This is the time for the democracy of Patoka township to put on their a&nor and tight for the government of the township. It is the year when the township needs a change,demands it and will see that the same is coming. There are many things in the administration of township affairs that need regulating. This is true as regards national politics. James Duncan, Chairman. A. J. Heuring, Sec.

Logan Township Convention. Notice is hereby given that a democratic mass convention will be held at tenter School 'House, Logan township, on SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1900. for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to be voted for at the November election. All voters who will affiliate with the democrats in the election this year are invited to take part. The convention will be called to order at one o’clock p. m. Gus Ropp, Chairman. Presto change. And the president of the United States changes his mind from free trade with Porto Rico to a fifteen percent tariff. Indiana republicans had a cat and parrot time at Indianapolis this week. The state chairman ruled things to suit himself and the outside counties took their jnedicine like little men. The Porto Rico government law is not what was intended. There will! be several changes in it before this session of Congressjdoses. It does not altogether suit the combinations and carpet baggers. Horace Ely is well qualified for town clerk. Be is well educated and a graduate of law and would fill the position in a firstclassjpanner. He is known to all the pelSple of the town and will receive a liberal support from the voters of other parties. The republican bosses have dictated what the state platform shall be and who the chairman of the convention shall be. ' The delegates will attend a cut-and-dried-affair made up at Washington, r. C. It will probably be like some of the work done in Pike county republican circles.

Cooney Backes should be elected marshal of Petersburg. Be is sober and industrious, and has lived here all his life and is a home boy. Who are to be the census enumerators in Pike county? The chairman should make the announcement as soon as possible. The boys on the outside would like to know. The republican party has levied trib-1 ute for favors from the trusts. The combines will put up $<5,200,000 for the campaign fund. How does the farmer and mechanic like that. They must foot the bills. The republican bosses of Pike coun-1 ty are having some trouble in making j their slate for the county convention. The out townships are tired of being dictated to and will try and smash | the sl&te that has been formulated. The “big 4” is in trouble.

Moke scandal is leaking out. United States army officers are drawing double salaries. That is they draw salary from Uncle Sam and also from the Cuban funds. Senator Bacon introduced a resolution providing for an investigation of the facts. Indiana has an anti-trust law and the governor of the state has been doing some talking about trusts, but the law is not being enforced. The republican party dare not oppose the trusts for fear that the combinations will not put up thq campaign funds. Charles Jones is a self-made young man. He is industrious and a hard worker and would fill the officeot town treasurer acceptably to all the people of the city. He is wejil qualified in every particular. When you go to cast your vote on May 7th don't forget him. Taxes are too high in Petersburg with nothing to show for what is paidr What is the use of having four or five thousand dollars on hands and then increasing the .levy. Elect, business men on the council who will look after the best interests of the people and tax-payers. The democrats of Patoka township will meet at Winslow’, and the democrats of Marion township will meet at the Spraggins school house Saturday for the purpose of nominating township tickets. There are splendid men in each of the townships asking for the nominations and good tickets will be nominated that will command the votes of all parties. The Senate committee on commerce has decided to force the ship subsidy steal through that body, regardless of the fact that the recent republican Senate caucus decided not- to take it up at this session. It seems that the ship builders refuse to contribute to the fall campaign fund unless they are given at least this much earnest of the good faith df the republican party. - «

The voters irrespective of party affiliations are all well pleased with the nomination of Cooney Backes for marshal as they know that he is a sober and trustworthy young man and who is qualified for the position in every way.. He is one of the popular young men with all classes who always have a good word for him, and in his race last year for marshal he was only defeated by four votes. He should be elected this year. In this issue appears the announcement of Orace D. Harris of Jefferson township, as a candidate for the democratic nomination for county coroner subject to the decision of the democratic convention. Mr. Harris is a well known young man of Otwell and is engaged in the furniture trade, being5 the junior member of the firm of N. Harris & Son. He is very popular with the people of that section of the county and a hustler. Nothing cbuld more surely show the steady increase of public sentiment in favor of the election of senators by direct vote of the people, than the adoption by the House of a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment for so electing seators, by a vote of 240 to 15. A similar resolution has been adopted by the House in a previous Congress but not by such a large vote. Whether the Senate will respond to public sentiment by adopting this resolution is yet to be seen, but it doubtful. Senator Wellington has formally left the Hanna-McKinley party, and made this announcement: “I was opposed to the permanent acquisition of the Philippines, and to the 15 percent duty on Porto Rican imports to the United States. This being my position, I do not intend to support a platform that is against my convictions j in such important particulars. I do not intend to remain a member of the republican national committee, nor to attend the national convention.” There are numerous prominent republicans in both branches of Congress who believe just as Senator Wellington does, but whether anv of them will show that they have the courage of their convictions by following his example, remains to be seen.

Pric« of Trust Products in this Country and England. The following table is a supplement to the letters which have already appeared in this series and little explanation is therefore needed. All the prices are recent, having been obtained during the past mouth. Great care has been used to present prices that are fairly to be compared; that is, to select corresponding grades and dates in each instance. In every case the protective tariff fosters a trust:

Some of them are exported and sold abroad at the foreign price, while our people pay extra. “Of course they do,” said one manufacturer, “what else is a protective tariff for?”' If the promises of party leaders who imposed the protective duties, are to be honored, then protection upon the above articles and many others like them must be removed. No Right to Ugliness. The woman who is lovely in face, form and temper will always have friends, but one, who would be attractive must keep^er healths If she is weak, sickly and all run down she will be nervous and irritable. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pimples,blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich complexion. It will make a goodlooking, charming woman of a rundown invalid. Only 50 cents at the Ste^rnes Drug Co. For the Farmer. Thus queries the Wichita Democrat, and it answers the questions for the benefit of those who think a slight increase in wages makes up for a large increase in prices: Do you know’ that it requires 50 per cent more wheat to buy a stove than it did ip 1890? That it requires 20 bushels more corn to buy a wagon than it did in 1890? That it requires 100 per cent more corn or wheat to buy a copper kettle than in 1890? That it requires twice as much corn to purchase a coil of rope as in 1890? That it requires 75 per cent more corn to buy a hoe, a rake or shovel or spade or bolt than in 1890? That a set of common wheels cost $7 in 1890 and nOw cost $22.50? That the price of cultivators is higher by $3 to $1? That galvanized barbed wiye costs from $4.00 to $4.50 a hundred pounds more than in 1890? The rates of freight are back to the exorbitant figures that caused the popular revolt in legislation a few years ago? That McKinley prosperity comes high, but the trusts and corporations must have it?
