e-i n Mk. Harrison was ejected President by a minority of lhe people, and lie was rcnoniiiialcd by stales that are not republican. But what difference docs il make to Benjamin, so long as lie “gels there?” Chairman Carter of the yppu.bjican national co.uiiiMt.toe is being scorched for his “Footprinfs of Time” swindle. Carter was a book agent -some years ago ;agd swindled the good people of Nebraska out of sevI ey^l thousand acres of land. They now remember him am) w/jl now return the .compliments to him. The republicans of Afonroe City are having a red hot time oyer the ppstoffice. Mi- Akers, tjie present p. m. is accused of being a ranlankeyoup prohibitionist, and the regulars waut him to step down anctcut, but he refuses to let go and will '‘fight it out , if it takes all summer.” If it were not f^r offices the republican party would be a slim affair. " Manager t). C. Fitirjc. of the Catnegie Company, was shot last Saturday while sitting in his private office by a fellow giving bis uamo as Bergman. Bergman is supposed to bp an anarchist pin) in the ci/iploy of Herr Most/ua pjrJii.tpjr. T)»e culprit should be given the full ejttenjt of th,e jt/.w at ids trial. What influence it will have on the strike at Homestead it is impossible lq tell, JFrick will lpcover. Af if. /nesting of the Hendricks plijib at jp.t. Wayne, Saturday nigh) three more ot the prominent republicans of that city joined the club. Exmayor Harding, who was elected as a republican to the majority of that city by over 900 voles, is one of the most popular vole goiters in that city. Andy Purman, a prominent lawyer is another recruit. Old Allen will giye at least 6000democratic majority this fall.

that w< aua iiiuivio ui naiieaQ nave iuii* lions of bushels of coru to sell, while tho people of Mexico are actually starving. At Ban Luis Patosi corn is worth from I2.C0 to 3.00 per bushel yet the McKinley tariff bill will not allow the exportation of coru into that country. Where is protection and reciprocity ? The United States have the coru and Mexico wapts jt, but how is slfe going to get it. Qreat is McKinley Bill. To claim that the republicans are "afraid” Is ridiculous. Just a tew years ago Ugadl Slapped aud knocked out the Udwu south.—Keivs. rats Fire-alarm ! Bio.— .. ,, , . see; thepc werej^^5 '8 '*![. f ° S Pike con litv^J*^ S0,di** ,from o wcut to the frout democrats. Uue half of soldiers of ihe Union army were democrats. A large number of the largo slave owners were republicans. Now fop iipy jn«n to jump up aud gay that the republicans put down the rebellion is preposterous and out of reason. Btill you will occasionally find a wWu. Ex-3heriff James W. Brumfield rushes into print this week aud says he is no t a candidate for any office, pot eyun the post-office in the event that Harrison should pull through. Well, Jimmy, if yoar statement is correct, and you say it is, and you do uot want office, we shall not pjace you in nomination or run you as a dark horse. But to he canefit) $})out the matter James W. Brumi|ojt|'§ name has been mentioned in connection with the°recorder’s office whether Jim hankers after it or not. Time will develop all tilings. Some editors «i)|| false a howl aboi& the new tax law. At the sapio time some of these wo^ld be republican newspaper men probably pay as mucty three dollars into the county Ireasuyy.apd sometimes don’t pay that. In Pike county the new tag law has towered the taxes of the farmer as well as other classes of people. The a flairs of this county has beep very economically administered and much credit is due to Auditor Frank Bilderhack, who is at all times watchful as tp where money is expended. Pike county is all right ou the new tax law.

1 f I r I, it n if II r I. Let it not be forgot leu tbmt Governor ilorey recommended to democratic legjs(att|res the new school book law and the now (at Igw, recommending an increase of the state tax more then fjpubje that fixed by the legislature. Gan it that republican editors are mad at democrats because tliey passed the school bppk law recommended'by Iheir governpV ? Are they mad becauap the democrats did not nftse the levy to 36 cents, as recommended by their governof? Or are they toad because the new tax law increased the appraisement of railroads 130 percent, while it increased raa{ p$|ate only 46 per cent ? Mi:.

the -of* flve campaign was conducted In Indiana In 1$88. Leading republicans are openly admitting all that The Sentinel has charged against the republican boodlcrs, and piore. Sena tor Wajcot*, of Colorado^sfty,s that at the Chicago convention four years ago the Harrison managers from Indiana—New, Michencr et »1—declared that IIatrr,ison’s nomination would assure Jiidijyia to the republicans, and gave assurances that if be was nominated they would take care of the state without outside help. “But in less t l,i a a tbirtydays after the conveutjpn adjourned,” says Seuator WalcjftU, “these fellows began begging for money, and £,$pt it up until the election. Why, it cost more money to carry Harrison’s own state for him in 1888 than was expended by both parties in campaign in all the other states put together.” Ji will bo remembered that a short time before the clcctioii Partner Miller and Russel garrison went to Chicago on a begging expedition, while John C. New went to Omaha and Denver op a similar errand. It appears that th? tci.cgrgph was also used to get boodle from oilier quarters and l hat dispatches were sent but fox ibis purpose peering the signature of the very virtuous and pious Benjamin Harmon himself. A leading republican of the .Northwest, in an iiitefviojy ip <?ne of the Minneapolis papers, tells an interesting story, and I have no doubt it is as true as it is interesting, lie says: No one denies that the wicked men of the party voted for Mr. H^frluou. Some of them jjke Mr. Quay. Col. Dudley, Mr. Platt, Qea. Clarkson nod Mr. Elkins, even went so far as to override the righteous counsels and dutiful protests of good and vtrtuouB citizens— Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Wanamaker and others of that ejas$—and raised money by the most secret and unworthy processes to aid providence and destiny tn foreclosing the divine decree. One single instance pi the doings qfoue of these wicked men may be here introduced as an example: On the Saturday before the election In 1888 a telegram was received at Minneapolis from one of these men announcing that “Indiana bad been canvassed; that the books showed a majority of 3.UOO or 4,000 for the democratic ticket; that to aavathe stale from the clutches of the enemy something besides prayers were needed; that 175 000 would make republican victory sure In the Hoosler slate; that republican cities throughout the north had been assessed according to their wealth to raise this sum; that the Minneapolis quota jvas #5,000, etc.” In the southwost corner of this telecram were Masoned the words: “This Is the way I understand the situation.” Signed, B. Harrison. Indiana has for years been a doubtfttl state: lienee Indiana has always been consulted aa tou>en who should beohosen a party leaders 'in every national struggle since <he war. Mr. Harrison, four years ago, was aoleoted not because of promtuent fitness for the exalted position, but on account of the doubt attaching to bis state. Col. Dud ey would ohoerfully testify probably (It he dared to speak out) that Mr. Harrison’s home popnlarity had to be reinforced on Saturday before^ election or 1888 by 875.008 In by the republican Dudley’s *ord ilsd north. Col. was not enough to neciiflil, t)£|)Ce >|ie glowing indotscinent, “This Is the way 1 understand the situation!” There is an Australian election law in Indiana now, and as Mr. Harrison cannot buy the floaters he will bn beaten as he would have been in 1888 at an honest election.—Indianapolis Sentinel. 1

4 11 is Bnucombe. Reports are being circulated by the Protection organs in this district that a large number of democrats in Gibson county will cast their votes for Twineham for congress. This is buncombe. The idea that a democrat will so far forget himself as to vote for a retntblipan for congress is preposterous. Mr. Twineham, we will all admit, is a good Christian, temperate gentleman, but a vote for a republican congressman in this, the year 1892, means a yote'for: A force bill—which would cause a race war in the south. Protection to Carnegics and other millionaires, that they may grind down the laborer and get richer themselves. The white washing of such iflon as Uanm, the pension commissioner. Billion dollar congresses. The McKinley bill. 4nd a thousand and one other things apposing good government. The Lord himself could not carry the First District of Indisna on the republican ticket this year, and the scheme tq slip an advocate of McKinley into congress with the aid of democratic votes is “too thin.” Arthur II. *J\«ylor represents everything that Glorious Grover Cleveland does,' and Isis majority should lie at least 1,000.—Mt. Vernon Democrat.

While the Press does not agree with The Democrat on many questions apd especially that in regard to Mr. Taylor's majority in this district, wo have the pleasure of kuowing that jt‘ concedes -that Mr. Taylor will be elected by at least §00; but the News goes the Press some better and gives Mr. ^'avlor at least 2.000 majority.

ANOTHER COLOSSAL MONOPOLY. Ik* Direct Remit of High Protective Tariff. * We learn that arrangements are in canine of preparation for consolidating the great western bituminous coal prop* erties and the railroads therewith connected into a huge monopoly, fashioned after the anthracite combination recently consummated by the Beading company. The details of the scheme and the personnel of its promotion most ffgnain for future ascertainment; bat meantime the ultimate acompHahment of the pro^eot seems to admit of little *Uhe really serious question suggested by this fftpt is whether the people of the United States consider that they have any interest in it and propose to have anything to say about it? Do they roppose they hare aqy rights affected by the scheme; and, if so, are they prepared to assert them? or do they choose to watt supinely until those fights have been put l>eyond the avail of protest or law? What‘is coal to us? The chief source of Industrie power; the propelling force pf our railroads and steamships; the almost exclusive agent for converting our ores and working out; metals; the source pf our artificial light; the comfort of oar itcipes; the means of preparing our food; it in short, the one agent tlpit, next to the vital air, ^ above all otiten essential to the Infinite rainifipitiomr of qivili-! Wtion, l 1 It is a manifest purpose in the constii of things that whatever is most 1 i to human subsistence and be most absolutely free; lbei

as that the supply of aar^hoald be unrestricted. No possible affront to the common rights of humanity could match in boldness and injustice this attempt to put the prime source of human welfare under the explosive control of £ qtere handful of capital owners. Viewed in all its bearings, this scheme, and equally the Reading combination, is one of Ut most flagrant attempts to constitute an overwhelming tyramgr pt vwe$thever perpetrated. If monopoly is to ,be .quietly permitted to thus fasten its grip Ujpon the motive power of our industries and commerce, what may not be next attempted in the way of subjecting the national liberties and the national development to the will of a petty pll-controlling class? The question this new movement ppts boldly and squarely before the people is neither more nor less than this—shall our industry and commerce be subjected ,to the unrestricted control of an absolute monopoly over each interest? Does the public common sense need to be Uniformed that such control would te more ' arbitrary and more obtrusive to the development of this great country than the! most despotic form of political gqyern,meat could possibly be? And having rejected despotic political institutions, are we prepared to tolerate a still more destructive despotism of wealth?—New York Commercial Bulletin. The Indianapolis Journal on Labor. The tyranny of labor organizations qver labor is far more absolute and galling than that of capital over labor. The real slavery of labor is that imposed by labor unions.—Journal, Jane 11,1889. Five dollars a week is low wages, but it is not “pauper labor” by a good deal. —Journal, June 18, 1889. ' In Great Britain coal miners receive from $1.06 to $1.12 a day. The miner’s lot is hard enough, but at the lowest wages ever paid or offered in the country the American miner can make a good deal more than the foreign miners work for all the time. There is no “panper labor” in the United States. It is an insult to call any man a pauper laborer who can earn even a week.—Journal, June 18,1889. Of the 338,000 divorces granted in the United States during the last twenty (rears, 319,000 were granted at the request cf wivsa.

Exclusive Rights Are Dangerous. No town or city, says the Marion Leader, should grant an exclusive or perpetual right of any kind to any syndisate, trust, combine, corporation, company or indivi4nal, go matter how tempting may be the offer made in rerum therefore. The world just now is moving too rapidly, its strides are too mmense to permit such an act of lunacv, so be considered, even for one to £gtf>etTfttesr> great 1JkK against prosperity by thus tying iheir hands. A single day is liable to produce improvements and results absolutely dwarfing anything now in existence. No perpetual or exclusive rights thonld be granted under any circumitances. It Has the People's Confidence. The old cry that the Democratic party eras incompetent to manage this government has been refuted by the honest, excellent and efficient administration of Elrover Cleveland. The people know hat the Democratic party has the ability, intelligence and integrity to handle the governmental affairs 5 equal to any >ther party. The party is growing stronger each year and now it is ready 'eg another victory. One of the best ways to succeed is through an honest, thorough organization, and we enjoin this fact upon the minds of every Demount.—Bloomfield Democrat. Be Relieved iu MeKinlejtDm. B. F. White, a prominent Republican Farmer near Thorntown, refused tp sell bus wool (dip last spring at tvrenty^ve tents, but thought to await the promised benefits vouchsafed wool-growers »y the McKinley bill. Recently Mr. (Piute took his wool to Thorntown, where he was offered for it twenty cents t pound, providing he would take half in trade. If he holds on to those fleeces For another twelve months McKinley's Pill will have been fully tested, apd he’ll Pe compelled to let the sheep go with the wool to get rid of it at any price.—Lebinon Pioneer. -. ; There is an article going aronnd in the newspapers about the increase of the exportation of American flour to the island of Cuba; that it has become very much larger than heretofore, and whore Spanish flour was imported there American flour has taken its place. Most certainly jt has, and what follows then} Have (he mills ceased to grind in bid Spain! Has the wheat forgotten to grow there? Not at all. the Spanish flour which was forgteriy sent to Cuba goes to the French, the Italian, and other European markets, }rhere oar floor formerly wait, and supplants it, because transportation is so much shorter and so much cheaper. There is, then, a change in the direction pf the exportation of flour, hat there is no change due to this cause in the quantity exported, and there is not a change of one huqdreth of 1 per cent, in the value of aiiy of the commodities, named in the McKinley hill as being pat upon the free list as the basis for reciprocity. — Fran Senator Tbrpio’a speech on the Reciprocity Humbug.

The McKinley bill is from beginning to end an exclusively party scheme, deliberately, inflexibly and irresistibly foamed upon the country by a disciplined and terrorised congressional majority, at the behests of wealthy industrialists who, in consideration of this service rendered, pave contributed funds and influence for parrying the elections in the interest of fhe party now in ascendancy, oar more oorrectly, of certain party leaders. It stand npon thp statute books as the grossest and moat corrupt exercise of legislative powers ever perpetrated in the history of the country, and |* the signal monument of a point departure gt whpjJj wealth and corrupt politics joined hands ip alliance for defeating public opinion in the' government of the hation.—New York Commercial f£plfetin (nonpartisan). ^he United States department of ljk* bor has begun taking a census of tho building and associations of tile jjountry'.

Obituary. Ob the ISlb Inst', the relatives and friends of Joseph C. Eidge were summoued to his bedside #> ytew bis prostrated form rapidly relaving jiitto .death. lie had been growing weaker for ypon^ig and b*d been a much afflicted anffbrer for years. Of late years be had traveled much in the west and some in the eaat.for the purpose ol improving his bellth. file took his last trip into Ohio and has been sinking much more rapidly since ids return. The suffering which ho has endured can not be to\d. He has often said that bia language Tailed to give expression to his suffering. He was born in Marion county, Ky., May 28, 1818. Died at the residerise of hit brother, James W. Kidge, dply IS, 1862, aged 49 years, one month asjd 31'days. He bits lived with bis brother James W. Kidge, since the death ol his parepts about thirty years ago. At the age of years be was taken with fever which settled in ope /of bis lege caueing that limb to be dragyp pnd picking a cripple of him. Ho was completely helpless for several years and Buffered greatly all ttys remainder of hiB life. Notwithstanding hid affliction be was energetic and always carried sunshine with him wherever be went. In the year 1863 he professed religion and united with the General Baptist Church. He waa a faithful Christian until his death. The churh has lost an energetic and faithful menffly. His relatives have lost a friend and adviser. The poor and afflicted have loat an ever willing hand to adminiater to their wants. If the church needed assistance it called on Uncle Joe. if the Sunday school was in need of help Uocle Joe was ever ready. If a neighbor wished advice Uncle Joe was called. If assistance was ueeded he was ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand. But he has gone to the land of perpetual sunshine and happiness. We are left with no, one to cheer and comfort us ou our way. Though our loss is great, his gain is mufeh greater. Though we are left in sadness be has gone to that place of eternal bliss snd happiness. In his affliction and suffering he had used some morphine to quiet him and give him ease. But did not come to his death by baying taken too muob. as can be verified by the physicians that were summoned. The trip he took to Ohio was for the purpose of being doctored and treated by au institution near Lebanou. This institution was under the management of Dr. Stephens. After returning he was much weaker as has been stated. In a short time after his return he went to Dr. DeTar, of Winslow, and asked him if he could give him any medicine that would increase his strength* But firmly declined to take any mediciiur which contained opium in any form. He had been taking the doctor’s medicine for two weeks or more and seemed to have improved sons. Uu the night before he was taken be talked with his brothef_^~-\yr Ridge and seemed to be a^fJijTas usual, lie asked hie brother it i}g might have a horse to drive with hla tputwo on Moi d y. This waa the last be spW unU1 midnight when he called hip bretf*,. (my faUler) to get up and lowertoe. windows which were up. At that timewas no change. At daybres^jfly who always slept [2JJW“saine room, went to his bed and found him unedffscions. He remained un conscious until death. Paralysis was no doubt the cause of his death. S’
