THK extreme Silverites of the Unitsd States have raised the funds to publish a paper advocating the free coinage of silver.

GOVERNOR CHASE is gaining friends every day and will secure the Republican nomination for Governor at Ft. Wayne on the 28th.

DEMOCRATIC leaders promised a hundred million reduction by this Congress and now admit that it is spending at the rate of a billion and a quarter.

GP.OVER CLEVELAND now has the inside track for the Democratic nomination for President. It will be the candidates of 1888 again and Harrison will win by a greater majority than before.

THE Eiver and Harbor Bill of the present Democratic House appropriates $50,000 000, or twice as much as the alleged "bil-lion-dollar Congress." Striving to secure a record as a "five-cent" Congress the Democratic statesman at Washington take the cake for spending the most money for the least results.

HANCOCK COUNTY naturally has a fertile soil aud with the proper management can be made to bloom and blossom like the rose. With our splendid roads, with natural gas all over or rather under the County, fine water priviledges and many other advantages, farming and stock raising in this County can be made both profitable and pleasant.

THE outlook at this time is that President Harrison will be nominated at Minneapolis. but Bosses Quay, Piatt, Clark son, et al are making a strong fight against him. They talk for Blaine but he will hardly)accept. They simply want to beat Harrison, who is by faj the leading candidate with the masses and deserves the nomination on account of his great]md magnified administration.

PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON'S name appears affirmatively on the firs) tariff bill ever passed by an American Congress, and the generally accepted opinion in this country is that George was no slouch. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were also strong Protectionists, but the Democratic party of today has wandered far away from the old principles they talk so much about.

THERE are now about 2000 tramps around Centralia 111. They are called there by the strawberry season as 5000 extra hands are needed to gather the crop there, which is not only enormous but very profitable. It has made the community there quite wealthy. The farmers of Hancock Co. would find trnck and fruit farming very profitable. It enriches both soil and people.

COLONEL ROBERT G. INGERSOLL lectured at Englishes Opera House at Indianapolis last Sunday night to a crowded house. All however were not believers of Ingersollism, but bad come out of curiosity. Many were disapointed as Col Ingersoll did not assail the Christian religion with his old time vigor and audacity. The Ingersoll ideas are not at all new they were ancient when he began to discuss them, but many hearers did not know of them and they caught the fancy of many people. These people even now know the ideas are old and when they do not get something novel and sensational, do not like lngersollism as well as they did. The fact is, as the creeds and dogmas of churches are being modified and eliminated and true Christianity is being brought before the people, there is lew for the infidel orator to assail.

THE Democratic party scored great vie tories all over the land in 1892 with their wonderful promises of retrenchment and reform. Have they redeemed their pledges to the people? No, not one of them. With the biggest majority ever known in Congress their rules have been more arbitrary than Czar Reeds, they refused to pass the silver bill, they introduced no general tariff bill but tried to blind their partizans by a few snaps at the tariff but they availed nothing. This congress has largely surpassed the last in apropriations when they promised to reduce them $100, 000,000. The fact is the present Democratic congress has been making votes for the Republidan party right along. They have not yet decided where they stand upon the great issue of the day, viz, the currency, the tariff, civil service reform, economy of expenditure, honest elections etc. The Democratic party is not united on any great National question, so the members are casting about before deciding just where to jump and many of them are landing in the Republican party the party of Reciprocity, Protection, Progress and Prosperity.

In the case of Deacon, the American who was sentenced in France to prison for one year for killing Arbeille who invaded his home and ruined his wife, it is now announced that he will be pardoned by Carnot, President of France. While people do not believe in lawbreaking a husband who kills the seducer of his wife, receives the approbation of the public. Such things are not a matter of dollars and cents and cannot be estimated and the wronged husband is the only human being who can estimate the extent of the injury done him. Men who seek to invade the sanctily of men's home and place their wives or daughters in a compromising situation should be dealt with in a most summary manner. Let all women both married and single scorn to associate with men whom they know to even harbor thoughts of evil against their sex and society will be made purer and better. Do not condone the crimes of a man when the same guilt ostracises a woman from all her former associates.

OUR Republic is safe and can exist only so long as the citizens respect and obey their self imposed laws. There is now getting to be a spirit which ignores or openly violates the law. This is not ehecked by a proper enforcement of the law by those elected to enforce it. Officers of the law are entirely too lax in discipline. Some of them do not seem to wish too see the law obeyed. The penalties prescribed are too often placed at the lowest point. The enforcement of the law should be sure,certain and steady and it would then be more generally respected and obeyed. The public sentiment should be so strongly in tft^or of the law, that the officers who did

Ask a lawyer if he would like all those engaged in other occupations or professions to become lawyers and compete with him, and he will quickly answer no. Ask a merchant whether he would not be glad to see all those who are now manufacturers or importers change their business and become merchants, too, and he will speedily express his disapprobation of any such scheme. Yet the free traders want to make us a nation of agriculturists, and they ask a farmer to hail with joy a system that would transform all those who are now his customers into competitors.— American Economist.

THE last Democratic legislature of Indiana had CO door keepers employed at $5.00 per day when a dozen at $2.00 per day could have done the work. There were also 75 additional employes at from $3.00 to $5.00 per day to wait on the 150 members of the Legislation. It is just such DtmDcratic extravagance and financial mismanagement all along the line th .t has run Indiana in debt at the rate of about $500,000 per year, until it has reached the enormous sum of $9,000,000. Taxpayers will you re-elect Democrats to continue that system? y-n

The commencement exercises of the McCordsville schools took place at the M. E. church last Friday evening before one of the largest and finest audiences ever assembled in McCordsville. The church was most elegantly decorated with flowers. mottos, arches, bunting, plants, evergreen desigus etc. At eight o'clock the graduating class twenty-seven in number, preceded by J. W. Jay, County Supt. Jackson, R. J. Sample, Rev. Fish aud the flower girls marched into the room keeping time to the music furnished by Miss Laura Hervey at the piano aud took their places upon the stage facing doting parents and appreciative friends. For two hours the young orators delighted .the packed audience with their excellent productions delivered in an earnest and forcible manner. Some three hundred offerings, consisting of flowers, cash, jewelry books etc were made to the various members of the ciss by admiring friends. The contest amoung several members of the class was very close, the audience being considerably divided as to where the honors should be placed. Messrs Glascock and Jackson and the Mrs. fiarnetc and Glascock furnished excellent music for the occasion. Mr. Glascook made a very pleasing and well received address. Near the close of the exercises* Mr. Glascock on behalf of the patrons in a well timed speech presented J. W. Jay with a handsomely bound set of Shakespeares complete works consisting of seven volumes. As the present was a stunning surprise, the reply was necessarily brief. The evenings program was one long to be remembered and will form a green spot in the memory of the class when the frost of many winters have silvered their br«ws. Our schaiol is on a solid basis and the prospects for a successful term next year are very flattering. W.

CrystaJ Wedding.

On last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks of Fortville celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding, by giving a handsome dinner to their many friends of this and other places. Friends and relatives from Greeufield, Fairland, Fountaintown, Fortville, Alfonte and McCordsville, were among those present. One of the most striking features of the table (which was a model of beauty,) was a wedding cake of extensive dimensions, presented by Miss Fannie Jackson. Many beautiful presents suitable to the occasian were given, of which the following are among the number: J. W. Carter and wife,chandelier P. Rigdon and wife, tea set Wm. Harrold and wife, water set D. T. Smith and wife, fruit bolder Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, water pitcher and fruit dish Mrs. Criss, butter dish Miss Vernie Wynn, fruit dish Mrs. Annie Herr, fruit dish: Mrs. Wallace, butter dish Miss Emma Smith, cake dish: Mrs. Davis fruit dish S. B. Apple glass pitcher Annie Hiday, vinegar cruet Mrs. Cain, fruit dish H. N. Parson and wife, fruit dish Delia Smith, perfume holder Josie Hiday fruit dish J. L. Smith, fancy dish Earl Herr, glass bucket. The day was most pleasantly spent by young and old, and both host and hostess aeemed to realize that the ties of fifteen years ago are made stronger a hundred fold by the ties of fifteen years of married life. Mr. Hendricks is one of our most successful nursery men, and although he and his wife have been with us less than a year, have gained the high esteem of the people of Fortville, who wish them many such seasons ef pleasure, and a long and happy life.

a fine performance given by

the Pat Muloney Co. last evening. From the vo^al efforts in the opeuing scene, through the whitticisms of the comedians, the delicious strains of melody from the saxophone aud cornet, the superb harmony of the numerous novel specialties, and the laughable burlesque, all was highly enjoyable. It was indeed an evening of pleasure, and will always be remembered as the Maloney's best program, even among the many good ones that have preceeded it. Ellsworth (Me.) American. This show will be at Masonic Hall on next Monday night, June 6.

Mew Cash Carriers.

Mr Lee C. Thayer who always has the best aud most convenient methods and arrangements in his large dry goods and furniture establishment, has just added a new cosh carrier system which is a great improvement, as it enables the clerks to dispose of business much more rapidly.

Last Monday night a medium sized trim DUilt dark bay, four year-old mare with mane and tail black, both hind feet white and foretop clipped, strayed or was stolen from the barn of Henry Snow in this city.

Children's Meeting at Christian Church.

Next Sunday night there will be a children's grand meeting at the Christian church. There will be songs and recitations and the children will build a beautiful light house. A delightful time is anticipated and everybody is invited.

There, are five applications for liquor license make by men of this city. The saloon elements here are vastly gaining strength and before one year Knightstown will be reposing uuder the power of the wickedest evil infesting mankind. What are good people going to do about it? Evil predominate in her glory and laughs at the mock fight against her. Slavery existed and not until the sword of bloody war was unsheathed did it get routed.—Knightstown Sun.
