THE Chicago Inter Ocean is getting out some fine political cartoons. Their latest is High priest Cleveland with a mule labelled Democracy, erected on a high pedestal and he is smearing it with gold paint. It is to represent the "golden calf," before which Cleveland commands the people "to bow the knee." To the mule he says "now tuck in your ears, have some style about you and Whatever you do dont bray." Cleveland labors hard for his English friends both to establish free trade and a single gold standard. Both are disastrous to the best interests of America.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL OLNEY lost his railroad passes in the White House grounds recently. They were found and returned to him. If Olney does nothing -for the railroad companies, why does he ride on passes? That is not the worst about Olney. It i3 openly charged that notwithstanding the fact of his being the Attorney-General of the United
States in Cleveland's cabinet, he is drawing a salary as attorney or solicitor for one or two large railroad companies. As Onley has never been accused of faiiing to look after the inters of the railroad companies, we think he is clearly enti tied to his passes and fat fees from the companies, but he should resign as At-torney-General and cease to accept a salary from Uncle Sam which he has never earned.
CLEVELAND has become thoroughly disgusted with the rush of exmembers of Congress for any office in which a vacancy occurs and is especially displeased with t* the Indiana contingent. Bynum and
Cooper after the warning they had when an effort was made W fill Minister I. P. Gray's place before he ''was buried did not send in their names until assistant Comptroller of the Currency M%nsur was buried but Carlisle received wprd that they were candidates. Grovem however is disgusted with the continmras howl which the Indiana exmembers keep- up for pie and will pass Holman, Bynnm, Cooper etal by and probably appoint Col. Herman'Stump,of Maryland As3't. comptrolles. Bynum is certaiuly playing in hard lines, he has been a candidate for about everything in sight since he was defeated for Congress.
RECENTLY the Chicago Record pnblished the following headlines which clearly indicates the financial situation of the world. "Gold for all Nations." "Power of the Rothchild Co." "These Wealthy Jewish Ban&ers In Control of The Finances of The "World." jp "America the Last Nation to Bow To "Them."
The Rothchilds are the great London bankers and with their hundreds of millions of dollars invested in bonds, stocks and other securities of the various nations of the world are very ardent advocates of the Bingle gold standard. It makes all their securities about double the value they were before silver was demonetized and discredited. With all the Jewish bond holders the men who hold largely of securities, such as notes, stocks, mortgages etc., and are regularly ^drawing their high rates of interest arayed on one side. Why cannot the men ho sell their labor and its products, and hose who have mortgaged their farm tod their houses for improvements and to tush business, see that their interests lie a the other side. No one wants dishonmoney but these investment*

SHOUT AGE
ON RAIN.
There lias Been a Two Years Drouth
Most people understand that we have been lacking in rain fall for the past year or two and that tbe ground is very dry. While they know the above facts they do not fully realize the enormous shortage in rains. It would take over two solid feet all over Indiana to make up the shortage since Jan. 1st, 1893. Just think of that enormous quantity of water, a lake all over Indiana two feet deep. In a conversation with Mr. Wappenheis, chief of the U. S. signal service bureau at Indianapolis recently, he gave a representative of the REPUBLICAN the following figures. The average yearly rain fall for Indianapolis is 39.84 inches, and for the entire State of Indiana is 44.16 inches. During 1S93 the shortage was 5.52 inches. During 1894 the shortage was 13.74 inches, and for the first three months of -95 it was 5.28 inches, or a total of 24.54 inches. This month there has been no great amount of rain fall, not up to the average for the month of April. The last rains we liave'had to amount to much were in April 1893, during which time 8.60 inches fell. Since then we have had no general rain but only local showers. The ground however is in such a condition that it brings fairly good crops even with this shortage in moisture. We do not know however how long it will keep up. The lack of rain has caused the drying up of a large number of wells throughout the State. Here in this county the people are drilling deeper and going down to what is known as second water which is certainly much better and healthier.
Tuesday's Runaways.
Tuesday was a great day for runaways. Dr. Adams' brown mare, while standing on Wood street, got her reins entangled on the shaft and broke the bridle. This frightened hor and she started to run. The doctor called to the boy in the buggy, Guy Richey, to jump out, but he did not do so. In turning the corner on Pratt street the buggy upset and the boy was thrown out and slightly bruised. The buggy was smashed up some before the horse got loose and came home.
Earl Jackson was driving Garris' delivery wagon near the South school building when the horse became frightened by a tug breaking, ran off and broke things up somewhat. Henry Hastings caught the horse before much damage was done.
Late in the evening John Draper's team, while standing in front of Lee Thayer's, where he had bought a bill of furniture, scared and ran away, but were caught before any damage was done. Two ladies were sitting high on a scfa on top of the wagon bed, one of them with a little child on her lap. Fortunately, in all the runaways no one was badly hurt.
The Depot to Be Newly Painted.
The Panhandle Co. ran their paint car and a force of men in here Tuesday night and they are at work painting the depot. The freight depot, watch house and section house are all to be painted and put in first class shape.

made with silver and gold. Why is it not legal for them to pay back the same kind of money with which the investments were made. The remonetization of silver, and its use as primary money would increase values in this country and enable people to get from under ttie enormous load of debts they are carryi ng.

In speaking of the electric signal bells at the railroad crossings, Monday, we said the bell would begin ringing when the train was "15,000" feet from the crossing, when we should have said, 1,500 feet. The 15,000 was entirely too much, being near three miles. It was a a typographical error.
The School board have two State street and three Pennesylvania Street lots in view for the new scool building. It should be centrally located where it will be of easy and convenient access and also where it will show up well for the city. This building will be used for so many years that no mistake should be made in sleeting the site. A few hundred dollars should not stand in tbe way of getting the best possible location. It is to be remembered that one room «f the new building should be used for a city library room and therefore so much the more should it be centrally located. Those who have the matter in charge are all disposed to exactly right, and the best for the people do.

THE SCHOOL BONDS SOLD.
$30,000 Goes to Parson, Leech & Co of Chicago at Far.
When the committee appointed to receive bids for the sale of the $30,000 of six per cent, school bonds met there was not a lively response. The representative of Seasongood & Mayer, of Cincinnati, was willing to offer a premium, so he said if the matter was referred to a good attorney who would say the bemuds were legal and all O K, but as ho bad had abundant time to look up the matter the committee passed him by. Bent ley Maslich, representing Parson, Leech & Co. of Chicago, offered par for the bonds, nad as an evidence of good faith deposit $500 in cash on the sale. It is now a go, although the rate is a little high on account of the bonds being bejonu ih^ 2 per cent, limit. They are all O K, however, and will be promptly paid.
The Council met last night in adjourned session and transacted considerable business, holding until near midnight*
A resolution was passed adopting the report of the City Commissioners on the opening of Pennsylvania street. The benefits and damages balance each other at $925. The City Treasurer was instructed to collect the amounts assessed against property owners as benefits by June 1st.
On account of there not being a sufficient number of property owners asking for a cement side-walk on each side of Walnut street and a brick walk on the east side of Pratt street, both ordinances passed at the last meeting were declared null and void. It takes the owners of two thirds of the number of feet to be improved. By a resolution, however, the plans and specifications for the cement walk were adopted and it will be built, as will also the brick walk.
