The Terrible Change.

In Harrison’s four years $259, 074,200 of Public Debt were paid off, and the interest charge was reduced by $11,684,469 a year. In Cleveland’s admistration, debt-paying has been stopped and debt-making has begun. Tne Public Debt has already been increased by $100,000,000 and the interest charge has been increased by $5,000,000 a year. Under Harrison the country was highly prosperous. Under •level-nd, the country has struck the deepest depths of woe. No wonder the democratic party sick over such a stupid misgov- * rnment. Their leaders do not xnow how to run a great country like this.

Probably True Now.

More Republicans were elected to congress in the solid south than there were democrats elected to congress in the north. In the present house there are six southern Republicans—two from Tennessee and one each from South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky and Missouri. In Jhe next house there will be 34 hailing from nine statqju In the present house there are 98 democrats from the north. In the t ext there will be 14. The Republicans have gained 28 in the south. The Democrats have lost 84 in the north. Heretof. re it has been a solid south and a divided north. It has taken less than two years of derm cracy and free trade legislation to reverse the conditions. It used to be said that Grover Cleveland was “bigger than his party.” Considering how little there is left of the party the statement may now be accepted as actually true.

pLatt week’s Pilot on its editorial page, reprinted from the London Echo, a blatant anarchist sheet, the article which we copy, below. The Pilot gives the piece its nearly unqualified endorsement in the words: “That while it is a little extravagant, there is much truth it.” This is the article:

The signs of the times indicate that before the sun rises on June 1, 1900, the great American nation will groan and writhe in an agony of revolution and the streets will be slippery with blood. A hundred drops of blood for each gem that flashes on the necks of the rich and pampered women, and ten drops of blood for each tear that has washed the face of the poor. \ Every election is carried by fraud and toodle. Politics is so rotten that it stinks. Everybody knows it and nobody cares. 1 America is no longer a republic. It is a plutocracy. The President is merely the creation of the banks, or bank directors, railroad kings and coal barons, and it is the same with the governors of the states. The poor whine about their poverty and gnaw their crust of bread but can always be counted on to vote for the rich and shoulder their muskets and lay down their lives in defense of the right of the rich to rob them. A nation such as this, in which one million plutocrats tyranize over sixty millions slaves, will either be overthrown by a- foreign power or.drowned in its own blood or die of gangrene. The various organizations neither think together, nor work together, and they have no money to buy votes, lawyers and judges. Soldiers and police shoot down labeling people and are cheered on in their bloody work by monopolistic editors, capitalists and the clergy. But the day will soon come when there will be a horrible d«nee to death, lighted up by burning bouses and the music Of

cries and groans and dynamite bombs. Rich idlers amuse themselves at Newport and Tuxedo; poor workers toil ceaselessy in the darkness of the mine and the din of the mill. x Toung men and woman dawdle over iced champagne and oyster patties;old men and women pick rotten food out of the garbage cans. Lap doge are driven through Central Park to take the air; children die of over-work in filthy garrets. —.-.'A.. 1 ' 1 1 Piety in the white house “enduring” the fruits of bribery— infidelity in the tenement house enduring the punishment of uprightness.

These are the signs of the times in America today—signs that point to calamities too dreadful to imagine, but which nothing can avert?’ The essential falseness of all the pretended statements of facts and conditions, in the above article, false and outrageously false as they are, is not by any means the worst feature of the articles The principles which such articles in culcate in the minds of those ignorant enough, weak enough, or blind enough to believe the statements they contain, are their worst feature. The person who reads and believes the statements in this article, so approvingly quoted by the Pilot, has not only ceased to be a patriot, ceased to love and respect his country, but has gone a long way towards becoming an out and out anarchist, —a member of that fast increasing class in whose fanatical madness, there looms portentious danger, not ouly to the stability of our own country and its noble institutions, with the consequent danger to the happiness and well being of our people, but danger to the very fabric ot civilization itself.

The Pilot professes great grief and indignation when the term “anarchistic” is applied in any manner to it or its teachings, or to the teachings of its party. But h-'W much worse is it to be an actual anarchist in your own belief, than to be a teacher of anarchy to others?

FROM HUNGRY KANSAS

Editor Republican: Please tell my oid comrades of Post 84, G. A. R. that we old boys did :n our very sou s rejoice out herein niiogry Kansas when we received the news of the elections. Our country is safe; we know it is safe in Union men’s care. As to our living condition; we have not had rain enough to sprout most of the wheat sown since Sept. 20th. You would think we must need rain to make stock water. Such is not the case. Generally in this country when it gets cool and freezes a little, water raises in the dry creeks, and where they were dry three weeks ago, they are running today. Old settlers say the ground is the dryest and the wheat crop prospect is the poorest they ever saw it in December. This country for 25 miles west of here is mostly settled as thickly as inmost parts of Jasper Co., Ind. I took a trip twenty-five miles north east in September, to a little town called A hoi on the Rock Island R. R. Just think of the nicest prairie and mce farm houses and barns and groves and orchards, and corn fields as far as the eye can see, no f ences, no corn on the stalk;, it was one of lhe prettiest pictures I ever saw but it made me most heart sick to see such fine farming country with plenty of people and plenty of stock but very little grain or garden vegetables as far as the eye can see. On low land near streams of water there is some corn, and most farmers will find ways to winter over. At Athol, Agre and Cedarville Dr. Golden, [of Smith Center, has provided cribs and has been buying corn two or three years, storing it. He had 105,000 bushels. I', cost him from 20 to 33 cents per bushel. He hired It shelled and sold it back to farmers, at from 50 to 60 cents per bushel. The cobs at ten cents per 100 lbs. It is about, if not all gone back to the people. Think of it; how many of the poor curse the wealthy who take care of all the necessaries of life to keep it in the country where people so often need it. Our first snow commenced with warm north wind which kept misting and snowing all day the 10th, and all night. How we enjoy it. We are as glad to see it rain or snow as Indianians are to see it stop raining. Yours, the old milkman

“Unheard of Bargains.”

Being the mournful ballad of ye merchantman who tried it and found that advertising does not pay. “The times are hard,” the merchant said, -"I’ll mark my goods way down. And advertise them good and strong, And capture this whole town.” Straightway he seized his Ink and pen, And paper, too. seized he, “ And wrote, and wrote', and wrote again An ad a sight to see. “Unheard of bargains!!” was the head He put upon the ad, Then hied him to the printer-man’s, And hand-bills printed had. Twosturdy youths he next-sought out, And sent them up and down To scatter bills the streets about. And agitate the town. TJutsad to say nd great crowds came To throng that merchant’s store, And trade flowed on about the same _ As it had flowed before. “Oh, foolT was, and fool I am,” The merchantman did say, "Now where’s the man, who says he can Make advertising pay? Then up and spake an honest friend Who knew a thing or two; “Old man, you’ll find out In the end, The trouble’s all with you. “On yesterday, the wind blew high, Your bills, ah where are they? The most of them sailed toward the sky, Caressed by breezes gay. "Unheard of Bargains?” I should say That rather fills the bill. Despite your spread of yesterday, They are unheard of still. "Go, get you to the printer’s shop ’ As quick as you can flee. And In his paper place an ad Where honest folks will see.” The merchant did as he was bld, As he was bid, did he, And now he’s puzzled to get rid / Of all his Spare money. MORAL. A moral for the man whose eyes Upon these lines alight: ••It profits not to advertise. Unless you do It right.”

The Bridge Still Standing.

At Inst, acionnts the bicycle bridge was still standing a'though it gets “sway-back” every time a heavy load crosses it Just think of it. This bridge cost almost one third as much as the magnificent soldiers’ m mument at Indianapolis. And the bonds by which money was raised to pay for it lun twenty years, bear interest at six per cent payable semiannually aid were soldata discount. Will some one please throw on the blue light while the band plays Annie Lauiie.—Delphi Journal. The whole history of the above mentioned bridge, is the history of one of the biggest pieces pF rascality ever perpetrated in northermind; It crosses the Wabash liver near Delphi. It cost about SBO,OOO, and although only just recently completed has been repeatedly dec'ared by the Jourp-il and other Carroll county papers to be so flimsily built as to be actually unsafe to cross with large teams with heavy loads. I's cost, in proportion to the amount of ’ work and material in it, was more than twice us much as the Monon road paid for two new iron br dgts m the same county.

The bridge was built by the Lafayette Bridge Company, and the same man that secured the contract, is also publicly charged with working up a scheme by which the bonds for this bridge, and some others, aggregating in all some SBO,OOO in amount, and bearing six per cent, interest, were surreptitiously sold to one Fienzel and some others, of Indianapolis, fora discount of several thousand dollars, when other counties were selling bonds at the same rate of interest at a large premium. To sum it all up, the people of Carroll county lost at least SIO,OOO on the sale of these bonds, counting the discount-allowed to the buyers and the premium that ought to have been paid, and besides that they have paid SBO,OOO for a very poor bridge, when $40,000 ought to have built them a good one.

Important to Borrowers.

The Indiana Mutual Building and Loan Associations have decided to reduce the premium on all loans made after January 1, 1895, to two per cent, with interest at six per cent. This should meet with the approval of any one who desires to secure a loan, if the borrowers will take into consideration the earnings he makes on the money he pays in as monthly dues on hi shares, his interest thereby being reduced to less than five per cent. None but first class applications will be considered, and will not loan to exceed fifty per cent, of the appraised value. Chas. Kahlo, Secy.

The series of meetings at the Chiistian chuich closed Sunday evening with a mass social in which the n- w members were welcomed into the chuich. The meetings have resulted in forty additions to the membership. The interest has continued unabated throughout the last month. The church has been filled to overflowing and standing room has been “at a premium.” The earnestness and zeal of the pastor aided by the untiring energy and eloquence of Elder Brady have greatly contributed to this end. Mr. Brady has unusual ability as a preacher and our people were very glad to have so many opportunities to hear him.
