The editor of the Press should now feel content since the * creamery lias been forced to close down Hut for the purpose of letting the public know the status of things it can be said that it was not a lack of milk ljurnished that caused the suspension. 'Lite farmers are making a very healthy kick because of the loss they have sustained, and several of tke business jnen‘have also made a kick ofjarge dimensions. Let the ’creamery be started up again.

There is at the present thousands of j dollars in Pike county hoarded up that ; pnight just as well lx: put iu the stove [ and burned up fo£ all the good it does. Money is worth nothing' unless J jn circulation. Let loose of your' pursestrings and liven things up. j The bitterest pill in the President’s j message for the republicans to swallow, was the plain statement that hc| expected congress to obc> the will of ’ the people and proceed to reform the; iniquitous tariff as soon as the finan-l ces have been looked after. Because the troubles brought upon the country by republican tiuancial legislation have so couspiciously forced themselves upon public attention of late, republicans have allowed themselves to believe that the McKinley law was to be undisturbed by this congress. They know belter now, and the knowledge doesn’t please them.

The Pike county fair, will be in session next week. The managers are hard at work for the success of the fair, and no doubt will make it so. Ail citizens should take au active interest in such an enterprise as it'Shows to visitors just what kind of a county this is in products. Pike county does not take a ' ack scat for any county in the state.

A WORK FOR ALL. ' Times come in llie history of-every' nation when partisanship Vfioulil. slink away abashed from the pretence nt an emergency that demands the broadest patriotism ami the must liberal intellijfeheo. Swell a time is tipoii us now. To project into our deliberation* upon the public question* pressing fori wine solution any, of that contentious spirit which feeds Itself as it spends Itself, upon the everyday quarry!* over other, is to forget the seriotfs purpose of the campaign j in the excitement of the foray. j ; Tit is as to what should he. As to What is, may heaven pity us and our limitations. Here is a crisis calling for grave eoJisidt ration, an einergencj demanding jthe best gtatemanship, a problem to engage the wisest efforts lit solution. | The financial and commercial world is desperately flanging on to the life-raft praying for succor. It has drifted for days.. Its strength is fast chbitig. ks supplies are low. Matty of the weaker members have succumbed. The rest .have in the nick of time sighted hope in congressional act ion, and are anxiously, and with marvelous patience waiting for the life boats. The poison of partisan politics has gone deep indeed if we can not at such a time put a*lde trivial conten-tious-ami bend ourselves without difference of party to the work of rescue. Wo should expect, as we certainly should havefctlie right to expect, that at such, a time the work of rescue, would not be hindered or delayed by any irrelevant controversies as to who got the unfortunates in such a plight. Yet such controversies have front the first, and stupidly enough, been precipitated by the republican press, which lias lost no opportunty to say that the existing state of things is due to the democratic policy, though that democratic policy is not yet represented on the statute books by a single democratic law.

The playing of the blame may saiely berelegated to a campaign year. Illinois are now to be won, not by liim wiio convicts bis adversary, but by bint wlio is foremost in remedying tbjj ill elleets of the fault, regardless dt wlio made it< AVe need a pull altogether, and tiiere is room at tbe tope for 8.11 parties and all factions. No political* organization Iras a right tijexist if it have not, under all thy tricks and devices and insincerities that political exigencies are supposed'to demand and under all the contentions of party warfare, a eatlio11c spirit devoted to tbe good, and vigorous enough, when the demand comes, to throw off all incumbrances and to meet tvith men ot all other parties on the common ground of general welfare, with partisanship to the rear any patriotism to the fore. A man whose thought at sueh a time is more of a party or factural advantage than of public deliverance and whb withhold a helping hand lest some other party than his own get credit for the Result, is mean enough to drive a bargain with a drowning man. and to demand cash in advance before lie flings a life preserver. Xor is he better, who would ch^ay the work Of rescue by muddfiug the waters Of controversy with irrelevant issues, or hindering the operations of congress by factious filibustering, in order tjo fCjueeze from the public emergejucy, a- the price of help„-sonie trivial advantage for a favorite scheme or factions First to ihtf feafttie. All things else can wait. Let us remove the menace of want and suffering that stalks about the collage door of every wage earner in the laud. I'ulilic confidence must be strengthened, that the hoarded dollars may lake courage to resume their work of exchange. The shipwrecked and storm-beaten sufferers must he brought safe aboard and wihen all aVe well clothed and well fid and well rested, and the storm has brokeu away, and the good shipof state, with'her convoys of finance and commerce and industry, once more rides easily ou summer seas, why then again may we have up the old bones of contention and resume bur bickerings over the chaff of politics to while away the tedium of a dull season.

The creamery of Petersburg has at last been forced to close down, not because of a scarcity of milk, but from threatened? prosecutions and suits at law. Mr. Burger, the proprietor, bought the creamery about a year ago from the assignee, and during that time, or the better part of it, has lost money, but during the last few months has been doing fairly well, the farmers seeing that there was money in furnishing milk to the creamery. Of course, The Democrat does loot pretend to say that there was no smell about the creamery or the grounds, but does say that they were kepti as cleau as water could keep such places, There being no system of sewerage in the cily washings

from (he vats and floors were turned Auto a tiling and from there conveyed into ttye branch, just where all refuse matter from factories and families living along said branch are dumped.. There was nothing wrong: in that. The branch if not clean and has not been for over flfteeu months that the writer knows of. it is tlie only place where factories have of dumping their waste water, and if they are to be prosecuted for that what is the use] of trying to secure oihirr. As stated j in the columns of The Democbat a few weeks ago there should be a thorough system ot sewerage in Petersburg so that manufacturers and others would have a place to dispose of refuse water and slops. Jl is a shame' and a disgrace to the town that a factory, while not employing many hands, is compelled lo close-down. While it is hut a small institution yet it puts a great deal of money in circulation each month. The farmers w ho have been soiling milk to (lie creamery are making a big kick in regard to tlie closing down, but are very hopeful that the creamery will he again started up. What Mr. Burger’s intentions may he in regard to again operating the creamery, wc are unable to say, hui it is to be hoped faculties may be allowed to operate within the corporate limits of the city, or else I he question of booming for manufacturers to locate here must cease., All who know Mr. Burger know him to be one of the most public spirited men living in Petersburg today, and no enterprise is ever mentioned, but what he is counseled in regard thereto, and is always ready to lake stock in the enterprise. Open up the creamery.

Since the introduction of electric lights in Petersburg the town boyrd has reduced the tax levy for lighting purposes from 20 cents on each 5100 to 15 cents. Electricity Is cheaper than coal oil, and if the town owned its own plant its electric lighting would cost taxpayers nothing, while it now edsts them $-’,100 per year for twenty-four lights.—Jumper i Courier. The editor ol the Courier is mistaken. The siatntes of Indiana fixes the rate of levying tax for illuminating purposes. The last legislature reduced the figure from 150 cents to 15 rents. The levy as now made of 15 cents on the $100 valuation will not raise half as much money as is needed to pay for illuminating, hence money will have to be taken out of the general fund to pay the contract price. —... . '.i i “If farmers could regulate the output of their crops the same as manufacturers” argues the Monticello Democrat, “the low prices prevailing would give wav to something more substantial. When our manufacturing trusts are in danger of glutting the market, thereby decreasing the prices, they shut down, throw the ‘protected American workman1 „uut of a job and dispose of their surplus. If farmers would raise no wheat next j year that cereal would‘bo in demand j at a good round price.” The farmer J who voted for the present system of tariff “protection” Is a chump.
