The Democrat, of Petersburg, Ills., issued a souvenir supplement at Christmas, that is creditable in every respect—well designed, handsomely printed, useful, and unique. Report is that Hon. Hilbert Shauklin has determined to withdraw Irom the race for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and devote his entire attention to the newspaper busi-

ness.

It is announced that a mass convention of the Democracy of Putnam county will be held in this city, on Saturday, Feb. 112,1S90, to reorganize for the campaign of 1890, set a time for the primary election, and transact j other business.

At the Democratic Dislrict Convention, held at Terre Haute, on Wednesday, there was a good attendance, and the best of feeling prevailed. Frank Horner, of Clay county, was chosen ns the Central i Committeeman for this congressional

district.

The tariti' measure passed by the Republicans of the House, is a Ueed measure, calculated to make the monopolists and tariff barons friends of Reed in his presidential aspirations. He was forced to sh j\v his hand in order to head off the threatened stain-; pede of eastern manufacturers to McKinley.

The Republican inakeshilt tariff and bond bills will never become law if they should pass the Semite the President would veto them. The holidays are over—now let's get down to business and make 1890 a year long to be pleasantly remembered because of its business successes.

Some of the Eastern Democratic newspapers are talking about Governor Matthews as a candidate for Vice President—they should not labor too long or too industriously in this lin2; they may as well understand right now that the Democrats of Indiana are not in the Vice Presidential business, so far as Governor Matthews is concerned—they favor hfs nomination for President because be is honest and able, and because be is the strongest man named for the place by

the Democratic party.

Indiana occasionally comes to the front with a legal decision that is peculiar. At Huntington, Ind., a justice of the peace heard the evidence in a case in which a landlord was accused of assault and battery, the complainant being the w ife of one ' of his tenants. In deciding the case the 'squire held that a man who tickled the wife of his tenant under the arm, to see if she was ticklish, was not guilty of assault and batItery, it not being demonstrated in (evidence that the tickling was done lin a “rude and angry manner.”

lation, is responsible for the present unsatisfactory condition of the government’s finances, and they should rightfully bear all the odium attached

thereto.

The penal institutions of Indiana have gotten into bad shape by reason of Republican management. Both the Northern am. Southern penitentiaries have been mi.iiing into debt for months, and have now about $.10,000 in debts piled up against them, over and above the appropriations

The Republican leaders of Indiana have been much worried over the fact that two millionaires—McKeen and Fairbanks—were being urged by their friends for United States Senator in 1897. The situation was assuming the proportions of a Kilkenny cat fight, in which not only the candi dates, hut also the Republican party, were being worsted, and a short, peaceable and profitable way out of the dilemma was eagerly sought. It 's now announced that a deal has

made for their support, and the opin- been made whereby Riley McKeen is ion is that this indebtedness wul! go to be given the Republican race for on increasing indefinitely. No com Governor, and Fairbanks is to have a meat is necessary save possibly call-1 clear track for Senator, but will the ing attention to the fact that under deal go through?

tion, who are not parties to this deal?

under the present Republican control '

they seem to be run as private snaps, for the benefit of Republican officials, and to allow Republicans a ricli rake-

off.

The indications are that a lively muss will he stirred up over this matter before nominations are made for Governor and Senator by the Republicans.

The Star-Press and Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer f.-r only $i.;5ti a year —subscribe m-w. The Finance Committee of the 1 S. Senate Inis had I* fore it lie lieptlhlleall bond bill pass, o tiy the House, uuil has reported u '■ule.iitun for it to the Senate. This pnlwtium provides for the free coinage of silver, for the coinage of the seigi iornge in the Treasury and makes it optional with the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem greenbtu ks and Treasurj notes in either gold or silver. This seems to indicate tint hi metal I bin still lives, and tnat there is still be lief in the righteousness of silver coinage. _ In Kin x county, Indiana, sajs a special, their lives a man named John G. Bailey, who was fortneily recorder of that county. He is now stricken with paralysis, and no hope is givm for bis recovery. In fact, his death is expected at any moment. He is a pronounced it.ftdel. Some time ago be purchased his coffin and had a h indsome monument made to mark his grave. Yesterday lie required the maker to pass his bouse with the monument that he might see it preparatory to having it placed above his clay. It is understood that his last will and testament provides that lotX) shall be paid to Robert G. Inger soli, conditioned that the latter shall deliver an oration over his remains. In regard to the views of Govern' r Miijthews on public aflairs, a special from Indianapolis says: During the last few days r» presentatives of some of the farmers’ organizations in this state have called on Governor Matthews to loam, if possible, what his views are on the money question. Said one of the men who sougtit his views: ‘Tiie governor said positively that he would not accept the nomination on a gold standard platform. He would be a candidate on the platform of 189:1, which lie thinks is all right if it is construed from a western standpoint. He believes that President Cleveland has construed it fsotn an eastern standpoint, a t:d has not given the West the thought this great producing section of the country deserves. I understand tlmt in due time the governor will set forth his views at length. He wants the party to understand his position befoie support is pledged to him.” That money is the root of some evil is fully demonstrated by aspecia! dispatch from Decatur, Ind., which gives the following particulars of the rapid downward race of three brothers w ho inherited wealth. Twenty years ago J. II. Evans, a wealthy citizen, was killed by a railroad train. He be queathed $10,C <| 9 to each of his three infant sons, John, Dave and Samuel The money was placed to their credit in the bank. It, of course, bore large interest, and six years ago, when John, the eldest, obtained his money it had more than doubled itself. He bought a circus and spent bis money drinking and gambling in less than a year Dave also spent his fortune in a very short time. About three weeks ago, Samuel, the youngest, became of age, and his large fortune was placed to his credit at the bank, by his guardian, Hon. David Sludehaker. He immediately began a spree that has been unparalleled in the history of this county. He bought expensive clothes, jewelry and diamonds for himself and liis many supposed friends Fie and his followers were fined before his honor, the mayor, on an average of once a elay. Ilis money, which would last an ordinary person a life time, lias been spent in precisely fifteen days. To-day Samuel Evans is broke All his fortune has been spent, his clothes pawned and his friends have deserted him. He is a complete wreck, and is under bond to appear i' the January term of court on a charge of forging liis uncle’s name to a note of $900. The evidence is conclusive and the penitentiary is staring him in the face. Barnard.

FIRST STATE OFFICERS. They Are Only Inaugurated at the Tabernacle In Salt Lake City. Salt Luke City, L’tnli, Jan. 7.—With Folemn and iinprcKsive exercises the first state officers of Utah were formally innuguirnted yesterday. The now offn ers are: (lovernor—Hebcr M. Wells. Secretary of stiite—James T. Hammond State treasurer—Janies Chlpmnn. Attorney-general—A. C. Bishop. State auditor—Morgan Richards, Jr. Superintendent of public Instruction—Dr John K I’urk. Supix-me court Jigigea—Charles S. Zane, J. \V. Hurtth and James A. Muter. The oath of office was administered to the governor and slate officers by ( liief Justice Zane, of the supreme court of t.hestate. Gov. Wells, in his address, saiil: "What better evidence of the entire sincerity of all the people In their present convictions could be given than that Chief Justice Zane, who In the past, acting under a conscientious regard for duly, has sentenced hundreds of Mormons to the penitentiary, now sits upon this platform as the honored choice of the electors of Utah for the highest Judicial olflee In the state, and that a Mormon born and reared should be delivering from 'he same platform this address as the governor of Utah." Gov. Wells expressed the opinion that the United States was to be congratulated as v eil as the state of Utah. Utah offers the country, as a recompense for statehood. tho gold and silver and lead and topper and Iron ol her mountains, the luxurious soil of her valleys, a matchless lifesaving clime, a most etllclent public school system, and the gratitude of a happy, homogeneous, patriotic people. She offerhomes to settlers. Investments to capitalists. work to laborers, health to Invalids, attractiveness to i leasure seekers, opportunity to fortune hunters. Utah to-day stretches forth her arms and beckons to the densely peopled districts of the cast to t ome out and share her glories. He concluded as follows: "We are now endowed with self-govern-ment In state and local affairs. With a deep reuse of gratitude we cherish these great prlvllei es. Our patriotism must never falter. Our allegiance to the national government will ever remain supreme. Teach our sons and daughters that patriotic love of country perpetuates liberty. Through the vicissitudes of time our strength for good must and will be felt. If ever clouds of war hover over the land, Utah's sons will be found In the vanguard, defending national rights and honor. Down the stream of time, through aU ages, may Utah be one of '.he brlgluesl stars in that glorious constellation." The governor then gave an exhaustive review of the financial and ihdustrial condition of the state. The ceremonies closed with patriotic musio.
