According to Otis’ last cable Aguinaldo was still running. Judge Baker of the Federal court at Indianapolis, holds the Barret improvement law invalid. And now a New York fireworks company has assigned. Just on the eve of the great republican presidential fireworks campaign, too! Mark Hanna has served notice on those republicans who would drop Mr. Hanna from a prominent place on the national committee, that they “can’t lose him.” Mark will continue to be in evidence.

That British alliance seems to have been with President McKinley and not with the I nited States. By the way, a few years ago the republicans surreptiously posted a British flag over the democratic speaking announcements in Rensselaer.

The Journal’s statement of Judge Thompson’s decision in that tax matter is in keeping with its previous false statements in the matter. Perhaps, though, the Journal man is not altogether responsible for his inability to tell the truth. “What is bred in the bone,” etc., etc.

James D. Richardson, selected to lead the minority in the House of Representatives, is a member of long experience and high character. He possesses the ability and the temperament to make him an excellent leader, and may be expected to marshal his forces with skill and wisdom on all questions.

' War times are always prosperous for the people who stay at home. There is a side of logic, which finds nothing but cause for joy in

this condition. If there is increased activity in factories, if there is more running up and down the face of the earth, if there is a demand for the things which in times of peace were liable to overproduction, the short-sighted patriot, partisan of the administration flings his hat in the air and yells “Good times!” War prosperity is a fever, and on its subsidence there is a lowered vitality, a less healthful condition. When war is over the syndicates have unloaded. They have no burden of unsalable stock on hand. They have amassed wealth selling at a high price.

After every war comes a period of low morals, of vicious tendencies and of profligacy which possesses all the vices of the camp without the apology of avowed activity. I'And in the wake of that comes a | season of commercial and indus- ?■' trial depression that almost I threatens the foundation of soil ciety.—Lafayette Journal.

Only last October this Fred L'. I Griffin of the Remington Press, I this “honest man,” who had the I eternal gall to turn in to the assessor S2,(XX) worth of property ;1 for taxation at only $250. within ! two weeks from the time of its

| purchase, and then solemnly swore: “I have to the best of my knowledge and judgement, valued said property at its true cash value, by which i mean the usual selling | price, being the price which could Ibe obtained for said property at | private sale, and not at forced << »r auction sale,” in a voluntary state-' patent to the county auditor, said |of The Democrat editor: “I further wish to state that in all my | business relations with Mr. Babs cock I have found him straightforward and honorable in everyway, and I believe him to be strictly honest;” now he in effect , says, The Democrat editor is a f rogue and a criminal. Then, this ; same Fred L. Griffin in his weak, "wishy-washy way. was criticising the management of county affairs, now he is upholding it. Then. | this same Fred L.

It strike* «• that tbe diammj of the North Pale raid mat cur half so URch eidteHcat and wader as would attend the aohtkn of the mystery of the reason why a party, which has aa uwkclain* majority on a fair eonat ha the city of Philadelphia, should persistently and systematically resort to repeating, ballot bos stuffing and firadaleat registration.

For the pant year and a half, the various ring-defending newspapers j of Jasper coanty have seen fit to! parade before the pnbiic fialae and misleading statements concerning! the private and financial affairs of the editor of The Democrat, matters in which the public had; no concern whatever. So far as we are concerned sack methods; are accepted with a resignation bora of long experience. We; have become so accustomed to be-] ing called everything that an in-! solent foe can invent that it fails to pierce even skin deep an organism long enured to such poundings. As previously stated, w think the public is little concerned | in the private or financial affairs of the newspaper men of Jasper county. However, as oar brethren of the craft seem to think otb-j erwise, we have about concluded | to devote a little space each week' to the private and financial stand-! ing of each of the newspaper editors of Jasper county and to the various county officers, beginning with the President of the Board of County Commissioners and going on down to the Deputy-County-Treasurer- Truant - Officer, who once taught school at Fair Oaks. Should we decide to publish these interesting biographies and incklently trend on some tender corns in referring to the Chicago or Indianapolis end of a ! few administrations, we would re- | spectfully remind the offended in- ! dividuals that news is news. and that the public is no doubt much more interested in the private life of its official servants than in that of an ordinary citizen.

The free Indianapolis Sentinel offer is only made to democratic papers, hence The Democrat is the only pajser in Jasper county with which the eombination offer is made.

Five Per Cent Non Red Tape Real Estate Loans.

\Y m. B. Austin continues to make as many farm loans as all Ihe other agents in the county combined. In a recent given period of time Mr. Austin made kwns while all the other agents combined made 87 loans. It is not hatd to understand this when you know the facts: I irst. Mr. Austin makes the interest as low as the lowest. Second, He closes up in from two hours to one week from the application. Thiid. There is absolnlely no red tape in his loans.

The tzwth-toßer of the Journal aayw that four member* of that diet reading^ one way and a folding of facta directly opposed to the emdiet, were democrats. Will the Journal hare the kindnee* to name the four demoendaf In fact, can j By the way, that was a rather lmd showing for the Journal, Ten of n jury of twelve republicans weze subscribers of the Apologist, bat Mt n solitary one took the Journal. Now, jast a few words about that In aril cases the jury decide as to the evidence and facts in the cane, bat as to the law they are governed by the instructions of the court. The interogatories as to the finding of facts were exactly as claimed by the plaintiff. We have not tbe space to give ail the instructions of the court as to the law, but simply give one of them:

The writer, county treasurer and |j deputy treasurer each testified that jj we did call at the treasurer’s office to pay said tax; that a receipt was made out in regular form; that we asked to have “pud under protest” I 1 written across said receipt, that the treasurer would not make such addition, and that we then picked ; up our money and left the office, refusing to pay said alleged taxes only under protest. The Court set aside the verdict : of the jury and rendered one apparently move in accordance with the law and the facts, as he saw them. Further comment is unnecessary.
