heard of out of his locality. The only public position he has held was that of congressman. He is an experienced man for president, isn’t he? Mr. Black, of New York, has as much distinction as has Mr. Bryan, and doesn’t aspire to so high a position. Mr. Black will he elected, however, and Mr. Bryan will not. There is the difference.

The free silver branch of the democratic party’s hand bill tries hard to discredit crowds at the republican meetings in this county. Both it and the Star-Press try to make out small crowds, etc. The people who attend know better. Every kind of desperate methods are being indulged in bydemocracy in this county. They misrepresent the size ot republican meetings and send out their runners to try to keep down attendance at republican meetings hy misrepresenting dates. The republicans are not afraid for their voters to hear democratic speeches this year, for they will then be able to hear and see how thin and gauzy democratic arguments are.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The democratic committee’s hand-bill lays off again today to take a rest after another two weeks wrestle with the daily newspaper business. It’s alleged excuse this time is that it is Labor day and a few other observances. The Bauner Times never flinches in the face of a few eyents like those of today hut will always be found on the streets and ready for delivery every day at 4 p. in. except Sunday. This thing of taking a rest of a day or week every two weeks is a poor way to build up a subscription list and the handbill will so find out. It is “labor” day every day in a first class daily newspaper office and there is no time for resting. The successful newspaper is not edited hy drones.

W. H. Harvey, the man who wrote “Coin's Financial School,” does not believe the crazy ideas of his book and is shrewd enough to know there is nothing in the fool fallacies it promotes. The following Associated Press dispatch from Chicago says: W. H. Harvey, the author of “Coin's Financial School,” refused to take silver yesterday when he drew out a deposit of $2,iiOO at the Metropolitan National hank, but insisted on being paid in gold. The paying teller demurred to [laying out gold whereat Mr. Harvey became w oth. The [laying teller was obdurate, however, and finally the man who wrote “Com” appealed to Cashier Hitchcock. He wanted to put the money in a safe-deposit box, he said, hut only as another object lesson to the people. After a long talk in the private office of the cashier, Mr. Harvey got an order to the teller to pay to amount in gold. Two minutes later he and his private secretary were hurrying from the Metropolitan National bank, in La Salle street, to the First National bank in Dearborn street, and soon after the gold was locked up in Mr. Harvey’s strong box in the safe-deposit department. Then the man who wrote “Coin” went home, feeling that part, at least, of the money he made from his book was safe against a possible panic. The republicans will have speakings galore during the next two weeks in Putnam county. Watch the dates and places.

MuillfiratiouH nnrt Notea of Interest to

Students and Matrons Alike.

Two modifications made in the workings of the school will be of interest to patrons, viz, the abandonment of “early closing” in the grades and the holding of afternoon sessions in the high school. The president superintendent found what is known as “early closing” in vogue in the schools and though having some doubt of its advisability, has not felt constrained to change heretofore. This system proposed to put a premium upon good work by excusing fifteen minutes early all those who had done ood work during the session. But ecitations had to close at that time as part were gone, thus shortening the period for recitations; and in fact a large proportion of pupils wen* dismissed at that time so that the early closing ea re to be regarded as the regular dismissal, and pupils retained thought they were kept after school hours and parents were irritated because they thought their children had been kept in. Having decided the change best for the schools, the superintendent and board determined to have no early closing. The schools will open at 8:45 and close at 12 in the forenoon, open at 1:15 and close at 3:45 in the afternoon. The first and second grades will be disnissed about twenty minutes earlier joth forenoon and afternoon. A question seems to have arisen regarding half day sessions in the first grade. There is no arrangement for such. With the share of kindergarten work and recreation the little ones have, they are as well oil at school as anywhere. In cases whete nervousness, ill health, or other sufficient cause, the best interests of the child will lie secured by attendance but a half day, the superintendent has always given a special permit to attend but a half day. However only half the work has been done and the child will probably not complete the work so as to be promoted. The Board after a careful canvass of the question and considering it for the /past year, have decided to change from one to two sessions a day in the high school. Having one session required early opening which resulted in tardiness, and short recitations in order to close at 12 and not interfere with the dinner hour in so many families. The system of one session was based on the theory that pupils who had reached the high school were mature enough to assume more direction of their own study. With the best and most earnest pupils/ this is true and the eflect good botli as to training and work done. But on the part of too large a number, the result is wasted time, poor lessons and no gain in development of self-direction. Parents do not succeed in having them remain at home to spend the afternoon in study. So while part Jo not need the restraining presence of the teacher to secure good study, the Board regarded the class who do, as so large that a gain would result from having a greater portion of study done with teachers. A.u fact there lias been for those who ■availed themselves of its advantages, an [afternoon session these past two years, as all had work they should do at the library or the school building under teachers and librarian. But it was not gompulsqry, and, on the part of some, was made an excuse for leaving home and wasting time when supposed to be at study. Perhaps no mote time with teachers will be required of earnest pupils than they already gave voluntarily, because they wished the greatest good from their school life; but those, who are disposed to get along with the least expenditure of time and effort will be required to do what others do voluntarily. A serious disadvantage to this arrangement is the fact that the library is so far from the school building, tints depriving pupils largely of the librarian’s knowledge of books. The best that can be done will be to transfer to the building from time to time such books as bear most directly on the work and send pupils to the library for special work, if the library were in connection with the school, as it is highly desirable it should be, the plan could he much more satisfactorily worked. They will still be much study to be done out of school hours. The Board is assured of the hearty cooperation of patrons in these changes for the higher usefulness of the schools. The morning session will open at 8:45 am dote at 11:48. The afternoon sessio will open at 1:15 and close at 3 :15.

WALLACE’S SHOW,

The Big Tents Pitched on Gillespie's Park- The Parade. Wallace’s show arrived in the city yesterday morning. The day being Sunday none of the rush of the week day moves was to be seen. Instead, the show dropped in quietly and at about ten o’clock began unloading. A large crowd was on hands to witness this interesting spectacle which occurred at the foot of Liberty at the intersection of the Monon tracks. The heavy wagons were then taken around on Madison street to the park. Here another large crowd was present to witness what is generally done in the early hours before the small boy is astir. A large show day crowd was in the city and Greencastle well sustained her reputation as a good show town. Promptly at ten o’clock the first bugle notes of the parade were heard and the streets along the line ot march were packed. The gorgeous chariots fine horses, mammoth elephants and the other numerous attractions were loudly cheered and the parade was a sat isfactory advertisement of what the multitude anticipated at the tents. Especially did the horses of the show attract attention. They were sleek, well fed and well kept and matched splendidly. The Wallace show this year eclipses anything the management has heretofore attempted, it is bigger and better than ever. There is an entire absence of “graft” no suspicious or gatub'ing characters, or hangers on being permitted by Mr. Wallace and his assistants. At the tent this afternoon was a crowd that placed standing room at a premium. In former years our people have always been treated to first class entertainments by the Wallace people, and they were anticipating nothing less this year. Hence the crowds, and they were not only not disappointed but were amazed at the many new features which have been added. The menagerie was crowded an hour before the circus proper began and the ever instructive animals and curios exhibited were splendidly arranged. The circus program which began at two o’clock was full of thrilling and entrancing acts which were fully up to the advertisements. The show in Greeneaitle was well liked and at the time this paper went to press this afternoon was giving the best of satisfaction. The indications are for another large audience this evening. The show is a favorite with Greencastle audiences. It has been doing an enormous business in Canada and northern United States and is on its way to the south.

Miss Grace Walden, of Putnatnville, has gone to Indianapolis to attend school.

The Presbyterian church was well filled last evening to hear the sacred concert given by the choir and orchestra. The program as printed in Saturday’s paper, was carried out. It was all the more enjoyable, coming as it did after a long period without such entertainments. The first number tiy the choir by the program was “Zion, Awake from Thy Sadness” and was the best received by the audience. Mr. Werneke’s trombone solo with the orchestra was the best of the instrumental numbers and showed his ability as a soloist, Sir. Ilillis sang “There is Rest for the Weary,” and Mr. Maxwell “Leave it to Him,” both rendered with the skill the gentlemen always use in their work. Miss Hackett sang “The Holy City,” and Miss Hammond a solo with orchestral accompaniment, which was well received. The popularity of these concerts is always attested by a standing room only crowd.

Bank President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio, is highly respected all through that section. He has lived in Clinton Co. 76 years, and has been president of the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly testifies to the merit of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and what he says is worthy attention. All brain workers find Hood .. Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted to their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength. “ I am glad to say that Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is a very good medicine, especially as a blood purifier. It has done me good many times. For several years I suffered greatly with paius of Neuralgia In one eye and about my temples, especially at night when t had been having a hard day of physical and mental labor. I took many remedies, but found help only in Hood’s Sarsaparilla which cured me of rheumatism, neuralgia and headache. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proved itself a true friend. I also take Hood’s Pills to keep my bowels regular, and like the pills very much.” Isaac Lewis, Habina, Ohio. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier.
