A Slight Change.

With this weeks issue the editorial and business management of the Pilot is changed; the same working force is retained in the office with C. B. Harrold acting as foreman. With the additional help this change brings, we hope to make our paper more interesting to the public and more profitable to the company. Politically, we will first of all, advocate economy and retrenchment in the management of our local affairs; and in this we knowno national party organization; lower taxes for Jasper County is a matter that has nothing whatever to do with state and

national concerns. In national politics the Pilot is of course, a Populist organ, but while we advocate the doctrines of this party, we have charity and respect for those who have other political views. If by reason and sound argument we can convert the votes of this country to our way of thinking, well and good, but if reason and right are not on our side, we will in the end fail just as we should. We, on public questions, shall try to make the Pilot’b course mild and fair; avoiding, as much as possible, what is abusive and harsh. We ask of the public, aeon tinuauce of the support it has so dndly given us, promising that we will try to make ourselves more worthy of that, support in the future than we have been in the past.

Governor McKinley, in his Bangor speech denounced the new tariff law as sectional, claiming that it fostered the sugar industry in the south and oppressed the wool interest in the north. The day following this speeh wool advanced 4 cents and the sugar Democrats of Louisiana met and declared themselves out of the democratic party, because, it legislated against their interests. Will these democrats and republicans never find “where they are at?"

Hoke Smith entreats Georgians to beware of Populist doctrines. Now, who are these Georgian Populists? Are they wild, dangerous, ignorant men who have just come into the state? These Georgian Populists are natives of that state, they have helped to build up Georgia, the greatest state of the South. Many of them have, until quite recently, been Hoke Smith's political advisers and supporters; can it be that these men have suddenly embraced doctrines that are dangerous to tile state? All the fears we have of the Georgia Populists is that there are not enough of them.

The county board held a special session two weeks ago. The reason why a special session was necessary was kept a profound secret from the other county ofticials. Auditor Murray, who is an officer of the board was not even entrusted with the secret. After a star chamber session they announced that the object of the session was to contract for an iron bridge on the Pleasant Ridge road over the Iroquois river, and said contract had been awarded to Geo. M. Robinson. Now, wh wasn’t bids advertised for? Why were others prevented from competing with Mr. Robinson for the contract? If Mr. Robinson could build the bridge cheaper than anyone else he should have had the contract; otherwise he should not. If too great a price was allowed for the construction of this bridge the people should hold Commissioners Martindale and Paris strictly responsible (Tabor being absent).

’ Speaker Crisp said in his speech at Atlanta the 7th inst.: “While not professing to understand this question fully, in all its bearings, I have always been in favor of free coinage of silver. lam in favor of it now. ” i

Congressman Holman refuses joint deoate with Mr. Creeg. his Populist opponent, because, be says, they bold the same views on silver coinage. Senator Vilas, before the W isconsin Democratic state convention, speaking upon the currency question, said the monthly addition to the circulating medium produced by the operation of the Sherman' law was “no more wanted than so much cheese," and he said the demand for bimetalism was conceived wholly in the interest of silver producers and the legislation growing out of it was “nothing! but the triumph of greenback-! ism." These are the views of three • of the leading Democrats of the i United States on the silver question. They do not at all agree. In the Republican party we find the same condition. In California, Colorado and Wyoming their state platforms promise free silver without any quibling or mixing of words; further east they are not so out-spoken, and upon the Atlantic coast not a platform favorable to it is found. There is harmony on the silver question in but one party, the People's party, and in this party is the natural home of all bimetalists.

Nothing in This World Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it he measured by the cost of its production or by its value to the consumer. We are talking about an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It’s so cheap and so good you can't afford in this day of progress to be without it. There are other papers possibly as good, but none better, and none just like it. It prints all the real news of the world—the news you ■care sor —every day, and prints it in the shortest possible space. You can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day’s work too. It is an independent paper and gives all political news free from the taint of party bias. In a word—it’s a complete, condensed, clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the largest morning circulation in Chicago or the west — l2s,ooo to 140,000 a day. Prof J. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern University says: “THE CHICAGO RECORD comes as near being the ideal daily journal as we are for some time likely to find on these mortal shores. ” Sold by newsdealers everywhere, and subscriptions received by all postmasters.

What further or better evidence is needed than this that there was a scheme t© precipitate a panic, knock out silver, and deplete the treasury of its gold—all for the purpose of an excuse for issuing more bonds? And why more bonds? Ist. Togive Shylock a chance to invest in :non-taxable, interest bearing bonds. 2d. To give national banks more bonds with which to perpetuate their “best banking system.”

What better evidence is needed to prove that if the Republicans had won in 1892 we should have had the same panic (gotten up by New York and English bankers) and the same hard times that we are having now! What better evidence do the people ask to be convinced that the managers of both old parties are the paid tools of Shylocks!

Opening a watch with a knife or fingernail is needless in our day. The Keystone Watch Case Company, of Philiadelphia, Pa., furnishes free a handsome watch case opener which makes, besides, a pretty charm for the watch chain. If you can’t get one from yourjjeweler,w T eler, send to Philiadelphia. This Company is the largest of its kind in the world, and makes all kinds of cases. Its specialty is the Boss filled case. Jas. Boss invented and made the first filled case in 1859, and many of the cases then made and worn since are still intact. Later the Boss patents passed into the hands of the Keystone Company, which has the sole right to make these cases. It has also the sole right to use on its cases the patent Non-pull-out bow or ring, which prevents loss of the watch by theft or injury to it by accident. The Keystone Company does not retail, but all jew T elers sell the -Boss and other Keystone cases.

People's Party State Platform.

In general terms we endorse the principles and declarations of the Omaha platform, an 1 herewith suhn.it the platform prepared by your committee oil resolutions. the rrxA.vctAL ISSUE. We demand a national currency of ?-"0 per C ipita. including the free coinage of :-iTv< r at the ratio of ib to 1. issued by the genera 1 government only, a lull legal tender for all debts both public cue ;i: i v:u • fl-sii il-uted to the people direct « ithout the inter veniion of banking corporations in psyn. f all obligations of the goveriimmii. and demand tho Issue of noii-intr ; est bearing treasury note? of small denomination -. We declare our unalterable opposition, as a party, to bunko of issue. ...at •or nation il He also denounce the pas* and continued use of the government iiat by ccngiess to create interest-ben ring bonds. We charge that the crime of demoneji/.in? silver in ’73. bythe Republican party, fu’ iher consummated by the joint action of both tho old parties at the extra session of congress in ’93. has fully accomplished tho purpose of the monied aristocracy of the United .States and England, in placing American producers of our great staple crops on a level with the poorest paid pauper labor of the world under English control, by changing through this crime against American producei-sand laborers, the pricing instrument for all products and wages to the single standard of gold only. We demand a national graduate income tax on salaries or incomes in excess of reasonable expenditures for the comforts and necessities of life. We pledged he People’s party, when given control of the government, that the gunholdors, who put up life to save the Union from secession, shall be equalized with the bondlio’ders. who speculated in human life and the blood of our people, and their pensions shall be treated as a vested right. We favor the election of United States senators and all postmasters by direct vote of the people.

STATE ISSUES. We believe the people are yet capable of self-government and home rule, and demand of the next legislature the repeal of the metropolitan police law applied to cities. We also denounce the present unfair and unjust law that, forbids minorities representation on election boards or witnesses to count of ballots, as a violation of the natural rights of the people; the entering wedge to the destruction of free government; the very essence of party tyranny and taxation without representation, laws that no honest man can defend. We demand a constitutional convention to revise our state constitution and include therein reform in the methods of taxation and the initiative and referendum system of legislation, with the veto power of all the important laws in the hands of the people. We demand such equitable adjustment of tbe statute for the listing of property for taxation that will permit the deduction of all bona fide indebtedness from sum total listed. We demand a reasonable homestead law that no process of any court can touch. We demand a law taxing all Inheritances coming to citizens of Indiana, both direct and collateral, at 5 per cent, above Jii.OOO, for the benefit of the state sinking fund. We demand that most liberal educational facilities for the masses within the power of the state to provide, and a more efficient ad. ministration of the public school fund. We demand that convict labor shall be taken as far as possible away from competition with honest, free labor in conduct of the ■ state prisons, recommending that counties work their convicts building and Improving public roads. We demand a law at tho hands of the next legislature that will make It optional with debtors In this state, to pay any legal obligation in gold, silver or other lawful money of the United States. We demand that onr state naturalization laws conform to our national laws upon tho subject.. We view with alarm the evil influence of the liquor traffic. We heartily endorse the initiative and refeiendum system of legislation. believing by this means the people can suppress this and oilier evils more effectually than by any other mode.

We demand an effective enforcement of the laws prohibiting the employment of child labor. We demand that a system of arbitration lie established, whereby serious difficulties be--1 ween employer and employes may be speedily and impartially adjusted, before either party resort to measures detrimental to one and to both. We favor a reduction of the working hours by law in mines and factories in conformity with tho progress of industry. We demand that cities be specially empowered to assume ownership and control of public water, transportation and lighting plants, in such manner as to operate wholly in the interest of the people, without imposing burdensome taxation. We are against the giving out of public works under contract to the lowest bidder, state and the communities should carry out such work themselves under tho supervision of experienced officers. We favor an efficient employer’s liability law and the inspection of mlpes and factories for the protection of life and limb of tho workingmen. The right to vote is inherent in citizenship irrespective of sox.
