S£fct gibe Count)} gmucrat Br a. i»icc. sioops. rt&F The Pike Count/ Democrat has the lar»at circulation ot any aewt {taper published in ike County i Advertisers will make a note of this fact! Entered at the postofflcein Petersburg for transmission through tne mails ns second* class matted# * FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2.1894.

The supreme court ha? held the fee and salary bill constitutional aud the officials will proceed to act in accordance therewith. Chairman Gowdy of the republican state committee, was elected to that poeitiou by members of the committee at Indianapolis last Thursday. They concluded to give him another chance at showing how tlie state went democratic at the last election. From the present indications there will b£ developments .in the near future which The Democrat may take a hand iu explajuirg. It is not necessary to get On tiptoe at the warming, but keep a waieliin’. The turn will soon' co.qimence and when it does lookout for breakers. John M White secured a pension of $12 for Mrs. Arthur Ilutchtns this week.— Press ' And all this from Hoke Smith, whom the Press denounces as a rebel. But from reports from the pension department he seems to be granting a great number in Pike count} and the First congressional district. The Democrat prepared its readers for a sensational squabble in the republican county convention which recently met to elect a county chairtnau and other officers. The squabble did not occur according to The Democrat’s predictions.—Press.' The little squabble occured in the moruing when the editor ot the Press was knocked out. Mr. Wilson was made chairman against the wishes of the editor. The editor can now make the most of it. The News ot last week says tliftt the friends of ex-Marshall Sant Smith are urging him very strongly to be a bandidate for sheriff before the republican primary election. Mr. Editor you are right, but you are wrong. Mr. Smith would make a good official, but Sheriff Kinman ihas a cinch on the nomination. No other need apply. Remember that the •‘ring” has something to say about who shall be »the nominees, i

The Press should not exert itself in the least about a chairman for the democratic central committee of Pike county. Wheu the new central committee is elected there will be plenty 6f time For it to oflbr suggestions. DEMOCRATS will name the man to lead them to victory at the coming: November election. The editor of the Press will have enough to do during the next few mouths to defend its county officers from whom it receives county printing without meddling in democratic doings. I Ml III M I ..I*. —I — The following Washington City correspondence to the Indianapolis New8 appeared in that paper last Thursday: Representative Taylor! of Indiana, delivered,Ibis third speech in thp House Tuesday uight. It was a general arraigumeut of the policy of protection and iu favor of abolishing the bounty and duty on sugar and in favor of lower taxes on the Necessaries of life. Mi . Taylor makes a very clever speech. He had a good Audience in the galleries and on the 2oor daring hi*remarks and at the Close received the congratulations of represenative Patterson of Tennessee and a number of otbef older members Of the House. Mr Taylor’s first speech in Congress was in favor of the repeal Of the Sherman law and for free coinage. The second wati on the printMw"-. ;

For toe benefit of Tbk Democrat we will sav that under Harrison wheat sold as low,as 60 cents and under Cleveland as low as 35 cents—25 cents per bushel in fuvor of the republican administration.—News Now, if wheat soid as low as sixty «ceuls under Harrison, why did it decline from one dollar per bushel? Wheat is now worth fifty cents per bushel we want to inform tlie-editor of the News. We will stand the reduction oif ten cents, but will you 6tand the forty cents. But answer the question. ;n?J__ . ' . UJ.‘« Wm. II. Kklso. Bike county’s largest citizen and one of her staunchest republicans says that when democracy promised in the event; of its victory the farmers would receive $1 a bushel lor their wheat they simply made a alight error—They undoniit. edlv meant to say $1 a sack instead of $1 a bushel.—Press. , In 1888 Mr. Kelso received about one dollar per bushej for his wheat. The price while Benjamini Harrison was president gradually decliued until Mr. Kelso received in the neighborhood of fifty or fifty-five cents per bushel. Mr. Kelso or the editof^of the Press will please stale the cause of the decline in the price wheat during Mir. Harrison’s term of office. Dou’t be backwaril.' A full confession is good for the souV. Civil service is a humbug and a farce, and should have no place in our government. . What should be enforced is ‘Mo the victors belong the spoils.’’ That is all that is necessary. We don’t beyeve in this so-called civil service and neither does any democrat jm the west. This country went democratic with a whoop, and there are thousands of democrats who worked early and late lor the victory aud are cjipable of filling the offices now held by republicans that make Washingron City their headquarters, It is lime to dish out the **phat” places to the boys who worked nobly in the greiitdaiidslidejif 1892.

The Demuckai is not making charges against republican count)' officials at the present time for the editor of the Press to contradict, but there Is a little fight going on between the republican papers at the present time that may need some attention in the near future. The News of last ‘week makes some very sensational charges against republican officials which the editor of the Press is in duty bound to refute, as from these said officials he receives what county Work they have to*bestow. What will be the defense made by the Press, this week. Watt and see. There is fun ahead in the republican ranks of Pike county. Wp will show that certain Republican county officials a‘re guilty of furnishing the editor of the Pike County Democrat with damaging facts against the republican party of Pike county—facts that will be used agalnist it iu the next tampaign — News. x x *'■ The above excerpt appeared injan editorial in last week’s issue of the News in its article on county officials. You can just bet your bottom dollar that the republican county officials have begit very close-mouthed to the editor of Tiie Pemockat. It they have any secrets or know anything that is not just exactly what it should be they are not coming to us to tell it, and besides we don’t want them to, as the records is all we want. And rest assured the people of Pike county are going to see them in print during the coming year. Everything shall be brought to their notice, even to the smallest item/ But just what the editor has Reference to we are uuable to say. -J

Dk. I. H Lamar says the only wav he can figure but 'hat the tanners are getting $1 a bushel! for their wheat is that they are getting 50: cents in cash and 50 cents in democratic promises. But as there seems to be no prospect of these promises ever being redeemed, what farmer would not prefer sellingjhis wheat at the good old republican price,; rather than on the democratic $1 plau.—Press. Wheat bushel. is worth fifty cents per It was worth that price when Grover Cleveland was inaugurated. of the Pr of Wheat Harrison If Dr. DaMaror the editor ess can, tihey may explain to the people what caused the price o decline from one dollar per bushel from the time President was inaugurated until he stepped down and out, four years after? The question when answered will settle all d life ten ces. Wheat iu 1888 wait bringing the farmer one big round dollar p^r bushel. Four years later it was bringing the onehalf of one dollar. Kxplain or stand corrected. Wheat is bringing fifty cents per bushel at the present time. What caused the decline of fifty cents in four years and a half? The same laws now exist as when Benny stepped down and out and the price of the wheat is the same as when Cleveland was inaugurated. An explanation is In order by the doctor. Deering Bros, have closed down their saw mill for an indefinite time.—Press. The Deering broilers will start up their saw mill next Monday, and run on fuii lime for the next three months -Jlews. The above items appealed iu the papers as above credited last week. Who is correct ?

Let the newspapers of Pike county now stop their fight. It seems their pugilistic ehulitions have inflamed the min of the people to such an extent that they are cutting and slashing each other with knives and razors murdering and attempting to murder, knocking down and dragging out. in fact reporting a first-class tragedy! almost every day. Now if the newspapers are to blame; if*they are the educators of the people and by theii -pleen and anger have produced this blood-thirsty spirit they should t>e held particeps crimiuis.— Lyuville Chronicle.

WITHOUT TOE BOW (RING) ; it is easy to steal or ring watches from the pocket The thief gets the watch in one hand, the chain in the other and gives a short, quick jerk—the ring slips off the watch stem, and away goes the watch, leaving the victim only the chain.

This idea stopped that little game: The bow hu a groove on each end. A collar runs down inside the pendant (stem) and fits into the grooves, firmly locking the y bow to the pendant, so that it cannot be 4 pulled or twisted off. "
