around about the low tax rate of Putnam county, but they do not bay one word about the abnormally high valuation the county board places on all farm lands. The taxes of some of our best farmers in Putnam county are eating them up all because of a tremendously high assessment which is made high in order to sustain a low rate which is made low in order to deceive the average voter. The democratic papers of Putnam county are lying to the people one way or the other. They say the farmer’s laud has steadily fallen in value along with the price of silver, and in the face of that have steadily raised the assessment valuation of such lands in order to provide boodle for a corrupt court house gang. The voters of Putnam should insist on an explanation of where about ifSOOO is going that is saved to the county on the one item of reduction in county officers’ salaries. Putnam people should not let the free silver howl of democracy overshadow local issues. Locally is where the shoe pinches hardest up on the honest farmer.

| means that Ml. Holt knows that j honest money is what the people I want and it means that he has seen I the inherent rottenness of the free l silver branch of democracy. Mr. Holt is no fool. He is an astute politician. He has sense enough to see the handwriting on the wall and will not be made a fool of or a tool of a free silver governor who is and has been making a gigantic political ass of himself ever since a presidential bee got into bis bonnet. The local free silver combination feels the force of Mr. Holt’s withdrawal keenly and it grinds them about as badly as did the Indianapolis National democratic convention.

shows conclusively that when Mr. I Ridpath wrote his book in 1881 that he hadn't at that t.me discovered any “crime oi ’73.” That was along about the time when Col. Matson was making his campaign lor congress and was seeking by I ever}* means to be elected, but he, too, couldn’t trump up the ’73 dodge at that time.

The Banneh Times desires to say a word to our populist friends on local matters. One of the arguments of the populists is that the land of the farmer is declining til value. If the argument of the populist is true each and every one of them should form himself into a committee ot one to defeat the democratic party in Putnam county. The democratic party care nothing for the populist nor do they heed the statements ol the populists that farms are growing poor, for the Putnam count}* officials insist on an outrageously high valuation placed on land in order that they may collect a great amount ol taxes, with a low tax rate. Populists should examine into this matter.

Democracy has lost its Holt.

The ing.

free silver cause is waver-

Fuee silver democracy should spit on Rs hands and take a fresh Holt.

On this matter of democratic chairmen not being strictly in line with their party a word or two on the local situation would not be out of place. It is generally believed, and it is not denied by democrats when spoken to on the subject, that Chairman Colliver of the local free silver county democratic committee is not in accotd with the free silver craze. Mr. Colliver isn’t saying much, and local democratic howlers do not howl when the charge is throw n in their teeth that their own county chairman is not in favor of a free silver fallacy.

Democratic

In a recent estate being adjusted in Greeueastle there lias come to light a bond against the county for $■-’.000, issued tun years or more ago which bond is drawing $120 per year interest. In a law suit in Circuit court several terms ago $4,000 worth of such bonds were developed. They are written with a pen and are and have been kept in the dark and in the hands of favored democrats in order that they might find a profitable investment and in order that the county gang 1 might cover up an indebtedness hanging over th« county of which the average voter knows nothing. The democratic papers of this county say that the county is free from debt. We defy them to publish to the county the rocords of this issue of bonds of which the ones cited are but a part. There is no telling how many such bonds are lying around in the hands of favored investors. The $0,000 above mentioned is probably but a small share of the amount upon which Putnam is paying interest. This is another matter the voters of this county should insist upon having cleared up before election time.

Graham The first address of the evening was made by Bishop Bowman during which he gave an extended account of his personal recollections of the university, he having been its president for fourteen consecutive yeors. “During my life.” he said. “I have made a personal investigation of the colleges of this land, and I find t '-ice as many conversions in the denominational schools as in the nondenominationul. This, if for no other, should he a goo.i reason for sending your boys to the denominational

schools.”

Tne speaker told bow be had been influenced by the interest taken in him by his first minister. He thought one of the greatest mistakes made by the ministers of today is that they Mo not look after the young men and influence them to attend the denominational schools. In closing, he said lie was proud to look around and see the men who had been under him. He walked over to where President Gobin was -itting and patting him on the head, said : “Here is one of mj boys, and I am always proud to claim him.” The next speaker introduced was Rev. H. J. Talbott. During his talk, lie said: “DePauw was organized by the ministers, and it is very important that every young minister should become enthusiastic 111 the support of the institution. It becomes all ministers to see that their people understand that tlie school is worthy of support, and also that it needs it” In conclusion, the speaker explained that it was no new thing for a school to call upon its patrons for aid. By investigation it has been found that there is hardly a school in existence that has not had such an experience. Next on the program was a beautiful solo by John Ilillis, of Grecncastle, ami chorus bj’ the quartette in the gallery. Miss Sidelia Starr, of DePauw, spoke in support of the university. Her subject being from the woman’s standpoint, she talked on “The College Women.” Her talk was well received and showed her to be an orator of ability. During her talk she gave a history of co-education, and showed that DePauw was the tirst university to throw open its doors to the women in all departments. She concluded by showing that college women have proven the best wives in

the world.

The last speaker of the evening was Rev. W. D. Parr. His address was a stirring one. In the course of his remarks he said: “DePauw University was a necessity at the time of its foundation and since conditions have not changed it is a necessity today.” In closing he said: “It becomes every minister in the range of my voice to bring the school before the people so that it cannot be said that DePauw is doing more for the citizens o! the state than they are doing for DePauw.” The meeting was closed by the speaker calling for the DePauw yell, which was
