FltlDAY, JULY 14.18?Q. t__-nr. — We wanLuiopey aud must have it. The Democrat has waited oi» a large tiumber of subscribers during tbe past year foy th.eir subscription, and now that the time is at hand to meet ' t some outstanding obligations we piust have cash to meet them* The accounts are all sumH> hut in the aggregate means quite a large sum to The Democrat which would help out yerv materially. .Give this a sober thought aud send in yojir subscriptions at oucp. The Governor has issued a proclamation declaring in force the contract With the Indiana school book company to furnish intermediate grarnpiars to the public schools of the state. It is a sail commentary ou the magpificien^ way iu which the country has been run by the republican party Wheu the president has been ccn.pellpd to call a special session of congress within a few months of his inauguration iu order to straighten out the deplorable condition in which the country was left by the republicans, who have bad coutrol for the past several years.

The republican papers are haring a hard time these days. They are anxious for the repeal of the Sherman apt, gnd yet cannot quite reconcile themselves to the idea of haying that act repealed by a democratic congress. But as there will be nothing but a democratic congress for a good piany years yet to come, the aforesaid republican papers wpqld probably do well to reconcile themselves to the inevitable. “Laos of confidence,” ^etc., nipe terms ‘invented by MpKinleviteg to describe the present financial depression, are the uatural outgrowth of the legislation that Mr, Harrison's ad? ministration ty^S responsible foy. If p paralyzing measure like McBjduley’s, calculated to produce artificial prosperity like the vigor born of a stimulating drink, wouldn’t produce a “lack of confidence” at sobering up time there is nothing that would. The postmaster general has wisely poled that “diseased germs are unpaailablc matter.” It has got to be a pommon thing to use the mails to send to specialists for examination ^‘diseased germs” of eyery kind. Too great care pannot be exerted by postoffice authorities to stop it. It is not a pleasant thing to have one’s love letters tied np in a package with 6mall-pox, cholera or bacteria. Science must manage it without the aid pf Uncle Sam’s mail bags hereafter.

i William Swintv editor of the Boonville Enquirer, died from concussion of the brain caused by accidentally falling backwards from his porch Thursday evening. William Swint was one of the most prominent pewspaper men in Iudiaflh. He was pf brilliant mind and an able writer and his paper for many years past has been a staunch'supporter of the cause pf democracy. The deceased was of a genial disposition, kind and gcnerpus, and bad mal>y friends in the First district who sincerely regret his untimely demise. He was postmaster under Cleveland's former administration, and hip} held other oflices of trust and honor during his life time. ■ Tresident Cleveland has not and Will not attempt tp say what the details of the bill for the repeal of the Sherm*n silver law shall be'. He is > satisfied that the law is a vory bad one and also th^t congress will promptly repeal it at the extra session. He is also satisfied that it is perfectly safe to leave it to the wisdom of congress as tp how this shall be dope and what other financial legislation shall be adopted in order to undo the evil effect af the Sherman law. In conversation with a friend recently he stated hie belief that the partis! polling of the members of the honse and senate by nefrpapers famished no reliable basis to estimate what the vote pn the question pf repealing Ibis law woald be, owing to the targe number pf senators and representatives who sot declared hog they will vole.

STEER CLEAR. General Warner is the American bimetallic league. After issuing the call fur a convention at Chicago be Baid (or publication that the Sherinau act cannot be repealed without a substitute which will be satisfactory to the silver men. In this 'Statement h e confirms the gossip in Washington which figures out for tbc “silver men” si policy of obstruction against the repeal of the Sherman act. If the “silver men” are mine owners, there is nothing to say. They have something to sell, and a great Government is buying most of the aunual out put. The objection to tbe loss of customers is not remarkable, and, as human nature goes, it may not be reprehensible. But what has the bimetallic league to do with storing bullion except to denounce it as the most dangerous menace to the restoration of coiuage? It is not poosible that a democratic bimetallist can allow himself to be ranged with defenders of the Sherman act. Exposed by democrats when it was passed and denounccd|as a cowardly makeshift toy the Chicago convention, the opportunity to repeal it is a democratic opportunity. The bimetallic league should remember tW Miltonian warning that a good principle misunderstood can do as much harm as a bad one. Tbe bimetallicprinciple when confounded with bullion purchases becomes also an ally of laud loans aud subtreasuries. The i. . uemocratio partv not begin to bolster up markets ivmi government money. Its Identity with the party of Jefferson and Jackson‘Vould disappear instantly. To give tbe principle good money aud enough of it is democ-ratic,but to encourage depend

dice on the government for a material market is socialism. Tliougtless minds may entertain a temptation to retain the Sherman act because the gold men urge its repeal but no mind capable of democratic leadership would listen long to that suggestion of mere rebellious feeling. The whole country urges the repeal. The silver men w6uli| as well advocate a demonetization of gold in retaliation as to stand out against a stoppage of bullion storing. Led by John Sherman, the republicans are .trying to hide their commodity purchase work. Sherman will make a speech to prove that the democrats forced him to offer the purchase of bullion as a compromise. Let no democrat play into his hands. The bimetallic league has the wrong name it it is to labor with congress for a retention of fhe Sherman law. It will by such a course misrepresent and injure the cause of concurrent money use of gold and silver. The mischievous legislation will inevitably be repealed, because the couutry has made its mind that every interest, not excepting the miner’s ultimate prosperity, would be served by a repeal. Why think for a moment of binding bimetalism to a cause already lost ? The Shermau act must go, and if its creators are ashamed of it, its opponents should let it go unfriended. Put the battle-for coinage before the country on its merits. Many millers of Indiana arc wondering how the wheat crop will be moved this year. Harvest is now on in different parts of Indi ana aud the millers are ready for business. In the northern part of the 6late the crop is light. In Nebraska and Kansas the wheat crop has suffered. Iu the middle part of Indiana the crop is the best in history of the state, and when harvest is oyer an immense afyount of grain will be ready for shipment. The money to move this wheat crop usually comes from the east, but this year the east can not or will not furnish it, aud the west is holding on to what raouey it has. Many of the millers are trying to get money, aud have only succeeded at a high rate of interest. Indianapolis millers say that they expect'to buy wheat lower than 50 cents a bushel. Another impediment in the way of rapid rnoveof the wheat crop is the railroads have uearly all their equipment at use in the passenger business ou account of the world’s fair.

A level headed exchange says: A newspaper man is in some instances like other people. He respects his iriends, appreciates a kindness and ds always willing to return a favor. Jn other respects he resembles his fellowmeu. He will not continue ie pat a man on the back, tell him what a prominent citizen he is, how much he has done lor the town, give free personals puffs when that man will not throw personal prejudice aside or otherwise aid him in supporting his pap4r. In either words he stands by the man that stands by him. That’s about the way of the people; and a newspaper man can’t be expected to be so much different frotp ntherpeople.

■-1 While the financial stringency has had a bad effect on business in,general, it has a redeeming feature or two that are worthy of notice. When filings git close in the financial world a good many people learn lessons in economy that are not only of benefit to themselves, but to their country as well. There are a great many who never stop to thlufc about the day whcu they must pay an obligation, but go on in a system of getting credit until they are beyond their depth, and then comes the worry of paying. Credit iu the financial and business world is au essential feature of com-| mercial dealing, but is many times abused, if retail purchasers would mate it a rule to pay cash and not run accounts, it would be better for them aud the merchant with whom they deal. If such a course were pursued, finanar.eial stringencies could be withstood with greater ease. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures piles. DtPfritt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures burns.

The evening's amusements had progressed very pleasantly, and the guests were invited to partake of ice cream aud cake.. All seated themselves about the table thinking of that which cools the inner man, when it dawned upon the liosteSs like a clap of thunder that someone had lifted the freezer out of the tub. But the party not to be outdone proceeded at once to get the ue-eessai-y articles together and freeze another batch, and at' exactly two o’clock in the morning the ice cream was ready for the hungry ones. The freezer wa* found the next morning but the Contents were no more.

Almost every day some business matt from a distance is in Petersburg Raking for a business location, but it seems bard to find a desirable business bouse that is not already occupied. A gentleman was here last week looking for a location for a store room and another ntau was here trying to get a room for a notion store. We do not think either of them succeeded in finding a desirable room. The fact is, Petersburg needs more business bouses as well as dwellings. %e could not improve the quality if paid double the price. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the best salve that experience can produce, or that money can buy. Bergen, Oliphant & Co. , 34* Put to a cup of sea salt water one half ounce of camphor and one half ounceot ammonia in-a quart bottle; fill the bottle with hot water and let it stand'24 hours, then, when prepared to bathe with a sponge, put a teaspoonfull of this mixture, well shaken, into yOur basin. A surprising quantity ot dirt will come from the cleauest skin. The auimouia cleanses aud the camphor and the sea salt water impart a beneficial effect that can not be exaggerated. . Little vegetable health producers: DeWitt'a Little Early Risers cure malarious disorders and regulate the stomach aud bowels, which preveuts headache and dizziness. Bergen, Oliphant & Co. 34* Dan C. Thomas, of Winslow, was in the city last Friday. Dau has been running the Leader of that place for the past three mouths, but through1 iudiffereut support from the ‘merchants was compelled to turn the columns upside down and suspend publication. The people of that section should have supported the paper as it was well edited aud would have been of great service to the town, Captain Sweeney, U. S.

C&a individual who cleans up bis premises, white washes bis feuce and outbuildings, and keeps the weeds from growing on the sidewalk in front ot his gate, is a greater benefactor tlo a town than the individual who spends bis time on the street corners, prating about the dullness of business.
