1--WE would say to our advertis-
ing patrons, that all advertisements
handed in before 2 o'clock, P. M, will
be published in our next days issue
If after that time they must lay over
until the next day This rule is in
despensably necessary and will be
strictly observed
The necessity Of writing in a plain
and legiblc hand, spelling each word
out in full, is obvious without It there
il no security that Advertisements viii
be correct. Though it is understood
that compositors are acquainted with
all manner of hieroglyphics, yet it can
not be expected that they can guess
what people want.

D-It will be seen by reference to
our advertising columns that an elcc-
ton of Sclcctman for the Second
Ward to replace Mr. KELLuM, will
take place on the fourth day Of January
next Although the period for which
the candidate will have to serve, will
be short, the service required of him
will be important, as it becomes the
duty Of the present board, before re-
firing from Office to assess the taxes
for the current year, a duty which we
deem Of the utmost Importance, and
therefore hope that some discreet per-
son,will be elected to ill that response
bic station, as much may depend on
his vote.

A COOP IlIT.-lt is quite common
to hear of a good hit made by some
favoritc Of fortune, an actor, or a dan-
sense, but the manner in which one
ofthc corps of ballet dancers at the
National theatre in Washington made
hit the other evening was at once
novel and amusing The Washington
correspondent of the Charleston News,
in his letter of the 10th inst, thus
describes the occurrence
Speaking of dancing reminds me of
a good hit made last night at the thea
tire by one Of the corps Of French and
Spanish ballet dancers there exhibit.
ing. 1t may reasonably be presumed
that these artists do not dance with
great coats on An impudent fellow,
setting near the footlights Of the stage
was particularly engaged in spying the
lady through a double-barrel opera
glass This seemed to annoy her; 50
as soon as she spur and flew to that
portion of the house, she suddenly and
gracefully kicked the glass from the
white kidded hands of the exquisite.
This feat Immediately attracted gener-
al admiration, and the danseusc went
off with deafening yells of applause,
while the young gentleman was glad

HoNEsTY--We copy the following
paragraph, recording an act highly
honorable to poor man, from the St.
Louis Republican of the 9Th inst. We
cannot understand, however, why the
writer styles the son Of toll "a poor but
honest shoemaker" Is it SO strange
to find honesty allied to poverty
On Monday evening last a gentle
man named Michael Bowling stepped
into the shop of poor but honest
shoemaker, near the corner Of Four
teenth and Biddle streets, and while
in the act of paying bill accidentally
dropped a roll of bank bills amounting
IN value Of 1920. On the ensuing
day the shcemaker'net Mr.. Bowling
in the street and handed him his mon
ey untouched. 1t had been picked up,
he said, by his little grandson. The
mans name is VIM. Hamilton, and bis
grandchild, Charles Hamilton. l

A Consistent Organ.

The Indiana Journal the organ of the Wing party II
Indiana has been making desperate efforts ever since
the month of February last, to show that the Demo
cratic party anxious precpste the country into
to assist Kossuth in crushing Austria and achey
ing the independence Of Hungary This done, no;
because the Journal believed the Democracy were in
favor of anything of the kind but because it thought
could thereby ALLEVIATE certain Irish Democrats from the
ticket, State and National which they had been accus
toned to support
The Journal, however, appears have changed its
tune Failing Ia its Efforts 10 convince the Irish Demo-
Of the propriey of abandoning their old and tried
friends by the cry Of Intervention" it seeks to
array the Germans whose sympathes supposed to
be with Kossuth against the Democracy the ground
that the resolutions Of the Wing National Convention
more favorable Kossuth and his doctrines than
those adopted by the Democratic Convention. To prove
this the Journal of the 18th inst has the following the
first article in it's editorial column:
The National Era, strong Kossuth paper, says that
the Democratic Convention not only refused to adopt
the Kossuth doctrine concerning Intervention but
mean, selfish, cold-booded resolve, that in view oil
the condition of the popular Institutions in the Old
World it the duty of the American people to take
care Of themselves! That is the and substance Of
the resolution Not word Of sympathy for the strug
CLING millions in EuTope-not word Of appreciation for
the Democratic Cause or Champions in Europe The
whole burden Of the resolution that the great duty
the American people is, to take care of number ONE
Although does not like the resolution adopted by
the Wing Convention the subject, il says ''it is
little respectable, little less selfish 1t acknow-
lodges sympathy with struggling freedom every where
and admits by implication that we may propagate our
republican opinions by peaceful and honorable means
but it is cowardly.
notwithstanding this, effort making 10 induce Tbs
Germans Of the country TO go against the Wigs be-
cause Of the ground assumed by them in the National
Convention, rhen is acknowledged TO be much more
liberal than the adopted BY the Democracy"
What beautifully consistent paper is this Wing or
gan. 1t tells Irishmen that the Democrats want TO
unite the United States with England in against
Austria. 1t tells Germans, whose sympathes it believes
to be with KossuIh and Hungary, that the ground
sumed by the Wing National Convention is liberal
than that adopted by the Democracy. "Fool whof'

BLooMINGToE, July 20, 1902
Mr. EDITOR Among your numerous correspond
ents do not know that you have even one in Monroe
county, and this is place of Importance in Indiana
have been thinking for sometime would write you
letter. and you thought proper TO publish It, would
occasionally drop you line.
Now, you know, Mr. Editor, | am no politician,
neither from instinct, choice, from necessity, but
feel it a privilege TO let the " unterr6ed" know
throughout the length and breadth of State that the
Democracy OF old Monroe, all righthe Gazette
the contrary, Notwithstanding. / know Just what I
think OF the the Gazette has taken relation
Judge Perkins, and know what the Democracy think
Of il. Talking is thing, and voting is another.
Judge Perkins will lose many from the par.
ty vote in this county he will gain the party
vote in Wayne county
A old friend from the county says il is rather strange
the Gazette should have made the startling discovery
Judge Perknss ncompetency and wonders why the at
orney and the at Indianapolis and throughout the
State, are so silent But this is easily accounted for
in the rst place inventions confined any local
y and secondly neither the Bar, the Press believe
word of it,
There may be, however, something In the atmosphe,e
about Bloomington, that has produced this effect the
Gazette; and it is, it be confined to small
rents veins for there very few affected by il; and
am rather inclined to think this the true situation, or
of the disease with which few of citizens
have been troubled; ii is entirely confined to the at
mosphere Of Monroe county. Now you know, Mr..
Editor this is nothing very strange after all, for you
and have both read OF grotto in the vicinity Of Ma
pies, where there currents of carbonic acid gas,
about two or three feet high, which a walking
erect pass through unharmed but dogs and other
small animals always less affected in pas
sing through it, mention is an illustration not as
comparison.
After all this casing of the Gazette there is but one
person that will be inured-but that will suffer, and
that is the Editor OF the Gazette These outbreaks of
his many in his political integrity, through
which the passer by looks in and the corruption Of
this whted sepulcher. The Democracy see through it
they understand it, and do the Whgs-and those
too who are chiefly interested, although they like the
treason well enough-yet they despise the traitor.
There is but little excitement here in politics. The
Scott soup cold the Graham bread is moudy and the
gunpowder won't burn at ALL There is enthusiasm,
but in place Of it, solid apathy that is startling
even the Wings themselves. They called npon to
arouse; wake up to form Scott clubs; to bragg to
almost bet hut like very sleepy man. they say @ oh
yes, and turn over and 60 to sleep again.
