Advertisers wilt mak-j a wore of this faetT FRIDAY, February 8, 1884. Not for twenty years lias the outlook for Democratic success been so good as ill this year of grace. The Republican managers at Indianapoli3 have given up.a't idea of ting a Congressman in the firs.t e district. Representative Mackey, of Sonti Carolina, died Monday of iast week Be was the only Republican frtm . tkut State. The resolatrou asking Senator Mithone to resign passed tlie Virginia legislature—2j5 'to 10 in the Senate and 00 to 21 in thelIou.se. The annual mejetug of the Indiana Association of Veterans of the Mexican Wsf, will be held at the Court House in the City of Indianapolis, on Friday, February--£2, 1384, at 11 o'clock, a."at. , The State Democratic Central Coiblnfittee has established headquarters ia roorai 10,*14 and 15 Condnitt Bloekf Indianapolis, where Democrats from all sections of the Stale will be made welcome. CoNoaiissjian Cook thinks the pension for total disability should It fixed without regard to rank. Mr. Cook’s head is level. We supposed a totally disabled col oriel "1s no more totally disabled than a totally disabled private.

There not being enough offices left after.turning all the Democrats out who Held positions iradc'r its control, the Senate has voted to give each member a clerk with a big salary—i scheme to provide for sons, nephews:, ©r nearest relatives not now in office. The .Denjocratio party has always:, since the days of Jefferson, insisted oa an economical administration of the government, while the opposition toit has always labored to enlarge tho j ©Iterations and the expenditures' of the government. The difference in the policy* ofthe two parties is appreciated by the people. The Sentinel ^say? : “The Trades ■4» -and Labor Assembly of Cincinnati have decided, by a vote of seventeen delegates against six, not to p>Idce a workingman's ticket in the field at the next election. This is wis^ and the example should be followed everywhere. The Democratic ticket is the best workingman’s ticket that can he made.” . ' One of the most serious obstructions to the general prosperity of the eonntry is the great and growing surplus revenue, which constantly disturbs the finances of the country anil produces a grievous burden on the people, while it is not only m t needed for any legitimate purpose but it is a standing invitation to profligacy and a menace to purity in legislation. The taxes must be reduced. The purchase of large bodies of public lands for purposes of speeukttjon .by aliens 'and non-residents is. one r.-i e glaring and growing evils of the country. It is said that several Englishmen own at least *100,GCH) acs-cs of land, each, in this country, and we are glad to know that there is a strong and growing determination in Congress and ont of it not to permit such, purchases hereafter. Hon John C. Xew has been sept home to manage the canvass for “the greet party” in Indiana. Hon John Ovennyer had been called to Washington w here he met the great bosses. John’s story of the situation in “Indiana caused them to hasten to ask that Mr. Xew.be sonffto Indiana to attend to the organization, of the party. With the exception of Dorsey, Mr. Xcf is the best organizer in the

TriE wages of laboring men in this county a rc from fifty cents to one dollar per day for a fall day’s honest, hard work. The Republican Conimisteioners furnish a man they callt.n expert with a room, stationery, fuel lights and journals and pay him cash nifie. dollar* per dav. Pay it out of the; county treasury, out of the people's money. And the people are not receiving and -never will receive anything in refern therefor. How do the people of the coontv like this sort of economy ? Voters of Pike, how do j r8* -—— ' Oh, to*; there is a wide difference between the Republican (Arty and its great rival, the Democratic parly. Tl»e former has been corrupted by the men who hare made themselves the masters, and no reform by them is now possible, while the latter hits ever been the party of the people and has its principles on a love of common justice and the largest liberty consistent with tlte public welfare. The Democracy has higher turns thnn the distribution of party spoils, and it asks t be popular confidence, not to enrich its leaders, or make sport of the functions of government, bus lo bring back the nation to the landmarks oMibcrty and law and secure to the psople wbat they have not «ajoyed fo r many rears—viz, the bk*»t

Hon. J. E, McDonald, Dhairma r» of the Democratic State Central Committee, issues a circular to the county central Commitk-es adrisiugan early and thorough organization of the townships fop the eorililig spring f lections. The chairman of each township committee should heed the advice and call a meeting for the purpose at once. Look to it, commence early and work all the time. Since the formation of the Constitution the Democratic party has wade economy in the administration of the government a cardiaai principle. The Republican party, since it came into power in 1861, has favored a constant enlargement of the expeifliturcs of the federal government with a view not only to personal aggrandisement but to' the centralization of power, and the protection of favored interests and the creation of monopolies. The Republican party must go. The Republican party will go. The Democratic party has always insisted upon Jefferson’s idea, that the blessings of government, like the dews of heaven, should fail equally and alike upon all, the rich and; the poor, the great and the small, all iiic-n paying it homage, tire least as foiling its care,,and the greatest as uoti exempt from‘its power. The Republican parly is the party of tnonopol r*of corporations and concentrated wealth, and which see5:s to control power by factitious interests, ancTto transfer it from the hands of the many to the few. This is a Leading distinction between the two parties, made manifest in the whole history of the party struggles.

Last campaign! tin; Republicans made many loud pjharasaical promises concerning retrenchment, reform and economy. Upon such promises they elected two members*of' the Board of Commissioners, lloiv have they kept their pledges ? Where is their reform ? Wiicre is their eono two dolion. my ? Here it is. They! employ | experts at a salary of eighteen lays per day to fish for defaica Furnish a man with a nice room, fuel, light, stationery, journals, &c., and pay him tlie enoanoas sum of $9 per day. For what? Simply! to look tfver books that other men have made in the discharge of official duty. Two thousand, five hundred and seventy dollars of the people's mbney afready wasted In this business. And the end is not yet. It is not likely thaj; the experts will say ••quit" as long as the $18 per day is forthepnir lag. A vabiff that compels the laboring mi a to pay H5 per cent itut y oa his SxtO window glass, BO per cent on bis common coarse blankets m on chea p woolen nnderelothing, or 110 on his riee, while his wealthy neighbor buys fine blankets or wooleft underclothing with a duty of Si per cent, only, does not appear to have been prepared with an eyeningie to the •‘protection” ef the workingman. At least it does not look that way to a person who will take the trouble to think. There appear to he inequalities n- the premrnt schedede which unjustly (hecrimi iates against the poor snip and in favor of the monopolists. which do not look like protecting the workingman.—[Chicago Press. It is only required that the p ain, unvarnished facts shall be laid rare before the people of the United St ates relating to the Iniquities of the present Republican tariff to-create a demand for it3 revision that will bjfe as resistless as the* tides, of the ocean To adjust the tariff tax to a basis that shall do as near as possible justice to all classes of citizens is the Supreme demand, and to that it must come at last, not without an effort, not without bold, aggressive work, but with that sort of work reform is Inevitable. Reddick Harrell, Sb., has lived in Petersburg more than, a quarter of a century, and is well and favorably known to all our citizens. He is a Republican of unqfiestioncd ability and integrity. He is an expert accountant and thoroughly acquai nted with the books in the auditor's and treasurer's offices. He would have made the investigation the so culled experts are making for one fourth what it is now costing the county The Democrats in this town and countv were perfectly willing that he should do so, ahd in fact recommended him as a proper-person to make the investigation. However, the Republican bosses were not willing to jhsk Mr.. Harrell, but sent out of the conftty and employed two men not near'so well known to our citizens and pay them four times as much as Mr. Harrell would have charged for the same work. Do the tax-piyers think this is just? The reason why the bosses did this is not hard to Bud. They knew they could not influence Mr. Harrell to make the kind of a report they desixed. They knew his report would show the truth, and the truth was hot and is not what they wanted.

So person of good sense will contend that an annual expense of $100,000,000 is necessary to carry on the ordinary affaiis of this government. It is said to be necessary flow, but it is not because their is just demau 1 for it, but because the"* system of vraste and extravagance intrc>duccd by the party in power has gwelied it to such proportions. But great as this sum is, and needlessly expended as much of it must be, the complaint would not be so great if this public burden was e^ublly borne. This is, however, not, the case._ The rich escape while the toiling millions must bear it fl nos. alone. It is airainst this unequal and unjust system of government that tlse people are risking complaint, and loud as the clamor is, and long continued the abn.se, the peirty responsible for this gi res neither heed nor attention, but goes on making alliances with wealth and seeking nothing but its own aggrandizement. Meanwhile scandals are rife, viihnnies are per

Be Just to tie Soldier.* [Indianapolis Sentinel. | The New York.Herald mentions the fact that “more than twenty bills to increase pensions or put new names on the roll hare been introduced dtiring this session that has only just begun,” and' this the Herald characterizes as a swindle which ought to be stopped. Paying soldTers pension money can scarcely be teg s riled as a swindling operation. It is easy to ascertain if the claimant was a soldier. There need be no mistake about that. The next thing is to decide what the pension ought to foe. • There is a possibility that the sn:m agreed upon would be too large, though there is little danger of such a mistake bej ing made, as the practice has always , been to pay soldiers too little for their [services. The trouble seems to be that there are a great many soldiers. That grows out if the fsict that a great many were required to save the Union. To pension ail the soldiere would be something in the nature of a “retired list,” such as is provided | for officers. General Sherman was : retired a short time siuecoii a pension j of $15,000 a year. Why not be as liberal towards soldiers in the ranks? i They did ihe lighting and saved the [Union. The question of taxation ; need not frighten any one. The resources of the country Will not be exhausted by paying pensions. We hear much now a days from niiicumpoop journals about the sad condition of the treasury', owing to the accumulation of silver dollars. To read the yawp of such papers persons, who have to their credit the brains of a bat, might conclude that tine linances of the “Nation” arc going to everlasting smash because the treasury is lull to overflowing with silver dollars. If it should be agreed to pay more pensions, the silver dollars in the vaults of the government, in excess of silver certificates, could at once lie distributed, and no complaint would ever escape the lips ot the soldiers. The Nation, with a big “S,” is rich. It owns the Union. The Union includes many thousand square miles of territory*, in which the Creator stowed away incalculable stores of silver and gold—enough to pay pensions for all the wars that will come for a thousand years. We have just begun to scratch over the surface w here these

precious deposits lie hidden. To dig them out, coiu the shilling metal into dollars and eagles, double eagles, half and quarter eagles, and pr v soldiers who saved the Union for their services, is just the thing to do, and when ab are paid arid all are dead there will be treasures enough left to supply the world. The nation with a big van artbrd to be as liberal to soldiers as it is to railroad corporations. The time is net distant when Republican bosses will no Lunger rob the treasury. Perjury birokers and forgery candidates will not have charge of the National finances, and when the reign of honesty and economy begins jhere will be more money to pay pensions. If the soMiers who did the fighting to save the Union are not to be paid penstbiis because they were' not wounded; because they escaped with-their limbs and. without broken bones, then in simple justice, put a stojp to paying officers enormous sums when they are placed on the retired list. A soldier is of as mqch consequence as an officer on the battle field or off of it. Senator Harrison is greatly exercised about a soldiers monument which don’t cost much, and soldiers arc beiing invited to contribute the money, but Senator Voorhees wants the soldiers paid in something besides monuments and statues. When soldiers ask for bread he doe's not propose to give them a pile of rocks, or a ton or "two of pot metal. There is not a bit of danger in regard to monuments, they can be postponed for a while, but bread and meat, clothing and shelter, the comforts and the necessities of life, are the things to be provided first. Certaipiy the Republic, while bestowing princely sums iifton retired officers, will not neglect the humble obscure soldier.

There can be no question that the changes going on among, and in the addition to, the voting j population are immensely jh favor of the Democratic party. It is a most; improbable thing that any man who thinks enough to change his opinions should go froniHIie Democratic belief to the illogical and mediaeval views of the restrictive economists of Ihe protection school. Discussion nnd education are the factors which will bring triumph to the Democratic party in the contest now going on and to go on till commerce is unshackled. The thoughtful, independent men of the country, not bigoted in t heir opinions nor slavish in their alliances, are the class which will swell the Democratic vote. The young men, too, the students who w:i!I for the first time cast their ballots, those who have nothing to unlearn—these arc sure to come in great numbers to the party of liberality and sound economical views.

The Democratic party lias done itself and the country as well a great serrice and a great benefit by its stand for tariff reform and its opposition to monopoly and centralization of power. The canvass of 1884 will not be weighted down wi ll the mistakes and errors of that of four years ago. 3few views of public policy and greater breadth of statesmanship will mark its progress, and in this new and improved condition the Democratic party will occupy advantageous ground. The Republican party will be on the defensive, and its past political history as the friend of corporations and monopolists will not escape the intelligent judgment of the people who are to malice up the verdict. There- is not a wage worker in Evansville who would not be directly benefitted by a reduction of the tariff. Why should they not vote their interest in the coming election ? Tl-at’s what you have a republican government for workingmen. If the tariff is made the issue, as it certainly will be. Vanderburgh countv ought to cast a majority of 2,000 votes in favor of as large a reduction in tlte tariff as the revenue demands of the government will admit.—[Tribai e-Jiews. The remaining Greenback party will hoM lion at this city on the 22 rnary and go through the other trs of the a eonvenbcS of Febnsual form, Jtor State, real. ...
