One Year, in advance. 81* Months, in advance *1 On jo Entered at the postoftUvHp Petersburg for transna teuton through the 'TtjuUIs as secondclass matter. \ FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1900. The imperialistic papers are up a tr^e. They are afraid to open up their batteries in certain sections of the country for fear of losing the German vote. ;■ Caleh Powers, secretary of state of Kentucky, was found guilty of complicity in the murder of Governor William Goebel. The jury brought in a verdict of life imprisonment. President McKinley hasten^ to haul down the American flag in Alaska and to surrender American territory to Great Britain, thus putting fhousands of Americans at the mercj John Bull. But jierish the thought that its protection should be removed from the harm of the Sultan of Splu. Hon. James A. Hemenway. republican candidate for congress, has served six years in congress at £>,000 per year and wants a fourth term. A fourth term will not go and thestates- . man will be retired at the November election, and Col. Alfred Dale Owen will serve the people of the First district in congress. The democratic ticket is complete from top to bottom. The township tickets atfe nearly all made up in Pikq county with the exception of Clay , and Washington townships. The national, state, district and county tickets are made up and are composed of splendid men in whom the people have the.utmost confidence.

The (iibson county populists held their convention at Princeton Saturday. The convention unanimously adopted the following resolution: •‘Recognizing that Col. Alfred Dale Owen is on old soldier an^ stands for that which promotes the interest and common good of the people, we heartily endorse him for congress." According to present plans'‘Teddy” Roosevelt’s grand consolidated wild west show will open the season on the Pacific coast and gradually work its way eastward, finishing its itinerary in New York shortly before the election. “Buffalo Bill,” "Pawnee Bill” and other amusement purveyors in the same line, must look out foi their laurels. That Mr. Bryan has not lost his hold upon the people is admitted by his most rabid opponents. In the four years since the struggle of ISiKihe has traversed the country from end to end, addressing thousands upon thousands of listeners of every shade of political belief and the result is an overwhelming confidence in his'downright and upright sincerity of purpose. Ayd his many frank utterances as appearing in pfint have only tended to strengthen that confidence. Horjesty and sincerity then are generally recognized as making up a large part of Mr. Bryan's character. — Pittsburg Post.

The editor of the Press and who is also the chairman of the republican party, puts the republicans .of Washington township on probation for the next two years, and if they act right and carry themselves according to the standard set up they will be eligible to ask for office two years hence. The chairman took an active part in defeating Joe Patterson and Isaac Higgins for nominations at the republican convention. They were both from Washington, township. Head what the chairman has to say and then send fof a wheel: There is a strong sentiment among the repubticans'of Washington township to work this fall to redeem themselves from the odium of UW. Two years ago manv of the republicans of Washington township voted for several democratic candidates. As a result this township was rebuked in fhe recent re publican county convention. If Washington township shows up all right in the election this tall, it will be impossible to prevent the nomination of any man that the township will ask tor in me. Eet every man who is a republican put his shoulder to the wheel and push. _ The county convention is over and it now becomes the duty of every democrat to put his shoulder to the wheel and work to elect the ticket nominated Wednesday. The ticket is composed of men who are thoroughly competent in every way to make efficient officers and will look to the best interests of the tax-payers at all times I and under all circumstances. Lay! aside all your prejudices. All of the j candidates before the convention! could not be nominated, and that be- j ing the fact there should be.no bad1 feeling exist. The gentlefnen before i the convention were all worthy men. j and all will now work for their sue-\ cessful opponents in the coming elec- j tion. Let every democrat work for! the success of the national, state,! county and township tickets and a! great victory will be won in Pike j county. Work together for success. |

WILLIE AND HIS PAPA. • t MV . A.

“Don’t be afraid, Willie. Papa can hold you and Teddy up; papa is vrr: •toon*.’*—New York Evening Journal.

Colonel Owen. No man in the First congressional district would more ably represent the people in congress than Colonel Alfred D. Owen. By heredity and by training he is oue of the plain people. In his life he has lived -up quietly and simply to the highest idealsof citizenship. The-wail of the slave, the cry of distress in Cuba appealed to him not in vain. The veteran of the war of 1800, was one of the tirst to volunteer in 1808. In his dealings with his fellows he has shown the same sympathy for those in need of aid and comfort. The soldiers of his command worshipped him, his fellow townsmen regard him so highly that they cast party to the winds and asked him to be their mayor. Colonel Owen comes from a family distinguished for education and philanthrophy. libbert Owen, his grandfather, started life as a workman in a cotton mill, was rapidly advanced to a superintendent and in 1800 bought the New Lanarek mills, where he set an idefcl for employers that remains today as an example unexcelled. He worked for shorter hours for the workmen, and fought against child labor, though it was to his advantage to use children in the mill. Later he established the co-operative community in ^’ew Harmony to carry out more fully his views of the common brotherhood of man. .* The father of Colonel Owerr was America's tirst geologist. He discov-1 ered the beneficent properties of the hot baths at Hot Springs, Arkansas, ' and his tirst thought was to make the ^ springs of advantage to all the people. On his recommendation the government established free baths there. So Colonel Owen comes honestly by those sentiments of humanity that ] have endeared him to his large circle of acquaintances. When the war broke out. the horrors of slavery touched his heart. He was one of the four men first to enlist from P^sey count}’. He was mustered out of service August 20, 18fi.>. He i

was bneof the last to leave the ranks, i He started as a private and by sheer | force of ability rose to the rank of colonel. Again when Cuba called, he was among the first to respond. He tendered his services to the governor, regardless of commission, but the governor thought younger men should go to the front. Colonel Owen ran for j auditor of Posey county twice. He received twice the majority of his closest rival on the ticket. He carried the^ county by TOO when the rest of the ticket received from 200 to 500. Again the people of Mount Vernon, tired of inisrule, called upon him to run for mavor. At a pecuniary sacrifice he complied. The town is 200 republican, a larg>e majority for a small town, but he overcame it and was elected by a handsome vote. Such is the opinion of Colonel Owen as shown by the people who know him best. He is a man of independence of thought and the courage of his convictions. His sympathies are with, the commqp^jeople. He is plain,mod-1 est and unassuming. Because of these qualities of heart amf'mind, the democrats have turned to him /with confidence as their standard bearer and believe that no corruption fund can be large enough to defeat him this fall.-—Evansville Courier.

Roosevelt vs Roosevelt. In a speech delivered at Minneapolis July 17, Governor 1 looseveIt said: “A more wicked absurdity than the Kansas City proposition for dealing with the Philippines was never enunciated by the representatives of a political party. “ Here is what the Kansa^ ity platform says: We are not opposed to territorial expansion when it takes in desirable territory which can be erected into states in the Union and whose people are willing' and tit;,to become American citizens. In his volume entitled “Life Work of Thomas H. Benton,” on page Governor lloosevelt hast this to say: We favor expansion by every peaceful and legitimate means. But; we are unalterably opposed to seizing or purchasing of distant islands to be governed outside the constitution, and whose people can never become citizens. Not only Columbia, but also the Red River of the North, and the Saskatchewan and Frazer, as well, should lie wholly without our limits, less for our own sake than for the sake of the men who dwell along their banks. Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba would as states of the American union, hold positions incomparably more important, grander and more important, grander and more dignified than they can eyer hope to reach either as independent communities or as provincial dependencies of a foreign power that regards them with a kind of tolerance akin to contemptuous indifference. Of course, ho one would wish to see these or any other settled communities now added to our domain by force; we want no unwilling citizens to enter our union. The time to have taken the lands was before settlers came into them. European nations war for the possession of thickly settled districts, which if conquered, will for centuries remain alien and hostile to the conquerors. We, wiser in our generation, have

reizeu me waste sontute that lay near us, the limitless forests and neverending plains and valleys of the great, lonely rivers, and have thrust our own sons into them to take possession, and a score of years after each conquest we see the conquered land teeming with a people that is one with ourselves. Y* e thus see Roosevelt the candidate and Roosevelt the author in conflict. In other words, Roosevelt the candidate condemns the views of Roosevelt the author as a “wicked absurdity. Evansville Courie r. Organize Clubs September I., In order that a fight for the rescue of the country from republican policies may be carried on everywhere with vigor and earnestness we urge all citizens throughout the United1 States who are willing to support the Kansas City platform to meet in their respective communities on Saturday ' afternoon or evening, September 1st, j for the purpose of organizing city or | precinct democratic clubs where such clubs have not already been organized. These organizations being democratic should avoid ostentation and extravagance. The fight must be carried on by American citizens in behalf of American principles and there should be no delay in perfecting club organization. When a club is. organized the secretary should at once send to W. R. Hearst, ‘president of the national association of democratic clubs, No. 1370 Broadway, New York, the name of the club, roster of officers, date of organization and number of members. The address is signed by William J. Bryan, Adlai E. Stevenson, James K. Jones and W. R. Hearst.
