Th* income tax lav would now come in /joite handily in paving the expenses of var. It should be pfrsaad at this session of .congress. Wn is terrible, but? what a thrashing Spain will gel when Dewey, Lee, Schley. Wheeler and Sampson get a good whack at fbe Dons. Tar. war revenue bill is now in force. All bank checks, notes and other instruments given must now bear a stamp. Bear this in mind. Tbe people orv growing very tired of the gold standard with its low prices for products. Gold standard and high tariff are mighty poor things to tie to, especially for the laboring man. To* republican state convention will he held August 3rd and 4th at Indianapolis. ft is about time for the chairman of the Republican committee of Pike county to coll a convention to select delegates. Tbs American soldier has his fighting Rtothes on at present, and the Spaniards Mill soon find out that the hoys mean to Ught when they go after them. The engagements thus far have proved that they m? fob*** «*Kl will pot run.

* * * The democratic party favored the extension and perpetuating of slavery in the Upited States, but its cense died on a hundred battlefields from Ft. Sampter to Appomattox. The democratic .party favored secession, hot the bullets of Northern patriots placed in a timely grave that ugly and damnable policy that cost so,much treasure, both in blood and iVs money, that caused so many northern heroes to lie in rebel prison |*ns, dying after a most wretched, miserable imprisonment, and that caused many a young man to leave borne in the vigor of manhood that his bones might enrich the soil of squtheru fields. * * *—Petersburg Press. The above is a sample of bloody shirtisro that stinks. It hips been -stated upon numerous occasions that there were more democrats went to the front in the war of the rebellion than there were republicans. The leading generals of the army were democrats at the time, among them Grant, Hancock, .Logan, McClellan and others. Thousands of the veterans are yet living who helped put slavery out of existence. Many were democrats then and are still democrats. A large number of the soldiers who went from this county to put down slavery were democrats and are democrats still. They were not rebels nor were they in sympathy with slavery. Some of those democrats who enlisted never returned to their homes in the north. Thompson, such rot as the above is very poor argument, when you take into consideration that if it were pot for the help of the democrats who eulisted in the nation's peril at that time it might have ended in the overthrow of the best nation on earth. It was not a war between republicans and democrats but a war for the sake of enslaved humanity. Today this nation is at war with Spain for the cause of humanity. There is no sectionalism known but democrats and republicans alike have enlisted in the United States army to free the Cubans. The people of today are too enlightened to believe such twaddle.

Senator (.'handler, republican of New Hampshire, created quite a sensation, in a speech on the war revenue bill, which was before the senate, in which he accused Mr. McKinley of duplicity in connection with the silver question, and jumped all over Secretary Gage for his efforts in attempting to- irrevocably commit the administration to the gold standard. He read a letter that he wrote to Mr. McKinley last September, predicting the failure of the bimetallic commission headed by Senator Wok-ott and >tated that it had never been auswered. lie recalled the fact that Mr. McKinley. Senator Allison and other prominent republicans had upon several occasions voted for silver and was quite sarcastic at their expense. He incidentally referred to the republican party not having hesitated to reorganize the supreme court in order to assert the right of the United States to issue irredeemable paper money, and said that national houor was not in duuger by the free coinage of silver if it was not endangered by the issue of paper. The democratic county ticket is one of the best ever nominated by the party. Individually and collectively it is conceded by all parties to be well selected. The men composing it are all well .known and held in the highest esteem by the people. Those who have been 4a office for the past two years have given excellent satisfaction and looked after the interests of the tax-payers the same as they do their own private business affairs. They have been accommodating in office and treated all citizen.- with the utmost cordiality. There is no reason why every man should not be elected by handsoiue majorities at the November election and-will be without a doubt.

Of r- present revenue law, commonly called the Diugley bill, if not a war measure. It is far from that. The Dingley bill wasa very {icaceful, quiet exceedingly pacific spoliation of the earniugs of labor, and the products of land for the benefit of the clustered groups of monopolies, who dictated its rates and schedules. It afforded its beneficiaries unlimited resources for pelf and pillage, but it yielded a return of reveuue so scant as to be insufficient, even in times of peace. Its authors, in their care for the trusts, forgot the treasury,--Senator Turpte. ; __ If a silver dollar is worth 100 cents why do the bondholder* kick about taking them in payment of the interest on the bopds they hold against the government? The government by enactment of laws say they are legal tender and of face value for all debts, both public and private, but from unaccountable reasons the bondholder says he won't take them, but must have gold, and gold be gets. Why not pay in coin? The democratic state convention was the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in Indiana. The ticket nominated is very strong ami the various districts of the state is.-ue will be found a fall report oI the convention, together with the resolutions, which declare for 16 to 1 without the aid or consent of any other nation. The gold bugs have become Yery quiet in the last few weeks, especially since the democrats compelled congress to pass a bill to coin the seuiorage. This is a great victory for the silverites. who are becoming more numerous every day. The vote this fall will prove that they are still in the ring and to stay until the victory is won in 1900. The republican cry of 1696 was open the mills and the factories. It is about time to open up something else as the factories remain in about the same condition. Why not open the mints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver as proposed by the laboring masses of the people. Both Spain and the United States are upon the gold standard basis, and yet both have come down to silver and tha* metal has advanced in price. On the fifth page of this

The Pike County Democrat is always howling about democratic eoouomy. Bro. Stoops should explain to his readers whv he chained the county abopt 440.00 for publishing the tax rate some months ago when the law does not allow him a single cent for it. Nor did the county commissioners order the tax rate -p ublished.r- * * * Petersburg Press. There is no explanation needed in <the matter whatever further than that Thompson did not publish the tax rate. The editor of the Democrat was ordered to publish the rate of taxation by the county treasurer. During the four years that Sylvester Beach was in office the rate ol taxation was published in the Petersburg Press. C. M. Krebs and Will D. Crow were the editors of the lumper, the former having published the rate twice and the latter upon two occasions. Upon two occasions the rate was published in the Press and News, republican praters,and the board of commissioners, which was republican, paid for it. If there,is no law requiring the tax rate published, was it legal wheu it was published in the Press under republican administrations? Thompson, your kicking comes with very poor grace unless you go buck a few years and kick the republican boards of county commissioners for allowing sueh claims and the republican editors. Further along in the article the Press says, “If Stoops got $40 that he is not eutitled to then the commissioners should ask him to refund it.” Now, Thompson, if the Press office has received pay for identically the same work ought it not refund it? The rate of taxation has been published in at least one of the county {tapers for many years past, and there is not a county in Indiana where it is not published. It is published that the tax-payers may know what the rate is on each one hundred dollar's valuation and for what purposes the money is being raised, and it is right that they should know. In the,eyes of Thompson at the present time it is all wrong that the editor of the Democrat should have received pay for publishing it, but if it were himself who had published the rate of taxation then it would have been all right. The Democrat at the present time is the official paper of the county, hence the kicking of the chairmau of the republican party.

Does it Hit l'oal The new revenue bill designed to mise war funds catches nearly every one in some manner. Brokers must pay a license of from $10 toj|50. Banks with a eapitai of $25,000 must jiay $25. . ' Bowling alleys and billiard rooms pay $o per alley or table. Cigar manufacturers pay from $6 to $24 according to their sales. ^ v Every bauk check or draft must have a 2 cent stamp attached. Stocks and bonds pay five cents per $100. A promissory note to tie valid must have a two cent stamp attached. Bills of lading require a one cent stamp to make them good. telephone and telegraph messages must pay one cent tax. A lease for one year must pay a tax of 25 cents; over three years $1. A mortgage of $^000 to $1,500 is taxed 25 cents: and 25 cents for each additional $1,000. Every sleeping car ticket is taxed 1 cent. Chewing gum is taxed 4 cents on each $1 worth. Patent and proprietary' articles eostiug 50 cents pay a tax of 5 cents, and 4 cents additional for each 25 cents increase in price. Fire insurance policies pay one-half cent on each dollar insured. Life insurance costs 8 cents bn each $100 of the policy. The stamp feature goes into effect July 1st.

Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: ‘‘I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians hkd given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters, and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued tneir use for three weeks, and am now a veil man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim/’ No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at J. R. Adams and Son’s drug store. To Teachers and Tbelr Friends. « The annual meeting of the National Educational Association will be held at Wasbmtou, D, C., July? to 12, 1898, and it is expected the attendance wtll Car exceed that of any previous year. Teachers all over the country are busily engaged preparing for this delightful trip, and after considering the advantages of the many different lines to the'‘Capital of the Nation,” the majority have decided that the scenic and historic Baltimore &Ohio Southwestern and Baltimore & Ohio “ Royal Ripe Line” is the official route.
