UUR TICKET. ■«. — l?or The Next President, .GROVER CLEVELAND. For Next Vie* President, ISAAC F. GRAY. For Next Oov. of Jmttana. Wm. E. NIBLACK. PRlSOJf REFORM. .. The Warden of the Stale Prison ” forth, lias tliis to say of Prison Replorm: v! •‘Close observation and my experience in the management of this inf Ktitution have shown no {rood reason lor changing sentiments reapeatedly expressed, in regairtl to the reform alion of criminals. ' “That classification of prisoners separating the younger and less hardened from those grown old and steeped in vice is the starling point in any measure of reform, ther^can be no question and I woiald strongly recommend the establishment of an intermediate prison, where the offender and novice in crime, may he confined and so graded that only those worthy Of confidence and trust will reap the reward of this system. 1 “This method of treatment is no ^onger a mere experiment and until such an institution exists in this state wb cannot hope for any considerable diminution in crime. ' “The value of gobd home influences cannot bo overestimated, for among *ali the causes that led young men astray, lack of early religious training must ever occupy the foremost place. “Many conversations with different prisoners has strongly impressed upon ■my mind ,!his fact, and many a story hf early temptation resisted and overcome by the memory of a good mother bar been told, but as a usual Thing tho stories contain a picture of cheerless homes, dissipated parents or orphanage, and if instead, of sending tliis class of prisoners to1 a penitenaiarv where the same rules must govern all, the hardened criminal as well as the first offender, an Infermediate prison were established where the rules could be relaxed and more encouragement given to industry and study, mud from which the prisoner could go out into the world, feeling that though he had offended against the law vet his crime need *■<>• ^nean perpetual banishment -from f socleiv, hifrlhat if he proved worthy many a cheerful wo.a and friendly 'act awaited him. His release should klepend n|x>n the assurance his conduct had given the proper authorities nf his determination to reform anil ‘/or violation of conditions under which he had obtained his freedom •lie Iks rcturnd to till his unexpired time. 0“Under the administration of Governor Williams, a system was adopted whereby men were released upon parole before the expiration qf their sentence and has boon continued to f he present 11 me.' It has been productive of good results. The duty of “deciding upon the merits of all applications for Pul'd on or Parole has developed upon the Governor. The many demands upon his time from the other duties of his office make it -impossible for him to thoroughly inyestiggto each of .the many appeals made to him. To obviate this it is recommended that a Board of Commissioners be appointed to examine and decide upon the merits of all elaims and report the facts aud their ’•pinions to the Governor for his action. Under thin -system greater t justice could hi done !o those men de--serving of clemency, hut too poor and friendless to procure necessary paper a to present to the Governor. “Some years ago we abolished the lash as a mode of punishment here, and the result has been highly gratifying. Under the milder forfn ol punishment now In use infraction of !thc rules are not more than one-half ms numerous as under the old method, and the discipline is all that could he desired. 'It is a pleasure to chronicle ’this fact, to know that as a means of -reformation or punishment, the lash gnd shackel have outlived their usefulness and i)iul even tlic most hardened of our convits prove more susceptible to humane treatment than to 'harsh."

The fight la Oo. There U au extraordinary wail regarding the past performances and present objects and purposed of the Farmers’organizations in Iowa going up from the Republican press and politicians of that State.. The late election left its greatest wounds and , scar* upon Ihe Republican party in Hie northwestern counties of Iowa. That section had always hitherto been so Arm and unyielding in its support Of Republican candidates that no scyioits defection was feared there. The 'numerical strength of the Farmsocieties was recognized, of it was realizW that the lajurft? of the mernberJepublicans. Tlib party •/relied -upon tlio old aiid paMisan "They

cvey vestige of old party- nifiltatirns. The Republicans know that they were hit, and are beginning to'ieaHze who il nas that hit them. They are accepting the challenge, and the war is now on. The Farmers’ movement is described iu many 'quarters as not only visionary but pernieious and revplutionoary in its tendencies. The effort is evidently being made, particuarlv on tradelines, to consolidate the towns and cities against the

country. Driven out of its sectional attitude and policy, the Republican party take* fittingly to the work of organizing the urban against the rural districts. Will not the farmers learn that the Democratic party is their best friend We think so. The Petersburg JVeies u ants to know if it is the County Auditor’s duly to furnish the township assessors a set of I looks describing the location o( lands and town lots, and to furnish records on which shall be transcribed the sehool fund loans. By way of information we may say that no official is compelled to buy books for the county, and that there can be no office without a reasonable compensation. Some salaries are too high and some are too low. The auditor has to pay his own clerk hire. This makes his salary small enough by the time lie is done. As evidence, ail Pike county’s auditor’s failed 19 make money out of I lie office. One, A. J. Patterson, lias considerable property, but he had most of it betorc he was ever auditor. It is not so much what an officer gets himself that makes him expensive to the people, hut what he allows others to get docs sometimes make a martial difference to the people. Since the Republicans got such a defeat in .November last, their papers have been making some ridiculous statements. They reason like this: “This is a great country*; we have a tariff; therefore the tariff has made us great.” “Wo have large and varied industries.” “We have a tariff. Therefore the tariff has made our industries.” They might as reasonably say: “We have had born so many babies; wehavea tariff; therefore tlio. tariff Isas tints increased our population.” “We have great natural resources. There is coal, and iron, and gold, and silvei, and productive soil, and clay rich in allnininum; we have a tariff; therefore the tariff is a blessing for our country is also great in natural resources.” To hear these defeated people brag about that iniquitous tax being a blessing is at once amusing and disgusting. They would make you believe that every blunting is due to the tariff, and that a beneficent Heavenly Father has nothing to do witli the people any more. They make this wondertul Tariff the great Baal of this, the nineteenth century. The future of tho Democratic party never looked brighter than it does today, and the rank and file qf the party look, us they have a right to Took, to the leaders of the parly to exercise the greatest car? to see that no step is rashly taken that will have a tcndei\> cy to mar the brightness of that future, If such care be taken we have a reasonable right to expect not only to eontrol^tho House of Representatives of the' Fifty-third Congress and elect the next President, but also to have a majority in the United States Senate after March 4, 1S93. Republicans in Congress fear a discussion of the tarifi more than anything else that can be brought up, and for that reason Mr. McKinley |tas withdrawn hN resolution providing that the tariff law shall not abrogate the Uawaiin treaty. Hawaii is like all tho rest of the worhl—shut out; and from present indications it will remain in that condition until the Democrats get a chance at national legislation. Ip the bill reducing the pension attorney’s fee, for obtaining an increase of pension, to $2, be defeated in Congress tho old soldier will know how much honesty there is in the love for him expressed by Republican stump speakers.

The public sentiment of Iho country is overwhelmingly w>lh the Democratic Senators, in their efforts to defeat the Force bill, and will continue so, no matter what tactics they may adopt to accomplish the desired end. Europe is slowly catching on to American ideas. Vienna has just extended its limits; ala Chicago, in cider to take in all of the populous suburbs, and now she has a population of 1,315,626. From a bushel of corn the distiller gets four gallons of whiskey which will retail at $16. The government gets $3 60, the farmer gets forty cents, the n-tailer gc(s'$7 and the consismcr gels drunk. * The reduction of postago to one cent would greatly cripple the postal service, benefit rich men, and increaae the revenue tax of the masses. It can not be considered a measure iu the interest of the whole people. J. D. Armstrong. editor of the Oakland City Record, is a candidate lor secretary of the 8enate. There is no reason why he should not receive a favorable support for (hat position. John D. Carter, of Orleans, Indiana, is' a candidate for Secretay of |)ie gCnalc. He is a good man for

Exactly So. The Republican State organ thinks it is all right for Indiana to he deprived of one Congressman and one Presidential Elector by a census that was clearly taken for partisan purposes. Of course the State organ would approve any infamy that might bo done in the interest of the Republican party, but if it thought Indiana could possibly be carried by the Republicans i* would uot he so complacent over Porter's outrage. Its position, contemptible as it is, is a liort of admission that it considers Indiana a Democratic State.—Eeansville Courier.

Who said llie McKinley Bill did. no good ? It elected a Democratic H»use of Representatives. Judging from the way the Alliance men set down on the Force Bill at their last national couveution, the farmers must certainly opi»se bayonet s.n^ __ The Bulletin is a firm believer in liberal pensions, but it looks with no favor upon the givingof$25 per month to a man worth half million dollars in this city,while o ther and deserving old soldiers are starving.—Ewnsville Bulletin. __, Tna previous question in the Oklahoma Legislature seems to bo one of who can hit first. Tho rjiles governing that body seem to be those of tho London prize-ring and for every motion laid on the table there are two or three men laid on the floor. s The Sioux claim that the Indians of that tribe were not fully counted in the census is probably correct. The Federal Constitution does not provide for the enumeration of Indians as a basis for determining the number of Congressman and Electors. If it did the Indians in Dakota would have been counted up. The Republican party needs everything Dakota can give it. _^ Between the gold men, and silver men, and bond men of the U nited States Senate chamber is almost as lively a place as Kilkenny, Ireland, and the Republican leaders, if that demoralized parly can be said to have any leaders at this time, are in a state bordering on distraction. In the meantime the country suffers for legislation to relieve the financial dist ress. One pretty plan is for the government to borrow money it docs not need from the national hanks at 2 per cent., then to take back the new evidences of debt as security, pay the hanks the interest on them, and allow the banks to issue money on theiu' to their face at stivn- additional interest as tho law allows, the people to pay the score. Finance is undoubtedly the most abstractly beautiful of all coix^te sciences. It is the poetry of abstraction, in fact . If Evansville will only support the papers already long estabSisbed there, the city will find no use for establishing new ones. The reason why tho papers there are not as great as the greatest is the lack of patronage from the citizens who are making such a kick for a new journal. Let them learn this and all will be well with them. The city will be greatly benefited by such a course. Try it, and be convinced. The Indianapolis Sentinel says; There .is neither sense nor justice in paying a judge a $3,000, or $3,500 a year, while the clerk who records the proccedings-of his court, or the sheriff who executes its writs, receives four or five times that amount. To fit one for the bench he must have had a long course of ectal study and some experience at tire bar, while for the clerical or executive duties of the officers of a court, no special training Is required. The compensation of the different classes of officials should be equalized. J

There will be fortv-five fanners in the next legislature, 4 merchants 3 manufacturers, 2 teachers. The remaining 19 represent nineteen diflerent occupations. Sixty of the one hundred members are natives of Indiana. In the senate there are 21 lawyers, 15 farmers, four bankers 2 physicians and one of each of the following occupation^.' merchant, teacher, druggist, contractor, Jouralist, real estate agent, plumber. Of the 50 senators thirty arc natives of Indiana. Senator Stewart is so far tho only Republican who has dared to stand up like a man and Icll' his colleagues that he would not tie bulldozed Into supporting the Force bill, which he believes can only make trouble, and very serious trouble, if enacted into a law. His speech, wiiich was mainly addressed to the Republican Senators, was a strong arraignment of the bill front a Republican stand-point. There are several other Republican Senators who think with Mr. Stewart, but it is not probable that any of them will follow his good example by attacking the kill, although Senator Paddock is said to have told Mr. Harrison that ho intended to vote against the bill. Senator Gray, of Delawarj, has some sensible ideas about recipfccitr, and has introduced a resolution in • lie Senate authorizing the administration to open negotiations for the purpose of forming reciprocity treaties helween I lie United States and Me*ico, and the United States and Canada. Notwithstanding the fact that reciprocity treaties with those two countries would Ins of more real benefit to country than all of Mr. Blaine with ntral American fteisn’t the slightest he Republican Scnl Mr. Urey's rosolnI reciprocity ilia l the I only

A Few RepaMiraas Otter Orertmre* to D«*torrats on ^llver Coinege, sad said Base crats Will Tote With Tk«« Far Help Against The Force BUI. [Special to Pike County Democrat.] Washington, D. C., Drc. 29,1890.—Senator Hoar did uot, it is a safe thing to say, enjoy his Christinas dinner. He was too badly disgusted at his failure to get a vote upon the Force bill this week. He thought he was all right the other day when he offered a resolution proposing n recess until 8 o’clock in the evening and a continuous session of the Senate from that time until the bill was disposed of. But, behold! when noses were counted there was no quorum present, and the [mint was quickly made by a democratic Senator who had remained in the chamber for that very purpose, and most aggravating of all to Mr. Hoar was the fact that, in spite of all his coaxing and threatening, seventeen republican Senators were among the absentees. The republican mountain, after weeks of painful labor, has brought forth a mouse in the shape of p rule to cut off debate at the pleasure of the majority which has been reported to the Senate by Mr, Aldrich. But the democrats are not at all alarmed; on the contrary they are confident of their ability to defeat this proposed ’ revolutionary overturning of tbe precedents of a century, and in any event fully determined that it shall not be done until every parliamentary expedient has been exhausted in tbe effort to preventife Senator Vorhces made the speech of the week against tbe Force bill and his picture of Messrs Harrison, Quay, Dudley and Huston posing as the friends of honest elections while the rank corruption of the Presidential election of I88S was with its “blocks of fives” fresh in the minds of the American people, was as vigorous a hit of rhetoric as the “Tall Sycamore of tbe Wabash” ever uttered. His denunciation of the attempt to colonise southern negroes in West Virginia and Indiana, which was fortunately exposed before it was consummated, was very bitter, but not more so than it deserved. Senator Gray also did some vigorous talking «u defense of the people of Delaware, whom Mr. Higgins, the accidental republican Senator from that State, had grosely slandered in an effort to justi'y the passing of the Force bill. If Mr. Harrison wished to select a gentle, man entirely without a national reputation to succeed the late Justice Miller ou the bench of the United States Supreme Court he certainly succeeded when he nominated Henry B. Brown, of Michigan, to the vacancy. Said a republican Senator: “It was reajjy amusing when the nomination was anuonneed to see prominent Senators going from one to the other in order to find put who this Mr. Brown is. The Michigan Senators speak well of him, but I doubt if there nfam dozen other Senators who ever heard of him before.” Representative Blanchard, of Louisiana, has offered » resolution in the House providing for a general Indian investigation. The same gentleman has offered a resolution Instructing the House committee on Banking Currency to report a bjll to increase the amount of money in circulation to *39 per capita. He sets forth in a preamble the fact of ii8 being impassible in many parts of the South to get an advance of even |10 a bale cm cotton, owing to the scarcity of money. The republicans of the Senate are getting their party into a nice snarl on the financial question. The recent republican caucus approved a bill, in the hope of conciliating tha free coinage republican Senators, that provided for the issuing of treasury notes, based on purchases of silver bullion to make up the deficiency whenever the amount of national batik* circulation fell below *180.000,000, hut the Finance Committee to which the bill was referred when introduced, has cut out that section of the bill entirely and put in place of it one, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue *200,000,090of 2 per eeut bonds, and the amended bill has been reported back to the Senate by that strong and vigilant foe of silver. Senator Sherman. Tha silver men are mad as hornets and Senator Stew, art has already offered a free coiling i amendment to the bill, and overtures are being f made to democrats to support it. What the democrats will do depends largely upon what action the republicans Who favor free coinage take upon the foree bill. Senator Stewart will do all he can to get them to oppose it.
