oTMark Hanna is making the fight of his life to be elected to the 1'. S. Senate from Ohio, and as he

ha all the money he wants to help him, he is likely to succeed, so that Ohio will be grandly represented by dollars!

President McKinley and fam

MTTIm Petersburg Press last week published a natural gas edition, w ith a tine description of that lively town, its bttateesi men, and prospects, and numerous illustrations of business houses and residences . The edition is a credit to the town and its citizens will send them broadcast over the earth, attracting many people to the town.

'The bit coal miner's strike

for living wages is still in progress. Investigation shows that the miner ' s wages had not averaged over 2.60 per week fornix months past. Representatives of all the different la-

boi organizations in the I'. S. ask

laborers generally to contribute aid

to prevent m.ners from starving

buch is gold standard prosperity.

after the gold advocates succeeded

in deceiving the miners last Fall. New Postmaster. Mr. Seh. Anderson has received his commission as P. M. at Jasper, and will take possession of the office nex' Sunday. He has selected .lohn M. Parker as his assistant. The retiring P. ML, Charlie Egg, has every

thing in the best shape to turn over

to them. He will remain with them for a short time, till they get the "hang of things." CharleyEgg has made an excellent officer, discharging his duties carefully and promptly, to the satisfaction of all. The Cocrikr hopes and believe Mr. Anderson will be as successful during his term of otfice. Now that the tariff h.is gone into effect there should be n ) trouble about the coal miners getting all they ask in the way of wages. The duty on coal is 67 cents per ton, which is equal to the entire wages of the best paid miners. It is claimed that all that is wanted in a tariff is to make up the difference between domestic and foreign wages, and no foreign miners are working for nothing. The new tariff is an advance of '27 cents jer ton on the rates of the Wilson law, and there is no apparent reason why there should not be an advance of 27 cents per ton in miners' wages if I he tariff is really for the benefit of the American workingman. Ind. Sentinel.

stay" Hie effort t secure manufaetOfitl at Huntmgburg ha- petered out. Too tight times under the gold standard, to make large inanulacturing investments profitable. When Bryan and a silver favoring Congress is in power in l'JOl, there may be some chance. High taxation the only prominent feature of the McKinley administration never made prosperous time-.

Thk Tax Bill Passkd The conference report on the tariff bill fussed the Senate Saturday last, t had passed the House previously, and is now a law. The People can now prepare to pay the Trusts of all kinds higher prices for nearly everything used by civilized persons, and confidence being restored to the Trusts by the law making them richer, members of the Trusts will of course enjoy prosperity, at the expense of the common people. Uet into a Trust or die of starvation, say the Barons to the farmers ar.d laborers. After the passage of this law McKinley sent in a message recommending the appointment of a monetary commission, to devise someway to retire all the green backs, and issue National Hank notes in their stead, without the People knowing it. Rut Congress paid no attention to him, and refused to take up a bill to prevent the Union Pacific from cheating the People to the tune of $30,000,000 more. It was hot and Congressmen wanted to get away, and so at !) o'clock at night both branches adjourned sine die, and members generally hastened to the R. R. trains and put out for some of the watering places or summer resorts frequented by the leaders of the Trusts they hid obeyed. No doubt their hats are "chalked," for as long as they want to stay. The millions made for the Trusts by their votes can easily stand it, while the laboring miner sees his family starving and vainly begs for bread. Such is Republicanism in 1897.

Mrs. Mary (ile.eu and Mr-. Hobhs, Sup t of Orphan's EIoOSS, sent in a report of their efforts to .-ec ure funds neoeoaaiy to found a home for orphans in Dubois i ounty.

proper home mlluences ior poor

children in our county; that they

hould not ! herded with common 1 .9 1

paupers, lunatics ami vicious com panions ; thai some provision should be made for the moral tiaining and

from her daughter Lillie, missionary

traveling, news from theplagOS an 1 famine distric ts, and the 'arthpiake, the worst known for years. The discussion, "How Shall Humanity be I'plifted," was led by Mrs. Jennie hemmon. Some ot" the means suggested were preaching, influence of a true Christian life, the W. C. T. U., the Sunday School, Christian Endeavor, B l wort h League and good literature. Kev. B. F. Cato claimed that bad people are getting worse and good people are getting better. He nvt Iiis experience in being advised by worldly minded Christians to say nothing in favor of the temperance cause, but Ixddly avowed his intention of preaching against sin in whatever form he found it, regard less of op osing powers. Rev. R. CajH'hart believed that the work of uplifting humanity WtU

not as effectual as it would be if toe ministers of the gospel had the courage to speak out boldly against the liquor traffic, the greatest foe to the purity and prosperity of the home, the church, and the state.
