Em ored at the potttoflH* In Petersburg for xr'ai.smwiion through the malls as sceoodm matter. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1895. There i« still another congressional appointment bill presented to the legislature that places Knox, Gibson, Fike, Posey, Vanderburg, Warrick and Spencer in the first district, and there ate several more to follow. Suniley Ni Chambers, the U. S. District Attorney for Indiana under President Harrison, has told the legislative committee on apportionment in very plain words that any attempt Oil the part of the legislature to change the present apportionment would be unconstitutional, aud Smiley eviden tally talks by authority. The soldiers home should be located in southern Indiana. « Already has there been one home located in Northern Indiana and it would lie no more than just and right that the other should be located in thissectiou. But it is doomed to its fate and will be located at Lafayette unless the bill is practically killed in the committee rooms of the legislature. , Under the bill which passed the lower housbof the Iudiana legislature last week the salaries of the forty-six house employes amount to $205 a day $1,435 a week, or $12,505 for the session—one twelfth of the total amount appropriated for the expense of the general assembly. There are suggestions that the number of door-keep-ers could haye been reduced one-half, and ^hat the pay for their seryices should have been reduced to $3.00 a dav. The Indiana legislature has been in session twenty-two days, and if there has been anything done to relieve the people will some of our enterprising and learned republican journalists please point them , out. Yliree bills have become laws, one of #fcich was to appropriate $105,toy the present session of that jpody. What a great reform body. jF'ridayabd Saturday last there were not enough members present to make & quorum. The republicans have for years beeu howling for a fair gcrrjj^naoder of the state for congressional aud legislative purposes. They are now about to 6how themselves up in a worse light *han any party ever did in Indiana. If the Wishard apportionment bill passes the democrats at the election iu 1896 will probably be able t<> elect three members to the upper branch of the legislatu re. That is what they claim a fair gerrymander. All right. Pike county now has a representative, but after that bill passes she will have none.. Thai’s fair too.

The majority of the counties in this jBtate elected majorities of trustees iu Jhe last general election, aud the legjslatnre has actually found it out. Some republican editors have wanted a change made iu the laws so as to elect the county superinteudeut by a popular vote. Now, this legislature proposes to make a change, but how pntortunate for the man with the popular idea! The change, if any Is made will just be to change the time of ejection of Hie superintendent from jJuUe'to September, the present trusJee ifoing out iu August, giving the next superintendents to the republican trustees.

Our Sentiments, Exactly. * Wo sincerely believe more men will go to hell for the way they treat their horses than any other thin/. We see the^joor faithful animal abused in a thousand different way*. We have often thought when we saw a poor horse starved, whipped and tied out in the ctdd, while his paster Bat by a fire and ate a good dinner, that the wrong animal was in the harness; it should have been the two-legged brute instead of the horse. We think the “gold rule” should* apply , to our animals the satne#s to our neighbor. We think it rather tough to work all our lives for our board, and that is all the poor horse gets. And gome times that i:* very poor and no bed at all.--Washington Democrat. - i Letting Bridge Contract*. Senator Wishard’s bill requires county commissioners to let contracts for the construction of bridges as they let other contracts. The bill requires that the commissioner'* must have made an estimate, describing the work to be done. If it amounts to more than $500, plans and specifications must be prepared, and advertisements for proposals must be made. The bids shall be received lor the work not less than three days after the publication. The lowest and best bid is to be accepted, if it is not more than the estimate previously furnished to the commissioners. All proposals must be publicly read. A bond is required from each contractor. - In Memorials. Comrade Daniel Ritchey Co. E. 28th U. S. Colored troops, a m«*ml»er of Morgan Post No. 15, G. A. R. was born in Knox county in 1844 and dic'd at Petersburg, January 23 1895. He was buried at Walnut Hills cemetery by Morgan Post No. 15 with all the honors due a Union soldier. As a Post we extend to the family of oor departed comrade our heartfelt sympathy in this the dav of their distress, with the. assurance that our comrade shall not be fotgotten, His memory shall he honored. One by one the boys are going, soou the last one will be gone.Amay we meet and live forever in the eternal home. Committee.

Word has been received here jby an old river man to the effect that she went down without a cargo, with the exception of the boat outfit, furniture and fixtures. An attempt was made to raise her, but the hull collapsed before she could be brought to the surface.—Yincennes Bun. Sons of Veterans. Why can't we organize a district S. ofV. association? I would suggest that the sous of veteraus of Knox, Dayiess, Gibson, Pike and Dubois counties organize themselves into air association. I hope the county papers of each of these counties will advocate this movement. I suggest Petersburg Pike county as the place for arranging the organization and April 29th and 30th lor the t ime of the meeting. Sherman Harvey, Monroe City, Ind.

.Ureal Opportunity to flak* JUaey. I have had such splendid success that I cuo't help but write to vou about it. I have not made less |!5, and some dars from $15 to $25. il am really elated, and can’t see whir others do not go into the dish washer business at once. I have not canvassed any; sell all my washersat home. They give such good satisfaction that everyone sold, helps to sell many others. I believe in a year I can make a jyoftt of $3,000, and attend to my regular business besides. When a Climax dish washer can be bought IFor $5, every family wants one, and if: ia very easy selling what everybody wants to buy. j For particulars, address The Climax Mfg. Co., Columbus, Ohio. I think any lady or gentleman, auvwhere,, can make from $5 to $10 a day. 1 ! would like to have your readers try this business, and let us ktn»w through your columns how they succeeded,

Am Old Pike Coon ly Boy. Minden, Neb., Jan. 21.1895. En. Democrat— Doubt less a lew lines from tlii«* pari ofNebraska would be of some interest to the readers of vour paper. This county was badly burned last summer, by the hot winds from the south, leaving but Utile in the way of vegitatiou. No corn was raised in this county except in the Platte valley, and bijt very little wheal, oats or barley. Some hay but of poor quality, and but tor the hogs and old eorti and w*heat our people would “have suffered as well as those who live iu counties west ot us. All the hav and corn that is now being used and that that will be used until another crop is raised is being shipped here from Missouri and Kansas. There was . .considerable fodder made of the corn but it is of poor qualbv. and stopk do not thrive or even hold their own on it. There are a great many farmers who have no seed, nor- feed to raise anotiter crop, and unless our legislature does something to assist them (which I believe they will) there will be many a farm that will grow up in w'eeds this rear should we have rain enough to grow weed*. This couuty is not placed on the list of those that will need.state aid. State aid or no state aid there are.inanv that will need aid. In reading over the items of your Algiers correspondent this morning, I noticed the mention the good that the fraternity organizations in that community were doing. There is much good to be bad from such sources, and were it not for the fraternal beneficiary ami chinch organizations the suffering here would he far greater than wrhat it js. Relief comes very nittch quicker, and is bestowed most generally on those who need it most than it is when coming from the state, not that 1 want to criticize any of our state or public officials, but we all know there is more or less political favor shown in such cases, one parly being equally as guilty as the other-. With all ot these lamentations we are blessed with one ot the juildesi winters we have ever experienced since we came to this state. The coldest we have had was about the 27m of December when the thermometer registered 12 degrees below zero, then only for one day. The average temperature has been about 60 the past week. There lias beeu some rlftu and a tew light snows, and several days of foggy mist. There is no business here except with tho.-e who handle corn and hay. Our merchants are doing nothing. Banks are loaning no money— everything at a standstill. We believe now would be a good time for those who waul to invest in western real estate to invest. Good crops have been reused here anti we believe they will grow here again And had we the money We should invest in Kerney county real estate. We have a rich soil aud w ith rainorby irrigation good crops can he produced. Should any of my old Hoosferfriends think ot going west or south it will pav vou to visit this state, see it at its worst and look at the improwd farms aud substantial buildings/ in the towns, aud you cau see that this

stagnation of business is only temporary. We are pleased with this country and have faith In its future Now Mr. Editor, I wish*to say The Democrat is a welcome visitor in our humble home every Suudav moruing; gives much information relative to those who were our schoolmates and acquaintances that we would uot get otherwise. No doubt you will be highly pleased should the proposed apportionment becomes a law, giving you one-third of a representative as shown by the Chicago Record. ? Very Respectfully. M. W. Chappell.
