Kipcred at the post office at Hope, Indiana, as second class matter. THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1893. It’s all Democratic now. A good riddance of bad rubbish, seems about the most appropriate thing to say of the closing of this year’s legislature. The Tribune put it nicely in its issue of March 4th when it said: ‘ ‘Ring out the old, ring in the new. ” Y/e may add that the “new" will be in great luck if it shall go out four years from to-day with as much regret as the “old” of to-day is parted with.

Ax anti-liquor league has been organized in Indianapolis which is nonpartisan and undenominational. The members pledge themselves to v Me for no one who does not pledge himself to enforce the law now on the books against the liquor business. This is a step in the right direction. AVhenever this question can be taken from party politics and enforced as a moral issue we maylook for success in the temperance movement. There is one subject upon which our legislature cannot afford to bo niggardly. President Coulter, of the State University has been offered two excellent positions outside the State. It will be a serious loss to us if he shall accept either of them. And we need not be surprised should he decide to do so. It must be very trying to a man in his position to be compelled to haggle with politicians to obtain appropriations much needed* for the school under his charge. Indiana has one of the best school systems in the United States and \:e cannot be too liberal in our support of it.

The changes of executiye officers in our government is a very simple tiling notwithstanding all the pomp of parade which accompanies it. A citizen steps out from his fellows and 1 y the administering of an oath of Jew words and simple language is invested with a power which may well be envied by kings and potentates of the old world. While ho who erstwhile held that power quietly lays it aside and again becomes a private citizen with no more official authority than the meanest of his fellows. Such spectacles are not witnessed in many countries and it is a proof of the firm hold which our institutions have taken on the hearts of our people. With three great questions pressupon us for solution, the Behring sea, ihe Nicaragua canal and the Hawaiian question, it looks as if the time for decision of the destiny of America had come. We must either advance or retreat. Our fate must be that of the most advanced nation in the world, or we must shut ourselves up to ourselves and become like the Chinese a secluded and unprogressive 1 people. But this is too far from the restless spirit of the American. He will be content with nothing but I progress, and that at a good rate of j speed. Hence we have confidence j that the aunexa-Ion plans will iiot

fail, and that the other que£^j 01ls w ;p be settled with no compromise to American America seems destined to the greatest nation on the faj?#e of the earth. If the offer of Hawaii is accepted it will be but thyU first small step in a new forei;-gV policy. Other islands will fpJJWw'and perhaps Canada will offer ' herfielf to us. But we need not imitate the policy of Great Britain in bullying weaker natioqfs. We need only wait until new fields are offered to us. Then we can accept with no stain upon our honor.

Misses Lenna Harness and Anna ‘Pearl Cogswell, the “Little Wonders,” gave an entertainment in the Baptist church last Saturday evening that was enjoyed by all who heard it. They showed careful training in their recitations and drills and deserved a larger audience. I had not missed a winter for eight years without suffering severely from rheumatism until I tried K.E.N.T.S. It was the first and only remedy I ever found to help me. Have used it at times for the last three years. It never disappoints. One to three bottles always does the work.— Geo. Schaefer. Hope, Mch. 1, 18i)3.

He will deliver a series of lectures on constitutional law, commencing in October next. He has had the matter under consideration for some weeks, but did not signify his formal acceptance until last week. \

Common Sense From Connecticut. A News reporter had a long chat a day or two ago with the; advertising manager of one of the largest firms in the city. Some of the points are worth printing. “There is one thing I am satisfied of,” said the advertising manager. ‘ ‘There is no method of advertising that can compare with regular legitimate newspaper. I have tried them all and I know. I have spent money building signs. I have spent money on annuals. I have spent money on cards and circulars. I have spent money on all tho different schemes, but nowhere do I get as good results as I do from newspapers. I have tested the question until I am perfectly satisfied. I have tried in all ways. I have taken two towns of the same size and covered one with newspaper advertising, while on the other I have tried signs, cards, circulars and that sort of advertising. Invariably I sell more goods and get more results from the town where I use the papers. It is like this. If a man is driving along and sees a sign,he is thinking of something else, and it may make no impression on him. When he picks up a newspaper, he has his mind on reading and reads whatever he sees. It may be the advertisement and may not, but he is looking for something to read, and sooner or later he will read the advertisement. After my experience I am going to advertise in the papers hereafter.” —Bridgeport News. Millard Rominger spent Friday in Columbus. All kinds of job work neatly and tastefully done at this office. James Brown has bought the Nathaniel Ziegler farm north of St. Louis. Elmer Moore had quite a severe attack of neuralgia of the stomach last week. The most intelligent people of our community recognize in DeWitt’s Little Early Risers pills of unequaled merit for dyspepsia, headache and constipation. Very small, perfect in action. S. Stapp & Son. As it takes size, style, speed and good clean limbs, with good solid colors to make good sellers, I ask the breeders of fine horses to come and see colts on my farms near Bynum, Ind., before breeding next spring. J. W. Rosencrans.
