Captain James E. White, ef Indianapolis, has publicly announced that henceforth he will vote the Democratic ticket. . A few oi the knowing politicians are predicting that neither Harrison nor Cleveland will be a candidate lor president in 1892. ‘ t W. C. T. U. columns are published $n the majority of papers. The larger per cent of readers are pleased with them, although ,a lew are displeased. The great James GiUespie Blaine is engaged in helping the brewers and distillers find a market for the beverages of hell. What is this counjtry coming to ? THg gerrymander must be stopped by apihe means. It Is simply a species of ^---^ighway robbery.—Princeton Leader. Well, then,, why don’t the Republicans stop their thieving gerrymanders in several states ? M ajoI? Mckikley is quite sure the results of last week’s elections may be construed as a Republican victory. He was equally certain last Novembei that the State elections had no political signficance. ■The United States government .wants good citizens to come from other conntries to this, but does not want the ofl-scourings of creation. This is likely to lead to the enactment of stringent immigration laws by this . ^country. _ e o fntnpR fm* PpIPl’fihlll'.Cf.

ere are now not houses enough to omodate the people. As Spring ens, business is reviving, and the iwn seems to be ou the eve of. a great boom—the only thing necessary i set it a going is energy ou the part of the citizens. TnERE is room for but two great parties in any country. If the Prohi.tion party becomes a power it must be done by breaking down one of the ,old parties—either the Democratic or the Republican—just as the Abolitiouists broke down the Whigs. This will yet be the result, unless one of itifi present dominant parties empanels a good temperance plank in jheir platforms sometime in the near futuro. Refusing to do this, one of them will be swallowed up. \ German Socialists are highly ' indignant over the fact that their great leader, Bebel, is living in luxury in Berlin, in a magnificently furnished house, with extensive wine cellars, etc., and the same time is posing as champioi^.of the masses and denouncing the capitalists. They should .come over here and sympathize with I)ie Kansas Alliance, who behold their apo-tle, Jeremiah Simpson, stopping at a six-dollar-a-day hotel in New York, driving about in a carriage and -enjoying high life in the metropolis. -William Mason, of Patoka township, Pike county, is certainly a very old man—ninety-two—but h^ has a sister, Mrs. Davis of Monroe township, who was ninety-six the seventh of |ist January, and who is still living. In Warrick county there is a man, James Hinman, of Hart township, who voted for Jackson every time that distinguished personage was a candidate for president. All these old people have lived strictly moral Jives^ They are living examples for young people to follow. s The press reports state that the promeh of Kansas registered and voted in larger numbers than ever beforehand that their interest in elec's; tions and activity at the polls have augmented with each election. At L t^ vtropeka there was an increase In reg- \ ' istration of over four hundred over any previous year;. at Witchita the increase was 300.; at Leavenworth, 250; at Atchinson, 200. Dispatches from all the cities indicated that the 7~y*teof the women, compared with the registration, was in the same proportion as that of the men. Mme. Romeo, in speaking of the funeral of the late Wm. T. Sherman, said: “itoppressed me to think of that family returning to jheir hpme to be left all alone in ^ - that darkened house where memories stand’in every corner and look at one I from every picture. Now, in Mexico, L we manage that better. We have l"- jvhat I think is a very comforting custom. In a few hours after the return of the family from the cemetery all the friends begin to arrive at the J tonse, and for nine days they visit with them, endeavoring, by cheeful conversation, (o draw their minds from the great loss sustained. There iiadfeVp hilarity, only the truest and * deepest "lyjnpaljiy. AM the oaMcrs wear mourning costumes, and failure 1 .}*“• to visit the family during the allotted |ime la considered a serious breach of * .etiquette, frequent allusions are “ ie to the good qualities of the d, bpt tjiere is no time for broodto intensify the grief, and at the of tpc nine days the geepnoaa of ' of desolation js worn off; s are ready to take Isn’t that an improveway ?

Am exchange sums up the amendments to the Australian Election Law about as correctly as you can get it as follows: “Permits parties to pay one challenger and poll book holder not to exceed $3 for services. No candidate’s name shall appear more than once on a ballot for the same office. The "device at head of ticket shall be enclosed in large square, and the manner of marking is changed to conform to this—a straight ticket must be stamped in the large square at the head of the ticket. An additional supply of the state ballots and stamps are provided to replace lo3s. The initials of the poll clerks are changed from the tower left hand corner to the upper right hand corner. Employers and employes may agree on whatever time for voting is necessary and convenient. Provides penalties for the mutilation of ballots by election officers. Excludes “watcher” from the election room. A man who desires to vote for another whose name is not on the ticket, may have compiled-a complete list of persons for whom he wishes to vote and paste it on the official ballot. He must then stamp in trout of the names so pasted on. There must be no distinguishing marks. Various points that were in controversy during the first trial of-the system have been defined, made plain. The registration clause thrown out by the supreme court has been reinstated, so changed as it will conform as nearly as possible with the decision. No person shall register for another or advise another not to register. A violation is punishable with from one to five years’ imprisonment. It ha9 an emergency clause.” The result of the election in Chicago is a healthy sign. We say this not because a Republican was elected, tart because of the circumstances winch led to his election. Carter Harrison.had been mayor, and was not the most successful one, nor the safestfor Chicagoans, for he was an encouragement to the anarchists be-1 cause he was not as severe' on those outlaws as the safety of the people demanded, and was, therefore, indirectly the cause of the great Haymarket massacre. The people knew this, and there were enough Democrats who would not vote lor him to defeat his election. TJuder Creiger the saloons and gambling dens and bagnios held carnival, and he, too, was relegated to private life. Thus a city that usually elects a Democratic mayor elected a Republican. In St. Louis the exact opposite was the case. The Republicans had held sway there most of the time. The Republican party in that city tried to elect a man whom the sober-minded citizens knew was not the proper one. The Democrats had made a good nomination, and the vote showed that the people chose good Democracy as agaiust, bad Republicanism. Over two men Who had been tried and found wanting in Chicago a new man was elected, as yet untried. These things portend that a healthier political condition is growing rapidly even In the cankering sores of this nation—the great cities.

There is a great deal of howl about the tariff coming off of sugar this week. The republicans sayiug that it knocks the wind out of the opposition to the McKinley bill because the price of sugar will be off two cents. Why such reasoning we fail to understand, for, if making sugar free makes it cheaper If would be well to take the tariff oft of every thing. But the matter summed up assumes a different phase than a great many suppose. The tariff is taken off and a bounty of two cents a pound paid to the manufacturer which makes everybody help pay, be they consumers or not, and instead of this tax going to the government it goes into the pockets of private corporations. Can you see the drift of it ? To allow the tariff ou the articles only allowed the corporations to divide with the government and ouly made the consumer pay the tax, but by a bounty they get all of it aud make everybody help pay it. Two cents a pound about pays tbe cost of production and the amount for which it is sold is clear gain. Two cents a pound cheaper does not help the cousumer because the two cents must be paid in taxes. See the difference? This is one of the things that will be used by the democrats on one side and republicans on the other to start the tariff light in 1892. Look out for it. —Laborer's Light. One of the leading and most valuable changes in the school-book law by the last legislature is thattrustees shall furnish all poor or indigent children with books, who are so poor that they cannot get tbe benefits of tbe public schools. This is a worthy revision and one that will receive the sanction of every true spirited person of the state, as there are most generally in each township children who are desirous of receiving tbe benefits of the common schools but whose parents are too poor to secure the necessary books.—I’oseyville News. This provision, like many others In our laws, will be a good thing so long as it is not abused. It will be iu order for trustees to furnish books to those who are really too poor to buy them, though such people be ashamed to ask for them; and the trustees should see to H that no frauds take advautage ot this.law aud beat the public out of something when they are able to buy tbeir own books. . 1st Grippe Again.

There is a disposition among all tbc churches, my own not excepted, to seek the ascendancy. My own church, however, has been out-stripping the others in this country. I account for this on the grounds that the catholic church is made up more largely than the others from the poor classes. The ultimate result is-going to be in favor of Catholicism. How do I account for this? Very easily. The poorer classes, of whom my church is composed more largely than are the other churches, have larger families than the richer people. These children the catholics bring up in the faith. That the wealthy, the fashionable, and even the intelligent are not oiling the commandment to Adam*o ‘‘multiply and replenish the earth,” may be observed in any town. Go out to the very slums of society, to say nothing of the decent poor folks in the churches, and count them and compare their families with the pretended goody-goodies. You will find large families among the poor, even in squalid poverty, and among the more intelligent classes you will find frem none to one or two children. Take the saloon keepers. Almost all of them have families, and large families. Take the protestant ministers who marry and object to my church because the priest does not, and the respectable size family is the exception. Not only of preachers and high-lifed church people who marry and have no children is this true, hut it equally applies to the fashionables. These things ye know because ye know your own sins. Ye kuow the facts and the why; but the result is the serious consideration. The tendency of the intelligent is to marry and to avoid the burden of bringing up a family. The ignorant are multiplying by the millions, and as has have gone down, an ignorant, degenbeen the case in all the nations that erate race will be the inevitable recnit The nations of the earth must

go too if their intelligent people are t^ggnean to obey God Almighty’s command to Adam. The remedy to be applied in time is a careful watch over the flocks that are under the care of the preacher—catholic or protestant. Let them ostracise any one who is known to indulge the murderous conduct that is every day going on among the high classes and the preteuded good people. The only safety, as I heard a prominent physician say in a lecture, is a destruction of the idea in the popular mind that it is not fashionable and therefore not nice to hear children. Teach the people that marriage without fruits is a (disgrace, and that transmission ot good moral traits of character is a great duty of parents. Teach the young man that, if his fashionable lady friend insists on indulging habits that will unfit herfor the arduous duties of a Christian mother, and persists in making him the rival of her poodle, lie should live a bachelor or find a better woman. Teach the young woman that she must know, without trying the experiment, that the young man who spends one-half his time with his necktie and the other iu the saloon, is the very man by whom she can never bring up a family in the nurture and admonitiou of the Lord. Teach the very ministers and teachers themselves that they must be a living example of moral men, and that their wives must be moral women. While' we are sending missionaries to foreign countries to convert the heathen to the ways of our own people, let us not entail upon them some of the sins of our boasted civilization. When we subplant polygamy with monogamy, let ns not subplant the' heathen’s idea that it is a disgrace to not marry and bring up a respectable family with the idea of modern Christendom that it is a disgrace to bear children. Let us be moral iu all these things and when we prevail upou a young man to reform his ways to those of Christian people, he cannot point to men and women in the churches all over the Christian world and know tlial without doubt his sins are of another kind hut not as black and damnable as their own._ FREE SUGAR. Ever since the 1st instant, when the sugar schedule of the McKinley bill went into operation, the high tarifl organs have united in a chorus of jubilation over this solitary important reduction of duties in the new tariff, They cite U triumphantly as a specimen of McKinley prices. In all this there is a strange forgetfulness on the part of the exultaut organs. They do not remember that “cheap and nasty” are svnouymous in the Mckiiilev vocabulary, They put out of sight the campaign assertion that cheapness is un-American. If cheap sugar is so good a thing, what is the matter with cheap clothing, cheap iron, cheap tin plate, cheap hardware, cheap buttons, or cheap agricultural implements? If we should rejoice in the reduction of the price of sugar, why should we uol grieve over the advauce in the price of carpets? Let ii he added that the expression “free sugar” is a misuomer. The sugar which our people commonly use is net free. It is taxed oue-liall cent per pound. The raw sugar which goes to the refineries is free; the sugar .above No. 16, which includes the grades which go into ordinary consumption, is still subjeot to tax. The consumption of sugar in this

country has been about three thousand millions of pounds yearly. On this the Sugar Trust levies a tribute of half a cent a pounds or say fifteen millions of dollars per year. Then the bounty to be paid on raw sugar produced at home will take ten millions more, and perhaps a larger sum in the course of a few years. Thus the new law surrenders fiftyfive millions of revenue, but provides that the taxpayers shall pay nearly half that amount to the producers and refiners of raw sugar. The treasury loses the whole sum, but the people save but little more than half. This is the Republican plan of relieving the burdens ot the people, but it is not the whole of it. As an ofifeet to this reduction of taxation, the McKinley bill increases it on nearly all the necessaries of life that can be reached by tariff duties at all. And they as*k us to believe that, while they have cheapened sugar by potting down the rates, they have cheapened other commodities by putting them up. And while they profess to have been reducing the revenue they have increased expenses at the rate ot otie hundred millions of dollars per year. The Republican party should examine itself and ascertain whether it is really in favor of. cheap_ goods or not, and if 'ifls, whether high duties or lotv ones are calculated to cheapen commodities. At present, it makes rather a sorry figure by trying to take both sides of each of these questions.—Courier Journal.’

The labor problem is, after all, only the people’s problem; and to put a stop lo the conflicts between capital rod labor, to put a stop to lock-out rod strike, to boycott and blacklist, to idleness in the mine and mill, and squalor in the workman’s cot, put a plaster over the door of the dramshop.—John Lloyd Thomas. PAYING STRIKES. Many and urgent are the questions that the working men and women of to-day must help to decide. But whatever may be said of methods in general, and of special methods, as strikes, in particular, as a temperance woman, I am confident that the best strike is to strike against the saloons, pnd then to strike against all politicians and parties that do wrong to the workingmen. Those are the two strikes that will pay.—Francis E. Willard. WHAT WILL LABOR DO? The question will soon be answered. Labor will soon find its true allies- in the Prohibition reformers. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! You can bear them coming; millions of wage workers, the best brain and muscle of the nation, the party of the people, with charity for all, and malice toward none; united in a holy warfare, pledged not to level down the rich but to level up the poor; sworn to turn every man’s home into a little heaven upon earth; resolved to strike down the rum-shop and its party allies, which prevent the People's Progress from Poverty.—John Lloyd Thqmas. PLAN OF WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT OF RELATION OF TEMPERANCE TO LABOR. To present our views clearly on the subjeefof total abstinence; prohibition of the saloon : weekly payment for working-men; pay on Monday rather than Saturday; twenty-four hours’ rest for the working men on Sabbath, rather than continuous toil, and shorter hours on Saturday ; prevention of child laborsecurity against fire in large establishments; use of all protective appliances to preserve life and the body from maiming, such as the use of patent coupling be tween cars, instead of maiming one out of seventy-five, and killing one out ol 117 brakeman eyery year. Have good lectures, showing the disastrous waste of wages, etc,, by 4he liquor traffic. i, Get together the statistics in your '■towns of the waste from the saloon; the number of families reduced to beggary; the orphan children left without protectors; terrible murders commited in the saloons and cost of the trials; amount spent foi bread and butcher’s meat; and that speut for beer and whiskey; see kow many workiugmen haV9 their own homes ; and how many live in tenement houses, show how $900,000,000 is spent in the saloon yearly, and that this drain comes largely upon the working-men and farmers, and not upon the rich. “ Show them that the saloon-keeper does not do a day’s work from year to year, vet gathers the fruit of their hard toil. Distribute temperance literature. Wherever there is a working-man’s , debating club, get some wise woman to join it, who may influence the scope and character of the debates and be able to give a reason for the faith that is in her in the matter of temperance. Also read on the eight-hour movement and the single lax that you may be informed ana have opinions. Then gather accounts of what has been done in the shape of building comfortable homes for working-men, in various places ; also endowing for them libraries, reading-rooms, churches and schools.
