It is a matter which lie lias not studied, not being in a position lo give it serious thought, his obligations not demanding it. Should be study the question as he studied the message lie sent to Congress in 1888, he might entertain different opinions,.and lie might not. Unless his recent letter is explanatory ot Cleveland's kleas of silver coihagc, it is difficult to tell just how he reas4>u$#n the present money question. As manufacturing extends, the priee of the farmers product increases right here at home.—Petersburg Press. Take the price of farming products fifteen years ago and you will find the prices have diminished and raanufacluiing lias increased and extended. With this fact in existanee, how cau the assertion of Ihe Press be true ? A philosopher who cauuot get two ideas in iris head at once 19 not likely to be always eorrect. The Indiana Legislature got down < to business, and during the past two weeks expedited matters more rapidly, it is believed, than <1 id almost any legislature in years gone by. There has been much needed legislation. How well it has been done rcinaines to bo seen in the future. The people will he satisfied! with what they are henefitlcd by.

lonev makes high prices. W tbou<^nho value received will be no ’ more (hau when money is not cheap. Dear money makes low prices, and the valuo received will remain the same. These are the maxims that are urt tally observed in ifitiancial legislation, or should be at least. The Democrat is hardly prepared to say what the study has been on the recently proposed silver legislation. If free coinage will furnish relief, let us have It. ‘But who is prepared to say? In yiew of tho demand for free coinage, it would seem proper to adopt it. As this demand is from the people it , would be proper to try the experiment. Red (Cloud, the Sioux chief, addressed the Pale Face in a speech ex- _ cosing the actions of the Indians in their recent ghost dances and the late wars with the,whites, front which an extract shows his vivid imagination and humane feeling as follows: “We felt that we were mocked in our misery. Wo had no newspapers (hid no one to 6peak for us. We had no redress. < Our rations were again reduced. You who eat three times each day, and see your children well and happy around you, caVt understand what starving Indians feel. We were faint with hunger and maddened by despair. We held our dying children, and fell their little bodies trembling as their souls went out and f left only a dead weight in enr hands. I ourselves were very faint, and the dead weighed us down. There was no hope on earth, and God seemed to have forgotten us. Some one has again been talking ot the Son of God, and said he had come. The people did not know; they did not care. They screamed like crazy men to him for mercy. They caught at the promises they heard he had made.” The Chicago Herald, in a well considered and well written column article on Indiana gives the following paragraph which should find a place in the scrap book of every Jlooaicr: BTou minutes a day spout over a vol-; inue of vital statislistics would show: you at the cud of a week that Pennsylvania has the greatest number of insane persons, pur capita, of any Slate in theUuiou. and that six §tatcs appeal in the list before Indiana is mentioned.

REGULATING LEAGUES, There was a meeting at the courthouse on last Thursday night toi the purpose of organizing a Law and Order League. People distant from Petersburg, on hearing of this, will think Petersburg is uot only a bad plane, but that it is hell itself. The Democrat desires to disabuse the reader's mind of this. The editor has been in a good many Southern Indiana towns (luring the past fifteen years, in some of which he has resided during that time. While his ! observation is uot as good as that .of i -onie people, it has been sufficient*to ‘ each him convincingly that there is ’not a nicer, more orderly, or more nearlystrictly moral people in any own m Southern Indiana or any,i nen e.sc than those who reside in IVieiaburg. Many a man has been heard to remark that ho only wanted ,ii opportunity io become a citizen of tlii- '.own. This lias hitherto been inc sentiment, and no man, no difference how touch of an enthusiast, dates >a otherwise. No one but a I a italic will. Hiu.il is claimed, there ! are Violations ot the law that nod' looking alter; and that, while we anno worse here than elsewhere, it does notpPgnify that something should not be ififife to ipiprove thu moral sentiment of the town. Blit, if it is tin* | object of the proposed Law and Order League to take the law in hand and execute it, then the League itself is| against the law. Most Leagues of this kind are good to set some one else on, and when the law breaker Is caught, they stand gloof and see their executors defeated. As a sample of this, though not by an organized league, George Gullrck, when marshal ol Petersburg, entered a remonstrance against a man’s getting^license to sell whisky in Petersburg. When the lime came, Mr. Gullick went to the court-house expecting to find his pretended friends with him. Not a man was there. He hurried ofT and employed,an attorney, and having no assistance was defeated, and went away firmly convinced that the men who pretended to want Law and Order either did not want it, or were too cowardly to take a stand against what.they condemned. The Knklitx Klan was first organized bv moral enthusiasts who hud only good intentions. It soon involved criminals and the worst ol crime was the result. The only organization of the kind ever gotten up in Gibsou county resulted in the death of an accused, but as was alterwardV Jearuejt, an innocent man. All remember the uncalled Modocs of this county, and the loss of a valuable life ill the person of one Richie. In this case it was a member of a league that was killed. In Gibson it was one of tho other fellows. The proposed league here is not for the purpose, as the Democrat understands it, of executing the law, but for the creation of moral sentiment that will sufficiently embolden a witness to tell the whole truth, and to not be so cowardly as to even swear falsely in front of those who may be under indictment. The first thing to consider in such an organization is what can be done by it without violating the law. A fine of procedure should be mapped out, and the work of reconstruction should commence. They should stale, not to one-anothei*,biit boldly to the individual what they- will do in his particular case, and when and where they will do iL^-.If they can

hoi no inis wnmiui ! Iwamia mo taw no league should be fo'rfttcd. And if the members of th*’ league are too cowardly to do such a thing, they will he an egregious failure. The only thing such an organization could do would be to disgrace not onlythemselves, but the whale community, especially the town. We have had several organizations in. Petersburg. Wo cannot call to mind any good that has resulted from them. If this is to do likewise, better quit, foi its failure is sure to be one of the most damaging moves that was ever made in this community. It will give those whose practices it seek® to reform a new impetus, and cultivate within them the idea that thov are superior to any attempt against them. In view of this fact, who can now tell what, is to be the out-come of last Thursday night’s work. At that meeting statements were made about I lie violations of the law by saloons, drug-stores end some oilier places, which, if true, will establish a ease in any eourt. Those who made these statements certainly knew what they wore tnlkinsr about. These are eases which can easilv be attended to. If they will hunt up the evidence and indict these men of whom thov comolaln. they will then he practicing what they preach. Be .sure that what you know is not hearsay, and that con do what yon sav von wjll. „ When the Democrat makes an assertion, it gets the evidence in shape befrtre-hand. and stands ready to help produce the highest moral sentiment possible. If, however, the ors'anization under consideration is to he an opportunity for fanatics to spit their wrath upon (hose whom thev do not like, the Democrat will undoubtedly onoose it on the ground that it will be wrong in its practice and exlrtunely evil in its results. No one was ever made to become a religions devotee hv personally abusing him. You may convince by argument, and lead men, but you can not make them good by force. Fear of the devil never has compelled anvone to serve God. Political predjudice lias done the town more harm than any oilier one thing. There is no more predjudicc here than elsewhere, it is true; but the situation is so one sided that, no difference whom the majority party nominates, its candidates succeed, and too. often-1 hey are immediately tak'-u charge of hv those who have use for their friendship. If uieu will lay asido animosities ■* and vote for only such men ns will not miss an opportunity to enforce the law, this town will soou become a place in which the best citizens even where will want to reside. The men who have expressed their opinions ou organizing a Law and Order League have usually regretted that such a step has hceu taken. Thev say that it will disgrace the towu and bring it into shameful disrepute. They do not like this feature of the movement. The editor of the Democrat interviewed twenty men ftn the Organization. They wefe in no way identified with Ihs saloou business. Eighteen of them were opposed to it. while all of them were in favor of making a more careful selection of' town officers. Dyspepsia in all its forms is not nnly relieved bill cured by Simmons Liver Regulator. _ The Democrat office is prepared to do fine work for horse dealers. Call before ordering elsewhere. The Democrat is doing some very nice job work. If you want anything In tjtii line, call where II can be done.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN: KDITBD BY MBS. ADD1C WORTHAM FIELDS. r w'\s^W'.‘\A.W^'wr\A.'VVV*/V'.V' “Be *f good courage and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people.” Oua Natural “Y” Text Is “That our daughters may be as corner stones polished after the simultudeof a palace.” “Wanted, girls or mind and might. Wanted, girls >>f truth and right, Wanted, girls t" help.the rest, Wanted, girls, the highest, best.” Y. W. C. T. U.—Young Womnan’s Christian Temperance Uuiou. What Is. It? The Y. W. C. T. U., familiarly called the “Y,” is not a separate • •rganization hut an integral part of the \V. C. T. U. and is the organized form of the Department of Young Woman’s Work, which was created in 1880. The recognition thus given the work of young women, developed an interest and enthusiasm which had resulted, a year ago, in 1.362 Unions, with a membership *>f 31.409 young women, and an honorary membership of 6.640 young-men. In 1879. while the National Convention was in session in Indianapolis, the first Y. W. C. T. U. of Indiana was founded. To-day Indiana has about thirtythree societies with a membership of 1,200 young inen and women. A valiant and patriotic band marching on to the complete overthrow of intemperance and the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom, when “our young men shall be as plants grown np in their youth, and our daughters corner stones, polished after the simultude of a palace.” What It Does. The emblem of the National Department—the.tilv of the valley, the oak and ivy leaf—betoken the object, which is to develops in the character of its members, and others, the purity and modesty of the lily, the strength of the oak, the tenacity of the ivy. The lilac, emblem of the Indiana Y. W. C. T. U. keeps them in remen^ bra nee of this holy purpose. It s work is one of prevention rather than cure: its field the fome, the social and the educational world; its methods, I By social influence. II. By acquiring and disseminating temperance knowledge; III. By working lor the children, Kinder gartens. Kitchen gardens, Loval Temperance Legions, Teaching in Sunday school: and public schools. Reading-rooms for News-boys and Casb-bovs, Industrial schools for girls. Tea-rooms, Noon rests, and mntutual help clubs for voting women, and the beautiful Flower mission, are some of the many wavs in which they are banishing the little brown Judge from the home of the poor and the wine glass from the social circles of the rieh.

Stand firmly for truth. Then hail! to the army in beatify bedight! Whose garments are white. Whose soft silken banners in churches and halls. Hang bright on the walls; Whose voices of singing, whose mission of flowers Cheer sor-ows dark hours; Who give us to hope fbr our homes and our land That peace is at hand. (Mrs. 8. M. L.Hpnry.) Notes. Over eleven t lion sand Dcmorest medals have been distributed since 1886. That means can yon estimate bow much? Seventy per cent, of the bank officers of Nebraska have declared themselves in favor ot prohibition on purely business principles. Father Mathew’s immortal pledge was. “For mv own sake, for the sake of others, and for the glory of God, I abstain.” An Alabama editor has lately become violently insane from cigarette smoking. The brewers declare that the beer thev make is pure and wholesome, vet they very much opposed the bill introduced into Congress which prohibits. with severe penalties, any adulteration of beer. Tt is reported that the syndicate brewtrs of Chicago have decided to cease advancing money io saloonkeepers to proenre license. Probably 1.600 saloons will be closed in consequence. i The man who engages in that traffic (liqltor) can not bv any process of reasoning place himself on an equal footing with citizens who sell other products. They are a part of the legitimate commerce which is a blessing and not a detriment, hut the liquor traffic is another and very different thing. It is tolerated, and that is ail. The sentiment of the age denies its natural right to be; and the highest court of the country confirms that opinion. —St. Louis Glolte Democrat. That sixty per cent, of thesludents i attending the Toronto medical College are pledged total abstainers is a fact in which the friends inperanre may well rejoice, \ \ “I. myself, abstain altogether from alcohol. I do not consider %C necessary or helpful. Certainly one of the greatest enemies of Germany is the misuse of alcohol. A healthy man needs no such stimulant, and to give it to children, which is often done, is absolutely wicked.” —General Yon Moltke. Do Something. Everyday and every hour convinces us more and more that we need te do something for the permanent developement of the natural resourues of this county. Here in Petersburg are opportunities of Which no one is taking advantage. If the citizens will do something in the way of letting the out-aide world know what this town and county offers, prosperity will begin to dawn upon us. Let us be up and doing. _ ■ Amusing Situation. It iias been amusing to note the positions of the people Oil the present money iasne. There is no one party specially committed on ike question. The Democratic party ia more nearly defined as in favor of free coinage than any other party, and the voter* in that party are not a unit by any mean*. The ca*ual observer can look on the present situation with a good deal of amusement._ The most of our ailments oome from disordered liver which Simmooa r-grjr _

I $r==THE O/RL ABOUT TOWN. I like woman suffrage. That’s why the Girl About Town is in hard luck ift the matrimonial market. To increase my chances, I wish to explain how well I like the new idea that came into existence some time during the birth of mother Eve, and has ever since gone up and down the vecissitudes of the ages as they ca r.e and went —sometimes partially recognized, sometimes a stranger, and always recorded in the history of each age, as now, a thing of beauty but never a reality. Take the severest history of woman’s subjugation, the Old Testament, and you will find that woman usually carried her points, effected her objects. She has had more to do with this government, all along the line (even at Washington City) than either men or women are willing to admit. Woman suffrage, in my estimation, is all right as far as nature will let it go. Did you ever see a little girl that would play horse, at marbles, or a boy that loved to play with a doll, or did you ever stop to ask why most dolls are girl babies? You no doubt have noticed women, except smart ones, who are almost ajways ugly, look well with all the fuss and feathers they can get on themselves. But a man, bless his scanty ears, (we should know him if it were not for that), put a ladies Spring hat on him, and look at him —a monkey in a necktie! If you can answer these things, you can perhaps tell why it is that women do not take to governmental affairs. One so wise might also be able to tell why woman did not take her place on an equal standing with man from the very beginning; why many women are good poets, but only two have ever become noted mathematicians; why they are physically, smaller; why an anatomist can tell the skeleton of the male from that of the female even from the skull. Still I am a woman suf

iragist. l warn my way, anu i miu no small army of fanatics waiting for woman to vote in order to remedy the evils of our lands. It may be a long time to wait, for I find women doing evil as well as men. See Pike county jail. Compare the morphine, opium, and whisky drunkards, and if there are not about as many women among the number then the Girl About Town will have to get a pair of “specks” to see wherein she has been mistaken in her recent observations. These things I mention for the benefit of the lords of creation, for I have lately been afraid that the turn that has been taken in behalf of my side of the human family might cause the men to lose what little self-respect they have, or even cause the gentle sex to go quite wild. I came very close to getting engaged since I saw you last; or, rather, since you saw me last. He was a jolly, good-looking, goodnatured looking soul who picked up courage enough to ask the plain, honest question that I had been pining to hear. But I was not pleased with him, though his question pleased me greatly. Said I, “young man, what is your age, your prospects? What have you accumulated in the way of booklearning? What’s your profession? What can you do to support the Girl About Town? What about the necessary red flannel and other articles that might become a necessity right in the middle of the sweet subsequently that so closely follows such happy events as you want me to join you in? What say, young man?” He looked at me as blank as a last Summers’ bleached moustache, and said, “Don’t mention it.” Well, I thought I wouldn’t, and I tell you this as a matter of explanation only. So we are not married, and the sweet subsequently and its necessities will never come; nor will it, with me, nor with any girl about town, if all of them will refuse the hand of any young man who has never Jbeen able, with both his brain and muscle, to accumulate more than supplied the necessity of a neck-tie. Not a cent in bank; not an item on paper to show that he has ever existed, except the birth record and the delinquent poll-tax list, and he old enough to be the head of a prosperous and happy family. A word to ye church member. You say the saloon is wrong. That you are willing to help put it down. I saw you tested last week. A petition was brought to you asking you to sign it. It was for not allowing any more saloons in Petersburg. To stop 'the licensing of them altogether. Did you sign it? A good many of you did not. A good many that never say long prayers did. Now, what I want to ask is why you did not. Do you believe that the saloon is for or against your religion? Does it make morals any better? Does it elevate, refine, beautify the soul? Does it niake your boy fit for a husband and citiaen, or your girl fit for a Christian mother and wife? Woe unto you that strain at a gnat and swallow a camel! If the mighty work that has been done in Petersburg, had been done in heathen Africa, that people would have conformed to a better code of i ethics long ago. < . * 1 . — i

New Monopoly. A huge scheme to light the devil irilh fire is about to be developed by Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa farmers, by which they will try to t^ui stock and grain dealers at their mercy. These same tanners have appealed to their legislatures for laws Lhat would eurich them at the expense of other business, and, not getting such laws, have commenced tins scheme. They <x»mtemplate preparations that will euable them to hold their produets for high prices. This Is more nearly an honest proceedure. l'be plan first adapted (asking lor Ian s against their neighbors and for themselves) could never be looked upon with any very great degree of allowance. Those farmers will yet have to learn, however, that supply and demaud, governs the -prices of what they sell, and that it will take a good deal of hoarding on corn, wheat, pork, beef, etc, to produce a scarcity sufficient to raise prices. What they need to learn, or many of Ihem, is the fact that the tariff laws of this country have cut ofl' our foreign markets, destroyed our commerce, etc. This lias lately been virtually ackuowlegcd by Sect-elan lilaine, who wains to make treates with other countries with a view, as In' claims, of opening markets lor American products. The trouble with him is the fact that he wants to open the ports ot only agricultural stales, which will open markets lot? the New England inanutacturer of toner than for the American farmer. If every man on earth were permitted to buy and sell where be could do best, then the industrious and economical would always succeed, and if anyone became a millionaire it would not be off the labors of others, especially on account ot the Tariff. The farmers need to study what it is that puts the balance of trade against them and all other laboring men. ^_ Liquor License. No license were granted to sell intoxicants hero until Saturday tore-uooii. On that fore-noon tieueral McDowell was grunted a license. On Friday petitions were circulated to prevent any one s getting such license. About four-hundred names were attached to tin petitions. They were presented to the commissioner?, and speeches were made by J. W. Bain, D. D., of the M. E. church, and by llev. C. H. Fields, ot the Cumberlaud church. 'ihe speeches were not of a character calculated to have the desired effect. A good constitutional lawyer should iiave been employed *to make the appeal, for the very good reasou that, it it is true, as is claimed by many, that the “ranting of liquor licenses depends on the option of the Commissioners, there evidently are law points that no one but a first-class lawyer can handle. Those who were opposed to granting the license now think they made two other mistakes : one, the not beginning the circulation of petitions in time; the other, not filit g a remonstrance directly against the individual applicants aud trying to sustain it by sworn evidence. One ot the-Com mlssioners, Wesley M. Chandler, refused to sign any papers granting ihe license. The applicant is very well satisfied with the result, and is sustained by quite a number of business meu and by a goodly number of the church members. Among those who opposed the granting of licenses were drinkers, saloon hums, and vagrants, hut most of them are the very best citizens, 'This illustrates that some meu act from pure motives, aud some tor mercenary interests.

We are inlormed that the t'resa editors are publishing by means ot printed matter the circulation of the difl'erenl. papers of the town, giving the Press a larger rating than the Democrat, and nearly four tiiiie> larger rate than the Ne>es. Now the News is given, we are told, only about four or five hundred by the ‘•Know it Alls” of the Press, and the Democrat not. quite nine hundred. The facts are that the News has twice the circulation accredited to it by the Press, and that paper’s estimate is a? far wrong on its estimate of the Democrat's circulation. The editors ol that paper know nothing about what it puls in print. At one lime when the Press claimed twelve hundred and fifty readers it* office devil was wetting down only thirty-one quires of paper, or only seven hundred and forlv-four copies, and it was during a campaign when the Democrat was putting out nearly fifteen hundred copies per week. The Press would better be holiest. Life <>f General Sherman. No literary announcement "f the year is of greater interest to the general publit than that of a comprehensive Life ofGeueral Sherattn, which is about to be miblished anti sold through agests bv the noted house 01 E. R. Curtis & Co., Publishers, Cin., O. Ad mirahlc biographies of Grant and Sheridan complete t - the time of their death, are al readv familiar to the pubiie, but a life o the third great commander, to finish the se ries, has been la. king The various biog rapines f Sherman hitherto publsbed hurt necessarily been ineompl te; and even hie own memoirs, written in 1875, said almost nothing of his Intensely interesting early life, and not a word, of course, of the nr -r. than twenty years ot social activity and fraternity w ith old comrades since the war The work which is now to be issued wil splendid I v supply the widely felt deuianc for a histnrv or the great strategic com mander. It'is being written by General O O. Howard, a man ot fine literary attain ments, who knew Sherman better than any Other of bis comrades now living.and ranked next hut one to him in the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson, whose ability as a historian is familiar t>> the reading publit of America through his former unusually popular works, have had millions of readers, and the sales of their vast editions en ricbed an army of book agents. That this history of Sherman, the last of the greal Generals, will surpass all others in popularity is not to be doubted. The story of this great General’s career u of amarveious march from the mountain! of time to the sea of eternity. Ol the thret great war heroes, Sherman was by far th< most interesting personality. He was the best known to the public and the best loved for his genial disposition and warm svmpa ihy with the popular heart. He liias joined his illustrious compeers in the eterna bivouac of the dead. His is a life to study —to emulate—ana is a profound inspiration The forthcoming volume will tell the whuh story of his marvellous career, and from the authorship engaged upon it, we are as sure.; it will be told in a way that will en thral the attention and interest of every reader from first to last. It is a l>ook every American will want and one every American youth should read. It will doubtless be the best life of the great chieftan pub lisbed, and we predict-for it wonderfu popularity.
