The Editor of the News seems to be on top. The fight w fun has opened up aud the 11 begin at once. Things “peirlitikal” will begin to boil in Tike county in the very near future. Whan the proper time arrives it will lf*e very in teresting reading that The Democrat will contain. It was simply a JigJit last Saturday between the Press and the News for a chairman of the repn blican central committee, and the man the News put forward was elected without opposition when the test came. If thfere is anything you want, ask for it, and it will be giveu to you. But in the tight tor state pension agent there seems to be more “wanting” than “giving.” It is funny how the “plums do fall” anyhow. The departments at Washington <City need overhauling. There'are clerks employed who have been there for the past twenty years. Fire them and give the democrats a chance. The sppils if there be any belong to the democrats. Sockless Simpson, he of populist fame, rbade a speech in congress last Friday in which he pointedly placed *he blame of the present financial crisis just] where it belongs—to the republican party. The truth will come ht last regardless of results. The editor of the News was just about fts happy a man as there was in Petersburg last Saturday. IIis man for chairman of - the contra! commute was elected, and the editor himself declined the secretaryship. And ^t last it came to pass, etc. J. Scott Harrison, brother of expresident Harrison, who was nominated by President Cleveland to be surveyor of customs at Kansas City, has failed of confirmation in the senate. Wii other words he was rejected. The same rule should have applied to Gresham, McVeigh, et al.t and democrats for revenue only. The democratic meetings on January 8th throughout Indiana adopted resolutions favoring the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Those Indiana congressmen who voted against such a measure before'will please take notice. The representalive frdm the First disl rict knew the wants of the people and voted for the 16 to 1 ratio.

THEikE promises to b>3 considerable fun in the coming congressional light Vn the; First district. Hon. A. P. Twincliam is being boomed for a renomination by the Evausville Journal, while some of the other papers seem to thi-k that other gentlemen should^ be given a chance. Let ’em light. ’-It is a free country anti all of our republican friends haye a chance —for the‘nomination. i MarkAVoolsey, of Monroe township, was in the city last Saturday. Mr. Woolsey is a republican and is after the nomination fo» auditor. ^Thereis fun ahead, as there aije several of the boys who are laying back until the date for the primary is named, when with colors fl\|ng they will enter the race. Mr. Woolsey is a school teacher and formerly ’{Veld a position in the Oaklaud City gchools.

Congressmen are taking up very valuable time making *p$fches pro ajid ;on on the Wi'aon lari|T bill to send home to their constituents. What the people want is less wind work and juorc action on the matter. A vote in favor of or against the bill Would have a tendency to lift the depression in the business world, importers art. laying idle, and wil), until the bill is passed ordefeated. To work should be the watchword pf the public servants. During (he last National campaign the republican newspapers of the country applauded Andrew Carnegie the big iron magnate, to the skies. Andrew has now declared in favor of the Wilson tariff bill, saying that his business will not suffer thereby, but rathey be an advantage to him. The new tariff bid cuts down the duties on all iron. But these same newspapers are now condemning him in the severest terras. There is something rotten in Denmark.

=F .Tames Coats, of Clay township, Who has been a candidate several times for the nomination for represenative, will enter the ra**e once more. It Is said that he wilf iiave no opposition before the republican primary,: providing, however, that Dr. Bethel I is not a candidate for renomination. Mr. Coats has been in the harness for a number of years and is deserving of recognition at their hands. But the facts are itjiat a democrat will be elected to represent the couuty in the legislature. The people are Just now beginning to realize the enormity of the extravagance of the dissolute Reect congress The measures of that congress are just now coming to the front and unless some remedy is speedily put forth to meet the inheritances, handed dbwn there will be trouble in meeting the obligations. The secretary of th^e treasury is considerably worried in that regard, and how to make both ends meet' is a question that is puzzling the heads of the government. Our republican friends knocked t|te surplus silly that was handed down by Grover Cleveland four years ago. jMuRDEus, fights and cutting affrays are getting numerous in Pike county ahd some action must be taken pu the part of the proper officials to suppress the crimes being committed- The courts should deal out justice With a strong hand and show to the violators of the law that such a thing will not be tolerated in this copnty. Good, square, wholesome seuteuces will suppress these almost weekly occurrences. At thje present time there are two persons in jail, one for murder, aud another attempting highway robbery and murder, while another is out on bail for assault with intent to kNl. Tike laws should be enforced to the letter, and every guilty man punished tw -accordance with the unormity of the eyime committed. To prolong the uncertainty about the definite character of the tariff schedule to be adopted by the present congress will be to inflict! serious damage upon the industrial, and commercial interest of the country. It is not the fear of tariff revision which is disturbing industry, for the people have Insisted upon that policy in a most^mphatic manner. It is the lack of congress for carrying out the wdirk that is largely responsible for the prevailing disquietude. The speedy enactment of a law in conformity [with the general features of the bill already reported, which assumes that the consumer has rights and interests as well as the manufacturer, and which setfei^to conserve the welfare of both by providing for thb introduction of free raw material, would be the greatest possible boon to industry, and this duty ought not to; be postponed beyond the period ofia clear and intelligent consideration of the question.

R. G. Dun & Co’s Weekly Review of trade of last week says: “lousiness has distinctively improved since the new year came and the gain is no logger yisible only in speculative markets- it is the only kind of improvement that has in its possibilities of lasting because it is based upon actual increase in the production ot industries. As all rejoice to see it there is perhaps a little disposition to reckon the gain greater than it is yet but several establishments have started part force, hoping to increase, and more smaller works have started than have stopped. Orders from dealers whose mocks approach exhaustion form a pertinent cause; the other is the widely prevalent impression that action at Washington will be mere satisfactory than many have expected and a belief that in any cases the situation will not be changed until goods now in the works can be marketed has weight in snmi trades. Whatever the causes evetiva moderate gain is cheering.” \ -

The use of money to/flafeat the Wil* ] son urifl bill |s the dominant idea «.*t those who hjpo grow rich at the expense of the cons mers of Jhe country by reason of she so-called protection legislation of republicans. Democratic jQougressra returning to Washington from districts hairing protected manufacture! s nearly ail agree in saying that money is being spent by those mf nufacti ers in order to work up a bogus pub ic sentiment in those districts against the Wilson tariff bill hoping thereby o influence the Representatives to rote against the bill. Not only are ha is hired fo meetings to be held to pre lest agaii.s the bill, Individuals are er ployed by the hundred to go to Washington, anil to get signatures at home to petitions asking that the bill be no* passed, and space is boghtiuthe columns of impecunious newspaper which ciaim to be independent which is tilled with shrewdly written articles adapted to the iocali y and intended to frighten the igi orant Into

I the belief that the passa e of the ' Wilson bill will be a local calamity oi iuealaomtbie magnitude. All ot thet-e things were exp< cted. The democrats knew that the meu who had grown rich by legislation would not see that legislation upset without spending a part of their easily acquiri | wealth to prevent it. But the money is wasted as tar as its influence upon democrat* ic Congressman is concerned. It is easy to And democratic Congressmen who like to change some schedule in the Wiisou bill and who propose to state their reasons for lesiring a change to the democratic caucu* soon to be held, and ask that it be made, but the number of democrats who will refuse to vote lot the bill if the caueus does not ‘agree with them can be counted upon the fingures of one hand and with fingers to spare. They generally recognize the fact that the Wilson bill is a party not an individual measure, and that as good democrats it js their duty to support the bill as It will be approved by the democratic caucus, said they will do it. No party measure has ever been passed by Congress that did not receive the votes of me j whose personal inclinations and interests were opposed thereto, and none ever will be. When a man cannot bring himself to vote for a party measure, particularly when it represents tariff reform, which has been the keystone of the democratic arch foy so many years, it is high time that he shopld cease to call himself a party man or to expect to receive honor from the party he declines to support.
