Too much politics and to little patriotism would describe the Congressional '.situation.

THK Salvation Army has struck India•oapolis and propose to wake the natives of that metropolis.

IN CONDUCT a soft answer t-urneth vaway wrath in politics a good dinner at •Che White House mends breaches.

THE Shelby Democrat says: -'Begin the iev» year on the Democratic platform but -doeit run under it when it rains." It ^wouldn't make much difference, for its a Heaky old thing, anyway.

COL. BRECKINRIDGE, having discovered •£hat his silver tongne is not sufficient to fill a public hall, should try golden silence. Nothing would so become the ^Colonel as reticence and a back seat.

'SOME Democratic magnate in Washing"ton is talking of increasing the revenue by putting a tax of two cents, in the ^orm of a stamp, upon all bank checks. That was a war measure of the Republicans.

'It is said the reason the Democrats Vfaeld banquets over the country St. Jackson's Day at $3.00 a head was to assist

FJTTE U. S. Treasury so that Cleveland would not have to issue bonds again. It -will not help him though.

"THE trial of Winnie Smith, who killed Weston B. Thomas, of Anderson, at Brighton Beach, July 12, was commenced -in the Criminal Court at Indianapolis yesterday. Hon. C. L. Henry is one of •rthe attorneys for the prosecution.

IF ALL reports are true, there will be many fee and salary bills introduced in the legislature. What the people want is a Law that will give the official a fair compensation for their work, but they dont s^ant any extravagant salaries paid.

•COL. Breckenridge, as a drawing card is a complete failure. His audiences where he has lectured, could nearly be •counted^ on your fingers, showing that the majority of the people in the United States have some"respect for morality.

BY a decision of the Superior Court, xit Indianapolis, Saturday, Clerk Fesler finds that he will be entitled to per diem for services in the Superior and Circuit Courts. These fees will become apart of the fund from which the clerk draws his salary.

IT certainly was a simple Jeflersoman feast at Indianapolis Tuesday night in hoDor of Andrew Jackson which the Democrats held. $3.00 a plate is pretty steep for simplicily though. Some people liliiak it was simple to pay such a price and that is where the simplicity comes in.

A NUMBER of our great railroad companies have given notice to their employes that they will be discharged if they visit saloons or gambling rooms, no •m atter whether they drink or play. Men who drink and gamble cannot te entrusted with the lives of human beings.

A PIG in Wayne county swallowed a $5 .-gold piece the other day, which a man accidentally dropped in the pen while he was feeding the animal. The owner of the hog said the brute was "agin' the administration," as it was trying to down the gold reserve.—Elwood CallX/eader.

S. G. CLEVELAND and D. B. Hill, in fighting each other showed their opposites up in fine style and very effectually killed tfieir opponents off. In doing so they also gave the Democratic party many a knock down and a permanent black eye. The idol of the mugmumps and the chiefiiaiaof the''boys" are both badly disfigured and Cleveland permanently -crippled.

AT Charleston, S. C., Col. W. P. Breckenridge lectured Saturday night on the philosophy of our government to an audience of forty people, including three adies. Breckenridge will not be a success as a lecturer. He is a moral leper whom the American people should not AU1 will not countenance. He will sink jilo obscurity as he deserves to.

THE Republicans carried Indiana last fall because the people were dissatisfied •with the Democratic management of STational and State affairs. They want foetCer business methods, they want -statesmanship rather than partisanship to guide and control affairs. The Republicans promised better things and they anufit keep their promises. No doubt a hungry horde of lobbyists will be around Abe Legislature who will try and secure (4fee appointment of a large number of scsoless employes. This should not be -at&owed. The taxpayers condemned such & igcs&Gtiee in November. If the Republican jsarty will well and truly keep their flple&S-arm pledges, as we believe they will, au»i sire the people an honest, economises!, statesmanlike and business like manjagemc rtfcof affairs, they will be continued a JKMSPCC for lo these many years. The •way to continue in power is to deserve to tdose.

David and Grover Reunited January 3, Under the latter's mahoganee! —Chicago Dispatch (Rep.) TODAY, for the first time since 1873 do

the Republicans control both branches of the Indiana Legislature. Let them be honest and economical and do away with a large number of useless doorkeepers and clerks.

THE Republicans in the State Legislature must pass a fee and salary law that will reduce the expenses of county officials in a county. Why give them so much more than they can earn at their usual vocations. Let them be paid fairly but not extravagantly. Let it be remembered every time that if a man thinks the salary too low he need not take the office.

AN OLD COLD

Is Chronic Catarrh, toe Worst Disease Known.

The first stage of catarrh is commonly called catching cold. It may begin in the head, nose, throat or lungs. In the majority of ceses no attention is paid to a cold, therefore nearly half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite catarrh.

The second stage of catarrh is sometimes called an old cold. If in the head, there is roaring, cracking in the ears, periodical headache, and confusion of the senses. If in the no3e, discharge, sneezing, noisy breathing, and bad breath. In the throat it produces enlarged tonsils, hawking, sore throat, hoarseness or weak voice. When the catarrh reaches the bronchial tubes and lungs it produces cough, pain in the chest, expectoration, night sweats, loss of flesh and shortness of breath.

A cold in the head, which a single bottle of Pe-ru-na will cure, soon becomes a case of chronic catarrh, which will require many bottles to entirely cure. A soie throat, which one bottle of Pe-ru-na will oure, soon becomes chronic pharyngitis or enlarged tonsils, which will require many bottles. A slight cough, which, without a vestige of doubt, would soon disappear with the use of Pe-ru-na, comes chronic bronchitis, which requires a persistent use of Pe-ru-na for some time. There area great many cases of consumption each year due directly to a neglect of coughs, colds, etc., which, if Pe-ru-na had been kept in the house and used according to directions, would have been prevented.

For a frea treatise on catarrh, coughs, cold*, consumption, and all diseases of winter, send to The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio

Temperance at Charlottesville. -V|

Owing to the value of space, we will condense as much as possible in this article, and yet, we ask forbearance if we are too lengthy. Staguation is an enemy to life and purity, and wherever this enemy prevails, there must be some cause for its prevalence. Bat we are such busy people that we do not find time to look for causes we sccept the sitnation and try to endure it. But to the living creature in the pool of stagnation, there comes a supreme moment when endurance ceases to be a virtnre—it is life or death. If life is only possible by escaping from the pool, then escape one must, or die. But if the possibilities are that the pool may be cleaned and purified, then the cleaning process should at once be begun. Stagnated thought beclouds the mind and causes one to judge wrongly, to act indiscretly, and to get out of harmony with all that is good, pure and noble. The inspired word says: '-Woe unto the man that calls good evil and evil good."

The word "crank" has been woefully abused by the American people. We are not prompted to make this assertion because it has ever been applied to us, for we do not remember ever to hare been called a "crank." But generally it ss applied to the man who seems to be "too gooa." But how about those who are the opposite? How about the man who violates the law and wants to be respected and patronized by respectable people? How about the man who settles down in the small villages where there are no police, no corporation laws, no one to bring him to justice, and who there practices law-breaking and defies good people to interfere? He certainly is mentally unbalanced, or he is a knave and a villan. In either case he ought to be taken charge of, and not be permitted to run at large. A saloon keeper is permitted by law to sell liquor by the drink, and hence we cannot consistently condemn him, only so far as we are not fav orable to such business. A man who has government license can sell by the quart, and as the law grants him this privilege, we, of course, submit to it.

But is it right for any community to suffer because liquor is sold by the drink in its midst unlawfully? Shall men who talk about hypocricy in the church be permitted to practice the most damnable ypocricy ever practiced, and continue to do it without restraint? Ought law abiding people in a community to sit still and permit these ravishers of home aud happiness to carry on their sneaking work, and then call such action on their part, "returning good for evil?" Were the Chinese similarly equipped with the Japanese, were they as well drilled and equally as intellectual as their enemy and were they in every respect equal to them and would meet them in open conflict, how long would it be before China would overcome?

And shall intelligent, truthful, law abiding people, in the conflict of right against wrong suffer defeat and that continually? If so, it is just because they do not want victory. But at Charlottesville we have the victory, let us keep it. Then let it be understood by all that the work done here on the line of temperance has not been a "flash in the paB," or that it is merely the outburst of blind enthusiasm. Some no doubt are fondly dream ing it is, but that it is to continue, so that next summer when people passing through our village on their way to church shall not be pained by "wide open" places filled with suspicious characters, making the holy day of God hideous with their bachanalian revelry.

Yours for victory, J. W. Bow EN.

A CLOSE CALL.

George Klchman Came Near Being Killed By the Oars.

George Richman, who teaches school in Sugar Creek township, had a narrow escape for his life Tuesday night. As he was driving home his horse became frightened at the cars, ran away and tried to cross the track in front of the cars. Mr. R., seeing that they would be hit by the locomotive, threw himself backward out of the cart and escaped without injury, but the horse and cart were literally torn to pieces.

A Surprise On Dr. J. A. Comstock.

Wednesday, when Dr. Comstock arrived at his residence about noon, Le found the house full of his relatives and friends, and the dinner table well filled with good things, such as roast turkey and many other delicacies, too numerous to mention. The visitors brought with them two very nice and comfortable arm chairs. Among the throng were his brother John, wife and two children, of Dayton, Ohio his sisters, Mrs. Frederick of Shelby county and Mrs. Garrison and daughters, of this city, his aunt, Mrs. Catherine Comstock, J. W. Comstock and family, Mrs. Catherine Milburn, son Richard and daughter Mattie, John Milburn and wife. The arrangements were made and the guests invited without the knowledge of the Doctor, and was quite a surprise, but as it was his 52nd birth day, he feels that it was properly celebrated.

OBITUARY.

FRANCES MARIA GOODIKG.

Frances Maria Gooding, wife of David S. Gooding, and daughter of William and Elizabeth Sebastian, was fatally attacked by paralysis on Friday night, December 14, A. D. 1894 at her own home, and after enduring much pain and suffering died Jan. 6, A. D., 1895, at about 9:30 o'clock a. m. During her entire affliction though her suffering was great, she bore it with great patience and Christian fortitude (The affliction defied medical skill and good nursing, apparently rendering her death inevitable.) Her naturally good constitution resisted until overcome by death. She was born June 9, A. D. 1820, Scott county, Kentucky, near Georgetown, and came with her parents to Greenfield, Indiana in the fall of 1836, iu which she has continuously resided up to her death, being at the time of her death, the oldest continuous female inhabitant of the city of Greenfield, as her husband is the oldest continuous male inhabitant of this city, not the oldest persons but only the oldest continuing inhabitants. She was intermarried with David S. Gooding at the old Sebastian homestead in this city, March 12, 1844. On the 12th day of last March she and her husband celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage at their own residence which was attended by many of the friends of their earlier and later years. As fruits of their marriage she became the mother of three children, Eugene Sebastian Gooding, an un-named infant girl, both of whom died in infancy, and Marshall B. Gooding. She had five sisters, Eliza A. Offutt, wife of Humphrey Offutt, Gabrella Hart, wife of Andrew T. Hart, Amanda M. Branbam, wife of Alexander K. Branham, Asberene Morris, wife of Hiram Morris, Harriet Pierson, wife of Orson Pierson and John T. Sebastian, formerly clerk of the Hancock Circuit Court, as was also his father before him. All of whom were at one time residents of this city, and all of whom are now deceased, excepting one sister, Mrs. Morris and one brother-in-law, Alexander K. Branham. All this large family, composed of father, mother, daughters, son and sons-in-law have crossed over the great river, leaving on this side only one sister and two brothers-in-law, Branham and Gooding. Of Mrs. "Frank Gooding," as. she was familiarly called, it can truly be said she was a true and faithful wife and mother, and a sincere friend and noble woman. None knew her well but to admire and love her for her many good traits. She united with the Methodist Episcopal church many years ago and was baptized by Rev. Reuben D. Robinson, in the presence of her husband son and daughter-in-law, all upon their knees, in her own parlor. For more than a year past, she was kept from the church services often because of her failing eyesight and inability to kneel in prayer and rheumatic pains. That she died in the Christian faith there is no question.

During her last affliction she frequently expressed herself clearly and unmistakeably. When taken by the hand by her husband in the last hour of her life, when immediate death was imminent, she feebly uttered these words, "Papa I am almost dead," and then raising her right hand and pointing toward Heaven, her last words were, "blessed Jesus."
