Wk do not know why the “Ring !)rgau" should need to “investigate.” That, paper published the reports rhicta wa saw a good Republican of pike county cast up, and when he oked at the figures his “eyes bugged at” almost an inch. He was think|g of his tax receipts and feeling bis jjtlses beat hard, at the thought of gving helped to elect our present ounty officials. ■ ' A summation of the instructions on he new election law will not appear this paper till next week.

Wnxx did the Pres* ever ofler any ait on that painting business ? Has Jiot the court house ring aud the editor of the Press been darning the ■Dekockat for weeks because a atate[uient from the Republicans aud their orgaus on this same extravagance has been asked for? Au exposure of the brings” extravagance in the Republisn papers, will be “mighty inttrestin lin.” Tor the good of the public, at it come. When the farmers read in the “ring organ” in this county articles (advocating a tax reform on Democratic principles, and the next week or two read articles advocating a high (protective .tariff for the benefit of [those who have already become milllionairea they must conclude that it I was .a wise act in Junius to keep his u^e from the latter. Before they [accept the tariff part of the argument [ they will surely think solemnly of the ' fact that they pay, by reason of the tariff two prices ou many things they I buy, and that what they sell brings a higher price in Europe tbau iu the Ini tod Statejn^ ‘ .A*

A few or the editorialsin the Prtu • ef last week ought to hare been singed “Junius.” As a reply to one oi these articles which the supposed ed- ' ftor of the Pres* never wrote himself, we will say that we favor a Tarifl sufficient to defray the expenses of the governuieut economically administered, and assisted by a revenue that shall he in favor of the poor rathei than the rich- Bel, if the young n il 1 matt Who edits the Press li Killing lopaftfOr the benefit of the R&fet 1«nrtrty, a Tariff of 80 per [ cant, on red flauueil, and 210 per cent. * on caster oil, let him do so, but we Always shall ineiat that he ought not ^ to vote with a party that compeU other people to pay this same tax ou their necessities so long as the government does not need it. Fair trade ia what we need In this country. The Press man pretends that he baa been fishing for the Dehookat. That paper o«ght to fish a boat the public offices of Pike county. There arc many suckers then aud might easily he. caught. They are sucking the people’s money at a lively rate, and the milk don’t turn their stomachs. One of the “ring” made a calculation aud made the figures show that the recent paint log Imsi ness cost the taxpayers, lacking only one cent of II,300- So that, for a mere guess,*!,300 can amt tea* bad; for, if you add to the *1,300 the expense of the commissioner's court, and the expense for pnh#Wilof Mm itemised allowances m thrfy appeared in the Press to »* to make the printer’s bill larger, •nd ether eaneueJ expenses not put down in the eon at of this “ring,” *1,Koo le not suelt « had guess after all. nat, after all, how many houses ought I jo ho painted for *4300?

.L—. A KIT FACTS. •- A most astonishing “squib” appeared in I lie Pres* Iasi week in which it laiutimaiied that the monopolists of this country are controlled by Democrats. Any one knows the intimation to be a great piece of travesty, bearing the stamp and the countenance of .falsehood. Look at the law the Dem< cratsof Indiana passed against the greatest book thieves the world ever saw or beard of! Soon after writing the “squib” he thought would dethrone the Democracy or the country, lie “rares” back aud weighs his self importance, which has grown to such proportions that, iu comparison. Blaine,in all hia political glory, sinks into an obscure cross-roads politition. He gets, bis bfeath again, and blubbers out: “Has the Democrat informed its readers that Johu Sherman the great Republican leader was the first man in the Uuited States Seuate to propose a bill to destroy trusts V* Cleveland was not in the Senate, but be was in a more authoritative position when he called the trusts “hateful,” and recommended legislation which would have been effective had there not been an almost unanimous opposition by thg Republicans, among whom wasj Johu Sherman. Cleveland ran for President ou this ground, aud received 160,000 votes more than Harrison, and 1,000,000 majority of the white vole of the Uuited States. Bot-Sherman, your “great Republican- leader,” has got sore because he canot, “lead,” could never be nominated for President, much less be elected, and now comes forward to spite the Republican leaders, such ks Biaiti, and proposes a little Democratic legislation, lalk about the Republicans being opposed to monopoly for the centralizing of wealth when iu 25yrs, 700 millionaires have been the fruit of Republican legislation, and when all know that Blaine, while making a speech in behalf of the Republican party, said:

Hi ru8i8 are pnnw iu«ir« wuiwi neither President Cleveland, nor any ^private citizen haa any right to interfere. ” Language like this, coming fi-om the very god at the Republican party, will have to be forgotten before the people can be made to belive that their salvation rests with any c/ther thau the Democratic party, and as at the last election, will continue to cl^st a majority of Votes for the Democracy. And that wise editor wants to know where the Democrats would get their boodle if the “whisky trust and other soulless corporations” were destroyed. One thing is certain: they will not call on Vice-President Morton for any of the money he is making out of the saloon he is having conducted in Washington City. But the sheerest ignorance in the Press is exposed by its editor when he says: “As the editor of the Democrat talks long and loud about the Democratic party being the particular and special frie'nd of the poor man, will he be kind enough to state some instance where this boasted friendship ripened into acts which have resulted in their benefit!” To say nothing of the Mori isou Bill and the Mills Bill which the republicans fought and killed by their opposition, the two bills intended: for the lowering ot taxes which the poor man pays, wc will give a few laws that the Democrats have made for the poor men, and which neither the Press not its bosses will dare deny in the presence of au intelligent citizen, as follows: It was a Democratic congress that pasted the arrearage pension bill. It was a Democratic congress that passed the Inter-State Bill. It wa6 a Democratic congress that enacted a law to pension the veterans of the Mexican war. It was a Democratic congress that passed a law prohibiting the contract of alien labor. It was a Democratic congress that enacted a law permitting the incorporation of trade unious. It was a Democratic congress that enacted a law providing for the redemption ot the trad# Dollar. It was a Democratic congress that enacted a law for. the protect ion of American fishermen. It was a Democratic congress that enacted a law prohibiting the employment of con vict labor by federal officers.

It was a Democratic congress that for ever settled the electoral connt business by giving each state power to say for whom Us vote should be cast. It was a Democratic* congress that established a tribunal for trying suits against the government instead of crowding them into the bands of lobyists. It was a Democratic congress that repealed that tenure of office net enacted by a Republican congress for partisan purposes in violation of the constitution. It was a Democratic congress that restored to the domain 40,000,000 of acres of land granted by Republicans to Railroad corporations, or monopolists, for the reason that those companies never earned them and therefore had no right to them. Every school boy knows what party added to what was the United States before the days of Jefferson more good acres of land than the whole country comprised at that time. Ali know, ^>o, who gave to rich corporation* in the last 25 years much of this land. It ia well known also that the democrats fought this same land stealing. and that eveu aa late as two years ago Cleveland restored to the poor people over 82,000,000 of acres ot western lauds besides passing a law for the opening ot Oklahoma. How, how much more would you have in reply to the opparrent ignorance or deception—which ?— of the Junius of the Press. (Wo beg an excuse fuat here for exposing the source frost whieh the last issue tf the Press got its heavy editorals. Such is useless, for the people mow the ! merited style ot that writer.) u

THE TOll^BOARB. tT COMPLETES A GOOD WOBI IN A SOMEWHAT AWAKENED MANHEB. rhe Editor of The News Gets all He Contracted for, ill the Editor off -the Frew Mels Himself, Wishing the while It j, wu the Beard,. The Town Council met last Thursday evening in its regular meeting, and completed thd good work which the Dkmocbat advocated from the first, and which was a splendid thing to do, namely: the establishment of a grade of the streets, completing the sidewalk ordinances, and the issuing of bonds for the purchase of fir* engines, &c. The work was done somewhat awkwardly, and iu a manner that proves more expensive than necessary, though these facts were not known by even the Council till it was too late, to be undone A Fire Engine was to be purchased.'' Of course there had to be a petition from the taxpayers to issue the bonds to pay for the eugine and apparati as there was not money enough in the town Treasury to bear this expense.’ The petition was presented to the Council and granted. Qa Dec. 10 6, per cent, bonds were issued and negotiated by the Town Treasurer. Now comes the awkwardness: The ordinance, which needed no publication, from the fact that the bonds had already been issued, Was published in the Petersburg New* for four weeks and charged for at the rate of $2 a square, fiftr cents per squareleas than the law allows for such publications when it is necessary to have them published. This amounted to |35 that might have been saved, for the publication was not necessary, so far as we are able to read. It could add nothing'to a business that had already been legally settled.

'lhe Siae wants uraimance was also published. It amounted to $20, published four weeks at 50c. less thau legal rales. This publication is of doubtful legality. But even to one so little versed in the law as ourselves, it is plain that the law does uot require the publication of this kind of ^ordinance more than two weeks, if at all in a newspaper. But, admitting that the 10 squares of this ordiauce should have been published for two weeks at 50c. less than the legal rates, it would bare amounted to only $10. But Bro. Harrell did, by actual count, $68.75 worth of woi’k for the Council, and got $55 for it. Only $15 of this can, by any possible construction, be shown to be legal, and it is donbtful if any is legal. These aye the facts as near, as we can getr them. Neither the Council uor the printer knew any better till it was too late. Those who criticise them should charitably remember the good work of the Council and place that on the credit side of their criticisms. We have been told by the knowing ones, that the Councilmen were caught napping, and Bro. H. slipped up on them, whereupon Bro. Evans grew wrathy at not getting the boodle that might otherwise have fallen into his purse, and. went out and kicked himself, wishing the while ii w^s the town Council. ORGANIZING THE SOLDIERS. Secy. Bradwelli dives Seme Facts Regarding the Democrat ic Movement. The work of organizing the Democratic soldiers throughout the state, under the new rituat, has been in earnest and is being pushed with a vigor that must bring good results. Isaac N. Bradwel), secretary of the state camp,, has opened up, head-quar-ters in the Wright block, and has entered upon a systematic correspondence with democratic soldiers in every part of the state.* “The reports that come to me from nearly every county,” said Mr. Bradwell, “are encouraging, and ! am satisfied that within the next ninety days we cau« make a sbowiug that will surprise even the most sanguine.”

" w nai are me principal oojecu oi your organization ?” “Weil, the objects are manifold; political fellowship is the leading one, perhaps * and then no man who has observectythe attitude of the Republican party toward the Democratic soldiers ever since the close of the war can fail to see the necessity of closing up their ranks for a united effort to secure recognition. It has often been said, and is believe^ to be true by the rising generation, that the Uuion soldiers were all Republicans, while the fact is that the majority of Indiana soldiers were Democrats. Our organization will demonstrate to the younger voters that they have beeu misled, and that there is a wide distinction between ‘loyalty’ and ‘republicanism.” “Is your organization antagonistic to theG. A. R. ?” “By no means. That impression has gene out to some extent, and I am glad to haveau opportunity to say that it is not our design to interfere in any way with the workings of the G. A. R., expect so far as its influence tends toward republicanism. Some of our most prominent members and best workers are also members of the G. A. R. Ours is a secret order, the same as theirs, with grips, signs, passwords, etc., bat ours is strictly and openly Democratic; we are sailing under no false colors, and no man can come into it, either as a regular or honorary member, unless bis Democracy is unquestioned.” “Ilow about the statement that it is Koonlz’s organization and is being carried on for his ovrn special benefit?” “No greater mistake was ever made; this bat been repeatedly charged by

tepublican newspapers, but the fsets ire that Gen: Koontz if Mt etjen an >fflcer of the state camp, and tt it only air to him auci to the organization to ay that he has never attempted, as rar as I know, to farther his personal interests, nor would such a thing be permitted. “This is, as I said, a strictly Demo* cratic organization, and its purpose is to see that Democrats are placed in office, and that they recognize the rights of the Democratic soldier afterward. In my judgement, the sohiliers of Indiana are satisfied that Black’s administration of the pension bnrenn stands ont in bold relief, as superior to that of any of his predecessors or successors. Speaking on the subject of pensions, you remember President Harrison’s reference to the apothecary’s scales. Well, Tanner, in the honesty and simplicity ot his heart, began weighing applications for pensions on the hay scales. The result was, be lost his head, while the administration lost everything in wight at the last election. “I believe the soldiers of both political parties are awakening to the fact that Grover Cleveland was as good a friend to them, individually and collectively, as any chief magistrate since the time of Abraham Lincoln, and that the stories told bv cam|iaign orators and partisan newspapers during the campaign of ’88, about hit -unfriendliness for the soldier, werii the rattiest kind ot rot, if you will pardon the inelegant expression. “You may depend upon it, the Democratic soldiers of Iudiana will be througbly organized, and. will present such a front as will forever silence the men who have said that the Republican soldiers put down the rebellion.”—Indiana Sentinel.

>Yk nave 11 iroui kudu suimirity that shortly before the election the Republican county chairmen were called together 'to hear the pitiful appeal of Harrison to raise money to carry Indiana and save him from the disgrace of being elected without the vote of his own State. When Harrison had left the room Hr. Huston told committeemen that 'the quickest way to raise money was for them to promise postoffices to ijonirV butors. The Committeemen returned and mortagaged everything, saying they Clad full authority from Harrison. Thomas Owen was promised a post-ofhee at Bedford upon payment to the “blocke-ot-fives” fund of one hundred dollars. After the election Col. Robertson, an old toldier, came in as the soldier’s candidate. To complicate matters worse, the poor widow of that old Republican warhorse, Col, Friedley, enteied the contest. Harrison and Cobertson were old friends, and the latter fell sure, but Owen paid for the post-office, and the mortage was foreclosed. The next Indiana posvoffice fight is that of Mitchell. It was sold to one Woods for |200, but John Dobson claimed he bought it for his brother for $250. To clear his title ofcontest, Wood refunded Dobson his moneys but now comes Capt. Burton, backed by leading citizens, and says Harrison promised it to the old soldiers. But Harrison has confirmed the sale of Bedford post-office. Wood is confident that the sale of Mitchell postoffice will also be ratified, he being out |4a0—1230 paid to secure a quit claim from Dubson. One of the members of the economical court house ring told ni in as friendly a way as he could, that our figures were too high oh that painting business, and that it did not cost half ot |1,500. In other words, it did not cost $T50: He afterward went to the court house and counted only the allowances on the work aud made it $1,300 lacking only one cent. If be will add to this the other incidental expenses such as the expenses of the Commissioners Court, publishing the itemized reports, &c, he will find that $15,000 is not so bad a guess for one who has no access to the record. Tax protection which the farmei needs is to be let alone. The Republican party has shifted the burden ol sustaining certain pretended infant industries off the manufacturer onto the farmer. Everything the farmei raises brings a higher price in otbei countries than the same articles will bring in this. The farmer is compelled by the Republican parly to seed in tbe lowest market, and buy in the highest. Is it unaccouutabie that the Republicans have made 700 millionaires 7

Electric or iucaudescent light, or both, would be no more expensive than the poor light we already have. Not much more anyhow. Let us .have an investigation of the cost that the people may know the good of putting in such lights. “The Democrat took the cork under.” It did, eh ? So did the “ring,” and the cork went under to the tune of f1.300.00. Deny that, will you ? One cent makes a big difference, eh ? The man who wrote the protective Tariff articles in the Press last week should have signed them Junius, the same aa was signed to those articles stuffed lull of taffy to the farmers. Our present Town Council has doue au excellent work. Let us have electric lights, and the people will praise your good works for generations to come. Merit Wins.
