EDITORIAL NOTES. .School trustees ;who refused So obey the law on school books will perhaps wish they had done1 so. The people’s ticket in Clay township is the ticket that most eitizens /com that section say ought to win. Patoka township ought to go to -work to elect II.-C. AYiggs, W. II. Miley and the rest of that excellent ticket. Harrison removed from office the first year sf his administration 13,300 more officers than Cleveland did in Jhe same time. The Republican candidate for trustee in Loekhart township came to Petersburg a few days ago and took jont naturalization papers. Monroe township people are well pleased to have an opportunity to vote for Mt. Grim. Those we have talked to sav he is the proper man.

•S.'G. Bakrktt is the coming man •for trustee in Lockhart township, for the reason (hat he and he alone, has the necessary qualification known as competency._; ■■iTbcstees must procure the new school hooks. They can no longer refuse. County Superintendents must also decide to do likewise. It jr 5s settled, but—! Continue.I, P. Rumble in Madison township audit he people down there will never regret it. lie has done , well. Extend to him the deserved .courtesy of another election. The Democratic candidate for As* sesor in Lockhart township is a young man of good judgement; he is honest and otherwise competent. What jnore could the jieople desire? With Wm. Survant elected Assessor ; Marion township will have done her duty; of course the township cannot financially afford to elect any one for trustee besides W. F. £:° k. _________ Clevelani/* tarifi message got all the monopolists down on him, and they turned nil their spare money \ into a boodle with which to buy votes against the man that stood by the people. Tiie penalty ot the new election law is now in force, and in this county and especially in Jefferson township a number of man-traps hare been set for men who, when caught, \ will hare worse law suits on hands than ihov hare heretofore been bothered with.

A cox spin ac y is among the politill corruptionists of Indiana. It is . rudleyism and blocks of fires met ills. They are trying to defeat the »ew election law, which is for moralting and purifyingour elections; and dso to destroy and defeat the school ook law, which is for the people and against the monopolist. Tub McKinley bill will, if it becomes a law, impose a heavier tax on raw woo), aud put hides ou the tariff list again. The author of the bill presumes that we are not paying enough for wooleu goods and boots and abacs. Thus is the consumer ground to Ups wall. The nominations for the different ' res by the Democrats aud Indendeiits in Logan township was to ,ave taken place this wreck. IVe hare not learhcd whom they nominated, hut if the man that seemed to be in the lead down there is nominated no better choice could be desired. { WiioevgB fails to, vote lor W. F.

Fkra Mortgages. In 18C9, then? were fewer than ITS real estate mortgagee in Pike county, amounting to lees than 176,000 sari the Petersburg Democrat. In 1889, 20 years of high tariff, the number increased to more thau 46$ real estate mortgages, amounting to more than |189,000. We submit this from the . records for the serious consideration i of the farmers of this county. Itii ' about 300 per cent, worse, and got sc in tweutv years. The farmers are not only failing, with all their efforts, to keep even, but are not even paying the whole of this interest. Tliiuk ol • it! It is enormous! And, besides, land is worth bat little more than half it was in 18691— F»»ee«»e»£tm The Democrat was in error in constructing the language of thu above. The whole number of mortgages given in 1869 was less than 17^ and the amount of them was less than $75,000. This is the transactions of one year, and of the transactions of the same business in 1889, twenty year's later, as far as they have been recorded, the number of mortgages is more than 463, amounting to more titan $189,000. This, too, is the transaction of one year, 'faking the diminished value of real estate and the increased necessity to mortgage laud, and taking his present condition as a basis for calculation; you will find the farmer about 300 per rent, worse off than he was 20 years ago. This, too, has happened while we had the highest “blesscd'X ?) tariff that atiy nation has ever had. How do you like the blessing? Convention in Madison. The following was received to late for publication last week: The Democrats of Madison township meet at the Bowman School house, March.13, and were called to order by J. L. Harrison, chairman. On motion J. 1). Barker was elected chairman, and E. T. Fowler, secretary. After some remarks by the chairman, the committee on rules was appointed and a report adopted as follows: Resolved, That wo, Democrats of Madison township, tender our thanks to J. P. Humble, our trustee, for the pure, utibiased, and economical administration given us. Resolved, That we rccomend J. D. Barker to the Democrats of Knox and Pike counties for State Senator. Jiesolved, That wc are in favor of a Mass county convention.

acai iu uruer wa* iiuwiuauiis can* didatos: J. P. Rumble for trustee, E. J. Whitehead for assessor, W. J. Richardson and G. W. McAtee for Justices, and John Harrison and McClellan Tisdale for constables, all were nominated by acclamation. It is a good ticket. Hannont prevailed. All are pleased. J. D. Barker, E. T. Fowler, Chairman. Secretary. The decision of the Supreme Court sustaining the School Book law will be good news to all honest men. It marks the final victory over one of the most corrupt and unscrupulous campaigns that was ever 6et on foot to save the chance for plunder that for years had plucked the State. There way be a little drawback in the thought that this decission, thus endiug the question as an issue, does away with the chance to administer another crushing defeat to the gang which seemed determined to tempt fate again with it. It would have been soothing to have had the crack of another general election at the crowd whose dastardly efforts to overthrow this law can only be computed with those it made to prevent. But all’s well that end-s well. Indiana has no cause for greater State pride than the sagacity and determination with which she has driveu this school book riug from ditch to ditch, until even now from the last one.—Indianapolis Notes [ Rep.] Rev. William Chandler ordered his paper stopped last Monday because we published a, correspondence from Arthur giving an itemized statement of expenditures on the county pauper house, and on the same day Bph Lee went fishing and dipped a cup of water from the l’atoka river in which to wash his fish. Neither was missed.— Winslow Loader.

Mr. C. can now borrow the Leader as he often does the Democrat. His stopping me paper shows the kind of rcau he is. He ought to know better than to think the poor pittance of a single subscribed will iu the.least effect any paper. As to his record, that is public property and is for the investigation of all. If his record is published as he lias made it, why should he object ? No man should desire to hide his official acts from the public. The attempt to hide a record is good grounds for suspicioning that there is something wrong. An interview with Tauner as reported br the Chicago Times is the following: “Ilow will it go in Indiana this faill ? Why, it will go about 25*000 majority for the Democrats. The old soldiers will not soon torget the campaign lies told them during the fall ot 1888. I will go to Indiana to talk to the old boys this fail, although I meant and believed every word 1 told them iu 1888, and they can be no more disappointed than I am at the result, but our time will come. I did what I could during the short time I was commissioner, but they cut me short.” Of course the new school book law villgive a dishonest man a chance to 4o something wrong. A trustee who will do as ours in Washington township lias done can greatly increase the cost of handling the new books. But an honest man will not do such a thing, nor should the County Commissioners allow il. When yon g*> to cast a voto in Jefferson township, remember that a continuation of Dr. B- W- Harris in office soon wipes out the entire township debt, and places Jolerson on a fooling with the most successful corporations in the county. Reward him for his good work by a re-ejec-tion,

OUR TRUSTEE’S RECORD. From An?. 1,1888 to Aue- 1, 1889, it is Had, and Since Then it May be Worse. How He has_« and Got Pay for Same. He Charged both the Township and the County for the Same Days.

Th* Kftcti «f Eleetlaf Mm to th* Ohce Not a Personal Matter that Causes his Ex* poanra, but a Duty to the PuDlle. That no man can say that he did not know what our trustce’a record is, it it here priuted that all may examine it. You are earnestly requested to go to the Auditor’s office, eee for yourself that it is correctly copied, then to take almanacs for 1888 and 1889, aud to compare every date, and statement to see lor yourselt aud uot for another. This report comet down only to Aug. 1,1889. Why it may he greater since then will bo seen further on. Though it is hard to believe, you will see that he charged for Sunda; s, and got par for them as follows: Sunday, Aug. 12,1888, office day, $2; Sundays, March 3d. and 10th, 1889, settling with teachers, $4; Sunday, July 28,1889, work ou Ke ports, <2. This violation of the law is perjury; see sec. 2007, acts of 1883, suplemeut to revised statues of 1881: Three times we have heal’d it disputed, and three times we have gone to his report and have seen that it is a fact that he has charged for Nov. 31, though there is but 30 days in that month.

Smith made no mistake, for three of these Sundays came in where be charged for both Sat. and Mon., so that Sat. nor Men. could have been charged to Sun. The other Sunday, Mar., 10,liras office day, aud office days came on Fri. and Sat., so that a Sun. charge for Mon. would separate the days, which would be wrong. The question was how much he could get. Ue has the people’s money. Will he give them back $250, or await the action of the County Commissioners aud the Grand Jury? On Dec. 4,1888 (Some say it was Sept. 4.), he went to Indianapolis to take two blind children. For this he charged the county $37, and on the same days (Dec. 3, 4 and 5), he charged the township $6 for road work aud work with poor. If his trip was Sept. 4, it makes no difference, for on that date and the day before he charged the township $4. Aug. 9, he charged the county lor poor $6.10 and the township $2 for settling with teachers: Dec. 4,1888, he charged the county $54.50 for poor and blind and township $2 for school work; June 7, 1889, he charged the county $8.50 for poor and the township$2foroffice days. You will see that he ha6 charged for uearly all the working days iu the year, and for four Sundays besides. It is a known fact and can be proven, that during mauv of these days he worked at the bench and iu his store and cbarged the county for the time at, $2 a- day. He could not have charged for a deputy legally for it ■ was not necessary to haT« a deputy i.i an office that does not require more than two days in a week to complete its wlmle worn.jg^Tt must be observed that he has charged for two office days iu each week aud that his report shows that lie did nothiug on those days but keep ‘‘office days.”

Since the Democrat called atien(tou to hi* record, Mr. Smith’s friend* have claimed that the new school books necessitated an additional amount of work, and have attributed his charges to that; but this cannot be true, for there were no books shipped to this county for many weeks alter Mr. Smith niade his last charge on July 29,1889. It is further claimed that horse hire and other super-additional expenses increased his bill; but who ever heard of an office or a law that required the taxpayers to hire a horse for an officer? On the same plea auy officer may do the same. But super-addi-tie nal duties and cum onerc duties caunot be legally charged lor. The Supreme Court hasdecided that. See "Yager vs. Commissioners of Gibson County.” Two Democ rats in this town said they will vote for smith, and gave as a reason the fact, as they explained! that when a tramp comes along they send him to Smith who gives them a lunch and charges the bill to the township, thus converting his office into an expensive boarding house for himself and his friends. Suck Democrats as these have no love for their fallow men. * Mr. Sngitb belongs to that order of all orders, the G. A• IS.; but it is tor his, and not their good. One peor and honest old veteran lost his loving companion and before hs could buy a cofin on a few day’s credit Smith compelled him to bring an order from two financially responsible yeungmen who were held for the payment. Auother member of his own post tost his wife and Smith took a mortgage on his mules before be would let the honest ohl veteran hare a coffin. True,' v

Smith could not have furnished these things for nothing, but it does show that his treatment of these men is somewhut on the style of conducting his office. Moreover these were honest reteraus whom their neighbors trusted and who would never have been treated so by any man who haa the interest of the soldier at heart. To re-elect Smith is bad morals. It simply says to a young man: “Get an office and rob the people.” We have too much of that.from the highest to. the lowest officers. Let ns not tolerate it in this town and township. The Town Board demanded young LeMastere’ resignation fora crime u«> greater, if. as great, as that of our trustee’s. lie was sat upon severely, and roundly condemned by almost every man in town. Why should any of these men vote for Smith ? Until they do so, we cannot believe that they will, tor such an act is too immoral and evil in its consequences. Every man should have the moral courage to do right. This it neither a personal nor a political matter. It is Mr. Smith’s record which he swore to, and can be seen in the Auditor’s office. Till now, March 27,-he has made no defense except to acknowledge what he liasdone and boast that others would dike to share the hoodie he has taken from the township. His next bill will probably be over a thousand dollars, for \pe lias so levied his tax that he can get fifteen to eighteen hundred, and has already bean talking long aud loud about the great additional expense of the new school book laws. Is it fair to tinst this man any further when he has already swindled the taxpayers out of so much ? This i« a time for every man to vote his conscience and not [ his prejudice.
