INDIANA be ins to realize the
appropriateness of Democratic
administration. Eight years ago
when the Republican party went
ont OF power, the state debt was
100000, having been reduced
one-half in four years. Now it is
$S,0O0,OOO again, and the states
credit is ruined. An attempt to
raise 100000 by the sale OF
bonds in New York last March
found no buyers, and in May, when
they were offered again, nobody
would take them. Then they were
advertised for sale and on the 2lst
inst, were offered at auction, but
not a single bidder appeared, nor
has any one called since to enquire
about them. The Democratic
government needs money awfully
and it is proposed to offer a high
rate of interest. The matter recalls
similar difficulty of the Buch.
anan administration just before
closing up its affairs. 10 nav the
salaries OF the officers a loan was
put upon the market, which was
taken at II per cent. Three years
later, in the middle of a terrible
war,:a Republican administration
was able to procure all the. money
it needed at from 5to Z per cent
Now its three per cent. bonds are
eaglerly snapped up at a premium
and still the Democrats are no,
satisfied.

Two Opinions of Whiskey.
BOB INGERSOLL'S OPINION.


send you some of the most won.
derful whisky that ever drove the
skeleton from a feast or painted land
soapes in the brain of man. 1t is the
mingled souls of wheat and corn. In
it you will find the sunshine and the
shadow that chased each other over
the billowy fields, the breath of June,
the carol of the lark, the dews of night
the wealth of Summer and Autumn's
rich content-all golden with impris-
oned light. Drink it, and you will
hear the voice of men and maidens
sing the Harvest Home," mingled
with the laughter of children. Drink
it, and you'll feel within your blood
the startled dawns, the dreamy, tawnv
dusks of many perfect days. For forty
years this liquid joy has been within
the happy slaves of oak, longing to
touch the lips OF man.

In it you will find the moonshine that
made the marshal chase the shadows
over Western hills; the breath of
flame the whistle of police, the hood

for thinking you could fight. Drink
it, and you will hear the voices of
comrades singing "When JOHNNY

with the laughter of the boys. Drink
it, and you will feel within; your head
sense OF swelling-the booty bliss of
many high old sprees. For sixty DAYS
this liquid fire has been within the
meek and mild-eyed demijohn, longing
to scorch the throat of man.

At the Democratic primary election
last January, when the candidates for
county offices had thoroughly can
vassed the county, about 1,sOO votes
were cast. That Capt. Ellis received
only about half as many is due to a
number of causes. The farmers were
busy getting in their tobacco in an
ticipation of frost and part of the
day the weather was raw and inclem'
ent. Capt. Ellis had no opponent
and hundreds of Democrats who werf
for him regarded the primary as a
useless formality. Furthermore, Capt,
Ellis could not arrange to speak in
the county and there was no canvass
whatever. That he received as many
votes under the circumstances as he
did is a surprise to his friends.

John NJ. Klein died at his home in
Hartford, KY. Sept. 70, OF consump-
ton. He was II native of Germany,
but had been n resident OF Hartford
for thirty years. He was successful
hardware merchant. OF humble OH
gin and meagcr education, Mr.. Klein
was filled with "A love of science that
caused him to work out problems IN
many branches that had attracted the
attention of savants for years before
him. He made life study of COM
cts, and by some means that his limi-
ted knowledge of English. rendered
him unable to explain, he arrived at Il
correct theory of their origin, course
and destiny. He could and frequent
ly did predict the coming of comets
and even years in advance
with as much certainty AS other as
tronomers used in foretelling the So
lar and lunar eclipses.
In 1882 he predicted the great COM
ct of that year, months before it was
seen by any astronomer, and fixed its
location as exactly as could have been
done after its appearance. He used
no telescope, and for this reason he
was not recognized by the self-styled
scientists, though he frequently put
hem to shame by calling attention to
his predictions when they had been
'erilied months after they were made.
It is probable that the theory he
worked out perished with him.
