M ? US Beware of the men who are always trying to defend the scoundrels who are fattening on public plunder. A close inspection will generally reveal the fact that they are sharing In the booty.—Hebron News. It h h i The U. S. treasury deficit for July is §8,518,741. It is said that the republican Campaign managers have decided to drop Hobart and put a military tail to the next presidential ticket. How would Alger do? An honest investigation of county affairs will locate the Ethopian in the county wood pile. Every taxpayer should be in favor of an investigation being made. Bro. Clark takes the Wheatfield Telephone man to task for getting the Journal and Democrat mixed in referring to the latter. Don’t mention it, Clark; we're just as ashamed of it as you are. It would be rather embarrassing if some other nation should notify the United States that unless the war in the Philippines is stopped she will step in and take charge of affairs there. The chickens would then be coming home to roost with a vengeance.

In Crawford county, this state, an election was recently held to determine whether an investigation of the county records should le made or not. The vote was overwhelmingly for an investigation, but now the commissioners refuse to act and the taxpayers are worked up to a high pitch over their failure to make the investigation. The campaign fund collector of the Barnacle says he would be S leased to sell The Democrat man ersey milk, but we must pay for it in advance. Perhaps the campaign fund collector is afraid we might want to “turn” that old note he gave several years ago to an honest old democrat of Marion tp., for two loads of sweet clover hay for the Jerseys.

An examination of the reports of the latest school census of Indiana reveals some interesting facts. It shows that the per cent of farmers has decreased in every county of the state while towns and cities have increased their population. There are 78 city governments and 304 town incorporations. Indianapolis is the largest city. Rising Sup the smallest city, with a population of 1,477, while Plainfield—population I,soo——is the largest unincorporated town, and Spring Grove, w ith a population of 92, is the smallest incorporated town in the state. Only 19 cities have a population over 10,000. Every taxpayer in Jasper county who is interested in county matters—as he should be —ought to secure a copy of the report of the Bureau of Statistics for 1897-98; and compare Jasper county’s expenses with those of other counties of the state. The Democrat has taken the liberty to fjend in the names of several prominent taxpayers, men who will take the trouble to investigate, and copies of the report have been sent them. If you wish to see official figures in these matters, send your name and address to John B. Connor, Bureau of Statistics, Indianapolis, Ind., and request that a copy of the 1897-98 report be sent you. If any copies are still on hand, it will be sent you free of charge. When you get the report and study it carefully, you will find every statement contained therein, confirms those made by The Democrat. Send for a copy of this atid satisfy yourself and convince your neighbors of the rotten condition of affairs in Jasper county.

Since the nomination of Bryan by the Chicago convention of 1896, the money circulation of the country has increased nearly half a billion dollar. The enormous increase has been steady, month by month and has kept pace with the country’s prosperity.—Apologist. If all this is true, isn’t it strange that the Apologist man is unable to assimilate a little of that “half a billion” or any of the “country’s prosperity?” His assessment sheets, to which he is required to make oath, disclose the fact that he is growing poorer all the time. Bro. Marshall doesn’t make oath to the reliability of his editorials, however. The rate of assessment of the various railroads, express, palace car and telegraph lines, passing through Jasper county, as fixed by the state board of tax commission- i ers is as follows, per mile: Panhandle, main track, §12,000; side track, §2,500; rolling stock, 3 000. C. & I. C., main track, §14,000; side track, 3,000; rolling stock, §2,000. The 3-1, main track, §15,000; side track, §3,000; rolling stock, §1 500 The C. I. & L., main line, §16,600; side track, §3,500; rolling stock, §2,000. Pullman and Wagner Palace Car companies, §IOO. Adams Express Co., §350. American Express Co., §450. Western Union Telegraph Co., §375. The following from a special Washington correspondence to the Chicago Tribune would perhaps apply to some of the articles purchased at our court house with public money, notably that included in the stationery bills: Unless the towels furnished for the use of Government clerks by Unple Sam are fastened in some manner they are apt to be separated from the Government offices, although the name of the department to which they belong is woven in large letters in the end of each towel. The inability of some persons to distinguish the property of the Government from that of the citizens is illustrated by a story of a laundress, published in a local paper. Ellen, a colored woman who has been engaged to do the laundry work of two women who were neighbors, mixed the pieces in delivering them. She was informed that she had evidently brought Miss Blank’s towels to Miss Jones. “Es dey ain’t yo’ towels,” she replied, “Idunno whose dey is. Dey isn’t Miss Blank's, ’cause all ob hers is marked ‘Treasury Department,’ ma’am.’ ”

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our regular correspondent.) Republican wishes father the story sent out from Washington, several days ago, that a movement Was on foot to put another gold democratic presidential ticket .in the field, next year. No such movement is known among democrats and no such action is expected to get the support of any considerable number of democrats, because they aIL know that it* is not being instigated by democrats, but by republicans, whose only object is to draw support away from the regular democratic ticket.

A number of democrats who took girt in organizing the Palmer and uckner movement, have since acknowledged their mistake and their regret, and expressed their intention to stand by the regular nominations hereafter, because the democratic party as a whole stands for most of the things they believe in. Although republican money is likely to be freely used to bring about such a condition, there is absolutely nothing in sight at this time, to indicate the nomination of a gold standard ticket next year. * * * There is much shaking and quaking in the old Alger clique in the War department, because of a rumor, which seems to have foundation, that Secretary Root, who is now in Washington, intends to reorganize the War Department from bottom to top. Certainly no other department of the government needs a thorough reorganization more than the one over which Mr. Root has been chosen to preside, but the clique is powerful and Secretary Root may find himself unable to overthrow the Algerites. If he is wise, he will get Gen. Miles on his side, by restoring him the authority of which he was deprived by Alger. ♦ * ♦ Attorney General Griggs, before going off on his summer vacation, shattered the hopes of numerous persons who thought they had everything fixed to secure valuable Porto Rican concessions from the War Department, by rendering opinions upon three specific concessions, —the right to use the water power of the river Plata, the right to build and operate a tramway, and the right to build and control, for all time, piers and wharves at Ponce. These opinions take the ground that all such concessions were the crown property of Spain, and sums them all, and apparently all other public concessions on the island, up as follows: “As crown property, they were, by the treaty of cession, transferred by Spain to the U. S. of America, and are now a part of the public domain of that nation. I do not know of any right or power which the Secretary of War or the President has to alienate in perpetuity, any of the public domain of the U. S., except in accordance with acts of Congress, duly passed with reference thereto.’’ This is understood to be a hint to Alger of the power of the administration to make trouble for him and his business friends, who are heavily interested in some Cuban deals, if he attempts to antagonize the administration. * * * Representative Griffith, who represents the Indiana district which sent the late Judge Holman to congress for so many years, said of politics in his state, and he knows: “Indiana will send to the Democratic National convention a solid Bryan delegation. The men who were for Mr. Bryan and the Chicago platform, in 1896, have not weakened in their faith regarding either. lam one of those who believe in the indestructibility of the principles of democracy, and though the party may suffer temporary defeat, it is sure to regain ascendency, for it represents better than any other political organization, the true interests of the people. The predominant issue in 1900 is very apt to be war upon the trusts, and upon this, the democrats will be in far better position than their opponents. The voters of the country cannot be deluded by anti-trust declarations of the republican convention; they understand that there is no real antagonism between the leading men of that party and the trusts, but that on the contrary, the i closest intimacy exists, seeing that most of the influential republicans are thoroughly identified with combines and monopolies. We had a great chance in 1896, and we came very near success, and we will have just as good a chance in 1900. I see nothing in the situation that is discouraging to democrats, but on the contrary much that betokens a winning campaign.” * * * One of the conundrums of the hour is why the sending of a cablegram to Gen. Otis, conveying an expression of Mr. McKinley’s confidence in him, and satisfaction with all he has done, including his press censoring, should have been kept secret for ten days after it was sent? Some say that Mr. McKinley wanted to ascertain how far public sentiment would go in supporting the demand for the recall of Otis, and that if that demand had been a little stronger, the cablegram would have been suppressed entirely. It was evidently kept back for some purpose. And it wouldn’t have been the first time that official matters have been made public or suppressed by this administration in deference to the state of public opinion.
