tucky, has been secured for sometime later. The Berne democrats .ha ve secured a large tent and will ! have speaking perhaps next week. ; Besides these the school house camI paign is waging warm with large and enthusiastic meetings. The meetings held at Pleasant Mills and the Diehl school house were record breakers, speaking as nothing else can of interest for the success of the democratic ticket. It is now in order for individual effort in the precinct organizations. Get to work. History bears out Col. 'Bryan in his charge that every panic came under republican rule and under republican tariff law. The panic of 1890 came and raged under the ( McKinley tariff. The Wilson tariff law did not go into effect until August 1894, at a time when the panic ceased. Speaker Cannon sounds a note of alarm: ‘Why, I found that the democrats have been carrying on an intensely active and efficient campaign in each of those states, and that, as a result, the sentiment for Parker has been gaining and spreading until the Roosevelt contingent seems to have shrunk away almost to the vanishing point. The fact of the matter is that unless our republican national committee wakes up and puts more ginger into tl e campaign Roosevelt will be snowed under. What’s the use of our closing our eyes to these facts. Bluff is all right in jokes, but in politics it don’t work. The people are too intelligent. ” Getting in Shape to Meet all Comers, j The High school foot ball team is working hard and getting into fine condition for the coming season. A number of deceptive trick plays are now being practiced, which should prove to be great ground gainers if carried out and put into execution properly. The team this season promises to excel any former High school team and the boys’ good work will be heard from in the future.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY. Mr. Fairbanks has entered a denial of the report that he advocated "a liberal ship subsidy” in his recent speech at Brunswick, Me., and declares that he said the Republican party might be trusted to deal with the subject in "a patriotic and sensible way.” This is a distinction without a difference, for the senator, by voting for the ship subsidy steal when the bill was before the senate showed conclusively what he regarded as "sensible” treatment of the subject. He has never said that he was mistaken when he cast that vote or that he regretted it or that he would not do it again. The first amendment to the bill was proposed by Senator Vest and this was to make applicable the law “against restraints and monopolies” to the owner of any vessel receiving a subsidy. Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge and all the Republican senators voted against it. The yeas were 25. all Democrats, and the nays 48. all Republicans. Amendment after amendment was voted down over the protest as the twenty-five Democratic senators. Senator Fairbanks voted for Senator Pettus' amendment to limit the “graft" to nine million dollars in any one year, but his colleague, Senator Beveridge, opposed thus limiting the "graft,” and, w th other Republicans, defeated the anendment. The bill finally passed without any limitation as to the amount which the treasury could be raided, and both Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge voted for it. They parted company with Senators Allison and Dolliver of lowa and Spooner and Quarles of Wisconsin, and one other Republican senator who voted with all tue Democrats against the obnoxious measure. The only possible reason now for a denial that he advocates a ship subsidy is that he is a candidate and knows the people are opposed to raiding the treasury for such a purpose. But the record of the two Indiana senators has been made, and they cannot get away from it. During the last three years Mr. Roosevelt has been presumably under the restraint of his promise to carry out the policy of the man he succeeded by accident. In those circumstances he has given an exhibition of one man power, absolutism and imperialism in the executive office which may well make the country ask what might ha not do if elected president and untrammeled by any promise of conservatism. —New York Herald. In the light of conditions at Muncie, Alexandria and Elwood, w r here 7,000 men are out of employment, where rents have fallen from an average of $2.50 to $1 per room, and where all kinds of business is depressed by the closing of factories, the Republican cry of prosperity must certainly fall on unappreciative ears.
