HERE’S AN INNOVATION A Fourth of July Celebration Managed Solely by Ladies Lady Speakers! Lady Readers! Lady Officials! The ladies of Greencastle a large number of them, filled to overflowing with enthusiasm, met at the Mayor’s office on last Saturday night, and determined to arrange for and carry to successful consummation a grand Fourth of July celebration in this city. Their earnestness, energy and determination in so patriotic and noble a cause is worthy all commendation, especially as it is an innovation without precedent, so far as we are informed, and demonstrates that the ladies of Greencastle are not only abreast, but really ahead of the
times.
The meeting was organized by selecting Airs. Alpheus Birch for Chairman, and Alias Josephine Donnohue for Secretary. A number of ladies expressed their ideas in regard to the subject in hand, and the following committees were appointed, the Chairman of eacii committee being given power to add to their numbers if deemed necessary or ad-
visable.
Committee on Arrangements Mrs. J. P. Layne and Miss Emma Jones. Committee on Program Mrs. J. K. Langdon, Mrs. T. C. Hammond, Alias Emma Jones. Committee on Music Miss Kate Hammond, Alisa Stella Grubb, Airs. Carrie Hays, Airs. Jas. B. Tucker. Soliciting Committee Airs. Robt. Allen, Mrs. Jas. Nutt, Miss Alaggie Gilmore. The exercises will be held at West College Campus, and the entire program is to be rendered by ladies addresses by ladies, reading Declaration of Independence by lady, music by ladies, a lady will preside, etc., the men will take back seats to look on and listen. An additional program of amusements will also be arranged, and the affair promises to be of the most novel and successful character. The people are all urgently invited to come and have a good time. “Come as the waves come when navies are stranded, Come ss the winds come when forests are
rended.’’
Bring your baskets well filled, and the wives and little ones, that they may have a day of real enjoyment.

Among the relatives and friends present were Alisses Mary ami Emma Elmore, Lizzie Hadly and Will Elmore, of Mooresville, and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hunt and Aliss Sarah Marshall of Indianapolis. The bridal couple left at once for Indianapolis, where they will bo at home to their friends on the corner of Broad-

The form of the order is very simple, and in some respects resembles the postal note. On the left hand side, running down in column form, is in figures the amounts for which any order can be drawn. The amount for which the order is made out is cut out in the left hand column, making both correspond. The advice coupon att.ached to the order is similarly made out and detached, and tins is t lie only feature in which the new postoffice order differs from the express money order. Applications for postofflee money orders arc to be made in the usual way, under the same conditions, with the exception that there is a material reduction in the fees, as follows: On any amount up to $2.50 the charge is 3 cents; $2.50 to $5, 5 cents; $5 to $10, 8 cents; $10 to $20, 10 cents; $20 to ?3n, 12 cents; $30 to $10, 15 cents; $10 to $50, 18 cents; $50 to $00, 20 cents; $00 to $75, 25 cents; $75 to $100, 30 cents.

The Democratic Record. A Republican newspaper is circulating a pamphlet entitled “What Congress Has Done.” It consists entirely of blank pages. The poor little joke is intended to BU BB 08 t Democratic imbecility, and to intimate that nothing has been accomplished by a Democratic Congress and Administration during the fifteen months since the party came into full control of the Government for the first time in more than thirty
years.
Tlie suggestion is utterly false. The intimation could only have come from gross ignorance or reckless mendacity. As a matter of fact, Democratic legislation and administration during this brief period have been unusually fruitful of lasting results and phenomenally free from those mistakes in legislation to whicli a reform party is always liable when it succeeds to power after a prolonged period of blundering, plundering and miscellaneous misrule. If nothing else had been done, the repeal of the Force bill would be a record sufficient for a year and a quarter of work. A Democratic Congress has stricken from the statute book the law which obtruded the Federal power into State elections; the law which gave to John I. Davenport and his kind authority to imprison citizens, intimidate voters and manufacture majorities at so much a head. It has put an end forever to the idea of “a bayonet behind every ballot.” It has taken off the hand of irresponsible Federal power from State elections. It has made elections free and restored to tho people the right to say for themselves how and by whom they shall be repre-
sented.
The Democratic House of Representatives has passed a genuine, conservative and conspicuously wise tariil bill, which, if made a law, as it may yet be, would relieve tho people of their most oppressive burdens, while subjecting no industry in tlie country to any possible injury or inconvenience. This measure was at once the most scientific and the most just tariff bill that has been passed or oven considered by any Congress for thirty
years past.
The measure has been greatly marred and perverted in the Senate because the Democratic majority in the upper house is a narrow one and is composed in part of men who, while professing to be Democrats, are | in fact not in sympathy with the purposes of Democracy and aro not reluctant to betray them. But the end is not yet. It is not yet certain that ihe Wilson bill will not be passed in its integrity by the Senate, in lieu of the Gorman Surrender bill, and it is still more uncertain that the really Democratic House will consent to the “Conservative” changes made in tlie bill for the purpose of placating the Republican and protectionist constituents of Senators who pose as Democrats but stand firmly for Republican doctrines and policies. A Democratic Administration has put an end to jingoism. The scheme to annex Hawaii, with which tho Harrison Administration sought to glorify its last hours, has been mib-

Deafness Cannot Bo Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an intlamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh i that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

sense and rejected as unwise and unAmerican. Tho fillibusters with whom tlie outgoing administration had been so eager for an alliance were promptly repudiated by the Democratic administration, and ti e friendly foreign land has been left, as every country should be, to work out its destiny for itself. Some mistakes were made in this business, but they were not irreparable and they have been repaired. At the worst they did not saddle tho country with the embarrassment of a foreign pwtectorate on the one hand or witbT >e burden of a mongrel, Kanaka, ^panese and Polynesian State on the
other.
And the Democratic administration has sturdily upheld tho dignity and tlie rights of the republic wherever these have been menaced. Thu record at Rio is one of honor. That made at Bluefield is not less creditable. To Americans generally the present efforts of the administration to disentangle the Government from tlie unnatural alliance with England and Germany for the “protection” of Samoa is not less gratifying. There was never anything more flagrantly in violation of American tradition than that invasion of a helpless foreign people's independence in "entangling allince” with two fillibustering European powers, and if the present administration succeeds in undoing the wrong it will have done the country a great and lasting ser-
vice.
It is not upon blank pages that the record of Democratic achievements during tho last fifteen months is u^itten, but upon pages crowed with tho story of lasting good accomplished.— iNew York World

Carlisle, nor both of them, aided by all the panic makers of New York, can secure the passage of a law which will authorize them to issue a single bond payable in gold. Internal revenue taxes and duties upon imports are all payable in silver or in silver certificates. None are payable in gold. Nobody owes the Government any gold. There is no method by
most un just form of Socialism. The income tax is a Democratic measure intended in some degree to take tho place of this unjust, unequal class
legislation.
Another cry raised against the income tax is that it is inquisitorial. This is scarcely less idotic than the other. Under an income tax law' the Government asks every man what
