Entered at the Postoffice, Greeucastle, Ind. as second-class mail matter.

We want a Rood correspondent at each nostoflice in Putnam county. Those now actfug as correspondents will please notify us when they are out of supplies of any kind and we will forward the same to them promptly There is no mourning over the fact that Congress has adjoined. If you want all the news you can getitinthe Star-Press for only per year. Worthy of note is the fact that T. T. Moore still hangs on to those railroad passes—he places a high value upon them. The next Republican nominee for President will be Alliso'’, of Iowa Reed, McKinley, Harrison, et al., may as well stand from under. The legislative apportionment bill passed by the Republicans, was vetoed by Governor Matthews, on Monday, because it is plainly unconstitutional, but the House immediately passed it over the veto. The silver coinage question goes to the front. The Michigan Democratic State Convention held last week, adopted as a portion of the State platform, a resolution favoring the coinage of silver on equal terms with gold. _ At the meeting of the National Council of Women, recently held in Washington City, a day was spent in a fierce and unaminous war against corsets, and yet a lady acquaintance informs us, about every delegate to the Council wore a corset with the full number of bones and steels set therein.

We note with pleasure that Hon. John B. Stoll still carries that level head which has always been attribu ted to him by those who best knew him—the announcement that he Would allow his name to be used in connection with the Democratic nomiuotion for Governor in R9G is

promptly denied by him.

The Indiana Legislature’s days of legislation are over for the present session. The promises and pledges have not been made good. The Democratic election law, school hook law, tax law, etc., are left just as the Democrats passed them—they have not been modified—yet the Republicans promised to do these things. About the only acts of the legislature worthy of commendation are the passage of the law taxing greenbacks and the knocking out of T. T. Moore’s

speakership aspirations.

The estate of Ex-Gov. Gray is not a large one, according to the information given out by his son, Byard, who was at the State Department, in Washington City, a few days ago in consultation with Secretary Gresham and Senator Ransom, the new Mexi can Minister. The Mexican Minister is paid $17,500 in gold, which is sent to him in Mexico. It is worth to him there about $25,0C0. The late Minister Gray lived nicely in Mexico on about $7,7)00 Mexican silver, which enabled him to save fully $15 000 per annum. When Gov. Gray went to Mexico he was slightly eni barmssed financially, but bis huge salary there recuperated his fortune and he leave* a nice competence tu his family. He was an economical man, but his political life cost him a great deal more money than he made, as the offices he held up to the time lie went to Mexico ]>aid smali salaries. While in Washington last month, two weeks previous to his death, lie remarked. “I have been in politics for thirty years and I am now making some money for the first time. I'olitics has cost me ten dollars where 1 have made one. But if I live out my term at Mexico I will have a comfor table competence to fall back on in my old age. A man, however, can make more money in most anything else than politics, especially if lie throws into it as much energy and industry as be does in political work.’ On Saturday a surprise was < jected into the political world by the publi cation of an address, signed by* a portion of the Democratic Senators and Representatives of fifteen States, addressed ‘‘To the Democrats of the

United States,’’ as follows:

“We believe that the establishment of gold

as the only monetary standard, and the elimination of silver as a full legal tender money will increase the purchasing power of each dollar, add to the burden of all debts, decrease the market value of all othei for ms of property, continue and intensify business deprebsion, and finally reduce the majority of the people to financial bondage.

“We believe that no party can hope for en-

during success in the United States so long as it advocates a single-gold standard, and that the advocacy of such a financial policy would be injurious, especially to a party, which, like the Democratic party, derives its voting strength from those who may without repoarch be called the common people; and we point to the ovarwhelming defeat of the party in 1894, to the opposition aroused by the veto of the Seigniorage Bill and to the still more unanimous protest against the issue of gold bonds as proof that the Democratic party can not be brought to the

support of the gold standard policy. “We believe that the money question will

be the paramount issue in 1896, and wPl so remain until it is settled by the intelligence

and patriotism of the American voters. “We believe that a la-ge majority of the

Democrats of the United States favor bimetallism and realize that it can only be secured by the restoration of the free aud unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio, ami we assert that the majority has aud should exert the right to control the policy of the party and retain the party ‘ name. i

“ We believe that it is the duty of the ma-

jority, aud within their power, to take charge of the party organization and make the Democratic party an effective instrument in the accomplishment of needed reforms. It is not necessary that Democrats should surrender their convictions on other questions in order to take an active part in the settlement of the question which at this

time surpasses all others iu importance. “ We believe that the rank and file of the

party should at once assert themselves in the Democratic party and place it on record in favor of .the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, as such coi nage existed prior to 1873 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nations, such gold and silver coin to be a full legal tender for all debats public and private.

“We urge all Democrats who favor the

financial policy above set forth to associate themselves together and impress their views

organisation: we urge all arinOny with the above finan-

How the Business Mtmttlon Appears to Dun ami Uradstreet. New York, March 2.—R. G. Dun & Co.> weekly review ol trade say’s: “No gold goes out, though sterling exchange has risen close to the exporting point, and it does not yet appear that the syndicate has made any effort to control the exchange market. The stock market waits abjectly for London. and foreigners show thus far more disposition to sell than to buy. Withdrawals of gold by redemption of legal tenders have not ceased, but since the closing of the syndicate contract have averaged about 1120,000 per day. There Is no essential change in the money market, though rates are somewhat higher. Agricultural products are a shade higher, but without any reason which looks to future operations. More people are idle In the great industries than were idle last week but not for reasons which distinctly af-

fect the future

“The Industries make very slow gains where they make any Nothing now can be said of boots and shoes for the market Is still unsettled by the controversy about prices. New orders are scanty and the main reason is that jobbers have on the whole large stocks on hand, and are not now anxious to increase them at higher prices. The demand for Cotton goods Is on the whole decidedly dlsap-

The failures for three weeks of February have shown liabilities amounting to 18.523,028 against fl 1.420.418 for the same weeks last year in manufacturing 567.050 against 045.847 last year, and In trading (6,260.330 against 16.281,693 last year Failures for the week have been 280 In the United States against 261 last year and In Canada 34 against 42 last year ” Bradstreet's says: • While the course of general trade during the first two months of the current year has been disappointing, February ends and March begins with tangible, though not us yet satlsfaclory, signs of Improvement. It is encouraging to note that gains are reported in the volume of trade at almost every southern city, notwithstanding advices from northern cities whose jobbers supply southern and southwestern markets, that low prices for products had curtailed purchasing ability at the south and southwest. Among larger eastern business centers no general evidences of improvement are reported except a larger volume of trade In staple lines at Pittsburgh, together with better demand in the iron and steel trades. “At the west there Is lesa encouragement, improvement being reported only from Louisville, Chicago. St. Louis and St. Paul. Milder weather h is not favored the business situation at the northwest. Stocks of general merchandise throughout the central aud southwest are small and the number of buyers from those regions at Chicago is increased. Like reports are received from St. Louis, where orders for spring goods are of fair volume, although buying continues conservative, competition inducing frequent concessions In price. General trade has preserved only a moderate volume at Cleveland. Kansas City. Omaha. Milwaukee, Duluth and Minneapol.a, where collections are fair only and the mild weather is unseason-

able. “

Ketarns from the Vote for Municipal Officers Show Mixed Kecults. Dks Moines, la., March 5.—Municipal elections were held throughout Iowa Monday, except in Des Moines. Davenport, Keokuk and a few other cities organized under special charters. In few of the cities and towns were party lines drawn “citizens’ tickets” against the tickets of the party in power being the rule. The results so far as received show mixed results. The only democratic gains are in Iowa City and Nigourney. Most of the cities went republican by the usual majorities, except for the election of “citizens” in some cases.
