Will Reed Smoot be emooted or will he not be smote? It is said that our Governor Durbin is an avowed candidate for vice-president. During October and the first week of November there were fifty-five suicides in Chicago. The members of the Indiana Democratic and Indiana Republican Editorial associations, with their wives, will be the guests of the Hon. Thos. Taggart at French Lick {Springs [Hotel, Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 2 and 3.

One of the greatest street car strikes in the history of Chicago, - involving all of the twenty-one linee of street railway of that city is now on. The strike is the result of the street car companies refusing to employ none but Union labor. The strike promises to be a nasty one. and many lives will probably be sacrificed ere it is settled. We notice that B. J. Gifford is advertising ‘‘farms to rent” in •Jasper county, and yet the courts have decided that a man who “rents” one of B. J’s. farms and signs' his long-winded, doubleaction, iron-clad farm _ “lease’’ is not a renter, aad the condition of laudlord and tenant does not exist between them. Many of the “tenants’’ have been trying to .figure out just what they are, but it is still an open question. Cotton mill employes -at Fall River, Mass , have, been notified that a general reduction of 10 per cent in wages will go into effect Nov. 23. Jt is said that other cotton mills throughout the east will follow the example set by the Fall River manufacturers and the redaction in wages will be general. The United States Steel corporation have also notified its employes that a general reduction of wages equal to a little more than 10 per cent will be made. This latter redaction will aggregate $15,000,000 annoally. Both redactions are alleged to be necessary on account of dullness of trade. ►

It is qoite evident that TaxFerret Workman operated in a more equitable manner in Tippecanoe county than here, or that the Lafayette Demoorat is unfamiliar with bis methods, judging from an editorial in that paper in which newspapers that have criticised the tax-ferrets and their work are censured for having done so. We know nothing of Mr. Workman’s “record” in other counties, but we do know something of his record here, and that it was open to criticism is well known to every person familiar with”his work. Exclusive of the question of the policy of employing ferrets to hunt up delinquents or tax-dodg-ers, which can and should be done by the county assessor, it seems to us that a man who is engaged in picking flaws in the honesty of others should first fumigate his own clothing, and according to a verdict rendered in the Owen circuit court a few months ago, Mr. Workman himself was found guilty of having cheated the taxpayers of his county out of several hundred dollars in fees collected while auditor of that county and which he had evidently forgotten to turn into

THE SMILE ON THE FACE OF SUCCESS The smile success wears is produced by earnest, persevering endeavor. In business in Jasper county it takes the form of advertising e'Oerjr fcc teeK. in The Democrat. Of course, everybody knows that The Democrat is one of the best newspapers in the state. Thousands of Jasper County families know it, and subscribe for it and enjoy it. The business - that has news, and prints it in The Democrat e'Very bveeK. hears from it before the week is over.

the county treasury as the law requires. Another thing that made Jasper county people lose confidence in Mr. Workman’s “investigation” here was his relentlessly pursuing the widows and orphans, the aged and infirm, and thus far allowing all the “big fish”—of whose alleged crookeduess he made considerable noise—go scot free. To be sure he did get after Judge Thompson, to assist his friend “Honest Abe” to another three years’ lease as ruler of Jasper county, but Thompson proved to the satisfaction of one of the ablest and most honorable jurists in Indiana —Ex-Supreme Judge Timothy E. Howard—that he didn't owe a penny of omitted taxes. And as for the other alleged high-roller dodgers, Workman never made so much a feint to get after them, so far as the public knows. The Democrat thinks that if tax-ferrets or experts are employed in any public capacity, the investigation should be thorough and absolutely impartial. Also, that the investigation, paid for by the tax-payers of all political affiliations, should be strictly nonpartisan. When Mr. Workman stooped to the political trickery of placing the alleged omitted tax against Judge Thompson on the tax duplicate just on the eve of an election, simply to boost bis friend Halleck back in office, be

did something that should cause the people of a community to look with snspicion on him and his methods. Edward J.' Fogarty, mayor of South Bend, has announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for governor.

. Oxford Tribune: Those who are getting their per centum on the tax ferret “graft” are not making qny complaints against the system. Has Benton oonnty realized SIOO ont of all the razzooing and bullyragging it bss subjected its citizens to? In our opinion the whole thing is an egregious blunder, unnecessary, uncalled for and unjust. Annul the contract with the tax ferrets. It is an unholy alliance.

The taxpayers of Jasper county should bear in mind that with an increase in taxable valuation in the state this year of $118,625,402 the republican state taxing officers increased the levy from 29§ cents to 30$. And this was done with no extraordinary call for more money. In our own county, bear in mind also, with an increase in taxable property of $3.000,000 in round numbers, the republican county council made no reduction whatever in the levy over last year. Then, getting down to Rensselaer, with a largely increased valuation, the levy is increased 39 cents by the profligate city council, and, we are told, there is now outstanding about $2,500 in protested city orders. Here is food for thought, Mr. Taxpayer.

A Piano at a Nominal Price.

Chicago's largest music house, Lyon & Healey, announces a Clearing Sale of Pianos. This is owing to the fact that their warerooms are being entirely remodeled. Several hundred splendid instruments are offered without reserve until all are sold. In this stock are a number of Steinway and Knabe pianos, and new and second-hand pianos including instruments of the following well-known makes: Miller, Mason & Hamlin, HazeltoD, McPhail, Sterling, Huntington Vose, Fischer, Weber, Chickenng, etc. In square pianos there are fine-toned instruments at $25, S4O, S6O and upwards. In Upright Pianos neat instruments at SIOO, $l2O, $l4O, $l5O, #165, $l9O, S2OO and upwards. In Baby Grands some nice specimens at $250 and Nearly all these pianos were intended to sell for much more than these clearing sale prices. Lyon & Healey will send a list and full particulars upon application. Any piano not proving entirely satisfactory may be returned at their expense. Address Lyon & Healy, 1 Adams st., Chicago. Distance is no obstacle in taking advantage of this remarkable chance to obtain a piano, for in proportion to the saving to be made the ireight charges are insufficient. If you do not already know Lyon & Healey by reputation any banker will assure you of their responsibility and record of forty years for honorable dealing. Write at your early convenience so as to avoid disappointment.

Attention Farmers Why remain in the North and stay in doors six months in the year consuming what you raise during the next six months. Go South where you ean work out doors every month in the year; and where you are producing something the year round, If you are a stock raiser you know your stock are now “eating their heat’s off” and, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter by expensive shelter. Economical stock feeding requires the combination of both flesh-forming and fat-forming foods in certain proportions. Alabama and Florida produce in abundance the velvet bean and cassava, the first a flesh producer and the latter a fat producer, and they are the cheapest and best fattening materials known to the world. More money can be made and with less labor, in general farming, fruit and berry growing and truck gardening along our road in the South than in any other section in the Union.
