If \vk have little else to he thankful under this democratic administration we can be grateful for such delightful winter weather. It has nrevt"tiled a vast amoontof suffering which- would otherwise have been unavoidable in homes of workmen who are unable to find employment. Ip cue town board would discuss the question of new side walks with half the interest shown by the high school pupils last Friday, ye would soon see steps toward a decided improvements in that line. The board did a good thing in (placing a new fence around the square. Now let them take v.nothcr step forward, •fsrr ———— Foe blundering, the Cleveland administration surpasses any previous record of less than a year. During his first term blunders were made but the country was in condition that it could endure them without any severe strain.'- But this time affairs are more critical and every blunder is counting severely;against the country's business interests. Me. Bit allows replied last week to Mr. Wilson's speech in the house on the new tariff bill as follows; ‘‘You (the Democrats.) said the act of 1890 would develop no new created thorn by the hundreds. You said it would bring no resultant bqnetiis to our workmen -■ -it secured for them .enlarged employment' and increased wages. You said it would enhance the cost of the protected article —u cheapened- it to the consumer. You said it would diminish our foreign trade —it auguiiicnu'd it in 1892 to 81.897.089.(il(>; .an increase over the previous year of {428,283.(10f. You said it weald s!u out our products from foreign markets —our export trade ! increased 3J-t6.797.388, swelling its ! volume to $1,03.1,278,148, the largest ever known in the history of our country, and exceeding the value of our • imports by $202,875,636. You said if would paralize our domestic trade —it was never more vigorous than in the years iuunedi-t.f-ly following its enactment. And so every prophecy of ill found swift and complete refutation in increased industrial activity on every hand, a ,:i enhanced individual and national prosperity.'’ Democratic newspapers do . not.like to copy from the speech of, President Ingalls at Columbus. Ohio, ‘ He looks at the tariff from a business i man's point of view. Ha says: •‘The cocmij-itte# on ways arid ■ means has sent, to congress a tariff i lull wh'eh. in addition to the deficit I of $50,999.01 it), will produce $75,090,-1 00(1 more of loss, leaving the govern-1 meat at the end of the ficial year* short $125,(109.(00, unless it can be 1 node up in other wars.'’ "How do ‘they expect to make up | this $125,000,000? Cover your heads , in shame; my fellow democrats, fon your party in power in the days of j peace proposes to go hack and enact j the. war taxes of the.past. And ■ why i In order that they may urn're I a tariff framed ai—orring m ,

theories of a few men familiar only with the books and reduce the duties on certain articles which do not demand it and make certain articles free which are not called for.” The Democratic Disadvantage. The Democrats labor under the peculiar and fatal disadvantage of being pledged to a tariff policy that i involves the necessity of imposing | new burdens upon the people when j its professed purpose is to reduce taxation. They have promised to lessen the duties and thereby relieve tin; country from the payment of so much money for the support oi the Government. This would be easy if the duties were yielding a revenue in excess of the national expenses; but the malancholy fact is that they are not yielding enough to meet that demand. They have come $34,000,000 short of doing so in the last six months. This implies that they were reduced even below the line of safety by the republicans, and that there is no pretext of surplus receipts to justify a further decrease. The manifestly proper and judicious thing to do under such circumstances is to let the tariff alone, at least so far as projects of reduction are concerned, as the figures plainly show that more and not less revenue is neeried. But the Democrats are obliged to diminish the duties, or confess that they carried the last election on false pretenses. They cannot evade the issue, for they have made it themselves, and the condition is such that action of some kind is politically imperative, whatever the consequences may be to the party or to the country.. This is the situation which the Wilson bill has been devised to meet. It is a bill which proposes to reform the tariff in such a way at to decrease the revenues at one bold stroke to the extent of from $30,000,000 to $70,000,000 per year, in face of the fact that the receipts of the government are already inadequate. and that instead bf a monthly surplus there is a monthly deficit. Never before in the history of this country has a proposition been deliberately made to out down an insufficient revenue for the purpose of lightening the burdens of the people. There must bo a certain amount of money raised to defray the cost of carrying on the public business, and if not derived from customs duties, it must be obtained by direct taxation. There is no other way to solve the problem. The democrats acknowledge this,-and give notice that internal taxes will be -increased, not simply to meet the present deficiency, but also to cover the much larger one that they are about to make bypassing the Wilson bill. It is easy for the people to understand this scheme. There is nothing recondite or ambiguous about it. The tariff pledge of tlie Chicago platform is to be redeemed at an expense-of from $50,000,009 to $70,000,000 a year,and this amount of money is to be exacted from the people in the form of direct taxes on their business and property. Such is the Democratic method of promoting the general welfare and prosperity. It is contrary to all the principles of just and reasonable government, and it can not be defended upon any intelligent theory of economic legislation. There is no room to hope that it may be defeated. The party in power has the votes in Congress to put it through, and a President who is ready to give it his official approval. But the people will be heard from upon the subject in the nest election and their verdict will be one of un---edified condensation. —St. Louis Weekly Globe Democrat. Lieut. J. H. Connelly, of Greensburg, was killed by the cars at. Newport, Decatur county, last Saturday- evening. It is supposed that a passenger and three freight trains passed over his body and the remains were horribly maegied. He was making investigation of some cars for shipping when lie was probablycaught and killed. Lieut. Connelly served with distinction in the late war, being signal officer at the battles of Atlanta and Chicamaugua. His aged parents, Rev. A. Connelly and wife are sorely smitten by h : ; death.

JOHN V. HADLEY. 15 ito Favors Him For Congress From Tile Fifth Mlstrlrt. Wo would like to suggest the name of Judge John V. Hadley, of Hendricks county, as the next republican candidate for congress. He is 53 years of age; his birthplace was Hendricks county, and his education was received lit Butler University. He served his country during the war of the rebellion for three and one-half years, as private and first lieutenant. He was twice wounded in battle; was captured and imprisoned, escaping after seven months’ confinement. In June, 1806, he was admitted to the bar and successfully practiced his profession until after his electidn in 1888 as Judge of the nineteenth judicial district. This position he has ably and successfully filled. He is recognized as one of the ablest men in this congressional district. He is a speaker able to meet any opponent on the stump. His record is good and if chosen for congress, he would ably represent the district in congress. We suggest that he be made the republican standard bearer and then let us see to it that he is elected. Euo. REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION, I. IWoetiMjg of flu* County Central Committee at Coltim- ' bin* Saturday. The republican county central committee met in Columbus last Saturday to organize and view the prospect o’er for entering the coming campaign. That there is much interest in the meetin is shown,by the fact that of 34 cojuniitteeman in the county 33 were present. All were full of enthusiasm for the principles of the republican party, and confident of victory at the polls at the election next fall. The committee organized by electing John R.-Gent, county chairman; William F. Stevens, vice-chairman; J. F. Matson, secretary; and Arthur Overstreet, treasurer. Not in many years has so much interest been manifested ms at this meeting. Speeches were made by Hon. C. S. Baker, Attorney W. W. Lambert and others. Arrangements were; made for permanent headquarters. The general opinion was in favor of j an early convention for nominating ■ candidates, but the date was left for •the committee to decide at its next meeting.
