■n-yyrr-?-*-w-i-C“JC-*-~f.— The new serenes it the Blackburn mines have been placed In position and are now in working order. They are said to be the finest In the state. A large force of workmen will soon (>e placed to work in that mine, which has been at a standstill for sometime past owing to extensive repairs being made. Work was commenced Monday morning on the new brick store room which P. A. McCarty will erect on the site of the fire of last spring, corner Main and Sixth streets. The building will be one-story high twenty-two feet wide and seventy feet long. The room will be completed as soon as the weather will permit Ayrshire was the scene of a shooting scrape last Sunday, borne colored miners were “shooting craps” at that place, when one of them grabbed a nickel, when another one pulled a revolver and began shooting. The fellow with the nickel had a very narrow escape as one bullet grazed the skin under the chin. No arrests as yet. This is the day of anti-this, and anti-that, but what people need most nowdays is, the anti-bilious medicine Simmons Liver Regulator, the King of Liver Medicines, and better than pills. *‘I have used no other antibilious remedy for 6ix years and know from experience that for ladies ot a constipated habit nothing equals it.”—Laura V. Craig, Ellenbury, Fla. Republican candidates are now jumping up on every hand so confident are they that they will win again in Pike couuty, Petersburg has no less than fifteen candidates for each office. They are as thick as hojney bees around the bung hole of a molasses barrel. The ring has already made out its slate and the same will go through the nomination without a break.

On last Friday about one bundred of the friends and relatives of J. D. and Mrs. Selby met at their home south of town, and gave them quite a surprise, the event being their tin wedding anniversary. Abont the noon hour a splendid repast was served to all those present. There were a number of valuable presents given Mr. and Mrs. Selby. The event will be long remembered by all. Will Patterson, the well known prescription clerk, who has been in the city some time, employed first by C. J5. Rowe and then by J. C. Marsh, returned to Indianapolis, Tuesday, where he has secured the position of city collector for the Indiana Bicycle Company, * His family is already there. Mr. Patterson is a most courteous and affable gentleman, and has many friends in this city.—Portland Sun. Mrs. Middleton Hickerson died at the home of her son Rhine in this place last Friday. She and her husband had come here on a visit sometime ago whcfe she was taken sick and had been confined to her bed for several weeks. The remains were taken to Gentry ville for burial, where the funeral occurred on Saturday. She wa3 57 years old. She was a sister of Thomas, John and Henry Read of this place. Mrs. Edgar Brenton met with quite an accident last Monday. While coming to town the horse she w«s driving became scared and ran away, throwing her out of the buggy. She was badly bruised up and was unconscious for several hours after the accident. She was picked up and taken to the residence of John Brenton and Dr. Hunter was called. The horse ran for nearly two miles before the accident occurred. Judge Ely returned home Sunday from Jasper, where he has been holding court. The judge has been working early and late aud finished up the term in Dubois county Saturday night at eleven o’clock. He has been holding court continuously for eleyen weeks, six weeks here and five weeks in Dubois county. He is a hard worker and cleans pp the dockets as far as possible at each session. Court will convene here one week from Monday, giving the judge a two weeks vacation.

The Ayrshire mines have enjoyed an immense business daring October Mr. Ingle informs the Journal that for the month ending last night he had shipped 740 cars of coal, and had furnished about 80 cars to the Air Line for the locomotives, making a total of over 800 cars for the month, which is equivalent to over 16,000 tons or 400,000 bushels. On account of scarcity of cars the mines were never run over three-quarters time and a great many days only half time was put,in. This is one of the biggest month’s runs Mr. Ingle has ever had and the volume of business done at these mines is surprising to people Who have never investigated it.—Oakland City Journal.

■+»?r -Vi»L.. 1 ■'—"■VP-T1"" * CURRENCY REFORM. Oppupiwi to Bcmtny Carlisle’* We note in some quarters a disposition to oppose the plan of currency reform proposed by Secretary Carlisle on grounds so slight as' to force the belief that the opposition is motived by hostility more to the fact that the proposition oomes from a Democratic secretary than from any valid objections to the plan. It is a curse of party government, resulting often in immense injury to the people, that party advantage is made superior to public benefit. While the whole argument of the secretary in the necessary presentation of his plan is a severe arraignment of Republican fiscal legislation, it was unavoidable, because any proposed change must involve an examination and an exposition of the defects of the methods proposed to be displaoed. This may aooount for the disposition noted, but mere partisan opposition was never so out of place as in the discussion of the secretary’s plan of a reform of our currency, which is so palpably defective as to find defense nowhere. There is room for partisan opposition, of oourse, where the fundamental proposition is disputed by any party that asserts it to be the function of the government to issue all the paper currency needed or used. This is the contention of the Populists, but not of the Republicans nor of the Democrats. In these parties there is acquiescence in the principle that the supplying of representative money should be left to private enterprise, as is the supply of the material of metallic eyThe questions far legitimate discussion are simply thorn involving details. Are the provisions for the security of the notes ample? Are the opportunities for utilising the privilege granted sufficiently easy of access within safety limits, so as to preclude the creation of a monopoly? Will the evils of the present system be removed? Will the government be relieved from its embarrassments? These and other questions of d» tail are all that are properly open for discussion, and it is to be hoped that the discussion in and out of congress will run on these lines, and that no captious opposition will be made springing out of partisan motives. The situation is altogether too serious to make such oonduot less than criminal The Republicans and Democrats, all who favor, a sound and safe currency, should unite in perfecting a measure on the lines proposed by the secretary. With a honse on fire it is no‘ time for pipemen to quarrel as to the direction of the stream of water.—St. Paul Globa

The Income Tax Most Stand. The astonishing statement is made in a high tariff organ that the income tax is a sectional and discriminating tax aimed, in the first place, by southern planters against the hated traders of the north, and, in the seoond place, espoused by the Populists and Democrats in the vain hope of arraying the paasses with small incomes against those who have over $4,000 per year. Certainly the southern planters do not hate the traders of the north. On the oon trary, they buy freely from them, and in Louisiana there are planters who are willing to share the tariff tax swag with the monopolies of all sections. Ahd what could be more absurd than the idea that Democrats and Populists hope to array the masses with small inoomea against those who have more than $4,000 a year? The income of every Democrat and Populist in congress who voted for the income tax is more than $4,000, and the tax xieaohes members of all parties. The income tax will provide a fund for paying the pensions of our veterans, and it must stand.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Civil Service Reform. If the Republicans elect the president and congress in 1896, they will find a disappointing vacuum in the spoils department As President Cleveland continues the work of reform all of the appointments will be so fenced in by civil service rules that nothing worth having will be left to give away. The exasperating quarrels of spoilsmen over the patronage will sink into insignificance oompared with their exasperation at there being none to quarrel over.—Chi* oago Herald. To Insure Prosperity. Let patriotio statesmen of every faith unite and make common cause to meet the great vital issue of financial reform in the best way to insure tranquillity and prosperity to the business of the entire country.—Philadelphia Times. The depletion of the gold reserve began under Harrison and simply went on under Cleveland. —St Louis Poet-Dis-patch.
