Yes, cheap sugar is good and desirable, and we are glad to have it; bnl why isn’t it jost as good and desirable to have cheap clothing, blankets and farm implements? Reciprocity, according, to the protection organs, consists in securing the abatement of taxes for other Rations, while heaping higher the taxei on onrown people. Under the Australian system ol ballot, raenarepractiealiv free to vote as they please, and no hammer 01 officious Intermeddler can interfere with the blood-baptized right of freemen to vote their eonvirtions. A town can never be anything except what the people make it. II the people are idle and unconcerned, the town will be like them. The contrary is just as true. If the people are full ot life and enterprise, the town moves and prospers.

The growth of the city is largely dependent upon the efforts of its citizens Don’t be afraid to talk for yonr town, but do not expend all your energy in talk alone—that has been too largely our fault in the past. Mix it judiciously with elbow grease, and ptft yonr money where it will do good. That is the hray to build up prosperous cities. The general results of the city elections over the Slate show a varying outcome. The democrats are here and there defeated or worsted, while in many places they make notable successes. On a general view of the field we think wo should feel very comfortable over the outlook as presented. Local matters operated to make changes against us where there was little real cause, and gave ns successes where not expected. The fallacy that the public author? itjes cannot close the gambling houses aud pool-rooms when they wish was never more thoroughly exposed than by the exodus of the Chicago gamblers as soon as Mayor Washburne took office. They did not attempt to resist the order issued by the mayor, but promptly closed their rooms, took away their gambling apparatus and most of them left the city to ply their occupation elsewhere. It is to be hopwj that this >vill not he a spasmodic attempt to prevent public gambling in Chicago, but that the visitors to the world’s fair may see as an exhibit of Americau political life a city free from the resorts of gamblers. The tramp seems to be a nuisance upon water as well as upon land. The officials charged with the enforcement of the immigration laws state that the reputable steamships are honestly endeavoring to observe the laws and compel their emigrant passengers to conform to their provisions, but the so-called “tramp steamers” are evading and ignoring them. They are leased to parties golely for immigration purposes; the emigrants are packed in like cattle, far beyond the capacity of the ship; and they are brought over and dumped upon our shores with not half the attention that would be given to cattl.e. Their best business is done >vith Italians, who, instead of being alarmed by the affair at New Orleaus, are crowding over here as before, aud there is every reason to believe they are not restrained by their government from so doing. Solving the emigration question has only just begun.

The campaign of education will Steadily progress and as steadily increase until a grand victory for tariH reform will be recorded in the next national election. There will be nc cessation of work during any portion of the time, because the work to be doue is solely a work of'education, and once started it is sure to progress. The people have become' thoroughly aroused. They have opened tkeii eyes and are looking about them. They have seen their interests ruthlessly sacrificed to the protected lord* of tlte couutry. They have seen tin gradual piling up of the burdens, out upon auotfter, until they stand fortl: like mountains. They have been squeezed and pinched and plundered aiid oppressed by one infamous devict after auolher, contrived solely to ben e|U the monopolists. They have fel all the bitterness of poverty, wan and misery, while,the rich barous tv hose great wealth has enabled then to control their tools in the Kepobli can legislative hall, have grown richei and richer. Seeing all these thing* fhe people have started to learu hovt such oondition of affairs can possibh exist among intelligent peoplo ant why it is permitted to exist. Tt answer these two important question they have commenced a course of ob serration and iuquiry. They are read Jng and reflecting. They will continui to read and reflect, and thus the cam paigu of education will go right alonj until the end is reached. Cau an) well informed man entertain au hon cat doubt as to what the result of sucli a cam paigu will be? The people wil triumph gloriously over their oppressors and rid themselves, for al lime to come, of a villainous polio) that robs the many to further euiict -_* the tfW.

The Bngaboo ef XaKInleytNa. Again the specter of an isolated tariff policy by the United States appears on the horizon in Europe where merchants are preparing for representation at the World’s Columbia Exposition. In England especially the movement to obtain an adequate volume of world’s fair exhibits is hampered by the reiterated claim that the McKinley tariff law has dwarfed the British merchant’s prospect of commercial profits in this country. The English press teems with references to the new tariff wall around this country erected by McKinleyism. And yet, in spite of this perversion of public sentiment, there is every prospect that the British people will be well represented at the world’s lair. The British government has taken up the matter with true public spirit, and will exert a powerful influence in inducting a full representation of Great Britain's leading producers. It would be well if the world’s fair promotion and publicity bureau should counteract, so far as possible, the exaggerated ideas of McKinleyism that seem to be prevalent in European countries. Europeans should he informed that McKinleyism in this nation is practically dead and that the next congress will almost certainly modify its most oppressive features. It would doubtless facilitate the preparation of world’s fair exibits in European countries if it should be clearly understood that the people of this nation have emphatically rebuked at the polls a policy of tariff isolation. McKinleyism should not be allowed to militate, even in a remote degree, against the success of the World’s Columbian Exposition.— Chicago News.

The grand jury reached the same conclasion concerning the New Orleans affair that had already been expressed by fair-minded men throughout the civilized world. Society will protect itself when the ordinary machinery lor its protection fails. Under such circumstances it is unexampled to indict an entire population, for the affair had the countenance and support of society. The report of the jury may be considered as a final answer to the demands of Italy. It is difficult to see what the United States Government has now to do with the matter but to accept the results of the inquisition of the grand jury under the Taws of Louisiana, aud with that result it is probable that the amrument of Italy will have to be qH^nt. Only one of the victims is known to have been a subject of Italy, and he was an escaped convict. If Italy demands ah indemnity for the life of this convict it will be for Congress to decide whether it shall be paid. * Tue new town council is composed of George Goodrid, Dr. IV. II. Link> Erastus Johnson, William Laverty, and George E. King. It goes without saying that they .are gentlemen, and moreover have the best interests of the town at heart. In view of these facts and the issues upon which they were elected, we may expect to see fewer violations of law and less disregard for the rights of the civiliau; to see saloons kept closed, frout and rear, on Sundays, after lawful hours at night, aud on holidays, election days, etc.; to see means provided that will make it unpleasant for vicious characters to go to jail—something in the shape of a roek pile for the benefit of those who want to “board out” their fines. The new board and Marshal Sam Smith Will, The Democrat believes, do tfieir duty without fear or favor, and that will be a happy reform in favor of law and order and Intelligent progress.

At the Vtncennes election on the 5th inst. the citizens’ ticket was successful, Its mayor, marshal and four councilmeu ont of a possible six being elected. The majority for mayor was four and the marshal’s fortythree. There was only one candidate for treasurer. Thus the citv government of Vincennes passes from the control of saloon-keepers into the hands of honest and respectable people. It was a great victory for the law, order and progressive citizens of a rum-soaked city. It is thus showing its determination to keep up with the marvelous tcmperauce growth all over the country. It was high time that a redeeming wave strike the pretty but wicked Old Post. The recent local elections iu Illinois are evidently a surprise to poltiiciaus and must awaken new interest in the liquor question. Under the law Illinois towns can vote upon the question of license, and a very large number voted “no license.” Where license carried, iu every case we saw reported, the majority was very sipal). There can be no question that, outside of the cities and large towns, Illinois is opposed to licensed saloons, high or low*—&’<• Louis Observer. At their meeting Monday niglil the city council passed an ordinance ■ to regulate the saloons. The ordinance requires the keepers of sa- ' loons to close at 11 o’clock p. m. cacti ' day, at which lime they are to rem’ove i all screens and obstructions from their windows, so as to give a view of the interior from the outside. Sa loons are to remain closed in thii ' manner until 5 o’clock a. m., and al 1 the day on Sundays and legal boli- ' days.—Princeton Clarion The advice of a man eminent it . commercial circles is, “Avoid a tigh r squeeze.” Don’t you do anything o ! the kind, girls. It’s no outsider’i business—the only things to conshlei are the ability of the squeezer and the willingness of the squeezee. These es tahlished, you cau make it as tight hi a cider press, and nobody’s hurt by it Bowels irregular and constipated I resulting in piles, avoided by taking Simmons purer liegulslor,

In late year* a deep interest has been taken in the improvement of country roads, and the best evidence that the farmer is emancipating himself from the bondage of custom and conservatism is that he is giving mnclr thought to this matter. Indiana has taken long strides in the direction of securiug good country roads, and the free gravel road law enacted bv the legislature of 1889 has paved the way- for an advance in this direction far beyond that made by any other western state. . Iu an address to the New Jersey state board of agriculture Mr. Channcey B. Ripley contributes some interesting and valuable information on the subject of good roads. In one portion of his address Mr. Ripley has got down to the actual cash value of improved roads outside of their comfort and beauty. He shows that real estate has doubled, trebled and quadrupled in value since the construction of Telford, roads from Orange to Dover, N. J. One of the chronic grumblers against taxes for road improvements in Union county, when asked if he would consent to have the road restored to it3 old condition in order to save the taxes, replied: “Well, as I shall not be required to pay more than $2 a year for the rest of my life, it would not be worth while.” The travel has increased on these roads ten-fold in a year’s tijme. “Since the law went into effect,” says Mr. Ripley,«“real estate values in Union county have advanced nearly $1,500,OtX), exclusive of property advances in Elizabeth of about $700,000 more.” This statement was made iu October, 1890, and work under the county road act was begun only the year before. So rapidly has real estate advanced since the roads were made better that one of the largest real estate owners in the county expresses the opinion that the appreciation in future values will cover all the cost of the improvement, a In addition to this, the farmer is enabled by the improvement in the thoroughfares to hanl twice as heavy a load with his team, thus working a decided economy in the matter of time and energy expended. Ail these things go to prove that the farmer's expenditure for road improvement is his niost profitable investment.—Indianapolis Sentinel

Our Homes. If you do not have a happy home then there is no happiness on earth for you. *It is the duty of husband, wife and children, each and all, to do everything in his or her power to make home the happiest place on earth. Our homes are what we make them—either heavens of rest or hells of torment. If fathers and mothers would do more to make the family' circle a place of pleasure and confidence, there would be fewer wayward boys and girls. The future happiness and prosperity of oiir nation depends largely upon the home influence. Every young man and woman who becomes of age and goes out into the world to do and be for himself or herself, carries the impress of the home traiuing. The boy at school, on the street, in public position, or wherever he may be, iu language unmistakable tells the world just how he was trained at home. 1 n nearly every instance thieves, liars, murderers and law-breakers of every character are such from their home training. The boy that persistently resists the authority at home, and who is not restrained, is almost certain to become a violator of common and civil law. Make pure aud clean our homes and then, aud not till then, shall we have a pure and clean people. An Ideal Community. The perfect town is that in which you see the farmers patronizing the home merchants, the laborers spending the money they earn with their own tradesmen, and all animated by a spirit that will uot purchase articles abroad if they can be bought at home. The spirit of reciprocity between the business man and the mechanic, tradesman and laborer, farmer aud manufacturer, results every time in making the town a perfect one to do busiuess in. Perfection should always be desired, eveu where attainment is barely possible, but a perfect town is, we are sorry to say, at present ouly a reality iu the miuds of the thinking, progressive citizens, and they are too few to leaven the whole lump. £

Indianapolis News: We had iu this cjty Saturday the attempted suicide of a youth eighteen years old. Brought to his hotel Friday night Iu a helpless state of intoxication, the next day he aims a revolver at his heart, and when picked up he is only able to say, “I was once a good bov ; now I am a total wreck. Poor mother.” A hopeless drunkard at eighteeu! And yet our laws forbid the sale of liquor to minors. A qncorly-matohed couple were married iu Webster township, 'hear Fort Dodge, Iowa, the other day. The bridegroom, A. Daniels, weighs exactly 408 pounds, while the bride, Miss Mary Diugmau, weighs only eighty-five pounds.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN: KD1TKD BT Mrs. John B. Gough is dead. The liberty of the individual ceases where the rights of society begin.— James G. Blaine. Mother Stewart goes to the I. O. G. T. convention, Edingbtirg, Scotland, opening May 30th. “Every dollar spent in a saloon is a blow at the family, amt the family is the defense of our nation.” So long as the devil can have the first chauce at the children, he don’t eare how high we build onr church steeples.—Barn’s Horn. “The great mistake in living is the keeping of two separate selves—one that would be and one that is. Let us strive to uuite the two,” Mrs. Helen Gougar, who has a national reputation as an able advocate of woman suffrage aud prohibition, spoke at Princeton last Fiiday and Saturday.

U„ sails May 13th from New York as a fraternal delegate to the British Woman’s Temperance Association convention, which opens May 26th in London. She has been invited also to act as delegate to the World’s Congregational Council, which opens .July 12th in London. The drinking, chewing and smoking population of the United States spend fifteen hundred millions of dollars in liquors and tobacco each year; there is one rum saloon to every 107 voters east of the Mississippi river, and one to every forty-three voters west of the Mississippi; 250,000 saloons in the states and territories of the Union. Waste enough of hard substance to feed, clothe and pay the house-rent of every family in the United States. Hans Saurmilch continues his talk of last week as follows: “Der vas a lime ven two friendt’s vould meet uud ockschangc der gomplements uv der tay und ten part.
