Iion ac,," just passed by the Democratic

so justly been dsnominated the "Western

It's passage will form an era in our histo-
ry. 1t will mark the point Of time whence
began the restoration TO sOundness IN the
currency aud morals Of the land. We
speak net TO the disparagemenf Of other
States, but we speak what all we'll know
THAI during the last five years, the banks
almost the whole county over, have, as
often as the Legislatures met, invented
new excuses tor continuing TO suspend
to plunder the people-tO defy all
law--and 10 outrage every moral obliga-
tion. They have been able-by what
means the people must iudge--ro obtain
from the Legislatures either the express
or tacit sanction Of these iniquilies. Thus
has il been reserved for the Democracy
of tho "Wesiern Empire"-that Democ-
racy which, with Roman intrepidity, first
announced and established the sovereign
iy OF the people, in the right to repeal
those acts ofspecial privilege called char
ters, whenever proven to be ruinous to
the public welfare. II has been reserved
for that Democracy, in this instance also,
to take the lead in the great work Of a
natIOn's deliverance from the ruin aud
The rule ofroIlen corporations. This they
have done with a majority of but two in
each branch of the Legislature. OF this
maiDrity, even amidst the frightful de-
generacy of the times, not one man could
be fOnnd on whom bank impostures, threats
or brIbes, could prOduce the slightest ef.
feet. We note this with pride and with
pleasure, and we call the attention OF the
country 10 il, as an example of high nleg-
rity and heroic fOrtitude in that greNtState,
which seems determined TO assume the
post Of honor On all the fundamental points
uf the Democratic faith, whether they
relate TO the rights Of man or to the pre-.
servatIon Of the Union.

contain only three or four wings in the
two companies, but which parade on all
public occasions, which is highly credita-
BILE 10 their public spirit.
A correspondent Of the Guernsey Co
Democrat says:
"Thc procession passed round coup.
lie of squares,and came down IIiah street
four deep, and vide apart, which gave
good opportunity for counting them.-
They were counted from the ;3rd story Of
The American and from the Senate
Chamber, and there were 64S, besides
the TWO independent Companies of this

"Fhe next time they came round two
other squares, there were just 760 be-
sides these Companies, BY The count Of
two persons from different windows Of
the American Hotel. The procession
then went along to The old court house in
front of the Neil House, where stand
was prepared."
The Two gentlemen who counted and
informed us, did so with great care and
exactness; and we again repeat that the
failure was so palpable, that the getters
up Of the affair have been as snappish ey-

MONEY MATTERs.-The Indiana State
Scrip has suddenly fallen 10 from 90 10
80 per cent. discount in Cincinnati, and
IS no longer taken at par in trade. Some
oi this scrip was issued in 1910, bearing
Il per cent. interest, and payable twelve
months after date. This is now due, and
will probably all be redeemed before the
later issue, payable two years after date,
becomes due. We think, therefore, that
the first issue cannot remain long at a
great discount; and those holding it had
better not suffer Too great sacrifice on
H. by being over-eager TO get rid Of it. Il
must ultimately be redeemed. No State
will repudale her debts contracted in
good faith and according to law. Mis-.
siSslPpi only rePudialed her debt because
the transaction of the sale of the stock
was illegally made and in bad faith; and
she therefore treated ihe whole trausac.

bound by law nor honor. The charges
