The Columbian Exposition, as all eye witnesses say, is far greater, more varied, and more truly a World’s Fair than any like exhibit in the past. Its extent, its beauty and splendor, its lessons of utility and skill and taste are unequaled. The. recent bank failures lead the Ohio Farmer to suggest that the Postal Savings Bank is our manifest destiny. It is the only absolutely safe system of deposits and would tend to prevent financial panics. With the government behind the bank doors, failure would be absolutely impossible. Says the New York Press: “The last year of the Harrison administration Was the most prosperous iD the history of the United States. The first year of Cleveland’s administration sees more financial peril than any period since the last great panic.” The people wanted a change and now they have it.

Huntington Herald: Judge Gresham, Secretary of State, receives an annual pension of $360. It must be pleasant for him to sit with heels under an administration table surrounded by a lot of alleged statesmen who denounce the pensioners as “frauds,” “perjurers,” &c. Judge Gresham’s honors, under Cleveland, {ire accompanied with a loss of self-respect which must be very humiliating. Just as we are making better ships than anybody, and better guns than anybody, and better armor-plate than anybody, a test at the proving grounds, at Sandy Hook, lately showed we are making better steel projectiles than anybody.. It is only a few years since the free-traders were declaring that we ought to buy all these things abroad, instead of trying to make them ourselves.

GIVE THE PEOPLE HALF FAIR.

Why cannot the railroads afford to give half fare rates to the Chicago Exposition better than to a Republican or Democratic National Convention? The first lasts six months —the last six days. To the first millions would go—to the last perhaps ten thousand. Why discriminate against the many aud in favor of the few? The people do not wish the railroads to lose money, but they do want fair play. Shall they have it? Can the railroads afford not to give it? Fair play and mutual good will are for the common interest—a truth which in this matter it is well for the railroads to see soon.

What the South Says.

Knowing that the Southern democrats dominate the democratic party it is important to learn the sentiment of the solid south. The following is Senator Colquitt’s opinion of the political situation: The policy of the democratic party includes the free and unlimited coinage of silver, the increase of the volume of circulating mmey, the repeal of the McKinley law and the institution of a t iriff for revenue only, the repeal o? the ten per cent, tax on state bink notes and the destruction of unjust monopolies and trusts. The great majority of democrats earnestly favor these measures, and if the party be courageous 'and patriotic enough to adopt them, and t) show its devotion to the rights and interests of the people, it will perpetuate its power and command i niverea confidence and support

What Shall we do to be Saved?

The Democratic party is actually becoming alarmed at the financial condition the Democratic policy has produced, and the leaders are no w begging the people to help them “let go the bear.” Cleveland implores the public as follows: “I think that between the present and the meeting of congress much depends upon the action of those engaged in financial operations and business enterprises. Our vast national resources and credit are abundantly sufficient to justify them in the utmost faith and confidence. If, instead of being frightened, they are conservative, and if, instead of gloomily anticipating immediate disaster, they contribute their share of hope and steadiness they will perform a patriotic duty and at the same time protect their own interest, l'he things ju6t now needed are coolness and calmness in financial circles and study and reflection among our people.”

WE NEED THE TARIFF.

There has not been very much said abou| the tariff since the election was over. Our friends, the enemy, have seen at a glance that they cannot abolish the tariff and keep their house running. Hence they are pretty Still; but the fact that wise men will get up and declare that American manufacturers can successfully compete with European manufacturers when our country pays $2 in wages, where the other country pays $1; where one country, too, has its mines close by its factories, its factories close by its ships ready at any time to transport to the uttermost parts of the world any foreign manufactured goods; to say that our new country, with roads undeveloped, with mines undeveloped with wages two to one against those of England,—to say that such a country, without the support of the Government behind it, could succeed, is to discount every law of arithmetic and logic, and to advertise that the world must be on a crazy streak because it cannot see that two times two are six. We need the tariff—Tribune, Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Indianapolis Journal, in speaking of the desperate effort government officials made to close the World’s Fair on Sundays, makes this very conclusive statement; “It may be remarked, by the way, that the government which has made so great a show of Sabbatarian virtue in its efforts to close the gates of the fair on Sundays, is itself a wholesale sinner in this regard, since it stipulates by contract for the carrying of the mails on Sunday and compels many thousands of postal clerks and postoffice employes to work on that day. The position of the government on the Sunday closing question has beenthoroughly Pharisaical. Next to the railroads it has done and is doing more to break down the observance of Sunday as a day of rest than any other organization or influence in the land. It would have appeared more consistent if it had stopped its hundreds of Sunday mail trains and released its thousands of postal employes from Sunday work before trying to close the World’s Fair on Sundays.”

REYISING THE PENSION LIST.

The work of cutting off what the administration is pleased to call “pension frauds” has begun. Fifty names have been ordered dropped from the Pittsburg, Pa., list One of these “frauds” dropped from the Indiana list, is Andrew J. Huffman of Hamilton county. Mr. IHiffman has made an affidavit of the facts in his case and his neighbors without regard to politics testify to the accuracy of his affidavit The undisputed testimony shows that he served from the breaking out of the war until July, 1865, and while in the Eighth Indiana Cavalry, under Gen Stoneman, he had four horses shot under him. Near Colombia, Tenn., one horse was shot from under him, and in the fall Huffman was pinned to the ground and was stepped on by a horse in the rear, one hoof striking him on the left groin and the other in the center

of his abdomen. The injuries resulted in double hernia, one complete. He now wears a supporter at all timeß for the complete hernia and a truss for the incomplete when he has any lifting to do. On the 15, inst., he was notified that his pension had been cut off, and on the 19th ipst at Noblesville, he was again examined, the examining board telling him that the marks left by the corks of the horse’s shoes were plainly visible. The board made a report that the injury still existed. Mr. Huffman made no application for pension Until 1874, when he was rated at $4 per month dating back to 1865.

WHERE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.

In discussing the financial situation the New York Tribune charges the Cleveland administration with being mainly responsible for th€ unsettled and uneasy condition of affairs in this country at the present time. It says. Three months ago when President Cleveland came in, business was large in volume and highly prosperous. The outgo of gold, which had begun the very month he was elected, both indicated and created some apprehension, but the business world was disposed to extend to him generous confidence and support. Banks loaned several millions of gold to the treasury for legal tenders, and net exports of gold fell off to $1,500,000 in March. Everybody knows that there has been a great change. Gold exports raised to $18,000,000 in April and last week alone were $6,500,000. Business is no linger as large or as satisfactory. Failures have multiplied and assumed serious importance. A great many works have stopped, many others are preparing to close. Wheat and Corn have dropped about three cents each* and cotton nearly a cent, in spite of official indications of a short crop. Bail-' road stocks have fallen an average of $lO per share and trust stocks $23.50 per share in two months.

Happy is the Democrat who can persuade himself that the change of national administration had nothing to do with this trying change in business. But no statement of the situation is faithful or candid which does not attribute to the administration itself a large proportion of the evils now experienced. Some censure its policy, and some its want of policy, but the trouble goes deeper. The president has erred in much that he has left undone, but the root of the matter is that he has been sacrificing the public welfare to the exigencies of partisanship. He and his friends often say that the Sherman silver law is the cause of all trouble. It is not true; but if it were, why has that law not been repealed? The president has a congress controlled in both branches by his own party. He could have brought congress together before the end of March. He refused to do so, and took upon himself the responsibility which he ought to have placed promptly and squarely upon the representatives of the people. His reason all know. He felt that his party in congress would break into warring factions, one of which he would be forced to lead, and that he and the party would then be powerless to pass measures without the assent and aid of Republicans. In return it would be impossible to avoid concessions to Republican opinions and interests. The president preferred to let the country suffer.

Pointed Paragraphs From Indiana Papers.

The price of pork keeps up because a Republican administration opened the markets of Germany, France and other countries to America pork and lard.—Liberty Herald. . “Democratic orators last November and the month before assured veteran soldiers “that the Democratic party was devoted to their interests.’ Hoke Smith is redeeming the pledges.—Hammond Tribune. Republicans are already beginning to scent victory from afar, and if the Democratic party will only do what it promised, within two years it will be as unpopular as it was immediately after the war.—Lebanon Patriot. The price of wheat is lower than it has been for a quarter of a century, and yet many farmers throughout the country still persist in voting with' the party of free trade to make it still lower. —Plainfield Progress. The good old Democratic times which were promised us dtfring the last campaign are coming-in

fact the advance guard is here already. Try borrowing a little harvest money at any of the banks if you doubt it—Steuben Republican. it Jl, - . ; The fee and salary law, which affects the stale and county officials, has been declared unconstitutional. Thus ends another Democratic reform, which was never meant for anything only to deceive the people.—Portland Commercial. The local Democratic sheet has not yet commenced the publication of a list of “frauds and dead beats” whose names ate cn the pension rolls. It ought at least confess that it knows of none such in Muncie if it cannot give their names. —Muncie Times. “If the Democrats are in earnest in what they promised, why don’t they commence to bring about the good times?” asksa farmer. Why, they have commenced to get back to the good old Democratic times; lots of business failures and more to come, don’t you see?-—Bloomfield News. When the Democratic emissaries go nosing around, investigating pensions, will they give the old soldiers a chance to be heard, or will they go about secretly and> take just such evidences as the special examiner sees proper. If the latter, the old soldier might as well surrender his pension at once. —Corydon Republican. We have had an enormous trade, this Spring, but we have kept an enormous stock, also.
