Let us have that canning establish ment and the stove foundry also— they are both desirable and both will add to the prosperity of the county. We do not believe that an increase of the tax on spirits and playing cards would be unpopular with the people—they are not necessities, and an increase of taxation thereon would be a popular mode of raising revenue.

Here’s to you, Postmaster Neff. A Democratic postmaster in Greencastle is a pleasing reality. The croakers and calamity howlers do not seem to be pleased over the fact that a new era of prosperity has set in. There were fewer business failures in January, 1894, under the Democratic Administration than there were in January, 1893, under the Republican administration. Will Re publican newspapers attribute this to the possible passage of the Wilson
Bill?
The death angel has visited the home of Hon. E. W. Callis, editor of the Martinsville Gazette, and taken his wife, the faithful companion of many years. Mrs. Callis was in the 65th year of her age. The sincere sympathy of all friends is tendered to Mr. Callis. Sugar and ijuinine relieved of t e burden of a protective tariff have proved beneficial to the people and go to show that the tariff is a tax and that the people pay it. Cut off tariff taxation on other necessaries of life and the people will receive proportionate benefits. Take hold while the opportunity offers—only $1 25 will pay a year’s subscription for both the Star-Press and the Farm and Fireside, and each subscriber is given a portfolio containing 50 beautiful photogravures of the World's Fair free. Add your name to the list already sent in. The divorce business goes right along, even if other business has been lame and halting. At Stottsburg, Ind.,one Kate Johnson has been divorced from her husband because she would not take in washing to feed and clothe him ; he even refused to carry the wash water and keep up the lire for ironing. The review of the business situa tion made by the mercantile agencies continues most encouraging. Industorial establishments in operation are steadily increasing in number, and at New York, Chicago and some other cities the improvement in trade is showing itself in an increased volume of commercial paper offered at the banks. One of the farmers who sees things as they are tersely expressed himself as follows; Wheat fell from $1 a bushel to 60 cents during Harrison’s administration. Since then it has fallen 5 cents more. When Republicans explain to me why it fell-lOcents in four years I will tell them why ii has fallen 5 or 10 cents during the past nine months.” In these latter days we do not hear Republicans talking about the “home market” as of yore. The foreign demand for pork has put up the price of hogs, hut there being no loreign de mand for wheat, the “home market’ has caused a slump in the price of grain, and the McKinley protection don’t spring the price, as was promised and predicted. Editorial Meeting. The Democratic Editorial Association of Indiana met at the Hendricks Club Rooms, on Friday, and held an interesting meeting.

Senator Gray (dem., Del.) resumed argument in support of the president’s policy, but in the course of his remarks said that the administration had ceased its efforts in behalf of the dethroned monarch, and concluded as follows: “It seems to me more than wicked and cruel that we do not declare In an emphatic manner that we do not propose to Interfere with the government Ana if our minister In any way leads the people of that country to believe that we are still disposed to carry out the suggestions of the president to restore the status quo he ought to be withdrawn summarily. He ought to know enough of public opinion in this country to know that the moment the president submitted this question to congress there was no possibility that the provisional government would be destroyed anu the queen restored to power." The House. Washington, Feb. 9.—The deadlock on Mr. Bland’s silver seigniorage bill was broken after four hours of continuous filibustering in the house Thursday, when, by a vote of 170 to 4, the house carried Mr. Bland's motion to go into committee of the whole for consideration of his bill.

T. Webster. Deceased was a bright and beautiful girl of thirteen summers. She was stricken down with lung fever and for more than a week witii gentleness, patience and submission she awaited the command of her Master and went “home” to join the dear mother who had gone before. The father, who is an engineer in Texas and whom she so fondly wished to see, did not get to her bedside until two hours after her short life had passed. She leaves a father, two brothers and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn her demise. The funeral services were held in the Uaiversalist Church, conducted by Rev. Win. Harshbarger, of Ladoga. The pallbearers—her teacher and five schoolmates—laid her body to rest in BlakeshurgCemetery. The bereaved family has the sympathy of a host of friends. A precious one from us is gone, No more her voice we'li hear; In study hours, in play and fun We’ll miss our schoolmate dear.

Obituary. Mary Ann Evans, daughter of Wm. ami Mary Evans, was born in Jefferson county, Tenn., Sept. 4, 1822; died Feb. 4, 1894, aged 71 years and 5 months. She moved to this State about tile year 1830; was married to her surviving companion, Flower Swift, Feb. 25, 1840, and to them were born six children—three sons and three daughters. One son and one daughter died in their infanev; the other four are present to-day. Mother Swift united with the Presbyterian Church Jan. 20, 1839, and being about to remove to Iowa was dismissed by letter June 18, 1H42. She lived but little over a year in Iowa, when she returned to this county, and has lived here continuously ever since. In 1844 she joined the M. E. Church, and remained a member of that church until death. To say that she w as a Christian, a true follower of Christ, is but to tell what every one knows who was acquainted with her. Her Chriwtlike disposition was manifested at home and abroad every day in the week. No kinder mother and wife ever lived than Mother Swift. No sacrifice within her power was too great for her to make if it would give pleasure to her children or husband. As a neighbor she was all that the word implies, as her many act* of kindness and words of love and good cheer for more than (iffy years in this neighborhood will testify. She was taken violently ill on the 23d nit., and her vocal organs were partially paralyzed—so much so, indeed. that she could scarcely utter a word—but we did not have to ask her if she was ready to go, for she had told us tins so often in life. Ask Mother Swift if she was ready to die! No! No! For 55 years she had walked before us a meek, humble, trusting Christian, and who can doubt that she was what she professed. You could read it in her neighborly acts of kindness, in her every-day life in her family, in tier intercourse with the world; in flip very grip of her hand, and expression of countenance all told that Mother Swift was a saint on earth. Aud to the bereaved sons and daughters who mourn their sainted mother's demise, do not look beneath the cold, cold ground for mother, but hy an eye or nntli remove the veil that separates us from tin* heavenly mansions and see her with her robes washed and made white in the blood of the lamb, and looking down to us saving. “Come hither. Aud especially to the daughter whose privilege it was to remain constantly at her mothers bedside, do not grieve, but rejoice that her sufferings are over and you have a mother ip heaven. A Friknd.
