IT LIVES AND KlCKSI

Since the late election in Ohio, we
have read a good mary obituary no
tees on the death of the "rag baby"
but from the stir tits making all over
Indiana, Ohio, and many other of the
Western and Southern States, it
looks as if "Phenix like" it had
arisen from its ashes. Meetings are
being called and "Greenback Clubs"
formed, not only in the rural dis
tricts," but in many Of the largest
and most prominent cities of the
West. We copy the following de-
claration and call for a mass meet
ing in the city Ct indianapolis, which
has been signed by over sis thou
sand voters Of that city and county!
The sentiments in. the call meet our
views and that. of many others in this
town and county, and we give them
in full, and suggest a call for a
meeting in Eaton upon the same de-
clarations. What say u citizens,
irrespective of party2
In view of the continued and in
creased depression of business, re-
sulting in the failure and bankrupt
CIV of all productive enterprise, the
enforced idleness Of thousands OF
honest, industrious working people,
the continued shrinkage Of values and
relative increase of taxation, the vast
burden of public and private debt
relatively increased by the depression
of all other values; all produced as
we believe by a mistaken policy oil
financial legislation; therefore, we,
the undersigned citizens and voters
of the city of Indianapolis and vicin'
ity, do unite in the following de.
mands upon the Congress of the
United States:
First. The immediate and uncon'
ditional repeal of the Resumption
Act of January Il, 1875, commonly
known as the Sherman Bill.
Second. The permanent retire
ment of all National Bank notes, an(
the substitution therefor of Nationa
Legal-tender paper money, to be is
sued directly from the Treasury o
the United States.
Third. The %re-funding of at leas
a portion Of the present nationa
bonded debt into bonds bearing
lower rate of interest, say 8 65 pc
cent, per annum, interconvertibl'
with national legal-tender paper mo
ney at the pleasure Of the holder.
And we further unite in a call TO
a mass meeting to be held Wednes
day, December l, 1875, in further
ance of these demands.

The great newspaper finanriers Of
the east are hearing the silver jingle
of numerous failures around them
and have a philosophy at hand; they
say that small houses are still feeling
the effects Of the panic of 1873 and
that suspensions are always hume
rous in the fall. So it seems; and ii
seems also to be a very lively fall
season in the suspension business
this particular time.

There is some discussion as to
whether the incoming or retiring
Governor shall appoint the Supreme
Court Commission provided for by
the new constitutional amendment.
The law simply provides that the
Governor shall appoint, SO we pre-
sumo the legality of the appointment
will not be affected, no matter which
exercises the prerogative. 1t is
said that Governor Allen comedies
that the majority of the Board
should be Republican, and that Gov.
ernor Hayes has intimated that the
minority should be Democratic.
With this basis for agreement, the
matter of who shall send the names
to the Senate will undoubtedly be
agreed upon by the two Governors
in friendly conference, Governor
Hayes selecting the Republican and
Governor Allen the Democratic
members of the Board.

Ex-senator Revels, the first man
Of the negro race who represented a
sovereign state in the United States
Senate, has written a letter to Presi.
dent Grant, dated Nov. 10th, in
which he ascribes the defeat of the
Republican party in Mississippi to
"unprincipled men who would keep
alive the bitterness Of the past and
inculcate a hatred between the races
in order that they may aggrandize
themselves by office and his emolu'
ments to control my people, the eff
fects of which is to degrade Them
Mr.. Revels regards the fact that col.
ored men in Mississippi have had
the good se2se to vote the democra,
tic ticket this fall as an suspicious
one for the State.

A decline of about forty per cent.
in the value of real estate in the city

1t is probable that the country
will be swept over with a great re.
ligious revival during the coming
winter. Moody and Sankey, who
created so wonderful an exciteme nj
in New York, are making it lively in
Philadelphia. They will come West
And then other evangelists will gel
at the same work, in a smaller way
The work will spread. One thing is
certain-there is enough wickedness
now prevailing to give all who de,
sire to do so, and ample field Of
labor.

1t is a mistake to say that the new
ly elected New Jersey Legislature
chooses a United States Senator to
succeed Senator Frelinguysen. His
term does not expire until 1877, and
his successor will be cosen by the
Legislature elected next year. The
present Senate, or rather a part of it,
will vote for him, but the maioity for
the Republicans in that body is SC
small that next years election may
overthrow it.

There is considerable talk about
Treasurer New resigning. 1t is a
great pity that this gentleman has
so much private wealth on hands
that a fat government Office has no
attractions for him, and he accepts ii
only as a matter of accommodation
to a bleeding nation and at great
sacrifice to himself. However, he
has not yet resigned, and there are
many who think he never will.

The Republican papers are all
volunteering advice to the Democrats
as to who ought to be the Speaker
of the House, and they are generally
in favor of Kerr, of Indiana. They
talk about it just as if they had a
majority. but we suppose that re-
suits from habit, as they have been
accustomed to controlling it so long
that they a not realize the fact that
they have lost the power to make a
Speaker. Their impertinence will
do them 10 good, for the Democrats
will choose a Speaker to suit them
selves, and it is not probable that
he will be any man strongly urged
by the Republicans.

10 BE A DEMOCRAT,

To be a Democrat is to be a lover
of good government.
A supporter Of good laws, and as
few of them as possible.
A defender of the rights Ct minor
tiles.
A respecter Of the rights Of others.
A warrior for the weak and a de-
fender for the defenseless.
An advocate for the greatest good
to the greatest number, without In
jury to the few.
He behaves in the right OF the
people to eat, drink s,and veal what
ever they please.
He hates military government;
wars upon civil or military ~despotism
and despises anarchy breeders.
Democrats stand by the inherent
rights Of all men.
This is Democracy.

Dayton has taken action on the
tramp question, and has leased for
a term Of twenty years the old Coun-

made to earn their living by working
on the streets in the daytime.

The Richmond, Virginia, postofice
has been long and satisfactorily filled
by a Miss Van Lew, but as the ad-
ministration must needs rally all its
forces for next year, and a female Of
fec -holder cannot assist much, it is
proposed to remove this woman and
place a Judge Morton in her stead.
He can fill the Office to some effect,
and can also assist in gathering the
clans. Undoubtedly the change will
be made in a short time.

The official organ OF Russia thinks

The official organ OF Russia thinks
that Europe was never in a better
condition for peace than at the pre-
sent time, and no danger of a fracas
exists. This is well. War, on the
whole, is to be condemned. 1t is
generally brought about by injustice
on one or both sides, and then, is al
ways more or less unhealthy. Peo-
pie frequently get killed by going to
war. We are glad Russia doesn't
want to shoot anybody.

The New York papers say that
there are more paupers and tramps
on the public this winter than last.
And many honest, hard working de.
serving poor people want who never
wanted before. No money, no work,
no anything, but high rates of int.
rest, and steady pinching contrac.
ton. And yet about this time 'the
silver was to jingle in the poor mans
pocket"

in the North, force himself upon his
party as its candidate.

TOO MUCH MONEY

TOO MuGH MVNGIi
The large number of failures and
suspensions that are still daily &C.
curing affords food for reflection,
and now that the election is over and
the excitement passed away, men OF
thought car view the state Of our
financial condition without that sto-
lid prejudice which possessed them
during the campaign. Hundreds
who voted the radical ticket but one
month ago, already see the mistake
they made and feel that the policy
advocated by that party is certain to
lead to ruin and destruction the in
dustries of our county. But it is
too late; failures continue, and when
one man>fails it effects a dozen more,
and the worst feature of all is, that
in 1879 we will be no nearer specie
than we are to-day, with hundreds of
our best business men Frustrated
and bankrupted through contraction
and Republican government. Unless
thersis a change, and we go back to
the democratic policy of light taxes
and economy, reputation is sure to
follow. We know this policy is the
best, and that none other al be- de-
pended upon to bring the ship of
State into a safe harbor-and we
know that under Radical rule mat
tiers are growing worse and that a
change could not be any more disas-
trous to the commercial interests Of
the country, than at present. Until
there is a change, we expect to have
our budget of failures and suspen-
sions to chronicle each week, that
our readers may see whether the
radical campaign cry Of "too much
money" in the country, was not all
humbug and a deception. We have
not SO many to publish this week,
but the reader will observe in the
announcements that of a dry goods
house in New Paris, this county, and
that the "hard times" are closing in
upon us nearer home:

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range car rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baf1ed the best Of
human skill While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
