Pike County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 29, Petersburg, Pike County, 9 December 1892 — Page 2

THE PIKE COUNTY DEMOCRAT B» m. McC. STOOPS. FUIDA.Y, DEC. 9,189f | -4J ‘™- IsniASA has ai least seven men ■who are hankering after a cabinet portfolio, and i#i alj likelihood those seven gre doomed. Governor Gray, .without a doubt, will lie a member ’ pf Cleveland’s cahinct. He is a strong jpan autj an energetic worker. Ex-Unitej» States Senator Sabin,a Republican, says that “me republican . party needs to modify Its position 6n ^ the tariff,and he thinks that “the McKinley bill was a little too strong.” They bcgiu to confess that they know what was the matter with iho^party. Senator Vooriieks says that the people are entitled to have without unnecessary delay the relief which * they have twice demanded, and that early popeideyation of Jariff reyison is the only sateganrd against hasty action in doing the work ancf datigeyous delay in giving it effect. It is an old saying (hat “lightning never strikes twice in the same place.” That may be true, but in Groyer Cleveland’s case it was different. Jtqt in the case of some postmasters who surged under .Cleveland during ■ter administration will not It again. Of course this rerorthern Indian^ not Southang. We are not acquainted [n Southern Indiana to know or not there are any postwho wish to be “vindicated” scond whack. Of course iu the northern pari of the state there gin several postmasters who are looking fopsomething better, and we ; hope they may get it.

Tup J)p>!OQRAT was the onlyoriginal Cleveland paper in Southern Indiana, Tins paper stood first, last and all the time for Glorious Grover under its present nianagenfent. 4- bold stand was taken when such papers as the /Jasper Courier and dozens of others that we might mention had n/ade a fight against his re-nomina-r-tion. Wo are mudost in our claims and don’t want all the credit lor his nomination and election, but are willing Jo share the honor with our democratic brethren of the press for their Jiearty co-operation in the past campaign. They want recognition and if jvc put in a qnit claim for the honor fheir chances would be forever lost. The first thing tor the democrats in congress to do in abating the pension scandal is to turn the bureau over to tile war department. Mr. Cleveland il should theu appoint to the head of Iff that bureau some regular army offi- ■ pfer, wto has no political ends *° subserve and who can be depended upon to apply the roost rigid and crucial tests that army surgeons can devise to'all applicants for pensions. As epoon as the pension bureau is in op: eiation under these now auspices, every pensioner now on the rolls should be re-examined in apqordanco ^ith the same rigid tests, and all who cannot staud the tests should bt, removed from the rolls and set toearu their own living. There can be little doubt that under such a regime pension expenditures would be reduced within a year at least $50,000,000 or "$60,000,000, and that too without imparing the rights of a single deserving veteran. Qnly in this way can the “Roll of Honor” be saved from becoming a roll of 6hamo.

■1 Wp aro aor. y to see our friend, lion. A. A. Sparks, tlie able editor of the Mt. Vernon Democrat fly into a rage over a little editorial that appeared in this paper last week in regard to “place-hunters” under the incoming admiulatration. We always recognize the fact that newspaper pton sometimes are not a? well treated as they should bo and sometimes they get more than they deserve. During our newspaper career wo have pever asked for anything cr received any thing at the hands of our deraocratjc friends, except that which come through the natural business channels. We are asking nothing now, but for. the benefit of Bro Sparks and others wo will say that the honor, if honor there is, of having p. ra. of Petetersburg added to our name for the next four years, was offered us by our newly made friends but was declined. Our friends in Rand around Petersburg are legion, Hd who were anxious that wo should accept the postoffice at this place, but under the circumstances we were foTced to decline the oflir. Qur services during the past campaign were recognized, although our county went republican as it lias on previous occa sions. We are uot an office-seeker 01 an oflbe-buuier. Qh, well, tve hav< onfr been in lh« great first district |fx moiithSrbut a ilooaicr all onr life, and YOtpdjor, a successful ilemocrath iidentupSS>ty<) occasions. Thait being/ Glorious (Jrover. the right time will do th< think P. M. aftet is' name is tpo small, farmer plums when you a chance." Mr. Sparks dpne val rviee in the late campaign and be recognized with somethin* lee. For instance.

At Their Old Tricks. The republican politicians lisve not abandoned Jthpir rascally habit of reversing the resalt of elections. They are trying to steal two or three senators in the Western states. A dispatch from Cheyenne in the Tribune revealed the scheme aud the method in Wyoming, as follows: It now looks as . though the republicans would control the Wyoming legislature and return Francis E. Wsrrrn ‘to the Untied States senate by a mamlamus order from the courts. A cerlllicate of election was Issued to a republican candidate for the house of representatives, although the democrats claimed that more votes had been cast toribis opponent. In another coutify the republicans will lu all probability throw out o: precinct on ivrcyuUirily und thus strengthen their power lit I he legislat ure. The republicans have a majority Iti the senate, and by gaining t he hhuse they will be able to settle all contests in short 0filer. There is no pretense here that the republicans haye carried tho legislature of Wyoming. They are simply plotting to “control” it af.er the democrats and the populists have carried it. The process is familiar. Republican election officers are induced to issue certificates to candidates of their party who received a minority of the votes. Other precincts are “thrown out oil irregularity,” as was doue in Montana at its first state election. If necessary the aid of partisan courts is invoked. With a hare majority of the legislature thus secured, trnmpodup contests are “settled in short order,”’always in favor of the republican claimants as the Tribune despatch naively foretells the scheme in Wyoming to be, aud tho thel't is complete. Plots similar to this are under way in Montana, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, California, and probably in other states where tho republicans were defeated. The control of the senate may depend upon the vigilauce and courage with which ^Jje honest results of the election *are guarded.

Unsafe Insurance Companies. Auditor of state J. 0- Henderson is prosecuting his war on “wildcat" in, surance with relentless vigor. He makes life a bhl'den for these bloodsuckers who live on the credulity of the uninformed and as a result they have nearly all gone to other fields. Among some of the latest qullings are the Lumberman’s fire insurance company, Beakeley Springs, W. Va.; Mercantile fire insurance company, Charleston, 8. O.; Davenport Mutual fire insurance companv, Davenport, la.; protection fire insurance company, Charleston, \y. Va,; Firemans’ and Mechanics' fire insurance company, Alexandria, Va.; Crescent fire insurance company, Cleveland, O.; Uuder writers’fire Insurance company, Sioux City, la.; National fire insurance company. Sioux City, la.; National fire insurance company. Council Bluffs, la.; Home fire insurance company, Hinton, W. Va,; Empire fire insurance company, Huntington, W.

“Uncle Si” After Resting Up Writes Another Letter. ' Touches the Leading Topics After titie November Election. Not Hoed Comfort in tlie Returns from Other States. The County Issues Come Up Far • Few Wsfdi. ' Logan Townsnif Dec. 5, 1892. Editor PUie liounty Dtmmikrat: A guile meny of mi old fronds and nabors her bin asking me why I am not riling tpore artiklejB tor your paper. The fact is jist this and no more; thet I hev bin kept pretty busy figuring on ho.w tlie great landslide

kome about anil jr |j- Mr. Harrison was a . kandydale at tl»et f eleckshun. llow to kalkerlate on his k vote for the future of mi party I am shure thet we are not in it. I lied a talk with Hon. Lewis Loveless a short time ago. Bro Lewts lies bin a republican for sever

al years and once npou a time wui a kandydate for congress; but didn’t git thar for lack of votes, but he made a mighty peart race. Well, we talked the sitnwation over for several hours in a very candid and honest sort of way and we came mighty near reaching the konkluslon thet the g. o. p. was in the last throes of death. Of konrse we rattled you demokrats in Pike kounty and give Harrison and Chase very good voles, and lected the hole kounty ticket, but ytfu sec, ini dere readers, we jist set up a small job on you. We put some of our end solid Yluldoon republicans at work among some of your dimmikrat farmers and got them to vole the people's ticket. Thet’s a scheme thet we hev a patent on. You dimmikrats now see how it worked. Of kourse none of I lie repnblikan winkers voted the people’s ticket, kause it wusent in the play. But how thodimmikrats voted tho ticket. Of kourse I didn't vote the strate repnblikan county ticket, en I wnrked hard gainst some of them, and hi ole Logan we dun em up, but sum how or tother in some other townships she went glimmering. We republickans don’t kare much for a third party only when it will benefit us, and this wus one of the times when it came to the front and aided us in lceting the whole ticket. Nothing but dimmikrats voted the third party ticket, cepting once in awhile you might run cross a repnblickan who claims to licv voted the ticket. We tuk a big hand, that is the republickan leaders did in nominating thet ticket with the express purpose ot gitting the dimmikrats to vote it. The ticket was made up largely from your party, and they were purty gud men too. But to be kandid bout the matter we will not be able to do thet thing again in two teres. We are going to be dun up and dun up hard. We liev made sum mistakes already, and ef J sliud rite another artikle I will pint some of them out.

Alnt our pistol-officers atraiue ot their jobs£ Here in our township we hev two. They don’t pav very much, but the preseut poslage-stauip-lickers want to hole on and asked me to help em out by riting to the new president. Tliay hev got out their petisliuns, some of the bovs say, and think sthcy will git the offices agin, *but hardly, for I bleve to the victors belongs jist whatever they kan git. I whs in Petersburg tother day and I lied a talk with Mr. Adams, the pis

tol-raastcr, about his offis. lie set! he lied over a yere yet and wud serve opt lijs tiijie. But sum of mi fiends sed he woud move out bout the middle of Aprile and take his ole furniture with him. No second-hand stuff goes. A ciene swepc means something new. Now thet isn’t jest write, you see Mr. Adams has made and efficient officer and hustled the mails around at a Nancv Hanks gate. You kan hardly see him put the letters in the bo$es set dextrous lies he become, and they fiy with lightning like rapidity to their respeective places. I watched him do it wun day. Well to konklude, I want to say that Hr. Bothell, our representative, will sune hev the opportunity which he has been aching for. How lie will pound the air down at the legislature this winter. His melodeous voice will ring way up in the dome of the stato building with the one theme of his life, and the uuscpapeys will be filled with grate speeches of t^e representative from Tike county. Hoc has promised to send m® U'® papers regularly containing extracts of his bills and speeches. Hoc will uot be the speaker of thp. house this time, but will rank up high pn the republicrn side of the house. Jest kepe yopr eyes and ears open. Sum more sum other time when mi epistles git ripsr.

Clnb Room up More. BUI JUenidge «iul a few oQicr young m«n opened up a “club” room in the building formerly occupied by C. Baum as a harness shop and which is owned by him. The boys had it nicely arranged, well lighted and heated, had a few tables a.ud several chairs. They found innocent amusement in playing cards and other games, as well as talk over the current events of the day. They had adopted a set of rules and regulations and winch were displayed on the sidewalls. It is said that everything was kept quiet and orderly and was open to the inspection of passers-by at all times—there being no curtaius to hide any of the inside workings. On one wall was the motto • NO SWEARING ALLOWED, j while on the opposite wall a motto something after this was to be seen • NO GAMBLING ALLOWED ' IN THIS ROOM. Everything went along swimmingly tor several days until last Saturday morning when Mr. Baum received the following letter which had been mailed the day before in this city. The ietter is given verbatum et liteijatum; { December 2,92 Mr.Raum Dr sir I seat My self to drop you aft ew words about that Club room as it is a bad Barren as'tliey keep Wiminen in it. and 1 now want ns a friend to say fpr friend sake if you want to keep yonr house that the Club is in if way hajut out the house will Be Burnt to the Grounii and we will Give you 4 days _ By order of Good People ^ Mr. Baum was considerably surprised at receiving such an inflammatory letter and at once notified the boys that they would have to vacate the property, which they have done. Not a word had been said to Mr. Baum about the boys previous to his receiving the letter and had it been mentioned to him before he should have looked after the matter sooner. Just what kind of a club the boys run we are not able to eay,«but some of the boys claim that there was nothing done there that would demoralize any person.

Recovers His Speech. Alphonce Hemphling, ol Summitt township, Butler county, Pennsylvania, made an affidavit that his tvrelve-yenr-old son, who had St. Vitus dance for twelve years, lost his speech, was completely cured after using three bottles of Dr, Miles’ Restore tive Nervine, and also recovered his speech. Thousands testify to wonderful cures from using it for nervous diseases, dyspepsia, nervous debility, dullness, confusion of mind, headache, etc. Four doses of this Nervine cured Mrs. W. K.

PETERSBURG, 1ND„ AUG. 12, 1802. We the undersigned farmers of Pike county have always been predjudiced against live fencing of any kind. There has been much said in regard to the hedge fences being introduced by the Pike County Hedge Fence Co. We decided to go and see for ourselves this much talked of feiice. And we wish now for the benefit of our farmers and ot the company who is intruducing this fence to say that we saw the fence trimmed and un. trimmed and saw the men trimming it and we have no hesitancy in saying we are satis tied one man can easily trim one mile in a day, and do the work well; and that wlieijtj js trimmed it far excels any of our common lences; that everything that hus.been said in its favor is positively true, being the best and handsomest fences we ever saw In every respect. Though we were bitterly opposed to hedging before |we examined this fence we are now strong in its favor and we have bought it for our farms, and are ready to be. lleve and back anything Mr. McElderry may say in its favor, and we feel that every farmer ought to promote the enterprise as it is to the interest of every farmer. We had i> pleasant trip and saw many different lines of lencing and feel justified in rccommeuding this fence to our farmers, and that they need have no hesitancy in taking hold of this fence and placing it on their farms as an Improvement and ornament to their tarras as well as an excellent fence. We also reel justified in recommending the company's agent, Mr. W. E. McKklerrv, as being perfectly reliable as well as the excellent company he represents and none'that the farmers will read this carelully and not pass it over as idle talk as we mean what we say. We are respectfully D. B. Pavtds n, J. H.Akmsrong, L. C. Thomas, G. Cross. H. W. Fulcher, 1. R, Lett, C Thomas.
