Town Debt, 115,000. i ■■ i i ’ The town trustees will reduce the rate of taxation at the proper time. The town trustees have demonstrated the fact that they are in favor of lower salaries. Certainly. . Town orders will soon bear the following inscription on the back: ’“Not paid for want ot funds.” Trouble is brewing in Petersburg. Look out for breakers in a \ ear or so. Things can’t always go on thusly. Town orders are not at the present time selling at a premium, but will ‘draw a premium of six percent for want of funds. The majority of the congressmen are in favor of the free coinage of silver. It will be an easy matter to repeal the Sherman law in the house "of representatives. Why was it that the members of the council when placing the electric lights did not place one at each of the places of worship instead of at their own homes? Echo answers “Why ?”_ The talk about Senator Quay resigning has come to naught. Whoever heard of a republican resigning ? Take the postmasters for instance, they have no idea ef resigning until their heads are chopped off. New York wauted to force an issue of gold bonds a few days ago for the safe investment of her idle ’capital. Today she’s ready to beg, borrow or steal capital and money’s as scarce as honest men. Cordage trust did it. There are democrats lu the district whose protestations of loyalty to the party remind ns that When the Devil, was sick The Devil a saint would be, and that he recovered simultaneously from his attacks of malaria and laudable ambition. No one need feel in the least alarmed about the ability of the democratic party to maintain the public credit. As long as there are so many millionaires who will be patriotic Enough to pay an income tax when requested to do so by the federal collector there is not the least occasion for alarm.

On* of the first hills ever cut down by the board of trustees was that of ihe editor of The Democrat. There way be some excuse for it, as this paper has from time to time had a few words to say about the extravagant uses to which The People’s money.has been placed. To wind up the business of the year it was necessary to show that they were curtailing expenses. Having discovered that the rest of the country pays no attention to a “panic” among its gamblers, and that Secretary Carlisle cannot be stampeded by a speculative “squeeze.” Wall street may be expected to pull itself together this week and indulge in some wholesome meditatioji upon the fact that its control of the finances and trade of the country are irrecoverably lost. Secretary Carlisle has just found a chronic office holder. Stulevant has been in the treasury department for thirty-five years, and in > all that time has never offered to show his citizenship by voting at an election. If there is any more of that class in Washington, fire them them immediately, t Indiana has 10.QQ0 men who will take positions and promise to come home and vote at every election, besides paying their 6wn expenses. JrDGE William E. Niblack, one of the foremost men of Indiana, died at his home in Indianapolis, Sunday, He had been ill for seyeral months. He was seventy-one years old. Mr. Jfiblack was a staunch democrat and held many positions of trust which his party had honored him with. He was born on a farm in the western and first settled part of Dnbois county. During bis life time he bad been elected to congress, to the legislature and as one of the supreme court judges of the state of Indiana. He was well$nown by the citizens of Pike county, ha*--.- . -v* •

g=^=r=S=rl- S ifA'T/MYMGJNT JfJMSB’ifES. Pav-day must come toevery spendthrift, even to such a national spendthrift as the United States. The following figures sent out from Washington the first of the month are well worth a second consideration by the taxpayers of this country. < , The net increase in the debt last month was 13,727,369. Government receipts last month in round numbers amounted to $28,500,C00, or three quarters of a million more than in April, 1892. Customs receipts were $15,418,637, and internal revenue receipts $11,799,367. Expenditures during the mouth aggregated $33,771,365, or two and a hall millions more than in April, 1891. For the ten months of the current fiscal year, or Up to May 1, receipts from till sources aggregated $324,589,393, or $20,000,000 more than during the corresponding months of the preceding fiscal year. On the other hand expenditures during the last ten months were $332,337,552, or $32,500,000 more than during the corresponding months of the preceding fiscalyear. Twenty^four million dollars of this increase aloue is due to larger pension payments this fiscal year, and which for the last ten months aggregate $133,678,345. Taxes’, a re enormous, but the drafts on the treasury are unprecedented. An increase in pensions alone for.ten months amounts to $24,000,000. No wonder the people deipand an investigation of the pension list. But other departments, too, have enlarged tbeir annual requirements. There is room for economy everywhere, and a reason iu the call of the people for a return to the old and earlier principles of government. The Democrat is surprised at the course pursued by some of the democratic papers of the First congressional district. During the last campaign it was not a matter of spoils that was contested for, but a fight between two great political parties for principles. The democratic party won on a tariff reform platform and a sound money basis. The republican party went down iu deteat with its burden of monopolis and trusts. Why then this great hue and erv tor spoils^ spoils? Two or three of the democratic editors made a fight for postoffice honors in their papers from the time the polls closed on November 4th until appointments were made, and then se*t up a loud yell againsi the administration' and represenatives in congress. When, in fact, some of them had been living off ol the spoils ot office for many years We don’t want to be understood as saving the democratic press is honored or paid for the work accomplished in campaigns, for it is not, and never has been. But democratic editors who have nothing at stake-bui spoils of office should step down anti off the editorial tripod. The press oi the state have wen and lost the bat ties of ballots at the election for years At the last election the press of Indi ana done noble work in educating tht people upon the questions at issue and in no district in Indiana wai more accomplished than in the Firs by the pr3s>s. But at tlris time to se up a howl for the simple reason tha there are not euough offices to g< around is absurb.

ent time and four years ago in gov eminent affairs. Four years ag< Cleveland turned affairs over to Har risou aud more than $100,000,000 sur plus and the credit of the country above par. But hour is it now? liar' rison left a depleted treasury ant things in such condition that it wil take a goodly portion of this admin istration to get things in workinf order. Mk. Cleveland is not the only man who possesses splendid courage In Union, South Carolina, dwells thi bravest of the brave. His tiami is Clifford Wallace, and he shows hi: ; courage by offering to be sent to thi Congo Free State as consul. None o the twelve gentlemen who will bi his predecessors if he gets the offic< returned to this country alive. To bead the complaints about thi failure of the present administration not yet two months in office, to breat up the trusts, a foreignerynight sup pose that' the last administratioi wiped out a trust or two every moru ing before breakfast. By the way can anybody name a singly trust tba was forced out of business by thi Harrison administration? Shicbetart Carlisle has decider to appoint a committee of three prom, inemt men familiar with the iutrica cies of the tariff law and euston house methods, to make a thorougL and complete investigation of tht custom house, appraiser’s stores and naval office at the port of New York

The gold reserve in the treasury is now pretty close to $100,000,000. Small offers continue t o be made to the secretary, aud there is a feeling of confidence as to the outlook of the immediate future. \ Attorxey-General Olney and Secretary Carlisle have received many telegrams during the past few days from religious organisations and ministers asking them to prevent the opening of the world's fair on Sundays. James S- Clarkson has absolutely refused to.again'accept the chairmanship ol the national republican committee. lie is not after losing honors, after having once piloted the party to victory. Gentle Jeems is looking after something softer than, deadhead politics. Democrats for spoils only shonld take a sneak. The democratic party has no use fbr such people. Meu who have a principle never sell it for the sake ot getting an office or kick if they are “not in it.” We believe party workers should be honored, provided always, that they are capable of filling the position to which they aspire. Continued office-hold-ing is out of the question. Some state officials wilt realize that fact. The republicans generally know how to take care of their friends when they obtain power. When Clarkson had charge of the guillotine iu the postoffice department under Harrison, he dropped off 5,000 democratic heads in 60 days and when criticised by the,democratic press for his slaughter house methods he answered with the reply that the people had voted the democrats out of office and that he was only executing their will as expressed at the polls, and that wherever he could see a democratic head iu the postofiice department he intended to drop it off. Things have changed since Clarkson’s day. While Mr. Maxwell has done fairly well, yet he is away below the Clarkson record of 1889 and the Stevenson reecord of 1885. Now that the season of business activity is here, it will pay all who need advertising to send their favors to The Democrat, the official paper of the democratic party of Pike crtuntv. This paper is not only read by democrat,s many of whom take no other, but it is also read b\ a goodly number ot republicans, people's party and prohibitionists in this section, who like to ,hear both sides discussed, and those people are all compelled to purchase the necessaries of life such as the merchant has for sale on hts counters. Now it frequently happens that before the consumer goes to purchase ao article, he looks over his county paper, notes the bargains therein offered by the merchant, and straightway hunts up the establishment and a sale is^ effected. Now, the merchant don’t care a pint ot beans whether his customer is a democrat or republican, pt ohibitionist or whatnot. It’s all the same )o luin He wants! t«> sell his goods in exchange fdr the purchaser’s dollars. This being true, 1 he merchant cannot reach the people through the medium of one paper. Besi es, it is not policy to patronize only the $aper of your choice. Customers on the other side, politically, notice it as we lately heard remarked, which gave rise to this article. We believe the past in Petersburg has shown that it don’t pay to mix politics and-busi-ness to any great extent. The Democrat will bring auy live merchant good resn^s, let his politics be what they may.

While Mr. T. J. Richey, of Altona, Mis- ; souri, was taken violently ill with cholera morbus.
