Webster’s Dictionary says the words “transpire” and “perspire" mean the same, hence ’tis the proper caper to exclaim, “I am transpirin'; freely.” Tongue lashing of the most stalwart character is now going on between ex-Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, and ex-Vice Presidential candidate Whitelaw Reid, of New York. Both are as glib of tongue as fish-mongers. There be those, and they are generally level headed, who assert that the Republicans are not being turned out of office rapidly enough ; especially aa there is a plentiful supply of Democrats capable, willing and anxious to work for Uncle Sam.
The effect of the protection policy inaugurated by the Republican party and emphasized by the McKinley law is shown in the fact that the exportation of grains during the fiscal year ending in June last was 100,000,000 bushels less than during the previous year. A demonstration of the adage that people will not buy from us if we do not buy from them. The suggestion made b\ Hie Star Press in January laat, th there was good Democratic Presidential timber in Governor Claude Matthews has been endorsed by many Democratic publications. Governor Matthews is a power in politics, and this power is spreading; he will be a prominent factor in considering the make up of the National Demccratic ticket in 1896. One of the sad commentaries on Republican politicians is the fact that they apparently rejoice and feel exceeding glad because of the busineas stagnation and financial stringency which has been affecting the country. Democratic indignation may he considered righteous in regard to this matter when it is remembered that these evils are the direct result of Republican legislation. One of the most potent arguments put forth by the gold standard men against the use of silver as money is that is too bulky and heavy for common use in trade. The same objection, if it is an objection, holds good as to gold—a |20 gold piece is heavy to handle and weighty in the pocket. The truth is, however, that neither gold nor silver are too heavy to be used as a standard upon which to base our currency—both are sufficiently good and stable to base paper currency upon. Our word for it, there will be no complaint from the masses if silver is made a standard.
The Banner-Times revels in itsselfassurned pleasant task of talking about the injury to the business interests of the country because of Democratic laws and measures. The B.-T. is a little bit "soft” upon this as weli as many other subjects; it seems to forget that there is no law relating to the currency or taritl on the statute books of the United States that was placed there by the Democratic party. The Republican party may be ashamed of this record and its effect upon the country, but they must shoulder the burden of their shame— the people hold them responsible for their own acts, and the attempt to shift this responsibility on to Demo-
Iowa has complimated the Democratic legislature of Indiana by indorsing the new tux law now in force in this State.
The fact is made plain that Repub licans are the greatest success as com mon scolds and fault tinders. They do not stop to consider the fact that the conditions criticised result from their own legislative acts.
The suggestion is made to appoint Senator Turpie a Judge of the United States Supreme Court to succeed Judge Blatchford, deceased. Senator Turpie would make an ideal judge, and his appointment would give universal statifaction.
What the people desire is good money; you cannot anger them by making it too plentiful; silver, gold, greenbacks, etc., are acceptable, and pocket books well filled with any or either of these forms of money make the hearts of the many glad. The President of the Lady Board of Managers of the World’s Fair is Mrs Potter Palmer; she has proven most acceptable and efficient as an officer, and has added to this pleasing record by donating her official salary to t:;e work of benefltting the poor children
of Chicago.
The minds of men are perverted, some in one way and some in another. A peculiar pervertion of mind and distortion of judgment was that which caused a religious convention, held in Pittsburgh, to give currency to the thought that the brave firemen who went down to death from the tower on the cold storage building at the World’s Fair was a judgment from on high against the management of the Columbian Exposition because of desecration of Sunday, by keeping the Fair epen'on that day. Wisdom in stste-craft will place the Democratic party beyond the reach of successful adverse criticism, and the opportunity therefor is now at hand. By reason of Republican legislation the country has passed through a sea son of monetary stringency and busi ness stagnation. The Democrats in Congress should make haste slowly in working out the reforms necessary in our tariff and currency laws ; there should be no experimenting—wipe out the iniquities of Republican leg islation and replace them with laws of unquestionable equity calculated to benefit the masses. We have had sufficient of laws calculated only to tickle the capitalists. The lesson of the protective tariff as evidenced in the wool market should notbelosf. The people should look the facts squarely in the face. 1 he price of wool has steadily and slowly declined since this paternal protective tax thereon was levied. In 1891 there was a falling off in price, and in 1892 the price was still lower. In both years mentioned the protec tionists asked the wool growers to he patient, and prophesied that the protective tax of 12 cents per pound would eventually raise the price sufli ciently high to make up for the low prices of the past. They waited until the clip of 1893 was ready for market. The increase in price did not materialize ■ on the contrary there was a still further slump in the market; remember that the McKinley law was and is still in force What further proof is needed of the fallacy of the protection system as it relates to the products of field and farm? Just as well admit the truth ; McKinleyism is detrimental to the farmer; it unjustly taxes the consumer; it benefits only the capitalists and trusts engaged in the manufacturing pur-

The Republicans have determined to take another pull at the Indiana Legislative apportionment law. They are going to bring suit to test the constitutionality of the apportionment act passed last winter, and the complaint will be filed early in August Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State Committee, has made several trips to Indianapolis lately, and upon his last visit he insisted that the suit be tiled at the earliest possible date. The attorneys state that they have already decided in what county they will file their complaint, but refuse to say what the county is. It will be a county where there will be a Repub lican Judge, where the otherjofficials are Republicans, and where tlie terms of the officials extend beyond the next general election. The complaint will not differ materially from that filed before Judge Bundy, of Henry county, a year ago, who rendered a decision to the liking of the Republicans, and which was affirmed by the Supreme Court, as to the essential point that the act then in force was unconstitutional. The only difference in the conditions is that where the Supreme court of last year was solidly Repub lican, the Supreme Court that will pass on this case stands four Democrats to one Republican. The attorneys expect a decision in the lower court at the September term and one from the Supreme Court some time
during the fall.
The South Bend Times most truth fully says: The creation of a legal tender currency, in the form of treas ury notes, was one of the most bene ficent results ot the war of 1861 65.

Churohe* that have not been (Hied for ten years are now overflowing every Sunday A feeling that you will be inconsistent should not influence you. We should do out duty." Director-General Davis said Friday night that he had advised Sunday closing. "It has been shown that the people for whom the move was made have not visited the fair to any large extent,” he said, “and by reason of the opening it has been demonstrated that their is a lack of energy among exhibitors and employes which would be removed by closing the fair for one day In the week. I believe, further, that the fair will be benefited financially in the end.” LAST SUNDAY FAIR. Chicago, July 17.—Sunday, July 10, was the last open Sunday at the World’s Columbian exposition. It was also tiie day on which the entire gate receipts of the world’s fair were to be devoted to the relief fund of the heroes who lost their lives in the cold-storage fire while obeying orders. Even the cause to which all visitors contributed their portion failed to bring out a large crowd. Forty-nine thousand four hundred and one persons paid to enter the exposition gates Sunday. There were 2,403 children’s tickets sold. This gives the firemen’s benefit fund $24,099.75. The tickets reported do not represent the total amount sold, for there were thousands of persons who took the opportunity offered by purchasing admissions to contribute to the relief fund but who did not attend the fair. When all the returns are in it is probable that $30,000 will be added to the fund from this source. The fund, exclusive of the sale of tickets for the fair on Sunday, has reached $79,287. asked to comb. Chicago, July 18.—The national commission Monday morning acquiesced in the action of the local directory in closing the gates Sunday and adopted resolutions appealing to the people, now that all discussion is ended, to visit the
