RATIFIED The "great unwash-
ed" of this city and vicinity ratified
the election of Cleveland Tuesday,
making a special effort to out strip
any like occasion before held here,
but this was successful only through
the aid of some Republicans, who
by Illuminating proved that they
were Amerlcanized, or in other
words Unionized, thereby setting an
example that has yet to be initiated
by the Democrats. The street pa
rade lacked greatly in order as to
marching seemed to be
his own maicr-general-while the
number was not as large as we had
reason to expect. The hurrahs for
st. John were often and quite appro-
pirate; fireworks good and enjoyed
by all. The TRIBUNE's transparency
on the event was, "President Cleve
land-may the country be as happy
and prosperous at the ending Of his
administration as at the beginning"
But is it not doubtful?

Mr.. JAMES CARBIs, an old resident
of this city, died suddenly at his
home on Friday evening the 4th.
He had been aiing for some days
from the effect of blood rushing to
his head causing severe pain. On
the day of his death he thought it
advisable to call physician and did
so, who prepared prescription for
his relief. About o'clock that
evening he arose from the lounge
on which he was resting and started
for the dining room when he sud
denly fell to the floor. His wife
hearing the fall quickly reached his
side and lifting him to sitting
posture called in assistance. The
doctor was Immediately called, but
before his arrival, bis spirit took its
flight.
Mr.. Carbis was born at Redruth,
Cornwall, England, May II, 1917,
and was 81 years and 6 months old.
lIe came to this country in the
year 1912. In I843 he was married
in this city to the wife who now
mourns his loss. With the eXcep-
ton of two years in California in
1902, and another brief absence
in Colorado, he has constantly
dwelt in this city. His business
was that Of a stone mason, and his
strong physical form well fitted him
for his occupation and made him a
first class mechanic. As citizen
he was quiet and reserved, preferring
his home after his days work was
ended to the general resorts of
others.
He leaves wife and four child
rem to mourn his loss. lie was
buried on Tuesday afternoon and a
large number Of friends followed
him to his last resting place in
Graceland cemetery.

Ir is time for all parties to cool
off and settle down to business,
We can talk this nation up or down.
There is not greater falsehood in
current use than that "Talk is
cheap" 1t is the most powerful
agency in use. We talk our town
into prosperity or adversely. The
best of towns can be talked out of
their real values, or talked into ficti-
tious values. Germany prohibits
American pork because the enter
prising American daily talks as if ,
few sick hogs represented the whole
pork product of the country. Again
q few herds of cattle catch cold and
cattle disease becomes a theme for
conversation from the ranchman's
shanty to the White House Europe
becomes frightened and talks of
prohibiting the shipment of Ameri-
can cattle, when 10! we wake up to
the fact that we have talked a tri-
fling local matter into a world scare.
The Same is true in everything. Let
few men who live comfortably,
but who are not making SO much
money as formerly, begin to call the
times hard, and it becomes conta-
gious from the saloon to the kitchen
and all business soon does become
dull-talked to death-by being
spoken against. Now while we did
not believe in Cleveland nor his
party, enough people did believe in
him to elect him, and he is the Pres
ident elect of the U. S., and we
don't propose to whine the country
inta mire. 1t becomes the duty o
every good citizen TO accept the viii
of the majority, and if they doub
the wisdom, by greater efforts main
tain the present prosperous course
with malice toward none.

but $4,000, including the payment
of 500, 200 principal and S6,65o inter-
est on our county debt. This is the
smallest tax levied in the county for
many years and is due partly to a

The Excitement of Tuesdays Bank Troubles
Dying Out business More Active.
INDIANAPOLIS July 16.
In nearly all departments trade was up to the
4sual average in July. In fact, grocers, hard
ware men, and leather dealers speak of trade as
brisk. 1t is cheering to know that some of our
Ieading commercial exchanges begin to be i'm
pressed with the belief that business is soon to
bake turn for the better. One of these papers,
N reviewing the situation, says:
'eThe second half of the year opens with
tubilant chorus upon the crops. Wheat prom
hes $50 600 600 bushels of winter and l50 000 600
bushels Of spring; corn 000, 00O, 900 bushels in
surfing cheap fodder for beef cattle, diaries and
dray-power and prodigious stock Of pork prod
nets; oats and rye nearly full crop; potatoes,
which are short in New England, are only per
cent short in the whole country. The Eastern
hay crop is eonfessedly short but cheap grain
will mitigate this deficiency. As TO cotton, the
next sixty days must determine, but the prospect
Is fair at present, and the acreage is probably
sufficient to bear a crop of 6, 600 900 bales with
p fair chance, and, with good season, possibly
100000 The stocks Of cereal in eight are not
large, and it looks as if the lesson of last year
hAd not been lost upon producers ana middle
men-and they will not again hold for higher
prices until they lose the market. The Euro
pean crop reports are unfavorable, but the de-
mand may not be sufficient to carry up Ameri-
ban prices. 1t viii probably be better for us, If
4 does not as it is important to the growth of
fhe sale Of our goods abroad that they should be
manufactured on the basis Of cheap food, low
prices and accordingly Of favorable wages. It
would be better for us, in Other words, to sell
$50, 900, 600 bushels Of wheat at eighty cents

though the two transactions would bring the
anne amount for we should have the advantage
f low prices at home in the former case The
great food products are now fully 20 per cent.
cheaper than they were two years ago, and
Nothing is probably Is per cent. lower
Locally, there is no change in values calling for
special mention. The sugar market il hardly as
strong as last week. 1t is said that sugar has
never been cheaper in the United States than at
ne present time. and glance at the sugar in
