J. P. Morgan’s fees for organizing five trusts is stated to have been 1172,000,000! Of course not a dollar of this vast sum represents anything but water, and must be made up out of advances in prices of products of these trusts. The consumers, then, pay this outrageous fee! This is a fair sample of the Immense prosperity we are now enjoying that is, Morgan and other trust promoters. The gospel of starvation is a strange argument for the republican party to use. It must grate harshly on the ears of those who but recently heard nothing but the “full dinner pail.” The beef trust having, in order to exact more profit on beef, boosted the price clear out of reason, the “full dinner pail” brigade find it impossible to supply their respective tables with beef, even when the most durndest infernal prosparity is present that ever happaned. He is now advised to eschew beef entirely, by his repubfriends(?)and theieby hit the beef trust square betue n the eyes. In 1884 A. McCoy’s battle-cry was “♦2 00 a day and roast beef, or 50 cents a day and sow-belly.” Now even sow-belly is beyond the reach of the “full dinner pail”

brigade of McCoy’s party. If the Broncho-Buster remains -in the saddle much longer, that ’democratic soup, of which McCoy is often wont to refer, will be a luxury even with the prosperity party The administration is said to be much alarmed over the developments in the army now in the Philippines. It fears that the people will fail to distinguish a difference between a butcher Smith and a butcher Weyler, simply because one disgraces the U. S., and the other Spain. Let the truth be told, and the whole truth It will make quite a number of “heroes” very uncomfortable, but let it be told, and all of it.

The Democrat desires to call the attention of the taxpayers of Jasper county to the claim of Louis H. Hamilton for services as county superintendent for the month of April, 1902, which was allowed in full by the board of commissioners at their May term. The law provides that this office shall receive $4 per day for each day’s actual services. This claim is for every working day during April, 26 days at $4 per day, $lO4, and was sworn to by Mr. Hamilton and filed April 29, 1902. What we wish to call the special attention of the taxpayers to is the fact that Mr. Hamilton on April 10th attended the republican judicial convention at Brook, and practically all of that day.was spent in Brook and in making the trip to and from that place. April 10th is included in this bill at $4 Do you, taxpayers of Jasper county, think that you should be charged $4 per day for a county officer’s services in attending political conventions? Is it honest? Is it right?.

For Small Stores, Too.

The Ad.-Writer of St. Lonis says many small merchants in the cities are apt to think that while the department stores should advertise, advertising is a profitless expenditure for the small business that finds its custom only in the immediate neighborhood of the store. These men fail to take into consideration the fact that in most instances the department store began life as a neighborhood store and increased its business by judicious advertising. Advertising is just as profitable for the small business as for the large one.

Primitive Chronology.

The most primitive method In chronology la that which enables man to otlent himself in the world of time by associating paitlctilar lunations with vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal aspects of vegetation and with the constantly changing sights and sounds of the animal world. In the calendar of the Crees, for example, we find such designations as “duck month.” “frog moon,” “leaf moon,” “berries ripe month,” “buffalo rutting moon,” “leaves entirely changed,” “leaves In the trees,” “fish catching moon,” “moon that strikes the earth cold,” "coldest moon,” “Ice thawing moon” and "eagles seen moon.” So In the calendars of Central America and Mexico the months are named variously after the arrival of birds, the blossoming of Howers, the blowing of winds, the return of mosquitoes and the appearance of fishes. The Greeks constantly used the movements of birds to mark the seasons. The arrival of the swallow and kite was thus noted. Hesiod tells us how the cry of the crane signaled the departure of winter, while the setting of the Pleiades gave notice to the plowman when to begin his work.

Balzac's Picture of George Sand.

In the published volume of his letters to Mme. Hanska, Balzac thus describes George Saud as he saw her In 1838: “I found lß*r In her (Tressing gown, smoking an after dinner cigar beside the fire in an immense room. She wore very pretty yellow slippers with fringes, coquettish stockings and red trousers. Physically she has acquired a double chin, like a canon. She has not a single white hair, notwithstanding her terrible misfortunes. Her beautiful eyes are still as sparkling as ever. When sunk in thought, she looks Just as stupid as formerly, for, as I told her after observing her, the expression of her face lies wholly In her eyes. “She goes to bed at 0 In the morning and rises at noon. She Is an excellent mother, worshiped by her children, but she dresses her daughter Solange In boy’s clothes, and thaV la not well. She is like a man of 20, morally, for she Is Innately chaste and artist only on the surface. She smokea to excess and plays perhaps a little too much the great lady.”

Rough on the Horse.

The joke Is on an Auburn (Me.) man who mixes up bran for his horse every night and who also uses sawdust for bedding. It seems that his wlfp, who sometimes assists In the care of the horse, changed the barrel containing the aawdust to where the bran barrel had been standing. The husband, not noticing the change, fed his horse with sawdust and bedded it down with bran.

AN ELEVATED THEME.

What la driving all the people to a diet of baled hay? The Beef Trust. What la dodging past the little star* up in the Milky Way? The Beef Trust; What has made the brlndle cow so frisky that she wants to fly? What has made the pennyroyal bull go sailing through the sky? What has sent the calves and yearlings up so scandalously high? fc The Beef Trust. What has made the ateer so “breachy” that he wants to jump the game? The Beef Trust. What has made the meat so mighty that you can't keep down the same? The Beef Trust. What has changed the gentle heifer to a high and mighty star, Whom we poor and luckless mortals can but worship from afar? What has put between our hunger and her luscious Hanks a bar? The Beef Trust. What has emptied the full dinnerpall, Mark Hanna’s joy and pride? The Beef Trust. What’s reduced us all to "garden sass,*' with prunes upon the side? The Beef Trust. What, if undisturbed, would leave our Teddy in an awful box ? What must, therefore, stand a feint or two from one Philander Knox? What, in spite of all the threats, continues piling up the rocks? The Beef Trust. What is making our anatomies—and pocketbooks—feel lank? The Beef Trust. What is taking all the little wads we'd salted in the banks? The Beef Trust. What, if it does not return to terra flrma pretty soon, And let up on this disgraceful gallivanting ’round the moon, It will Hatten out some morning like a bustedup balloon? • The Beef Trust. • —Denver News

LEST THEY FORGET.

We would respectfully call the attention of the editors of all the republican papers of Jasper county, including the Barnacle and Remington Press, to the fact that the county commissioners at their May term allowed the claim of The Democrat editor for erroneous taxes, assessed in 1898 against him by one H. B. Murray, then county auditor, without authority of law and in defiance of the evidence before him. This was done in revenge for The Democrat’s having exposed his mutilation of the public records in his possesssion, and Honest Abe and the since retired to private life Gwin were prime factors in the scheme. Gwin, as county treasurer, refused to accept the tax from us under protest, but in March of this year we went in and paid the tax to Treasurer Parkinson, and as was his duty when so requested, he wrote the receipt “paid under protest.” Then we filed a claim before the commissioners to have the tax refunded, as it was erroneous and assessed without authority of law. The case was a very plain one, but the commissioners continued it “to get a written opinion” regarding the allowance of it. Their attorneys, Foltz, Spitler & Kurrie, in their opinion, entered into the case pretty thoroughly and showed that all the higher court authorities were on our side, and advised that it be paid. In spite of this opinion, which no doubt cost Jasper county as much as the amount involved, Abe wanted to “continue it until the next term to get an opinion from the AttorneyGeneral,” a mere subterfuge for delay. We insisted on its allowance or dismissal, and finally Abe’s colleagues, not caring to risk a lawsuit on so plain a case, allowed the claim, and Abe and the rest of the gang have been weeping tears of rage and mortification since. The above little case of “spite,” all through, has cost Jasper county taxpayers over SIOO, and there was not a solitary vestige of law or evidence to justify the. action of the gang at any time. This tax would never have been refunded to us if it had not have been a ground hog case. The attorneys and the commissioners saw that it HAD to be done, and in view of the costly litigation they have heretofore involved the county in, to get even with The Democrat for exposing their rotteness, only to lose out in the end, they didn’t care to take the responsibility of facing another suit at this time that was sure to result the same way. This matter and the result in other cases which The Democrat man has been forced into during the four years he has been here, ought to convince any fair minded man that we have been right every time, and that the other fellows have been completely knocked out at every turn of the box. We hope our local contemporaries will not forget to mention this, the final adjudication of this tax matter, as they have in the past few years used many columns of “valuable space” in holding up The Democrat man as a tax-dodg-er. Don’t forget it, boys.
