Jerry Mandkr has been hustled pretty lively during the last week or two. For many years he has done jt the work of Barnum's contortionist, aud^ve trust is able to stand the work . he note has to do, assisted by a good * audience of voters. Drnixii the year ending September 30,1884, in Indiana there were 237 deaths from diphtheria, 590 from typhoid fever, 178 from scarlet fever, 147 from eerebro spinal fever, an even It)') from smallpox, 152 from whooping cough and 124 from measles.

EXIT ARTHUR! , ENTER CLEVELAND! ‘Crow, Chapman Crow!’! People who have much to do with the collection or arranging of news, ’ and observant readers of newspapers, I says the Cincinnati Post, have noticed f the habit of accidents, particular of ! fatalities, to come in groups. The ! same thing frequently happens with j crimes. A peculiarly horrible crime in the East will be likely to have a counterpart in the West, and possibly also in the South, within a day or so. ; In one instance the very curious coin- ' eidenee happened of almost exactly parallel cases of wife murder in the very same horrible way, on the same day, and nearly at the same hour, yet several hundred miles apart. For the past, several days the newspapers have been full of accouuis of accidents. On last Saturday two railroad accidents happened within a few miles of Cincinnati. On Sunday another occurred on a Cincinnati road, and about the same time a collision on the Midland road, near Washington, killed five men, while several minor accidents occurred in as many different directions. lint railroad accidents are always liable t'o happen. Railroad men on many reads have a sort of superstition that when ohe happeus it will he followed hv two others. It would be singular if their expectations were not met, sooner or later, yet they seeni to breathe freer when the numberis complete:!. On Saturday, also, a fire in Philadelphia cost several lives. A whole family were burned to death in New York. Six persons were burned to death by an explosionof natural gas at Wedsburg, W. Va. In New Britain, Conn., thirteen buildings were burned, and one life was lost. A little care and research would enable the list of similar groups to he extended to great length. Who can account for this singular hijhit ? There seems to be a good field hero for the exercise of ingenious simulation. Every patriotic citizen desires that j Cleveland may succeed-*that the Government may prosper'. The Democratic party will he well tried by its own acts, and the applause its mem-g hers receive for their work in' the j public service will he dependent upon ) the people's judgment of its; merits, j A party-tl.at merits a reward will get j it. If affairs are not administered aeonomically, and with conservatism and common sense, the |caders will hear something drop, as did the Republican party in the last campaign. The Democratic party fully comprehends this and will no doubt be equal to flic emergency. 4 Following is a list of names and terms of Governors of the State of Indiana from 1810 to the present lime: Jonathan Jennings, 1816-22; William Hendricks, 1822-5; James B. Uav, 1825-31; Noah Noble* 1831-7; David Wallace, 1837-40; Samuef Bigger, 1810-3; Jafoes Whitcomb. 1843-9; Joseph A. Wright, 1849-57; Ashbel P. Willard, 1857-61; Henry S.

Gray, 1885-9.

At last, one of the great land grants has gone glimmering. The Evansville Courier says: “The Texas Pacific' Forfeiture bill has notv passed beyond the reach of the lobby. The House assented to the Senate amendments, .Monday, and the bill is in the hands of the President. Its enactment restores to the public domain 15,0*30,000 acres of land valued at $40,000,000. It has been a very difficult matter to get this bill passed and great credit isdue Mr. Cobb, of the Vincennes district, who had charge of the bill for its passage. While the Republican organs are howling about the reapportiouiucut and calling it “a rascally gerrymander,” they overlook the following, which is from a correspondent of an independent newspaper: “It gives the Republicans seven districts, on the vote of tsso, .when they carried the State. At the infamous Republican law of 1*73 haiTISs-n in force Inst Novemlior. the Republicans (who lost tbs' State by (10,000) would have secured every Congressman but four. The new bill, whether timely or not, provides for majority representation, which is more Ilian can be said for the law of >7S. The Republicans are awful virtuous when they are powerless to do wrong.” The Republican papers take pleas-! ure in putting forth the remark ofj that New York statesman, William j L. Marcv, who during Jackson’s administration said, “To the viettlrs be-. long the spoils.” The Republican papers arc kicking themselves because the member* of the g.o. p. are not the victors, j

Inauguration.

Yesterday Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks were inaugurated President sud Viee President of the TJuited States. This is the first Democratic inauguration since the 4th of March, 1857. For ttventyrour years the Republican party has ruled this country, its chief ends were the abolition of American slavery and the enfranchisement of the enslaved. These ends it accomplished by the aid of Northern Democrats. To strike the fetters from the wrists of four millions of slaves was a grand and mighty work. It was the one thing needed to make this country “the land of the free.-’ This work required nerve aud wisdom bordering on the superhuman. Prom the time that Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated ia 18111 to the engrafting of the amendments upou the Federal Constitution, securiug the rights of buli'rage for all time to come to the colored race, the Divine Hand is j-erceptible iu all the operations of that patty, that had a tendency to effectuate the object of its existence. When that was done the mission of that party was fulfilled. With the fulfillment of its mission it should have passed away. Haffit done so, it would have had a record for wisdom and humanity unparnllellcd in the annals of time. Or. if subsequent to the accomplishment of its destiny, it had been animated by the wise aud humane spirit that gave it birth its history would still be w ithout mar or blemish. At that period it was all that the heart of umu could desire, or at least expect, from any human organization. Then it was, to the dishonor of that party and the misfortune of the country, be it said, that a radical change in its nature and objects was effected. It no longer had any humane end in view, nor was it ever more animated by that broad, liberal, exalted and humane spirit that had always characterized it. Its sole object was to perpetuate itself in pow The ends justified the means however d^t reputable and ignoble. It had liberated four millions of ignorant, vicious blacks. To perpetuate itself in power it enslaved millions of intelligent white men and women; created and endeavored to maintaiu a sectional issue that made the North hate the South with all the venom of which the human heart is capable. This sectionalism was preached from the pulpit, taught iu the schools, fulminated from the stump, disseminated through the press and iucuicatcd around* the firesides of tlm North. To sectionalism was added assessments of the oue hlimited and twenty thousand Federal office-holders for corrupt campaign purposes; the high taxation, misnamed protective tariff, t«orn of the emergencies of the late war. was unnecessarily and unjustly continued and oftentimes increased; every individual breach of the peace iu the South was magnified hv Republicans into political outrages, while occurrences of like kind iu the North, and ten times more disgraceful, as Ihe recent Cincinnati riot, was passed over unnoticed; and in times of profound peace wlieu the,re was no necessity whatever therefor, the most ignorant and vicious individuals wereappointed Deputy Marshals to insult and intimidate voters, as was done by file notorious scoundrel, Lot AVright, at the October election in Ohio. All those and many more disreputable practices to which that party condescended in its latter aud degenerate days counterbalance, if they do not entirely outweigh and hide from view, all the good it ever accomplished. At snv rate, they furnish ample and cogent reasons why the" people should, as they did at the November election, compel that party to surrender the control of the destinies of this country to other, and. for the present at least, purer hands. Should the Democratic party ever resort to such despicable means for self perpetuation—and God forbid that it ever shall 1—the people should and no doubt would take the reins of government front its hands. All that the Democratic party has to do ia order to secure to itself the administration of this government for very many years to come is to stand faithfully by and impartially and fearlessly apply the principles embodied in its Chicago platform upon which it was elevated iuto jiower. Cut the tariff down to a revenue basis, abolish all class legislation and exclusive privileges, give all men, without distinction of race, color, or section of country, equal chances in the race of life, bury sectionalism with all its hatreds too ileep for ressurrection, abolish the infernal Deputy Marshal election system, give us fair elections at which every man in every section of the country may without fear or intimidation vote as bjs pleases, an honest count of the ballots, aiid appoint none but Democrats to office. The application of these principles, coupled w ith the industry of man and the ordinary blessings of God will make this country as near a paradise as it will ever reach thin side of the milieuium. Barring the liberation and enfranchisement of the colored people ot the South, the results of twenty-four years of Republican rule are sueh that the people will not wish to restore that party to power again. It lias had its own way North, South, East ami West. Providence has manifested His usual kindness in giving us rain and sunshine, springtime ami harvest indue season. Notwithstanding all this wq were in 1873 precipitated into a financial panic that has no parallel in the history of this country, and as a natural result of high tariff arid sectionalism, we are now upon the verge of another, w hich, if not averted; wit! be more direful than that of 1873. It w ill require the greatest wisdom and tact to avert the impending grists if indeed it can be averted at all. These panics are not nature's works, lint the fruits of maladministration of public affairs. They are chargeable to Republican theories and practices;, Tlioy can not be laid at the door of the Democrats. Twentyfour years of Republican rules and'what Have wens the culmination thereof? llunireds of furnaces tireless, factories standing still, wages reduced,! laborers discharged, strikes upoji strikes, riots upon riots, suffering unit starvation among the multiplied thousands that can not find employment at living wages; and a general mariner of dissatisfaction througlWiut the land. In proportion toinhabiatnts there are more paupers, more suffering, more immorality imi more crime than existed! twenty-four years ago. These are the legacies of the “God iiiul morality party,” the party that has always “pointed with pride." But tiie end of such evils has come, at least an end to growing worse. We expert better times and have good reasons for the faith that is in us. The election of Cleveland and Hendricks means ui end to elass legislation, an end to exclusive privileges, an end to tariff robberies, and an rhd to deputy marshals at the polls, it means “quul rights toail, that men siiail rise by their iqerits and tali by their demerits, fret- eleclions and a fair count, honesty anil efltetency in office: that the will of the people shall lie :he supreme law- of the land, the burial of icetionalism, and the reuniting ot all sections >f the country into one peaceful, prosperous, mil glorious Union. In the language of Usury Wnt.terson, “The election of Mr. Cleveland to the Presidency sweeps away ail icotionai distinctions and,lines. , It brings the South nark into the Villon and the Admtnis:ration. It gives It the opportunity, which it ‘light to embrace, of impressing itself upon die National policy. It invests it with actual power and the responsibility that belongs to flower, and bids it show its real character as a (XilUical entity and force. It will strengthen die belief in free institutions and popular rorms afl over the world. It will give a ruarantee of stability and order at home to many generations. It is the crowning triumph among a succession of triumphs to the wearing qualities of the Constitution and the ailidarity of the Union. It is a manifesto from tiie people to the people, claiming their >wn again. It is a decree of judgment against die party that had begun to think Itself the state, anil a warning to those who arc intrusted with power not to misuse it. It is both a civil service older and a restoration of the lisunited Union. In short, the Union is itself ngr-in.” Now", Columbia, in thy sway.

Building Notes. A substantial building will be erected by Elijah Malott on the site of the line destroyed by lire on the night of January 22d. John Brenton and Charlie Traiuor will soon occupy the new building on the comer of Sixth and Main with a meat market. We will have new pavements on Eighth street from Main to the depot, rhe town board lias made a move in the rightf dtjljgcffSn. ■ The uew)btiili!'mg on the corner of Seventh and Main, streets is an extensive one., and will hold a large stock of machines, agricultural implements, etc., to be placed therein by the firm of Patterson & Martin, in ten or twelve days. We are informed by a prominent contractor that as soon as arrangements can be made work will commence on about eight new buildings —business houses and residences— about two of which are to cost from 15,000 to $7,000 each. As he is now making bids on some of this work he .•an not yet give details, but enough has been told told to show that we ire to enjoy a building boom in the >b* spring.

THE LEGISLATURE, Brief Paragraphs Concerning Oar Salons—ISr. Hargrave’s Letter.

The drainage bill has passed. Senator Foulke’s civil rights bill was defeated by a decisive vote. The bill providing a uniform system of text books failed to pass. The Appellate Court bill failed to pass by a vote of 21 to 21. It may be called up again. The bill authorizing townships tu aid in the construction of bridges over streams on boundary Hues has passed. From the present prospect the bill Srohibiliug base-ball playing on Sunay will hardly be passed this session. The bill allowing county Treasurers 6 per cent, for collecting delinquent taxes failed to pass by ayes 43, nays 33. Mr. l'leasant's bill to require druggists to report their liquor sales t« the Circuit Clerk, after six roll-calls, was ordered engrossed. After a long discussion the House Tuesday morning refused to go intt j committee of the whole on the appro j priatiou bill by 17 to -14. j The Senate, on Friday, passtd the j militia bill; May’s bill empowering i towns and cities to levy taxes foi building bridges; Bryant’s bill reor j gariizing the State Board of Health. | The House fee and salary commit- | tee reported adversely to all the billin their possession except the Crecel ius bill, fixing the fees of couufj treasurers for collecting deliuqueni taxes. „ The house passed Engle's hill providing that when persons are acquitted of crime ou the ground&finsauiti alone, the fact shall be set forth in tin verdict and the court shall send then to the insane asylum. The Insane Asylum Bill has passer! the House, and only awaits tin signature of the Governor to become : law. This assures the completion ol the three asylums as rapidly as tht work can be pushed to a finish. T! e Senate has passed a milk anti eider medical bill, which, if it should become a law, would benefi t nobod) but County Clerks. It requires doctors to secure license fi\m the Clerk bnt docs not provide for an examination of the applicant.—[Vincennes News. 4 , - Mr. Williams, of Knox county, send: the Democrat a copy of his Housi Resolution requesting the President of Purdue U niversity to furnish name.' of students in attendance, etc., etc., with which resolution is published the information sought after by Aht House. Among the names reporter! by the President, we notice the following persons in attendance from this county: Chits. L. Davidson ami Miss Minnie Hargrove, Union. Samuel Hargrove is one of the Trustees ol the Institution. ■ Speaker Jewett says: ‘T shall uevn again be in the Legislature, and so my testimony has the weight of the word's of a dying man. This idea of a sixty days’ session is absurd in pt it tuple, The regular session was limited to sixty days at a lime when the population of the State was less by a fourth, and the wealth less by a twentieth thaii it now is. We passed a ditch law in tin House after a day’s discussion. The consideration of a ditch law should occupy a week. Then our railroad ! legislation should be remeddled. It is absurd to suppose that a proper railroad bill can be constructed in a day. This Legislature will adjourn, in the sixty days' limit, and I am < hid of it. I for uiy law office has not; had a lire in lit since the 8th of January. But on ! general principles the sessions are toe i short.” " I.ctler From lion. I.. IS. Hargrave. [Special Correspondence of the Democrat.’ Indian u*olis, Ind.. Feb. 27, lS-G. Editor Democrat: 1 notice it|yoiijJasi issue a statement in regard to a ,[bill now pending in the Legislature in relation tc railroads, and the exi>ense of fencing the same, if the present hill becomes a law. I have the honor of being on that committee. , and would say that my action in relation to this hill I deem to he right, as it is the only bill out of perhaps twenty that we have recommended the passage of; and this bill has passed the House and ordered engrossed, and 1 hope it may liecauw a law. Now as to the expense. The estimate of four million dollars is more than double the amount required to fence these tracks where they extend through improved lands. There are : 01,S miles of ra l oads in this State, according to the report of 18Si!. Now, on a reasonable estimate, there are not more than one-half of said roads running through enclosed lands, w hich would reduce the cost of constructing such fence to two million dollars; and it is estimated that there are two-thirds of the fencing now constructed, arid the expense to oath road would be very small in consideration of the inconvenience to the farmers of this State where these roads have been forced through their land 1 in spite of said land owners, and I deem it nothing but right and just lo fence said roads running through all enclosed lands. However, that is no argument in favor of railroads, and if it cost them live times that amount I should support the bill for the simple fact that l believe it to be right. This bill is a bill amended by t ie minority of which Mr. Wilson, of Kosciusko, and myself a; e the members on the minority .ej ort. M e had a hot time in the House yesterday on the apportionment bill. The-Republi-cans diet! hard, but they fought it to the bitter end. It does not attect our Congressional District any, and for Senatorial purpurposes Pike and Knox are put together, and l*ike is entitled to one Representative— so that leaves an open field fur a fair tight in Pike. I deem that right also, and as one who seeks not to take advantage of any man or party, as 1 have said on tbrmeroccasions, that l was w illing to take the chances with the Republican party and will lose nothing if we are successful every four years; and as Warrick county would lie entitled to the ! Senator two years from now, we can afford to give that office to Knox and lose nothing ; in that direction. So, considering all things, 1 think wens a party should acquiesce in this apportionment w ith a good grace and ■ bright prospects for the future. Mr. Editor, there are a great many other : bills of much importance that 1 might refer E to, but it would make my communication too lengthy. However, 1 will tieg room in : your much welcome paper, which 1 have : received while here, to state that the bill j which I introduced this week protecting E horticulturists in this State, is a bill which ! shall have my earnest attention, as I regard j it of vital importance to the fruit growers of this State; anti if passed will protect horticulturists from outrageous swindles that j have been perpetrated ou the people of this State.

A Foreeast for March. C.

It will la* cold from the 20th to the 24th, and 1 stormy weather will prevail during the remainder of the month. “March will Is* a vry stormy month with many severe and sudden changes.

The Straight Line Railroad. The work of securing aid to build | the extension of the Straight Lite is I being pushed forward by IXs J'. Mackey, and we may, inside of one year, see through cars for Indianapolis. What a blessing it would be to our people! The following we clip from the Washington Gazette of the 28th nit: J. 11. O'Neall was in Evansville i Wednesday and had an extended inI terview with I). J. Mackey, and as a i result of that interview Mr. O'Neall i will present's petition to the hoard of | conimisioncrs next week, asking fora | railroad election to see whether au api propriafion sliall be made by the peoi pie to aid the invaluable enterprise of | extending the I., W. & B. K. R. north ; to Worthington as speedily as possible. | The time of the election will be fixed | either for the 7tl» or 14th of April next. I A clause will hr embodied in the petij tion annulling all claims to the tax I voted by the previous election. Fur- | ther than tliis Mr.Mt.ekey says lu jwill j pay all costs of the previous election j and lias authorized Mr. O'Neall to asj certain tile costs ofthe same and draw | on him for it. Not only this, but lie ! will also deposit a reasonable sum of | money as an earnest of bis good faith ; in this matter. The anion lit"of the tax ; asked is two-thirds of two per cent., j which is one and one-third per cent, j This township will therefore be called j on for about $30,000, Steele township j for about $9,000, and Elmore towushi): , for about $4j0()0. Mr. Mackey guari antees further that for this tax he will i build the road to Newberry by the first | of September, which is the time ol i wheat threshing, and gives the fartnet j shipping facilties for the crops of tin j coming season. The road is to bf ; completed to Worthington by January i 1st, 1886. Work will lie done on tin | line as soon^as spring opens and it can i. be done with economy and perinainenev.
