Secure to the producer just compensation for his products. All manner of schemes for wildcat banking are being projected. Since the Bth of November, the Democrats have not been so clamorous for reform. Civil service reform is not being urged by Democrats to any great extent just now. When little 01 lie cracks his. whip he expects Martindale and Paris to fly into their traces. It is safe to predict that pressing public matters will be set a?ide while hungry Democrats are gorging themselves. Labor is prior to and independent of capital, therefore the more deserving of the fostering care of the government.—A. Lincoln. loud, long and piercing Democratic howl for retrenchment and reform in the public service has died away in the distance. Who would have thought the little Michigan sandlapper. Ollie, would have grown to such proportions that he would spread over a whole county.

The Civil Service Sundry bill now pending, is by far the largest in the history of our government. The Democrats are cutting down expenses with a vengeance. Of all the flapdoodle journals that fawn at the feet of Plutocracy. we know none so abject and contemptible as the Post, of Chicago. That post wont do to tie to. The twelve or fifteen thousand dollars additional expense incurred by the legislature in providing places for hungry Democrats will make necessary a further tariff reduction. The government, the banker, transporter, educator, transmitter of intelligence and then equal opportunties of all to natural resources, we can safely allow individualism to work out human destiny. A contracted money volume, falling prices, an intense struggle for bread fills up the saloons; while a full volume of money, good prices, and good conditions generally, will develop a noble manhood, and womanhood that will sweep every saloon out of existence. The best argument that can be advanced in favor of electing j .United States senators by direct

vote of the people, can be had by reading «the daily papery and noting the loss of time in our legislative bodies, and counter charges of bribery, caucusing, and general demoralization. No fusiou, no tacit understanding, no talking across the line, no “you tickle me and I'll tickle vou, M no, not a bit of it. All that we will do will be to invite them to vote our ticket. WTiile the old parties remain as i they are, we must regard both as enemies of the people, to be destroyed as quickly as possible. When Cleveland was elected in ’B4, he wrote a letter to congress, urging the repeal of the Bland silver bill, foretelling untold calamities if it wasn't repealed. Sjnce his re-election he is busying himself to have the Shermau silver bill repealed. Wall street never makes a mistake when selecting jumping jacks. Governor Matthews urged economy in every department, whereupon the Democratic reform legislature proceeded to create about forty positions for heelers that will pay S2OO a day during the session. Say, Democrats, how many more* object lessons of that kind will it require to convince you that your leaders are utterly corrupt? Can’t you learn anything?

It is indeed very unbecoming a professional man and active church member to belittle .another church and its members as did “Three Stars” in last week's Republican. “The pious editor of the whang-a-doodle variety’’ referred to by “Three Stars” had nothing to do with the articles that seemed to give such offense. They were written by parties with no pretension to piety. Go ahead, “Three Stars,” fling your dirt at us, ridicule the Pilot People’s party to your satisfaction, but for decency’s sake don’t drag a church into a fight in which not one of its members has ever said or done a single thing you refer to.

The government is the best employer in the world. Everyone is anxious to enter its service. The government is the best paymaster, everyone is whiling to be its creditor. The government is the best and cheapest banker in the world, its full legal tender dollars have never depreciated one cent, and it has furnished its people three and forty-six mill ions of good money as was over counted without the charge of one cent of interest for thirty years. The government is the best educator, cheapest transporter, best fighter and peace officer in the world. Why then hand over any of these proper functions of the government to private parties for speculative purposes? For the want of horse sense.

Daniel Pratt Baldwin.

Just now the above named gentleman is stricken with inconsolable grief. Like Rachel weeping for her children, he refuses all comfort. He has just learned that two hundred and fifty thousand persons own sev-enty-five per cent, of all the nation’s wealth, and w T hile this favored few are so highly blessed with three,fourths of everything, they pay only twenty per cent, of the taxes, whereat Daniel’s grief becomes uncontrolable. | Daoiel saw this great wrong and | left the Republican party ostensibly because it tolerated the I wrong, and went over to the ! Democrats who are going to remedy it by a two or three per cent, tariff reduction. Daniel's grief is of a spasmodic character, it comes on once in about two weeks, and when it does strike him, he hies himself to Indianapolis and lays before the Progressive Labor Club the cruel wrongs of the poor, committed by the unfeeling and ungodly rich. Daniel is seeking a remedy, and like other reformers,

. i will soon learn that the reformation of the world is the most difficult aad thankless task ever undertaken by God or man, and unless he becomes discouraged in his efforts to relieve the poor of this great inequality and unjust burden, we will give him a few pointers that he may proceed with the good work. There is a Daniel Pratt Baldwin that has a bank at Goodland (don’t suppose it is the same Baldwin) that is a paying institution, but when established it was so assessed or listed, that it only paid about seven dollars taxes, not as much as some blacksmith shops in Newton county. Now as a starter in this work of reform, making the rich pay their just share of taxes, he might look up this Baldwin that owns the Goodland bank, and if he isn’t doing better just make it everlastingly hot for him. Another pointer: There is in the town of Fowler another bank

owned by Daniel Pratt Baldwin, that is said to be a very profitable concern to the owners, but as a source of revenue to the county and state, it has been a dismal failure, paying yearly ten to twenty dollars of taxes. One would hardly think that this bank was owned by the same Baldwin, for one man would hardly be willing to do so many mean things. But whether it be the same party or not, it would be well for Daniel to see after this Baldwin too, now that he is so anxious to have the poor relieved of unjust taxation. One more case, Daniel, where you can do something in this matter in you seem to take such a deep interest. There lives in your city, Logansport, one Daniel Pratt Baldwin (there seems to be more Baldwins than good ones) who is reputed to be worth about five hundred thousand dollars, while he only pays tax on about eight thousand. Now, Daniel, he lives close to you and if this be true as charged, and w’hile we don’t know it, yet we believe it, you ought to look after him and see that he does as other good citizens do, pays his just share. Now don’t neglect to attend to these Baldwins, they need it badly. Don’t waste your energies in trying to reform a world that is beyond your reach, and neglect that where your influence is absolute. Farmers of Jasper, if you could have your tax burdens cut down to a level with the Baldwins, you that pay on an assessment of forty-eight hundred dollais would only have to pay on eighty dollars, that is, you pay sixty dollars of taxes where the Baldwins pay one dollar. The People’s party w’ants to change this and make the Baldwins pay the same that other people pay.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR.

Yoa are Afraid la Tell Ui Whe Ten are. In the last two issues of the j Republican its little twinkling, ! blinking “Three Stars” have ap- ! paren tly shot off on a tangent into ! the Zodiac and there held their . olfactories into too close proximj ity to the odoriferous department of the billy goat. Whew! how this trinity of twinklers do twinkle. Like real, falling stars. Twinkler’s course is downward; like real shooting stars he hfis “busted.” You complain of the “odor,” eh! Change your position. Be a man. Come around face to face and take the beast by the beard. Our goat presents a bold front and a fair rear; you cau attack us at either point. Choose your ground and make no more complaint about stinks, “Three Stars.” If your bent of mind and your mode of attack leads you to w’hero the “odor” is unpleasant it is not at all to your credit to turn up your nose and whine. Now, what have you really been trying to do and to say? Like a scared dog, trotting astride his t til, you have been snapping and sniveling at things seen and unseen, you have been squatting and dodging, fleeing with none pursuing, howling when neither kicked nor kicked at; your conduct has been quite “queer,” indeed. Something about you is out of line. We are satisfied that you should be treated for some physical or mental ailment. To be plain with you, Twinkler, we must say that we know T you are just a little off. Why! in your delirium you have seen billy goats, gaping alligators, have heard the commands of little bald-headed bosses; in trembling terror you have roamed the dreary regions where the w T hang-a-doodle mourncth for its frit born, ah; in your derangement you have talked of health officers, post masters, U. S. senators and ex-congressmen; in broken ands unconnected sentences you have said: “John, Jim, Dal and Nat. Positively, in the two articles you have writteq, you looked so wild and shot so scattering that of the forty-nine things you mentioned in only one of them could w r e learn what you were driving at. That one was w’here you copied the figures and arguments used by John Sherman & Co. on the currency question. This position and these figures have long ago been abandoned by your party leaders. We showed the Republican its Governor’s position on the tax law, and through yeu, “Little Stars,” it said “pious editior of the w’hang-a-doodle variety.” We say the baldheaded Republican boss taxes us $340.36 per mile for gravel road repairs; for the ring organ, you answer, “pious editor of the billy goat odor.” We told the tax payers that 19.50 for dinner and supper for an election board should not have been allowed. You, for your paper, reply: “cast not pearls before swine.” With ail the Republican’s false reasoning and false doctrines, with all its slobber and slime, never have we seen in its columns anything half so ridiculous and meaningless as this conglomerated and idiotic nothingness that comes from the pen of

PUBLIC PRINTING.

W*jr ike 'ini P»jer» are Babko* kjr Party Organs. Uoodlsnd lloralU. (0»p.) We would like to hear some good and sufficient reason why j the legal printing in the various counties of this state should not 'be let to the lowest bidder, j Why isn't it just as nonsensical jand extravagant to pay *I.OOO for printing that could be done ; for S3OO as to pay SI,OOO for : building a bridge that could be i built for *300? True, political I “organs” do a great deal of. gratuitous work for their parties, but then it is hardly fair to compel the general tax payers to renutperate them for it. It is but just and equitable to the tax payers that legal printing be given to the lowest responsible bidder in the county, circulation of the paper to be considered in deciding upon the bids. Of course, newspapers that have a “pull” at the crib, and whose perpetuity rests upon its continuance, will favor no retrenchment of this character; yet no fair-minded man, no matter what his political convictions may be, can say that the populists’ demands that the legal printing be let to the lowest bidder, made to the legislature, is anything but an honest step in the direction of retrenchment and reform—a policy to which all parties are always committed by platform pledges. Kemington Press. Several of our exchanges (party organs of course) are doing good deal of worrying over the agitation of the question of let- 1 ting legal advertising, stationary supplies, etc., to the lowest bidder. Several of these papers were taking on terribly a few months ago over the fact that the tariff was a robbery, saying that people should be allowed to buy their goods where they could get the best bargains, but in the case of public printing, where the matter comes home to themselves, they think the present plan is all right. If one is robbery the other is legalized stealing. Why should a newspaper charge so much more for doing public advertising than for advertising for its home merchants or others? And if it is right to let other contracts, consistent with good work, to the lowest bidder, why not let the public printing? The White County Democrat says “the law regulates the rates to be charged and the work belongs to the paper that made the fight for the party candidate.” The facts are that the “party organs” usually “bleed” the candidates for office, and get all the pay they are entitled to for making an angel out of an ordinary man, before the election occurs, and the tax payers should not be ..compelled to pay three times as much as the work is worth simply because the editor of that particular paper “worked” for the party candidate. There are several papers printed in nearly every county in the state, which have as large—and in many instances larger—circulation than the “party organ,” but they must have nothing to say about the manner in which the work is done. Now t , an ordinary country newspaper, such as are printed in this district, receives from S6O to SBO per year for a column of ordinary advertising —and the most of them are glad to get even that much—but when it comes to public printing or legal advertising they of course charge the full price allowed by law, *1 per square for the first insertion and fifty cents per square for each additional insertion. Nearly all legal advertisments run three weeks, and a paper having one column of 21£ inches—the length of the Press’ columns—for a full yeai‘, making the necessary changes every three weeks, would receive for the column of 28 squares an average 6f *18.66 for each issue or $970.32 for the full year. While this kind of work is worth about double what ordinary advertising is done for, it is not by any means worth the outrageous prices as shown above. The people would get just as good wrork and save thousands of dollars each year to themselves if public printing was let the same as other public contracts.

In purchasing spectacles do not patronize traveling doctors or opticians, as very few of them are honest or competent and are pretty apt to sell inferior goods, at very high prices. Dr. I. B. Washburn has a fine test case of lenses and will order you the very best of glasses, in such frames as you wish, at very reasonable rates. 1-50-ts
