Railroads pay into our county treasury over $25,000 annually, under the new Democratic tax law— the taxpayers do not agree with the Rjpuhlicans, who asset t in their platform that it is an “infamous” law. In these days of Building Associations there is no need of long being without a home of your own. The requisite determination on your part, and the help of the building association will bring about the desired result in due time. Heed the fact, also, that the home owner is, as a rule, most deeply interested in the welfare of bis neighborhood and its improvement and development, and is a permanent, not a m’gratory citizen. By all means, set your stakes to own your own home, if you do not do so now.
There is a rumor going the rounds that the Republican State Central Committee is going to be called together to pull that plank out of their platform which declares that the new tax law of Indiana is “infamous.’’ Democrats “point with pride” to the fact that they originated, introduced into the Legislature, and passed the three great reform measures that have proved so great a blessing to the people of this State. They are the new school book law, the new election law, and the new tax law. As a matter ol fact, however, the Democratic party of Indiana is responsible for about all the best legislation found upon our statute books ; the Republicans cannot point with pride to a single Indiana law originated and enacted by them that has proven to be a general blessing to the people of the State morally or tinancially. The silver question is talked and discussed more and more, as the days go by ; as a live issue it is decidedly alive and kicking for recognition and settlement. The masses of the Democratic party demand the remonetization and coinage of the dollar of the dads. The ratio between gold and silver is not of vital importance now, any more than it has been in the past. For eighty years prior to the demonetization of silver in 187.”, there was no fixed and immovable ratio between the coinage of gold and silver—the ratio was changed but the gold and silver dollars continued to have the same purchasing power not withstanding these changes. The coinage of gold and silver in the I'nited States began in 1794—one hundred years ago. The law fixed the ratio at 15 to 1. The silver dollar contained till grains of standard metal, or 871 2o grains of pure metal.
The calamity howlers of the Republican party continue to put iu full time decrying the evils that the Republican party is wholly and solely responsible for. Asa matter of fact
every well-posted and right-thinking The gold dollar weighed 2/grains and
held 24 75 grains of pure metal. In 1834, after the Jackson forces determined to substitute a specie basis in the place of the uncertain paper currency which had been in circulation

I.v a recent interview Congressman TtffsnVy, of Missouri, says: “It would be better to adjourn and appeal o”ce more to the people than stultify the party by a repudiation of our pledges made at Chicago; but if the Tariff Bill is to pass, then, for God’s sake, let’s do it at once, without further dilly-dallying, so that the business interests of the country may know what to expect and can arrange their affairs accordingly. There is no possible excuse for delay. If the President would only speak out and denounce the ‘concession amendments’ and call the Senate’s attention to the declarations contained in the Chicago platform, it would have a wholesome effect. The people are as earnest now for tariff reform as they were in IS'.KI and 1892, when they swept the Republicans from power. The time has come for us to turn on the search-light and expose to the country the Benedict Arnolds. It was only after bard work that we killed Randallism in the House, and we can also kill it in the Senate ; but to do so we must again appeal to the people.” Roachdale.

concluded that a change was necess ary. The ratio of Hi to 1 was established. The gold dollar thereafter contained 23 20 grains of pure metal until 1837, when it was fixed at 23.22 grains. The gross weight of the sildollar was reduced in 1837 to 412.5 grains, though the pure contents remained unchanged.

IN A XlOll's POWER.
McKeesport, Pa., Juneis.—Never has this city witnessed such scenes of defiance of law and the inability of the authorities to cope with the law-break-ers as are in progress here. At this hour the strikers are practically in command of the situation. The trouble grew out of the strike at the National tube works, and the strikers have outwitted the police, broken into the mill yards and are making systematic tours of the works and their surroundings. The plant resumed in two departments Tuesday and about twenty-five men went to work. The news quickly spread and by noon a mob of nearly 10,000 had assembled outside the gates awaiting the appearance of the workmen. Most of the men remained inside, but a few attempted to go to their homes and were caught by the mob and terribly beaten. They were finally rescued, however, by the police and

A Train llurmMt.
Terre Haute, Ind., June 6.—Early Tuesday morning the militia in the Sullivan county mining district learned they had been outwitted and that five cars of coal had been stolen from them by strategy. The miners had placed a decoy of twenty-five men on the track and, lured to that apparent scene of trouble, the militiamen massed their forces. Then the striking miners captured the five cars of coal. Early in the morning the captured coal was burned on a branch road to the Alum Cave coal mine. The militia had an accession of 300 to their ranks by daylight and at 10 o'clock they started on a special train down the Alum Cave branch. The militia spent tlie day in the ravines and arrested perhaps a dozen men, some of whom were strikers and some of whom were not. The miners laughed at the militia. The five cars of coal were burned by the time the troops arrived. There were no strikers in sight for the militia to arrest. Then the soldiers formed a circle to scour the country. They brought in a few men, but none were the ones they hoped for.
No One Was Killed.
Sullivan, Ind., June 0.—The report of a night attack by strikers upon the militia at Shelburn, in which four strikers were said to have been killed,

Superseded the Sheriff. Farmehsbfrg, Ind., June 0.—Sheriff Mills is no longer in charge. Judge Briggs has placed the sheriff's affairs in the hands of George Briggs and a deputy named Willis. This was done because Sheriff Mills was lukewarm in enforcing his authority and had incurred the displeasure of the militia
officers.
