TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The pre-eminent topi-j of the day at this season of the year is Christmas; Christmas festivities, Chr stmas legends, customs, and symbols. The leading article of the December number of “Demorest’s” tells the story of “Christmas Chimes all over the world.” The story is told from the standpoint of human interest, and is illustra ted with eidven fine pictures of the homes of the most famous bells. The opinio a of five well-known New York clergymen on the auth enticity and value of the “Newly DLcoveied Sayings of Jeeus,” form a symposium of far-reaching interest to the Christian world.— Photographs of th se clergymen are also given in November Dem orest’s. Besides the serial, “Bob*. bie cDuff,” by Clinton Boss, there are in this namber two de. lightful Christmas stories redolent of the spirit ot the season. The t atenal of the body of the magazine is of v\ ried and widespread interest Artists will be charmed with the beautifully illustrated account of Millet’s “Bars bizon”; admirers of dramatic ar ill read with interest a history of the success of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Sother ; the home-makei will find « field foi profitable study in article giving reliable information on the making of “Oriental Cozy Corn rs,” illustrated in a most picturesque fashion, the enthusiastic wheelwoman will do well to store her mind with the practical information given in Our Girl’s Department on ‘Bicycle Etiquette,’ “Car o of the Wheel,” etc.; while the student and book-lover will find interesting brief reviews of the newest books m “Letters and Art.” The Fashion Department in the December Demorest’s is tbe most complete published in any family magazine. Foity two patterns are given of the latest winder styles.

The next annual oounty farmers' institute will be held in this city January 14th and 15th. Good warm lunch at Kennel Bro’s restaurant and bakery, for 15 cents. A fine Scotch granite monument wdl soon be placed on the Lough ridge lot in Weston cemetery, by Mackey & Barcus. Judge Healy’s is the plact for shoes —Genes', Ladies’ and Child# ren’s. Don’t forget it. Quarterly mesti g at Roce Bud church 25th and 26th of thegpres ent mohth. Conference on the 25th at 2:30 p. m. Commurion o . Sabbath. 26th. Try Kennel Brothers’ Vienna Bread.

The Indianapolis Weekly Ssntinel and Democratic Sentinel, one year for $1.50. Geo. H. Brown has at last teen heard from, but his whereobouts is not giyen out. “Forty Years of Oratory”, in two volumes, containing tbe speeches ot|Senator Yoorbees in tbe House and Senate, bis arguments in courts, and also bis’Publio Lectures, is now on the ma ket, and Is receiving very favorable notioe. The new apparatus for the fire company have arrived, and if sat isfactory will be accepted. “Its tbe Jidge ye mane,” who is th? exclusive shoe dealer in Rensselaer. A practical workman of many ysars experience; a good “jidge” of stock style and finish, its always “the Jidge ye mane” who keeps the largest and best stock of boots and shoes, at the most reasonable prices, in the city.

Danger in the Kerosene Lamp.

Who would suppose that a turnedflown kerosene lamp would breed diphtheria? We are all accustomed to the disagreeable fumes arising from this cause; and when New York was suffering from an epidemic of diphtheria, the Board of Health decided that its presence was to be attributed to the fume# of a kerosene lamp turned down low more than to any other single cause. Whether or not this be so. It certainly is a mistaken kindness on the part of an Indulgent mother to allow a lamp to remain in a child’s bedroom with the flame turned down. A turned-down kerosene lamp is a magazine of deadly gas, to which the strongest lungs cannot safely be exposed.

“A FIRM ACHERBNI'K TO OORRBCT PRTVOTPT.ua ■»

A DDRESS TO DEMOCRATS.

Concluded frou Fourth Page. uation as would sweep the republican organization out of existence. The second policy to which the demociatic paity stands pledged, and which presents the only practical solition of the currency question, w.ll not, of course, be considered by the party in pow.. er. The only alterna ive, therefore, to the adoption of ttie administration program is the donothing po icy, vhich would involve a confession of utter impotence on the part of the republican party and would render its overthrow at the nex* gentral election as certain, i<* notas complete, as if tbe policy just proclaimed by President McKiriey wer. »to be Carried out. Full of Inspiration. The political situation is full of inspirat on and encouragement to democrats everywhere and at the same time it suggests w> them unceasing vigilaice. The republican paity has not only failed to solve the currency question; it has not only i ailed to resto e p osperity to the people: it has not only failed to negotiate an agreement for international bimetallism, but it has in other ways violated its pledges to the country. Its attitude with relation to Cuba is contrary to the explicit promise of the St. Louis platform and is in the last degree undemocratic, unrepublican, unpatriotic andunAiuerican. The voioe of humanity, the natuial sympathy which every true American feels for a neighboring people struggling to throw the yoke of savage despotism, and every c Dsideration of enlightened self-interest demand the recognition of Cuban independence, a ste? which the ad ministration, for some mysterious reason refuses to take. The utter bad faith which the administration has shown as to the enforcement of the civil service law, a measure placed upon the statute t'ooks by tbe republican party, invites and will receive the reprobation of the country. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to this law. all good citizens will agree that so long as it is a law it finould be faithfully and impartially enfo ced. Its perversion by the appointees of President McKinley to the soivioe of partisan greed is a distinct violation not only of the pledgesof h's party, but also of his persotal pledges to the c uutry. Ai pres ent the lawisenf reed only vhea a democrat can thereby be deprived of official prefei ment, and it is evaded or violated asoften-as a repul iican can be thereby retain’d in or provided with a public position. A party which deliherntel vio. lates every day a law of the United States is dangerous to our peace and safety and approaches very nearly to the state of lawlessness and anarchy which it has sometimes charged upon its opponent'. A Bankruptcy Law.

The only measure o* general importance which the republican leaders now promise the couutiy is the enactment of a bankruptcy law —a law presumably which will enable creditors to enforce into bankruptcy debtors whose inability to pay is due to republican tariff and currency systems—a fitting sequel to the protective law enrcted last summer. The issues to be passed upon by the couDtrv at the congressi.nal elections of 1898 nre the same which were presented in 1896, f.cc ntuated nd emphacioed Dy the record of the republican Dirty s ; nce its return to power.— Let the democracy of Indiana ra - )y their forces, close np their ranks and march shoulder toshou der in the co test for the urincip es of Jefferson and Jackson and Bryan. Men who formerly acted with the democratic party, but who in 1896 wi hhe d their support, a e,in eves ry voMng precinct in the state, back in the ranks. They are dis gusted with the record and policies ot the republican admi istration and are ready and anxious to follow once more the good old flag of democracy. We welcome them back. W ith united and determ ined efforts the stale can be ha d somelv redeemed next year, the election of a democratic United States senator assurea and a large ly increased democratic representation in the popular branch of congress retu ned. The deinocr tic state committee a peals to and invites every citizen of Indiana, whatever his last political affiliations, who bslieves in these pries ciples to co-operate earnestly from this time until the polls close next November in the endiavor to secure their trium h. The district conventions for the selection of m mbers of the state central committee will be held in the various congressional districts on Tuesday, January 11, 189 c.— The members of the new eommit-

tee then chosen will meet at Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jan. 18, for organization. BARKS M MARTIN, Chairman Dem. State Com. S. L. Wallace, Seo’v. Fully t'ao hundred prominent democrats from all parts of the state attended the conference at the Grand hotel,lndianapolis, held in connection with tt»B meeting ot the state committee, recently. It is report ed one of the most in foresting as well as enthusiastic meetings ever held by tue party leaders in the state, and to give additional pleasure and giatification to those present there was ab salute unanimity as to platform, policy and national candidate in the next national contest. Governor Matthews and others addressed the meeting. *, eferring to bolters he said: “Those who tnrough selfish mo tives and insincerity left for the sole purpose of electing a repnbli can party, vhv the party is better and stronger today for their going. They belong felsswbere; let them remain.” Judge D. D„ Dykeman. of Cass county, said: “in receiving bolters back into he party the greatest oars und the utmost precaution sho’d be shown. Treachery once makes treacLery easier again, and he thcught’the feeling in Cass couutv was strongly opposed to receiving the Logans port bolters back into tbe oarty at Judge Dykeman expressed him self as strongly opposed to fusion. TJe populists, he said, were dan gerous alTes and could not be de ppnded upon. The party must make it very clear to all voters that it is not in any way allied to the populistß. Wm. E. English said “Bo far as I am personally oon c rned 1 believe in the democratic pa ty, with democratic principles and with democratic candidates. 1 know no organization outside of the democratic party. lam a straDger to any other party. I feel that upon all questions treated in political platforms that 1 am enti tied to my individual viewp and am justified in doing my beßt to se cure the indorsement and adoption of those views by the party, but when the democratic convention has decided as ( o the questions concerning which I may have had and probably did have personal views,the decision of that convention settled the matter for me.— Whi e I would be perfectly justified in combating for my personal views a d p. eferences within the ranks of the party and in its councils, no man is justified in adhering to personal prejudices or preferences in defiance of the will of his party. * * “I want to emphatwallv state that never again do 1 want to see five names placed on the democrat ie ticket that stand for members of any ther party, nor do 1 want to see the names of five democrats democrats taken from a democratic ticket and enemies of the party pat in their places. * * Judge McCabe said: * * There were th ise who left us last fall Toward them lam in favor of showing the greatest moderation and i they choose to come back with ns 1 am in favor of reciving them gladly. But they must n t come back i to the democratic party to dictate its policy or .o command its forces. I believe in Receiving them into tho ranks and letii g then 3 express their regret for past m sconduct, though by misjudgment, by obediently following th* commanders the party selects. The remarks of Ju ge McCabe should apply more forcibly to Popu ists than to goldbugs. 3 udge Howard approved the sentiments expressed by Jucge McCabe.

E_-Att’y General Srn'th sad: I am one of those d mocrats who believe in the democratic r arty. Whatever my personal views have been upon any question L hav al- j ways been loyal and patriotic enough to subordinate|them to the , will of the party expressed in con* I vention, it those v t-ws have been opposed to what (he partv has de* cided for the best. lam one of! that kind of bard-shelled demo-! crate who stand ready to follow the j party dictates an I the party can- ! didate3 no matter what may | be. I want to record my opposie | tion to the idea of fusion. We' have had all we want of that and hereafter 1 am n favor of the democratic party outlining its own policy based upon the old-established principles and selecting i*s own candidates and own leaders and

conducting its own affairs irrespective o: any other so-oalled political organization. We have stood alone in the past since the formation of the government and we were never better able to stand alone than we are today. No dictation from these fellows. No “fatted calf” for them.

Bid. Sohanlanb, of the Morocco Courier, ohairniau of the Newton county Democratic oommittee, has a level head. No ‘hobo’ in his make up. Thauks. ———— - Bast fall tho Bamo fellows who now demand a paper to suit their views, demanded the retirement of Jud /. Hunt from tbe Democrat ic ticket. Failing in that, they knifed him at the polls. We raid to a Populißt the other uay that we diii not think we had a democratic county committee, we had nevor been ab e to learn who composed it. “Oh, yes,” he replied, “1 think you have, for I know Shields wanted me to serve for my township.”—a populist on a democratic, committee! What the democra ic party of Jasper county most needs is a thoroughly democratic chairman and commit* tee to look after its affairs. Lute Strong, a populist of many years standing, the other day exs tended his hand to a well known republican and remarked that he ought to “call o i Me. and give him a dollar, as republicans were keeping irn here.” On our list are a large number of gallant Democrats—true and tried—and we are pleased to a Id, a number of republicans and populists, but the nam sos Messrs. Washburn, Par; ker, Strong and Jessen are not of the number. Come to think of it, Jessen once as ired to the editorial management of the Pilot. i .A.., mm-.—* Our Populißt friend from whom we received the valuable information given to our readers last week concerning the status of the pros posed new paper and its projectors, seems to think we him away. We do not think so, we gave no name, and if he does not bis friends will be none the wiser. The information was important to us and to Democrats. It seems that the principal movers in tho matter have their duties allotted as follows: Solicitors —Bates, Shields and Jessen, who are to pose as democrats’ Custodians of funds procured, and who are io direct payments therefrom, Wm. Washburn, F. M. Parker and Lute Strong, leading populists and opponents of the democratic parly for many years. The make-up of these committees is, to say the least, not very da mocratic.
