V-iigAX Sept. 15, 1801. m&r4i % 4>,@4|Z We are of the opinion that a joint debate between the legislative candidates in Pike county would be the proper idea. Let the candidates present their views on State issues to the people. Owens, candidate.ou the republican state ticket for secretary of state, is seeking to br'eak oft' the joint debate between himself and William R. Myers, the democratic nominee for fhe same position. It is a splendid pine to play off sick. .. Every nominee on the democratic jticket is capable of filling the office for which he has beeu nominated without having to hire a deputy to db pjs work. They are competent to Wfite out and present any papers in their proper and legal shape. Not a pian on the ticket who is incapable. In the congressional fight in the Ashlaud, Ky., district, Col. Breckinridge, the silve-tongued orator, was defeated by Colonel Owens last SatrfUrday by a small plurality. The fight ^yvas a most bitter one between the candidates and much bad feeling existed between the factious. Willie, of Pollard fame, will now retire to private life. The democratic party of Indiana gave Jp the people such laws as the tax law, school book law, the AustraJian ballot law, and others equally as good. It gave the laborer the mephanics lien tyw. It gave to the minprs the only good laws on the statute hpoks today. More than that the Jaws-most needed by the people were passed by democrats in the legislature, What bills have the republics famplated and. are now laws? %

The republican party in Indiana is owned sole and body by the corporations doing business in the State. The democratic legislatures for the past several years have enacted laws that are not relished by these corporations and their lawyers aud advisors, j hence they have taken the held against the democratic party and will do all in their power to carry and I control the next legislature and undo the laws now iu force. For instance take Indiana’s new tax law, now in force, and which has made all corporations conic up to the scratch and pay their just share of taxation just the same as the farmers of Pike couutv. They arc kicking aud want to control the next election and carry enough legislative districts to defeat and repeal a ju.-t and equitable tax law. The voters of Pike county know what the new tax law is aud will vote for men to represent them in the next legislature who will be able to stand up iu the halls and defend them. They do not care to and will not send men there simply to draw their' salaries on pay days. In IIou. Wt A. Cullop for senator, and lion. D. Q. Chanpell for representative, the democrats preseut men who have the faculty of knowing when, to act and when to raise their voice iu defense of thpir constituents. They are able dehators and will ably represent their constituency. The board of commissioners at their last session did not make any move toward building a sewer for the new jail or sheriff's residence, leaving the matter open until after the next election. A great many people believe that It was done in order to give some of the republican candidates a chance for election. As before stated in this paper the setver will cost between $2,500 and $3,000, with a possibility of it reaching $3,000. The Press took the democratic mass convention to task for 6aying that the jail would cost the tax-payers of Pike county $50,000. The Democrat is still willing to defend the action pt that mass convention. There is no question in the minds of the tax-pavers but what it will cost that sum when it is paid for and all bonds redeemed. The Democrat still insists that no extras must be made in the lnijlding to add cost to the tax-payers. The building was let for $25,500 and should be completed for that amount. From all parts of the county comes words pi praise of the democratic ticket recently nominated. The nominees of that ticket are capable aud honest and will administer to the interest of tax-payers just the same as if it were their own private affairs. They are not men picked up because they are° political heelers or have to be taken care of by giving them office. If they are defeated they are capable of going back to the plow or office and making a living. They know what it is to work, being engaged in the every day work of life wheu called on by the People as their choice to take care of the affairs of county. They are just such meii as are needed to look after and straighten out the affairs that have existed for several years in Pike county.

The democratic party of Pike countv stands pledged to cut down the expenditures ot Pike county and reduce taxation if placed in position to dd so at the comiug November election. Voters of Pike county what do you think of a change of administration? At the November election you will be called upon to settle this all important question. Extravagance has been on every hand during the past three or four years, and it is now time to call a halt. Voters, irrespective of party, should look more to their interests in couuty affairs and seek to correct the evils that exist. There is entirely too much extra work given out at large figures, and which could be done for one-third the amount. Check the system before it is too late. Hon. Wm. A. CuLLOPot Vincennes, member of the last House ot representatives, was nominated for State Senator by his party last week. He was one of the most able members of the last House and wgs ever alert to the interests of the people of the state and his district. Mr. Cullop was called “Windy Bill” by reason of his having had the floor ottener than any other member of that body.—Mt. Vernon Star. If times are so hard and the democratic party has made them so in Pike county why is it that the republican party in Pike county does not lighten the burden of the tax-payers and give them some relief ? The taxes of the county have not been reduced, but the expenditures are on the increase and before mauv years Pike county will be suffering with an empt.^ treasury. —

THE DE VIL FEB (IKING SIN. McKinley denouncing the new tariff as “the work of a monstrous trust” is an interesting spectacle. If the new law is the work of a monstrous trust, what was the McKinley law ? It is notorious that when McKinley and his committee were constructing their bill they invited the various “interests” to submit schedules, to suit themselves, then made these*schedules more favorable to the “interests” and enacted them into law. Most of the “interests” had previously taken on the form of trusts and Ftke combinations, against which were directed the thunders of the Sherman anti-trust law. The McKinley law, therefore, was uot the work of a monstrous trust, but of a score of monstrous trusts. And it gave these trusts more than even their own representatives had the impudence to demand. It is the sugar trust to which McKinley refers, of course as the “monstrous trust” which made the new law. And nothing but the sugar schedule and a few items /Of refining materials are the work of that trust. Nobody pretends that any other part ot the law is its work, because the trust has no special in anything else. Now, how did the trust cotne to be “monstrous?” Its officers the two Uavemyers and {Searles, told how iu their testimony before the senate Investigating committee. Mr. Searles told how when he testified that the Mckinley schedule was worth twice as much /to the trust as the senate schedule. H. O. Havernyer told how when he admitted that the trust had made between $30,000,000 and $35,000,000 out of the McKinley law iu three years. It was the McKinley law and its predecessor, the republican tariff of 1883, that made the trust “monstrous” and supplied it with the means for influencing legislation.How was this “monstrous trust” able to dictate at all to a democratic congress? It could not dictate to a democratic house, which made sugar absolutely free, with no favor either to the trust or to the cane and beet growers, both when it passed the Wilson bill in the first instance and when it passed- the supplementary sugar bill. Il could dictate only to the senate, and it could, dictate to the senate only because tbe republicans of that body supported the trust with unbroken ranks from first (blast. If there had been so much as one righteous republican, tbe separate sugar bill, presenting the question on its naked merits, would have beer passed. But as in Soden and Gomorrah not one righteous man was found, so not one was found on tbe republican side of the senate chamber. That is why the «mgar schedule was the work of a “monstrous trust.” To a certain extent it was. But as a matter of fact, and as the Havemeyers and Searles admit, it was less satisfactory work to them than was that of the McKinley law. As Mr. MacVeagh has pointed out, the new luw has reduced the trust’s protection at least one-third, iu spite of the united opposition of the republicans, assisted by a few renegade democrats in tbe senate. The republicans have giyen the trust all the protection it has left. They did all they could to preset ve for it the entire 50 cents per 100 pounds given it by their own McKinley law, instead of the 32% cents which they have succeeded in retaining. Yet McKinley denounces the new law because the sugar schedule “is tho work of a monstrous trust.” The devil rebukes sin! The land pirate who has stole millions i6 loremost in the merciless pursuit of the starving wretch who has stole a loaf of bread!

The record books in some of the county offices are being transcribed into new books bought for the purpose. It is costing the tax-payers of Pik6 couuty an enormous sum to have this work done, but it amounts to nothing as everything is republican. It is only a question of time when the surplus in the treasury will give out, and “not paid for the want of funds” will be written on the backs of couuty orders. “Economy and retrenchment is needed in couuty affairs. The democrats of Washington township will hold a convention September 28th for the purpose ot nominating candidates for township officers. The republican party has already placed their ticket in the field headed by Erastus Johnson, for trustee. Mi’- Johnson is the trustee of the town of Petersburg and has been for several years. The democrats should place a first-class man in the field for the office; one who wiM administer the affairs, if elected, economically and for the best interests of the tax-payers, regardless of party.
