JTonr Friends, Where aud What they Are Doing at Present. prief News Items «rsphicsUy Portrayed-Send la Your Items. Patoka Pointers. Road working is in progress in these parts. The gay folks of the vicinity pass their .Saturday evenings upon Ayrshire's .new ‘dancing platform. It is almost miraculous how our merry maids make use of their feet The F. M. B. A. store at Arthur has again changed salesmen. John Couder is now at the helm, Rev. F. M. Wood resigning. John says the “biz” is new to him. But nevertheless John is a hustler and will make a competent clerk. The Ayrshire miners, together with the major portion of the mining fraternity? oi the country are continuing their strike." It is the opinion of the writer that it would be more profitable lor both operators and painers to discontinue fruitless controversy, resume their posts and proceed to business. We would like to see the laborers restored to liberal wages. But a half loaf is more serviceable than no loaf. A speedy return to work will give the greatest relief to the destitute. . • The democratic primary couveued at Winslow last Saturday and selected a ticket to be elected at the coming November contest. The nominees are hustlers, every one of them and will make it quite interesting for their republican aud populist adversaries. There is yet an opportunity for the success of democracy in township county aud state Move cautiously, advance earnestly and labor incessantly, democratic friends and reap productive results. Keep head erect and conscience clear, persevere and never fear. Barlow. A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N.|Y., says lhat he always keeps Dr. King’s New Discovery in his house and his family has always louud the very best results follow’ its use; that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman, Druggist, .Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King’s New Discovery is undoubtedly the best cough remedy, that he has used in his family for eight years,and It has never failed to do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a remedy so long tried and tested. Trial bottles tree at J. R. Adams & Sons’ drug store. Regular size 50 cents and $1.

Dr. Rhoades is on the sick list at this writing. The doctor is suffering from his old army disease. I see in last week's issue of The Democrat that Thomas J. Scales will be a candidate before the democratic primary tor sheriff of Pike county. Your correspondent will say that Mr. Scales well deserves (he place and will make a good and efficient officer and will no doubt receive the hearty support of all former old friends. Boys, do not get shared at the g. o. p for we have a good chance to win. We are just now undergoing a large dose of MeKinleyism and we must set rid of the last yestige of it before auotber winter is past. But do not say anything about republicau rule in Pike county for you know it is simply outrageoiis. The ring ticket should be deteated, and when that is done the people will know just what is going on. An economical administration of affairs and lower taxes is what the people want. We are now burdened with taxation, but what

It is a splendid opportunity for the inisiness men of Petersburg and all other towns of the county to advertise their business in. The pamphlet will contaiu about j forty pages.

While the editor of the Press is opening up its battery on the editor of this paper for being at Littles a; few weeks ago, it should remember that its force of writers has sent out very sensantional items to foreign papers about Sheriff Kinmau and his deputies going to Littles. The Press and its writers are doing Kinman up every day.

During the past week we thought there was a great change iu the editor of the News, and troni a local in that paper this week the reason was made plain. He accepted an invitation to take a square meal at Otweli last Friday cveniug. The boys say he is a good “feeder.*' ^ During the past week the editor has been on the “lift" aud any irregularities that may be found in this issue of The Democrat may be laid to that fact. Nevertheless the paper is out ou time and next week will be up to its usual high standard. The Democrat desires to return its thanks to the many friends during the last week who have liquidated their subscription account.

EMPHATIC LANGUAGE MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS SPEAK IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS. XNahonor and Shame Brought on • Great Party by the Benedict Arnolds Who Misrepresent It In the Senate—A Declaration Bor Free Trade. The Democratic association at Minnesota has issued an address which will be read with more interest than pleasure by certain senators in Washington. The authors of the address do not mince words. They say plainly that in less than two years after winning the most complete political victory ever won, and while yet in full possession of the powers given by the people, the Democratic party presents the appearance of a defeated party. And they say just as plainly that it has not been brought to this pass by its open enemies, the brawling protectionists whom it overthrew in 1892, but by 4 ‘malignant and treacherous influences, allied with weakness or cowardice within our own ranks. ” The weakness or cowardice showed itself in the Wilson committee, which reported a tariff bill not for revenue only, as promised by the party in 1892, but for less revenue and a very large measure of protection. This error “only whetted the appetite and fired the audacity of the protected interests, ’ * which proceeded to concentrate their efforts upon the senate. “To our shame and dismay they found senators, representing Democratic constituencies which had denounced protection and demanded its obliteration from our taxing policies, willing to aid them.” Alter reciting how these recreant senators, by browbeating in the secrecy of committee rooms and threats of open opposition, succeeded in expunging from the Wilson bill the most of its redeeming features, the Minnesota Democrats proceed to name the professed Democrats, “protectionists in fact, who have thus brought dishonor and shame on our great party.” Quoting the following from the president’s inaugural, “Even if insuperable obstacles and opposition prevent the consummation of our task, we shall hardly be excused, and if failure can be traced to our fault or neglect we may be sure the people will hold us to a swift and exacting responsibility, ” they ask: “Who are these men who have interposed ‘insuperable obstacles and opposition’ and made a failure due to our fault and neglect? These are the men—names fit to stand alongside of Benedict Arnold in the annals of our country: “Senator Calvin S. Brioe of Ohio. “David B. Hill and Edward Murphy, Jr., of New York. “John B. McPherson and James Smith, Jr., of New Jersey. “Arthur P. Gorman and Charles H. Gibson of Maryland. “Johnson M. Camden of West Vir

“Donelson Caff cry and Edward D. White of Louisiana. “ John J. Morgan and James L. Pugh of Alabama. “These are the men who wear the mask of Democrats that they may the better betray our cause. These are they who have wrought this marvelous change, putting our party in tho attitude of defeat and giving to our opponents that of victory. ” That is the plain truth, plainly spoken. And it is well that it should be spoken now. It is well that senators who seek to hide their protectionism and their hostility to commercial hnd industrial liberty behind a pretended dislike of an income tax or of ad valorem duties should be made to know that they are perfectly understood. Democratic conventions and Democratic organizations everywhere should speak as plainly as the Democrats of Minnesota have spoken. They should give the Hills and Gormans and Brices to understand distinctly that their place is in the protectionist party, and that the party of freedom has no more favors in store for them. They should give these senators to understand that the Democratic party has no use for men who are worth four times more as attorney»for the tariff barons while they are masquerading as Democrats than they would be in the party where they belong, and twice as much as any Republican when the Democratic party is nominally in power. It is time for the Democratic party to notify all such men emphatically that their services are no longer required.—Chicago Herald.

Protection Is Commercial Barbarism. Every nation must pass through commercial barbarism to commerchU civilization, from protection to free trade. The desire to get rich at the expense of others is well nigh universal. It is easy to persuade most people that to “protect” their own artisans from the competition of “foreign pauper labor” is an act of patriotism. This admitted, it is easily narrowed down to our own state, our own country, our own city, our own village or even our own street. In the last century the farmers of Middlesex, the bounty in which London is situated, petitioned parliament against improving the abominable roads of England. They frankly claimed that so long as the roads were bad they had a monopoly at the London markets for the sale of their vegetables, fruit and grain; that if the roads were improved the farmers of other counties would be able to bring their produce to the Londoi* markets, which would be very disastrous to the “industry” of Middlesex. This looks very fool ish on the face of it, and yet in principle it is the doctrine of American protectionists today. — M. M. Trumbull in “The Free Trade Struggle In England. ” limited Freedom. The idea of a free people having to wail for free commerce or free anything else that is morally lawful is preposterous. As long as the right of a people to buy and sell freely is withheld from them they are the slaves of some tyrant or the dupes of some heartless political trust.—Dallas News.

Mrs. Ed Gunckel, visited friends at Washtnuton this week. George D. Martin and Joe Kin man were at Rockport this week. There is but very little sickness in this locality at the present time. . Dr. DeTar and son George, of Winslow, were in the city Wednesday evening. Mrs. E. A. Ely and Miss Lida Marti 11 were at Evansville yesterday shopping. Logan Robling, the Winslow merchant, was iu the city Weduesday, on business. The farmers have beerr getting delayed in corn planting duriug the past week. A number of the Knights of Pythias of Winslow atteuded lodge iu this city last evening. Nearly all the deputy sheriffs have returned from Littles mines. The Press and its force of writers will please send messages to that effect, The township assessors are putting on the finishing touches on their work this week. After that the county assessor will take a turn at the books and make some necessary corrections. Gustoff Frank, Thomas Fleming E. A. Ely, E. P. Richardson, Scott Mitchell, Henry Ault, J. D. Hoilon and the editor of The Democrat attended the democratic congressional convention at Rockport yesterday. Chess seems to be the reigning game in Petersburg at the present tithe. This city affords some very clever auiatures, and in all probability Lasken or Shawalter will be challenged by the local club in a short time. Nothing has yet been heard of the missing Claude McAlpin, the B. & Q. caller at Washington, who tuysier- • iously disappeared some months ago. Efforts so far have been fruitless and several detectives have been employed on the case. The bean supper given by the old veterans of Gen. Lyons Post, Otwell, last Friday night was a grand success. A number of the boys from this city were preseut and they all report a splendid time and were roy- ! ally entertained. It is time to commence making arrangements to celebrate theglourious old fourth of July in Petersburg. Why not hold an old fashioned basket picinic. with plenty of ye olden time music and speaking. Speak up and let’s celebrate. Some of the boys about town are of the opinion that the narrow gauge ! 'rack laid in the court house yard for the purpose of “trucking" stone, should be put down on Mam street and a street ear line put iu operation. A good idea. Lei’s have a street railway and put on city airs. - , The weather prophets, bad as they are not half as bad as the weather we ] are now having at the present time. During the past ten days it has been hot and cold varying during that time about thirty-five degrees. It has rained, drizzled and at the point of snowing on several occasions, “General" Coxey, the common wealer, is in jail in Washington City serving out a sentence of twenty dav. His next best friend “Colonel” . ’Browne is keeping him company. Coxey is about to made the race for , congress in McKinley’s district taking a nomination at the hands of bis dis- ; s&'Lficd republican triends. Of the men now nominated for the republican nomination for congress in this district two more have been mentioned besides those who wenecondidates before the Evansville convention. They are John Corbin, < of New Harmony, and Good let Mor- j g^n, of this city. The fight will be between Posey and Hemenway, with chance of a “dark horse.” >
