IXemooratio County Central Committee. The Democratic Central Committee of Pike county is composed of the following named gentlemen, to-wit: iUBT 1'LXK.fiK, Chairman.. Ww. p. Ksioht, Secretary.

Mr. Richardson is ready for trial at the coming term of court, and don't yo-u forget it. What is Republican economy? It is to eat oysters, drink beer and draw out of tho-county treasury $18 per day. Republican equal and exact justice is this: laboring men, fifty cents per day; experts, after campaign thunder, $18 ijerday. Nearly three thousand dollars of the people’s money squandered by Republicans and not one cent ha9 been and never will be refunded. Emancipate yourselves is the watchword of the laboring men. No American citizen musbie a slave to monopoly -w any other power. The baid-rtm tax burdened people of the county are praying this prayer: ■"How long. Lord, oh! how long will this $18 per day business continue ? The Indianapolis Times says Gen. Grant is a disloyal man, is training with traitors, and would vote to remove the treason* from Jeff Davis. The Democratic National Committee have decided to hold the National Convention for the purpose! of nominating the next President of the-Uni-ted1 States, at Chicago, on the eighth day of July. Eternal vigilance is the priee of liberty, was truthfully said long ago. ' The remark applies with startling ' rerce to this country to-day in view of tlic constant cncroSthments of monopoly and centralization on the rights of the people. If the Copyright bill becomes a law, several dailj-papers using “plates” of telegraphic newswill be smothered.—GreensUtirg Standard. And what will be the eft'eet upon country papers generally ? The congressman who votes for the bill will have a good time securing a re-elec-tion. The attempt of Charles Foster to throw cold water on Arthur’s presidential prospects by declaring that the President, it renominated, could not by any possibility, carry Ohio, is received with a .good deal of bitter feeling in influential quarters, and thu leaders who recognize the absolute necessity of carrying that State are decidedly unhappy. Dorsey continues in the role of President-maker. A Washington dispatch says: One ot the curious incidents of the political situation in that General Logan and General Arthur should have made overtures to Stephen W. Dorsoy during his visit hero after he had denounced each of them in strong terms Hast summer, logon and Dorsey met and became reconciled, and Mr. Richard Crowly represented the President at different conferences with i he acquitted star router Dorsey holds' many interesting papers in a safe deposit in New York ivhich may eipiain the milk in the cocoa not.

The author claims to have proof that Queen Victoria was secretly married to John Brown shortly after the death of the royal consort. He claims that Disraeli discovered tthc fact, and through threatening to disclose: it secured his advancement. The collated evidence in support of remarkal his book. an; Fl*ese son is in aoe answer inem Mr. Richardbis ind have it published in the paper? This is thin indeed. Almost as thin «s J.

He is to prove himself innocent, them to prove him d they can’t - arf 11 ltd sold

,- Th* President is sard to be trembling lest Dorsey sliall b«ng out some of his letters written' during the canvass of 1880. There is no apparent reason for this fear. Nothing secret or unpublished cadi add anything to the public exhibition the vice president elect made-of himself at a ba nquet given in honor of Dorsey in New York just after the election. The feeling mauner in which he spoke of Dorsey’s services Tin the dispensation of “soap” and tilings is down in black and white to rendor unnecessary any fear about anything else that can come out. The experience of the past teaches that the Republican leaders are not to be trusted; that they will resort to any and every measure to retain tlieir hold on power. They stole the presidency in 1876 and bought it with funds taken by Dorsey from the public treasury in 18S0.- There are now in the vaults of the public treasury at Washington nearly $394,000,000. 31 the Republican leaders think -an “emergency” exists in the coming canvass, they will open the vaults of the treasury and attempt to again buy the presidency. The people willj never be honestly treated until there is a change in the administration.

The Republicans are sick of the investigation. They have a bear by the tail and want some one to help them let go. They don’t want any trial until after the election. They know a trial will result in Mr. Richardson’s vindication, and they know if he is vindicated before the election that they can't elect a siugle officer in Pike county. Hence they want to put off the trial until after the .election. They want to put the blame of postpone men ton Mr. Richardson. In this they are mistaken. Mr, Richardson is ready for trial. If they don’t believe it, jus ; let them announce themselves ready s.rnl they will see. Mr. R. can file hill answer on the second day of court anil be ready for trial on the third. By all means let the talk of a soldiers’ monument continue. The Demotnat favors the monument move! ment, but wlieu tlie delegates meet in county convention let resolutions bo passed favoring the passage of Sana> tor Voorhees’ bill - to equalize the bounties of soldiers. That means justice to the soldiers. Let resolutions be passed requesting Senator Harrison to take some interest in Senator Voorhees' bill. Let resolutions be passed asking the Republican press of. the State to say - something in favor of justice to the soldiers by equalizing their bounties. The Republican organs aud orators go too much on monument and too little in favor of a measure of justice already too long delayed. The gold bugs and their organs keep up a continuous yawp about the accumulation of silver dollars in the treasury. What are the facts in the case? The silver coin and bullion in the treasury amounts to $128,000,000, and the silver certificates to $97,400,000. That is to say the silver represented by certificates is in circulation, helping the business of the country , consequently the silveyin the treasury belonging to the government amounts to only $30,000,000. about ,33 cents per capita of population, and the entire amount, coin and bullion, is only about $2.32 per capita, and yet the gold bugs demand; a halt in coining silver dollars. In; France the silver in circulation per capita is about $10. The gold bugs can’t have their walkjust now. Tniinc is an immense amount of money in. the treasury of the United States which lias been wrung from the toiling millions who'labor for a ll they get. How much of that surplus will find its way into Republican corruption funds, for the purpose of carrying the next; election bv fraud ? How many of the thousands wl:-o have seen their families suffer for ti e common comforts, of life because the money Which should have provided comforts went to pay taxes, aud of the other thousand? who have sein their property sold to pay taxes, will be ready to accept a part of that su rplus as the price for voting to co itinue this state of. a 11 airs? How many men will suffer themselves to be bribed with a $2 to-vote a $10 tax upon themselves ? If it was possible to produce the statistics which would correctly answer these questions, it would startle the world.—[Pauli News. The Petersburg Press lias always bad the reputation of being unscrupulous and unreliable, bnt of all its former proprietors there was not one hut what was too well informed and too cautious to publish cither through ignorance or malice anything and assert it to be a fact that every school boyin the land knew to be a falsehood. It remained for Gladish to do that. Not content with asserting that the -

Free Tunreifces, or Gravel Beads. Now, while mud is axle deep and an empty wagon is a load for two horses, the mind naturally turns to the subject of the improvement of the roads. The statutes provide far free turnpikes, or gravel roads,the host and cheapest road improvements in the world. The people of Clay township will present to the Board of Commissioners a petition for the building of such a road from Union to this, place. J Whereupon the Board will appoint three disinterested freeholders of the county as viewers and a surveyor to view -said road, and determine! whether it will be of public utility I and make such change s^n the road as may seem desirable in the way of straightening it, estimate the cost of building the same, and to make a report of their proceedings at the June session of Commissioners’ court. If the viewers report favorable to such improvement and the Boord shall be of the opinion that public utility requires it they will order the improvementanade. For the purpose of meeting the expenses the Commissioners issue bonds of the county, maturing at intervals from tiro to eight years at a rate of interest not to exceed six per cent. These expenses are assessed

upon all the laud within two utiles of said road from one end to the other according to the benefit each tract derives from said road, and within the eight years, in very small annual portions are refunded to the couuty treasury. Theis road first builtat the county's expense and the mojney refunded to %he county afterwards. Thus the people have the benefits of the road long before paving! for it. The benefits each land owner will derive from the road the first two years will amount to more than he will pay out in the whole eight years. This road when completed will give an enhanced and permanent value to all. the lands assessed-with the cost thereof; will ail'ord a cheap and easy transportation to market of all products of the soil, and will'be of greater value to the people immediately concorlied.and to the whole county than a dozen railroads won Id be. It will in effect bring the county scat and the railroad here to the door, as it were, of all the people along and near to said road. We hope there will be no relaxation of the cfl’oYts in that behalf until the road is completed, and when once completed the people would not have it abandoned for five times what "it cost them. Let it be hnilt by all means. THE EEPUBIJCAHPASTY MUST GO. A Bepubiican Journal Gives Seasons That are Conclusive. . [From the Now York Times.]! Take the star route fraudfs as au example. The vast majority; of the people of the United States are couvinc^t that many millions of dollars were stolen by a combination of mail contractors and public officials. They Witnessed an attempt to bring the guilty parties to justice. The exposition of the frauds made it dear beyond the possibility of a doubt that there were groups of contractors, numbering in all more than aihaker’s dozen of individuals. Alter a year’s preparation, with all the resource? of the government supposed to lie at the command of the officers of [justice, only one of the smallest of these different groups was brought j to the criminal bar. More than a year was consumed in the trial of this group, luring which the government disbursed in lawyers fees alone more than twodhirds as much as the conspirators were alleged to have stolen. Long before the trials were concluded it was apparent to every intelligent man, woman and child in the country that the so called prosecution was farcical, and the acquittal of ; the accused was not unexpected. In a pubic address the Attorney General declared that during two years more ‘ban $-1,000,000 had been stolon from he public treasury hv these bands ot plunderers, and two years have since ‘lapsed without a dollar of the money being recovered or a single thief being punished. Has there been any pubic ou’ery at this miscarriage of jusice. Have there been any evidences if popular discontent at the .manifest ncom potency, to use no ‘harsher :erm, of the publie prosecutors ? How :s this supiueness of (lie people to he ‘.(•counted for? Only upon §hfetheory, he all-pervading conviction that the government is tiie legitimate prey of dl who can successfully rob it of millions. The government is an abstraction to the people "in times of iieace and general prosperity. They ragilely recognize the fact that they ire the government, and that they aave been robbed—but in the;abstract >f an ingnitesinial sum. A series of wholesale robberies, by highwaymen ir burglars, in <a community, Would cause intense local excitement, and rouse every man .to desperation, and if the public authorities failed to do dieir duty a vig'ilunee committee would speedily set Judge Lvncli at work. ! * It is openly charged .by (he Indianapolis lournal that the history of the United States itrce the year 1S60 is not allowed to be taught n the public schools ot that State -tComiucrrial Gazette. t

yn, no i 1 nave it all wrong. It is only the city schools that are not I allowed the history of the war and they are under Republican management and influence. As Indiana sent more Democrats to the armv than Republicans perhaps therein lies the reason of the history’s absence from ths Public School curriculums.-—[ln-llauapolis Sentinel. The Rockville Tribune puts some pertinent questions to any good Republican editor who thinks he is able :o answer them. It says: “We should like some good orthodox Repubicau editor to explain how they ran reconcile hcec positions; they atl admit that'I he revenue s too large and ought to be reduced; they all >!>po*e reducing the tariff, and they all oppose ■educing the whisky tax. They must sec that f the present taxation continues it will destroy he National Bank system In three years, and hey, of course, oppose that. Now one of three hing* it must be; abol'sh the tobacco and thisky tax, or lower the tariff, or destroy the latioaal hanks. Which oae arc ycu in faror ft” Which one are you in favor" of? fliat is the question. The Demoratic party has signified its intenion to make sent in the tariff. Bnt rhat donthe Reptihiicans propose? . to far as we are able to understand f 1, their position is that they are ot>- , used to the Democratic party’s doing ' nything, and fefnse to do anythin? e [umweivea—[ Bvanmlle 5?ews.‘ *

Republican Promises. Keep it. before the people tl/at the Republican party in this county, in order to cateh votes, adopted the following as one of the planks ot theii platform, and pledged themselves publicly and privately, to carry it out ill good faith : “Resolved, Thai; we belie ve the county printing, including the 'Sheriffs printing and the delinquent list, should fce given to the paper printed in the county that will do the work for the least money, and. we pledg e ourselves that if successful we will give the county printing to the paper that will do it for the least money.’’ Not withstanding this oledge they hare persistently refused to receive bids for the county printing; have persistently refused to let the printing to the lowest bidder, and, although the Democrat has otiered time and again to do all the county printing for less than one half what is paid the Press, and still offers to do it for less than one-half, yet the Republican officials go on prying the Kress more than double wlia.t the Democrat has offered and still offers to do the same work for. This is the way they keep their pledges to the people. They promise any and everything to catch votes and then squander the people’s money in violation of their promises. Important Legal Decision. Some" time ago the Supreme Cow decided that city tax sales madi privately w we void, because the lav providing for pri vate tax sales is uu constitutional. A few days since i stiff more sweeping decision wai made, holding that county tax sale1 made privately are also void, becausi the law under which such sales ar< made is unconstitutional. This is i sad blow to tax sale sharks. “Protection in a nnt shell, means A riiiht for certain classe s A little law that i ntervenes To help them rob the raa&sea. The rich may put their price* high.

(Cmtmaedf ran taut mmt.) /fojr Watch Cases are Made. The many great tm$ro*eraent* introdaced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boas’ Gold Watch Case,'hare led to simila r improvements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, each part, of • 6ilrer case was made of several pieoes of metal soldered together, requiring a great amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal sed gave it the plia bility of lead rather than the elasticity of rilvor. Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is in ado of one solid piece of metal hammered into shape, The advantages are readily apparent, for every ono knows that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softenait. To test the superiority of the Ke,-stone Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oa. weight, press it squarely in the center when eloecd, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of any others make will give enough to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made q*ly with silver cap andgoldjoiafe m,'js^ Bead t «at t/Yrr-toao TTUok&oo V»l< VMhr BlfUa, !’x.,nr tutax IWUntod r» ,eB> d Im» Box* OK* K>r»lo>o Woioh Coon uoauSo.
