This is the season of the year when business meu who operate stores advertise. They are the ones who sell the goods that they purchase in the city markets. They do not hold over fall and winter goods until the next year aud place them upon the shelves. They have something fresh and new and not shelf-tvorn. People who buygoods should remember tha* the bus? iness man who advertises has goods to sell that have not been in stock for the past ten years. The Democrat means just exactly what it says that the merchants who advertise have a fresh stock of goods. If you don't believe it call at their stores and they will show you the new styles, not those of fonr>or five years ago. It pays to advertise and you will always see the wideavfake merchant with au ad in the newspapers. There is only one medium in which to meet a large percent of the trade in Pike county, and that is through The Democrat. It circulates among a trade that does not take any other county paper, and therefore is a better advertising medium than any other paper in the county. Write up your ad and The Democrat will do the rest.

The Vincennes Commercial in its great wrath over the trial in which Dan Benton, who was sent to the penitentiary from Springfield, Illinois, several months ago, for two years for impersonating Bill Newby in making application for a pension, makes the statement that Hoke Smith spent $00,000 of the old soldiers’ money in prosecuting an innocent man and who should have been a pensioner. The Commercial should at least lay the blame where it properly belongs it it desires to vent its political hatred. This man Beuton who was at one time liu inmate ot the county infirmary, was hunted down and arrested under the Harrison administration. The detectives in the pension bureau were here more than two years ago working up the evidence in the case. They were employed while the pension bureau was under the supervision of a republican, and Dau Benton was prosecuted by a republican district attorney. If Dau Benton is Bill Newby he was knocked out of a pension by a republican commissioner of pensions, amt not by Hoke Smith. If it cost $00,000 to prosecute Dan Benton, Hoke Smith didn’t make the expense as the case was pending when he was-appointed as secretary of the interior.- When tire Commercial desires to raise shoel with Iloke, it should look into the records and see when its busted political thunder was originated.

Hon. Carter Harrison, World's fair mayor of -Chicago, was assassinated at his /residence in that city last Saturday evening by a crauk named Prendergast, who fired three shots, killing the mayor instantly. Mayor Harrison was probably one of the best knowu men in the United States. Being as he was at the head of a great city ana during the world’s fair he was the man among men most sought after by people of all natious. He had taken a most prominent part in all the public exercises attending the fair, and at noon of the day he was assassiuated had made a speech at the ringing of the new liberty bell, surrounded by the mayors and prominent people throughout the world. It would seem that all public meu j holding executive positions are in constant danger of their lives at alt times from cranks who seem to have some fancied grievance which must be avenged. Carter Harrisou was serving his fifth term as mayor of that city. The iuneral occurred Wednesday. Ignorance of the merits of DeWitt’s Little Early Kisers is a misfortuue.

DANIEL W. VOO RULES. One morning iu 1874 the writer, being in Terre Haute, engaged a bootblack to remove some too conspicuous traces of Indiaua mud. Opening a conversation with the boy we fiually asked the question “who, is . the fii>t n.au iu town, the most prominent citizeu iu Terre Haute P “Why,” said the youngster, iu surprise, “I thought everybody knowed that— Dau Voorhees, of course—you can just bet he’s the biggest tuan ’round here.” Subsequent inquiry disclosed the unquestionable fact that no man could staud higher in the esteem, regard and afleotion of his home constituency thau . Senator Daniel W. Voorhees, the “Tall Sycamore of the Wabash,” as his owu people proudly term him. Daniel Woolsey Voorhees wasboru in Butler county, Ohio, September 27, 1S27, but was taken a few mouths later by his pioneer parents into the almost unbroken wilderness of the Wabash Valley. There, in Fountain couuty, his father purchased and opeued a farm ot about 700 acres, the larger portiou of which is still iu his family. Traiued in the hard-work-ing life of a western farmer’s boy, Senator Voorhees’ sympathies have always been active and acute iu be-* half of the plaiu people iu whose rauks he was born aud whose ways of life and methods of thought aud actiou tew public men understand sot well. Until nearly seventeen years of age Seuator Voorhees had no better educational advantages thau those afforded, by the usual country schools held during the winter, ^kt the time his parents sent him to the Indiaua Asbury University (now Del’auw University) where he graduated in 1849. Having taken up the study of law he was soon alter admitted to the bar.

for nearly ten years tie pracuceu extensively in theeasteru counties of Illinois, coming in contact with such eminent lawyers as Judge David Davis, Abraham Liueolu, Stephen Logan, Leonard Swell, Oliver L. Davis and others of the first ability, either as associates or opponents, but always as hts warm persoual friends. Ire was early active in political lite, and in 1853 was appointed state prosecutor for his circuit, and iu 1S58 he was appointed by President Buchanan United States District Attorney for ludiana. lu 1880, after a hard contest and iu a losing year for his patty, he was elected to congress from the Terre Haute district, and has been in public life almost constantly from that time until the present. Ou all flie great public questions which have arisen during his long congressional service "his course has been so positive, pronounced and aggressiye that it is known of all men, and needs no detailed reference here. But it is especially worthy of note, as showing the remarkable hold he has always had on the confidence of tiis own party in Indiana, that he has received seven 'nominations for the house of representatives and five commissions as a seuator, and never had even nominal opposition in any nominating couveution or legislative caucus of the democratic party. It is also a fact that he has been elected a senator from Indiana ofiener and for a greater number of years *nd by larger majorities than any other man of any party iu the entire history of the state. Ilis Is a record of which the people of his stale without distinction of party may well bo proud, Studeuts of the problems of heredity will be interested in the fact that he Is of unbroken Holland descent on the paternal side. He is a lineal direct descendant, in the seventh degree, from Steven Coerte Van Voorhees, who emigrated from the province of Drenthe, Holland, in tho ship “Bontekoe” and' settled on Long

Is!aiui. New York, in 1660. Throughout six generations of this fautily no mate member of it ever made a domestic alliance outside of the blood of the old Dutch republic. A purer strain of llottand blood cannot be fouud iu this, country and it is not strange that h'e has inherited so many of the qualities of his brave Dutch ancestors. Their sturdy independence, love of liberty, blunt, straightforward honesty, and capacity for hard Jwork are all characteristics of Senator Voorhees. From the fact that he has at times appeared for the defense in criminal eases of grcat-and sensational interest, an erroneous impression has been created that Senator Voorhees’ great prominence in his profession was due to his skill as a criminal lawyer. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Referring to this popular error Senator Voorhees once said: “I am not a criminal lawyer at ail ; know nothing of the criminal classes and never allow them to come near me. I have been called ou a few times in my Ufe to defend gentlytueu who

have been compelled in defense of their homes, their families or themselves, to kill their ruthless and lawless assailants. I never defeud criminals. ” Senator Voorhees has . always shown strong sympathy for the under dog in the fight, and has never hesitated to defend anyone he believed unjustly accused, no matter how unpopular that side of the case might be. A marked illustration of this quality is shown by his defense of John E. Cook, in Xovember, 1859. Cook wa£ charged with participation in the John Brown raid at Harper’s Ferry. Senator Voorhees was then United States district attorney for ludtaua, aud it was predicted that he would be removed from Office on the .ground that Iris’appearauee in such tease was inconsistent with his ofeial relations to the government. President Buchanan sent for him and personally complimented him ou the course he had pursued. * Mr. Voorhees has always had the courage of tiis opinions anil made his positiou on public quostious too plain to be misunderstood. lu the recent protracted debate in the senate on the silver question, Mr. Voorhees, as the chairman of the seriate finance committee, has beeu the leader of those favoring the repeal of the Sherman law.

We quote with sincere portion of his remarks on tike ques approval a ruction, by lion of minority obst means of w hich a few senators have thus far succeeded in preventing a vote ou the bill for the repeal of the Sherman act. “I am tender of minorities,” said Mr. Yoorhees. "1 would uot injure the minority, but shall the minority govern? Answer me, shall me minoriiy govern ? somebody has to rule; somebody has lo control this government. Shall it be the minority or the majority ? The senator front Idaho signified that possibly they had a majority. Then let ns ascertain that by a vote and we will submit to it gladly, willingly, if we are in the minority. WUt you ? Iso. Then the question comes whether the senate can be governed at all. I stand here tonight not talking compromise. I stand for the rule ot the majority. A great deal has been saiu about compromise in the last week. I have not shared in it.' There is a mighty principle involved in this. And I am goiug to the end with it, so far as I am personally concerned. If I godowu I will go with my flag united to the masthead. If a compromise is to take place on the principle that the minority has the right to dictate, it will be by others, not by me—not in the slightest.” These words have the ring of true metal. If the time has really come when minorities are to rule, then we had bettor reconstruct our form of government. It may be said in conclusion that Senator Yoorhees is above all else a truly patriotic American—ajmai> of the people, who believes in them and trusts them, and who has never yet betrayed the unbounded trust and confidence they have reposed in hitu. —Chicago Unity.
