“A TOM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

The populists of Nebrajka ~ave the 1 emocrats and Silver Leans each one candidate on tiin the state tick ;t—all they deserved. Dewey and Schley are near the popular heart as naval heroes... Each have displayed the greatest skill apd courage in' the destruc** tion oHSpanish fleets, the former at Manila aud (he latter at Snr tiago. Schley has been strategic n his movements. By a strategic move ha lured Cervera into Santiago harbor, then appl ed the cork to the bottle and remaked that that fleet would never 6ee Spain again. He displayed another piece of sue* f essful strategy when hp uDCoikrd the bottle to an extent whichl led Oervera to attempt to ejeape aud" resulted in the destruction of his fleet: Sampson has not pioveduear so “Schley.”

Two years ago the Demociats o J asper county ca3t for Mr. Bryan 1391 votes; the pops gave hm 217 votes, it is thus seen that tb 0 democratic vote was six time greater than that of the populists Notwithstanding this great dispars ity in strength the populists de manded and were given lour if not five of the places onthedemoe ntic county ticket. Trey werv ''n hand to demand the corgrep?i<>r:al candidate, but the demoo. atic r n timent and integrity of the <iistrict & uld not be tampered n tb. The demand fov the < Dly pa l ase in the hands of a couple of trustees, tor the support and en couragement of a pa: er uotten up in vhe intei ests of populism and to advocate political mongrelis: ard detrimental to the principles and gro vth of the democratic party in Jasper county has been complied with.

Administration papers have been doing considerable slobbering over' the rich you: g men who volun* teered to fight against Spain. One administration organ in Chicago has gone so far as|to say: “It was not the toil-hardened but the soft skinned whoai swered the president’s call.” These statements are unjust and untrue, and are made by papers printed in the interests o p pluto crats.

The rank and file of the volun** te rs is made up of workingmen.. artisans, farmer lads, soldiers of the war between the states, clerk? an'' cowboys, who are after all the real fighters. On the other hand t a “sottekinned” sous i f plutocrat - fill of* fi ial positions by appointment of the president. They figure in the paymasters and commissary departments, and in most cases display magnificent iucomprtency.

Pateiotism, liepnblican editors NOT and orato s; avenot Politics. hesitated to slaudei the democratic party by saying that it is unpatriotic, Of course, this coursp is taken for the purpose of making politic cal oap’tal out of the war, and equally of course the assertions are basely malicious and false As proof of the mendacity of tht accusations against democracy the following resolution taken from the state democratic platform adopted at Springfield is adduced: “That we rejoice in the glorious deeds of valor of cur oldiers and sailors, and greatly deplore the fatalities and injuries that have so resulted, and we favor the adoption of the most liberal policy toward the sick and wounded and the families of the elam.” It would be i work of supererogation to refer to;this matter at all were it not for the utterances of such men as Grosvenor, echoed by th venal administration press. As a matter of fact the crats forced the administration into the war with Spam. Mark Hanna, Steve Elkins and the bondholders interested in Spanish securities moveil heaven and earth to prevent the war. But democratic patriots, moved by the destruction of the Maine, the murder of 266 American sailors and the cruelties practiced on the Cubans by Spain, demanded war. □Since the confliotgbegau democrats have done all in their power to aid the government, and have spared no word of encouragement and no deed of daring to bring about American victory., t Chicago Li-patch. Bob Evans’ Some very good Pbayebs people have taken it upon themselves to criticise Bob E ana because 1 e did not follow Oapt. Philip’s ex*» ample and return thanks to God for the victory at Santiago. Indeed, an editorial drawing a contrast between Evans and Phil* ip, lauding the latter and condemn-

ing the former, appeared L an e istern paper and was shown t - Gaptain Evans. “Fighting Bob” has taken the pains to explain his position, qu te unnecessarily so far as the people are concerned, for the batfleship lowa and her gallant captain gave too goou an account of themselves at Santiago to need any explanations. Gaptain Evans states that just as the chaplain was going to offer thanks a Spanish battleship came in range and created a diversion. G apt.'ll vans continues “M- first duty to God and my country was to sink this Spanish batth ship, and l immediately mac® my preparations to dc so \\ heu it was discovered that this ship was an Austrian I found my ship sur rounded by boats carryiug dying and wounded prisoners and others of the crew of the Viscava to the number.of 250. To leave these men to .uffe/ for want of food aud clotting while 1 ca led my men aft to offer gravers was not my idea of either Ghristiauitv or religion. I preferred to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and and succor the sick aud i am strongly of the opinion that Almighty God has not put a black mark agaim-t me on account of it. “1 do not know wh°ther I shall stand with Gaptain Philip among the first chosen in the hereafter, bu I have this to say i conclusion: That every diop of b ood in my body on the astern ou of the 3d of July was binging thanks and praise to Almighty God for the victory we had won.” Under the circumstances it lo ks as though “Fighting Hob” has whipped his critics quite as com bletely as he whip ed the Spaniards.

Trusts When an independent AND Corporation begins to Labor fight a trust the eonsum> er has occasion for con gratu'atioD, and the workingman finds himself in worse straits than before. It is reported from Pittsburg that the Oliver Wire Company,OLe of the biggest independent corporations o f its kind in the cct ntry, has rolled up its sleeves to take a fall out of the trust which does business under tie ame of the American Steel and Wire Company. As a preliminary the Oliver company has made a cut of 10 cts per keg on wire nai 8. For the man whojtmjs wire nails this is doubtless ’cheering news, but there is nothing encourag ng in it for the man who is hired to make the nails. How ia it that the Oliver compan ny has prepared itself for mak ng this reduction in price? The dispatch from Pittsburg explains it m a few words. It says: “The Oliver comp ny bas been reparirg for this fight for months. Ever since the tnist w a s formed the fi in as been putting in the most ©ode’n machinery, with the intenlion l of enhancing production aud at the ! same time i educing the labor cod.’ j H-re is the secret m a nutshell. ! it lies in the three words, “redan j ing the cost.” This cost is reduced in two wayr: First, by introducing labo -saving machineiy. and, second, by cutting the wages of laborers. Both methods form a double edged sword withTtwhichj to strike down the workers.

There is no chance for the workingman—there can be no chance f r him —so long as competition is confined lo occasional contents be tween trusts. Wages ire simply reduced to the lowest terms, the Statural course of competition is turned awry a-d the laborer is made to pay the expenses of a battle between the trusts.

The Journal professes indigoa* tioD th t the Hon Samuel Kalsston should should say that ral Dewey is -a demociat. hate not seen any very satisfactory evidence that he is not a democrat. It was publicly announced that he was a democrat, and he has shown all the cnara teristics of a demo* ci at. He was evidently anxious to “remember the Maine” long before the administration got leady to do go, and was off at the word. He displayed a marked caution of Wa&hington influence by cutting the cable, which, by the way, the Journal oommenued at the time. He has not given the slignteot in*» dication of being under the con trol of ahy corporation, syndicate or trust. He has not recommend ed the gold standard, or the pro tective tariff system for the Philip pinesa He Las not appointed any relatives to office. He ha • not gone into any schemes for making mon eyoutof the Philippines. It is the most natural thing in the world that he should be taken for a.Dem ocrat. Even if h Is not ore, he acts! just like on A [ln Jianapoiis Sentinel An exchange ream ks: “It must be understood at the outset that President McKinley can’t be iiur*« ried into peace.” Why not? He was hurried into war.

ROMANCE Qf A DIAMOND.

A Bnattis Crown J®wel*e Htatory ci Murder wed Robbery. There is a famous diamond now la the crown regalia of Russia wbich has a moot extraordinary history of murder and blood. How many murders were done for Its sake before It came Into Hie possession of the groat Nadir, Shah of Persia, will never be knows, but from that time until it was purchased for the Russian Empress, Catharine the Great, its story was one of. crime. Nadir Shah was - assassinated in 1747 by four of his officers whom he Intended to pat to death, and after 1 they had- done their work they hastily, appropriated such of his jewels as they j could easily conceal and decamp. Qne! of the stolen gems was the Shah, which Nadir wore in his turban. The uoblei man to whose portion fell the Shah fled into Afghanistan and was never heard of again. Four or five years later a jeweler in B&ssora was visited by an Afghan, who offered the Shah, together with an emerald, a ruby and & sapphire, all of great size, for sale at a very modest figure. The jeweler did not bare the money at the moment, and made an appointment to meet the Afghan the next day, but the latter did Dot return. Four years later the Jew- j •lev, an Armenian, was in Bagdad, j where he again met the Afghan, pnd j learned from Mm that the gems h®d been sold to a Jewish merchant fer 05,000 francs. Shafrns, the Armenian, enlisted the services of hi? two brothers, the three murdered tbs Afghan and the Jew, threw their bodies lute the river, took the gems and made off. Somej where In the desert between the En- | phrates and Armenia, the oldest of the Brothers murdered the other twe, possessed himself of all the gems and went an to Constantinople. Fearful of attempting to sell the jewels there, he went by sea to France, and, falling to find a buyer, visited most of the capitals of Europe, finally offering the diamond to Catherine the Great She refused to buy at the figure he demanded, and he at once disappeared, being heard from ten years later In Astrakhan, where he was seen by some of the Russian courtiers. He refused to negotiate save alt Smyrna, and started thither, but was murdered on the way by the Russians, the gem secured and sold to ffittherino for $650,000.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Double flowers are unnataral. Petals are sometimes added at the expense of stamens. Completely doubled flowers become sterile and unable to perpetuate their kind. At a depth of (more than one hundred fathoms the Black Sea, It is said, contains so much sulphuretted hydrogen as to be unfit for the support of fishes, and the noxious gas has been traced by ae*recent observer to a microbe. It is said tube able to decompose mineral sulphates. The movements of air commonly called winds are due to the heat of the sun. The warm air, being lighter, rises, and the colder air flows in to take its place. This principle is beautifully illustrated St the seashore in summer, where the daily sea breezes are due to the air over the heated land being displaced by a current of cooler air from/ the sea.

The floors of the hospital wards ln Lyons, France, are covered with a solution of paraffine ln petroleum, which makes them impervious to everything, and gives them a brown tint A single application lasts two years, Thus prepared, the floors can be wiped up daily with a damp clotty moistened with some antiseptic solution. The floors in private houses, when uneftrpeted, can be treated ln the same manner, as well as those of scbool-rooms, barracks, etc, From military and other records a French Inquirer has learned that In 1610 the average height of the European was 5 feet 9 Inches, ln 1820 It was 5 feet 5 Inches and a fraction, and at present it Is 5 feet 8% inches. This suggests that a regular (and gradual decline Is taking place. Calculation from these figures shows that at this rate the average man will have become a dwarf of 15 Inches ln height by the year 400®,

“It looks as if the Demccra s of Jsspe county were going to desert Uncle Mac, of the Sentinel, in lavor of ttoe new dena ocraiie paper,etc.’’ —Rensselaer Journal. Not b word of truth in the abov*. We suppose th '* eouclusioua of the Journal are inspired by It be action of A. J. Preeland, trustee of N jwton township, and John <3. Koup* kee, trustee of Kankakee town, ship, in permitting t emselves to e overpersuaded into givirg their annual re orts to the Jasper County Demodrat? for publication... There is nothing in this a r ;t of these trustees to in licste that the “Democrats of Jasper county were going to desert Uncle Mac, of the Sentinel ” It was their individual get, prompted by a desire to affiliate with populism and a pop*, ulistic oigau- The Sentinel stands for every Democrat on the State districts and countv ticket?. What more can or should be asked of a Democrat. Ira W. Yeoman, Democratic candidate for prosecutor *of th : s judicial circuit, a number of years *go served very satisfactorily t > the people of Jasper county a term as Auditor. He has been for some time a resident of Remington, and the Pi ess says of him: “It is unnecessary for us lo say a word in commendation ot Mr. Yeoman, as there is scarcely a man in the three caunties that is not persona'ly acquainted with him. He is at present our efficient town clerk, and i. elected to the office of prosecutor, we have no doubt will administer the affaiis ot that office with strict justice to all.”

The Jasper County Democrat is the only straight democratic newspaper in the county.”—Democrat? My, oh my! How history does repeat itself. The Democrat’s predecessor, under the manage* ment of James & Sickels endeavored to impress the public with the same statement. It didn’t ims press worth a ‘pewterdam’—the democracy could not be buncoed bv any such claims. The paper took a vacation. James went to Hammond and became a w rker in the republican ranks; Sick .Is returned to Chicago, and as er swearing that he was only tempo rarily a resident of cast his vots for B. Harrison. The Remington Pressmnder the management of the Dresent editor of the Democrat? out ied the late “People’s Pilot” in its adyocacy of Populism. . „ “Straight Democrats” are constructed of better timber. Politi* cally, they are ‘straight’ in all that the worcLimplies, and have no use for po itical ‘utility men ’ Walter A , sod of J . P.
