CLEVELAND will probably have killed more ducks and disgusted more Democrats during one term of office than any man who ever occupied the President's char.

CLEVELAND is after ducks in the Carolina marshes but he is the duck that several million voters would like a chance at with their ballots about now. He would be a dead duck in the political puddle.

THE Supreme Court, in a decision writteu by Judge Hackney Thursday held that an agent has a right to deliver personally auy goods sold in auy manner, regardless of local itiws. A man wss arrested in Huntington for delivering books that had been previously sold by another agent and was acquitted by the local courts. The opiuion sustains the lower court.

JUDGE ELLISON,at Audersouhas decided in a case aganst H. G. Bonner charged with violating the 11 o'clock closing feature* of the Nicholson law that the defendant did not subject himself to a fine as he did not violate any ot'ier feature of the law. He holds hat under the reading of the liw a m-in dot's not subject him elf to a tine by violating one of the sections of the law but must iol-ite every one before he can be fined. We do not believe that decision has much common sense in if. It may technically be correct but if it is light the law is a farce.

JAMES WILSON, editor of the Indianapolis People, was on Thursday, sentenced to two years in the penitentiary and fined $250 by Judge Baker for sending obscene matter through the mails. After summing up the matter Judge Baker, iii pronouncing sentence, said: "You have received a fair trial and have been ably defended, but the jury has found you guilty, and with that verdict I am iuclined to agree. In my opinion this offense of which you have been found guilty is much more aggravated than that of a mau who steals a horse, or who filches a pocket book, or even burns down a house at midnight over its sleeping inmates. The government of the United States did not establish its mails for the evil purpose to which you have put them. They were estiblished for business convenience and to carry messages of love and affection between relatives and friends. "The man who deliberately scatters abroad publications that are calculated to lead the young, the rising generation, astray, it seems to me, does a thing that is almost unpardonable. The thought of destroying a human life by means of this ©bscenity is a fearful thing. I would rather a thousaud times that the midnight marauder should break into my house and rob me of everything I have in the world than that the disseminator of this kind of literature should gain an audience among my children. "A poor mau who steals a cow must perforce go to the penitentiary for two years, maybe fourteen that the use of the mails for such a purpose is a less grievous offense than that of stealing a c:w I am unable to see I am not disposed to be severe, nor can I be so weak, or so regardless of the duty of the court as to refuse to guard the mails so that hey shall not be used as the disseminator of obscene literature to be used for the corruption and demoralization of the youth of the State."

The majority of people will hold that Wilson got just about what he deserved for he has certainly been running a disreputable sheet. Again there are other people who hold that a paper run on the plan of the People is viz to expose and show up to their fellow citizens all the the mean and unlawful acts of people more especially the improper conduct between the sexes is a good thing to do. They claim it has a tendency to keep them in the straight and narrow paths of right coi.duct for, however much, people enjoy guilty conduct very few care to face exposure. Wilson, however, did not run th« People for the purpose of doing good but for lucre. It was and is an obscene sheet that panders to the lower tasues of some people who like buzzards enjoy something rotten.

Clergy Rate Will Remain ^tlie Same. The question of a change in railroad fare charged clergymen has been settled by the managing officers of railways in territory covered by the Central Traffic Association agreeing to continue to allow a rate of one and one-half cents per mile. For the coming year regularly accredited clergymen, who may be entitled to the same under the rules, can therefore procure reduced rate tickets over the Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburgh, same as during 1895. 50t2d&w.

liravard Fails to Get License at Morristown The County Comtnisioners at Shelbyville heeded the remonstrances of the good people around Morristown and refused to grant Wm. Bravard license to sell intoxicating liquors. This will have a tendency to make Blue RiAer Park a more respectable place.

Hie liuzzsaw Not In It With The Corn Husker. The new patent corn husker and shredder surpasses the festive buzzsaw in tearing men up. In Randolph county three men within as many week have each had an arm torn off. In Clinton county five men since the first of November, have contributed a havd and pieces of arms. While the machine was only patented to shuck corn it. shucks hands as well.

Christian Church Nearing Completion. The new Christian church is ne'tring completion and is indeed a magnificent structure. The windows are expected here from Chicago this month. The contract for frescoing the church has been let to the New York stoie, at Indianapolis. They h-ive fine artists in that lire. Tha cost is $i50 which is thought to be quite low. Thursday night after viewing tae samples of a number of carpet firms the committee selected a handsome pattern shown by Albert Gall, of Indianapolis. It will take several hundred yards of carpert for the auditorium and Sunday school room. The cost of the carpet, piper, making, laying, etc., is §296. The ses'.ts for the church are about completed and it is expected that it will be ready for occnpauy about the 1st of Frebruary.

A High Degree Mason.

Wm. Geake of the firm of Geake, Henry & Co of Ft. Wayne, contractors for the new school house is one of the brightest Masons in the State. He is a 83rd degree man. He is now Eminent Commander of Ft. Wayne Commandery Knight Templars and Thrice Potent Grand Master of the Lodge of Perfection of Scottish Rite Masons at Ft. Wayne. At another time he occupied the above exalted positions was Master of the Blue Lodge and High Priest of the Chapter. Yet he is a modest unassuming gentleman who needs to be well known to be appreciated. His own brothers at Ft. Wayne appreciate him as is shown by the large number of elegant aud costly Masonic emblems they have pfesented him. Mr. Henry of the same firm is a genial gentleman and a high Mason, as he is a Templar, Scottish Rite Mason aud a Shriner.

In Memoriam of Bessie Carr. On November 24tli, 1895. death entered the home of O. L. Carr, and claimed a Leloved daughter and oar sister. Bessie was a member of the C. W. B. M. and at the time of her death was vice president of auxiliary. A familiar voice has been hushed in the silent sleep of death, and from us has gone one whose beautiful life has reared an everlasting monument. And through the years will be a precious memory to those who knew and loved her. Sunday evening as the shades of night began to gather from the home where she was loved and prized, the pure gentle spirit of Bessie Carr winged its flight to the summer land of joy and peace. Her lov^ for her own and for her Savior was beautiful, so quiet and modest did she do her master's bidding. But alas, frost follows flowers, night comes after day, death goes hand in hand with time she has only gone before and waiting to greet other toilers when their work is well finished.

"SIT DOWN."

That is What Slieruian Walker Said to a

Shouting Woman in the Polywock Church. Anderson Bulletin "Sit down and give a fellow a chance to see the preacher

That is what Sherman Walker said to a woman who was up on a bench shouting, clapping her hauds and yelling ''I'm glad I'm going to esus," at a recent revival at the Polywock church, just over in Hancock county, next to Adams township.

Wah-waah—ha! ha! ha!" roared Lige Polk, who sat next to Walker. Later the Hancock grand jury indicted the two men for disturbing a religious meeting. They live in Madison county. Learning of the indictments Walker came to Anderson, surrendered himself to Sheriff Starr and was takes to Greenfield today, where he gave bond. Polk, in order to save time, cut across farms to the county seat of Hancock and fixed things himself.

That Poly week church is a lively place. It was there that Farmer Kennedy was almost killed while attending divine services one night about a year ago and a half dozen fellows by the name of Railsback had to hide out on account of the trouble.

statement reflecting

011 her character to pass unnoticed." Tlie difficulty began this fall in the United States circuit court here, when Mrs. Livermore was a witness against Congressman Elijah Morse by Mrs. Gougar. Mrs. Livermore testified that she knew Mrs. Gougar well and that she occasionally used "harsh and abusive language." Mrs. Livermore also said she1 had never been a member of the Prohibition party of this state.

A letter appeared in the last issue of tlie New York Voice, signed by Mrs. Gougar, in which she sharply took Mrs. Livermore to task and sought to show that she did not speak the truth at the trial.

Mr. Gougar alleges that Mrs. Livermore supported the Prohibition nominees and quoted from Hon. John P. St. John for the purpose of showing that she left the Republican party and joined the Prohibitionists. Mrs. Gougar also denied other statements which Mrs. Livermore made at the trial.
