EDITORIAL VOTES. Sn •V/VA Has Petersburg forgotten that a Business Men’s Association is needed here ? The Dependent Pension Bill its a ltenubllean measure; the Service Pension Bill is a solder’s measure. The ass that edits the News lias given notice that he will work his ears and do some loud braying this Week. ^Agood many votersare wearing Harrison badges these inti'll times, for they cannot command money enough to "buy a new pair of pants. The only men who voted against the Senate Bill instructing the Superintendent of the census to collect information about mortgages on/homes aud farms weneJtepublicans; George S. Green, who lias twice been clectcd%Vuditor of Posey county by large majorities, is a candidate for Apditor of State, subject-to the Democratic nominating convention. The township elections this year occur on the 7tli day of April. Rejnpmber that you must be a residcnl of the township sixty days or you will lose your vole. Don’t move from one township to another unless you can move CO days ‘before the election. This veardowusliip elections are very important_. Pike county needs another railroad. It ought to he built from some point on tiie Ohio river, say Ueiv Albany, or Louisville, to Vincennes. It would he a great feqjier to the O. & M., and would do Pike county a yvouderful amount of good. Why pot have a Business Men’s Association to call attention to suchiiuportaut facts ? v: Tlie Depiocrats of Clay township met Saturday, Feb. 15, 1890, at 2 o’clock. The following officers were ejected, viz.: II. A. Hynmen, chairman; Melvin Catt, treasurer; G. T. Kinie, secretary. Three delegates were appointed by the chair to aitend the Convention at Winslow, Thursday, Feb. 20, 1800, as follows: Jas. A. Grubb, Mell Gowcn, and David Grubb. All the Democrats of the township were rtqueslcd to attend the Winslow Convention. Andrew M. Sweeney this week sent us a notice of his candidacy for pierfc of the Supremo Court, subject jo the Democratic nominating convention. Tire article lie sends is taken from the Jasper Courier, and ably states Ins claims. lie was a candidate, in 18S6, for Supt. of Public Instruction, but be went down with the other staunch Democrats that year. His homo is Jasper, Dubois county, »ud he is oue.of the 1800 or more ot good Democrats of that county. The Democratic State Central Committee has opened Depaitment Headquarters at Indianapolis. Tlie Committee rooms are No’s. 10, 11, and 23, 2d fleor, Union Block, over U. S. Pension office. Tlife Committee cordially invite every Democrat who visits Indianapolis to make hiqiself welcome at these headquarters, and to furnish the committee at any time information that may tend to the inferes* of tlie Democratic party and good government.

After voii have read the Democrat, go to your dinner or supper as the tjine may require, look at he brand on the bottom of your dish or your cup aud saucer, and contemplate the meaning. You see the Lion and Unicorn, and letters that tell you jliey are made In England. After all {he .bowl for protection, your table i« furnished by foreign countries. England makes your tableware. Of such -pare* there was shipped to the United States in 1887, |8,807,832.48 worth, on which you helped pay a lax of $5,338{>95.34. This year will be no.belter; neither was last year nor year before last. Wages get lower; produce sells for less, and stilt s number of people who buy these wares are harping long aiid loud for a continuation of {his enormous tax. England would sell no more ol this ware in the U. S if there-went no taxon it, but the people would bpy it cheaper—that is the ^nly difference. No oue is so blind one who trill not see.

When you have la grippe you will think you are turning to something, but you will not know wh at it is. You will not class yourself as a human being; you can’t, lou may tlrcam that the world is a colassal bowl of milk and mush, that you hare eaten it, and that it has lodged ill vour nose. Hideouse hobgoblins with yellow ears and maroou feet, and face and eyes of chalk, and ail covered with5speckled feathers will stalk through your bed chamber and moek your piteous pleading. A swarm of horrors will hive in your being. You will acknowledge that you have been an arch sinner and will promise to ever after be a saint. You will,think you have the croup, the bronchitis, cramps, hicouglia, developing symptoms of consumption, itch, sneezes, with all the pains that flesh is heir to. You will blow and blow, and the more you L-low the filler your nose will get. \e>ur nose will stretch out like a double barreled lnunel and will sigh like a foghorn. You will not know whether to use it for a fire alarm or cornucopia. Carbunkles will show themselves in various parts and waits in myriads. Your lips will be thick as lamb liams, and your mouth will feel like you hail been ealing^live coals for a living. The spells will come on about every five minutes and last for an hour till

the spells have so overlapped each other that you will bo covered with a halo of spasmodic sneezes, during which time you will view all the contents ot the other world. The sr.eezes will give way to a prolonged snort in quality and quantity resembling a legitimate cross between i steam whistle and a dumfi-bull, terminating in a strange and unearthly brav, the whole terminating in a procession of demoniacal howls punctuated with pain at every inch of breath taken in or let out. That is grip, and nothing more. It'sawful. That th^only opposition lb the proposal to include the'statistics! of farm mortgages in the next census should have coine from the Republican members ot the Senate should set the tanners to thinking. It is a significant tact. Why is it that Republicans, any more than Democrats who are anxious to have it disclosed, should fear the truth regarding farm mortgages? Is it uot for the single reason that they are eager to conceal the effects of protection which, while enriching the monopolists, is impoverishing the farmers ? If this is not the effect of protection why do they stand in quaking of the facts—why arc they strcncuously resisting a census of farm mortgages which the farmers themselves desire? To oppose this feature of the census, however, is as fatal as to grant it. Let the farmers ask themselves why the Republican party refuses to show how they arc faring under a protective tariff, and the answer is an exposure of the protective iniquity and instant enlightenment as to the extent to which they have been and are being plundered and duped. Glass companies arc among the most highly protected institutions of the U. S. The Pittsburg Glass Company last year made a profit of over 35 per cent, on the whole capital invested above all expenses. This gave the company a net profit of $9(52.500. Gut the good tiling docs uot end here. The official report shows .that the plate-glass iudustrjHs an exceedingly flourishing one, all the mills of 4lio country being pushed to their utmost capacity. The par value of such stock is $100. It’s maiket value is $200, anil even on this figure the profits arc enormously large. These companies would grasp a chance to run otfoneiliird the present profits, in which case the people would get the benefit of the reduction iu the larills. Not only of glass companies is this true, hut it is true of almost all the companies that aregctlingexeesBivciy rich off the labor of the consumers of their manufacturers,_ The Princeton Clarion is complaining of the high price of beef, and says a Chicago company will establish a dressed beef market at that place unless the local butchers reduce the price of beef, lias uot the Clarion been advocating for, many years lire idea that all competition ought to be killed off by a high protection ? and is not this protection the same as that of the nation? Why does not the Clarion advocate a town ordinance requiring every one who ships meat to Princeton to pay a tariff on it before selling it within the corporate limits? Such aii ordinance would toe iu keeping with all the Clarion lias advocated tor many years, but it would toe hatd on tiie eitizens of Princeton just as our present tariffs are hard ou the poor consumers allovcr this country.

The name of J. I>. Barker appears in the Democrat as a candidate for State Senator from tho Senatorial District of luiox and Pike counties Mr. Barker is too well know n to need any historical comment. Me will be a candidate subject to the Democratic convention; and, should some one else be the choice of the convention, than that man will be Barker’s choice. In this, he shows true Democracy. His name is the first candidate we have had the pleasure of announcing.* These announcements are cheap, gentlemen; tor the District offices, $ 10 each; for the county, 15; Kownship, only 12.50. .Send in vouDnames; invaribly cash in advance. IIox. Ernst W. Pickhardt, of the Signal, is a candidate for re-election as representative for the counties of Lawrence, Orange and Duliois. Mr. P., represented Martin and Dubois counties during the last session of the Legislature, in which body lie was an untiring and zealous worker. From a Democratic standpoint, Mr. P. certainiy deserves re-eleetion, t.nd if we j were a Democrat we would pledge him our support.—Jlunlingburg Ar[j7««-.

Jefferson Township Finance. Ed. Democrat : A few remarks on the financial condition of Jefferson township may be of interest to the taxpayers. When I took the office 2 years ago, there was in the treasury $194.1<i. The township debt was $2,517,34. There was a tax of 65c. on each $100. Since then l have met the necessary expenses of the township, kept up the repairs of the roads and school proper! v, met the necessary expenses of the schools, and reduced the indebtedness $1917.34, leaving only $600 yet to be paid off, autl I have reduced the taxes from 65c, on the $100 to 45e, on each $100. There will be money enough on hands by the time my term expires to pay all the indebtedness of the township. In the last two years the expenses of the poor of the township has been reduced front hundreds ot dollars to less than $50 during the last year, and there has not been one dollar’s indebtedness made by me except in the dog fund and that I could not control. Some one wants to know what has become of the schools. That is only a mathematical problem. We employ 17 teachers at an average of $2 per day for each, making $34 aday. We had left from last year $20. I got from thecounly Treasurer in June $1308.50.

yie present apporuonnieni is *L3i».yi. This makes $2578.41. Divide by 34 and you have 75, the number of days it will run the schools. I admit that our school term is too short, but who is to blame for it. There arc three ways.to inakc(the schools longer : 1. Levy a local tuition tax which will give us more money: but who wants His taxes raised any higher? 2. By reducing the wages of teachers; but this will drive our best teachers from the township. 3. By reducing the number of school houses iu the township, and this, I think, can be done without injuring any one. I think if our schoolhouses were properly placed we would do away with three houses and give about the same, accotnmodtions as u e have. We will have to build some new houses in the hear future, and this is a matter that should be considered. The present school term that has just closed has been one of the most successful ever taught in the township. There has not been a teacher employed but what has been energetic and industrious. Notwithstanding the embarrassing circumstances we had in commencing by introducing the new books and the prediction by many that the new hooks would damage tho schools, the schools have given good satisfaction to both patrons and teachers. It. W. Harris. A Good Letter. A Jefferson township man, who has heretofore been a Republican, writes us the following: | “Farmer, I will tell you abojut nfc tariff. It is a tax that we have paid into that big treasury at Washington. I, for one, will ask every man to cast liis vote so as to keep unnecessary money out of that bigtrieasury( so that we can have the surplus money among the people. Then let ns vote so as to keep down trusts. Farmers will have their noecS to the grind-stone just so long as the trusts are allowed their way—are fostered by this same tariff which protects them against competition. I would like to see every inau and woman in tiie U. S. pay taxes as we pay. Is there anything right about this ? I say yes, for one. Again, for the millionaires from London, together with I those our tariff laws have made, to take advantage ot us farmers-and laborers of all classes, is wrong. They are even buying up our lands and are preparing the why for an aristocracy, a plutoeVacy, and making s povertystricken class a certainity. As sure as the time comes, they will do as they have done in other countries— drive us from our God-given heritage, and go to raising cows and sheep instead of letting people till the soil. The laws that give our heritage to corporations, instead of to our children, are infamous. The law that created natioual banks to borrow tho people’s money for them is an outrage that the people should not stand for a single hour. The farmer has to work early and late and from year in to year out to pay a big tariff that has made millionaires who cornu from the eastern protected districts to lend us money. When we have got behind in paying this, they get a mortgage, then our laud, or at least they get all our labor, and sometimes they get both. The difference between a millionaire and a poor man is that the millionaire is protected and the poor man is made to pay that protection. No use talking, gentlemen, these are facts, and I am afraid I have found it out too late. Bunker Hill.

“Citizen” sate in last week’s Press that J. D. Selby ought to be nominated for trustee. TVas not that idea a bright one that originated at the court house for the purpose of beating MeMurray ? Will “Citizen” vote for Selby or far MeMurray ? tyill he not vote for Smith in the convention ? Did Smith know all about this citizen business ? If both Selby and MeMurray are candidates will that not make Smith’s nomination a certainty. We earn not whether Smith, or Selby, or MeMurray is nominated ; but we do think it a very unfair way to treat two of the township citizens for the sake of putting the office in a corporation that is distinct and separate from the township.

Ed. Democrat: Id reading the Democrat I saw an article a few weeks ago from Long Branch signed “Jefferson,” and the nest week he got down in Dutch Town and signed his name “Andrew Jackson,” and. last week he struck Otwell and Algiers. It seem8 that this wise main has assumed the responsibility of guardian for Democracy of Jefferson township, by suggesting what they shall do and what they shall not do. He thought he Would play it smart on Jhe ignorant Democrats as he would put it; but they have only laughed at bis trying to mislead them as to who‘he is. For the benefit of the few who may not know who it is, 1 will saiy that, he is not a resident nor a voter of Jefferson township and has no interest in the affairs. If he had, he is no more capable than the one who assisted him iii his items of last weelc. I understand he has already pledged himself to vote the Republican ticket, if they would nominate certain parties. I think the Democrats of Jefferson township are 21 years old, and capable of making their own nominations. I think they will nominate a good ticket of their own and will not listen to the dissatisfaction of outsiders. I have this confidence in them at least. Township; Resident.

The F. M. B. A. members, a good many of them at least, say it will be a long lime before Princeton gets the General Assembly to meet there again. This comes from two causes: 1. Princeton did not receive the delegates as cordially as they expected to be received; and 2. The order >s growing rapidly and spreading to the north and east at a rate that will soon put Princeton fair out of the wav as a central point for the delegates. _ Evansville has been making arrests of all the scarlet women of that city, and hundreds of them have been brought into the courts, where they were made to contribute to the school funds as a penalty for having committed a crime that the law had not sanctioned. There is more Cattarrh In this section of the county than all other diseases put together, and until the.last >few years was supposed to he incurable. For a great many years Doctors pronounced it a local disease, and proscribed local remedies,, and by constantly failing to euro with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Science has proven cattarrh to he a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Cattarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonfull. It acts directly upon the blood and mucus surface of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address., F. J.
