OUR TICKET FOR 1880. FOR PRESIDENT, THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, OF INDIANA. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, CLARKSON N. POTTER, OF NEW TORE. ' > The Democrats of Daviess county have instructed their* delegates to the Second District Convention to cast the votes of the county for Col. Satu. Taylor for Congress. The Press last week devoted a hall column to showing why Joe Barker ehonld be returned to the Legislature. It is unusual for a Democrat to select a Republican paper as his organ. -;-— » «•» « «■- The Democrats of -Knox county have resolved against the proposed amendments to the Constitution. One reason assigned is the great increase in the cost of elections that would necessarily grow out of their adoption. > How do our Republican friends like to have at the head of their organ a man who a short period ago wanted to turn Democrat and publish a Democratic paper if he could get a little .county printing as his pay ?

The Press is dropping into the old ruts very rapidly. Some passages in the last issue will compare favorably This Press predicts that Grant’s will not be presented loathe >n)y nominated but that the Press gflrlglpH" itself hoarse in fat-or of ns election to a third term. with Harrell’s foulest paragraphs, We have almost as high respect for Harrell’s style of journalism as for that of the present editor. -- - — ■» » -- The Press is respectfully informed that the Democratic party of Pike County js fully able to take care of Itself without its imbecile assistance. Differences of opinion as to the expediency^Of certain policies among membefs' of the party will cut no figure at the polls, Mr. Press. Lieutenant Governor Gray, in a speech at Washington, Ind., on the 13th of March, urged that the first and third amendments be voted down on the ground that the opportunities for fraud under a registry law are much greater than under the present system. He is also opposed to them from an economical point of view. We haye already iuformed the Press that we propose to pay no attention to those of its ’charges, of which the real facts involved are a matter of record, Our space is tod valuable to take np iu answering all the petty, spiteful, charges it may see fit to make. When it makes charges of illegal printer’s fees we simply refer parties interested to the records where they can possess themselves of nil the facts. Now that our friends have their tickets in the field iu all the towpahips, we wish to say a few words on a very vital point—the necessity of untied action, by every Democrat in the county sticking to the nominees and laboring with might and main to draw strength from other sources, we can gajn one township this year. If dissentions arise -and Democrats refuse to support the regular nominee we shall lose one. A word to the wise is sufficient. \ We feel downright sorry for Ev. ansville. The city has voted aid to numberless railroads every one ol which was to make it ’’the great city of the lower Ohio,” and not a sign of a railroad is yet visible. The people of that nnfortnnate burg are now considering whether to vote $200,000 to the Peoria and Evansville railroad aud they will no doubt conclude tb do it, tbns probably adding another to their long list of failures. Evansville has immense ptnek if she hasn’t any railroads to speak of.' , The price of leaf tobacco is considerably 'higher this season than last and producers are realizing a reasonable return for their labor. This advance is due to the action of the Democrats in Congress in forcing a redaction of the U. S. tax on manufactured tobacco from 24 cents to 16 cents per ponnd. Manufacturers found that they could get about a certain price for their various brands and no more and not choosing to lessen their profits, made np for the high tax by lowering the priee of the leaf. When the tax was reduced they were able to pay a proportionally higher price to the producers, and and still sell the manufactured article at the same rates as before. Thus it is seen that the producers of tobacco bare the Democratic Congress only to thank for this improvement in their bnsiness. The Democratic party has ever shown itself to be the friend of the people.

Tm present administration of the affairs of the State is the most satis* factory to taxpayers of any known for years. The expenses of (he State government have been cut down nearly one fourth and the various bonevatent institutions are covering back; into thedeasury an average of $5,000 a month of the money appropriated for tjieir maintenance, a thing which was nevor known to occur undent Republican administration. What argument more powerful could be submitted that the present regime should bo continued. , 1

We Uave yet to flnct a -voter in Pike county who does uot feel deeply the huinili. ition of.hairingtoaskii si6t«r county w hom lie shall rote tor tor Rep resents tire.—| Pi as COi Democrat. “I” should smile! Pike county is making much ado about nothing1. Do tte nominating in vonr own why, Bro. Me.* and Dubois will do the voting. Dubois is willing to < lo almost anything to keep Pike in a good humor au(l to save her from deep humiliation. Tn it out your MV>. Bro. Mr., and Dubois will e! bet him.—[Jasper Times.' You lake os too literally, Bro. Swint Our understanding has been aJl along that Dubois was entitled to the joint "representative from Martin and Dubois, and Bike to the one from Dubois and Pike, and consequently 'no misunderstanding between Pike and Dubois has been anticipti ted. We submit to tbe Times if it is not human nature for a people to feel humiliated when deprived of half their voice id the affairs of State to gratify the petty ambition of one man. _ The Pike County Democrat is tho only paper in Indiana that advises the people to-rote against all the proposed constitutional ainSndments. Ifhia is demagoguery gone to seed.— [Press. The position the Democrat has taken with reference to tbe amendnfents is the true one. It is tbe outgrowth of the logic of events. When they were first proposed to the Legislature in 1877 they carried almost unanimously; in *79 by small majorities^ Tbe slight thought given to [hen between the years '77 and 79 revealed a sufficient number of weak points to make their adoption by the last Legislature for a time very doubltul. Sincedhe^close of the last session they have been subjected to the most searching analysis by thousands of the best iniuds iu the State and many valid objections, to some of them, not thought of before have been brought to light, so that if presented to the members of the last General Assembly to-day they would be overwhelmingly defeated. What is evil in them has been pointed ou t, so that | in the future their good points alone may tie presented to the people for Adoption, This is why we are in favor of casting them all aside at this time, and we believe it would be exercising the highest degree of wisdom to do so.

Widows Not Exempt. traded by tbe property held by widow} not assessed above $500. Much property wag deeded to widows in order to escape taxation. The. following' decision of this question is taken from Che Indianapolis Journal: 8,547. State ex rel Mari ah L. Tieman it al vs. the city of Indianapolis. Mar on S. C. affirmed. feiddle, J.—The statute provides that the following property shall be exempt from taxation: ‘The property to the amount of $500 of a widow or unmarried female, or of auy remain minor whose father is deceased., if her whole estate, real and pm'sonal, not otherwise exempted from taxation, does not exceed in value the sum of $1,000.” (Acts 1872, 57. sec. 7, clause 3.) The constitution declares that “The General Assembly shall provide by law for a uniform and equal rate of assessment and taxation., and shall prescribe such regulations as shall socurn a just value for taxation of all property, both real and personal, excepting such only for municipal, educational, literary, scion lif e, religious or c haritable purposes as may be specially exempted by law.” (Const.,art. 10, sec. 1.) If the exemption from taxation, provided for Sa clause 8, cited above, cap be upheld, it must be under the head of “charitable purposes.” A charity, or charitable purpose, or charitable use, means, in law, a public charity, use or purposes, which affects the publio alike, without reference to an individual, clasS, or any particular domestic relation. A private charity, di spensed by an individual, out of his -own means, tbe lavr will not restrain ; but a privet charity, dispensed by 1be45tate, at th expense of her citizens, can not be up helid. It must be public, benefittiu all alike, without reference to indi viiluals or classes, as such. It is th ch aracter of the property , its use, o purpose,aud not the character or clas of its owner, that may exempt it froti taxation. Among the examples whic may be given of property used fo charitable purposes, under the const) lion, may be mentioned the asylun for the blind, the hospital for the in sane, and various other institution' w hieb inure to the benefit of the pub lie, to all, not to particular individual ot to classes of individuals. But, b' the clause cited, the Legislature pro poses to exempt certain property fron taxation, not on account of the use c purpose to which the property is de voted, but because the owner o tie property belongs to a particula class of persons, distinguished by »e: and domestic relation, namely, i w idow, an unmarried female, or a fe nr ale minor whose father ]g deceased To exempt by law, private property owned by a private person, and use< for that purpose, on accou nt of thi sox or domestic relation of t he owner is a violation of the constitution! prin c pie that taxation shall be uniforn a ad equal on all property, both rea a ad personal.

But the people stream object to the constructing 01 these dams on the score that it will render overflows much more imm! nent. In commenting on these ot» jections thef learned engineer of ih< Press discourses as follows: The reasons given for the objections are not good, for the raising of the dam four feet will not cause the water to overflow the lowlands. It takes more than four feet to caijfse tltfc water to overflow the Igtuks of the river.’* Uow does this second edition of Capt. Eads, or De Lcsseps, know that

raising llie dam four feet will not cause the river to overflow? Is it not a fact that the river sometimes overflow even now ? The fact is, to raise the dams lour feet will. cause the river at those points to overflew with four feet less depth of water than nt present, and the chances for overflows will be increased proportional!?; The ■people are right in objecting to the wmding of dams, for the reason just given, and would also be justified in protesting against it from another standpoint—the increased amount of stagnant and filthy water it would occasion, which is always detrimental to the heltlth of persons liviug in the immediate vicinity. We have known something of the evils arising from that dam at Patoka, and trust the people-along the river will see to it that the land adjacent to its banks is not made practically uninhabitable by too uuuch damming. ^ Pause, Ponder and Peruse 11 The invention of that Superior ani Complete Sewing Machine (The Fain ily Sewing Machine), marks one o the most important eras in the bister) of machinery, and when ve ronsidei its great usefulness and extremely low price ($25), It is very diflcult tc conceive of any invention for domestic use of more or even equal importance to families. It has great capacity for work; beautiful, smooth, and quiet movement, rapid execution, certainity and delightful ease of operation, that at once commands it above all others. The working part* are all steel, strong and durable, and will last a life time ;the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the stitch is the firmest ol all the glitches made, neat and regular, aud cau bo regulated in a moment to sew stitches from an in^h in length on coarse material down to the finest,so infinitesimal as to be bardely discernable with the naked eye, and with a rapidity rendering it impossible to connt them as fast as made; it has more attachments than anv other, and it does to perfection all kinds of heavy, soars, plain, flue, or fancy needlework with ease, and far less labor than required on other machines. It needs no commendation, the rapid sales, increasing demand, and volun: tary encomiums from the press, and the thousands of families who use thorn, amply testify to Uieir undoubted worth as a standard and reliable household necessity, extending its popularity each day.
