Orn esteemed contemporary, the Democrat, is mistaken in saying we make merry <>v. r the county commissioners’ blunder. We hate to see them make such bad breaks as they do, but believe always in showing them up in their true light. The truth of the matter is those three commissioners should never have been elected.

Notwithstanding the county commissioners made a blunder last week that cost the county six hundred dollars neither of the democratic papers had enterprise enough to acquaint its readers of the fact. Give the news gentlemen. Tut: legislature is in its third week, and Vermillion, of Putnam, has so far not made sutHcient stir in Indianapolis to cause the death of shade trees or jar the equipose of the soldiers’ monument.

The commissioners of Putnam slipped in the city a year or so ago and bought a seven hundred dollar stone crusher; they next slipped in and ordered a six hundred dollar election contrary to law. One bobble was just about as advantageous to tlie public good as the other. Ky the way, what is the official record of that crusher, anyhow. Ir the commissioners have made any mistake it is in not having always at hand a competent attorney to scrutinize and advise as to every detail in proceedings of i his character.— Democrat. Now the (iticstinn mituriillv follows why isn’t the county attorney always at hand, lie is paid i salaray for being there and should attend to business. It is barely possible that lie has one office too many just now. The maimer in whieh the electora! vote was split up in several states is quite interesting to note. In four states the vote was divided. In California Cleveland receive ! 8 votes, Harrison 1; in Ohio Harrison got 22, and Cleveland 1; iu Michigan, where the vote was by districts, Cleveland has 5, and Harrison !•. The most interesting case, however, is that of North Dakota, where Cleveland, Harrison and Weaver each receive one electoral vote.

The gambling raid of Saturday night was a suceess and tlie hope is expressed that this curse shall lie eliminated from our city. A raid of that kind is a hard one to manage and the officers last Saturday did nobly in getting as much evitic.n c «.-> tile} did.
The slierills of the state are backing Robert Emmett, sheriff of Marion county, who has brought suit to test the fee and salary law passed by the Iasi legislature. I'nfler tho old law tlie sheriff was allowed mileage for taking prisoners to the penitentiary, but now the law allows him but his actual expense-, and this cuts oil’ a large amount of revenue. His claim is that the new law does not repeal certain parts of the old. It will soon he a hard matter to gel a good man to accept tlie office of county sheriff, and many are thinking
of resigning.
Tims is the coldest winter in many parts of the country known since 18.V). Iu some places tlie mercury lias been lower than ever known, in Kentucky reaching twenty-three degrees below zero. At points in Wisconsin the thermometers were frozen solid. Great suffering has been caused, and many acts of charity are reported from wealthy men over the country. In home affairs every one should he a committee to see that his or her neighbor line- uni, -mi>T Iik> poor family be without fuel and the necessities of life. Charity is one of tlie best forms of religion, and as revivals are at hand, this important feature should receive great
and leading attention.
The Democrat came courageously to the assistance of the county auditor hist week in the gravel road bobble, and defends him above all-others. There was not much wrong with the officer, just a slight mistake in his record, but
renihly saw that it would be to their advantage to put up a few poles and get the extra boxes free. Thk was a practical saving of $250. Or course Hie democratic papers did not want to say anytliing about this item. The Gamewell system is one that is universally used and is tbe pioneer in the business. Tlie fact that Greencastle got such a splendid bargain in her system should be a matter of congratulation to all citizens. Mn. J. F. O’Bmien, official surveyor and occasional road viewer of I’utnnm county, cards this paper at length this week in a defence of ids share of tlie bungling in tbe east and west gravel road ease mentioned by the Banner Times exclusively last w.ck. Mi. O’Brien has evidently not caucused at headquarters as lie gives a Mat contradiction to many statements, and much evidence suhniitt d in the remonstrance trial, as set out by other democratic ofticials implicated, and couches his article in such nonsensical language that it could not well he given space iu any influential journal. We must respectfully decline to fight both sides of this miserabl • piece of miscarried road legislation, but rather take the side of justice and right and show tlie people of Putnam county that the commissioners, tue county auditor, the^eounty attorney, and last hut not least the county surveyor, were at fault and had no regard for the statutes in foisting a six hundred dollar election failure upon an unsuspecting public. In conclusion we would say to Mr. O'Brien. O. S. & O. K. V. of P. that there are two democratic newspapers, one of them very good, in Putnam county and that if he wants a defense of Ids $3.50 per day road viewing acts lie might be accommodated there. It takes all our spare space in showing the fool mismanagement of Putnam’s allairs. It is the duty of the democratic papers, if their consciences are not too unyielding. to cover up and defend tide crowd of himelers, and Mr. O’Brien, who hasn’t yet been answered for, should form the acquaintance of one of them. He seems to have been forgotten or lost in the general foot-race to get out of a bad piece of legislation. Or better still, lie might, as that is popular just now with other county officials, blame Ader a while.

Chicago, ill., .fan. 18.
At the inception of the Columbus fair, Chicago provided a fund of ten million dollars, of whieh one*half was iu the form of subscriptions to the capital stock, and tiie remaining part resulted from tiie bonding of the municipality. Since that time the general government lias made its miiniticent gift, and the people have undertaken to double the sum by purchasing the souvenir coins at oin dollar for each
fifty cents of value.
Since the enterprise was fully inaugurated so great has the application for space by the private and governmental exhibitors, that it has been found necessary to materially enlaige the plana for the exposition. Changes are constantly hr-big made which will greatly increase the expense as well a> the interest of the exposition, and < 'hicagoans

The coldest winter and longest snow known to the writer in that many years’ residence in this state. For two weeks things generally have been at a standstill with the notable exceptions that the coal and wood pile have been going Down to keep company with the Thermometer, which, in its mad downward career, wise people have been compelled to check by taking it into the house. We have done some business although not up to our expectations. People have been well satisfied with prices, we have been making them in all lines of stuff, no exceptions are being made but reduced prices go with us all over our store. We have learned that it is necessary to keep stocks well assorted and be ready to supply all 'wants as they come to us. If, therefore, you are compelled to venture away from your fire in quest of Dry Goods, Carpets or Cloaks, we can assure you of prompt and careful attention and prices so low that you will readily agree thar our Mid-Season Closing Sale prices mean something.
