CALL TO DEMOCRATS.

Democratic voters of the City of Rensselaer are hereby requested to meet at the law office of E. P. Honan, on Wednesday, Mch, 12, 1902. at 7:30 p. m., for the purpose of reorganizing the Democratic Central Committee of the City of Rensselaer, and to set a date for holding the city convention. Lucius Strong, Chairman. And now Bro. Dunghill of the Brook Reporter calls Charley Hanley a ‘‘cheap skate politician.” This do settle it, and Charlie should go way backTetc. State Chairman O’Brien has issued the official call for the democratic state convention, which meets in Indianapolis June 4. Under the apportionment Jasper county will be entitled to 8 delegates. The democrats of Newton county have reorganized their county central committee by electing Charles Spinney, chairman; S. R. Gilmore, secretary; and Paul Weishaar, treasurer. All reside at Goodland. And now S. R. Nichols, late trustee of Barkley tp., and local promoter, of the “Rensselaer branch” of the Gifford railroad, has made formal announcement of his eagerness to look after the county treasury for the next few years. “Honest Abe” wants to ba “vindicated” f< r building the Keener tp., gravel roads and scores of other reprehensible acts as county commissioner. Well, we know of no one who needs a “vindication” more than Abe, but his record, like Blanco’s ghost, will not down. While prices for corn and its meat products have ruled high of late, they still do not yet touch the top notch figures of 1882. In that year beef reached $9.30 and the average price for the whole year was ♦6.25 while corn touched 81 cents in July and that on a crop considerably in excess of that produced in 1901. Hogs went up to $9.35, and the average price for the year was $7.63, Present conditions would seem to favor a still higher range of prices on these products than now prevails before a new crop is ready for market. Farmers' Guide. With the salary of $225 per year which each : county commissioner now receives in Jasper county, there is no big money in the office for an honest man. True, ho receives ample compensation for the t me actually expended in the service of the county. But, if he is an honest man, a man who looks for nor receives no rebates from stationery, bridge or other contracts, there is no big thing in the office. For this position men of unsullied character, men of known honor and integrity should be selected. It is the most important office to the taxpayer that we have. The supreme court held last Friday that the mortgage deduction law of 1899 is valid and constitutional. This law exempts S7OO of mortgage from taxation on real estate assessed for $1,400 or more, and one-half on the amount of assessment less than that sum. For example, if your farm or residence property is assessed at $1,400 or more, mortgaged for S7OO or more, you have a right to an exemption of $70(1 from the assessment fixed by the assessor; if assessed at SIOO or more and mortgaged for any sum, you have the right to take off onehalf the amount of said mortgage up to ♦ i(X) or one-half the assessment. Applications for exemp- ' lion must be made and filed with the county auditor between April Ist and June Ist of each and every year.

The Apologist editor has come out in a long editorial endorsing the method adopted by the Jasper county republican machine of selecting delegates to the judicial convention. Certainly he would endorse it. No political skullduggery of his party is too base for the Apologist man to “heartily endorse.”

A LIE NAILED.

Through the Wheatfield Telephone, “Honest Abe” announces his candidacy for renomination for county commissioner to succeed himself from the north end. The Telephone also takes it upon itself to slur the editor of The Democrat for having criticised some of Abe’s acts as commissioner—where he has been the w’hole “push.” It says, though, “if there is another republican officeholder in the county, past or present, whG has not been subjected to the same treatment, will he please stand up and be counted?” The Democrat does not care to enter into any extended controversy with the Telephone, but we desire to Say right here that when he makes such an insinuation as the above he is a prevaricator with a big L, and he knows it. The Democrat has criticised Mr. Halleck, and he has deserved much more than he got. His unsavory record in the completion of the court house, the Keener gravel roads, the railroad elections; his getting the county involved in innumerable expensive lawsuits, his “tax investigation” and numerous other transactions have deserved the censure of every honest man in the county. We have also criticised his colleagues to some extent, more especially Mr. Dowell. Mr. Waymire has generally been considered by people who know him, as a well meaning man, but he has been in bad company, company in which he cut very little ice, to use a slang phrase. Dowell—well, every man who has followed his public career for the past few years and knows of his connection- with the Halligan cattle case—commonly called the Halligan cattle stealing case—knows what Dowell is. We have also criticised a few other past office holders, and if the time ever comes when an honest investigation is made of their public acts, it will be found that a worse set of scalawags never preyed upon the people than they. But let us see about the present office-holders. The Democrat has never said one word against the public acts of the county treasurer, recorder, sheriff, surveyor, auditor, county superintendent, or coroner which narrows down our “ill treatment” of them to a very small number indeed.

We did say that the present county superintendent was the most expensive official that ever held that office, and showed by the official reports that only three counties of the 92 in the state showed a more expensive one. We still contend that this was true Hnd have republican state officials’ reports to prove it. We did say that after Recorder Porter’s seeking the nomination for re-election, knowing full well what the duties of the office and the salary was, it was not treating the people of the county ri gh to immediately go before the legislature and ask for (and it was granted) an increase of salary of $(>00 per year. We still think as we did then. We have said—and still think so—that it is not right for the sheriff to turn the sheriff’s residence (which is owned, heated, lighted and kept in repair by the county) into a rooming house for the private gain of the sheriff. But this has been the custom here (or years and one sheriff, we understand, run a boarding house while he held the office and the expense of “boarding prisoners” during his reign was quite heavy on the taxpayers of the county. While we have not heretofore said so, we think the interest of the taxpayers would have been better subserved had W. C. Babcock gone into the Auditor's office himself instead of leaving it in the hands of the same old crowd under whose reign all the various extravagant expenses of the county have grown up. This office needed a thorough cleansing, and it should have it as soon as possible. It is a most important office to the taxpayers. Now, if there are any other of the present officers who have been “abused” by The Democrat we would like to have them “stand up and be counted.”

POVERTY AND WEALTH. The stork flew over a town one day, And back of each wing on infant lay. One to a rich man’i home he brought And one he left at a laborer'! cot. The rich man said, “My aon shall be A lordly ruler o’er land and sea.” The laborer sighed. “ ’Ti> the good God’s will, That I have another mouth to fill.” The rich man’s son grew strong and fair, And proud with the pride of a millionaire. His motto in life was, “Live while you may.” And he crowded years in a single day. He bought position and name and place, And he bought him a wife with a handsome face. He journeyed over the whole wide world. But discontent in his heart lay curled Like a serpent hidden in leaves atjd moss, And life seemed hollow and gold was dross, He scoffed at woman, and doubted God, And died like a beast and went back to the >od. The son of the laborer tilled the soil, And thanked God daily for health and toil. He wedded for love in his youthful prime, And two lives cliorded in tune and time. His wants were simple, and simple hisereed. To trust God fully; it served his need, And lightened his labor, and helped him to die With a smile on his lips and a hope in his eye. When all is over and all is done, Now w hich of these men was the richer one? —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

THE REFORM LAWS.

It is said that State Statistician Johnson, ex-president of the township trustees’ organization, the most notorious organization against the interests of the people ever gotten up in Indiana, will, in his forthcoming report, devote much space to “showing up” the county and township reform laws and “proving” by “facts” and “figures” that the expense of administration has been greatly increased under their regime. We presume that in some few counties where honest and conscientious officials have been at the helm, perhaps the administration of affairs under those laws has been slightly increased, very slightly, but, in counties like Jasper, where the reverse was the case, it has effected a great saving to the people. In enacting laws against murder and horse-stealing, we are not to infer that every man is a murderer or a horse-theif, yet such laws are necessary for the protection of the law-abiding citizens of the land, and in enacting laws to prevent township and county officers from stealing public funds we do not assume that every man elected to office is a thief and a rascal. But no honest man is injured in any way by having his public acts watched over, and the fellows who chafe under the system of espionage and publicity given under the township and county reform laws are men whom we would not like to trust if given a free rein

We know nothing about what Statistician Johnson may find in other counties, but we do know that in Jasper county, notwithstanding most of the county officers have done everything in their power to make the law obnoxious to the people, it has resulted in the saving of thousands of dollars each year. And every taxpayer in the county knows that his taxes have been greatly reduced under its operation. From a 65 cent tax levy for county purposes in 1898 we was dropped to a 34 cent levy in 1900. notwithstanding the fact that 4 cents of the latter levy was to pay court house bonds something not necessary nor not included in the ’9B levy. The total expenditures from county revenue in 1898, as shown in the auditor’s report for that year, were $31,195.64; for 1900 they were $29,121.64 and for 1901, $36,008.61. In the expenditures for the latter year are included many items which were not in the '9B expenses, while some others, notably court house bond acct., bridges, etc., weie necessarilly much heavier. Exclusive, of this, the record stands greatly in favor of the county reform regime. Below we make a comparison of a few of the more prominent 1898 and 1901 expenditures, taken from the official reports issued from the auditor’s office: 1898 1901 Kxp.
