Adyertiser* will nuke a note ot this fact! Entered at the postoffice In Petersburg tor transmission through the mails as secoudfclass matter. FRIDAY, JUNE 23,1893.

There are at the present time three or four hundred subscribers to The Democrat who are in arrearages for the past year. We dislike to make public this fact, but nevertheless jt is time. It takes money to ruu a newspaper, and those who are owing for the past year will do us a great favor by sending in the amount necessary to liquidate the 6ame. The Democrat is ueeding the money to make .ootne contemplated changes in the offico optfit, and the cash will be welcomed at any time convenient to our friends. The United States court of appeals has decided that the Columbian exposition shall be open on Sundays hereafter, and under the full direction of the fair directory. If they should choose to close on Sundays they have the right to do so. Ixoalls is the name of the latest city booming up in the gas belt. Nothing was known of such a city in December, 18&2, but today she has ^ factories in operation and building that wi|l give employment to over 800 hquds.' The young city has a newspaper the Index, a copy ot which reached this office tlii^wcek. Ex-Governok Chase freshly illustrates the old maxim that a man had better stick to his own busiues. When he set up for a financier, he put himfeeif in a position not only to lose his own money, but, without it intending it, to be the cause of other people losing theii-s. He has proven himself a poor politician, a worse banker, and a f first-rate preacher. He would have done better to stick to his pulpit.

The editor ot the Mt. Vernon Democrat of last Friday pays the editor ot ihis paper a handsome compliment in placing him as a candidate for postoffice honors. Thanks. Do it some more. We are of that disposition that “taffy” takes hold at once and sticks. But seriously, Bro. SJparks, do you thiuk the Cleveland ruling of some months ago was just what it meant? If so, dowu we go after tycGinty. kp 4 By an act of the Canadian parliament the curfew bell is to be rung iach night throughout the dominion at 9 o’clock, after which persons tinder the age of II will be arrested and bompelled to pass the night in confinement ; this practice has been m fored for ft ntunber of years on the Pacific coast and has a wholesome effect Oh the hoodlum element of the boys and girls; the same regulation eoold be adopted with benefit right Sere in PetersburgEk

TO SEC URE A REPEA L. When congress repeals tlie Sherman act it will lie in response to a demand of the people and not to the wishes of eifher the gold bugs of the east or the silver miners of the mountain states. The democratic party does not intend to adjust anv part of our monetary system to sujt the selfish interests of a class. No element in congress sets tip a defense of the Sherman act. The repeal ought to come as a matter of course at the beginning of the session. There may be delay, however, because the differences of opinion upon the next step are not so easy to settle. If the gold-bug influence anioug eastern members is arrogant enough to oppose every proposition in the direction of free coinage the west and south will be cautious about sharing responsibility for a repeal which might be assumed to mean acquinsceucc in the English policy of absolute demonetization of silver. If the east desires only an honest and sufficient currency, it will find the west and south ready to unite in, the effort. The gold monemetalists are not the solo guardians of sound ideas: upon money questions. Free coinage is uot repudiation, nor is it depreciation. It is as respectable,jis scientific, as well indorsed and as deeply rooted as any doctrine in the literature of

money. Repeal of (ho bullion purchase law will bo hastened if the eastern members of congress recognize at once that the views of the west and south are iounded upon reason aud honesty are rtot likely to be quickly changed. At the Brussels conference the delegates agreed with practical unauimity that“it is desirable to find some means of increasing the use of silver in the momentary systems of increasing the nations.” The resolution was not voted upon, but the agreement was freely admitted. Among the pnblioistsof Europe the appreciation of gold is accepted as a commercial fact. Even in England the extent oi the appreciation is regarded with anxiety. The western and southern congressmen are determined that gold monemetalism shall not proceed further with their consent. It is not the sil-ver-mine owners or the wild-cat), money advocates who have taught them to bebimetalists. The history ol agricultural ptices and the inequitable condition into which agricultural producers have have been brought by gold appreciation afford logic enough to sustain them in a stubborn resistance the extreme gold-bug#efforts of money dealers. Any United States currency must include a silver dollar as a legal tender uuit of value. If all the congressmen go to Washington with that principle before them there should be little obstruction to a repeal of the Sherman act. The principle is distinctly stated in the democratic national platform and all the party’s platforms in democratic states reiterate the declaration. It is the principle which is meaut when platforms, mentioned the currency of the constitution. The principle will eudure while the American control their finances. The west and south desire that a repeal shall come in company with an assertion of au intention to restore a consistent bimetalism. « Ex-Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, who is the father-in-law of that high-flying young man once known to the toadies* of the country as “Prince Harrison,” now plain Russell Harrison, in compliance with a request, has resigned his membership on the Utah commission, and II. IL Lett, who was a prominent candidate for governor of the territory, has been appointed in his place. This makes the commission stand three democrats and two republicans, and in view of the expectation that the territory will be admitted to statehood at the coming session of congress, it is not expected that any further changes will he made in the commission.

Petersburg citizens are at the preseut time enjoyiug city life, due to the fact that she has one of the finest electric light plants in Indiana. The system used is manufactured by the Brush company of Cleveland, Ohio, The current was turned bn last Saturday evening . and worked like a charm and gives universal satisfaction. The Democrat started in the fight of street lighting last Rummer and kept up the fight until a company was Organized and thetoWn trustees’ contract was accepted. Saturday evening, June 17tli, The Democrat had the satisfaction of seeing the streets illuminated by electric lights. All the talk in the world will not convince you so quickly as one trial of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, lor scalds, burns, bruises, skin affections and piles. O. ft Co. 34*

Whatever may lie urged against the liberal and costly system of pensions by which old soldiers are benefltted, it possesses the merit of keeping many millions of dollars in circulation every month. The effects of the receut Indiana bank failures would have been the more keenly felt in parts qf the state where they occurred had not a large share of the seven hundred thousand dollars and more paid at the same time from the pensiou sgency here gone into inmtediate circulation. The week before $1,700,000 was paid to Indiana pensioners, and agent Ensley says that by the end of the month the payments will reach $3,000,000. This is more than is involved in the failures of the small banks, added to the larger failure, that of the Capital National. Had this vast sum in pensions been kept from circulation there would now be tight times in the towns and villages in which there were bank failures.

Why should this monev cost so much to put it In circulation ? Why pay over one-half of the whole amount to officers? The laws should be so framed that every soldier should ‘have one dollar per day, ,and no more, except some of the exitreme cases where a man is -o that he ■cannot perform any labor. Give everyone to understand that the one dollar per day is all; then pay every month through the county treasurers, and apply the amount now paid ^to officers, to ex-soldiers. The same amount of money that is now paid for peusions and for the officers of the pension department, will pay this amount and leave a small surplus. A now society was organized in this city last Saturday w°ith an even membership of 100 gentlemen and is called the ‘*D. If.” organization. The initiation ceremonies took place on the streets at any and all places.' Its objects are numerous and* the next meeting will take place when the incandescent lights are turned on. The first meeting was on the occasion of the electric light plant turning on the arc street lights. Each member may be known by the small black string lied in vest button-hole. The society will meet this (Friday) evening on the Sand Hill cut north of the city on the E. & I. railroad. It is not generally known to the people of this city, but Petersburg can lay claim to having the finest baritone singer in Indiana. On Friday evening after the show the gentleman accompanied his lady friend home, and was invited in. After remaining for sometime he, the baritoiie songster, was luvited to sing a solo. He readily responded. While reaching higl{“A” the young lady’s father, who is slightly deaf, opened the door and asked where the fire was at. Immediately he of the baritone voice tied. Em Harrell, the komic editor of the Netcs, is the possessor of this fine baritone voice.

Electric lighting being a new thing to a lew of the residents of Petersburg a number of jokes were played on some of the boys who were wanting easy jobs. One old gentleman and another person or two were willing to take the job of lighting the lamps by the year or month, while some wanted the job of tilling them up. Some of them were so much ip earnest that they were seen pricing ladders and other appliances. The joke was soon taken up and considerable fun was had at the boys’ expense, and they will continue to work along as of old. Now is a very good time to make a few pretty experiments with growing truit. From white paper cut out monograms, initials or pretty devices. Paste them on the reddening sides of pears, apples or other small fruits, and when the fruit has ripened the design will be on the fruit in white or green, after the removal of the paper, surrouuded by the natural pink or red of the fruit. You can prepare a pretty surprise for some of your friends by this simple method. The court docket for the July term is rather a slim affair. There are forty-two cases on the civil docket, ten of which are divorce cases. Are you insured? If not, now is the time to provide yourself and family with a bottle of Chamberlain’s colic, cholera and diarhoea remedy as an insurance against any serious results from an attack of bowel complaint during the Summer months. It is almost certain to be needed and 6honld be procured at once. No other remedy can take its place or do its work. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by J. K.
