Democratic Doctrine. “YVe hold/' lo the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either ur.etal or charge for mintage, but the dollar * flnit of coiuage of both metals must be of^qual intrinsic and exchangeable vaiue to be adjusted through iuternatioimivagreement or by such safe-guard-MkC legislation as shall iusure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets ^nd in the payment of debts; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with any redeemable in such coin.I YVe in^st upon this^ policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring clase§ the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating currencv.—National Democratic Platform 1892. \

at frhtn five to eight per cent, A lew years ago no county orders were floated in Pike county. The tax-payers of Pike county are kicking at the great expense heaped Mpon them by the republicans, since coining into power in Pike count>. Gentlemen this not a good time to kick after you have voted. ^Thk surplus of $24,000 auda better left by the Pike county democratsdias disappeared.1 This sum has been spent during the last two or three years. There must be extravagance somewhere. There should be a Change made bv the tax-pavers. “No reform, moral or intellectual, .ever came ftrjnm the upper class of society. .Each and all came from the protest of martyr and victim. The emancipation uf ilIQ working people must bfr'achieved by the working people themselves.*—Wendell Phillips. ._. ^ An?> the county officers continue to kick, and want to know what they are goiug to get for their services since the law has been repealed regulating salaries. They will also want to know what they are going to get Pinter the recent law passed by the republican legislature. There should be a new school building erected, or at least an addi* tion to the present building. The yootus are two crowded for comfort, and each teacher has more pupils than can lie given the proper attention. At least three or tpore teachers should he employed to give the proper instruction ti> the children. To do thi6 there should he more rooms addjfd to the present building. The town council men have decided not to issue bonds for the purpose ot building a new school house. Those opposed to erecting another building Finney, Nicely and Lingo, while Doit ami Goodrk) are in fagor. There seemsjtp* be some difference ' between the school trustees and the town trusteps about thernianagement of the city schools for the c*»mtng year. As democrats have no voice whatever in the matter we propose to let them fight it out if it takes all

t WverTalk. The democrats of Illinois in session it Springfield appointed a committee ; which rejioriwl the. follow in •£ resolu- , lions which were almost unanimously : adopted: ' _ . " • “Whereas, silver and gold have ! been ihe principal money metals of the ^ world for thousand* of years and silver money is recognized and used as honest money between individuals | and betweeu nations, notwithstanding the varying ratio betweeu silver and (gold and, * “Whereas, The demonetization of ; silver has deprived the people of‘t the free use and benefit of an invaluable aud original money metal aud has in* creased debts aud added to the burdens of the people by lowering the value of labor aud labor products; aud, “Whereas, The constitution of the United States prohibits any state from U6iug anything but gold and silver coin as a legal tender' tor the payment of debts, thereby recognizing that coin composed of silver or of gold is honest money and fit to be used as a legal tender; therefore, be it “Resolved, by the democrats of Illinois, in convention assembly, that we are iu favor of the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the Uuited States, and demaud the free and unlimited coinage of both metals at tbe ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting tor the action of any other nation, and such qyins shall be a legal tender for all debts both public and private, and that all contracts hereafter executed for the payment of money, whether in gold, silver or coin, may be discharged by any money which is by law, legal tender. “Resolved, That we hereby indorse the action of the democratic central committee in calling this convention, and we instruct the committee to carry out fhe will of this convention as expressed in its platform by inaugurating and carrying on a campaign of education in this state and to thoroughly organize the democracy of the state on the lines as laid down in the platform ot this convention. “Resolved, That the democratic members of congress and members of the senate from this state be, tfnd I they are hereby instructed to use all honorable means to carry out the principles above enunciated. There was a lengthy debate in regard to the resolution favoring ini vitation to the national democratic | committee to call a national monetary ! convention. The following resolution was finally adopted :

■ ivesoiveu, tnat we request me democratic national committeecall | a convention to consider the money question not later than August. 1895. If the copimittee refuses to call such a convention, then we invite i. the democratic state committees of other states to take concurrent action with the democratic state committee of this state in calling such convention.” Wheii^, this resolution was lead before the convention it was greeted with loud applause, as was also the 16 to 1 paragraph of the main resolution. Business is still improving all oyer the country. The merchant* are feeling better and are filling up their stocks. The mauufactuer is increasing wages and running full time. The croakers will continue to croak, however, bat that is the class I of people who never work but live off I the people just the same. JroGE Offit has decided that the new law relative to the election of county superintendents is unconstitutional, The decision was rendered in the Hancock county circuit court last Friday. If the decision stands in the supreme court the superintendents elected or whqgip there was uo election will hold over. Hick’s June Weather. An equinox of Mereury is central on June 3rd, and will tend to prolong cloudiness and storms through much ot the time up to storm period commencing about the 5th. The Venus equiuox is central on the 12th* with Jupiter bearing directly from Mav 17, hence we may look for dangerous phenomena from about 6th to 9th, and the reactiorary storms from abpt|t)lth to 13th are apt to be many and "heavy. Local waterspouts and cloudburst, in the nature of things, are to be apprehended. Hail with intense electrical activity and sudden changes to very cool, are things to be expected. Watch for tomadic and cyclonic developments. From 16th to 2Q<h, expect many storms, much rain in many places with vivid lightning, bail and wind. New moon on 22nd will prolong storm conditions into 22 and 23. Very 'cool for the season after storm have passed away. Frost possible in the extreme north. June eurts growing verv warm, with storms in full progress from west ff> < ft

t'iae Moutuneuts. Kelle & Dillard, the monument dealers, have contracted wjth James R. Evan#; of tbl* city to erect a fine family monument in Walnut Hills cemetery. Thi* firm has erected a number of fine mono- { menu In the various cemeteries of the county. They reeeutly built a fine monument for the Hon. J. F. Dillon j at Bloomington, but formerly a rest* dent of near Otwell. The World of that place says: ’ One of the most beautiful monuments in Indiana ha$ been placed in | I position on the Dillon lot in Rose j | Hill cemetery in this city. It is a j sarcopagus design colufhu-cornered. the corners being finished with Corinthian caps. The monument Is composed of five pieces, base, sub-base plynt, die and cap. The base is seven feet lohg, five feet wide and one foot six inches high. The height of the inonumeut is seven feet six inches. The stone- is dark barre Vermont, and presents a most beautiful appearauce. The inscriptions, , jointing and other work are of a high order of workmanship aitd give ample evidence that the firm that furnished it, Kelle & Dillard, of Washington, Ind., is composed pf experts iu their line. For three years, Hon. J. F. Dillon, formerly of this city, but who lor the past fifteen years has been a successful attorney of Pierre, South Dakota, has been studying various designs of monuments. J^Twas his chief desire to erect a satisfactory monument to mark the resting places of the members of the Dillon family, and over five hundred designs were inspected. While at the world's fair Mr. Dillon found a design that with a few changes suited him. lie corresponded with the proprietor who resided in Massachusetts, and ° with firms in Indianapolis and elsewhere, and when the estimates and- designs had all been submitted Mr. Dillon found that the workmanship and price ot Kelle & Dillard of Washington, Ind,, were the most favorable and he gave them the contract. Yesterday Mr. Dilion expressed himself to a World reporter as being perfectly satisfied with the job. a.ul that he could suggest no alterations or improvements. He stated that the firm was prompt in the execution of the order, laud that they were accommodating in alt their relations with him. The monument weighs twenty tons. The firm that made this one also furnished monuments for t^e lltghts, MeCallas, Slusses and other well known families here. Three members of the Dillon family are buried in Rose Hill in the lot on which this new monument has been erected—Matthew B, died July 5, 1891; Mary A, died May 17, 1S91; James S., June 5, 1871. !
