A new advertising rate card goes into effect at this office Monday, after which time single insertions will cost ten cents an inch, additional insertions six cents an inch. Every other day or twice-a-week advertisements will cost ten cents an inch for first time and eight cents an inch for additional insertions. Locals five cents a line. These rates are absolute, and will not be deviated from a hair. The Democrat seeks to taxe no advantage. For nearly two years 'Jwe have given our merchants a rate that failed to cover actual expense of handling, and now that our circulation is within hailing distance of the two thousand mark, we have something of value to sell, and like any enterprising and successful man of business, want a fair and just margin of profit—that is all and nothing more. Advertisers will please remember that the new advertising card will be in full force and effect on and after Monday. Judge Richard K. Erwin, of Decatur, who teels impelled about every two years to oome to Allen county and assist in keeping the one spot green, has been strangely silent since nis last visit. And yet it is certainly to be supposed that “Richard is himself again.’’ unable to grasp the fine ethics of the bench that restrains a judge from unceasing partisan activity as a practice unfitting him for a judicial career.—Fort Wayne News. It is true that Judge Erwin is a democrat, and we suppose nis poll- j tics should debar him on account of “judicial ethics”. Republicans have a fine sense of honor about the regulation of democratic officials, which they fail to apply to I themselves. A republican judge* who would fail to respond to the calls of party support, would be 1 chastised forthwith. The News] 'labors hard to show a sore toe.

The Washington dispatches pub- " lished yesterday seem to indicate that the president is weakening on his tariff revision scheme, the pres- ; j sure from the protected interests and their representatives in congress being too strong for him to withstand. If this is a correct forecast of the situation what be- > comes of the promises said to have ’ 1 been made by Mr. Rosevelt to Gov- : I ernor Cummins of lowa and others, ! that if they would forego discussion ■! until after election and all unite for the success of the party, he would urge upon congress the necessity of 1 revision.—Sentinel.

According to that the meat trust must have been a failure. I never belonged to any meat trust, and therefore their actions don’t | effect me any. I am still doing business at the old stand, and am selling meat at the lowest prices. , at what first-class meat can be sold I ' at. lam not advertising any two | , for five meats, my motto always j was "Give value received”, which . I will continue to do and I invite I the public to oome and be con-1 vinced. Ido not believe in trusts I nor do 1 believe in freezing the little fellow out.
