The shooting of train robbers, if kept up to the recent standard, will soon cause a suspension of this peculiar Jesse Janies industry. In Tennessee a new departure has been taken — the State has bought a large tract of coal land, and the penitentiary convicts are going to be employed in mining it. Long years ago John Turpie, a brodicr of Senator Turpie, disappeared from home, and he has since been mourned as dead. Alter an absence of forty years he returned to Indiana, olis last \v< ok He has been living in California and is quite wealthy. On October 11, according to the docket. Ex Governor Chase is to be tried in the Howard County Circuit Court on the charge o: looting the Grecntown Bank--the depositors who lost their good money will be on band to see fair play. The Republican candidu for Governor of Iowa, a lawyer by rofeesion, was disbarred from prnetice in the United States pension ollice because of his corrupt practices charged and proven against him The Republican State Central Commitee are considering the advisability of taking him ofl' the ticket.

Wheat is still selling at McKin y Bill prices—the alleged protection for the farmer was the meanest kind of a confidence game. In view of the drubb ng that McKinley is to receive at the polls the Democrats of Ohio wisely concluded to open their campaign in Licking county The single, or gold standard men, were astonished and astounded when Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, made a speech favoring the silver dollar of the dads, a h w days ago. It seems the so-called silver cranks do not all live in the West and South.

Congress should proceed to knock the McKinley Bill b., w., and c. with out delay. The people emphasized their demand for immediate action at the election held last November. An enormous majority asserted that tax ation should be for revenue and not to fill the purses of the protected barons.

Tax luxuries first and most heavily, i good Democratic doctrine. We an imagine no greater luxury than a trge income, hence incomes should e taxed in proportion to their length, breadth and thickness.” A ood, healthy,, stalwart tax on peratnes, diamonds, wines and liquors, tc., would be pleasing to the people nd would not bear heavily upon the

During the recent financial un pleasantness, when some banks were under suspicion, the cashier posted the following notice for the information of its customers: “This bank has not busted; it owes the people $36,000 and the people owe it $55,000 The people are busted; when they pay we’ll pay.” The Oates bill repealing the 10 per cent, tax on State bank circulation is finding favor with the House Committee on Banking and Currency. The bill provides for Federal supervision, with a limitation of what has been declared by the courts to be a lawful Federal tax. One clause declares the aggregate amount of State bank issues shall not exceed $5 per capita of the population of the State. Last summer McKinley condemned President Cleveland because he did not call Congress together to repeal the Sherman law, vowing that it was the cause of the panic. Now he is making speeches in Ohio, and his chief claim is that the recent panic was caused by the fear that the Democratic Con gross would reform and reduce tarifl' taxation by knocking out the McKinley bill. There seems to be a conflict of opinion between McKinley now and McKinley then.

masses.

In Kansas the new Know-Nothing gauizatiou, yelept the A. P. A , is a received with open arms and a arty welcome ; on the contrary, it is tracized by the State officials. The torney General of the State, to lorn the question was submitted, is handed down h decision holding at a charter may not legally be anted to the American Protective ssociation. The Secretary of State 11 act in accordance with the decisii and refuse the charter, and the dy remedy of the applicants, as the ltorney General suggests, is by manimus proceedings in the Supreme jurt.

We know of no class of people who are ill-pleased with the return of prosperity and the disappearance of the late financial unpleasantness save a limited number of small-fry Republican politicians. These fellows would | hail with joy Republican victory, e’en though it could be obtained only through the bankruptcy of the whole people; e’en though it brought to beggary and want, to desolation and despair nine-tenths of our people. The great trouble with these G. O R. P. bigots is that the people know that the late panic was the direct result of Republican legislation, and they know, furthermore, that the relief received and expected in the future will come from Democratic legisla-

tive sources.

The signs of the times are healthy ;

there has not been a natural bank failure reported, so far as our knowledge goes, in the past six weeks, while during that time over seventy national banks that had suspended have resumed business. In addition to the fact above noticed, it is plain to be seen that money is more plentifully in circulation than it was a month ago and business men, both in the wholesale and retail trade re-

port a more cheerful prospect There is no gainsaying the fact

that the people—by the people we mean the great mass of them—favor the double standard of coinage; gold and silver coin is what they demand. They do not intend to fall down and worship golden calf or the silver bear ;

they are anxious and willing to ren

der unto the eagle stamped on gold or silver coin the homage due to it as a legal tender currency, and use it in their business. The old humbug about having a single metal standard to be used as a measuring unit is a demonstrated delusion ; the value of gold has fluctuated as much as that of silver—neither has been absolutely unchangeable, hence neither can be justly termed an absolute and unwavering unit of measurement, save as one or the other, or both be so made by legislative enactment. The barons of finance in the East may as well drop their lance points ; their attempts to unhorse the double stand-

ard supporters are feeble and futile.

Only $1.25 for the Star-Press from now until Dec. 31,1894.

Silver coin, with the same legal tender qualities guaranteed to gold, and its continued coinage, is what the people demand The Republian claim that fear of tariff' reform made the hard times seems not to have been founded on fact, as times are improving very rapidly and business is assuming the activity desired by business men. At the close of Cleveland’s first administration there was a surplus of $10u,o00000 in the United States Treasury. The Harrison administra tion squandered it and left a large deficit to be met. The people would rejoice if that surplus was now in the treasury to pay out and thereby re duoe the tax burdens they bear.

Washington, Oct. 8.—The senate yesterday entered upon the ninth week of the present session of congress with barely a score of senators present. Senator Kyle (pop., S. D.) addressed the senate in opposition to the silver purchase repeal bill, and Senator McMillan (rep.. Mich.) made an argument in favor of the repeal. The repeal bill then went over for the day and the house bill extending the time for concluding the work of the eleventh census from December 81. 1893, to June 80, 1894, and authorizing the commissioner of labor to perforin the duties of superintendent of the census was taken

He went into a detailed analysis of the cost of these laws and road a letter from Comptroller Bohler showing that from 1877 supervisors of elections had cost $3,854,000 and deputy marshals $1,127,000. At the conclusion of Mr. Black’s speech Mr. Johnson (Ind.) took the floor in opposition. He stigmatized the bill us the climax of all that is audacious and vicious, und said it was a proposition to blot out all the laws to protect the purity of the ballot and a cold-blooded proposition to repeal all the laws making violatious of election laws Crimea To be consistent, ho said, the democrats should repeal all other laws for the punishment of crime, counterfeiting, robbery and murder. Mr. Breckinridge (dem., Ky.) followed and hurled defiance at the ludianian and said he had profound pity for a man who could make such a speech. At the conclusion of Mr. Breckinridge’s speech the house ad-

Washington, Got 2.—In the house a resolution was introduced providing'for the submission of the question of free silver coinage to a popular vote. Messrs.

Washington, Oct. 3.—In the house yesterday Mr. Henderson (la) introduced a resolution for the investigation of the sugar trust. The debate on the repeal of the uational election laws being resumed, Mr. Dinsmore (dem., Ark.) advocated its immediate repeal, and Mr. Cooper (dem., Fla.) and Mr. Chirk (dem., Mo.) also spoke against

the laws.

Washington, Oct 4. — The house without transacting any routine business resumed the consideration of the federal election repeal bill and was addressed by Mr. Northway in opposition to the measure.

The attempt of the Republicans to work up anil make useful another Know-Nothing party, known as the A. P. A., will prove a dismal and dis graceful failure. There is no good reason in policy or morals for dragging religion into politics. The talk of our Catholic fellow citizens organizing a rebellion and taking forcible possession of the government, etc , is all the veriest nonsense—there’s nothing in it but “rot." Convention of the Putnam County

S. S. Union.

The Putnam County Sunday School Union, reorganized after live years of inactivity, met in convention in this city, Wednesday, Sept. 27, in the audience room of College Avenue Church. UeleKutes were present from seven of the fourteen townships of the county, and all of our city Sunday Schools sent their be it teachers and workers; so as a representath e gathering of the Sunday School element of the county, this convention was a reasonable

success.

EVENING, 7:30. Mass Meeting addressed by Charles D. Meigs. Jr., Theme: The Door of the Scholars and How to Open It. Every speech was earnest and suggestive and everv discussion vigorous and to the oint. The enthusiasm of State Huperintenent Meigs alone ought to inspire us with zeal for another year. The committee on resolutions recommended organization in Sunday School work in general, the maintenance of our County Union; expressing also, the thanks af the convention to the citizens the pastors of the churches and especially the officers and members of College Ave. Church for their courtesy and hospitality.
