The Havemeyera who are at the head of the Sugar trust are doinij all in their power to elect Bryan. The employes at Marshall Field <fc Co. at Chicago took a test am ing themselves Monday and the result was 851 for McKinley and 149 for Bryan. Marshall Field is himself a democrat. When the resolution giving the federal government greater power over trusts was up before the House of Representatives at the recent session, every Democrat but five voted against it. Mr. Kern, Democratic candidate for Governor, says we ‘‘can’t read the Declaration of Independence any more on the 4th of July.’’ Mr. Kern takes entirely too gloomy a view of the matter. Because the democrats of Carolina override and trample the constitution and declaration under foot is no reason why we shouldn’t have an occasional good time here in Indiana.

“Principles not men’’ is a true and correct motto, but when anyone thinks they can be faithful to principles~and at the same time unfaithful to the men who represent those principles, they make a great mistake. And this fact applies” even right in the matters nearest home, in our township and county affairs, as much as in any. The man who injures his party in local affairs injures it right at its fountain head. There is no readier way for a man to loosen his own regard for correct party principles than to begin cutting and slashing his local party ticket. And there is no other way half so sure of driving others away from the party either. Charity begins at home.” is an old familiar saying. Party fealty begins at home is just as true, and much more important in the affairs of government. It is easy enough for that polished and truthful gentleman, the editor of the Jasper County Democrat to call other people liars, especially from the safe seclusion of his office, but if The Re pi b*Lh an editor* lied when he said Gen. Weaver ranked McKinley with Jeff Davis,” then there are a dozen or more of the best citizens in town who come under the same category. And it will not be hard to find even some besides Republicans who will admit that whdtt Weaver said plainly admitted of that construction. “I have books here to prove it,"’declared Weaver. Then he read some garbled extracts from Jeff Davis’ book. 1 Then he told a story of two men, who got to fighting. They both wore overcoats and fought a long , time. When they got through they had, by some means, traded so that each man was wearing the other’s overcoat. The plain and evident application of the story, and just as Weaver meant it to be applied, was that McKinley was now. figuratively speaking, wearing Jeff Davis’ overcoat. In other words that McKinley represented now the spirit and principles that Davis represented 35 years ago.

Calamity always has been, and always will be, the chief stock in trade of the democratic pariy. It has always been a calamity howler, always prospers on calamity—of the imaginary kind rather than the real—and yet it has been the record of that party for more than forty years. It has brought calamity threefold greater than its orators compllined of whenever it secured power in the United States. It is a party of croakers. Consequently it is with great glee that the democrats hail the strike in Pennsylvania The prospect for higher prices for coal, to be prid by the rich and poor alike, seems to be a tonic to the democratic spirits, for they figure on making political cai)ital out of the strike in Pennsylvania. The general impression in New York is that it is a democratic strike, was organized, originated and fostered by the democratic leaders for political effect in this presidential campaign. Of course every man

who L-nows anything is perfectly aware that the Republican party and the national administration have nothing what ever to do with the strike nor the grievances of which the miners complainEvery democratic orator on the stump and the democratic papers have already begun to hold the republican party responsible for all the ills that may grow out of this strike and which may have deplorable consequences before it ends. A strike inaugurated solely for political es- j feet is nothing short of crime ~

Brookston Gazette —Albert Marshall, abase ball and foot ball player, of Rehsselaer, has entered the Wisconsin University, and will probably play quarter v back on that college’s famous foot bal.lteam. Marshall is a good foot ball player, having had five years’ experience on the Rensselaer team, which is generally considered to be the best amateur team in the state. Young Marshall is also a splendid student and will make his mark in a more lasting manner than on the gridiron. A man’s head in a sack wan found in Cedar Lake, near one of the landings on the east shore, last Saturday. The coroner of Lake County held an inquest but could not solve the mystery. The head, crumbled when examined and was thought to have been immersed in quicklime. A murder is suspected, but more likely it is a portion of some medical college cadaver, which prankish students have left there to create a sensation. Rev. Herman J. Aiefding, of Indianapolis, has just been appointed Bishop of the Catholic diocese of Fort Way tie-, to succeed the late Bishop Rademacher whose death occured about a year ago. The new Bishop has, been located in Indianapolis for 25 years and was one of the most popular and influential clergymen of that city His ability and character are ve. y highly commended by the Indianapolis papers. He is one of the ablest pulpit orators .in the church, and as a public speaker one of the wittiest. As he is likely to be a frequent visitor to St. Joseph’s college, the athletic young men at that institution will be glad to learn that he is a great ase-ball admirer, and seldom misses a game that he can attend.

High living, intemperance, exposure and many other things bring on Bright's diseaee. Foley’s Kidney Cure will prevent Bright’s disease and all other kidney or blader disorders if taken in time. Take nothing else. It is exaspering to one who knows Foley's Honey and Tar, and knows what it will do, to have a dealer recommend something else as “just the same” or “just as good” for colds, coughs, croup, lagrippe, etc.

DURBIN AND LABOR

His Treatment of Employes Characterized by Fair Dealing. E. C. Toner of the Anderson Herald, in speaking of Colonel W. T. Durbin, the Republican candidate for governor, says: “The last few days letters have been received in Anderson by different parties asking for information in regard to certain reports that have got in circulation in some parts of the state, in connection with Colonel Durbin and his relations as a manufacturer with his employes. It appears that 1 from Some unfriendly source rumors have been started that do him a wrong. “One of tlie reports is that Colonel Durbin owned stock for a number of years in a nonunion bottle plant, and this is being circulated to prejudice the minds of union tradesmen. The plant is that of the Pennsylvania Glass company. The report goes further. It says he caused a reduction of wages in this plant and, furthermore, that on selling his stock in this be bought an interest in another nonunion plant. The report is wholly false. Colonel Durbin never owned a dollar’s worth of stock in this plant, and in no way has he been connected with it ■or- with any other nonunion plant. The story is made out of whole cloth, as any Anderson person, of no matter what party, will testify. “Three years ago Colonel Durbin built aud gave to a suburban Methodist congregation a beautiful church edifice. It is known as the Madison Avi-nuc church. The Diamond paper mill, of which Colonel Durbin then owned a large interest, "is located not far away and many ol the employes are members of this church. A few inquirers say that they have heard that shortly after the erection of this church the wages of the men were reduced aud that such reduction made up for tiie cost of the church. This report is also wholly false. “The wages of the men in the Dla mond paper mill have not been reduced since the plant was built, not even during the panic of the Cleveland administration. When, at that time, business was at the lowest ebb since 1873 and wages were being reduced every where,' Colonel Durbin called his men together. He made a statement to them as to the condition of the market and told them frankly the company was having a struggle to keep any ways near even. He said they would run as long as they could and as steadily as possible, but that under no circumstances would there be a cut in wages. He asked the men to join in the struggle, to turn out a little more and a little better paper if possible, and they would try to do the rest. The results of this meeting were even more than the company had a right to expect, and while other paper mills reduced wages or closed down, or both, the Diamond mill stemmed the wave of depression and came out without the men losing a penny. Colonel Durbin sold his interest in this business 18 months ago.”

FIGHT FOR AGUINALDO

Maurice Thompson’s Advice to Those Who Think Him Right Maurice Thompson of Indiana, identified by family ties and political training with the Democratic party until recently, and who has won national fame as an author, set forth his expansion views in an address in Boston in June and later at Wabash college in Crawfordsville. In one paragraph he said: "If any American thinks that Aguinaldo is right and our country wrong, let him go fight beside the Philippine rebels; but while living under the flag and accepting its protecfion, it is not patriotic for any citizen of the Union to compare Aguinaldo favorably with Washington. You may quote literature to prove that Aguinaldo is a patriot and that our flag-bearers are traitors; but the people will spurn your argument as treasonable; and, as Lincoln wisely said, "the people gen erally wabble right.” Life is to be reckoned with and respected. Life cares for facts, it deals with facts; it will crush a government and reverse all laws to reach a fact. Wise statesmen know this and heed it. * * * I believe in the breed of men and women who have borne Indescribable hardships, waded through seas of blood, given up their dearest kith and kin for the right to hold what their valor tore from their enemies. I believe in tlie vitality of my breed of men and the civilization that breed has evoked from life. I trust my country’s governing power. Wherever she takes her flag there will the best freedom and the soundest happiness finally abide; and whoever levels a gun at that flag, or in any way aids, comforts or encourages those who do, Is unworthy of freedom. In saying this I am sure that 1 voice the noblest sentiment and the profoundest determination of American lif?.’

Where the Danger Lies.

The gold standard will be In danger just as long as a party assails It and t strong enough to contest the pres deucy. No law can be passed that will permanently fetter the presidents and congresses of the future. Ihe way to dispose of debased money schemes is to defeat the parties that advocate them.
