The opera house question is again being revived, but will it be just revive<^ aud fall through with, or will it be a sure go. Do something or quit talking. Factories is what Petersburg needs and wants them badlv. It would be a good time for the next few months to agitate the question. A boom for this city would be a good thing. The next congressional delegation from jtbis statue, and they are all republicans, will be made up of eleven lawyers, one physlciau aud one banker. The lawyers have the best of it. Nearly every republican representative to the legislature is alter the honor of beiug speaker of the house, ft is time now for the honored gentleman from Clay to put forth his plaims for the honor. Wednesday deputy Sheriff George West went to Vincennes ip canvass the vote for this senatorial district with Sheriff Buckles, of Knox county. Dr. W. J. Bethell’s majority over W. A. Cullop is 250.

The dear, dear people voted at the Jast election for higher prices on sugar, and the trusts are going to give it to them, and also to all the rest of mankind. They are looking forward to the sugar bouuty promised them. By the time the people experience two years of trust-combine rule, they I will regret that they did not give the Democracy two more years to get the country back jupon a prosperous oasis. “Haste makes waste” Is an old saying, and their hasty action in removing the Democracy from power will prove no exception to the rnle. The Evansville district meeting of the W. M. F. 2>. ,was in session Wednesday and Thursday ot this week at the M. E. church. A large ptfmber of ladies from other cities Were in attendance. The program as published in The Democrat was fnlvjy carried out. Last evening there ^ras a very large audience present. i|'hey were very highly entertained |v address by M»ss Maggie Ridley.

£<»AE MIME MEM ». ' The CMnnl Am«h| Miner* Mmjr Lead in Another Big Strike. A Terre Haute dispatch says: There are reports from Columbus and Pittsburg of a threatened strike of coal miners in the territory governed bv the Columbus agreement of June 12, which brought the big strike toLan end. The ^ake and river shipments are nearly over for the year and the operators iin the Pittsburg district are driven to unusual moans to dispose of their product. Two of the largest of these .operators have reduced wages and the others have notified the miners that unless these two could be forced to pay the scale those who are doing so would give notice of a reduction. President McBride has replied that the miners* officials do not consider that the situation warrants any such action. In the agreement referred to, which fixes the scale of wages'iu Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and the Pittsburg district of'-Pennsylvauia, there Is this proviso: “Provided, Thgt the above named scale of pitces for the Pittsburg district shall be generally recognized and observed. It is further provided that operators and miners shall cooperate in their efforts to secure a general observance of said prices named for said district, and if, during 4he period covered by this agreement, a general recognition of the prices herein named for said district cannot be secured, either party to this agreement may call a meeting of the joint boat'd of arbitration to meet at such

time* and place as those having authority may select, and said ioint board, when so-called, shall meet and determine, if able, whether the agreement has i»een sufficiently respected and complied with to warrant its continuance to the date named herein ; if the board is unable to agree the members thereof shall select a disinterested man whose decision shall be final. If it shall be found and decided by process above provided that it is being substantially respected, it shall remaiu in force and bind both parties thereto for the period stipulated herein, and if found and decided by some process not to "be so generally observed as to warrant its continuance, it shall be abrogated and both parties thereto absolved from contract obligations hereiu setj-fortfi.” Itb is the opinion of the Indiana operators that before the situation becomes more serious the joint board of arbitration be called into existence and the controversy brought to a speedy termination. The membership of the joint board has not been made up because, up to this time, there has been no occasion for action by the board. Operators and miners alike iu this state are desirious that nothing shall occur to interrupt what small degree there is of activity in the mining business. Above all, they feel that the Pittsburg and Ohio operators should not violate the agreement by notice of a reduction when the arbitration method is provided. It there is a breaking down of the agreement anywhere there will be trouble everywhere. Bills In Preparation. A committee is at work on two bills that will be among the first presented wheu the legislature meets, remarks the Indianapolis News. One is to cut down the powers of the present county commissioners, and in counties the size of Marion, to place some of the functions of the board in control ot the city. The plan is to enact & law under which the commissioners can pot have the power to spend so much mouey without a check upon them, and the matter of bridges will also receive some attention.

The other bill is in relation to the School Boat'd. The board will be uuder the jurisdiction of the city, and the mayor will be responsible for its acts. The school commissioners will not he elected, bul will be aP* pointed by fhe mayor. The question of a salary tor the justice of the peape will be considered. This will, it is thoaght, do away with the grabbing for fees that has been going on in |his city for many years. The office is a constitutional one and cannot be abolished. An effort will be made to abolish the office of coroner, which is considered by mapy tp be a useless and expensive office. This will require a ' constitutional amendment, as the office cannot, of course, be abolished without the action of the people. The following pensions have been granted in this section of the State during the past week, and include original, restoration, Increase and widows and orphans: * William Thomas, Taylorsville. John Ferguson. Boonville. K. E. Wilson, Oannelton. N. W. Needham, Vincennes. Matilda E. Pennington, V incennes. James Blackwell, Bedford. Jane Worley, Vincennes. Mima 8. Munford, Princeton.

itomoeracy Still Um» The election of 1894 has passed into history, and once again the principles of democracy have suffered a partial defeat, but notwithstanding,they still live—-and will live on forever. Defeat may stifle them for a short time, but it cannot destroy them nor dishearten their determined followers. Party prejudice may stay tor awhile the right principles of democracy, but it can nqver stop them, for it would be easier, ay«, a far easier task, to dam the rushing waters of Niagara with grains of sand, than to stop the progress of right when backed by the masses. If it be the will of the peo-ple-then so let it be. For it is dedicated by our constitution to the American people that the majority shall rule. But the present defeat comes not from the choice of the people as an entire body, but it conies from au overconfidence of the democratic party in the work that it has done; from the power exercised by the trusts and oorporatious that thirty years of republicau legislation has cursed our land with from east to west, from north to south; and lastly, but not least, from the division of the forces of the democratic party itself. For the old axiom taught us by our fathers is yet true, that a house divided agaiust itself can not stand, hut must inevitably faH. I should like to look at one republican populist who has remained a populist through the campaign. But every democratic member of that party stood by his word and voted as he had taught us to believe.

Nor is this all. Democrats have thought to avenge the party for some fancied cause ol aggrievauce. But when the hour of battle has passed and the dust and smoke of the conflict has lifted, and they have time tp consider their action, they will only find that they have brought revenge upon themselves and pot upon the party. I.*' in our own state they have voted that the property of the corporations should remain untaxed, then let it bo that our present Tax Law lie speedily repealed, that their wishes may be obtained. Ctfu it be that our citizens, possessed of the intelligence which they.are, or should be, have voted blindly ? Or cau it be that they mean to say to them (the corporations) that we, the people who toil, are willing to bear all expenses of government and allow them to go free? And along with this ‘‘deteal of democracy” many notable men have been called down from their position of representatives of the people. And among them is our own Taylor. But though the people-—if we consider it their wish—have decided that he must retire, the monument he has reared to his name will never crumble; it will stand all winds a yd waves that may beat against it iu the fury of the tempest; and his defeat will go down in history as the reward ot the American people for hottest, noble, able and impartial representation, and faithful adherence to the causeof*the people! Harken, ye who would merit a continuance of office at the hands of the American people! It is won by a devotion to the help of a few at the expense of the many. But this defeat is only temporary and democracy will awaken speedily from the stupor into which she may fall by the blow, and begin at ouce her campaign ot ’96. Like the ^rave and valiant Custer— Hod bless his memory, democratic too —wbo when struck to the ground by an Indian warrior, although wounded in many places, rises partly up again and deals death to his foes, so shall democracy receive fresh courage from this defeat and striking ont more boldly win the laureis of future engagements. Democracy kuows uo discouragement, no faltering; our leaders yet live and victory will be ours, though traitors and pretended friends floe in the heat of the battle I Democratic soldiers, ye who are true to your pledges, arise and begin anew" the conflict with renewed energy, and train your hosts for the campaign of 1896. Bally to our standard now!! Truth.

Farmer’s Institute. The Pike County Farmer’s Insti* tute will be held at the court house in Petersburg, on Monday and Tuesday, December 17 and 18. Messrs. W. B. Stevens, of Washington county, and Robert Mitchell, ot Gibson county, two well-known and successful in* 8titute workers of Indiana will be with us this year. Each will be present both days. I hope that every farmer in Pike county will feel that the success of this institute will depend upon his efforts and of his presence at least. I shall be glad to have the hearty co-operation of the farm managers of this county.,, Let everyone come prepared to take part. The ladies are especially invited. M. L. Heathmax, Ohairmau.

He has used it in his family for several years with the beet results and always keeps a bottle of it in the house After having la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe cough. He used other remedies without benefit and then concluded to try the children’s medicine and to his delight it soon effected a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by J. R.

The Laboring Man Speaks. Monon, Iks:, May 10,1894. Lyon Medicine Co.t Indianapolis» ImL: Gbkts—I think it my duty to send this statement to you of the benefit I have received from LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I have been afflicted for twenty years with stomach trouble of the severest nature. Would have seasons of the severest suffering from one to two months at a time; . Between these times of suffering was never longer than three months. There was never any time that I was entirely free from misery more or less. These spells of great suffering would sometimes come on with sickness and vomiting, and other times would come on in form of rheumatism, but would finally center itself in my stomach. I have doctored with a great many physicians, but none of them could tell me what the trouble was. I was unable to get relief until I got LYON S SEVEN WONDERS. It is now sixty days since I began taking this medicine, ana am now for the first time in twenty years free from pain and misery. I am compelled to say it is a blessing to a poor man. J. J. Hacjlett, Blacksmith.
