The patent office has celebrated the issuance of a round half-million ot patents. Patent No. 500,000 has been issued and the office has started with a good, steady gait toward the 1,000,000 milestone marking the progress of invention. The man who received patent No. 500,000 is Edward S. Hyde, of Dubuque, Iowa. The Democrat sprung quite a surprise last week iu the McAtce^ase and was the only newspaper ™iblished in Petersburg that gave the true version of that important news jteni. -When it comes to giviug the people the news you can bet that *1'he Democrat is “the old reliable.” 'Now is the time ^subscribe and get the news. The announcement is made that }}ie iron masters around Pittsburg will all be compelled to reduce wages in order to compete—not with the product of foreign pauper labor, but with the labor which Andrew Carnegie has pauperized by blood and bullet and starvation. This is the man whom protection has made a multi-millionaire, and protection has ^>een maintained for his benefit by the votes of American workingmen. No wonder they voted last fall that protection must go.

Tiie city authorities are paying too much attention to the Raverty Hill instead of the streets that are generally traveled. About halt of the poll tax has been worked in cutting down a|nll that is traveled perhaps qnce a month. The streets of Petersburg are in a frightful looking condition and should have been scraped and leveled up several weeks ago. The street commissioner should look after the rest of the town a few days before the entire poll taxis worked out. There has been no legislation on finance or tariff by the democratic party since it came into power, yet ike republican leaders are trying hard, to hold it responsible for the turbulent condition of financial affairs now prevailing over the country. The people should remember that these disturbances are the outgrowth of partisan republican legislation enacted for the benefit ot the monopolistic class at the expense of the whole country. U.ntil the democratic party modifies some of the vicious enactment sof republican greed, we can iiot hope to see a settled condition in trade circles and genet^l prosperity throughout the country. Republican misrule is now bearing its legitimate fruits.

The premium lists for the Pike county fair are now ready for distri* bution, and can be bad by calling on J. W. Brumfield, secretary, or at this office. There is considerable change in the premiums from last year, and every exhibitor should have a copy. »»■., ~ ■

THE COMING TARIFF BILL, A very considerable number of statesmen are now engaged in drafting tariff bills which they hope to have adopted as administration measures. By far the best of these, as far as we aro familiar with them, is that drawn under the auspices of the New York Reforms Club. That bill is based squarely on the democratic platform of tariffjor revenue only, and the bill the ways and means committee reports must be equally as good if it is to be forced through cougress in the name of the democratic party, To be supported by the genuine tariff reformers of the democratic party, the tariff bill must uot take from the free list any article that is now untaxed; it must not impose taxes that will average over 30 ^>er cent; it must not provide any rate that is high enough to be restrictive whether the article on which it is levied is made in this country or not; it must reduce duties to a rate that will produce no surplus above the ordinary expeuses of the government, leaving pensions to be provided for by a special tax, and finally it must make taxation lightest on such necessaries of life such as clothing, leaving the heaviest duties to be levied oh articles of luxury. The administration will not present a tariff bill nor otherwise interfere with the work of congress. After making his recommendations in the constitutional way, the president will have no further responsibility in the premises until the bill is presented for his signature, and there is no warrant for the idea entertained by some that he wilt seek to dominate congress and force the adoption of a tariff bill drawn on the lines of incidental protection laid down in the resolution which Mr. Whitney caused to be inserted in the report of the platform committee at Chicago— which the convention very properly repudiated by substituting the declaration in favor of taxation for revenue only which now stands as the embodiment of the will of the democratic party. » When a special bill making a special levy for the payment of pensions Is decided on, the obstacle in the way of tariff reform will be removed. AVith such a bill it will be possible to reform the tariff, as it will not otherwise. Such a bill is necessary because there is no time for delay in the work. What is to be done must bo done at once, Nothing must be trusted to the succeeding congress, winch will probably be a congress in which the tariff reform issue will be completely obscured by the financial issue which has been so uuwisely forced.

The public statement show* a net decrease of $739,425.99 during the month of May. Ot this $657,105 50 was in the amount of the bonded indebtedness of the government and $82,250.49 was in the increase of the cash in the treasury. The interest bearing debt increased $300; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity decreased $37,490, and the debt bearing uo interest $619,695 50. The aggregate interest and non-interest bearing debt May 31 was $961,750,888.63, on April 30 it was $962,407,764.13. The certificates and treasury notes offset by an equal amount of casii in treasury outstanding at the end of the mouth was $594,531,017, an increase of $1,405,604. The fotal cash iu the treasury was $754,122,1S4.46, the gold reserve $95,049,640, and the net cash balances $26,516,514.30. _In the month there was a decrease of $5,764,749.32 in gold coin and bars, the total at the close being $196,518.609.76. Of the surplus there was in national bank depositories $11,649,142.54, against $11,270,696.69 at .the end ot the previous month.'

Isn’t the fact that there is such a scramble after public offices, proof in itself that they are more profitable than private business? If not, the only incentives for seeking public positions, would be a love of popularity, and a patriotic regard for country. And if it were a fact people honored the private citizen for his manliness and integrity, as they honor a man for his positio^ then no man would want, an office for public popularity. The fact that a love of popularity, and a desire for wealth, causes men to hungerrlie, scheme, betray friends, and prepare their souls for future regions of blackness, wailing and gnashiug of teeth, is proof in itself of unfortunate and utiprosperous financial and industrial conditions or public sentiment. The average man would be prosperous, were financial conditions right. The average man would be sufficiently popular, did we regard manhood more and office less.

The City Conncil. Tho city council met in regular session last Thursday evening at the office of J. W. W'lson, city attorney, and transacted such business as came before }t. There was considerable discussion on the question of sidewalks, but it came to naught as no action was taken on any of tiie impassible sidewalks of the city. The sewer and street committee had nothing to report. « The judiciary committee recommended that the following bills be allowed: Ftre department, drill work.$28 00 J«sse Bailies, work on street-.. .11 25 Thomas Fleming, work with team. 2 50 Bud Miller, work with team.. 1 00 Fletch Coonrod, work with tealm. 35 00 Marion .Jones work with team . 21 00 Marion Joues, work wi|h team. 11 25 Scott Mitchell, work with team. 5 65 Wm. McCord, work on streets . 1 25 A. It. Byers, sec. board of health. 40 00 Jesse Battles, salary as marshal . 40 00 Total...$194 90 Jesse Battles, city marshal, made his report of the taking up of three calves and selling the same. The sale of tho stock brought a little over $21. Mr. Battles received something over $7.00 for taking care of the stock and selling them. The next thing in order was The selection of a school trustee to serve for the coming two years. The names of John Hammond and Dr. W. 11. Link were placed before the connuilinen. Clerk Van Nada acted as referee in the race and took up the ballots and counted the same which resuited in Hammond securing three votes, and Link one, whereupon President Goodrid announced that Hammond was elected as school trustee. The council then adjourned to meet the first Thursday in July.

Conuty Superintendent Iilaize. The trustees of the various townships met in this city last Monday to elect a county superintendent of schools for the coming two years. The democratic trustees proceeded to caucus for a nominee and after taking 111 ballots, lasting six hours, nominated John B. Blaize, of Logan township. They then met in ■ the auditor’s office and after electing Trustee Brock chairman, and Trustees Smith and Harris as tellers, proceeded to the eletion of a superintendent. The election was simply by party vote—the democrats voting for Blaize, and Smith voting for J. D. Selby. Trustee Dedman not being present the vote stood Blaize, seven, and Selby, one. The board then adjourned. The superintendent-elect filed his bond at once and will take cliargo of the office tomorrow. John B. Blaize was horn in Logan township, July 24, 1851, and where he has since resided. He received his education in the common schools of the county, and began teaching in 1873. He is ono of the veterau teachers of l’ike county, and for seyen years taught the same school in his township. He is one of the sound and hard-working democrats of the county. The fight for the nomination was a long one but everything was on the square and the result accepted in good feeling by all the candidates.

Many men think that newspaper men are persistent (lunners. By wav of comparion let us suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a year, and. sells this to 1,000 persons in all parts of the country, a great portion of them saying: “I will hand you a dollar in a short time.” The farmer does not want to be small, and says all right. Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone but he has nothing to show for it, and he then realizes that he has fooled away his whole crop and its value to him is due him in a thousand little driblets, consequently he is seriously embarassed iii his business, because his debtors, each owing him' one dollar, treat it as a small matter and think it would not help much. Continue this kind of bnsiuess year in and year out as the publisher does, how long would he stand it? A moment’s thought will convince anyone that a publisher has causfe for persistent dunning. Kev. Irl Hicks, the weather prophet, predicts the following for this mouth: About the 10th it will begin to grow excessively warm, which will increase during the 11th and 12th, or until general storms of rain, thunder and wind result. A series of storms each afternoon and evening for several days will likely occur at this tune, running into the secondary disturbances about 17th and 18th. The 20th to 25th, is a regular storm period right at the crisis of June solstice. Heavy rains and violent electrical and atmospheric petnrbations Will be natural. Bright, pleasant days and nights will tollow up to the 28th. The month ends warm and stormy. Shiloh’s Cure, the great cough and croup cure is for sale by ail druggists.
