A vote for Harrison, it seems, was a vote for Cleveland. Commissioners' court in session Monday and Tuesday of] this week! Commissioners’ Court has adjourned a few days for the World's Fair. ’Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is now an outspoken, full- i Hedged Populist. “And still there's more to follow.’ 1 When the vote on the' repeal bill is taken yon can see why the three senators from ths Northwest were refused admission to seats in the senate. Commissioner Martindale, being an industrious man and having plenty of work at home to do, is, perhaps, not much in favor of this continued sitting of commissioner’s court. The minority in the V. S. sen-, ate represent an overwhelming majority of the people of the country and the people will uphold them in their efforts to defeat the gold-bought majority. The Democrats and 'Republicans have fused in several counties in Nebraska. Fusion conventions are called in other counties, that look much like the People’s party was organised to help the Democrats? Senator Stewart, of Ne-i vada,, has cast his lot with the' People's party and says it is useless to expect relief through any ’Other party. It is rumored about Washington that two more senators will soon follow Stewart !
If the people of the United States only knew how much of the stock of our great new paper companies is owned in England, they would not be so ready to pin their faith to what those papers say concerning the finances of this country. While Mr. Voorhees is toiling so unselfishly in behalf of the $18,000,000 free gift to the banking corporation, laboring men should be content with their lot and roll under their tongues this delectable maxim, that “you cax’t get anything unless you work for it.” Our Republican friends during the last campaign told us that a vote for Weaver was half a vote far Cleveland. Wonder what they think of it now with the Republican members of congress almost unanimous in support of the administration and every Populist opposing it with might and main. Straws show which way the wind blows. Here are a few of them: Five counties in Georgia have recently Jield eleltions to fill vacancies. Four of them chose Populist. Two counties in Missouri held elections for similar purposes and both went Democratic at the last general election. Did you ever notice how many of the names of the great daily papers* are made up of two words, such as Times-Star, Com-meicial-Journal, Globe-Demo-crat, World-Herald, etc.? If not, do so, and at the same time
observe where they stand on the money question, and who owns them. »Then you will understand the power of England in American politics. The Plutocrats are now finding out that the Populist party like Ericson’s little Monitor, was really a young giant not to be silenced by a few broad-sides of abusive epithets. The party has doubled its strength since the last election. Of seven elections to fill vacancies that have occurred lately, the Populists have carried every one of them. One county in Missouri went 300 Populist that gave a Democratic majority of 1.100 last fall. “So mote it be." There was a time when the president of the United States chose patriotic citizens to represent this government as minis-’ ters to foreign nations. It remained for Mr. Cleveland to appoint a man to the high office of Ambassador to Italy, who is in Anglo-maniac of the worst type, and who says that the United States is not a tit country for gentlemen and ladies to live in. But Mr. Van Allen contributed *50,000 to Cleveland's Campaign fund. “He's all right,’’ A great many Republican newspapers over the country are trying very hard to divide the attention of the voters to the awful tariff question. They are bound to have something to chew on and something, too,| which congress has, so far,| failed to recognite during this session. The great question before the people to-day is the financial question, still the g. p. p. organs claim that the financial. conditions of the*country are due to the tariff. - i rim Senator VoOKßees in reply ! ing to Senator Teller, says he appears in behalf of the laboring classes who are thrown out of employment; yet every labor or-; ganixation has declared for the; exact opposite of what Voorhees advocates. He also appears in behalf of the farmers, and all the organizations of farmers have declared for free silver, while Voorhees opposes it with all his power and is moving] heaven and earth to pass a meas-’ ure that he knows wUI seal the doom of silver as money. Governor McKinley said in a speech at Lancaster, Ohio, “Every dollar that is issued for the people of this country must be issued by the government of the United States. Our money must be as sound and strong and as stable as the government itself.” Thatis mighty good Populist doctrine, but coming as it does from the idbl of the goldbug national bank party, the governor need not be surprised if the Populists and silver men of Ohio doubt his sincerity and refuse to be hoodwinked into supporting him in the coming election.
The Toledo Blade of Sept. 28th remarks: One of the objects of the movement to repeal the federal election laws is to get up a partisan debate and check the growth of the Populist party in the solid south.” The Blade is doubtless right this time, but only one short year ago it insisted that the People’s party was only an annex of the Democratic party, a scheme concocted by the Confederate Brigadier, and aided and abetted by the Democratic campaign committee. The Blade has seen its error as to the purpose of the People’s party, and when the vote in Ohio this fall knocks the scale from the other eye it will see its error as to the strength of that party. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that the auditor of each county of the state shall be required to publish, in a newspaper of general circulation in his county, within ten days after the adjounment of the session of
said Board of Commissioners making allowances, a statement showing all allowances made by the County Commissioners at each term of their court, to whom allowances are made, and for what purpose. Provided, that the cost of the printing thereof shall not exceed five cents for each allowance. —Acts of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, 1893, page 342. So far the allowances of the September term of the commis* sioners’ court have not been published. The purpose of this law is to let the people know what the county board is doing with their money. Just why the auditor has failed to comply with the requirements of this law we are unable to understand. The taxpayers of this county demand the publication of the September allowances, or a reasonable excuse for not doing so. If each separate allowance can not be published for five cents, in a newspaper of general circulation in the county, or if ten days have not yet expired since the close of the September term, then is the auditor not at fault sot; this seeming neglect,
Ringing Resolutions.
XohcAnfrtrmlst. The following Y'esd'ltitions passed At * targe and intelligent meeting of farmers in Ciaycdunty, Ind.. Thursday. Sestn ifeth, and in the Evening of the same day were takbn to a public meet-; ing of citizems at Clay City where they were adopted wfthoAt a dissenting voice; Wherrmj, The blow given to the silver dollar in 1879 by the combined gold powers of Europe and America was t, blow to the business es every farmer in the land} and Whereas, The effect of that blow has been to reduce the wages of the farmers until they ham arrived at a bare living point; and Whereas, UnAAr tbe present system our Farms are likely to be confiscated completely; therefore be it Resolved, That demand the immediate passage of a law restoring the free free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Resolved, That we condemn the policy of the administration which favors the further destruction of the silver dollar. Resolved, That We are deposed to the policy Of ahy senator or representative from Indiana who will favor, by word or vote, the single gold standard or who antagonizes free coinage. Resolved, That the constitutional rights of the silver dollar, to-wit: Equality before the law, shall be maintained and to this end do we pledge our most earnest efforts. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be placed in the hands of our senators and representatives at Washington.
Washington Letter.
From our - regular correspondent, Washington, Oct. 6, 1894. Senator Morgan’s resolution directing the committee on the Judiciary to investigate and inform the senate what provisions of the act of 1837, establishing a mint and regulating the coinage of the United States, are now in force, would seem to indicate that the statement made by Representative Springer several days ago, that the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver law would leave the free coinage law of 1847 in force, was not "so chimerical as many supposed it to be. Senator Morgan is admitted to be one of the ablest lawyers in congress and he says that himself and other lawyers are of the opinion that the law of 1837 has never been repealed. Should this prove to be true the entire situation would be changed and those who are now so anxious for a vote on the Voorhees bill would swap places with the opponents of that measure.
* * * Whatever may be one’s opinion on the silver question it is impossible not to admire the indifference to public clamor of the senate. It proceeds ivith the silver debate just as though its members were not being daily abused by the press of all the financial centers. It is noticeable too, that the galleries invariably applaud sharp criticisms of the money power, and nearly every senator opposed to 'the Voorhees bill has made them, those of Senator Butler, of South Carolina, being particularly severe. The gallery doorkeepers had to suppress the applause
when he said: “The most unsafe financial adviser that con- ! gress can have is the banker of I New York, Philadelphia or New Orleans. ” * * • Although many senators and representatives would like to have congress take a recess from the last of next week until after the fall elections are held the prospect for a recess can hardly be considered bright The house will pass the bill for the repeal of the election laws next ! Tuesday and could then take a i iecess, but the senate will hardly be allowed to take a recess until the silver question is disposed of. * * * Representative Davis, of Kansas, this week, presented the Populist idea of what is most, presssingly needed by the people, in an argument made before the house committee on banking' and currency in favor of his bills providing for the issue of fractional currency and to replace' retired national bank Currency with greenbacks, and to re issue lost and destroyed treasury notes. More money for the people was the foundation of Mr. Davis’ and he quoted Ute opinion of the late Senator Bock to show that it wOnld be Safe to add to .the money hdw hi circulation withOiit ifieYeaSipg the present gold Reserve, and th'en called the attention of tffe td the’ fact that hh dfi’y Asked for an increase of $200,000,000 to take the place Of money lost _dr dJestrdyed. Mp Davis made lii& avg'Amdfit finder difficfiltlcs, As the members of the; committee hdstile to his bills did] all they cOuld to cdnfuSe him by firing question after question at him in quick Succession. * ■# i AS We ekhected, th* McCreary substitute ft&Vtte Geary Chinese ta.W lias been favorably reported to the house frdifi the foreign affairs cpminitfee, and the power and influence df Uifi administration ft to be used to push it! through as soon as the bill fori the repeal or the ejection law? is disposed. Jpf. JtapVt&filitahve of vfiiiiornia, thinks the McCreary bill entirely too lenient and says he intends to do his best to defeat it. * * * Although the house iliidiclary committee IfilA oraered that the Oates bankruptcy bill, which is almost identical with the Torrey bill, which has been before several congresses, be reported to the house, a majority of the members of the committee stated that they reserved the right to oppose or offer amendments to the bill on the floor of the house. This seems queer in view of the popular idea that bills are referred to committees to be perfected before being reported, if the committee thinks them meritorious enough to be reported favorably. * * * One of the most significant incidents of the week in the senate was Senator Dubois’ telling Senator Voorhees of his inability to pass the Repeal bill bearing his name. The Words are expressive, butjiot so much so as was the tone of voice in which they were spoken. The remarks were made in answer to Senator Palmer’s expressions of surprise that the senate was Unable to control itself, and wetfe as follows: “I agree with almost all the remarks of the distinguished senator, but I think the fact is that whenever there is a strong sentiment in favor of any measure in this country the senate will immediately respond to it. But the senate knows that it is not going to pass this bill. There is no sentiment in the senate in favor of it. I honestly believe there are not ten senators here who actually desire to pass this unconditional repeal bill. If there was a strong sentiment here in favor of it the senate would pass it. There is a manufactured sentiment outside, but that does not exist in this chamber.” Senator Voorhees’ reply was an acknowledgment of his helplessness to force a vote.
* ‘During my term of service in the army I contracted chronic diarrhoea,” says A. E. Bending, of Halsey, Oregon. “Sinclthen I have used a great amount of medicine, but when I found any that would give me relief they would injure my stomach, until Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea , Remedy was brought to my notice. I used it and will say it is the only remedy that gave me permanent relief and no bad results follow. ” For sale by F. B. Meyer, the druggist.
The Jimson Weed.
New York Sun. If “jinoigon weed" were not a weed, but a costly exotic, how it would be treasured for lawns and greenhouses. The weed, or stramonium, to give it the botanical name, is now in flower, and its fragrant, lily like blossoms, are the whiter against the vigorous looking leaves of dark green. A rare Variety has a flower of pale purple. The popular name of the plant is said to be derived from “Jamestown weed,” and the tradition is that after the destruction of Jamestowji the English fotind its ruins filled vJth thickets of this stramonium.
