| E;l‘hat_ Sugar Story. - We drcpped mto a certain place in Ligonier one day recently, since the passage of the Gorman tariff bill, and we oyerheard a republican talking loudly about the great rise in the price of sugar on account of the democratic taritft. He showed how the poor farm er had to pay more for the sweetening for his coffee. - In fact he sung a woeful tale of woe into the ear of the democrat with a view of making him think that the new tariff was an awful thing. This same fellow knew that if he had gone to. his inyoices or bills, dated at any time a year ago, when everything was under the McKinley law, when there was no tariff on sugar, nor nothing but the republican legislation to govern the sugar trust, he would have found that sugar cost, during the first week in September, 1893, $5.72 per 100 pounds. Last week, abou# the time that this fellow was finding so much fault, sugar was delivered in Ligonier, of the same kind and quality, freight prepaid, at $5.35 per 100 pounds.. Tnat is, this grocer bought his sugar 37 cents cheaper upon the one hundred pounds than he did under the Mc¢Kinley law. =

‘Another argument that this fellow did not use was the following figures from the Indianapolis Journal, which: gives the daily quotations of ‘all kinds of goods, of September 7, 1893, and September 7, 1894, viz: . Sept. 7, Sept. 7, 1893, 1894, Hard sugarsB.....c..ovevvees 63 @7% SV4@5 3% Confectioners’ “A” ... ..... Bl@bly 535@ 5% St YA iiiheccenianna. s..

No, but because the sugar trust is able to dictate what sugar must bring. They were able to do so with the McKinley law and they are able to bring about the same results at this time. This is the time that most sugar is used and this is thesperiod for the harvest They propose to make hay while the sun shines. The addition of a one cent tax upon sugar is bound to make it higher, but not to the extent that some of the unscrupulous grocers and clerks would have the customers believe. ‘ The Maccabees Elect Officers. The state convention of the Knights of Maccabees concluded its work, after one of the most successful and protitable sessions in the history of the order in Indiana, at Fort Wayne on the sth. It was decided that the first biennial meeting of the Great Camp of Indiana, ‘the organization of which was completed at this session, should be held at Marion in March, 1897.. The new Supreme State organization, now known as the Great Camp, does not become operative until January 1, 1895, and the time for the first session was fixed to be at the time most couvenient near two years from that date as possible. - The following officers were elected: Psst commander, L. T. Atwater, of Wanatah; great commander, Miles Meredith, of Wabash; lieutenant command‘er, Arthur Hickson, of LaPorte; great record keeper, J. W. Replogle, of Wa- ‘ karusa; great finance keeper, Edwin E. Wire, of Plymouth: great medical examiner, Dr. Irwin, of Goshen; great chaplin, E. H. Werner, of Terre Haute; sergeant, F. McKinnon, of Hammond; master-at-arms, H. C..Grosby. of Michigan City; first master of guards, Joseph A. Yockey, of Lapaz; second master of guairds, C. G. Keehn, of Ligonier; sentinel, W. J. Leas, of Bloomington; picket, W, A. Winer, of Logansport; supreme representative, W. E Brown, of Seymour. No city was officially designated as permanent headquarters. butitis probable that J. W. Replogle, of Wakrusa, who was elected great record keeper, will remove to Wabash, where he may be in constant communication with Great Commander Miles Meredith, who lives in that city.

THE EFFECT OF THE TARIFF. Pennsylvania, that was to be prostrated and utterly cast down when sacriligious hands were laid on the McKinley tariff schedules, doesn’t show one tremor. On the contrary, her manufacturers and merchants and transportation companies keep well at the front in the line of resumption and renewed business activity. Instead of getting too much tariff revision Penesylvania did not get enough. The failure of congress to put iron ore on the free list is a drawback and hindrance to the manufacturing prosperity of the state.—Philadelphia Record (Dem.)

* % That business is picking up is shown by the advertising columus of the Blade for the last few weeks. There has been a marked increase, and the public is waking up. Trade better, and the “‘want’’~advertiser has more confidence in himself and the people. The want columns ot the Blade show it, and the increasing space taken by Toledo merchants, as well as by outsiders. is a guarantee which cannot be disputed or questioned that the tendency is upward. The Blade is a good business barometer, and the returns to the advertisers who use its columns are of late most gratifying.—Toledo Blade (Rep.) - ‘ =

k% We are already beginning to see that free wool is going to do for woolen manufacturers in this country what free raw silk has done for the silk manufacturer and free hides for the boot and shoe industry. The woolen manufacturers are preparing for a better business thani they have known in years, and are already setting up machinery for weaving grades of cloth which never before could be made in this country on account of the prohibitory duties on wool necessary to make them. At the same time, the price of American wool is advancing—it has gone up something like 30 per cent within the last sixty days.—New York Post (Ind.)

Wool produced in the United States will be increased in price by reason of wools being on the free list, (1) because we produce only a small portion of what we use in woolen goods, (2) because the kind we produce in being made.into goods is mixed with foreign wool, the price of which is enhanced by reason of the tariff, and (3) because by reason of the enhanced price of imported wool, due to the tariff, our manufacturers are restricted in their operations, thus limiting the market for our domestic wools, With greatly increased activity in woolen manufactures, which is sure to.come now, the demand for American wool will become active and it is an active market that sustains and advances prices.—Terre Haute Gazette (Dem.) ‘ ;

The merchants are informing the people of some of the immediate benefits resulting from the passage of the democratic bill. By advertisements in the newspapers and by the distribution of printed circulars they are calling attention to the reduced prices at which they are able to cffer their goods since the new tariff went into effect. One effect of these adyertisements is to recall to the minds of their readers the conditions of four years ago, following the passage of the McKinley bill, when prices were marked up instead of down. In October, 1890, there was an almost uniform advance of from 20 to 80 per cent in the price of all merchandise. In some instances the advance was even greater than 80 per cent.—Chicago Herald (Dem.)

The republican ;;a;ers which are predicting that the tariff bill that has now become a law will extend the existing financial troubles and create some new ones are committing a serious blunder. 1t is a blunder because the things prophesied haye no chance to come to pass, and the pruphets are well aware of this. An improyement 1n business, marked enough to be seen by everybodv who wants to see, has taken place since the bill was sent to the president. The changes in duties, on the whole, are not radical enough to affect industries linjuriously. Two or three months hence the improvement in business will be so marked and so persistent that the croakers of today wiil be ‘confounded and humiliated, Partisan capital cannot be made out of the gloomy vaticinations ‘which ‘emanate from certain republican journals and statesmen at this time. The democratic party will be beaten in the congressional elections, and ought to be, but it will be helped rather than hurt by prognostications which a few weeks’ time will proye to be falgse.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.)

For four montﬁs* there were no orders for goods, and there consequently was no incentive for activity with the mille. It would have been, under the circumstances, a gambling operation to have run the mills in the anticipation of a demand which might never materialize, and, ot course, nobody did it. Now, with the sudden and unpre cedented demand which has developed during the last two weeks, the capacity of the mills will be overtaxed. We are running with double shifts night and day and have even more goods sold ahead than we can make —New York Dry Goods Economist. : Good Cow for Sale, I have a first clags cow which I will sell to the right party at a low figure.

i A Strong Indorsement. ‘At the head of this column will be noticed the announcement, of Mr. W. W. Sharpless of this place, as a candidate for the democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney. Mr. Fleming, the present incumbent, will not allow his name to go before the convention for renomination, and Mr. Sharpless is receiving unqualified endorsement on every h_and{ He was educated at the tri-state normal college at Angola and studiet law for several years at Hicksville, Ohio. For the past two vears he has been practicing law in Avilla with marked success. He is an able young lawyer of sterling charcter —worthy of the honor and quahfied to fill the office creditably-—Ayilla News. : Goods Hard to Obtain. , Goshen merchants in several lines find it difficult to procure goods from the wholesale houses on account of the great rush of orders for goods since the tariff bill was passed. Retail merchants hesitated to give orders earlier and as a consequence they now are all rushing to the wholesale markets at once. In the clothing house business ’this 18 especially true. The manuf icturers are crowded with rush orders 'and are unable to meet the demand, which is so great that the orders are ‘half tilled and sent on by express. A gentleman who has just returned from a three days’ purchasing visit in Chicago says the wholesale clothing district is over-run with country buyers and that it is almost impossible to secure desirable goods in any quantity for immediate delivery.—Goshen News. . : '

A Steuben Couuty Pioneer Gone.

Dr. George W. McConnell, a wellknown resident of Angola, died at his residence in that city on the sth, aged 73 years. Dr. McConnell was a conspicuous pioneer figure in northern Indiana and was among the first settlers in that part of the state. He was born March 16, 1816, and was & native of Livingston, Nelson county, Va. He came to Steuben county in 1836, and in 1839 removed to' Angola, where he has since constantly resided. He was married near West Alexandria, Pa., August 13, 1846, to Miss Eliza Bonar. who died a few months since. Twelve children were born to them, of whom five are yet living: Dr. McConnell’s life is closely interwoven with the history of Steuben county’s development from a wilderness to a populous, highly civilized, cultivated and wealthy community.

Left for the Party’s Good.

Free Kelly was nominated for congress by the Populists and Coxeyites at Kendallville last week, As might be expected he made a speech and as is always the case when a man can no longer run a party, he leaves 1t and then says, the ‘‘party left 'me.” Better be trutbful. He has léft the party for the party’s good, not his own. The party has had him on its hands since before the war and time and again haye the Democrats of this section and county rolled up their sleeves, spent their time and money to do him honor. Now haying got out of the party all he can he leaves it, without as much as a ‘‘thank you’’ to the hundreds of Democrats who have made sacrifice to serve him. Let him go. The party has been unfortunate in having honored quite a number of others who have proved just as he, and have shown their ungratefulness in the same way. But a party that has carried the load can travel without it.—Auburn Courier, (Dem.) . What the Teachers Want, At the late meeting of the Noble county teachers at Home City many matters of interest were discussed. The following resolutions were passed: Be it resolved that it is the sense of this institute that the honorable board of trustees carry out the following suggestions: j . First—That we as teachers deem it advisable that supplementary readers be furnished the various schools of the county for pupils in all grades of common school work, the same to be used in connection with the Indiana series of readers. Second—That the school term be lengthened to at least eight months of continuous work beginning not later than Oect. 1. ' Third—That janitors be furnished all schools that come -under the jurisdiction of the trustees to see that the school rooms are properly heated and kept in, a tidy and orderly condition. e . Fourtn—That teachers should be apprised of the fact whether they be retamned in their present position or transferred to somewhere else as soon after their term ot school has expired as possible so that they can arrive at some definite conclusion as to their future movements.

Fifth—That the compensation of teachers should vary in accordance to their grade of license held and their ability to goyern a school. Sixth—That we as teachers extend our sincere thanks to the honorable board of trustees for the action they have taken in regard to furnishing the schools with free stationary. ‘ Seventh—That the teachers be given all legal holidays that occur during the time that the school term is in session and that all schools be closed during the time that the teachers’ association is in session and that their regular compensation per diem be allowed in both instances. :

The following recommendations! were also made by the institute: We teachers of Noble county, Indiana, now assembled in institute ses-] sion at Rome City do petition the honorable members of the legislature of the state of Indiana at their next regular session that they take action upon the following resolutions. First—ln justice to the people of Northern Indiana and the adherents of popular education elsewhere we deem it advisable that a state normal school be established in the northern part of the state. Second—That a law be passed compelling all children between the ages of eight and fourteen to attend school some where at least fiye months of every school year. ' Third—That the county superintendent be instructed to send a copy of the resolutions to the superintendent of public instruction and one to the chairman of the Educational committee of the coming session of the state legislature. .

. ORIENTAL ARMIES. : : Militarj Strength of China and Japan of Special Interest Just Now. = In view of the possible unpleasantness between China and Japan over Korea the following account of the military strength of the two powers is not without interest: The military force of China consists of the army of Manchuria, 70,000 men, many of them armed with the Manser rifle, with a liberal supply of Krupp field cannon; the army of the center, 50,000 men, which can be doubled in case of war; the army of Turkestan of uncertain strength, employed to maintain order in the extreme western territories, and the territorial army, something like the American national guard, of 200,000 men in time of peace, but which is capable of being raised to 600,000. Her navy comprises 1 first class battleship, 1 second class, 8 third class, 9 port defense vessels, 9 second class cruisers, 47 third class, 2 first class torpedo boats, 26 second class, 13 third class and 2 smaller boats. =

Japan’s army on a peace footing is about 66,000, but she has a reserve strength of nearly 200,000. Her fleet is a purely defensive force. It comprises 5. armored cruisers and 22 third class cruisers. 4 The Tax Levy for 1894, o The commissioners at their last meeting made the regular annual tax leyy and confirmed the action of the township trustees and other officers who are called upon to make the tax levies.
