The Tariff and the Pensioner. An old soldier from South Bend, in explaining his reason for leaving the republican party to vote for Cleveland and Stevenson, said: “I am geting $12 a month pension money. I know I will get this pension no matter who is elected president, but I want to see the tirile come when my $12 will go further in buying food and clothing than under the present system of high tariff. They may tell me that the tariff is not a tax, but I know that with my pension«.money I can buy more sugar, now that the tariff has been taken off, than before. “But we old soldiers need something else besides cheap sugar. As we grow old we require woolen clothing to keep ns warm. ■ Such an \ exhorbilant tax has been placed on woolen clothing by the McKinley bill for the benefit of the manufacturers that we wear “shoddy.” With free wool the price of clothing would go down as the price of sugar went down when it was placed on the free list, rue same money that now buy* ••shoddy” would then purchase all wool JGthing. Free wool would in reality have, the same effect upon the soldier who draws $12 per month now, as an increase of his pension to $15. I have talked this matter over to a number of old comrades aud they agree with me that tlm high protective tariff is injurious to the pensioners.”

Editor Hanoi adds insuit to insult * to the democratic ex-soldiers of Pike , county hv liis dirty contemptible flings" He says that any soldier who i votes the democratic ticket should be bored for the simples. Pike county vet | contains a few old veteran democrats , who marched to the front and helped t tin put down the rebellion. They are j democrats jet. Some of them left J a limb on the battlefield while others were wounded, and stiU-thev are democrats. A great many republicans went from Pike county to do ( honor for their country. Some .of , them were wounded and left limb9 on the battlefields. They are loyal : republicans. There are men on the J pension rolls of the county who are democrats, who are republicans and who are prohibitionists. To say that democratic soldiers should apply to the southern confederacy tor a pouelon Is simply an insult to every sol- i dier in Pike county. Be loyal to the men who preserved the country that 1 you now enjoy. If you can not un- ] derstand why $ Union soldier votes the democratic ticket ask some of , them. Probably they can tell von, and If you can tell why you vote the re- ] publican ticket spit it out. You howl, but you makortbe people very tired. The affdrs at Homestoad has not materially chauged since last week. The workmen are still locked out and scab labor being hired. How comforting it is to the republican organs to know that they are defending the scabs with the militia of the stale of Pensylvanla, while honest labor is stood otf at the end of the bayonet. Great is the so-called protection to laboring men. The strike has cost the peopje over (1,500,0U0 up to date, Blood-fonndr and confederate flags belong to the Democratic party.—Neve.

casta that it is without any But Petersburg bobs up serenely with oue of those peculiar eases w hich is as true as gospel itself. It is a long story, but cau be told in a short way. home years ago there were among the youug people »f a neighboring town a youug man and a young lady; they courted aud tell hi love with each other; the youug mail pressed his suit (not slothes) and was accepted; they were married aud lived happily for Several years; to this couple were horn three children, two of whom are living. Ail estrangement came between them aud they separated. I'he husband secured a divorce from Ilia wife and removed to this city and engaged in business. lie supported i lie children and his former wife, and Snally she came to this city and helped him in his business. It wa9 lot generally known that they were livorced, but that cuts uo figure iu ihe case now. Everything went along smoothly as though nothing had oc:urred. The man in the case became lired of living alone and wanted an>ther helpmate, and in time married i young lady of a neighboring county >n the Ohio river, fie brought her io his home,when wife No. 1 prepared i banquet for wife No. 2, and the svent was properly celebrated. They have lived under the same roof for sometime without a jar or a word, and as quiet as though nothing tad ever happened. Very few people in Petersburg are aware of the act that such a thing has ever hap>encd in this locality, but sueh are he faots as related to us by one who cnows them to bo true. Many times n years gone by have tho reading tublic seen such things in print but were loth to believe them. This little occurrence may set some o thinking who the people are, but t is not This Democrat’s desire to ell who they are, or whether they ire yej. living in Petersburg, it is for he public to guess at, and if they enow of their occurrence all well and inongh, but the story is a true rom beginning to end. oue She Commuted Suicide. Mrs. F. O. Cone, at Purls left this letter: 'My husband*--forgive me if I cause you rou' it*, but 1 suffer so. You do not know vhat these long, wakeful, wretched nights ire to me, and 1 am so tired, darling—the >ain will never he better. It Is not easy to akemy own Ufe, but I have been sick so ong.

is not of any great i* not causing any great excitement among the republicans oi this city where a number of the candidates reside., It eeema to be the opinion ot some who think they know that the slate is already made up, and that the convention wilt simply take on the form of nominating a ticket in the regular order. Things in general were worked to a queen’s taste last Saturday in order to knock out some of the candidates for recorder, and it is now conceded by the knotving ones that the job was completed to the saiisfaction of the ring politicians. There will be a small fight for representative, but that uomiuation was cut and dried several months ago. No fight is being made for treasurer although there are candidates for the place. For sheriff there are two candidates, who are simply out to make a show and fill up the ticket at Ihe convention. The candidates are good citizens and the best men in the party ranks so the saying goes, but after the convention people in general frill know more about them. The following are the candidates: RKFRB8ENTAT1TB. James Coats, Clay township. Lewis Loveless, Logan township. j&». W. J. Bethel, Patoka township. Dr.Uodwln, Jefferson township. TREASURER Sylvester Beach, Lockhart township. Commodore Honchtns, Patoka township. RECORDER George D Martin, Washington township William Selby, Washington township. Chris Lemastors. Washington township. John L. Sumner, Madison township. Reuben Burt, Patoka township. SHERIFF. Jasper N. Klnman, Patoka township. Hesekiah Cox Logan township. COUNTY ASSESSOR. Abraham Corn, Lockhart township. COMMISSIONER FIRST DISTRICT DeLos Had lock. Jefferson township. COMMISSIONER THIRD DISTRICT. Flave Hargrave, Lockhart township. William Kays, Lockhart township. William Chandler, Lockhart township. Jacob Tyring. SURVEYOR. D. W. Horton, Washington township. CORONER. Joseph Klnman, Washington township. It will boseen from the above that Washington and Patoka townships have the majority of the candidates for office; they being the strongholds of the republicans in thecounty, and they will hog the persimmon when it comes to a show down. There is fun ahead tor the leaders of the party to get the defeated__and their fricuda into line, as they will r.ot stand a defeat before convention day arrives. That is just how it stands at. the present time. The leading republicans of Petersburg place the ticket in the following order as it will bo nominated at the convention, and say that the turn will be called.: . ' m Representative—James A. Coats. Recorder—George D. Martin. Treasurer— Sylvester Beach. Sheriff— JasDer N. Klnman. Cconty Assessor—Abraham Corn. Surveyor—D. W. Horton. Coroner—Joseph Klnman. Commissioner First district—Delos Hadloek. Commissioner, Third district-Jacob Tyrtng.
