THERE are nine newspapers in this
county. Among all these there is
only one that was subsidized. Each
of the others was started with individ-
ual capital, as a business enterprise,
by men who expected to make a liv-
ing from their legitimate receipts and
not by levying contributions upon any
persons or any organization. The
one exception was not started as a
business enterprise. 1t was brought
here by bonus, sum of money
which was put up by certain persons
who desired the paper for political
purposes. The editor was hired to
come and hired to write editorials
which were not the expression of his
honest opinion, as is proven by the
fact that he has since established a
Republican paper. 1t is no secret that
this editor repeatedly levied assess
ments upon the politicians who had
brought him here in order to make
good the difference between the pa
per's receipts and its expenditures.
We'do not say that the paper is still
sustained by similar methods, because
we do not know. But that it was
started by subsidy, and maintained
during its first year by contributions.
we do know. The paper to which we
refer is the official organ fthe Peo-
pies party. In view of the fact that
their own organ is the only subsidized
paper in Allen county, it occurs to us
that the allusiOn in the resolutions of
the late convention to the subsidized
Republican press" is highly tinctured
with gall.

4. C. Gazette: Congressman Fun
ston made telling hit in preparing
the minority report of the house COM
mittee on agriculture, on the effect OF
the present tariff law upon agriculture
when he said that 1.-The democrats in
the house, having a majority over the
republicans of 153, are to adjourn with
out having made any effort to repeal
the Mckinley tariff law should settle
the question as TO whether or not
in the opinion of the majority of
the house the law is wrong and
oppressive. That the agricultural
list is having hard time no one will
dispute, but we cannot, however, look
back 10 any better times, nor to so
good, excepting, of course, war times"
The report also directs attention TO
the decrease in the cost of living since
the Mckinley law went into effect,
and asserts that there is not a single
article Oh the list of American goods
that is not cheaper to-day under a
protective tariff than it was under the
free trade Of 1850.

AN editorial in recent number of
the New York TimeS-good free trade
Democratic authority-made this sig
nificant comparison:
Mr.. Edward Atkinson has Just made
TO the bureau of statistics a report in
which he shows that the annual
wages of mechanics have advanced
from $3.50 in 1860 to 500 in 1856, and
that the difference in the purchasing
power of their wages was even great
er than these figures would indicate.
This difference he puts at an advance
in the purchasing power Of the wages
of the skilled laborer from eighty to
one hundred per cent in the past
twenty years and in the wages of the
unskilled labOrer at from forty to fifty
per cent in the same period. These
conclusions Mr.. Atkinson arrives at
with his usual care. They are calcu-
hated TO staTtle even those who thought
they had tolerable accurate notion
of the industrial condition of the
country.
These figures areassuredly calculat-
ed to startle those who have been pro-
claiming that the country sis on the
verge OF material ruin"

WHEN some man is named for a
public office, against whom no charge
of dishonesty or incapacity can be
brought, the cry usually resorted to is
that he is ''stuck up" that he is ian
aristocratn and thinks himself "toO
good to speak to common people. !"
This is the very cOmmOnest and
cheapest campaign lie, and the amaz-
ing thing is that anybody should be
influenced by it. If one would stop
a moment to think he would see that
such a charge made about any pOliti-
clan must be false from the very ma
ture of the case. 1t is to the office
seekers interest to know everybody
and to treat everybody cordially. His
success depends upon it, and he
knows it. If he were moved, then, by
nothing better than selfish motives,
he would show himself as friendly as
possible to all classes and conditions.
And he would do this, not only when
he was a candidate, but at all other
times. to the end that he might win
the popular favor, without which he
could never hope to succeed. These
truths are so apparent that it would
hardly seem necessary to state them.
AS a matter of fact the charge that a
candidate is "stuck-up'' ought to be
in his favor rather than against him,
for in nine cases out of ten it means
that he respects himself, that he val
ues his good name, that he goes to
church on Sundays, that he has edu-
cation and ability. And in ten cases
out of ten il means that there is no
other charge which can possibly be
trumped up against him. To attempt
to stigmatize man as IAN aristOcrat"
is the last resort of a defeated and dis
appointed enemy, and it ought to be
treated with the contempt it deserves.

A Pleasant Party.
Crowded out last week }

There was pleasant social gather.
ing at the residence of Mr.. Geo. Sher-
rill in Prairie Dell district Saturday
evening July 80. At an early hour
the neighbors and friends began to ar
rive until some forty-five were pres
ent. The happy guests were enter
tanned by music both vocal and in
strumental, when to their surprise
they were ushered into the dining
room where the table stood fairly load
ed with cake and delicious ice cream
to all of which everybody did ample
justice. The occasion was a delight
full one in every respect.

Rev. J. l. Robinson sermon on 1.-the
Sabbath or the Repeating of the law'
was one of more than ordinary inter
est. The Position he took was that
the old Law had been abrOgated and
that the new dispensation now fills
its place. His discourse was logical
and convincing, and the doctrine he
advocated was so thrOughly Fortified
by scriptural proofs that it seems that
there would be but little chance for
successful opposition. Ed and John
Crook have returned from the West.
They say that there are more work
hands there now than can get en-
ployment at any price. j. Butler
has purchased the residence belong
ing to NJ. NJ. Hart in lola and expects
to remove part of his family there
sometime during September. He
will likely remain ON the farm him
self. Robert Crook returned from
California recently, fully convinced
that that is not the loveliest place in
the world. C. Cleaver and Lille,
and o. H. Carnahan were visiting
near Erie the first of the week.

IN nominating VIM. Rath, of Hum
bOldt, as their candidate for State
Senator, the opposition in this District
have without doubt placed their
strongest man in the field. Mr.. Rath
has been a resident of Humboldt for a
great many years and is highly es-
teemed in that community as a bust
ness man and a good citizen. He is a
man of fair education and good ability
and will make strong campaign.
Presenting that as much as this may
be said of the Republican nominee,
the issue then, in this District, is one
of principles, as it should be, more
than of men. Mr.. Rath, if elected,
will favor the measures that are pro-
posed to ca rry out the principles ad-
vOcated by the Peoples party, and
will vote for Peoples party man for
United States senator. Mr.. Scott, if
elected, will favor the measures that
are proposed to carry out the princi-
pies advocated by the Republican
party, and will vote for Republican
for United States senator. The issue,
then, so far as the office of State sena-
tor in this District is concerned, is
summed up in this single question: Do
the majority of the voters of Allen
and Woodson counties desire the tri-
umph of Peoples party principles in
State and nation, or the triumph of
Republican principles? The result of
the election will be the answer to that
question.

''IF we would feed the Republicans
sour-crout dumplings the night before
election" said Mr. ChOguill, maybe
they would all get up the next day
and vote the Peoples ticket" We
perfectly agree with Brer Choguill
that this would be the most effective
campaign argument the People could
possibly use. We don't know of any
thing that would be more likely to
incline a man TO join the Peoples
party than a well-develOped case of
dyspepsia.

SOME of the Peoples party OracIes
in this county are furnishing some
brilliant examples of logical argument
these days. One of them was wailing
the other day because certain neigh
Dor had raised but II bushels of oats
per acre. y Republican mentioned
another neighbor who had raised 40
bushels and asked who was RESPONSE
BILE for this difference. Nobody but
the Id eastern money lOanersr'
was the oracle's reply. And the
strange part of it was that he actually
meant what he said.
