The President’s message was read in Congress Tuesday. Like all of Mr. Harrison’s annual messages, it is an exhaustive and most statesman-like paper, covering ail the grounds which such a document is supposed to cover. While being, in no sense, a partisan production, it still presents plenty of evidence that Mr. Harrison is still a firm Protectionist and an unflinching Republican. The statement being made by the Democrats that there is a deficit in the National treasury is false. The balance is as large as the law requires and large enough for all practice} purposes. The policy of Harrison’s administration has been to use the surplus topsy off the national debt and stop interest rather than to pile up money i 5 certain favored banKS, as was done by CWafcrd. Tn tbi* />onnoAion there are certain figures you should call the attention of youi’ Democratic friends to when you hear any talk of the surplus disappearing. During Harrison’s administration $113,00G,u00 U-lwro licw been paid out in penrens than during Cleveiunu’s administration, and under Harr'sort’s adrr.'. the public debt has been reduced $259,073,240.

The Unlucky Discovery.

The discovery has been made that on one side of the new quarter dollar thereare thirteen sepa= rate representations of the number thirteen. It was probably the intantjon of the designer of the quarter to have thirteen occur thirteen times, but there are few people who have noticed this fact. There are thirteen- stars, thirteen letters in the scroll held in the eagle’s beat, thirteen marginal feathers in each wing, thirteen tail feathers, thirteen parallel lines in the shield, thirteen horizontal bars, thirteen arrow heads in one foot, thirteen leaves on the branchin the other foot, and thirteen letters in tli'(W word quititTei* dollar.

The President’s Opportunity.

The Chicago News Record of headed “Harrison’s Opportunity,” Tti which ii s< id trial it was the President’s duty to assist the democrats in changing the tariff iaws. A writer to that paper has the following to say on ihesubject: “As I am a reader of your valuable paper; I take the liberty to criticise your editorial of Nov. 19, headed “Harrison’s Opportunity.” Tlie president of the Cnited States should not turn traitor to his party and carry'out the wishes of the | ajority the yoters without regard to the character of the 'persons composing said majorities —who are tic- shims of our large cities, the voting stock imported from the old countries for the purpose, or from places where the shot guii plays a prominent part. All seem to be counted as intelligent. Now, because the people, like the childrenr of Israel, clamor for a melton calf, shall the president like Aaron of old—make it and say, “This is the God that led you up out of the land of Lgypt?” No. President Harrison is too conscientious to take any hand in leading the country to destruction. He knows that — “Truth crushed to eatli will rise again; The eternal years of God are hers, But orro-, wounded, writhes in rain And dies amid her worshipers. Now let the other party take the reins and put into practice and fulfill its. promises, and we are likely to again have the good old times of Buchanan and Breckenridge. Many of us have not forgotten those times and would rather not see them, but we can stand what the rest can. Meanwhile,. we shall see.

HOW TO 10 WIN IN 94.

lhe Journal understands the Republicans have closed their headquarters in Indianapolis and gone home. The Democrats still have their li< adquartere opem in. tile Union block and do not propose' to close up at hil. They do not j intend to go homo. | The plain truen is the Demoj ends win victories in Indiana by i r jje rscr i emnoe, persistence and un- ’ v easing pegging away, j Democrats never lot up. sc-on ns one campaign closes i another begins with them. They ivocp up i/tie.i. organization, distribute documents and make a businnsp cif all the-time, from | one year’s end tb another. It i§ j hammer, hammer, hammer, organi izo, organize, organize, agitate, : agitate, agitate with the Demoi erftts and it makes no difference ; when an emotion ctmics, they are i ready for it. And they are al- ! ways in a position to take advantage of ; very pnmil crook and ,■' «[,< i \■: ; tin- it into poli- | tics and rap.ke a point, if such a thing is possible. rn 150! 1 5 AV.rahamLincoln called for volunteers, the entire South was a splendid army, drilled ana equipped for service—eager for the fray. Those states had been preparing for the conflict for j years, and ~how theif j)reparations counted! The north did not gel on a military footing until along towards the close of the war. Hiid t,he northern soldiers been disciplined and armed as were the southern soldiers, fuey would have settled the fate of tae Confederacy

f T - ' '> in half the tine it actually required. And so it would be with the Republican party. If it looked after politics as assiduously as the Democrat party it would always win, it would not permit the enemy to entrench itself whil#. the Republican snoozed in its tent There has not been a campaign in thirty-two years in which the Republicans have not been right and the Democrats wrong, and every time the Republican party has won a victory it has been solely on account of the virtue of its cause. The Democratic party has not 'won urtriumph save by misrepresentation and chicaner}-. What Dtmaoeraoyhas lacked -in what Republicans consider the essential elements of truth, patriotism and principle it has more than -made up in organization, and a bad cause well organized will clown a good cause not wHT organized nearly every time. The lie publicans of Indiana have nothing to be ashamed of in the campaign they have just finished. They did remarkably well against the flood of fraud and slander, deception and bigotry that was turned loose against them. And if the leaders of the party will assentble new, get on a war footing in Indiana at once, map out a campaign and follow it up. for the next tv/o years, the Indiana Democracy will take to the mountains in the fall of ’9l. In time of peace prepare for war. It is political suicide to fight a vigilant and unflagging foe by an extemporized campaign.— Delphi Journal.

A Few Questions to Answer.

IRefore the late political contest is entirely relegated to the past let every good, honest, thinking Democrat, and every good, honest, thinking populist ask himself a few solemn questions. Let him get out his little note book and pencil and jot these questions down and answer them, as answering his own soul. Which party plunged this country into a civil war which cost millions of dollars and thousands of lives ? (If h e does not know the answer to this question let him read carefully the administration of James Buchanan.) Which party predominated in the struggle for the maintenance of our government? Was there ever a slaveholder, did you cvn kiiuw of one who belonged to the Republican party? Was there ever a country, did you eVer kujw ui one, that recovered as rapidly from the effects of a long and Lloody war? Under the rule of which party did it recover? With which party do the saloonkeepers rejoice? Was it not a significant fact thpt all the saloons, aim ost without exception in every city and towu, decorated in honor of Cleveland? We rejoice ia the prosperity of Am erica, in her great manufacturers, iu the liberal wages paid to labor, in her general prosperity. Was it not our protective tariff that made ue prosperous? If not, why is England so rejoiced over a Democratic vi ctory. Our own state, Indiana, is rapidly coming to the front as one of the most important states in the union. Can it be denied that in a great measure her prosperity is due to a pr o cfive tariff', allied with natural advantages? Was there ever, a time in the history of in:,-. country when a dollar would purchase as much as it will now? Was then tv~r a time when everything Us farmer has to sell brought better prices (unless in times of inflation, or of war, and everything he has to buy tyas cheaper? ~L Do you luAiiestly and cordially think that Mr. Harrison’s administration can be improved upon? * • . . - . - *.
