THERE are more Grand Army men in the present Legislature, which is Republican, than there has been for years and more hold positions about that body than •ever before. This shows what the Republican party thinks of the old soldiers.

PHILADELPHIA is said to be in the hands of a Tammany, and certain figures submitted present that appearance. The expenditures of the city in 1886 were $8,925,000, in 1889 rose to $15,287,110, and in 1894 soared to $33,658,000. These statistics are calculated to make the late rulers of New York weep over lost opportunities.

REDUCED opportunities for employment reduced wages for the employed. Reduced prices for raw material, reduced earnings for every producer in the country. Reduced exports, reduced balances of trade and reduced store of gold in the National Treasury.

These are the free gifts of Free Trade Democracy for the New Year.

WHILE the Republican legislators all went to Indianapolis with very excellent intentions, they will be beset upon all sides with temptations to forsake the interests of the people and stand by lobbyists and pap suckers. The legislators went there pledged to look after the interests of the taxpayers, pledged by platform and personal promises, let them keep those promises. The Republican party is on trial and it should keep its faith with the people. If any traitor for personal gain either in money or political advancement offers to sell out the people, let him be spotted and driven out of the party to the tune of the Rogue's March.

THE New York Sun, America's leading Democrat paper, opens up on Cleveland in the following vigorous style: "The free wool schedule took effect Jan. 1st., at a time when Mr. Cleveland was scurrying about to find money to meet the ordiuary expenses of the Government, the wool schedule came as a re minder of the fatuous and fatal policy of Mr. Cleveland in throwing away revenue ami then being forced to borrow money. Free coal and free iron would have accompanied free wool, if Mr. Cleveland could have had his way. Thus he industriously knocks holes in the Constitution, the Democratic platform and the Treasury. The Democratic party is broken, the Treasury is on the road to bankruptcy, the Constitution, as expounded at Chicago, is a rag to tread on."

THE Commander-in-chief ef the Grand Army has appointed W. M. Cockran, of Anderson Post, Indianapolis, a special aid to briug to popular-attention the matter of military drill in public schools This is a matter that deserves special attention as it would be of great practical beuefit to the pupils in making them stronger and more graceful physically and brighter mentally. Greenfield is especially fortunate at this time in having for one of her city school trustees, Mayor E. P. Thayer, Jr., of the 2nd Rcgiment Indiana Legion, who both understands and appreciates the benefits to be derived from a military drill in the public schools. We trust he will take steps along with the other trustees to introduce the system in our schools. lu Germany, which is given up to be one of the greatest school countries in the world, physical training constitutes a large part of the work and their higher public schools are called "Gymnasia" for that reason. The proper dea is t« give the children a mens sana corpore sano.

JOHN BURNS, M. P., the leader of the British working men, learned many things while in this country. Just before leaving he said: "I have learned a great deal about American ways, and I have been greatly impressed. The laboring masses here, while in some cases they suffer greatly, are better off financially than their brethren abroad. There is a future for American workmen. I fail to see any for the English laborer. I hope to get back to America someday."

We should like Democratic editor's to ponder over the above and then decide if they want to continue their efforts to reduce Americau working men to the level of those in Europe by their free trade policy.

SOME Democratic Congressmen have been speaking their mind and telling some plain truths. Last week one of them said— "By the standard of the fathers he bolived he was a Democrat he revered Jefferson and Jackson and worshipped at their shrine. But it he was to be carried in a conveyance labelled 'Democratic' guided by an obstinate driver over an unknown road with precipices and chasms yawning on all sides he was goins to jump out aud he wasn't partieuar as to where he alighted."

Lots of voters jumped out last fall, some of them went with the Populists. many declared with the Republicans for Protection, Reciprocity aud Prosperity and a large number sat on the fence and watched the procession file by. Those on the fence thought that possibly the old Democratic ship would be able to •j'Ki right itself and the men in command possibly do some good, but things have frjh gone from bad in November to worse in

January and getting no better very rapdiy. Many of the men on the fence are now more disposed than ever to go with the Republicans because they have found fQjout to a certainty that th present Democratic leaders are not capable of running the government.

CONGRESSMAN Sibley, a Pennsylvania Democrat, talked right out in meetin' on the currency bill and threw whole chunks of truth at Grover Cleveland and his cuckoos. Here are some of the chunks: "If ever a rebuke was needed to one who has attempted to trample down the prerogatives of the people, it is needed for him who has attempted to usurp the entire government to himself. The time has come when there should be something more than brains, belly and brass to this government.'' He referred to George III, and said that it has been given out that any one who voted against his bill would incur the displeasure of the King. Four days after the repeal of the Sherman act, members had told him that they had been promised revenue collectorships if they would vote for repeal." "We saw our distinguished executive, after the election of 1892, hie himself away for recreation. Where on earth did he go? To the classic shores of Hog island. The Bible says that when they are set at liberty each man will go to his own place. Where did he go? To Buz zard's Bay. And ever since the old ship of state has been bumping her nose into Hog island and foundering in the waters of Buzzard's Bay, with prosperity but a cable's length away."

Speaking of his Democratic principles, Mr. Sibley said that if he got into what he supposed was a mahogany wagon and found that it was only veneered bass wood being driven over a rocky road by an inexperienced driver, he would jump out and would not care much where he landed. He drew a picturesque sketch of Democrats sitting around banquet halls worshiping at the shrine of Andrew Jacksou and talking theories as different from his as the throne of hades is from the fruit of the Tree of Life, and if Andrew Jackson's spirit were to appear, it would, he concluded, kick over the table and banish those apostates in disgust.

MR. BYNUM, who has been sacrificing the best ten years of his life to the welfare of the country and his fellow citizens, by serving them in Congress with all the force bis physical and mental ability were capable of, still feels that he has not done enough. The people last fall thinking that Mr. Bynum had better devote some time to the interests of himself and family voted by an overwhelming majority to release him from all public duties,

But

Mr. Bynum in his great

love for his country and fellow citizens, over looks all such matters as last tail's election, and is desirous of making a martyr of himself still further by serving the dear people as a public officer. It is announced that just as soon as a customs officer, an appraiser, who is now sick and expectcd to resign, can be disposed of, that Mr. Cleveland will appoint Bynum to the position, as he is indorsed by all ot' the Indiana delegation and is solid with the pie distributer any way. The salary is $7,000 per year and is during good behavior or until the other party needs the position in its business. Bynum seems bound to lay aside all personal feelings and ambitious and stick to the public teat just as long as he can hang on. He is tenacious at any rate aud has perseverance aud continuity remarkably developed.

THE Republicans in the Legislature began by cutting down the expenses of this session §5,000, and a bill allowing auy extra pay must be read three days in succession. There will evidently be no smuggling done. It could be cut down more than $5,000. Watch out for useless employes aud prune them to the lowest limit. Make no extravagant allowances for green houses and other flubduberies at the various State institutions. All comforts and necessaries should be furnished abundantly but shut off extravagance.

TUESDAY ex-speaker Warren G. Sayer, of Wabash filed suit for Attorney General ICetcham against Trustee J. M. Thompson, of Noble township for $532, which is the unexpended school fund balance. Keteham is following swiftly in Greene Smith's footsteps aud the Legislature should at once repeal the law under which such enormous fees can be grabbed. The Republican party exists for the good of the whole people and not to pass or keep laws in existence upon which fee grabbers may fatten. Ciip the Attorney General's big fees off at once. Do it quickly.

M. CASIMER-PEKIER, President of France, resigned yesterday. His cabinet resigned a few days ago on account of an adverse vote in the Chamber of Deputies. The action was brought about by the action of the Socialists, who have gained considerable power and prestige. They claimed that the President represented the capitalists aud with his downfall the monopolists and the reactionists are carred down alf-o

A NEW ordinance at Freeport, 111., prohibits liquor selling by druggists, save on physician's prescription, under penalty of $25 to $200 fine, and druggists are in arms as it prevents the sale of wiue for sacramental purposes. As the churches, as a rule all prepare their own wine for sacramental purposes, the drug stores will not lose average sales amounting to $1 each. They can no doubt, stand the loss of those sales better than the people can stand so many illegal sales by some drug stores. Vi'ysi mm $10,000 l^lt

Hughes' Bank.

YESTERDAY afternoon the Indianapolis jury returned their verdict which gave Winnie Smith, the murderer of Western B. Thomas, 18 years in the penitentiary. The verdict is somewhat of a surprise as few thought he would go for that long. The jury, however, stood out a long time with nine for a life sentence. We believe the verdict a proper one. Some say that Thomas was largely to blame, no doubt that is true, but he got his punishment at the time, too much too, when he lost his life, but both casts show that the way of the transgressor is hard. Smith's ca9e will be appealed.

COUNCIL MEETING.

A Short and Uneventful Session. The roll call showed all the city officials and Councilmen Banker, Beecher, Eagan, Morford, Moulden and Vaughn present.

The Southern Indiana Gas Company presented its bond for $2,500 to cover any damages they might be liable for in using certain streets and alleys of the city. Crawford Fairbanks and S. P. Sherin were sureties. Fairbanks is worth over $1,000,000 and Sherin over $100,000. The bond was deemed O. K.

The City Commissioners reported the damages and benefits arising to the abuting property owners on the alleys to be opened north fi'om Douglas street, between State and East streets.

It was moved that the matter of putting in a sewer system be referred to the Street and Alley Committee to investigate whether a system could be put in this year, and if so, how?

Tlie Cosmopolitan Club's Open Meeting. Last evening at Mrs. E. T. Swope's the Cosmopolitan Club gave another ot their open meetings. The were quite a number of guests present who thoroughly enjoyed aud appreciated the forty-minute paper of Miss Mary Woodward, of the High School, on the Enfranchisement of Women." Mis3 Woodwara had her subject well in hand and her delivery was excellent. On the evening of January 30 another open meeting will be held with Mrs. Dr. S. M. Martin, wheu Mrs. Dr. Mary Bruner will talk on "Heredity." Later speakers will be Mrs. John H. Binford, Hon. Wen. R. Hough, Rev. Tfaos. Stabler, D. D., of the M. E. church and Rev. E. W.

Hammel's, on the principles of the Prohibition and the Republican parties. The idea of the club in these meetings is quite an excellent one, and we hope to see it adopted by other clubs occasionally.

New Tinplate Workers' Scale. PITTSBURG, Jan 16.—The Amalgamated association has adopted a new wage scale, which will alfcct about 10,000 tinplate workers throughout the country.
