We want a Rood correspondent at each postofflee in Putnam county. Those nowactiur as correspondents will please notify us when they are out of supplies of any kind and we will forward the same to them promptly. Attention Candidates. All candidates for county offices, will meet in the court room, city of Greencastle, one p. m., Saturday, Jan. 20 prompt. The purpose of the meeting is to arrange names of candidates on the official ballot to be prepared by the county committee. By order of the committee, Dan A. Hurst, Frank D. Adkr. Sec. Chairman. The tariff' discussion is on in Con- i gress, and the indications are that no | time is to be wasted in reaching a vote. The hard times are the direct result of thirty years of Republican supremecy and unwise legislation, whereby a small wealthy class was created at the expense of the masses. Democrats should remember the trite saying: “In union there is strength.” This is no time for internal strife or factional bickerings. They give aid and comfort only to the

opposition.

The wise business man pushes his business by advertising and in every other legitimate way during dull seasons—it is unwise to sit down and make no effort when trade is slack—the advertiser catches the business. The Protection Barons arc raising money and working the petition racket for all its worth in their endeavors to defeat the Wilson bill. The campaign of education is still on, however, and the people are reminded that the tariff" is a tax. Let the House get right down to business, and pass the tariff’bill without any unnecessary delay. Every day is precious viewed from all sensible standpoints. The sooner the bill becomes law the sooner Republican calamity howling will cease. The delegates from the different counties in this Congressional District met at Martinsville, on Monday last, and selected Ex-Senator W. C. Duncan of Columbus as a member of the democratic state central committee The counties were ail represented and a genuine good time was had. The wholesale grocers of this State have organized an association for the purpose of preventing the practice oi (Kilting prices in the sale of sugar to retail dealers, says a Terre Haute special. Now it is time for the retail dealers to organize and refuse to buy their goods from Indiana wholesalers. “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.’’ The idea of Governor Matthews in regard to an income tax is worthy the man, and will meet with general indorsement from Democrats. He says: “I am in favor of an income tax on all incomes of, and in excess of, $5,0D0. It is a tax that could be so adjusted that it would not place a heavy burden upon those whom it would affect. There is but one objection that. T regard as having much weight, and that is the so-called inquisitorial feature of such a tax. But this is to a certain'extcnt true of all taxes. All taxes are a necessary burden on the class-of citizens or property affected by them. The law providing lor this | should be so framed that it would se-! cure honost and fair returns and pre- , vent evasion from whatever possible i cause.” It pays to advertise in the StarPa ess it has the largest circulation and is read by the best people.

The smallest of small journalism is that sort indulged in by party newspapers that complain continuously and parade before their readers the idea that there is no outlook for better times and more activity in business —such newspapers distort the facts and misstate the indications, not from ignorance but because of party subserviency; they injure the community hoping to reap a little political advantage. The Republicans of this Congressional district have turned their smart ones into the highways and byways to hunt up suitable timber to form a Congressional candidate. Elder Sweeney is playing the coquette, and while vowing he ne’er will, he will undoubtebly consent if urged. Then again Charlie Case did not wait for the searchers to appear and hunt him vp—he jumped into the race before he was asked and endeavored to forestall party action which would have been favorable to S. A. Hays, G. C. Moore or Jesse W. Wiek. He wheedled the B. T. into giving him a puff that is a curiosity in its line; it endeavors to make it appear that Case has been honing for private life ever since he came to Greencastle, and that the party has seized him by the scruff of the neck and the slack of his pants and forced him to become the head of the ticket to lead a forlorn hope to victory; the reverse ofthisistrue—he has been in office ora seeker for office ever since he first came to Greencastle, first as a school teacher, then he sought the office of Mayor, and so wonderful was his strength and leadership that he was elected by a majority of 19 in a city that had always been good for a Republican majority of from 300 to 500. Having been mayor as long as the party will have him he now bobs up as a seeker for Congressional honors. Case is gifted, bub not with talent or modesty. It is a great day for the small boy when he can whistle for himself and wear his brother’s pantaloons. Franklin Township. The Democrats of Franklin township will hold a primary election to nominate candidates for township, officers, on Saturday, Sept. 22, 1894. By order of Committee. John W. Blaydes, chairman.
