The editors of the Press, by their next best friend, trv to get back at The Democrat because the town trustees cut its bill trom $6.00 to $4.00 for publishing the election notice. The election notice was published at the request of the city clerk, E. J. Lingo. Mr. Lingo directed that it be published three weeks. The same was published and charged- The notice made three squares, and for the first insertion tire law would allow $3.00, • and $1.50 for each subsequent insertion, making for the three insertions * $6.00. The Press claims that it charged what the law allowed.1 If the notice made three squares in The Democrat it could not possibly have made four in the Press, But that cuts no figure. The Press is the champion of the board of town trustees aud must make some showing for-the money it gets out of the town. The Press has not the best iuterest of the town at heart when it will sit idly by and see extravagant measures passed by the council without raising its yoice agaiust it. It does not say that the town today has a mouument of debt erected during the past three or four years. It has not the oourage to say that during the past year the town was run head over heels In debt. * The Press has not the courage to stand up for the people’s best interests. The Press dare not deny the fact that the town is something over $15,000 In debt. The Press will not discuss the facts and show where the money has gone during the past year. Again, the Press wiil not deny the fact that the salaries paid out during the past year amounted to iu the neighborlipod of $1,800, and to pay this and other incidental expenses the sum of about $2,100 is raised by taxation to meet it. $1,800 from $2,100 would leave $300. With this $300 the town would be unable to meet the current expenses or the ouetenth thereof. Several mouths ago thp town board floated $2,000 of ‘town orders with which to pay expenses and floating orders. With all this money the town was behind on the 4th day of May,'1893, over $725 on orders allowed. With $2,000 borrowed and $2,100 collected as taxes the town debt was not decreased a cent, Imf ou the contrary was increased in the neighborhood of $2,700. Do the editors of the Press sanction, this? Certainly. They dare not say a word for fear of losing a few dollars in city printing. The Democrat is in favor of the people, and believes that all street grading should be let to the lowest responsible bidder. The Press is Dot in favor of it. The Democrat is in favor of a reform in the geueral order of bqsiuess.

The Press hasn't the sand In its craw to say that it is or is not. The Press will not say for the benefit of its readers that the tojvn debt of Petersburg is increasing year by year, and that it is liable to take another jump of two or three thousand this year. If lacks sand. The citizens of Petersburg are held to pay this debt, aud the members of the board of trustees should move slowly in the matter of increasing it. People generally are not over-auxious to pay out all they make in taxes, when they do not get value received. Chapter III at some other time. CONDEMNING THEIR OWN WORKS. Some o£,our republican contemporaries are grievously disturbed by recent occurrences in financial circles aud are declaring that the troubles are due to ' democratic interference with the tariff and blundering with the finances. Thai distinguished dinner-table orator, Mr. Chauneev Depew, declaVcs. that Mr. Cleveland has gathered abou t him a cabinet the members of which know as little about finances as they do about Hebrew scriptures. It is uot a piatter of record that Mr. Depew is a judge either of financial matters or of scriptures of auy kind. He knows a good joke well enough when he sees fit to appropriate it, but he has given no evidence that he has gained the least financial wisdom even by absorption. On one occasion at least Mr. Carlisle demonstrated liis superiority in financial foresight to tiic aggregated wisdom of the national banks. In 1881 Mr. Carlisle offered an ainendmebt to the refunding act which provided that only three per cent bonds should be received as security for circulation. The national.banks protested ; they denounced the amendment as a bulldozing measure, aud as one form of repudiation. Nevertheless it was adopted, aud the national banks threatened a contraction of the circulation and forced Mr, Hayes and Mr. Sherman to oppose the Carlisle amendment. It was vetoed and beaten. But time has vindicated Mr. CarTlie bonds the banks rejected lisle. have become the corner stone of credit ; the bonds they held have been redeemed and canceled. The circulation of the national banks, which October, 1892. only *143,000,000. Had the banks bought the bonds as required by Mr. Carlisle’s amendment, they would liave had twice ihe money in circulation that is out today, and the clamor for silver would liaye been less imperious. • Nothing in Mr. Depew’s career, not even his support of Horace Greely, reflects such credit on him as Mr. Carlisle’s amendment reflects on the secretary ol the treasury. But compare the cabinet of Mr. Cleveland with ttie cabinet of Mr. Harrison and ask the wise men of America whose opinion they would prefer on ^inaucial questions, that of a body headed by Mr. Carlisle or that of a body of which3Mr. Charles Foster was the shining light. Here in deadly parallel eolumus are the two

cabinets: Cleveland’s. Carlisle, Gresham, Harrison’s. Foster,. Foster, Bissell, Smith, Herbert, Olney, Morton, Lament. Wanamaker, Noble, Traqy, Miller, * Rusk, Elkins. But to Mr. Depew and all others who find it difficult to live under a government administered by democrats it is well to say that if any mischief comes from existing laws the laws were made, not by democrats, but by republicans. The laws were made in opposition to democratic protests and in a spirit directly contrary to the democratic spirit, principles and purposes. There stands the McKinley law, passed with the avowed purpose of iuterferiug with luternational eomuierce. Today the country realizes that what we need is not less but more commerce ; not more protection, but more freedom. Side by side with the McKinley law is the twin evil, the Sherman silver hill, provided for the forcible inflation of the currency with a depreciated dollar, everyone of which threatens to drive out of circulation ten other dollars. Certainly democrats can not be charged with party responsibility for these laws. A republican senate rejected every act meant to modify the iniquity of the McKinley bill, and a republican senate refused to repeal the Sherman bill. Mr. Cleveland has no authority to repeal either bill, bofh of which he condemned. They were fastened on the people by repub- \ lican leaders in congress; theylcan be! repealed only by congress. The im-! patience expressed by the republi-j

caus with their own laws is swifx condemnation of vicious legislation. A democratic congress will be called together in due time to rid the country of these two examples of republican statesmanship—the McKinley bill and the Sherman bill. It does jtot take one familiar with Hebrew scriptures to see that these measures are working mischief. We had the pleasure of meeting Hon A. H. Taylor, congressman iu the First district, last Saturday and we fiutl him sound on free silver, fiat money and democratic principles. Mr. Taylor believes that the voters voted one party out and the other in and he has been using his best endeavors to fill the various positions of which he as congressman has charge, with men competent in every respect, but, while doing so, someone must be disappointed and those who are disappointed seek consolation by venting their “spleen” on him being joined by the press of the enemy in their abuse of Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor has made a good record iu congress and as to . Lis appointments none are unworthy, but are firstclass business men and democrats. Let the good work go on and await the results.—Monroe City Star. Isaac IIiggixs, the new member of the council, does not exactly agree with the old members in regard to street work. Mr. lligg'ns is in favor af letting out street work to the lowest responsible bidder! The Democrat heartily coincides with the,new member in this regard, as will four fifths of the citizens. The cuts and fills on some of the streets have cost the citizens tabulous sums and should be remedied The Ml. Vernon Republican sat s it has always been the custom to appoint two republicans and one democrat on the pension boards, and vio versa. It will be news to the democratic papers it. the Republican will please slate in how many 'counties under the republican regime a democrat was on the pension hoards. Thk president is expecting to add another tin whistle, a rattle b]ox and wax doll to Baby Ruth’s outfit of amusing playthings, owiug to the fact that another heir is expected to take charge of their household. The papers say it is due sometime in July and of course the papers don’t lie about anything so important.

There is too much selfishness in this world; there sfre too many men who care only for self', no matter how much the interests of others are concerned. This spirit of selfishness is what keeps many a community down in the rut of old fogy ism when it fiiight just as well be blowing along on the highway of progress. For instance, here is a man, wealthy and independent; lie owns valuable building sites, yet because he sees iu a growth of a town—through the efforts of others—a prospective rise In the price of his property, he refuses to sell at a fair price "to some one who would improve the same and at the same time benefit the town, but instead, thinking only of self, he refuses to sell. This class of men aye a positive detriment to any town and the sooner they give place to live, public spirited men who consider the ■interests of others as well as themselves, the better for the community. There is one sign of rain that has never been known to fail. Spiders sometimes make their webs in exposed situations, where the falling rain may injure them, and when this is the case at every approach of bad weather the spider whose web is thus exposed will cut the ropes; let the web fall and then carefully roll it up and stow^it away iu as small a compass as possible, out of reach of falling drops. Whether the actiou is instinctive or the result of a reasoning process is hard to say, but the rain always comes after the spider lias made ready for it has often been noticed. The supreme court has recently decided that a township trustee has no right to employ a teacher when a majority of t^e patrons of the school decide against such employment. In rendering the decision the court held,: “The right to declare who shall teach childreu of a particular district is one which should reside in the parents and guardians of pupils, inasmuch as it is a salutary'check upon the almost autocratic powers of the school trustee.” The law is very severe as regards desecrating graves and persons visiting the cemetery cannot bo too careful as the plucking of flowers, injuring the sod or touching the stones with anything that would possibly leave a mark is a gross violation ot law, and any such violation should meet with a speedy punishment by ouy authorities.
