THE big dressed ber-f combine are trying to prove that it is a scarcity of cattle that lias caused the great advance in the price of beef recently. That may be correct but it is hard for an orninary beef eater to understand why when the price of cattle is only one cent a pound higher, it is necessary to advance the price of dressed meats five or six cents a pouud.
Oh yes the combine is a pliilantropic organization.
THE Detroit Tribune a paper, comes forward with
There's only one way to geS Sbady so that you can be sure that you are ready —and we are ready to get you ready with the World-Beating,
Most Durably Built, L-ghtest sn Draft, Greatest in Capacity, Simplest in Construction.
Republican this sugges
tion ifi,.regard to gold and silver. It favors a dollar partly silver partly gold at the following proportions: 12 9-10 grain standard gold, 200j^ grains standard silver. This would make a new American dollar about the size of our half dollar. The Tribune claims this dollar would be of stable value for if silver went down gold would rise in equal proportion and vice versa. The people are aroused on the financial question and will prove to the single gold standard advocate 5 that there are two sides to the financial question.
THE Daily papers Monday morning contained their usual large batch of accounts of Sunday crimes. It is simply appalling the enormous number of crimes that are committed every Saturday night and Sunday. There are two reasons for ^this, the first is that in many cases the law breakers fill themselves with whiskey and then with a revolver or knife in their pocket are ready for bloody work. Why is it the laws are not more stringently enforced against persons carrying concealed weapons. They are the cause of very many murders. If the laws against carrying concealed weapons was rigidly enforced, then when a man got mad he would have no murderous weapons handy whereby he might take the life of some fellow being. Without weapons a man could resort to fisticuffs but as a rule no great harm is done in that way. Magistrates before whom persons charged with carrying concealed weapons appear should fine the violaters to the fall extent of the law.
IT IS understood that President Cleveland proposes to being all of the 200,000 federal officers into line on the financial question for the single gold standard. All men in office and all men wanting office and that is a big number, must worship at the shrine of the golden calf. In the days of long ago Moses overthrew the Golden calf, worshipped by the Israelites and the great American people will overthrow the Golden calf of these latter days. It also has been erected under the lead of the Israel, its money lenders of Europe and America, and Cleveland and his followers are trying to guard it. It will be overthrown however because the single gold standard benefits a class and a very small class although powerful. The use of both silver and gold as primitive money would benefit the great mass of the people and that policy is best which brings the greatest good to the greatest umber.
ONE of the great evils of this country is the enormous number of federal office-
holders. A decade or two ago it was used most delicious drink at my place. The as a campaign argument that there were 100,000 federal office-holders. Now that number has been increased until the American people are burdened with the support of 200,000 office holders, with at least haif of. tboie about .Washt

absolutely useless. Notwithstanding that fact, however, the number is being increased by Cleveland's administration. The last congress abolished 409 places in the federal public service ami added 1,775, making a net increase of 1,304, at a net additional cost of $815,376 a year. This helps to explain why tbe outgo of the government exceeds its income. The people a'-e not raising unusual objections to their enormous expenditures because they are ignorant of the amounts involved. This country is now spending over $500,000,000 yearly, and much of it goes to useless officials, persons who have a pull with a senator, congressman or administrative officer, who sees that a place is provided for their favorite. It is a crying shame in this government and there should be a change.
ATTOHNET General W. A. Ketchan will defend the suit brought by the County Auditors and Treasurers to declare the late fee and salary bill unconstitutional. By a very stupid blunder of some one's ami stupid overlooking by the lawmakers the auditors and treasurers are allowed salaries of various amounts but their salaries must be made up as are the salaries of the Clerk, Recorder and sliersft" from the fees of thier office. It is well known that the fees of the auditor and treasurer amount to a very small amount infact would not not begin to pay an adequate salary for the work of those offices. That fact a lone however will not make the law unconstitutional. Itmay not be fair but it will hardly be declared null and void for that reason. If there is no way by which these officers can secure the proper pay for services, they still have the North American privilege of resigning. We never heard of any law being declared unconstitutional because 'officers received salaries that were too high yet ther. are and have been thousands of instances of 'that kind in Indiana. Tax payers however have been patient and long suiiering but have finally become aroused and do not propose to meekly and without objestions bear their grevious burdens longer. The more the county officers agitate the question of fees the lower they will get until they are in proper proportion to the earn ing of the average man of equal ability in the ordinary business occupations.
Price ot Electric Lights Ueduced.
The Greenfield Electric Light and power company have reduced the price of commercial arc lights one dollar per month. Lights running until 12 p. m. are now $6 per month and 9 oclock lights are $5. There prices however are considerably reduced where a number of lights are taken. An incandescent plant will soon be put in that will be very fine for this city, a convenience and comfort as well as a luxury. The cost of lights will not be expensive, as a 16-candle power will be furnished at 9.10 of a cent per hour auctual use, as indicated by meter measure. Chas. L. Henry who owns the plant and his representative, here Mr. Corcoran, are both very desirous of giving Greenfield a splendid plant and fine service at a reasonable cost.
To the Public.
I have been in the soda water business for the past ten years, and for the last two years I have owned a fountain in this city. I would not think of buying syrups or anything else for my fountain when I can make the best and purest syrups myself. My patrons can rest assured that I nse nothing but the verybest material in making flavors. I have the reputation of making the best soda in town, and this summer you can get the
rich and poor will fair alike when they come to me for soda. I have easy chairs and nice tables and you can sit down and enjoy your soda. Give me a call once and I am sure you Will come again. .HAUnY. BEO.Trj.Af J-v itoker ju*d wC*u:c^:kn. •s c-, j-: ,,,
