FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1893 - Again has il been demonstrated that Petersburg should not be without a fire department. The fire of Tuesday morning freely shows the efficient work done by those members of the defunct fire department who turned out and leut a helping hand. To them and the citizens who worked po nobly is due the greatest consideration in checking the fire and saving Jhe beautiful home of Rev. W. ARichardson which was in flames, and bad it become fully ignited nothing would have prevented the burning ol the business houses on the lower portion of Main street. The firemen aud citizens knew, this and they worked with might and main to check the fine at this point. The common council should take some steps to reorganize the department which they but recently disbandc^, upon the best terms possible to *t>e made. It is time that the department costs the taxpayers a great deal of money during the year, but at the satpe time the department will do efficient work as shown by the fire of Tuesday morning. Stop the leaks at other points and reorganize the department. Save a dollar here and there, economize, cut down some of the salaries and make a liberal offer to the fire department. The people should elect another Republican legislature. The taxes were raised, extravagence abounded, and many of the laws enactefi will pot stand the test.

The late lamented republican legislature was* simply immense in !aw-making. The superintendent aw is the latest to go dowu before }he sqpretne coqrt. Hoi*. Thomas Taggakj was nominated last week as the,democratic candidate for mayor of Indianapolis. Jle is a very popular man aud no poqbt will be elected by a good round majority. - The people will not fool away their fime lu electing republicans to the next Indiana legislature. They want m#n who can write laws that will ?tand the test when put upon the statute books. Bradley, the republican candidate Jor governor of fcentuckv has bapked down and out of the joint debates with General Hardin, his democratic oppouent. The general was making it entirely too hot. The people of Pike county will learn next spring when they go to pay their state and county rent that republicanism is a tax. The tax-pay-ers in Petersburg are also wakiug up to the fact. A man can guy aud a man can lie, and a nrian can puff and blow, bqt he can’t get trade by sitting in the shade and waiting for business to grow. The United States mint is th? only concern that can make money without advertising. The fact that the farmery in the northwestern states are thrashing put from twenty to si^ty bushels of 'frheat to the acre, is a very damaging blow to the clauiitv howlers. It is piost evident that the Lord is backing yit the democrats in their ^ood Work.

The supreme court of Indiana on last Friday held that the new county superintendent law passffl by the late republican legislature was uncoustitutiional, but one judge dissenting. The new law changed the tinp# of electing superintendents from June to September, aud was purely a political measure for the purpose of gaining a few officials. Many of the Laws passed by the late ntob legislature were for purely partisan purposes and should not stand- By the decision of the court declaring the law invalid the township trustees did not elect Monday as would have beeu done had the law been held void, and John B. Blaize, the present incumbent, will hold over until June, 1897, when an election will occur.

The remarkable activity in the iron and steel market continued during •the past week, with still further advances in prices and an increased demand. Many plants that had been shut down have resumed. In almost all manufacturing lines the conditions have improved. Improved trade is reported from the larger middleWestern cities and along the Ohio valley. One feature of the week was the settlement of the mine troubles in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, by which it is estimated that the wages of at least 100,000 men will be increased October 1st. We present here a few more evidences of returning prosperity under t^e democratic tariff law : Salem Massachusetts, cotton mills, 1,400 hands, 5 cent increase; Flemington. Pa,, rolling mills, 10 per cent; Glendale, R. I., wollen mill,2.000 employes 110 per cent; Norway, Michigan, iron miners; Benwood, W. Va., nut and boll, works, 2,0*30 employes, 10 per cent; Harrisburg, Pa., 7 per cent; Lpwiston, Pa., tannery, 10 per cent. An old farmer in speaking of the crops, said: “I have lived a great many years and always find that things even up pretty well. When dry weather threatens the growing fields with disaster, the Lord always conu s in on the home stretch with his rain and sunshine. I have always trusted 1 in Providence, and was never much disappointed.” Legislative Gerrymander. The suit tcrtest the constitutionality of the legislative gerrymander passed by the republican legislature ot 1895 reached the supreme court, says the Indianaopolis Sentinel, by the filing in the clerk's office of the transcript of the record in the Sullivan county circuit court in which Judge Moffett field that the law was unconstitutional. The complaint is signed by Senator David Turpie, Jason B. Brown, ex-Attornev-General Smith and Lamb & Beasley of Terre Haute tor thedemocr&tic contestants. Harris & Douthitt of Sullivan are the attorneys tor the defendants. In the origiual action in the Sullivan court the plaintiffs asked that the defeudate, the clerk, auditor and sheriff of Sullivan county, be enjoined from proceeding in their several official capacities for the election of

senators ami representatives for the electi^ of November, 1896, and front giving notice of such election, furnishiug blanks, etc., under the law passed by the legislature of 1895. Also that a writ of mandate issued to the defendants commanding them to proceed in their several official capacities to have such election held under the law of March 4,1883. This injunction was issued by the court and the defendants appeal to the supreme court. In the assignment of errors the appellants hold that the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action; that the court erred in overruling the demurrer to the complaint, aud that the court had uo jurisdiction of the subject matter. i Suggestions to; School Trustees. The slate health board has sent opt an order regarding school houses, with instructions to the county board of health to see that township and town trustees obeyed it. The order is as follows; “More than one-sixth of the population of our state will during the next six mouths spend six hours daily ip the school house. This neccessary confinement withia the school room walls, coming as it does during the growing period of the body, and while it is most susceptible to harmful influences, entails certain evils which have beeu too generally regarded as necessary accojtrpaniments of school life. It is well‘know n, however, to those who have studied these questions carefully, that most of the imimportant requirements in guarding against these diseases is to have the school hopse placed in the best sanitary conditions possible before the beginning ot the fall and winter terms of school. To insure a favorable hygieuic condition for the

school*, the following essentials are demanded; “To clean out all sources of water supply, and place them in good con- ! dition; and where houses have mo | supply ot their own, to at oujce furnish one. ‘ “In the absence of a better system, ‘ to prepare the windows and trausoms so that ventilation can be had with-j out causing draughts of cold air to come in contact with the pupils. “To place the buildings iu good repair, with tight floors, good roofs and underpinnings. “To ste that the yard and grounds do not admit of stauding water, and to prepare graved or board walks to keep the children’s feet out of the mud. “Suitable water closets for each of the sexes should be provided with every school house. They should be situated far enough away from the house to secure privacy, and not be a nuisance. They should be kept in good repair, cleaned and disinfected at least twice a mouth . “The rooms should be so warmed that all may be kept comfortable; 9toves and furnaces safe and in good order.

“The rooms should not be overcrowded. Not less than fourteen square leet of floor epaee and 215 cubic feet of breathiung space should he allowed each pupil “Blackboards should uot be placed between the windows, and the surfaces of the boards should be a dead black, uot glossy. “The light should if possible, be admitted trom the rear oi the pupil; uever from the front. “Desks and seats of different heights should be furnished, to suit the sizes and ages of pupils.” Petersburg ami Mt. Carmel* Petersburg went to Mt. Carmel yesterday and played ball with the boys of that place but the score indicates that they were not in it to any extent as it resulted 15 to 1 in favor of Mt. Carmel. There is another side to the question, however, and that is explained by the fact that Mt. Carmel people became tired of the partial decisions of their home umpire and when a Petersburg man was put in at the sixth inning he was compelled to explain every decision to the players and Mt. Carmel “rooted.” An eye wjtness characterized it as a very dirty piece of work by the Carmelites and that no respectable club would treat visitors as they did the Petersburg team.—Princeton Democrat. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. utter, man of Dimomlale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “l have uo hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results are almost marvelous in the case of my wife. White 1 was pastor of the Baptist church at Hives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive | them. A frieud recoinmeuded Dr. King's ^ew Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results.” Trial bottles free at J. It. Adams & Son's drug store. Regular size 39c and $1.00.
