Congress closes on tne 4th of March, one week from Monday. _Tre Indiana senate will strangle the Nicholson bill. The leaders of tpe party has said the word. Senator Bethell has introduced three bills into the senate. Not one of which has become a law up to this .time. The republican legislature has but 4wo weeks more of its session left. .Only five l^tys have been enacted. They were published in The Demo,crat several weeks ago, The fight is now on in republican .circles for the presidental nomination, garrison, Reed, McKinley, Foraker, Sherman, Morton, and a host of others *re entering the race. It will be a $terry Ume. The violators of the laws must be punished. Society demands it and /^e good and loyal citizens should jook to the enforcement of the laws. £Tp<}u the statute books are laws fitted to any acts within the calendar of .crimes. Let the laws be observed. The Indiana law-makers have by <yote declared that they will accept yailyoad passes and at the same time accept mileage from the state. Thai is some of them have so declared by their votes. The bill to stop ihe system of public officers receiving passes from the railroad corporations has been idefiuitely postponded by the senate by a viva voce vote. More reform.

The present scssiou of the legislature started on Its journey as a reform body. ft passed the general appropriation of 1106,000 to pay the expenses of the session. And the next thing was how to spend that amouut. Being a reform body It was necessary to make 4 big b]o\y about cutting down the number of door* peepers and employees. * This was done for the first few weeks, but at the present time there are more employes on the pay roll than there were last session. It is time t© adjourn. . Hon. Isaac P. Gray, minister to Mexico and ex-governor of Indiana, died last Thursday evening in the city of Mexico with double pneumonia. He bad just returned to Mexico. His death is a great blow to the democracy of Indiana, fie was a leader of men ~*tjd his wise council and advice in .campaigns was a great benefit to the party which he represented. He yras honored by thejieople of Indiana jp rhigb official position upon different Occasions. As 4 man he stood high jn jhe estimation of the people regardless of politics. His funeral takes place today at Union Ciiy, his pld ho*p«- __ The pe is really but one hi If before the Indiana legislature at the presept fime that the people pf all parties 4re for and against. That is the Nicholson bill controlling the sale of fiquorg. The reppblipan party now Irish that Nichol-on was in Guinea pT soipe pther seaport with his bill as it is giving them considerable trouble. The anti-saloon people want the bill passed, while jnst as strenuously the jtfiuur dealers association waut it

killed. The republican party is on iho top rail of the fence, knowing not whether it would be beet to jump .on one side or other. They ere stand* lug there with fear and trembling. The party must go on record as for or against. The republican papers are howling down the bill tp keep harmony In the party and get the liquor dealer’s to help them out in the next campaign, but what of the good old moral republicans who stand up year in and year out and shout themselves hoarse for the truly moral republican party, the party that protectee T) the homes aud the little ones from death and destruction. But you will see what you will see in the next few weeks. Town politics will soon wax warm in this litt|p burg. The republicans in Petersburg have a large majority, and seldom if ever do the democrats put a ticket in the field. There has been mixed tickets in the field and sometimes a part of the ticket elected but not often has it been the case. For years the republicans have had entire control of the council and all other departments ot government. Some times the hoard of trustees have been extravigaot and in consequence a debt has been put upon the city that cannot be decreased at any; known period. The debt is increasing from year to year. There is but one way in which to decrease the debt and not increase the rate of taxation and it should be done. By lowering the officers salaries aud economizing this may he done.

The citizens of Petersburg are a generous class of people, and should not stand back now wheu there is need of coming to the front to relieve the poor and needy. The Ladies aid society needs your help. They have beeu doing a noble work ; their funds are running low, and unless they have the support of the people they will not longer be able to help the needy of this city. Your donations to the “pound” giving Will aid them wonderfully. Let the ministers aud all others talk the “pound” donation op and in that way help swell the big free will offering. Never turn your back on the needy., It may be in their power some day to help you. Any man can take a newspaper. It is the cheapest thing he can buy. It costs little more than a postage stamp or to send or to receive a letter. What good ^loes it do you? It instructs yon and your wife and teaches your children. It comes to yon in calm or storm, bringing you the best news of the neighborhood. No matter what happens it. enters your door as a welcome friend, full of sunshine, cheer and interest. it shorteps the long summer days and enlivens the long winter nights. It is your adviser, informant, your friend. No man is just to his wife and children who does not give them the home paper to read. Hundreds of homes are owned by men and women which are mortgaged, principally , to buiidiug associations, says the Mariou Chronicle. They really own but a part of what is on tbe tax dupliate against them, but they are taxed to their full value, without regard to encumbrances. A house in which a man has only $200 invested may be worth $1000. If the tgxes are ten per cent, he should pay only $2 but under the law he pays $20. Such a system ot taxation is wrong, and should be corrected. Taxation should be bused on actual wealth.

Herb is food for thought. Iti 1860 there were but two millionaires in the Uuited States snd no tramps. To-day there are 35,000 millionaires 1,500,000 tramps, while three-filths of the entire wealth of the country is owued by 32,000 persons. ———— s Hew Men. Chairman Buskirk, of the organization ot league Democratic clubs in this state has the fallowing to say; The sentiment over the stale, as far as it can be learned with certaiuty, is decidedly in favor off taking up entirely new men in the next contest in the thirteen congressional districts, and if this sentiment grows with the lapse of time as fast as it has been developed since the election of November last, the democratic congressional candidates will be new men and men too, who have been entirely disconnepted from these local disceusions which contributed to swell the republican pluralities in each of the congressional districts. While many of the men jrho went defeated represented their party in every essential {•articular and stood manfully for the complete parrying out of every utterance of the democratic platform it is undeniable that local causes operated against them and that their nomination again would receive fll the ill feeling that characterized that pop

The “Salats.” Having read an article about the “Saint*” iu the New*, f feel called |e present a few thought* through the column* of your paper, upon the other side. They have certainly created a great deal of excitement io this vicinity. They claim they are not a sect; although they pocaeca all the element of a sect. Their mission seems to he, to destroy the system of religion that has spread Christianity over the world. The end of time, which all the biblical research of our wisest, most learned and consecrated men have been unable to determine, has been revealed to these saints who have sprung up within the last fifteen years. They call other denominations “Babylon” and the pastors “false shepherd*,” and yet they do not best* tate to ash these “false shepherds” for the use of their “Babylouistic” tem* pies In which to carry on their work of destruction. But since their hand is against every denomination of course the hand of every pastor and j his loyal members are against them and they have thus tsr been able only to get the one of onion churches and not always them. I suppose since they only go where God calls them, that It is oneot the mysteries revesled only to the “saints,” why lib calls them to so many points where they cannot get admittance. They “harmonise” the scripture ana prove their points by patting a different construction on some text trotn any we ever heard before, and vet they claim to take the bible just as it reads, and denounce the sects for “explaining away” those passages of scripture that do not harmonize with

their creeds or dicipliues. Bui I notice they “explain away” the passage “let our women keep silence in the churches,” for they have female preachers, and I doubt uot that anything else that is at variance with their creed, unwritten though it be, would be explained away just as the sects do. They6 rail at the sect preachers for preachiug tor a salary, saying that they who preach the gospel shall live by the gospel, but their living shall be a free will offering of the people.” We have the testimony of two gentlemen, strangers to each 9ther, giving one method used by the “Saints” to get money during their seriesot meetings at a point in this state. One gentleman told us that he was in that neighborhood during their meetings and knew it to be a fact that one saint; preacher went to au old gentleman apd told him that tt had been revealed to him (the saint) in a dream that the old gentleman should give him twenty dollars. The old man did not dispute the revelation and handed over the money. The other gentleman who lived near the same point said they obtained money from two or three in this way. As much as fifty dollars from one man. To a Baby Ionian this looks worse thau a fixed salary. In all other churches it is a well known fact that while our preachers have a “fixed salary” yet no one is ever compelled to pay more thau be wishes, consequently it is a “free will offering” after ail. If the devil is the chief fouuder of-the sect, he has certainly done a wonderful work tor the upbuilding of Christ’s kingdom. 1 did not know his interest in the gospel run that way, and I think surely God's ways are past finding out siuce he chose to make the deyll the instrument for founding the connecting link between the true church ot Christ, iu apostolic times and the “Saint of God” iu “This blessed Evening Light.” I imagine there will

be some surprise among such men as Wesley, Lu»her, Williams, Fog and others, when they wake up to find the lives they so devotedly consecrated to the service of God, were after all only aids to his satanic majesty. We read with much interest th*» reference, Mark, 16 16-19. Since the saints are the only true believers in thU age of the world, these signs caun<£t be expected to follow any of the sects, aud 1 am just a little afraid that ai| the saiuts will not bear the text. We read wonderful testimonies of the healing power lu the Gospel Trumpet but opr observation forces us to regard the matter somewhat a« a friend used to say ot lamp explosions while he thought they were possible he said they were things we read of but never saw. I have good authority for the following statement. A drummer that passed through Ireland said iu one county in Missouri there had been a number of divorces, twentyfive I think, caused by the saints. This Is to some extent substantiated by an article in the Gospel Trumpet ot February 7th, 1895 Under the head of-‘a .few passages explained” the writer pin explaining the passage, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers,’* says “some go so fay as to separate from a wife or husband unsaved, after they themselves are saved. I give the following extract from a letter written by Rev. Aaron Tunics a

former presiding elder pi this die*] trict. “No I never heard of ihej “Sainta” before. They may have considerable truth In their teachings as all false teachers have, but the fact that t^ey are trying to tear up the churches la evidence at ouce that they ought not to be countenanced. The churches may have faults and.failings | but with all this, they are the best institutions in the befterlug of the world, than all upstart sects ^ike the “Saints” a thousand times over. I presume the world will not be startled I by hearing the “saints” have torn all the churches to pieces. The churches will live after it has been forgotten that there ever was a little bandtull of “saints.” The people who run off after them, show their weakness, and will no doubt see the day when they will be ashamea of it. Probably the people who run off after them do not know that there have been two or three d9**i> little upstart societies of a similar kind made efforts in the same way but cannot be found now. Drift
