THE FOURTH AT REMINGTON.

The Democrat is in receipt of the following communication from Remington: Remington, Ind., July 5, ’OS. Mr. F. E. Babcock: Dear Sir:—Our editor had a bad day of it yesterday, and some of the boys would like to have you fix the matter up for us. Circumstances are like this: Programs printed, judges selected for eachevent; nothing had b<-en neglected that could interfere in the least, with editors being present at each event, The rain, however, made some changes necessary, so the committees met and changed things to suit his nobs. The first mishap occurred after dinner, while the editor was listening to the Rey. DeVol oration which was continued up tor nd until after time set for the mule race, causing ye editor to miss that part of the program, It was then that trouble began, and be demanded that theracts be run over, but when he found that the committees had settled with the parties that took part, and they would not run again, he then went hunting for the man that ordered the races. To quiet his wrath some of the boys reminded him it was time to go to the ball park. Here came another burst of wrath, “I suppose they will send the balloon up while lam at the ball game." He took in the gime, but while watching a foul, which was about to drop on his head, he was run into by one ot the boys who was chasing the bail and knocked down, bending his umbrella and was tramped upon by the lad, skinning his leg :o that he limps to-day. He's up against the whole bunch, not even a pleasant grunt for any of the committees. Nobody done anything right, and someone spoke to him this morning about the write-up of the fourth, he grunted that it “would be easily told in a line or Your personal acquaintancj’and these few points will enable you to fix the thing up. I feel that were you on the grounds a few minutes you could get a lot of it. Very truly, *♦*

Discouraging Outlook.

Senator Hemenway’s eloquent plea for economy In expenditure rather than more taxes, thinks the Boston Post, is the voice of one crying iu the wilderness. “Nobody thinks of cutting down the expenditures, but only of Increasing the taxes. This course can, however, but excite discouragement in the minds of the people when they think of the natural and legitimate increase in expenditures, which must follow the growth of the population and the necessary development of the country,”

Story to Read Aloud.

A tall girl named Short long loved a certain big Little, while Little, little thinking of Short, loved a little lass named Long.

Meridian St., Indianapolis, Ind., Member Second High School Alumni Ass’n, writes: “Peruna is the finest regulator of a disordered stomachi have ever found. It certainly deserves high praise, for it is skillfully prepared. “I was in a terrible condition from a neglected case of catarrh of the stomach. My food had long ceased to be of any good and only distressed me after eating. I was nauseated, had heartburn and headaches, and felt run down completely. But in two weeks after I took Peruna I was a changed person. A few bottles of the medicine made a great change, and In three months my stomach was cleared of catarrh, and my entire system in a better condition.”— Genevlve May.

Why Protectionists Howl.

The howl of the high protectionists over the Panama canal supplies rnling, says the Providence Journal (Rep.), Is explicable. “Men like Congressman Grosvenor cannot be expected after spending years In deluding themselves and trying to delude others to rid themselves of the notion that the last test of patriotism is the willingness to pay more for the necessaries of life than other people pay, that those who desire to buy ns cheaply as they can are not good Americans and that tho government is faithless which evades the requirements of the sacred tariff."
