MP- The Pike Cosotj Dense rat hae the lar> oeet dralattoa ef aay newspaper pahllahed hi Pike Ceeatj I Adrertleere will wake a aete ef thl* feet! Thursday, Kov. 27,1884. Indiana, it may be remarked, is a Democratic State. Gboveh Cleveland will be fgrtyeight years old in March. The outgoing Congress will convene in its fina' Session next Monday- ______ Ghat will commence business in Indianapolis the second week in January. Indiana is a manufacturing State and Indiana says that high tariff must be abolished. Civil service ‘reform was ignored by Republicans when in power; bnt how they will howl for its enforcement now. The total veto of Indiana this year was 489,732, against 470,738 in 1880, showing an increase of 18,994 votes iu the past years. Blaine didn’t vote for prohibition; and the Prohibitionsts didn’t vote for Blaine. That account appears to he about square. Down with war taxes! The people’s money must not be taken from he m to piled up in idle heaps in the treasury vaults.

Gov. Gray surrendered the Gubernatorial honors to Gov. Porter, and in January next Mr. Porter will repay the compliment ——————— There is one thing pretty certain. .^The Republican rebels, Moeby, Longstreet, Key, and some others, will not be “in the saddle” a,great while longer. Taxation must be exclusively for public purposes. This is what the people hare decided, and a Democratic administration will respect their decree. _ The Democratic busiuess men of New York have organized a Guard of Honor, 1,000 strong, to escort President elect Cleveland to -Washington* _ Chari.es W. Foloer, sou of the late Secretary Folger, and two sons of Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, the distinguished Republican advocate of New York, voted for Cleveland and Hendricks. There are but three railroads in this country that have retained their original names for thirty years. These are the Pennsylvania, tbe Michigan Central and the Baltimore and Ohio. . The Prohibitionists will start a paper at Indiauapolis, taking the Moni-tor-Journal as a base. * M. E. Shiel wili be business manager. They will seek no alliance, in the future with either party. Steve Elkins will have to give up the larger portion of the land which he deliberately stole from the people of the United States. This is even a sadder reflection to Stcvo than Blaine’s defeat The New Orleans exposition opens December 6th. The main building is completed. In the machinery department sixty-six boilers are in position. A system of water works supplies 3,- * 000,000 gallons of water daily. Western Democracy has made grand progress in the last few years. - With proper encouragement and support Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, • and probahly Minnesota and Nebraska, will be soundly Democratic in two years. With candidates for President and Yice President from the States of Illinois and Maine the Republican pfrty came into power, aud with candidates from the same States reversed in tbe order of positions, that party goes out ofpowor^^^^^ It looks a little like Mr. Tariff-for-revenue-only-exciusively, was going to take out his naturalisation papers and beooms a oitisen. —[Gibson county Leader. He has been a citisen since 1789, and will remain a citizen as loug as we have a free and independent government.—[Rockport Sentinel.

As a rule, the meu who talk about Democrats being rebels, are the men who remained at home and voted the Bepublicau ticket, while the gallant Democratic soldiers of Indiana, and every other State, were out fighting to preserve the Union. The cities of Indianapolis,, Evansville, Terre Haute, Ft. Wayne, New Albany and South Bend contain the hulk of Indiana manufacturers. Will some high "protective” tariff orator explain why the “free trade Democracy” gained about 5,000 votes in the counties where they are situated ? Undkh the law of Connecticut, to be elected Governor a man must have a majority vote. Gov. Waller, candidate for re-election, had a plurality of t.000, but as the third candidate bad . more than two thousand votes, he fails of election, which now goes to the Legislature. Waller is a Demo- , prat and the Legislature is Republican, hence he will be defeated. It ts a stupid law nnd ought to be irepoaled.

Tax Democratic Congress will derate itself to getting bade the immense tract of land belonging to the public domain, which the Republicans gave away to railroad corporations and English capitalists. The Democracy will hold the public lands for the people. j • New Yobk, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut, Democra tic—Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois Republican by very small pluralities, would indicate to the thinking mind that the Northern States were not so much in love with the Republican party at their organs would have us believe. The willow tree at Mt Vernon, which overshadows the tomb et Washington, was originally a clipping from a tree which overshadows the tomb of Napoleon, at St. Helena. It was brought to this country by an enthusiastic admirer of both Bonaparte and the father of his country. We learn from the report of the State board of agriculture that the corn crop of the State, notwithstanding the drought, will not vary 500 bushels from that of 1883. The wheat crop is second largest ever produced, and the yield of potatoes, which has become a crop of almost as much importance as wheat, is unusually large and of excellent quality. The Republicans claim to be the law and order party and yet St. John was hung in effigy in Kansas and Vermont, two of the strongest Republican states in the Union. Has Ben. Butler been hung in any Democratic statis even Georgia or Arkansas ? Yet St John was running as the nominee1 of a party fighting, or claiming to fight, for a high moral principle, while Butler was the thinly disguised tool of Blaine. In whatever condition other men may leave public office, W. W. Dudley, this State, has gone out. in shame. No man ever used a public position more ignobly than he did the Pension Bureau. Its whole power was wieldfor partisan purposes, with an utter disregard of all considerations of decency or policy. Dudley may, therefore, retire to his weli-earned shame with the assurance that the country knows and recognizes it

The total vote for Governor in this State is 495,091. The population corresponding to this number of votes— and it would be safe to increase it to half a million for “stay-at-home,” sick and absentees—is 2,500,000, au increase since 1880, when the population was 1,978,301, of full half a million, or over 100,000 a yeair. This is far beyond any increase in the previhistory of the State. The entire growth from ’70 to ’80 was a little short of 300,000. At this irate of incaease the population will tie 3,000,000 in 1890. __________ When the 4th of Marsh comes, Grover Cleveland will lack but fourteen days of being forty-eight years old. Only one younger man has been inaugurated President, and. that is U. S. Grant, whcf lacked some six weeks of being forty-seven years old when he entered the White House. Franklin Pierce was three months over fortyeight, and Arthur and Garfield were each a trifle less than fifty. All the other Presidents have been older, William Henry" Harrison, with his sixty-eight years, being the oldest of them all at taking the oath of office. “Vanderbilt’s contribution, Senator Gorman denies it, though the public believes it to be true.” The above head lines are takeu from the Indianapolis Journal. The Journal is evidently not in the confidence of the public. The public was astonished when it was first published that Mr. Vanderbilt had given $150,000 or any other sum to the Democratic national committee. Very few of the persons composing the American public believe the staternont All persons, save a few narrow minded partisans, believe the contradiction. The only ground for the assertion in the first place was Vuuderbilt’s congratulatory letter to Cleveland And why should he not have written it? Mr. Vanderbilt is the wealthiest and one of the most prominent citizens of the Uuited States. Mr. Cleveland has just been elected President Was there any just reason why Mr. Vanderbilt should not gracefully acknowledge the fact? Mr. Cleveland was no longer a candidate and Mr. Vanderbilt no longer a partisan. Brave men fight battles but when the war is over enmity ceases. But narrow minded partisans caniuot appreciate that principle. They can make no distinction between a candidate for the Presidency and a President elect For that reason many of them are still fighting the “rebels.” The Philadelphia Times says: “It is intimated that there aie enough Republican Stalwarts in the New York Legislature, united with the Democratic vote, to elect Roscoe Conkling to the United 6tates Senate. There is no iutimation that Conkling is seeking or desires a re-election; but neither the Democrats or the Stalwarts could do a wiser or a nobler act than to recall Roscoe Conkling to the Senate.

Conkling is the ablest 1 Republican statesman of the land, and his official skirts are clear of the stain of the jobbery. If called to the Senate free from party obligations, ho would be the leader of leaders in the new departure the nation is about to take in its administration. The great need of the Republic today is statesmen. It has politicians enough and to spare; it has jingo leaders in superabundance and crowds of worshipers of mean ambition jostling each other in the path to power; but statesmanship is fast becoming one of the lost arts of our free Government. In the present upheaval of parties, with the best elements of both sending Cleveland to the Presidential chair and the corrupt elements of both defeated with Blaine, who could build wiser or bettor than Boseoe Conkling? Discounting him by all Us Aults, he is none less the first [statesman of the Union, and the Senate and the country need him

The United States Semite may fell into the hands of the Democ racy yet The Cook County canvassing board has discovered that the figures for 6tate Senator in the second precinct of the eighth ward had been reversed, those be longing to Brand (Deni.) having becu counted for Leman (Hep.) and vice versa. This elects Brand by 10 majority and gives the Democrats the Legislature on joiut ballot The Legislature is to chooso n United States Senator to succeed Gen. Logan. If Riddleborger joins the Democrats and Conkling is elected from New York there will be a tie and in that case Mr. Hendricks of Iudiama would be no dead-oead in the enterprise. In fact he would run the whole business. —[Tribune News. Tariff Talk. Now that the election is over people will calmly think over and consider the great tariff problem. In onr judgment the subject should now be kept before them and discussed without partisan bias. In the Rockville Tribune, an Independent (taper in politics, we find the following concisely stated facts regarding this matter : “I n tho beginning, Comptroller Knox informed Congress that ths rapid payment of tho public debt was kuocking the basis from under tho banks, and they must stop it The roveuue was too big. Blaine proposed to devido all the surplus ainoug the States. Logan proposed to educate the Southern negroes with it. President Arthur recommended a “large reduction in the tariff" Congress appointed a Commission to revise it, and that Commission unanimously recommended a reduction ctf 25 per cent Congress, all this time Republican, did reduce the tariff about I per cent They took one cent a pound off sugar, and the price fell two cents; 3 cents off wool, and the price fell 8 cents. Then the Democrats in the next Congress proposed to carry out the recommendations of Arthur and the Commission, and straightway the Republicans began to denounce them as free traders. And nine-tenths of their voters would uot believe that a Republican President and Commission had recommended it And uow that tho fraud has served its turn in the election, the tariff will be reduced in due time, as first recommended, and in 1888 the party will brag about it"

THANKSGIVING. Democrats have cause to rejoice and be exceedingly glad. The magnificent results of the late election prove that their labors have not been in vain. Like good men and true they stood to their work, and by their principles. •‘Like clouds that rake the mountain summits, Or waves that own no curbing hand,” they swept the county, state and United States as a new broom that sweepeth clean. They have initiated a new era fraught with the greatest good to all the people. Henceforth we have a government of the people, by the pjople and for the people. No more class legislation. No longer will the masses pay tribute to the few. Henceforth every man is put upon his good behavior. Hiis success will dejiend upon his soundness of brain, goodness of heart, industry and economy—in short, upon his merit. In so? far as laws are concerned, each will have an equal chance with all the others in the race of life. Sectional lines are obliterated and sectional hatred buried. Henceforth we know no North, no South, no East, no West, but have a union in reality as well as in name. The North joins hands with the South, aud the East with the West, and pledge fidelity to each other and to our common country. With the people’s party in power, and a tariff for revenue only,this country will blossom as the rose and flourish as the green bay tree. It is enough. We ask no more. The people of the United States have more to thank God for than they ever had! before. With one*aecord we join with John Greenleaf Whittier^, saying: It is clone 1 Clang: of bell and roar of gun— Bend 'the tidings up and down. How the belfHes rook and reel! How the great guns, peal on peal, Xling the joy from town to town 1 Ring, O bells I Ever]' stroke exulting tells Of the burial honr of crime. Loud and long, that all may lisar, Ring for every listening ear Of eternity and time I Let us kneel: God’s own voice is in that peid, And this spot is holy ground. Lord, forgive us 1 What are we, That our eyes this glory sse. That our ears have heard the sound! For the Lord On the whirlwind is abroad; In the earthquake he has spoken; He hue smitten with his thunder The iron walls asunder, And the gates of brass are broken I Loud and long Lift the old exulting song; jj Sing with hliriam by the sea:: He hits east the mighty down ; Horae and rider sink and drown; He hits triumphed gloriously 1

via ire dare, In our agony of prbyer, Ask for more than herhas done? When was ever his right hand Over any time or land Stretuhed as now beneath the sun? How they pale, Ancient myth and song and tale. In this wouder of onr days, When the oruel rod of war Blossoms white with righteous law, And the wrath of man is praise! BiotU*l out I All within and all about .1 Shall a fresher life begin; Freer breathe the universe As it rolls it heavy curse On the dead and buried sin. It is done! In the circuit of the sun Shall the sound thereof go forth. It shall bid the sad rejoice - It shall give the dumb a voice, It shall belt with joy the earth ( Bing ttnd swing, Bfellsof joyf On morning's wing Send the song of praise abroad! With a sound of broken chai ns, Tell the nations that He reigns, Who alone is Lord and God!

The Clrere on the Top ef the Tower. BY D. E. HUNTER. The following is from the gifted pen of Prof. D. E. Hunter, who wag for a number of years superintendent of the city schools at Washington, Ind. He has written a great deal for the press that is worthy of note, and this is the latest that has come to our notice: Nor*.—Every stranger visiting Greensburg, ind., notices the well shaded -grounds about the court house and the school buildings. and the numerous shade trees along the streets. Some years ago the county officers. and many other leading citizens, planted and maintained the trees now in the court house park; and the good result of this action encouraged others, and now most of the streets are well shaded. The wonder of the place, however, is a miniature grove, growing out of the stones that cap the top of the court house tower. About fourteen years ago a small twig was noticed growing out of a crevice in the rook on ton of the tower; others have since appeared, and now there are seven. One is four inches in diameter and nine feet high, with spreading branches. The smallest is about eight inches high and has seven leaves. They are eighty -live feet from the earth, inaccessible to man, exposed to the severest cold and greatest droughts, with no sustenance hut what they may obtain from the clouds, air and solid limestone, and yet they live and thrive. They are not maples, aa many suppose, but some kind of poplar; the leaves are aspen in character. The wonders of nature are many, I ween, They come to my mind in a shower, But where may so wondrous a wonder he As the grove on the tap of the tower. It troubled my dreams, it puzzled my brain, Til ina and Pearl with this flower Came in, and the wonderful wonder made plain. Of the grove on the top of the tower. They said they were rambling—Pearl told me herself, And stopped to admire this flower, When in it, a fairy, they heard tell an elf, Of the grove on the top of the tower. THE STORY TOLD BY THZ FAIRY: “It is many and many a year ago, Since the men who wielded the power Determined to plant and determined to grow A gaove at the foot of the tower. They planted, they watered and they waited long For the shade of the leaiy bower; At length the reward of their labors came, In the grove at the foot of the tower. Then gathered the people with shovela all round, Having olosed shop, office and store, They plant in the streets and extend to the town, The grove at the foot of the tower.

In the shade of the maples, as busy as beer, Their children play by the hour, And bless tha men who planted the trees In the grove at the foot of the tower. Hie angels looked down from their home above, And 6miled on those men of power, And said ‘we’ll plant, yes, plant them a grove. On the topmost stones of the tower? By the light of the stars the deed was done, As the clock tolled the midnight hour, They planted the seed in the solid stone, For a grove on the top of the tower. The seeds were warmed by the mining sun And watered by the evening shower. And soon from a cleft in the rock there sprung The embryo grove on the tower. 'With spreading branches and quivering leaf, It formed a beautiful bower, From which while the children played beneath, The angels watched on the tower. And ao the good deeds of the good old men Who plauted the leafy bower, Provoked the angels to smile again, * ; From the grove ou the top of the tower. It is thus they smile on deeds below, That are done for a future hour, And that none forget, they have caused to grow A grove on the top of the tower. May God bless the angels, and God bless the men Who plant for a future hour. And God bless the shade of the maplee, and then The grove on the top of the tojver.” A U WIUOM, K a.

How Watch Cases an Wade. The many great improvement* introduced in the manufacture of the Jaa. BW Gold Watch Case, have led to similar improvements in the Smklng of silver cause. Under the old methods, each part of a (frrar case was made of several piece* of metal soldered together, requiring a grew! amount of catting and soldering, which softened the metal and gave it the pliability of lead rather than the elasticity of silver. _ Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case k mad* of one solid piece of metal hammered into shape. The advantages are readily apparent, for every one knows that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softens it. To test the superiority of the Keystone Silver Watch Case, take one of S os. weighs press it squarely in the center when closed, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of any other make will give enough to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with silver 09 end gold joints. Iwdlwtt rtsspha lejtlsu VMA Cm* VMm(kyy^ MtUi.n.arn.to.ni.aa.ttMemewavWv SwMiSMuliiSIlKnM, t~ *- ’—‘■••mil) * . ASH
