S. ha9 a right to enforce the Monroe doctrine in thp Venezuela affair. Looks a little warish. Till republican senate has give way and the silverites will organize that body. The ways and means committee is decidedly silver in its makeup. Looks tough on the cross-roads editors who do the hollerin'. The editor of the News, one of the republican organs of the cotiniv, does not seem to relish the way things are being managed by the republican ring. And why should it? The Pi^ess on the other hand Is silent on pounty aflairs. Jtr* Tfc# m» CMit; (MfdmlttlM «t aw? n«4M»r j rlkr Ctaat) t 14r»rp»er« will M ptihrtl

Don't for a moment think ot buying holiday goods abroad. Petersburg merchants have a splendid assortment •just from the great markets at the Very lowest prices, besides they pay the taxes Rnd are justly entitled to all of the patronage of home people. The democratic convention for the First district to elect a member of the State committee will meet at Evansville, January 8th. Pike county is entitled to t^n votes. The meeting of the county democracy to select delegates will be field at Winslow, January 4th- _ From the way the republican congressmen are introducing bills for public buildings they will bankrupt ilte nation in less than three years. Put then they will never pass. It is pnly g bluff to m?ke themselves popular with their constituents fora repomjnation. * Wp4T has the republican congress done? Echo answers “what.*' This body of great reformers, so far as the press dispatches denote, has not yet been bully organized, yet it has been in session for about three weeks. Heed will abide his time about appointing his committees. The Press continues to harp about something that It knows nothing about.—Pike County Democrat, ¥et tye are in a much better condit ion than **The Democrat which kuows nothing at all to parp about and is afraid to “harp about Something it knows nothing about.—Petersburg Press. It is presumed that the editor is in much better shape since the recent letting of the stationery contract in which he gets a slice, But lor ,hpayen’ssake will the editor explain why the contract is so much higher than in previous years. Silence on the subject has prevailed long enough. The Press and Democrat are quarreling pver high taxes, republican extravagance and mismanagement. Here is a pointer for them: County Treasurer Beach informs us that the total taxable valuation of Pike poupty for the year 18& was 1800,000 larger than for 18S5. As the republicans have had pUarge of county affairs fqr the past two years jt is an easy matter to tell whose fault it is.— Petersburg News. 8 This is the state of affairs in Pike county in - brief. The republican party is eutirely responsible for the low assessment of roal and personal property in Petersburg aud Pike county. For years and years the republicans have absolutely controlled the town of .Petersburg, aud for the past four or live years have controlled . county affairs. It republicanism in Petersburg and Pike county is’nt a tax, what is it ?

At a special election in Louisville Mr. A. J. Carroll was elected over bis republican opponent on Saturday. The majority given was 'about the normal democratic majority,’which phows that the Kentucky democrats already repent the apathy or resentment that controlled them at the general elections. Mr. Carroll's success is all the more important because it disposes of the chances for the election of a republican to succeed Senator Blackburn. It makes the Jiouse a tie as to the democrats and republicans, with two pnpuhxts holding the balance of power. But it is not probable that either of them will Vote for a republican candidate for the senate and Joe Blackbprn’s prospects fur re-election have been much improved by Carroll’s success.-—Ev-gpstfillp Courier. ,

The Belt President. The meeting of democrat* at India* napolis Wednesday in connection with the elate central committee waa a success in every particular.

Heller; secretary of the democratic state central committee, for their splendid and efficient services in behalf ot and devotion to the cause of the stjate democracy of Indiana.” The following resolution indorsing Governor Matthews for president was passed as the unanimous sense ot the state committee, representing as it did the democracy of Indiana : “Resolved, That the democratic state central committee of the state of Indiana, assembled at Indianapolis on this 11th day of December, 1S95, unanimously recommend to the democracy ef the union Governor Claude Matthews as a suitable candidate for the presidency of the United States. “We know him to be a lifelong democrat and that he possesses the Jeffersonian qualifications that Is to say, he is honest, competent aud worthy. “We know that he is thoroughly devoted to the fundamental principles of the democratic party, which must endure as long as our Republic stands, lake Jefferson and Jackson, he has come into official life from among our agricultural people, and is broad aud liberal in his views concerning all the great interests that go to make up our active, progressive and patriotic.nation. “That Governor Matthews, in his service in the legislature of our state, In the administrative office of secretary of state and as chief executive of the state of Indiana, has gained a verv useful experience in public affairs. That he is studious, industrious, cautious aud firm in the discharge of public duty. That his popularity is evidenced by the uniform success ot his canvasses before the people hitherto. “We, therefore, respectfully prescut him to our fellow democrats of the nation as a fit and proper person to be the standard-bearer of the national democratic party in the presidential coutest of 1896.” ,
