Worse and Worse.

Henry Watterson’s very uncomplimentary opinion of President Cleveland was copied in this paper lately from the Indianapolis Journal and now we copy what he says of Stevenson. Mr. Watterson was asked his opinion of the probable result of the death of Mr. Cleveland, in the light of the recent rumor to that effect. The Louisville editor threw up his hands and exclaimed: “My God! Where would we be at if Cleveland should die? But seriously, Stevenson would be a much worse man in the presidential chair than Mr. Cleveland. He is not the man of affirmative power of Mr. Ciex eland and the country would be th e loser. His opin ions on all the great questions of publicinterest and importance are fatally indefinite, and chaos would follow.” . The outlook is s*d for democrats when they can see no good in either of their chosen heads of government.

DO You Know Why?

Gen. Packard: Do you know why Indiana is disgraced by the Roby prize fights? It is because Indiana went for the" Democrats last fall. 1 Do you know why the anarchists, Fielden, Schwab* and Neebe are out of prison, and anarchism is showing its colors more boldly than at any time for the last seven years ? It? is because Illinois went for the Democrats last fall.

Do you know why Indiana makes such a shabby exhibit of herself at the World’s Fair? It is because the Democrats carried the state legislature last fall. Do you know why manufactures and business men generally regard the future with apprehension, why manufactures are limiting their output and discharging many of their workmen? It is because the country went for the Democrats last fall. Do you know why the city of Indjanapolis is dead broke and has to borrow money'at 8 per cent? It is because that city has gone for the Democrats several times.

THEIR ONLY HOPE IS SOUP.

If there are thousands of unemployed workmen in our, land, if the agricultural interests languish, if the trade and commerce are restricted, if there is lack of confidence in financial circles, so far as human laws are concerned you can charge it to the Republican party. 'There are laws on our statute books to-day which are in restriction of trade. They are Republican laws. They are laws which have destroyed the people’s continence and upset the finances. They are Republican laws.— Speaker Crisp at Tammany Hall July 4.

The above shows that Speaker Crisp is a regulation Democratic demagogue. Crisp knows as well as anybody that up to last November the wheels and. spindles in countless inildstries were humming all over the Union. Factories and mills were running night and day, wages were high and general prosperity reigned. This was under the Very same laws now in fore©. ' ’But the Democratic party proposes to murder these laws and the business men and manufacturers are getting ready for the tragedy. They are hedging against it. They see ruin and bankruptcy ahead if the Democratic congress carries out its promises and they are getting in shape to meet the wave. No nation has ever flourished as this nation has flourished nailer the laws' this incoming congress

proposes to repeal. Oar foreign commerce has been extended and new markets have, been made. When the polls opened the morning of the election last November there was not an idle wan in the nation who could not have found employment had he desired it. The Very moment the Democratic party, with its heresies, was declared successful, distrust and dismay spread throughout all channels of business. The country realized what the repeal of these laws would mean.

And now the only hope rests in the repudiation of its promises on the part of the Democratic party. If it carries out its promises there will be millions of idle workmen whose only hope of a square meal will rest in the soup which they may be able to make from the Democratic roosters they carried in their hats in the last campaign. Boys, hold on to your roosters Your only hope is soup.—Delph Journal.

Hoke Smith’s Pension Assault.

Bangor Whig and Courier: The utter hypocricy of the whole performance of this Secretary of the ’lnterior is shown in the statement that every man who is drawing a pension under tn is act for d isability must be absolutely incapciated for all kinds of labor. The most glaring case of the kind is found in the person of John C. Black, the man selected by Cleveland himself during his previous administration to take charge of the pension department. He is rated as a “physical wreck,” that is a man requiring the constant attention of an attendant, and draws SIOO per month on this allegation of his condition. Yet Black accepted an appointment at the head of the department, the work of which is sufficient to break down a well man, let. alone a ‘.'physical wreck,” drew his salary and pension with strict regularity, and is to-day a member of Congress, notwithstanding the the fact that h 6 is drawing one of the biggest pensions paid because he is supposed to be entirely incapacitated for labor of any kind. Hoke Smith cannnot see a case of this magnitude because Black is an influential Democrat, but he can relieve his spite by using his official position to harass the poor old maimed veteran, who is drawing a pittance from the government which he helped to save from the relatives of Smith, in order to keep out of the almshouse. Congress is full of rebels who are drawing pensions for service in the mexican war. They are not to be disturbed by this era of alleged reform, although they are able to draw a salary of $5,000 a year from the government they sought to wreck. No one objects te an honest review of the pension rob, but it ought not to be made by rebels whose aim is persecution.

CONSPIRACY IN KANSAS.

A correspondent df the New York Times sets forth a very serious state of affairs in Kansas, it being no less than a movement on the part of the desperate Populist leaders to retain control in that State by revolutionary measures which involve bloodshed. All of the old militia has been disbanded, and a new organization, composed of Populists, has been effected, and these new regiments are drilling. The Governor has been seeking favor with the most vicious element by wholesale pardofis of penitentiary convicts, who have returned to their former homes to terrorize those who were instrumental in their conviction. The Attorney-geogral in a recent document declares that “men must live, and if the Nation adopts a policy by which they are unable to support themselves and their families with food, these people will have it.” The State organ of the Populists has commended the pardon of the Anarchists by Governor Altgeld, pronounces the hanging of Parsons and his associates as judicial murder, and calls for the vengeance of all good citizens—that is, Populists. The strikes in the (oilfields have been instigated by Populist leaders, and men who desire to work are driven from the mines. Just now the leaders are making a special effort to secure in the county elections this fall the sheriffs and county clerks, in order to carry the State election in 1894. They will trade all other officers to obtain the e to the end that Populist county clerks may make such returns of votes as will eledt the Populist State ticket. Already the leaders have begun their work in the districts through secret

club organizations. To their followers the most dangerous literature is being supplied. .The corresponden t of the Times, after making an extended investigation, “finds only too much foundation for the fears of thoughtful men who are anxiously watching the course of the Populist leaders.” This-report, coming from such a source, is doubtless authentic. For years there has been an anarchistic element in Kansas which has been nourished and placed in power by the trading wing of the democracy. The development of the threatening conspiracy against law and the majority of the people will be watched with eager interest.—lndianapolis Journal.

The Sherman silver law is not, as the Democratic press is trying to make it appear, the only disturbing element in our present financial troubles. —— .Want of confidence in the democratic administration is the real cause. There is not an able financier in President Claveland’s cabinet. The party as such never was successful in financiering for National State’municipal or county affairs. It could contract debts, but could not pay them. As soon as the party gained full control of the government the banks began to contract credits or collect outstanding money. It followed as a matter of course, that all who were _ doing business -on borrowed capital would suffer. If they could not extend their credits they would be forced to the wall.

The thing for each of us to do is to save in all directions that we can. Pay cash for what we buy. Pay all of our debts as fast as we can and buy nothing we do not positively “have to have.” If “the change” the people wanted is a good thing, republicans can stand it as well as democrats, but all should be ready for another “change” in 1894, if the democratic party is not equal to its opportunity. Let us be good citizens, not “calamity howlers,” not misrepresenting the situation but impartial patriots ready to give credit when it is merited and condemnation and rebuke in a manly way when it is needed. ' , Every good and loyal republican will have enough to do. Republican principles I believe to be best for the whole people and they’will better understand that pretty soon. * * *

REMEMBER “BILL N.” JONES.

while taking in the World’s fair. His place is very easy to get to from this section, being only a few blocks from the Monon’s Englewood depot. The electric street cars pass within tiro blocks of his place, taking you direct to the fair grounds at a cost of only 5 cents. He has fine rooms, quiet, respectable neighborhood and his charges are very reasonable. A dollar a day, or for two in a room, only 75 cents, each person. He furnishes good meals, in an adjoining private residence, at 20 cents a single meal, 0r, 57 cents a day for all three meals including a nice lunch to take with you to the grounds. An especially strong point in favor of his place, is immunity from danger of fire. Two World’s Fair hotels have burned already, and several others nariowly escaped. His place is 1216 West 61st street, Englewood. Get off the cars at Englewood, go west a few blocks on the 63rd street cars to May street, then walk north two blocks to 61st street, and there you are. Again we say; Remember “Bill N.” and be wise.

Your Own Interest.

As we have in a previous notice said we have a new mill filled with a full line of the newest and best machinery, and the way we are milling, we can beyond a doubt bring the grade up equal to the best flour on the market, Pillsberry not excepted. Our miller Mr. Sprague is an expert in milling and after lasting the flour, we feel confident that in making this statement it will be corroborated by those that have used it. Now, by the assistance of our agents that are handling our flour in Rensselaer and neighboring towns, we hope to place it in every house in Jasper and adjoining counties and especially we would like every home in Rennselaer to give it a trial. You can have it delivered at your door by ordering from the mill, John Eger, C. C. Starr, Laßue Bros., Warner & Shead or Tutuer Bros. Patronize your home industries. Slick to your own town and foster its enterprises. Leave vour money in Rensselaer and you will get it back after awhile. Sayler Milling Co.
