The Parade.
The feature of Tuesday was the pa
rade of old veterans. The line of march
was SO arranged as to take in the FASH
jonable residence quarter and the bust
ness districts. Major General Carna-
han was chief marshal. The parade
started from Seventh and Meridian
streets at 1920 with the Illinois posts,
by virtue of their seniority, in the lead.
No such crowds were ever seen in the
Hoosier capital. Naturally the Hoosier
element predominated, although Hi
nois, Ohio, Wisconsin and other neigh
boring states were well represented
In the evening campfres were held
at scores of places.

About the silIiest thing we have

About the silIiest thing we have
yet read in a newspaper, is the
attempt of the Kanawha Gazette
to read Hon. Jas. Capehart out of
the Democratic party, because he
voted for all the amendments to the
silver bill. Friend Summers is
young yet, and if he lives a few
years longer, he may learn some
thing he does not know. He pre-
tends to say that Mr.. Capehart
misrepresented the Democracy of
this District, when the fact is Mr..
Capehart was nominated on the
strongest kind of free silver plat
form, and in voting as he did he
carried out the wishes of the Democ-
racy of the Fourth District, and
also, his pledges to the people.
No Democrat can be elected to
Congress from the Fourth District
unless he is a free silver advocate.
ThislDistrict is for free silver, and
Mr.. Capehart for his manly course
in Congress upon this question, will
bere-nominated for Congress by the
Democracy of the Fourth District,
and will be again triumphantly
elected. Bro. Summers should
come down into the Fourth District
and learn the sentiment of it's peo-
pie on the silver question, before he
reads Fourth District Democrats
ont of the party.

Farmers have just cause for com
plant of the low price of wool
under the Mckinley tariff. 1t can
not be otherwise as long as the
Mckinley tariff is operation. Peo-
pie are learning every day that
protected" wool means low wool.
When the Democrats get the right
sort of tariff laws in operation, the
mills will be able to run all the
time and will thus furnish a market
for wool and consequently remu-
nerative price.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Germany's
first ambassador to the United STATES,
Baron Won Saurma- Jeltsch, presented
his credentials to the president, and
the customary speeches were exchanged.
The German ambassador, in his re-
marks, expressed his pride at having

still further strengthen these friendly
relations, and begged him to convey to
the German emperor the earnest wishes
of himself and his countrymen for the

A Washington special states that
the thousands of applications of
veteran soldiers for pensions under
the old law, which were side-t tracked
to give the law of 1890 chance to
make votes for Harrison, are now
to be taken up and disposed of.
The old veterans did not desire to
apply under the law of 1890, but
not being able to get hearing of
their cases because of this political
move of Raum, many of them
applied for and received pensions
under it. Had their cases under
the old law been disposed of, many
would have drawn larger pension
than they were granted under the
disability act.

While the battle of the standards
is going on in Congress the people
are rapidly putting themselves in
shape for better times. The judic-
ious investment of idle money, the
payment of debts and the resumpt-
ion of business with the banks as
the safest and best repositories for
surplus capital, are rapidly solving
the problem of bringing removed
prosperity to the country.

The tariff war between Russia
and Germany is liable to result in
war. Russia placed a prohibitory
tariff on the manufactures of Ger
many, and Germany retaliated by
putting an equal tariff on the agri
cultural products of Russia. The
Russian farmer is thus deprived of
a market, and his wheat has fallen
rapidly in price. We are to-day in
the same position. We have shut
out the farmers purchaser, and his
wheat has fallen. Under the
Mckinley bill everything has fallen
it was SO from the time of its pass
age, and since the stringency
occasionef by the Sherman bill
began the fall in prices has been
fastened. From 1890 until the
present time prices have decreased,
bat now there is rift in the clouds:
higher prices are surely coming.
All business men are growing more
hopeful. Business will improve,
Notwithstanding the assaults made
upon it by "bushwhacking journal
lists" and stump-speaking pessimists.
Republican politicians who live off
the earnings of the deluded people
are hoping and praying for the
depression not to let up until after
the election. They would rather
see business suffer than that their
chances of filing a county Office
should be jeopardized. The hopes
and aspirations of the men in bust
ness extend beyond the confines of
partisan politics, and they are pre-
pairing for the fall trade with bright
hopes of having good trade.

Business prospects throughout
the United States seem to have
improved considerably during the
last few days, large number of
factories that were closed down
some time ago having resumed
operations, in many instances with
full forces. Financial stringency
and a certain amount of distrust
still continue to annoy business
men, but the evil is soon, it is
believed, to be remedied, and then
old prosperity will return with
renewed vigor.
