Entered at the postofflc<j In Petersburg for -pruriamission through the mails os sceondplass matter. FRIDAY, JAN. 12.1894. After ten months of very patient wkiliug Petersburg has a new postpiaster. f he Democrat was of'the opinion along that there would come a change in the Petersburg postoffice when the president settled down to siuess. ix Democrat when interviewed wishes b Interviewed by a man. A “man” is tty good, as it is generally understood t a man does a very small portion oft ting for The Democrat.—Press. [‘hanks aud the compliments of th| day to you. Our bat goes up in the air aud we scrape with both feet. The First district democrats are aliie and have put on the armor for fhe coming carapaigu. The next thing in order will he to nominate .candidates in the various counties |hat have the respect aud confidence of the voters and the First district will roll up the largest majority she hsu ever known. Murray Dalgram, a prominent re- - publican of Bowling GreenA near Brazil, and proprietor of a hotel, monkeyed with the Australian ballot lavr, aud as a consequence got his fingers scorched. He was indicted last week by the grand jury of that court for intimidating voters. When yoh fool with the election laws of Inpiana you are liable to*get scorched. The howlers are putting in some very telling blows just at the prespnt time on Grover Cleveland and the party he represents. The winter has been very mild and as a consequence those republicans who are so fortunate a6 to own a cutter have had po use for the same owing to the alleged reason that Grover ^vetoed the show bill. The price of apples has also advanced. , * The Press in hs issue of last week in answer to au article of The Democrat on jthe pension business says that Cleveland vetoed 524 private pension bills. Yes, that’s just'Vbat Grover done. 'Benjamin Harrison signed a private pension bill to a man who was never in the service. That’s just the difference between Cleveland $nd Harrison. One vetoed that class pf bills while the lother signed them. The Democrat still prefer to withhold Its opinion on the matter of building a new Jail. Never mind, Mr,Democrat, one of these tlays you will answer. 'It will probably be an unpleasant dose whichever side you take. But take it you must, sooner or later.—Press. This is really funny. This “dose” business js old, very old. Besides all this we are not iri the secoud-hand ^business, much preferring to have first smack at the jug. The Democrat has spoken very freely ou the jail questiop, giving all the neyvs to the people as it occurs^qeyor keeping hack one 6ing!e iota%BjrHhat ‘^dose.” Has the Press swallowed the first and second installments?

At a meeting of the town council last Thursday evening it was ordered that all persons not completing side* walks by the firstfof June would be .compelled to do So by law or the pouncil would take it into their own hands. That seems to be shoving the work onto a new council which will be elected in May next to succeed the present members. It would have been the proper caper for the present couucil . to taken the matter in hand and Iran these walks built immediately. The work shobld not be put off and the council at its next regular meeting should rescind the order and make it imperative that the walks be built at once. f At the district meeting at Evansville last Monday for the purpose ot t selecting a member of the democratic state centra) committee, the Hon. George W. Sbanklin, of the Evansville Courier, was ejected unanimously without opposition. The appointment of Mr. Sbanklin insures that the First district politics will be carefully looked after during the comr ing campaign and that the work will be carefully guarded and a glorious victory won under his leadership. ^The meeting was one of the largest pver held, there being large delegations from each county and very harmonious. The district democracy has cemented itself solidly in favor of tariff reform anti the free coinage of pilyer. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the administration and the Representative from the First disIf'.?-:

A FIGHT COMES FIRST, Populists are counting the whole hatch of chickeus expected from the incubation of* popular discontent. Republicans are preparing to enjoy the same political luxuries. Both opposition parties can almost taste the fried, baked, and stuffed unn fricaseed fowels due to pip next fall and iu 1894. Maybe their thoughts run ahead too fast. /The American nation has a power of material recuperation and a faculty fopseeihg things up against* on its nose, which may dissappoi hungry applicants uow Standing t he outside of history-making. Striking silver from jmo standard and electing to piivdne debts of the Government inVgjold were outrages which have heaped burdens upon the energies of the people, but there has been no prostration of energy. The soil has produced, men have labored, debts have been paid ^ whatever law makers ordered, homes have been bought and titles cleared. Givpn moderately healthy conditions of trade and the multiplying population of the United States will With its restless ambition multiply production until there is enough to pay every debt and add something to accumulated wealth. These states have never been crushed into dis^" courageraent. Tljiey have never stopped to wring their hands. They have faith, spirit and resources which have not been impaired. It has seem** ed impossible for legislators to make" a mistake bad enough to prevent progress. We have a blotchedTculrency, which would sqgre all the courage out of any other people. We have taxes qn trade whose counterparts have kept Germany and Spain poor. But the vitality of the United States is so atronff intH—they show new wealth at the eud of every twelvemonth. 1 The republican panic is over. Only & fresh attack upon the reliability of the currencyS-aud no such attack will be made—could throw us back into the stagnation of last summer. The revival has set in. Nobody can tell but the tide prosperity may be running strong betore the crops of 1$94 arc harvested;. The political party* which depends upon calamity has not a 50 per cent chance of winning next fall, and not a 10 per cent change in 1896. Nor has either the republican or populist party a case be fere the intelligence of the people. Every accusation which discontent can make againta^hp: class: legislation on the federaFstatute books must be answered by the republicans. The gold standard, the bullion purchases, the blotched currency, the threat of forcible interference with the affairs of states—all this is republican and nothing else. The people cannot beof discontent gin to trace cause of discontent with legislation ajud not end at a republican caucus. How much better when tested^ are the chosen otuw of the populists? No other two States are so disgusted with their government than Colorado and Kansas. The most deluded populist voter is berating Lewelling. and Waite. Incompetence meets therdemaud of the people at the two State bouses. Quarrels dud Intrigues honey comb the populist> organization “““ strength enough to the/control of®the wherever it has even^ promise

offices*-* No two counselors agree. There are thousands of pam^eas on paper and no remedy in action. Populist congressmen and senators have be come distinguished only for introducing bills whose doctrine had played out before Adau^>Smith brough common s^nse to bear on economics, The popuftsts have had their chance at experiment in state capitols and at Washington,, They have been convicted of the worst crime in public men—inability tb comprehend , the thought, habits, desires and his , tory of the race they aspire to govern. The democratic party cannot per- j form miracles. It cannot iu a month restore commercial order to the chaos wrought by republican^ recklessness, But its doctrine is right, its administration is honest and its efforts are unceasing. Its success for 60 years before the war is known, and its record'inThe states it has since controlled can be compared to the record of republicans in aiher states. Counting the chickens of discontent is not gathering tangible assets for the coming campaigns. Before the republicans or populists sit down to their feast, they will run the gauiile of inquiry into the use they have , made of the opportunities given them The populists j must explain theiv Leases, theirLcwellings, their Waite*, their- Peffers and their Simpson*. The republicans must explain a bankrupt treasury, a commercial crisis, a loss of export profits and a currency which treads along the ver« s of uncertainty and depreciation.

K. Fleming is postmaster for Peters--burg. Tin fight for supremacy has heenfa tyfig one and the appointment has beer anxiously looked-'for for many me iiths. Mr. Fleming served as postmaster under the former Cleveland administration and gave general s atisfaction to the patrons of the office Mr. Adams and hirdepnty Mr. Lingo have given tile people very got i service, and to the incoming and rmtgoing postmaster, jwe extend our best wishes for their future.

The office will change hands as soon as ^Ir.'F) ruing fills his bond anil his commission arrives which will be during the next twq weeks. ^ The following special from t^ashingtoii City appeared in the indmnapolie tfews last Friday: “Representative dolman has a very ablejsecomi in his efforts at public, economy in the person of Representative Taylor, of the First district; The Evarsville member is after the siuecurps that attach to the Capitol, and has been makir g it^ decidedly uncomfortable for several of them. Mr. Taylor was conspicuous in the fight against granting the extra months pay to Senate employes, which was a the featu ;*e of the deficiency bill that failed just before the adjournment+of the extra session. He also stodd by Mr. liohnan in the latter’s fight against grating mileage to Senators Cot grepsmen for the extra set Congress.” and iiou ot The members of the republican party met at the court house last Saturday to elect central committeemenfor Washington township. Tjhe following persons were elected to serve: George Tucker, Reed precinct; Joe MdKin, court house; Alex Marsee, Dixon; Winfield Selby, Hawkins; Lan Shandy, Alford.
