And Workman may have to refund -about £1,000.00. The Democrat will continue to] be “the paper of the people,” and ! give more genuine county news than all other papers published in j the county. Only SI.OO per year; get in the band wagon ft is said that Kilt of the tiood—land Herald, will be Judge Hanley's riding bailiff in the Newton circuit court. The worst feature of it is, though, that Kitt will have to go over to Kentland for awhile to “ride.” The Newton county commie-* sioners again rejected all bids for a new court house at Goodland at their session last week. There was no appropriation by the county council, and they could not do otherwise.

The official count over in Newton county gives Darroch a majority over Hanley for judgo of 76. Sink carried the county for prosecutor by 165. Wildasin’s majority for eheritf was 27, instead of 18, as stated by The Democrat last week. On the state ticket the republicans carried the county by 526. A meeting waß held at (ioodland last Monday to consider the new court house question. Mr. Sellers, attorney for Goodlaud, was of the opinion that three suits would have to be filed and fought through the courts before the coveted prize was landed. This would cost about §2,000 more, and subscription papers are now being circulated to raise the “dough.” Those who use a railroad track as a foot path do so at their own risk, says the appellate court in an opinion handed down last week. This decision was made by the court in affirming a judgment for the defendant in the action to recover for the death of Ellen Davis, an elderly woman who was run over by a Big Four train at Alexandria. The court held that the road owed her no duty save to prevent doing her an intentional injury.

The total vote of ludianu for secretary of state was 590,071, of which the democrats cast 263,255; republicans, 298,819; prohibitionists, 17,765; populists, 1,367; socialists, 7,134; socialist labor, 1,731. This makes the republican plurality 35,564. The total vote was 74,023 less than in 1900, of which the democrats lost 46,329; the republicans, 37,244; and the people’s 71. The prohibitionists gained 4,047; the socialists, 6,t>75; and the social labor, 268. Brother Babcock of the Jasper County Democrat while admitting defeat is still full of fight and has no hesitancy in letting the people know how it happened. That is right, say your say and then go on with the good work. Republicans of Jasper county give you much credit for your stand against the ring and the money you have saved the tax payers of your county and are still saving them. The battle may be a long and tiresome one, my brother, but the right is mighty and must prevail '-—Newton County Citizen.

DEMOCRACY’S NATURAL ALLY.

As the Republican party unites with the trusts, so the Democracy must unite with Labor, says W. R, Hearst in the Chicago American. Mr. Hearst then goes on to say: The path and policy of the Democratic party are made clear by fecent events, by recent elections. The Democratic party must associate itself intimately and sincerely with the working people of this country. The trusts and the Republican party are allied, as everybody knows. There is,a combination for profit j and for financial rule between the j great monopolistic corporations I and the Republican leaders. If j the Democrats would succeed they must establish with the leaders of JnbaiglKm...relatiaußhip-JHdiich. .iLa. Republicans have established with the leaders of ihe trusts. In return for financial support the Republican party gives to the trusts always predatory and usually illegally full protection; the right to dictate law and name executives. The Democratic party must join with the laboring citizenship of the nation—the backbone of the nation. The Democratic party must give to the man that works the encouragement, support and the legal protection which the Republican party gives to the trusts. In the fight against the trusts the sole hope of the people is in their own power of union. The power of the trusts is in united action, in organization, financial and politial. The Democratic party must find its strength aud combat the trusts through united and compact organization of the people. In the great financial unions which we call trusts the Republicans have built their strength and found victory. In the great labor unions the Democrats must find the foundation of popular organization and a weapon which shall enable the people to combat the trusts and control them.

All recent political events prove that the great political force residing in a combination of trusts and republicanism can be met successfully by a combination of labor and democracy. Eugene E. Schmitz, president of a trades union, was elected Mayor of San Francisco by an overwhelming majority. In recent New York addresses Mayor Schmitz has given much credit for his election to the San Francisco Examiner, which is under the same editorship as this newspaper. But the Examiner waß powerful not in itself, but because it gave publicity to the natural combination of Genuine workingmen and genuine >emocracy. In last Tuesday’s election a fusion of the labor element and the Democratic had no difficulty in electing the Mayor at Derby, Conn., and similar cases throughout the country will readily be recalled. In San Francisco the Republican Congressman, Loud, powerfully intrenched, laughed at the efforts of organized letter carriers to obtain fair treatment. A labor candidate was nominated in his district, the Democrats indorsed him, the San Francisco Examiner supported him with publicity and with financial help. Mr. Loud is no longer a member of the congress of the United States. His seat and his desk in Congress will be occupied by a genuine representative of the people that represents the irresistible political power of to-day—labor aud Democracy united. The Republicans in power at Washington will not put the Postoffice Committee in charge of the man sent to take Loud’s seat. But they will learn a lesson from that man. And from him the Democracy, too, must learn a lesson to be pondered every hour by every Democratic voter and leader. Genuine Democracy is the party of labor, and labor belongs naturally to Democracy. They must work together. One fact the Democrats that lead, or aspire to lead, the party must have firmly in mind. They cannot resolve to unite with the great body of labor aud expect union to result from their mere resolution. They must deserve the union. The desire of every serious Democrat should tend to a union of organized labor with the Democratic fiarty. The effort of every Democrat in office should be to promote aud to merit that uniou. What organized labor demands the interests ,of this country demand. And Hie welfare of the future, even more than the interest of the moment, de-

mands realization of the labor union idea. The Democratic party mast embody in itself the fundamental ideas that give power to the unions, that give justice and victory to union efforts* Reasonably short hours oT work, that men may have time for recreation, for rest, for reading and for family life. Good pay—which the nation’s prosperity can welj afford —that children may bo well fed and clothed, wives relieved of poverty’s horror and old age freed from the care that comes with the pay that keeps body and soul together during the day of work only. Such are the demands of labor in the United States of America. The man that does not indorse these domantis has no right to call himself a Democrat; helms no place in tho Democratic party. The st r uggie of iabor is for a fair share of what it produces, and for manly independence, making the American workingman independent of everything and of everybody save his duty to give a fair day’s work for fair pay. The Democratic party of the United States can be victorious through union with labor. It must achieve that union by deserving it. Henceforward there will be in America, as in the past, two great parties. The Republican party will be in the future, as it is now, the party of those that hold special privileges, or those that think they profit by the trust system. The Democraetic party must be the party that stands for equal privileges, aud for au honest division of the nation’s prosperity among those by whom the prosperity is created. The trusts, allied with Republicanism, aim to destroy independence, equality and opportunity. The Democracy must unite with labor to re-establish independence, equality and opportunity as features of our national life. The Prairie Farmer is the best farm paper.

Monel a, Ind., Nov. 12.—Overcome by the strong love scenes in “Sweet Clover,” which appeared at the Wysor Grand Opera House here Saturday night, a young man and young woman, who sat well In front in the parquet, deliberately kissed each other In full view of the audience. A wily usher, who was among the many who noticed It, thought he would let It go that time, but was surprised a few moments later by the young people repeating the performance, the second time the operation being a long, lingering, Nethersole variety of salute. .As there was danger of their attracting more attention than the show, the usher hurried down the aisle and Informed the disturbers that they must cease displaying the strength of their affection in public. “Squeeze hands when the lights go out if you want to, but don’t make It anj\ stronger than that,” the usher remarked.
