The state am! non-state schools question will no <!oubt come up at this session of the legislature. Japan under the gold standard; is almost bankrupt. That is the condition the United States will be,in if silver is not remonetized. ■SB What is the need of a large standing army unless it is to give the army contractors a chance to sell goods to the government at good round prices. The democratic platform is broad enough to take in all classed of people who believe that the government should be run in the interest of the whole people and not for the classes. The “third house” of the legislature is beginning to get in its work. The lobbyists should tie fired and not allowed about the State house'or within one hundred yards of the statesmen.

The franchise grabbers want the government to control the Phillippines so that they can get in their work on the innocent and unsophisticated foreigners. They can be easier worked than the American people. George B. Quigley editor of the Newburgh Leader, is probably the oldest editor „ in Southern Indiana. He' celebrated his 75th anniversary last Tuesday. May he live to the age of a century and then some. Mr. Thomas Bracket Reed’s reference to -our Filipino fellow-citizens as “vellowbellies,” and his statement that they are to be paid for at t 3-4 cents a pound, indicate that the Speaker of the House inclines to treat the expansion with levity. \ Why is it that millionaires, trust combinations and corporations are opposed to an income tax and in favor of a large standing army? j- This question certainly should be easily answered by any gold bug organ who stands in favor of such institutions and preaches the doctrine. The IudianA legislature has done but little, if anything, 4is yet, except to rnuke the appropriation to pay the expenses of the session and create a few new places for the chronic office seekers and city politicians. The boys who do the work in the country districts have been entirely forgotten. The “hard workers” of Pike have not received their reward. The producing class of the country are willing to stand upon- the platform as enunciated at Chicago in 1895. Why not? It will give relief to the people. The bondholders and trusts are how reaping a harvest. Why not the farmer and the v^age- earner stand upv for his rights and vote fur that which will most benefit him. Voters, commence to dine up and vote for your interests. i . The insurgents of the Philippines are not going-to surrender to the Americans as easily as was at first supposed; They have been fighting for the control of the islands for many years and desire to control them instead of the United States. The situation is very grave at the present time and it looks as if Uncle Sam will either have to conquer the4rebeis or give control. .The expansionists can think the matter over.

The republican newspaper fraternity |iave been doing their best since 1896 to “kill” Bryan off,shut for some reason or ather the honorable gentleman is becoming more popular every day. Last Friday he delivered two speeches at Cincinnati, one before the Duckworth club and the other to the members of tne board of trade. Saturday night he addressed one of the largest gatherings ever held in Chicago. And' the world do move. 1 Peculiar that within the second year of prosperity and confidence that wheat should be less than one dollar per bushel. During the Leiter speculation when wheat reached $1.87 per .bushel the average republican editor swelled up and gave all the credit to Hanna, McKinley & Co., but since it has gone down to about 60 cents, the swelling has disappeared. They agree now, that the campaign is oyei, that Liverpool controls the markets of this country just as same as the English bondholders control the money market of this country. The talk of an an opera house is now talked of stronger than ever before. Said a citizen to our reporter the Other day in talking of the scheme: ‘‘I will be one who will take five tickets at each for the first performance in a new opera house. Three hundred tickets ought to be bought at that price by the citizens of Petersburg for the purpose of having an opera house. The town needs one where public meetings can be held and for the amusement going people. It might be possible that more tickets than that number c< ul l be sold.” The scheme is a go >d one for sou e £ne who has sufficient capital to build a good opera house. Let so: e of our real estate holders Watt I uve the meins think the matter it r.

The managers of the pie counter of the Indiana legislature failed to recognize the old soldiers in giving out fat positions. The managers were looking out for the younger generation of pot house politicians. The Democrat is the largest paper published in Pike county. It contains eight pages each week of the latest news from all parts of the world. The loo|l. department contains all the home news*.- Get all the news by reading the Democeat. It is time that the republican congress revise the tariff so that it bring in sufficient revenues to pay the actual running expenses oWhe government. If the foreigner pays the tax make him pay it and stop the war revenue drain on the people as the war is now over. The republican press should sec that this is done at once.

What is demanded now more than ever is that men should be elected to congress who will work for the interests of the whole people and not for a few millionaire corporations and gold lenders. For several years past unless a man had a political pull and would make promises he stood no show of election. There seems to be an idea prevailing at this time that a mighty change will take place in 1900 when the voters get another chance. Pike county citizens might just as well talk on the subject of good roads os the people of other sections of Southern Indiana. it is true that there is not as much gravel and stone here as in other localities, but what there is should be utilized. If a little prospecting was done probably a good quality of gravel might be founds Near Clark’s Station a good quality of limestone can be secured which would make a splendid yoad when crushed and put onto « sufficient depth. There may possibly be other places in the county where a good quality of stone could be found. Agitate the matter. _ The year 1898 was as a dose of poison to the democratic party. To all intents and purposes it killed the rabid und vociferating element of democracy. No one how complains of hard times. Bryan himself can now see beauties in plutocracy. He counts the smiles ami benedictions of such men as Andrew Carnegie, and the one gallus democratic editors of the country applaud. The way of an average democrat is quite a. hard one. Republican prosperity is too much for the unterrified.--Petersburg Press. Perhaps these are prosperous times. If they are tins Press should revise its plates before publishing and cut out those items that refers to assignments and bankruptcy. Preaching prosperity and business failures don’t go well together. Prosperity where art thou? _

There is a great ilea! of talk about the erection of a new fire alarm bell. Manager McClurkin of the telephone exchange in a conversation with our reporter the other day offered a very good suggestion. It is to place the bell in the court house tower and put a striker on the bell which can be worked from the exchange office. In this way fires could be located at once in any part of the city by going to the nearest residence having a phone and calling up the exchange. The firemen could be notified and the •alarm given at the same time. Mr. McClurkin says the cost would be very reasonable for putting in the appraatus and no charges would be made by the exchange forgiving the alarms. The town trustees should investigate this matter at once. By placing the bell in the court house tower it would inconvenience none of the citizens by having the bell placed near their residences. ——■ ■ mi ,„■■■ , , After “working” the old civil war fake as long as people would carry banners and shout themselves hoarse over a dead issue, President McKinley and his party associates chdose the opportune time of the closing of a foreign war in which all sectious have patriotically engaged, to visit the south, and after indulgence by the president of a series of gushing platitudes of “peace and reconciliation” that were ten years late, from the fact that the people of the sections were already reunited and had been for years, and the “Rebellion” long laid away in the grawt$ forgetfulness as a feature of politics; the president and his party, after profiting as long as possible bykeeping alive those same irritating questions, will claim all the credit of the4‘mel-i lowing influences of time,” and the logic of events, as they have of the inception, conduct, and result$>of a war into which the leaders of that party were virtually forced by the demands of a patriotic people.— Huntington Democrat.

UUL’. r t cm-;,- , ,-r.r ■ ■ , = Col* W. J. Bryan’s Address* The Duckworth dob of Cincinnati, gare its annual banquetdast Friday night. The date was early, so as to hare Col. Willliam J. Bryan present, as be responded to a toast at the Jackson banquet in Chicago the nest night. This club has given many notable banquets, but the one Friday night was the most distinguished in its history, because of the presence of Col. Bryan. Democratic leaders from all over the state held conference with him during the day, joining the large reception given Col. Bryau at the chamber of commerce at noon. Over 400 plates were turned at the Gibson House, and the decorations were elaborate. After the addresses of retiring President Louis Reemlin and President elect Gideon C. Wilson and Mayor Tafel, Edward Kibler and Judge William H. Jackson, the guest of honor, William J. Bryan, was introduced amid a storm of

applause. i After diseussiug the Chicago platform and emphasizing the 16 to 1 plank, Col. Bryan took new questions that hare grown out of'the war. He called attention to the president’s recommendation of a larger army and insisted that the army should be divided in two branches, the array for domestic use in the United States, which, he said, did not need to be increased, the array of. occupationV'which is tempora* nly necessary for use outside of the United States. He saidthat^fhe army of occupa* |ion should be.i-ecruited at once, in order to relieve the volunteers, hut that the term of service should be short, because the nation’s policy is not yet settled. He suggested that demand for an increase in the array mjg&t be considered as the first fruit of that vjrictory to which the republicans pointed wjjth so much pr^e last November. Turning to the questioned annexation, he insists that the natiop hti not yet decided what to do with the Phil\ ippine Islands. He spoke in part as follows:! The sentiment of the people upon any great questiph must be measured during the day| of deliberation and not during the hours of excitement. A good man will sometimes be engaged in a fight, but it is not reasonable to expect a judicial opinion from him until be has had time to wash the blood off his face. I have seen a herd of gentle, mild-eyed kine transformed into iuluriated beasts by the sight and scent of blood, and I have seen the same animals quiet and {>eaceful again in a few hoars. We ^ave much of the animal in us still in spite of our civilizing processes, It is not unnatural that our people should be more sanguinary immediately after a battle than they were before, but it is only a question of time when reflection will restore the conditions which existed before this nation becamfe engaged in the war with Spain. \^£hen.men are excited they talk about what theycan do; when they ate calm they talk about wha tthey ought to do. If the president rightly interpreted the feelings of the people when they were intoxicated by a military triumph we shall appeal from “Philip drunk to Philip sober.” The forcible annexation of the Philippine Islands would vote a principle of Amerieau public law so deeply imbedded in the American raitfed that until a year ago no public man would have suggested it. . It is difficult to overestimate the influence which such a charge in our national policy would produce on the character of our people. Our oppouents ask. Is our nation not great enough to do what Englaud, Germany aud Holland are doing? They enquire. Cannot ye govern colonies as well as they? §her we ean govern colonies as well countries can is not material; the estion is whether we can in one icre deyvlope the theory that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed and at the same time inaugurate, support and defend in the other hemisphere a government whict^le* rives its authority eutirely from superior force. And, if these two ideas of govern

ment cannot live together, which one shall we choose? To defend forcible annexation on the ground that we are carrying out a religious duty is worse than absurd. The {Bible teaches us that it is more blessed to give than receive, while the colonial policy is based upon theJdoctrine that it ;is more blesseJhto take thantoieave. I am afraid that the imperialists havevconfused their beatitudes, 'jl once heard of a rtian who mixed up the parable of the Good Samaritan with ^Ke parable of the sower, and in attempting to repeat the former said: “A man went from Jerusalem to Jericho and as he went fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up and choked him.” We enter the Spanish war- as peacemakers, i Impearialists have an indistinct recollection that a blessing has been promised to the peacemaker and also to the meek, but their desire for more territory has perverted their memories so that as they recall the former, it reads, “blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall inherit the earth.” Annexation cannot be defended on the ground that we shall find a pecuniary profit in the policy. The advantage which may come to la few individuals who hold the offices or secure valuable frnchises cannot properly be weighed against the money expended in governing the Philippines, because the money expended will be paid by j those whp pay taxes. We are not yet in a j position to determine whether the people of the Utiited States will bring back from the Pitippines as much as they sent there. There is an old saying that it is not profitable to huy a lawsuit. Our nation may learn by experience that it is not wise to purchase the right, to conquer a people. Spain under compulsion gives us a quitclaim to the Philippines in return for $20,000,000, but she does not agree to warrant to defend our title as against the Philip

-' U.r pines. To boy land Is one thing; to bay people is soother. Land is inanimate, and makes no resistance to a transfer of title; the people are adliuate and sometimes desire a voice in their own affairs. Bat wheather mesured by dollars and cents, if the conquest of the Philippines would prove profitable it would certainly prove embarrassing to those who still hold to the doctrines which underlie a republic. Military rule is antagonistic to obr theory of government. The arguments which are used to defend it in the Philippines may be used to excuse it in toe United States. Under military rule much must be left to the discretion of the military governor, and this can only be justified ou the theory i that the governor knows mure than the people whom be governs, is better acquainted with their needs than they are themselves, is entirely in sympathy with them, and is thoroughly honest and unselfish in his desire to do them good. Such «. combination of wisdom, integrity nod love is difficult to find, and the republican party will enter upon a hard task U hen ':t starts out to select suitable military governors for our remote possessions. Even if the party had absolute cor Silence in its great political manager Senator Hanna, it must be remembered then the people of Ohio have compelled him to erve them in the United States, and that inferior men must be intrusted with the distribution of justice and benevolence among the ration’s dark-skinned subjects in tire Pacific. jy If we enter upon a colonial policy we must expect to hear the com mand “s lence” issuing with, increasing emphasis from the imperialists. When the discusshn of fundamental principles is attempted in the United States. If a member of congress attempts to criticise any injustice perpetrated by a government official against a helpless people, he will be warned to. keep silent, lest his criticisms encourage resistance to American authority in the Orient. If an orator, on the fourth of July, dares tospeak of inalienable rights, or refers with commendation to the manner in which our forefathers resisted taxation without representation: he will be warned to keep silent, lest his utterances excite rebellion among distant subjects. If we adopt a coloninal policy and pursue the course which excited the revolution of 1776, we must muffle the tones of the old Liberty Bell, and commune in whispers when we praise

the patriotism of our forefathers. We cannot afford to desl x>y the Declaration of Independence; we cannot afford to erase from our constitutions, state and national, the bill of rights; we have not time to examine the libraries of the nation and pufge them of the essays, the speeches and the books that defend the doctrine that, law is the crystalization of public opinion, rather than in emanation from physical power. But even if we could destroy erery vestige of the laws which are the outgrowth ofjhe immortal law penned by Jefferson; if we conld obliterate every written word that has been inspired by the idea that this is “a government of the people, by the,people and for the people,” we cannot tear from the heart of the human race the hope which the American Republic has planted there. The impassioned appeal, “give me liberty or give me death,” still echoes around the world. ^ In the future, as in the past, the desire to be free will be stronger than the desire to enjoy "a mere physical existence. The conflict between right and might will continue here and everywhere until a day is reached when the love of money will no longer sear the national conscience, and hypocrisy no longer hide the hideous features of avarice behind the mass of philanthropy.
