MafCE IL, lOfU.
Mr.. Bickle, the fifth member Of the Com
mittee, did not agree with the others and
declined to sign the report. The petition
for extension reached the legislature at
the heel of the session and did not sue
coed. The reasons given IN the COM
mittee's report as to the improvements in
which new addition would share, are
much greater now than they were then;
for then the city had a reservoir that hard
1y waterea Its own people, a system of
street lighting much inferior to tie elec-
trio light. and streets on which a good
piece of roadway was an exception. AS
matter of equity there are hardly two sides
to the question, and over year ago the
VINDIcAToR urged the extension On the
ground that district inhabited by pop
ulation, as Messrs. Shelly Cochran,
Blackley and Evans put it, "the heads OF
whose families are engaged in business in
the town, and all of whom are more or
less dependent on, and participants in the
benefits of the corporation and its i'm
proyements, should as matter Of justice
contribute towards paying the expenses
of the corporation.
The increase of population by the pro-
posed addition may be put down roughly
at $50, with voting strength of about 200.
REMoNsTRANCE AGAINST THE Elk.
TENSION.
A petition, signed by citizens of the
district proposed to be added, and it is
said by others outside of it, to The legisla-
ture demonstrating against the proposed
extenson, is being circulated. One
objection urged by the signers IS that the
city is not in condition to give improve
ments to the addition. Mr.. 1ams read a
statement to the Council, Wednesday
night. to show that the city is fully able to
furnish it light, water, and street improve
meutS.
One thing the property holders of West
End seem to overlook. and that is that
they have paid taxes in the county for
many years and all they have to show for
it, Is two little bridges thrown across a
run. The city proposes to spend all the
taxes they pay for five years to come on
improving the new addition-lights, water
and paving. Can any property holder
doubt the benefit of getting bis taxes back
ip that way?

To tie Ladies and Gentlemen Of tile Cast and
Chorus Of the Opera '',Sorcerer."
LADIES, GENTLEMEN The receipt of your
message of to-day's date has been to us a very
agreeable surprise. The idea of giving US a
benefit, shows us that our work has been ap-
preciated by the amiable students we have
had the pleasure of instructing for some
weeks.
Can we get up "Chimes of Normandy" in so
short time?
Sixty days ago we would have hesitated in
giving an answer, but after we have seen what
dramatic and musical talent Staunton pos
sesses, we answer:
Although ''Chimes of Normandy is an
opera of a heavier character than 1.-The Sor-
cerer," and requires great deal of acting, we
are able to bring it on the boards within the
mentioned time, and make success off.
Accepting the proposed benefit, Ladies and
Gentlemen we wish at the same time to ex-
press the hope, that the operate and Drama
tie organization we all intend to form, may be
a long and successful one.
Respectfully,

An Irishman's Search for a Party-The Free
Trade Democracy Viewed and Reviewed.
TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Like the majority of my countrymen, the first
thing looked for when came to America was
''the party of Jefferson of Madison. and of
Monroe" In 1901 William Cob5e,t published
in London a work called ssPorcupine's Works,
Exhibiting Faithful Picture of the United
States, Their Government, Laws, Politics Re-
sources. etc. from 1888 to 1901" In this work
was told that jefferson was "the arch enemy
of England, her trade and ner commerce. and
that his Democratic clubs were organized to
keep her manufactures out of America" Here
is an extract in his commercial report 17941.
Jefferson maintained that II is to foreign
tons that the people of America must look for
a market for their products, but to their own
means of Independence, and the firm will to use
them" PorcuDine's Works, Vol. /. p. 349.
These were the principles of jefferson; where
are they nowf In order to find those glorious
principles, in what direction must look to-day!
Not 10 the so-ealed Democratic party. / am
dogon sure. No; they abide with the Republican
party alone. Listen again Will Cobbett:
jefferson is Freuchmau in everything but
the mere accident of birth; he hates England
and the principal scheme of his life is to exclude
English goods from the American market by
prohioitory tariffs; but the fashions against
him." lPorcupine. Vol. V, p. 344l Now Is not
the Democratic party of twenty-sfonc Stephen
the very reverse Of all thisi It surely is. Then
