There is a possible chance of Petersburg having,a large manufactory located here in the very near future. !lii conversation witii a gentleman last Saturday he conveyed the idea that he Was contemplating the opening of a factory here, one in which thirty or forty hands would be given femploytneUt. The factory is one Syhich (he editor of The Democrat has contended all along would pay in this locality, there being large quantities of the timber annually going to Waste. The gentleman will give the question a careful investigation before finally determining upon the Venture, arid The Democrat hopes to Wable at no distant date to give its t-eadefs the news that the.tactory will be located. It would not be a bad idea for the citizens of the town to feet together for the purpose of giving encouragement to parties who desire lo gb'iufo the manufacturing channels bf ti ade in this locality. Pike county With her fertile lands and find quality ot timber only stands in its own light from the fact that it is nbt advertised the cbdntrjr at large. Her coal fields hre among the best in the world, and at no’distant time in the future will ! .be Worked very extensively. The citizens of Petersburg should come to the front bnd see that these facts are sent broadcast all over the country. The business men and capitalists should not stand back for a few dollars and see factory after factory located at some Other point without first making an attempt to secure it. Manufacturing enterprises make business to a town, and business makes money1 to a town. Are you hustling ?

9 ' ■ There seems to be a demand that the people know something in regard to the jail question. The Democrat proposes tfrgive all sides a chance. And in 8rder to do this will have “open house”1 for the next several months in order to give the people of Pike county a chance to show Why there should be a jail built, and why One should not be built. If you have anything to say on the subject don’t be backward and say you had ho chance. The columns of The Democrat are always open for the disfcussion of ar.y bhbject which concerns the people'directly or indirectly. In writing your communications on this subject be careful to sign your name that We may know whether or not the writer is sincere. Don’t be backward. The man who is a democrat or republican when there is to be a distribution of loaves and fishes is the inost detestable being in the political World. He is a stench in the nostrils of honeu tnen and despised|by everybody. lie is a sort of a political hyena Willing'to stand off until honest men win a victory and then want a share In. the fruits of that victory. All parties have these barnacles and. all parties would gladly throw them over board, but there is no place for them to go ; they are too light to sink aud too lazy to swim, > . —mmmm—^p— Judge Joseph S.

‘--rtf- ' —»-. «t *r PROOF OF THE PUDDING. The reluctance of the republicans to accept for the passage of t he Sherman law is wholly ex post facto. In the fall of 1890 some of them were alarmed lest'the democrats would at some time or other lay claim to a part of the credit. It will be remembered that after the bill was passed speculation in sitter became very active and the price wis rim up to $1.21 per Ounce, with possibly a few sales at a higher figure. For the moment ii appeared as if the prophecy of iliose who had predicted that the bill would bring the bullion value of Silver to a parity with its coining value, or $1.2929, was going to be fulfilled. Accordingly on September 10, 1890, the republicans «f Indiana in their platform “pointed with pride” in the following expressive fashion: ' “We cordially commend the action of republicans tin congress on the subject of silver coinage. Ex-President Cleveland by message to congress, strongly opposed all legislation favorable to silver coinage, and the law recently enacted was passed in spite of persist, ent democratic opposition. Under its bene--ticient intluences silver has rapidly approached the gold standard of value,’farm products are advancing in price, and commerce is feeling the impulse of Increased prosperity. It will add more than $50,000,0011 annually of sound currency to the amount in circulation among the people, and is a long yet prudent step toward free coinage,’* We do not fltid In resolution any evidence that the republicans of Mr. Harrison's state regarded the Sherman act as ncccassary to head oil-free coinage, hut on the contrary, that they regarded it as a wise legislation and a long step toward free coinage. The Indiana republicans were not without some good reason for making these assertions. A leading republican congressman, Mr. Conger, of Iowa, when he offered the conferance report on the bill iu the House, had spoken as follows: ‘•This measure will be given to t)i£ country, I am happy to say, by republicans. It was agreed upon la conierence by republicans only. It was passed in youder chamber opiy by republican votes, and I suspect that it nVay pass here only by republican votes. It will then go where it will be signed by a republican president, and from there it will go to a country which, in November next, will give such a republican indorsement that many of you gentlemen will not be found here to pass upon the next silver measure that may come before congress. It Ik, Mr. Speaker, in line with republican judgement and republican policy.** Mr. Conger was quite right in saying that many of the members ot the House who then heard would not be members of the next congress. In this he proved himself a true prophet, albeit one ot those who keep the word of promise to the ear only.- Mr. Conger mcautThat the popularity of the Sherman law would be so great that many democratic congressman would fail of re-election. It turned out just the other way;_It was the republi

cans ot whom so many failed to get back, and Mr. Conger was one of them, though candor compells the admission that the silver bill was not the principal cause of their ifai^ire. This is by no means all the evidence available on this sudject. Various other republican conventions held in 1890 commended the Sherman act. California indorsed it. Arizonia complimented it,but demanded free coinage. Idaho called it “a splendid victory over the enemies of silver." Kansas called it a step in the right direction. Michigan indorsed it. North Carolina returned the thanks ol the American people to congress for passing the bill and to Mr. Harrison for signing it. Tennessee congratulated the country in the wise solutiou ot the silver question. West Virginia congratulated congress on the passngo of the bill. There were more of ttie same sort, but these will suffice until the republican organs do some more denying on tho subject. All those wise acres who are heaping dead loads of abuse on the present administration for the low price of wheat, wool and other commodities, should stop and reflect on the situation a little more calmly. Wheat, which will likely start out in our home market for fifty cents a bushel, and the McKinley law with a tariff of twenty-five cents on eaph bushel of wheat, is still in full force. Wool is sold under a McKinley tariff of twelve cents on the pound, and in fact all the laws that were iu operation under Harrison and the republican administration, is jn full force now. Those laws which the republican party so delight to honor are all in full force and just the same as if a republican president was spoiling his clothes! in the white house chair. |t will take time to change the vicious legislation ot the past into something wholesome, substantial and for the people. The democratic party is equal to the task, however, and will bring back healthy the industrial and financial condition of our country. George Q. Hoflhiues died at the St. Vincent hospital, Indianapolis, \yednesday of last week. The deceased was twenty-one vears old. He had been undergoing treatment there for sometime. His fattier some years ago was constable of Washington township, and at One time operated the woolen mills. The deceased was buried at Indianapolis.

■ .i-rc? ts—“fr--—-^r--.-r-y>-A correspondent of the Paoli Republican gives the following estimate of the cost of raising wheat in that section. He says: My lignres for the cost of producing wheat in Orange county (counting pasture and straw a fair compensation for thresh- ; ing) is as follows, on average land: Breaking ground, per acre .. t 1 25 - Harrowing two times, peracre... 30 Dragging one time, per acre. 15 Drifting, peracre. ..t...:. 40 Cutting, twine furnished, per acre. 90 Bhocking, peracre. 40 tsix pereentint. on land ££> per acre.... 1 55 Tax, peracre . 15 l\,bu. seed wheat at 60c, per acre. 70 100 pounds bone meal.. . 1 50 Total cost per acre... .1 7 30 If the laud produces 10 bushels' per acre it will cost 73 cents to produce a bushel of wheat. If the laud produces 15 bushels per acre it will cost 48% cents to produce a bushel of wheat. If the laud produces 20 bushels per acre it will cost 36% cents to raise a bushel of wheat, i f the land produces 25 bushels it will cost 29 cents. If the land produces 30 bushels it will cost 24% cents. All that honesty, experience and skill can do to produce a perfect pill, has been employed in making DeWitt’s Little Early Kisers. The result is a specific for sickheada.che, billiousness and constipation. Sold by B. O. & Co. - 34' An exchange says: A most effective wav to - relieve financial striugeucv is to keep money in circulation by the payment of “little bills." To “pay as you go" is always best, but some persons are compelled by circumstances to ask for credit. It ;is wise to pay bills at short intervals for mauy reasons. The creditor mayhave a great number of small bills outstanding, atid may bo seriously embarassed by their non-payment. The longer a bill remains unpaid the harder it is to pay. To the man in receipt of an income which is uo more than his necessary expenses require.it may be easy to pay a small bill, but it he allows it to go unpaid other bills may be added to it and the aggregate will be a serious burden.

Bergen, Oliphaut & Co. 34* The Chicago Times says : The Indiana folks have probably done the right thing more completely than any body. A great, cool room that takes up half tho third story of the Hoosier building has been fitted for luncheon parties. The room has a clea^i linoleum floor, its many windows are white curtained and it is filled with broad white tables, where whoever comes in may eat. There are polite servants in attendance and 'big

pitchers of ice water are scattered everywhere. Hundreds of people come to this place every pleasant day. From 11 o’clock to 12 it is a merry place, The lunchcrs here are quite different from the dejected people who perch on steps,lumber heaps and piles of stuff, and munch dry food iuThe lower end of the grounds.
