There never lias been a time when it wai more important to select a goot ticket Let every Democrat in th< county lay aside every personal inter est and help to nominate the very best men to go before the people. Respect fully, T. K, Fleming, N - Chairman Committee “Thou Shalt Not Steal.” The above is a most familliar tcxl and has been committed to memory by many a boy who afterward served in the penitentiary for disobeying the command. Such boys forgot the command and went in the way they should not. There are also, and has always been, a class of people whe consider certain kinds of stealing honorable. We have examples around ns every year and almost every day that teach that such people actually live and move among us. Some do not think it dishonest to take from those who canuot help themselves, to l-ob the poor and to make richer the Hch. Siicli goes on in almost every country We may observe the like among ns every day. There is a remedy against such evils, and lies in the intelligence of the people so fai as our public officers are concerned. If all private life is honest in all things, especially in casting voter, there will be less dishonesty in public life. No man should vote to fasten a tax upon his neighbor when ids neighbor is not benefit ted bv it. No such right can exist. On this subject of why there is so much dishonesty ill public life there ap|ieared in print hot long ago a sermon by Iiev. Dr. I. fc. Igelhart, of Newark, New Jersey, from which the following is taken: MAn opinion prevails that public vice is an attendant or rather an otlspring of |M>litica1 life, that if starts 'and grows and blossoms and bears fruit within the boundaries of public life, that the springs of vice arc Opened and that a foul poo) is opened •—a Dead Sea in a fertile plain. The tree whose rile top reaches into public life stretches down far beneath the Surface and has its roots in the soil of private life; the foul lake is fed bv springs that grow from the iudividfia) heart. In a republican form of itovernment the officers represent the people in character as well as service. They are the mirror in which the face of the )ieopte sail be seen. There are many noble men in office to day toho are pure as gold ami true as steel, who would scorn a bribe as they would a scorpion. We would expect to find such in»n to represent Hie large element of patriotic, virtuous eilhEetts that move in public life, tyc are not surprised to find corrupt politicians who represent the matt/ {-doers in private jife. The why flier*! Ire so maiyr thieves I jfiere are «o many other

t ilav. I rode on a street ear line that ’ 1 had stolen its way along Broadway. : It passed along Broadway where there are so many honorable and dis- ' honorable transactions. I rode by . the city buildings, every inch of which is inscribed by fraud. I passed by the B. & Q. depot, and thought of , one little man, of only moderate good t digestion, who took down thousands of miles of wires and poles and electrical instruments at one swallow, and looked as il lie felt better—who ha<T presently opened, his mouth and taken down engifiiis, passenger trains, freight trains, bridges and depot sand swallowed them with ease. I passed by the Stewart building and thought of the crafty lawyer that . put it and ever so much more in his pocket. Oh, what a parody on worldly success after all! One day shaking the world of trade by his ■ tread, and iu a day or two more his bones dangled in a sack at night, anil . were never found—his marble palace left* to the moths and spiders and his confidential friend and attorney. “The millions of lies that are told | in trade in one day ought to blister the tongue. For such a showing crop of public liars and thieves is thoinveitable harvest. The people are to blame. What is the cure? Let the suspicious he investigated, let the guilty be punished, let the parties pfTer their best men, and let the people defeat any man who has a blot on ' him.”

Arkansas. . That Indiana is not the worst place ' on earth is well known by those who have tried to know. AVe received a letter from E. W. Brsdtield a few , days ago, written from Paragould, Arkansas, Which may have a cooling , influence on those who get Arkansas fevers. Among other things he said: “This afternoon was my first opportunity to be on the streets of an Ar- ’ kansas town. In this town I saw a number of natives collected in a gronpe awaiting a marriage ceremony to be performed. The bride was a girl of sixteen, uneducated, half clad, and seemingly less than half wilted. ' The groom was a man of thirty-two, and seemed to be a native of some Arkansas swamp. The groom was ' somewhat acquainted in this town ' (Paragould), and had led the wouldbe wile a long and tiresome journey of eighteen miles to meet the people ! here who took up a collection of money to buy the license from some, " while others donated clotlics for them • to be married in. The Justice of the Peace performed the marriage ceremouv for nothing, and instructed them how they should live. From this I can sec how manners and customs differ from those in Indiana, for the Indians are not much ahead of the modern Arkansas settler^ whatever the Arkansas traveler may have been. 2 Fully two-thirds of the people in J this part of the country arc chilling. J It is common to see fifteen people at i each hotel lying helpless. This is t easily accounted for. The water is J drawn from wells ninety feet deep : and is as warm as the cistern water in Petersburg when the cisterns are filled from Summer rains. The 1 water has a bitter mineral taste. I have not drunk any clear water for 1 ten days. The water at the Gager Ilonsc, where I am stopping, is colored with oaf meal. I asked the land-lord why, and he said to keep the water from killing visitors. I am sorry I did not find Ponce DeLeon's fountain of youth. On cither side of Paragould lies a swamp 35 miles wide, uninhabitted by a living thing greater than a mosquito or a frog, and these are numerous enough and large cnouglr}to scare a native. If I live to see old Hoosierdom again J shall never want to see Arkansas.” t i Use of Flies. Many people just now are fighting and “cussing” flies from about 3:30 a. m., to 8 p. in., and asking mentally, “What, if ally use is a fly ?” The Chicago Globe has the following scusible words in favor of these troublesome little scavengers: “If you entertain the idea that some things were made without a purpose you must not begin on the little insect niusca domestica. The fly is the natural scavenger of the kitchen, the alley and the stable. They absorb with that trunk-liko bill of theirs a great deal of matter that if left alone would cause disease. If they were as large as birds they might do it more succcsfully, but their very object would lie defeated by' their size, as the house-wife would .successfully exterminate them with the broomstick, and life would become a burden. The ‘gnat-worm' and ‘wiggletail’ represent the only period, we believe, of usefulness of the guilt and the mosquito. In the embryo they cleu»e the water by gathering the impurities into their little bodies. Stagnant water is required to produce them successfully, and under favorable circumstances they propagate very rapidly,”—Worthington Time*. On last Thursday morning the ¥? M. B. A. Assembly of this county took a vote on whether the order should have a county ticket of its own in the Held for the coining county election. The assemble most wisely voted down the proposition to have a ticket. Ol those who favored a ticket there is perhaps not one who believes that such a ticket could be elected. All must know, moreover, that logo into politics In this way will annihilate the order, as such has been done to all orders that have had in view one thing and attempted another. The order ought to vote for (he party that comes nearest representing its principles,and in the meantime extend the order over sufficient territory and then it may more safely organize a parly, a thing which can never be done while the order ii confined to so | small a territory. * '*

Patriotic Words. At a fourth of July celebration by Tammany Hall, New York, a letter ! was read from ex-president Cleveland J with many others that gave voice to \ patriotic words on tlie nation's great! holiday. The words of Cleveland will bear studying closely. For Ibis reason we produce his letter as follows: Dear Sir—Mv absence from the city Lof New York and plans which I have already made prevent my acceptance of the courteous invitation which I have received to attend the celebration by the Tammany Society of the, one hundred and fourteenth anniversary of American independence. The celebration contemplated by our ancient and lime-honored organization will, it scents to me, fall short in the impressions done to the occasion itf it does not persistently present a ltd emphasize the idea that the Declaration of Independence was the protest ot honegt and sturdy men against the wrongs and oppressions of misgoverument. The reasons and justification for their revolt are exhibited in their recital of a long list of grievous instances of maladministration. They complained that their interests had Men so neglected and their rights as la wful subjects so violated under British rule that.they were absolved from further fealty. Our fathers in establishing a uew government upon the will of tlie people and consecrated to their care and just protection could not prescribe limitations which would deny to political parties its conduct and administration. The opportunities mid the temptations, thus necessarily presented to partisanship, have brought us to a time when party control is far too arrogant and bitter, and when in public place the true interests of the country are too lightly considered. In this predicament, those who love their country may well remember with comfort and satisfaction on Independence Day, that the disposition of the American people to revolt against maladministration still rent tins to them, and is the badge of their freedom and independence, as Well as their security for continued prosperity and happiniiess. They will not revolt against their plan of government—for its protection and preservation supply every [ inspiration of true Americanism. But because they are free and independent American citizens, they will, as long as their love and veneration for

their government shall last, revolt against the domination of any political party, which, entrusted with power, sordidly seeks only its continuance, and which, faithlessly violating its plain and simple duty to the people, insults them with professions of disinterested solicitude, while it eats out their substance. And yet, with all this, we should not in blind security deny the existence of danger. The masses ot our countrymen arc lirave and therefore generous; they are strong and therefore confident, and they are honest and thcretore unsuspecting. Our peril lies in the ease with which they may be deluded and cajoled by those who woiild traffic with their interests. No occasion is more opportune than the celebration of the one hundred and fourteenth aniversarv of American Independence to warn the American people of the present necessity on their part of a vigilant watchfulness of their rights and a jealous exaction of honest and unselfish performance ot public duty. Yours, very truly, Grover Cleveland. We hear a good many local would-be-politicians talking of the great good the McKinley tarifT bill would be to the farmers if it should become a law. They stand oil our corners and also at the housetops of their political ambitious and tell to the farmers a story of a great amount of imports of wheat that is shipped to this country and also tell at the same time of the tariffs paid on that wheat and of its benefitin preventing a competition to our American farmers, but they do not tell the whole truth; for that wlicat comes from Canada aud pays a tai-iff to get across the U. S. to New York and other ports, aud when it leaves those ports that same tariff is paid back to the shippers. Not any wlicat is imported that stays here except seed wheat, aud the farmer pars the tariff on that. Smart men, ihesc politicians that think the farmers are all gullible._ Years ago the old Whig party died an easy and natural death. When it commenced its dowuward march there sprug up such parties as Know Nothiugigm and many others which we might mention and which are familiar to the school boy, of today. At this time in the V. S. are springing up various organizations that would indicate that the people are much dissatisfied with something. That they are not dissatisfied with lVjuocracy so much as with Republicanism is evident from the fact that most of the new parties are advocating Democratic doctrine under another name The F. M. B. A’sand the Prohibitionists and the Democrats are very much alike on the majoiity, of questions, such as the silver question, tariff question, etc. If history really does repeut itself, as philosophers »8y, one oil the old parties is going to suffer If it does not go down. It can hardly he the Democratic party, because the principles it advocates are loved by the masses. The editor of the Petershmg News, we understand, is agitating- the putting out of a county F. M. B. A. ticket, anil is inducing iiiu friends, wherever he can, to advocate it. The editor of that paper, as ail know, has sit antipathy for that order,and would be glad to preach its funeral sermon. He knows lie would soon have an op-. Iiortunity to do so if lie could get out \ ticket of that kind. Let no Demoslat he decei ved. '.

& Washington Letter. Special to the DkxocEaT: The passage by the Senate of the bill setting apart the money received from ttie sales of public lands to aid the agricultural colleges Is of the greatest importance to education In this country, as it is in the nature oi an endowment of eight or ten millions ot dollars annually, although, under ibe present project, it is somewhat restricted. It is in fhe fashion to believe that the revenues from the public lands Will soon be but a memory of the past.but the people who thus reason^ do so without tbeif host. Look at some of the figures that bear the official brand; on this important matter: The total number of acies of public lands already surveyed in this country !* fully 863,708,172, not including Alaska, which is Just a little more than one half of the government domain. Of these surveyed lands there are at present in the poscsslon of the United States 253,067,178, acres, or considerably more than one fourth of the territory folly prepared for settlement, at least so far as the government is considered. The number of acres of public lands awaiting survey is 833^82,163 acres. This leaves the settlement as follows; Surveyed land disposed of 620,2i2^M3 acres; lands still in posession of the government, surveyed and unsurveyed.1,087,819,361 acres, It is true that-grants to' railroad corporations are to be substracted from these figures, and it is equally true that most of the land indisposed of is in the arid region. As an offset to this however, it only need be said that the indebtness of the land grant railroads Is mortgaged to secure the benefits arising from the disposition of railroad lands, and as to the second it might be affirmed, that with the progress now making both by government and individuals, thiB “arid region” will be made a blossom like the prairies in the life of men now living. It is a mistake therefore, to think that congress is only deeding a bankrupt estate to the agricultural colleges. As to the revenues derived from the public lands it can be said that within ten years the amount has been 873^)92,325,77. The smallest annual yield was In 1880 when the sum was 1,311,052,85 and the largest was 1888,11,595,319,26. Last year it was 88,175,162,70. A good many Indiana Ucpublican newspapers are roundly condemning ex-President Cleveland for not having attended the unveiling of tbe Hendricks monument. They say that he ought to have attended out of respect to the ex-Vice President. Just before (lieevent, at a time when those papers thought he would he there, and whe», in all probability, he ex-? peeled to attend, these same papers were pointing to the coming event as one which Cleveland intended to use as a means of curryingfavor with Indiana Democrats. Had it been so that he could attend, and he had been there, those same papers would have said he had no sincerity, but was there for the political good lie could do himself. They arc croakers, and croakers will croak.

As everybody is not buppv and prosperous, and never can be, there is a Democratic party. It is composed of the conservatives, the pull-backs, the growlers, grumblers, the kickers, the -disconted, the disgruntled, the dissatisfied, the disappointed. It is an aggregation of political dyspeptics, and its giant stomach is very sour,—Princeton Leader. We print the above that our readers may see for themselves -what bitterness there is in the political gall of some Republicans. It is about the’ kind of credit a Democrat gets for voting the Republican ticket. It is not necessary for any Democrat to feci hurt at what the editor of the Leader says. It is bis nature to talk so. It is a pity, however, that his ears arc not longer, so that the unsuspecting citizen „ might always know what He is without hearing him bray. During the last political bosses of the Pike county employed a lauorfng man from Ayershirc to make speeches to the Union Labor men at two dollars a day and expenses. lie made the speeches but did not get his pay' according to bis mwii statements. lie claims to have been studying since then, and to have learned that what he preached for the cause of the party lie represented is wrong. lie thinks the party in power has not kept its promises, and that the failure extends from the President down—even down to the local politicians of Pike county, lie is right and will do well if he holds out faithful, and there is good reasons to believe th&t he will. It is peculiar indeed, that, down in Warrick county, where the farmers have out a ticket in opposition to the old parties, and in opposition to electing any lawyer to a legislative office, they should have nominated a high tariff mau for Representative, and should have instructed him to vote for a high tariff lawyer and demagogue for U. S. Senator, when, as is well known, those same farmers arc opposed to high tariffs, and are decidedly opposed to lawyers in legislative offices. It looks like some political ringster had manipulated the whole aflair for those honest and unsuspecting farmers. Tiie Republican call for a mass convention looks conspicuous with its Democratic rooster put up to attract attention. And in the editorial comment it is slated that it will take every effort to carry the comity for the Republicans next Fall: That is true. Why not the Republican ‘‘official organ” tell why it is so? Such reading would he interesting. Let us have l lie reason for tho dissatisfaction agaiugt «lie Republican rule in the county. The “official organ” might give it without conceeding any more than it concccdcd when it stated that it will take every effort to carry the county next time. That Democratic rooster looks awfully out of place at the head of a call for a Republican convention in the Press. Don't blame the rooster, that bird knows liis business and is simply spying in tho Republican camp. The weather has not been cutting capers in Indiana only. The country aver it lias been about the same. So yon may not leave Goil’s country,yet a while with an assurance that your condition will he bettered. When lllaine gets done with his objections to the McKinley tariff bill Ihe people may soon after learn the difference between the Republican parly and its premier. Guve us sliver as well as gold. Plenty of money. Thar is llie rteliand of the Democracy who repeseut llic people. Let it be so soou. ],
