It is now given oat that VicePresid.nt Morton has not engaged in the saloon business, but we believe the denial is not over his own name. A meeting of the Jasper county Democratic Central Committee was held in Rensselaer last Saturday. David W Shields was elected Chairman and James W. McEwen, Secretary. The court in Montana has ordered the republican judges of elections to count the districts they had determined to throw out. Thus the attempt to make an infamous steal tas been thwarted. The democrats will have a major«J ity of the legislature on joint ballot. MahoDe, the rebel brigadier whose sin of treason was washed away on his entrance into the republican fold, republican candidate for govunnr of Virginia, was arrestad the thor day ou charge of shooting a jollifier at Petersburg, Va. He was admitted to bail. The Australian system where in operation in the elections last Tuesday wa3 in every instance beneficial to the Democracy. Let the Democracy of republican-rid-den Jaspe. County 7 take courage. We will not be in the least surprised if republicanism is downed in this county at the next general election. Take courage! Rally along the whole line!! ■» » Our neighbor each week devotes considerable space to the produce tions of the ‘Home Market Club,’ an institution maintained by the monopolists of the land. A strong republican farmer the other day remarked to us that “It is a h-1 of a home market-wheat 55, oats 15, other cereals away down, cattle lf@2c, hogs next to nothing. Yes, it’s ah lof a home market. They don’t fool me with that kind of chaff again.”

GETTING READY FOR BUSINESS.

Rensselaer. Nov. s.—[Sp-ciai. ] —The democrats have reorganized their county committee by electing David W. Shields chairman and James W. McEwen secretary. Mr. Shields is a young, active democrat and a faithful worker. Mr. McEwen’s democracy is of such a character that no disap-, pointment can shake it, and through sunshine and shadi h« works vigorously for the cause. With such a committee, and tariff reform| as the watchword, look out for a good showing in the future. The above good words we clip from the Indianapolis Sentinel, and assure the author that Mr. Snields, ourself and the commit tee will strive to justify his expectations. BOUGHT BY THU TRUST. The state board of education accepted the new series of school books. The state board of education i R rf »p n b]ican. If the books ivere not good they should not have been accepted. As they were accepted, we presume that the state board was more c u latent to judge than the average republican editor. The truth of the mat.er is the whole republican pre'-s (with nowand tlun an exception) is bought, body, soul, and breeches by the trust.—Starke County Jpedger. - ■ ■ —■ Our neighbor thinks the lase grand ju.y didn’t understand its i duties.

The Australian Ballot in Connecticut.

The New York Times dispatch from Hartford says: “The secret envelop" ball t, which was used for the first time in this State at the elections Monday, has elated its friends and silenced its opponents. Could a popular vote be ordered concerning its continuance it wo’d be rewritten on the statute booi., even with the minor defects n :*ted, i»v a tremendous majority throughout the State. To all intents and pnrpcse it g'-ive what it purported to —a secret ballot. The persistency of ticket and paster peddlers, who were able under the old system to pursue a man to the very ballot-box itself, was wholly esl- - by the voter under the new law, which prohibits these election pests from coming within L‘)o feet of tht polL. “The elector’s booth gave the vo'er place and opportunity to arrange hi? ballot to suit himself. — During the three minutes allowed him by law in tie booth he was free from outside influence and intimidation of every kind The voting was the freest which has taken place in the State for 30 years. In two conspicuous instances the political effectiveness of the law* was tie nons'wated. The Democrats at Windsor Locks nominated a ticket notoriously unfit for support. Eq spite of the fact that he town is a Democratic stronghold, the secret ballot defeated the party managers and turned lhe control of public interests over to the opposition for the year. At Norwich ttm tables were turned on the Republicans who had stabiished a political bossism that had prevailed since th da vs of Buckingham. In neither of these towns would Monday’s result have been possible under the old svstem. The new law has proved itself in principle the mortal foe of corrupt and dishorest politics.” A New York Sun dispatch from Norwich says: “Since the civil war times this town has been kno .vn all over southern New England as the ‘Citadel of Connecticut Re* publicans. To day every buttress of the citadel which has been sha ken for several years got a clean knock out r low, and the old thing was tumbled into the moai of public repudiation. The secret ballot helped to do it, for in no part of the Union has political bulldozing on the part of the mill towns been more flagrantly and audaciously exercised. In some of the mill villages it has jbeen worth a mill hand’s job for him to vote openly, as he Pad to do under the old time ballot for Democratic national or township offices. Often ’.lien the hands employed by the mosi powerful corporations were driven in the mill teams in squads of thirtr or forty to the polls, and all overseers walked with the vorer to the boxes to be sure that he cast the ballot the bosses had prearranged he should deposit. To-day e3ch voter was compelled by law to prepare his ba’lot in one of the numerDu little booths provided for that purp se, and screened by closed dowrs, place his ballot in an envelope and se T that envelope before ne c mil legally go to the ballot box an d deposit it.”

A FARM VIEW.

A bushel of oati ior a pound of binding twine; a pound of butter for a pound of sugar. This is about the condition of the home market f r which tue farmers voted last fall. If they don’t like it, there .s no one to blame but themselves. because the cities and manufacturing districts, as a rule, voted the other way. If protection makes high w r ages, the farmers ought to come in for their share but on this deal it looks as if they were “getting left.”—Savannah Journal. We urge the American Protectve Tariff League to investigate the charge made by one of the Seripps League workingman that in visiting the “Ashbury” car shops near Birmingham, re found th t establishment engaged in tilling a contract for 8,000 journal boxes for the Pennsylvania K lilroad Is the great Pennsylvania ra ’road buying things abroad that it could get for twice as much money in its own State?

“The iffiprepsiop has grottet’ out,” said Judge Taylor, “tli a J decided recently that the act concerning liens of mechanics, i laborers and materialmen, ap proved March 6, 1889 (Acts j 1889," p. 257), is unconstitutional and void. That is a mistake. I made no such decision. My ■ decision was that said acts of 1889 did not repeal section 5 of the said act of l w ß3 (Acts, 1883, p. 140), and, consequently, that j the sth section of said act of iBB3, is still in full force. My reason for so deciding is this: The title of the act of 1889 among other recit jls has this: ‘Repealing section 5 of said act.” (act of 1883), and the body of the act, section 5, provides that section 4of the said act of 1883 ‘be and the same is hereby repealed.’ Now, sec - tion 5 being mentioned in the title to the act, and section 4 in its body, makes the attempt* l ed repeal inoperative both as to section 5 and section 4 of the said act of 1883, and leaves both of those sections in force unoer section 115, article 4, of our State c onstitution.”

BROUGHT HIM IN DEFT.

The following queer story of a transaction beet ween a farmer and a butcher in one of the counties bordering on SanFrancisco Bay is told by the Butcher’s and Live Stock Gazette; Mr. Jones sold a bullock to Mr. Lazarus for sl6, to be taken and paid for when fat. When Mr. Lazarus came for the animal Jones said he would like to have a fore-quar-ter for his own use. Mr. Lazaus willingly accepted the order, and after the bullock was slaughtered, delivered the meat. A few days later Jones went to town, called on Lazaus, and a pieliminary to a settlement, asked forliis bill. “Dot’s all right, Mr. Jones; I has the oil! already made out. Here you are.” Mr. Jones read: Mr. Jones, Dr. to Jacob LazarUo — To one-quarter of beef, 185 pounds, at 10c SIS 50 By credit, one bullock 1G 00 Balance due 8 2 50 “Good heavens, Lazarus, you get three quarters of the beef, the hide, tallow and offal, and bring ire debt $2.50! How’s that, old man?” “Ah, Mr. Jones, that beef was s; i eap at 10c a pound.” “But, Lazarus, you only gave me sl6 for the whole bullock.” “Ah, but Jones, dot’s pizness, pizness, do you see?” ‘‘Weil, Lazarus, next time I have a fat builock I’ll kill it myself, use one quarter and throw away the rest, and then I will save $2.50. You see?” “Ah! ah! but dot’s not piz ness; farmers should not be butchers—dot’s bad.” One man can build an eight wheel passenger locomotive for a standard gauge railioad in 1,500 days; it will require 1,650 days’ work for him to build a consolidated ten wheel locomotive for a standard gauge. The average cost of the required labor would be $4,635, and the cost of the necessary metal is usually estimated at about $2,000- The profit may be put down at another $2,000, which would include the expenses of sale and delivery. 1 bis wou 1 d make ar engine, wl u absolutely ready for service and complete in every way, worth about 5 8.635. —E Y Com.

Brignoli's Explanation.

Big. Brignoli tells that once while he was. singing in concert for a charitable object, the prima donna was suddenly attacked with singer’s sore throat, ana it became necessary that some one •honld apologize to the audience. The manager declared he was wofic-ing from nervousness and could not do it, and he begged Brignoli to make the explanation. The tenor, going forward, said: “Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to say zat Mme. N eez a leetle horse dis evening.” Teals of laughter greeted this announcement, and the tenor looked puzzled, thinking the audience misundei* stood him He advanced once more, and with thundering emphasis roared out: “I zay zat Mme. X eez a leetle horse dis evening.” Another roar of laughter, amid which a voice in the gallery cried out: “Then, iishe is a horse, why not trot her out?” Then the mistake was plain to him, and Brignoli laughed as neartily as any one.— Boston Herald.
