Pike county’s debt is now nearly #G0,000. In about forty years, if nothing happens, the comity will be out of debt. Pike county has sold her bonds. When will the corporation of Petersburg sell hers? This bond selling business is getting monotonous to the tax payers ot the city and county. The Oakland Oily Record, which has been conducted by Joe Armstrong lor the past four years, has suspended publication'for a lack of support. Iu other words two papers was more than Joe could handle at one time successfully.

„ Tu® senate tariff bill is likely to pass this week. It will go direct to the house and with a few minor changes be reported back at ouce. On the tariff question there is not much of a difference in the house and the work will be finished up in short order. The democratic members remember the pledges made to the people and will stick to them. “Though called the McKinley act,’’ *ays the Philadelphia Record, “the tariff is a Maine measure and bears the impress of ex-speaker Reed’s domination stamped on every schedule.” And ilarrison signed it with -expressions of marked approval. So there you are. All three of the leading republican candidates for president killed off by one little bill. Parson Cha^e, the ex-governor of Indiana refuses to testify in the bank -cases at Frankfort. It will be remembered that the parson is under indictment for the wrecking of the bauk at Greentown of the Zimri Dwiggins series. Banker Paris is now on trial. This is a pretty mess for the ex-governor of Indiana to be in. _____ Sam Carnot, president of the French republic, was assassinated at Lyons, last Sunday evening, by a young Italian named Cesare Santo The president had just entered his carriage after having attended a public reception tendered him, when the villian rushed up to his carriage and stabbed him to death with a dirk. The country is lull of cranks and it is unsafe for any public man to be upon the streets of any eity. Justice should be speedily meted out to this class of people.

Protection is necessarily bribery. ^Nobody ever attempted to formulate Ait equitable system for impsoing ■tariff duties. The question is always bow much the protection interest can get in the scramble. Protection is essentially a mercenary transaction all through. It was necessary when sovereigns could grant trade monopolies to favored subjects and the royal hand was held out tor either payment iu advance or part of the swag. There has been no changes exeept^as compelled by change in forms of government. What means the small knots of « republicans, mostly candidates and prospective candidates two years hence, standing around in secluded places with beads jammed together? The question is easily answered. There.is trouble in the camp of the ring. The voters are getting tired of the selling out ot nominations to tthe highest bidder, hence these small gatherings. All is not smooth sailing as the waters are troubled and there promises to lie an upheaval at almost any lime. To those on the inside of the works it looks very dart at the present time and unless the disturbances can be setth*<l there is liable to be a lew take a very severe back-set and that at no very distant day. Sometimes you can jump on a man when he is down, but when standing on both feet, never. He won't be rode, and don't you forget it A* y°u aleug.

Dr. William j! Beth ell, of Winslow, was in the city last Monday. The doctdr is after the republican nomination of senator for Knox and Pike counties. While he was in the city there was considerable pow-wowing among the faithful few candidates in order to straighten out some diflerences that have come up during the past few weeks. Whether the work was accomplished or not is not known. The democratic tla\ for the selection of a county ticket will be sometime the latter part of August or early in September. Our republican friends, and especially some of the candidates, arc on the anxious 6eat as to just who the demecrats will nominate. Don’t fret the democrats will put forth the strongest ticket ever nominated and make some qf the boys think of pulling off., as the talk has bceu. Them will be plenty of time. Wagons can’t run without wheels, cows can’t drink without mouths, frogs can’t hop without legs, nor newspapers carried on everlastingly without money uo more than a dog can wag its tail when it is cut off. Our subscribers are all good, but what good does a mail’s good do when it doesn't do any good? He has no doubt that every one else has paid, and as we are clever fellows and, his is a small, it will make no difference. And just now is when we are greatly in need of money. And all who can, will confer a great favor by calling and giviug us a jiltle financial aid.

Lion. Arthur U. Taylor, our represenative in congress and the soldiers friend called Hon. Iloke Smith’s attention to the application tor an increase by Win. H. Boone of Tennyson. The result was Mr. Boone received an increase. He was draWing a pension of $2.00 a month, he now gets $12.00 a month. Hurrah for Hoke Smith and Arthur 11. Taylor. H<>ke Smith heard from again. This time it is a increase for Washington Westfall, of New burg, and Joseph Jackson, of Chandler. We have not heat'd the amounts, but each get an increase. Old Hoke seems tb move right on, doing good.—Boonville Enquirer. The miners of Pike county have all gone to work. The ihittes at Ayrshire have been operating for two weeks, while those at Littles commenced Monday morning. The Littler mine is* run on the ton plan, the men receiving 60 cents per ton for screened coal. The old method of work having been discontinued. The scale price throughout this section has been reduced materially by the strike. In September the old price will be paid which is 70 cents for screened eoal. It is to be hoped that all will now run along smoothly and that no trouble may occur between the operators aud min<$s, although miner’s wages are-extremely low, when the great danger to life and body are takeu into, considera tion

The New York World sees in Col A. L. Conner’s plain talk evidence that the republicans are aware tha* it will be folly to fight the battle of 1896 on the issue of a revival of McKinleyism. The Lodge-Reed silver diversion is an attempt to find a substitute. Other attempts will be made by shrewder men than either Lodge or Reed before the convention meets. If uo other issue is found and the republicans go to the country with a demand that they be allowed to reenact the McKinley bill, they will l>e beaten In 1896 as badly as in 1890 and 1892. Democratic blundering may produce a temporary set-back, but McKinloyism is doomed. Against it are arrayed the settled conviction of a majority of the American people, the earnest craving of business interests for a period of repose, and all the invisible but potent forces that make tor the progress of mankind. Among the many characteristics of the republican party $that are not commendable, are egotism ana selfrighteouness. Mary members of that party seem to think and boldly assert that about all the virtue there is in this couutry is found iu the republican party. You may often even in Pike county 6ee a* republican bloated and pickled with whiskey, condemn the democratic party as a whiskey party. Such a spectacle to say the least is decidedly amusing. It reminds one that humanity is still fallible and sometimes inconsistent. Besides this, one of the daily advocations of the average republican is the abuse of prohibitionistsaud populists for advocating the doctriues that they believe and voting as ttieir conscience diiecfs them. Who ever heard of a democrat expressing sentiments of hatred towards the members of some other political organization for advo

■--— — 1111 ;——— eating doctrines that to them are t»>e truth? if there is auch a democrat we are free to say that he is unworthy of membership in the party, the practical Indict of the democratic par»y is that every man is entitled to vote his sentiment*. We are free to say that we honor any man be he prohibitionists or populist, but never open to abuse any man for having sentiments aitd daring to maintain them. We may think our brother wrong and may labor to convert him, but no sentiment shall ever drop from our pen denying his right under the constitution and the law, or under the moral code to vote the way he sees the right. ■.. ..<a mu. Ill i THE PRICE OF WHEA T. The continued decline iu the price of wheat is a fact of remarkable interest and importance, and the experts are by no means agreed as to the governing cause in the case. Various explanatory theories are presented—some deeply philosophical, others fatiguingly statistical and still others that have reference to different features of the general of market fluctuations; hut the simple truth, after all seems to be that the cost of production has been gradually diminished, and the aggregate product at the same time uradually increased, by other wheat growing countries than burs. In oilier words, where we were once able practically to regulate the price by reason of controlling what the rest of the world was obliged to have, we are now confronted by competitors with facilities for supplying all that is wanted, and making a profit by underselling us. This process of depriving us of our former advantage has been going on for many years, and has reached a point that makes wheat raising in this country a very precarious business, with the chances ordinarily in favor of losing returns. As ai matter of fact; “tli»llar wheat went out as long ago ai; 18S4, and has not since been knowi> except by speculative spurts and under special conditions. The average price for five successive years lias been $7 cents; and it has steadi-_ ly fallen frdm then until now, yeai

oy year. When we consider the amount of wheat that is being produced by Russia, India and Argentine Republic in addition to what was raised ten years ago, it is hardly reasonable ip suppose that the price will ever again reach the dollar mark with us. or even the average of the period from 1884 to 1894. There will be times when the failure ot the crop in some countries, or a sudden large increase in the demand, will temporarily raise the figure; but, as a general rule, there is not likely to be a return t<> the higher rates that have previously prevailed. The European consumers are not dependent upon us as they used to be, and they will uot buy from us unless we are willing to accept i the prices at which our competitors « stand ready to furnish all that is re- 1 quired. We cannot materially re- ] duce the cost of production, and the , low wages of labor in other wheat- i raising countries place us at a disad- ' vantage which we cannot overcome. The situation is not an agreeable one, but it is plain aud significant, and ^ and there is nothing to be gained by ( trying to deceive ourselves about it. , We have our own markets to supply, i with hopeot reasonable profit to the 1 producer it the product is kept with- 1 iu proper bounds; but our sales j abroad will probably grow smaller , instead of larger, and the price will j remain comparatively low as the I logical result of existing conditions. - —Globe Democrat (Rep.)

As to Vaccination. Is vaccation a dangerous practice? Can it be possible to safely introduce into the human system the unhealthy virus produced by a a disease in the bovine species ? There is a wide diversity of opinion concerning this subject among physicians and specialists each side of the contention having its advocates. There is. however, one view of the matter which is in direct variance %vith all ideas of a republican form of government and that is compulsory vaccination. It can be readily understood that time of great public danger from infectious diseases every precaution has been taken to prevent their spread; unusual measures have to be adopted to insure safety ; that careless and uncleanly persons have to be compelled to do certain things in order to protect the remainder of the community ; but vaccination as a practice is not a very generally admitted prevenative against the contraction of the contagion. Until some unquestioned* antidote Is discovered compulsory vaccination is an outrage that savors of the absolute mouarchjal form of government. It has been said that vaccination is the most stupendous fraud, humbug and subterfuge the world has ever seen. That the practice was born of tradition, fostered by superstition, nurtured by legislative enactment, and serves as a cloak behind which certain physicians acknowledge their inability to cope with small pox. Under these remarkable circumstances compulsory education is a tv radical piece of work, which the safety of the school children demands should b» abolished—which the safety of the community demands must cease.
