There is talk of the Government buying a sword of Washington now owned in Baltimore. General Washington had several swoids. But there was never more than one true cherrytree hatchet. Let the Government buy and preserve that hatchet. “"“Hr 1781 there werel5,OO0 Methodists In the United States 2,030 in the Northern States and 13,000 ip the southern section, with 81 ministers.

Sanitarians say that the maximum density of population compatible with health, is one hundred persons per acre. There are thirty-one districts in Now York City in which the rate of population ranges from 580 to 1,506 inhabitants per acre, or at the rate <*f 371,481 to 1,022,667 tp the square mile. Our Dcmacratie exchanges throughout the State are rejoicing over the recent elections. It seems that the Democrats carried at least three-fourths of the cities and towns. A great many of them for the first time in a number of years. Set Indiana down for at least 10,000 Democratic majority next November. Ip the tax of fifty per cent, placed ou woolen goods, for protective purposes, was removed bow many bushels of wheat would it require at one dollar a bushel to pay for that suit of clothes that you paid fifteen dollars for the other day, and how much cheaper, if any, would it make your wheat ? This is respectfully referred to Republican farmers of Pike county. II W, Burch, the editor ot the Dawn, a Greenback paper published at Indianapolis, was arrested some three weeks ago and taken to Richmond, upon the charge of forgery. Ris trial came up.hist week, and on the advice of his attorneys he entered a plea of “Guilty,” and Judge Ki i>ley Jet him off with the lightest sentence the law allows—a flue of $10 and a two year’s term in the penitentiary.

The New York Times (Rep.) says : **1116 Democrats in the House of ’Hopresentatives have at last managed to do some tiling in the direction of fulfilling their promise to relieve’ the country of the burdens- imposed by excessive or oppressive taxation. They passed, on Saturday, a bill tor the relief of American shipping, which reduces the absurd aind complex ’restrictions on owning and operating steam vessels. The-following resolution presented l»y John MLMcConnel to the Demo* craitic convention on the 1st inst, and which was adopted by that bodV, wits not handed to t he secretary aud consequently failed to appear last week : itemtamf.

Thu Republicans are strangling with the temperance question. It will noit down. Two years ago they champioukd prohibition^ They qptrid get on nicely*;.with the tempeffwiec question if it Were not for the liquor inch, nud with the liquor men they are All '“hunky’’ but fbr theft* fear of tlii temperance question. When they make love to one taction “the other dear charmer” gets jealous. We would suggest to the Republican brother-! hood to be one thing or the other. In the long run it pays. The enacting clause of the Morrjj son bill was stricken out, on motion of Converse, Democrat of Ohio, on Tuesday of last week, the vote being 158 to 151. Forty-one Democrats voted With the Republicans for the motion and three Repu blicans with the Democrats against.'* The action does not defeat tariff reform; it merely delays it. The Demociffttio party is fairly on record in favor of reduced taxation, and only' the infamous and un perdurable infidelity of Mr. Randall, and his truckling Democratic followers prevented relief from the onerous burden at this time. The Democrats declare that a tariff reform measure must pass and that they will stay at Washington till a measure of relief shall have been enacted, if it takes till Decern brr. State Superintendent of Public Instruction, John Wi Holcombe, has issued a letter to the school trustees in which he urges the vast importance of equalizing the school terms in the townships. Ho says, “You have no more important dutt than this. I recommend that in the meeting of your board of education, you determine how long a term you will have throughout the county. This should not be less than seven months, (140 days,) and longer if possible.” He suggests that each trustee make sufficient levies of tuition and special school revenues to meet any existing liabilities, and to support the schools of his to wship the length of time determined upon by the county board. “Fo not,” he says, “leave the selection of teachers to school meetings. It is not legal, and is very apt to breed ill feeling in a district.”

Two weeks from to-morrow, Friday, May 30th, is Decoration Day. We hope the people of Pike couuty will celebrate the day iu a manner that will do honor to those who lost their lives upon the battlefield or in southern prison si Old soldiers, who know the perils of;army life, should remember their dead comrades by devoting one day in the year to decorating their last resting place, and in recalling the virtue and bravery of those who were loss fortunate than themselves. The l>*!y of many a brave mart was burned into the grave by strangers’ hand and Is sleeping beneath an unmarked, mound, but it is enough for auv patriotic citizens to know that he wae fighting for his country’s cause. We hope every citizen will take a personal interest in this matter and that the day will be observed in a manner worthy the object for which it is set apart. Toe Princeton Illarion ahdthc Gibson County Leader, both Republican papers, for some reason best known tc themselves, have given to the world false account of the proceedings of tin Democratic convention held at Wius: low on the 1st inst. Their malicious falsehoods are mainly directed at E. A. Ely, Pike county’s choice judge. They labor bard to make thj) impression that the county did not inj instruct for him forjudge. The faci are as follows: When the convention was thoroughly organized a resol lion was introduced authorizing tl delegates to the judicial convention tjj> cast the vote of Pike county as a unit for Mr. Ely for judge, when some one moved to amend by adding the name of A. II. Taylor for prosecuting attorney, then an amendment to the amendment was offered authorizing tljte delegates to cast the vote of the county as a unit for Mr. Ely forjudge arj[d tor whomsoever Dubois county prk sents to the judicial convention bar prosecuting attorney. At this juncture E. P. Richardson moved that tlie resolution as last amended be laid |>n the tabic, which motion was put by

tne enair ana votea flown, rnpn James Barker made the point that the amendment was out of order whil-h was sustained by the chair. From this rifling of the chair and appeal was overwhelmingly sustained, 'flilen the cliaij- took the vote on the resolution as last amended, instructing for Mr. Ely for judge and for whomjsoever Dubois county might name for prosecutor, and the resolution wasjal-' most unanimously adopted, there ing 600 votes in favor to 40 or against it, afte- which the chair nounced that, the: resolution was ado iv 50 pted. These are the facts in the case, ear wd ys; arcf the Clarion, the Leader and Osr Trippett to the contrary notwithstanding. Even the Editor of the Presg, whose renom toward Demo< racy knows no bounds, in speaking cf this resolution says: “but finally the president put the motion to the cr< ’ and It was carried,” and again he ss j “it was evident that Ely had the gest following.” The convention was composed the best men in the county, representative Democrats, and they supported Mr. Ely most cheerfully and heartily, notwithstanding the vigorous efforts of four or five men to defeat him. Wo understand that the Du|bois Democrat who misinformed the Clarion and Leader of the action ofj our convention was- none other than1 Oscar Trippett, Who made himself especially obnoxious on that day by dictating to our people whomlthey should choose forjudge, and by! circulating reports concerning Mr: Ely that were about as truthful as the report he gave to the PH nee ton papers. Mr. Tripett has added nothing to his standing by the course he has taken

The Old Republican Policy. fNew York Snn.] When tlie Democrats carried the Hopse of Representatives to the For-ty-fourth Congress they were opposed in their efforts for retrenchment and reform bv a Republican Senate and a Republican President ”j ' * "* The first session of that Congress, however,, resulted in a redaction of thirty millions in the expenditures; The bills of the House would have saved forty millions, but the Senate, led by John Sherman, succeeded in curtailing Hie tronchmont to the extent of ten millions. There tv as no strain on the public service in consequence. This great work was achieved without dislocating a bolt in the official machinery. The result proved how much the reform was needed. The Democrats are again in control of the House of Representatives, confronted as they were in 1§75 with a Republican Senate and a Republican President. Mr. Randall, now as then iff Chairman of the Appropriations. That committee proposes to revive the policy of retrenchment and reform. The bills of the committee have been carefully prepared, in pursuance ot this policy, after reviewing the estimates and collecting information Which the estimates do riot furnish'. They allow abundant money fc-r all he just needs cjf the Government. They discard experimental legislation, find they reject recommendations .vhich are properly distrusted. But the Senate renews the opposition which the Republican's exhibited in that body eight years ago. Two important bills have already beeiii resumed to the House, with ten millions Su round numbers added to them. The Navy bill has over six and a half millions of Senate amendments! and the Post Office bill carries back dvSr three millions. Some of these amendments fife entirely new legislation, and were adopted with a foreknowledge that the House could not, j consistently with its programme, accept them. J The Senate, therefore, virtually menaces the body which has the public purse in keeping with a resort .to extreme measures in case the Representatives refuse to surrender their judgment to offensive dictation. If the Senate insists arbitrarily bn the enormous increase of expenditures, the Republicans must take the pousequenees. _

Words of Wisdom, t [XeMr York Sun.j Daring the past twenty-three years the Democrats have controlled the House of Representatives for six years, and the House and the Senate together for one Congress only, up to the recovery of the present House. They found extravagance, jobbery and corruption recognized and established by legislation and by the action of the Executive Departments. They reduced the public expenditures 1100,000,000 in this short lime without the least detriment to the public service. They starved the lobby out. of Washington, they enforced retrenchment, and they compelled the administration then in power, to respect the w ill of the people, reflected through their immediate representatives in Congress. The Republicans regained possession of the House in the Forty,-seventh Congress, after this exclusion of six consecutive years. They immediately resumed the course ot prodigality which had driven them Irom: power in 187jl. Secor Robeson was their cliosen leader, with Keiter in the chair. The lobby revived and smarmed again into the capital, The monitor job, which had been condemned, and hidden out of view from 1877, was brought forth and vitalized,: and a million of dollars was given to it directly, exclusive of the indirect grants for the “use and occupation! of the yards of the contractors,” and |for other purposes. Four new ships were ordered, stmt the contracts were all given to one bidder, who had for years been the favorite of Secor Robeson while that jobber was at she head of the Navy Department. j At the first opportunity the people rejected this venal majority, and restored the Democrats to the' control of the public purse by an overwhelming vote. A Republican Administration and a Republican Scuate stand in the way of reform, as they did eight years ago, and Mr. Hotmanand Mr. Townshcnd, who had charge of the postofiice nppropriatioyrbili, were lately confronted by this sort of an opposition all through the stages of its progress. In the course of the discussion,-Mr. Holman said: “The bane and evil of ydtrr public service is this everlasting increase ol salaries. You are creating in the public departments of mere mercenary sentiment in regard to public duty, instead of yoar officers being: actuated by the higher motive of performing faithfully a duty beneficial to the government and to the whole people. “If there Is any one quality necessary to preserve the very foundations on which our free .institutions rest, it is honesty in your government, aud you will not have integrity unless you have economy.” These are practical truths, worthy of serious-thought.

There is about the same amount of justice iij the present high tariff laws as there would be in compelling four small boys to stand out iq the rain to hold an umbrella over a strong man to “protect” him1 from the rain. There laws ane “protection” to the great big monopolist, br»t they are mighty hard on the little fellows holding the protection.' Ik toe last nine year's tbs losses by fire in the United States and Canada aggregate $778,642,5158 greater, than the real estate and personal property in sixteen States and Territories. But it requires nearly this much every year to pay tire bar bill of Great Britain, not taking into account the many and great losses resulting from indulgence iii'intoxicating drinlrs. ©if the 6th instthe Democrats of ConneCsville, Ind., elected their Mayor and a majority of the Connctlmen, and now hav<rfull control of the city tot the first tjme in its hintory.

Not Dead. [Indianapolis Sentinel. J No, not dead—the Morrison bill-^ simply sleepiug. I t sought to reduce taxation in the interest of the people. The principle business is vital. It can not. be killed. It will come to the front continuously, The Democratic majority in Congress, 'by presenting the measure, obeyed the’ wishes <^f a vast majority of the people, and the fact will develop to grander proportions until the representatives of monopoly in Congress will not be able to defeat honest mehsnres of reform. There are 335 Representatives in the Forty-eighth Congress, classified as follows: Democrats.<.,.,. 1C6 Republicans . 118 Democratic majority... 78 Independent Democrats.2 All others. .*1—11

Pemocratie njajoritf over iill. 6T The vote to strike out the enacting clause of the Morrison bill stood: Ayes, 150; nays, 151. Of the 118 Republicans; three voted with the Democrats, and of 190 Uemricvat s; fbrtvone voted with the Republicans— about 20 percent, .of the entire Democratic vote of the House. There were some pairs, but our figures answer the purpose of our argument and are approximately correct. The fact that about 30 per cent of the Democratic vote of the House favors the Morrison bill, stamps it as a Democratic measure; that is to say, a measure which has the support of eight-tenths of the Democratic party of the country. Hence it may be said that the principles embodied in the Morison bill will be asserted when the Democratic National Convention assembles, and nntst of necessity be made an important plank in the platform in the Presidential campaign of 1884. . While we regret the attitude of Democrats who deemed it proper to form an alliance with Republicans, and ca6t their votes against the policy of reform'in the matter of taxation, we do not regard their action of sufficient importance to seriously jeopardize the success of the Democratic party in the coming campaign. 'On the contrary, their actions brings into bolder prominence than ever before the reform policy ot the Democratic party. What arc the facts which the people will be most likely* and most anxious to consider? First: They will inquire what was the special purpose of the Morrisou bill ? The answer is ready. Reduce unjust, burdensome and unnecessary taxation. Again. The people will inquire: To what extent is this unjust taxation carried by tiie policy of the Republican party ? Here, again, the answer, based upon incontrovertible facts, is at hand : The amount annually taken from the pockets of the people for which the Government has no legitimate use reaches $100,000',000. Just here the Morrison bill comes into prominence. It sought to reduce this enormous burden of taxation $30,000,000 annually; and the n>cu who voted to kill the Morrison bill voted to perpetuate a stupendous wrong. The Republican party will come before the people and ask them to indorse its action. The matter is now up for debate; the case is fairly stated; the people will com prehend its meaning; subterfuges will be exposed. The Democratic*battio-ery will be, “Dowu with taxation!” and the people will rally . to defeat rascality. We shall have' all the senseless changes rung on “free trade” and the “disturbance of business.” Monopoly clap-trap will deluge the land. The champions of the venal crew who demand that the people shall be taxed that they may dress in purple stud flue linen and roil in luxury, will put forth their mightiest energies;- but the people will still demand that unjust taxation shall be reduced and that the Government shall he honestly and economically administered. The Democratic party has lost no strength. Forty-one Democrats cast their' votes with 115 lie-, publicans to defeat the Morrison bill. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTYEIGHT Democrats voted to* sustain the Morrison bill, and that fact places the Democratic party in the van as the party of reform.

Franklin, who was then traveling for an Easteran house, and i6 known to merchants in all parts of the couutry. “The risk which, indeed amounts almost to a certainty-^-of getting the dyspepsia from perpetual change of diet and water from having fixed hours for eating and sleeping. I myself was an example. Isay was, for i am all right ntrtt.”. “No discount on yoiir digestion?” broke m a Chicago dry goods' traveler, lighting his cigar afresh. “Not a quarter per cent But I had to give np traveling for a while.
