Port igu capiudists have been here looking over the field on t •.■vral*evasions, but they have not come to any definite conclusions as yet. No p>aee in Indiana is more favored for a tin.1 system of water w rks than Petersburg. The Alien kind,of soft water can be had by drilling a system of wells from lt<0 to 200 fed. In the well* now drilled the water s'ands in them nearly to the t and is as s..ft as rjiin water. A gvsiem ii'itig deep*5 wells would be much jporv preferable than a system using water from the river or small streams. The Dijiocuat has on numerous occasions advanced the io a of a system of water works f >r Petersburg, but many of the citizens tiiought it would not U* a paying invest ntent, bit since the discovery of natural gas and the natural growth which the city will make it ,is possible f> r a system of water works to be put on a paying basis. Towns iro larger than Petersburg support water works plants and why not Petersburg/ The citizens of this city are as progressive as any in the state and art a? able to enjoy the luxuries thereof. Talk up the project of water works, and when the bluebirds make their appearance next spring a home company will be organized cr foreign cap* ^talists may have a plait well under way. Let’s imve water works as easy as natural gas was dissevered, but-do not wait and talk so long about it.

Now, the question is, do the jwopU- want another railroad through Pike county?

Neal Dow, the great temperance leader, died at his home in Portland, Maine, last Saturday afternoon, lie was about 90 years of age and had long been pue of the prominent figures of the United ^hates.

The campaign in Indiana will be one of the hardest Tought ever known in the state. Bvcti at this early date the two great political parties are laying their plans for the campaign. The democratic press of the stale will stand up for the rights of the masses as against the classes and for equal privileges for all as against special privileges far the few. The democratic press made a noble fight in the last year but their efforts were overcome by the great corjavrations and the forcing of men to vote the gold bug ticket. The laboring men were fooled, but they will not be so again. The farming sections of the state stood almost as a uuit for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, while in the cities the labor crushers got in their work to a queen's taste and the vote was the other way. How, these voters have seen where they have been fooled, and will at the first opportunity vote to suit themselves regardless of “losing their jobs,” as it was said they would, and they did immediately after the elect iou in mauy instances. They will vote for a change aud fur the money of the people—gold and silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. The silverites of Indiana will present a solid front at the next election in lndinua, and if they organize throughout the state as well as they were in old Pike a glorious victory’ will be the result.

Tnr latest ticket in Ohio is that formed by the colored voter? of that state. A full $t£U ticket has been put forth ami a big fight is being made. This is a hart! blow t< the republicans, who have always tel up the claim that the colored people^ooged to them. The color'd man in the last few years has come to learn that the republican leaders have no use for him only on election day to vote the republican ticket and help elect them to office. They never receive recognition for their services. ....— lit another month the elections in Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa and a few other states will 1 be held. The campaign is lively in Ohio i and Kentucky with things in favor of the sd'erites carrying the day. The city election of Indianapolis comes off next Tuesday. From all indications Mayor Taggart will 1* re-elected by a handi some majority. lfuwrtiHivi. In studying the quest ion ofbimetalism one should keep clearly in mind: First, that money is not the value by which commodities an* exchanged and debts are paid says .Mr. Edward Tuck, in the October Foruui, Money is only a counter, a marker, a measure of the value, *uid is not by nature value itself. Second, that the precious metal, go id and silver, acquire heir great worth because they are used as money,—rot that money as money derives its value from the material of which is made. As Paul us, the great jurist, says, ‘•money circulates with a power which it derives, not from its substance. but from its quantity." Third, the material of whiec money is made, as pointed out bv Professor Bain, is not iu itself ihe standard,' but the register in which the standard is recorded. The material of money i>ears a .■ •mw !c$ similar iviatihn to value tiiat the dial of a clock does to time. Hence the term “double standard" is an erroneous one. s It is not the standard that is double, but the metals in which the

standard is rcgiy.rev. I Ik- two metals e^.njointly. possessing equally the debtpaying function at a tlx til ratio of weight, form one standard, one .money. ltauiel Webster understood„ this, as his careful j language, above quoted, unmistakably in- j dieates. His words.ate: “Gold ami silver \ constitute the legal standard of value.” It was to correct the misconception caused by j the use of this misnomer, “double stand-; ai l,” that CYrnusehi originated, in 18(19, i the name ‘‘bimetallism,5’ which- covers the > real principle at issue as ahy single word | can do. * It is impossible to have any standard of j value that will U absolutely invariable, as, tin number of mankind, as well as the 1 activity of industry and of commerce can never be fixed. Variations in the amount of ■ . . ! transactions requiring money, variations m j tbe efficiency of credit contrivances for «v m in . it,g the use of money, cannot ex-j actly coincide. B'th theory and experi-1 cnee demonstrate, however, that a standard j baseiS upon the aggregate ma*s of the two j metals ;s lf.s variable, and therefore more equitable, than a standard based upon each j metal singly; ltxau®c the total monetary j n.a-v of the two combined is subject to less , proportionate change in quantity, from the j varying productions of different periods, j than is the mass of either metal alone.! Moreover, it is a mathematical impossibility i to maintain even an approximately stable standard of value while two unrelated and discordant loououietallbms prevail among inter-iradiug nations. To secure ability, the link between those systems, which virtually secured the commercial world up to 1*73 one bimetallic money, must be re-j established. Incorporated. The Obi" River & South Atlantic railway company was incorporated here today. The company, which starts into business with $l2o.U00 capital stock, proposes to build a road from Vincennes to a point oq the Ohio river at or near Jeffersonville. The road, as projected, will extend throujfh the counties of Knox, Pike, Dubois, Orange, Washington, Harrisou, Clark and Floyd, and will open up a large section of country ‘that has not had the best of railroad facilities. It will be 185 miles long. Albert E. Boone of Zanesville, is at the head of the enterprise, and holds 24,900 of the 25,000 shares of stock. Among the men associated with him are Edward Watson of Vincennes; William Kirby of Toledo; George W. Dewees ot Farmersburg, Indiana, and W. A. |Cul2opof Vincennes. — Indianapolis special.

Conditions of the Democratic Party. New has the organization o 1 the democratic party been in healthier condition than it is today. By its wise and conservative action on the money question it has again brought itself in nearer relations to the people than it has enjoyed since years before the civil war. It has struck terror to the destructives, who, under the cry of “sound money,” were hastening to the final and complete destruction of our silver coin, and has checked their schemes for establishing their starving policy of a gold standard, under which wealth would continue to accumulate in the hands of the few, while the masses of mankind would be enslaved to them. At Chicago last year the party in convention rose up like a giant from the drugged sleep which had long seized upon it. The emissaries of Wall street who were sent there to buy it were shown the door, out of which some of them went, while those who remained saw the splendid spectacle of a more than a twothirds majority move with & resistless force against the threats of the money power to the adoption of a new declaration of independence and the nomination for the presidency of a gifted young American, who made the most briiiiaut political campaign

ever made iu this country. The forces which were humiliated at Chicago were chiefly New Yorkers. Despite their protests after the convention and their sulking and treachery, Mr. Bryan received in the Empire state more than half a million of votes, being one out of every thirteen cast for him iu the United States. A little squad of peanut politicians in that state are now endeavoring to persuade the party to belie its record, ignore its principles, rub out the line which distinguishes democracy from Me Kin ley Urn, and, under the pretense of harmonizing the party, destroy it. There can l»e no harmony between the democrats who voted for Bryan and those who voted for McKinley. Let the party move on, keeping step to the music of free and unlimited coinage of both metals at the present ratio without the consent of any other nation. That wav victory lies. Any compromise is ridiculous. Any attempt at stifling the question would bo absurd. If we have any* weak-kneed brothers who arc afraid that d&ooeraey will hurt the democratic party, we j-uggest a conference between William Jennings Bryan and Drover Cleveland, and if they can bring] the party “together,” as it is called, by | swallowing one another, or by each one convincing ho other that he is wrong, or j if they can split the difference between right and wrong, or da :no>s and light, or between the usurer and ids victim, let them make a report for the consideration of the party. Let honest men speak out and declare that they intend neither to cheat n<r be cheated. Whoever is not for us is against us. The democrats who hid themselves during the last campaign, and “on election day will not recover their standing as democrats until they have brought forth fruits meet for repentance and have, supported the democratic party, its principles and its men in at least one campaign.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

WASHINGTON LETTER, Oar Regular Correspondent Sends In a Batch of News. “Cuba; it ought to be and it shall be free!’* That is the motto on the flag which the friends of Cuba, many and influential in Washington, have nailed to the mast. The new campaign for free Cuba was opened with a big mass meeting, under the auspices of the Woman’s National Cuban League, participated iu by many prominent men, including a number of Washington’s foremost ministers of the gospel. Other meetings. are to be held, not only in Washington, but in ail sections of the country, to give that hearty sympathy for Cuba known to exist a chance to express itself in such au emphatic way that the leisurely and uncertain steps of the administration will have to be quickened, whether it be agreeable to the government of Spaiu or not. At this meeting a picked choir of sixty voices sang for the first time in public Joseph Adams’ “Ode to Cuba,” which he dedicated to the league. There was great enthusiasm, and l those who are in charge say that it is going to continue to grenv until it becomes irresistable. These people believe with the Cubaus that nothing short of freedom for Culm will be accepted, and that the admin

istration scheme of pacification for Cuba under a continuance of Spanish rule is bound to be a failure. Ex-Chief Headley, chief eouusel for the intending purchasers of the Union Pacific railroad, has been in Washington for the purpose of securing the official consent of the administration to the deal made by his clients with the Cleveland administration. He secured it, of course, and the road will be sold next month, notwithstanding the protests of the Senate committee on Pacific railroads and the charge by reputable citizens that the sale is a job to do the government and the private creditors of the road out of millions of dollars. It pat's to be the president's doctor. Dr. Newton I.. Bates, a medical director in the navy, who was the private physician of Mr. McKinley when he was in Congress, ami who has occupied the same position since he became president, has been appointed chief of the bureau of medicine and surgery in the navy department, although he was not next in line for promotion. An Ohio republican who would not allow his name to be used because it figures on an official pay roil and he wishes it to stay there, has btvn telling the inside facts about the high-handed way in which Boss llanna’s •man Dick has been walking rough shod over the Foraker republicans in the state. He has been in the state recently and knows. He said: “There has never been anything like it before in Ohio |>olities. The supporters of Senator Foraker supposed that when the deal was patched up, largely through Mr. McKinley, by which Mr. Hanna was to be supported for the Senate and Governor Bushuell renominated, that factional differences were to be shelved for the time and the campaign made harmoniously. They soon discovered that the harmony was to cousist of constant humiliations put up n the Foraker men by Hanna, his man Dick and their henchmen. It has bet n steadily getting worse ever since the campaign opened and the end is not yet, although Senator Foraker became so disgusted that he left the state with the intention of remaining awav until the elec

tion. Mr. McKinley has fiersuaded Senator Foraker to return to Ohio, anti promised him that if lie would go ahead and make speeches he would see that Hanna and Dick Have hitn and his friends better treatment. Foraker accepted Mr. McKinley’s promise and left Washington today for Ohio, but he knows that Hanna considers himself McKinley’s master, and he hasn’t much confidence in that promise. Foraker will have a personal day of reckoning with Hanna, as sure as you live, whether it be oir the floor of the IT. S. Senate or in the state of Ohio.” There is an unusual lot of growling among the office seekers in Washington because of the little time that Mr. McKinley devotes to them. They go to the white house everyday but few of them get an opportunity to see Mr. McKinley, and those who do see him do not get much satisfaction. He makes some appointments nearly every day, but lots of them are men whom he knows personally or wishes to reward for persoual work done for him. As a result there is some plain talk in the hotel corridors from those who believe themselves entitled to official recognition and who have been led to suppose thev would get it. Slowly, but surely, an anti-McKinley sentiment is growing among republicans. A Yalnable Prescription. Editor Morrison of Worthington Ind., “Sun,” wrjtes: “You have a valuable prescription in Electric Bitters aud 1 can cheerfully recommend it for constipation and sick headache, aud as a general system tonic it has no equal ” Mrs. Annie !*tehle, Ai-io Cottage Grove Ave.. Chicago, was all run down, could not eat nor digest food, had a backache which never left her and lelt tired and wearv, hut six bottles of Electric Bitters restored her healtu and renewed her strength.

Black Diamond Railroad. Last Friday evening at Vincennes the directors of the Black Diamond railroad * held a meeting in the parlors of the Union Depot hotel. The meeting was presided i over by Hon. William Kirkby, president of ' the system. The directors are enthusiastic 1 and will push the system aloug until it is completed, The following directors were present f Edward Watson, VV. A. Cullop and James A. Pritchell, Vincennes; T. B. Wilson, Monroe City; J. L. Bretz and 1 George R. Wilson, Jasper; Amos Stout and J. R. Simpson, Paoti; G. W. Deweese, Fredericksburg; JoJhn H. Martin, Palmyra; William, Kirkby, Toledo, Ohio, and A. EL Boone, Zanesville, Ohio. It was strictly a business meeting from ! start to finish. The directors by a vote decided to put a corps of civil engineers to work at once to survey the line. This work will begin next Monday, one corps starting from Vincennes and one from Paoli. This work will be in charge of Edwin E. Watts of Prineetou, who has had long experience in this kind of work.

At this meeting lion. John L. Bretz of Jasper, was elected second vice-president. There still remains one director to be selected and which will be from Pike countyshould any of our citizens conclude to serve on the board of directors. This county should be represented on the board of directors. Col. Boone and President Kirkby are sanguine that the road will be built and that if everything moves along as it looks uow, that work on the building of the roadbed will be commenced sometime next April on this division, which will be the starting point for the Black Diamond system. The citizens of Washington and Jefferson townships should wake up and work if they want this railroad. The editor attended the Vincennes meeting and secured several maps of the proposed line of railroad, and those who have an interest in the railroad can secure one by calling at this office.
