MORE INDEBTEDNESS. In accord
ance with the Wall street bankers
and gamblers theory that a ma
tional debt is a national blessing
and Notwithstanding the national
treasury has over one hundred mill
ion dollars in it, which ought to be
applied to paving the bonded in
debtedness-Cleveland and Carlisle
have advertised for bids for fifty
millions u. $. bonds. bearing five
per cent. gold interest, SO as to af-
ford the New York gamblers in
bonds a chance to invest their mon
ey in gold interest securities. Its
not any wonder times are hard, and
likely to get harder, when the adj
ministration is needlessly increasing
the burdens Of the people in this
wav.

II have often wondered" said a
man to Underwood Armstrong. the
well known builder, why the win
dows Of new building are daubed
with soap or paint as soon as they
are put i'll. l have taken notice of
new buildings for years and never
knew it to fail, whether on business
streets or away out in the suburbs.
1t can't be done to prevent people
from looking IN, because the marks
usually consist Of a rough circle or
cross in the center Of each window
pane. Iwish you would explain the
mystery"
That's easy enough, replied Mr..
Armstrong. 1t is done to save the
windows"
ITO save the windowsl"
Yes. You see. the men at work
in a new building are often careless
and get into the habit of throwing
things out of the windows or poking
around with long boards and things
that stick out through the window
sash. Now, unless they know a win
dow has been put in they perhaps
wouldn't see it. especially plate glass
windows. Or they may be told and
forget. During all the time the build
ing has been in course Of erection
there has been no glass in the win
dows, and the glass is liable to get
smashed, either from the inside or
outside, unless people know it is
there. So they daub soap or paint
on the windows. It's the same thing
as saying. Look out or you'll break
the glass. Detroit News.

ksJ-The COURIER rises to remark
that it believes the defeat of Il G
Democratic candidates for township
officers in Boone township. and
something Of the shortage in the
Democratic vote in the county. may
be attributed to the system Of Sc
lectAg nominees by a primary
election. Party experience has
shown it is not the best way to unite
a political party on ticket. There
are too many persons guilty Of the
dishonorable action of voting at a
primary election, where the vote is
secret, and not voting the ticket AT
the regular election.

THE PEACOCK POET.

lscorn the peacock bard who sings
With verbal affectation
To overdress the offerings
OF his imagination.
l love the honest rhymer who
Avoids all verbal mazes
And puts the beautiful an true
In clear and simple phrases
His thoughts no pompous garment wear,
Whose thoughts are worth preserving.
Who loves the fanciful and fair
With ardor never swerving,
Hates empty forms and vain deceits
And makes his pleasant duty
To fill a world with fancied sweets
And draw the veil from beauty.
Who'd have his fellows laud the more
His skill al ornamenting.
Than what OF loveiiness or lore
His verse may be presenting.
l. not the bard who. like a star.
Lights up the darkness. showing
How full OF beauty all things are
And life how well worth knowing.

NOTHING TO BRAG ON.

The large majority OF the Repub-
leans on the 9th inst. furnishes
nothing for them, as a party, to
brag on. Their vote i not as large
as it has been heretofore. Six
years ago in Dubois county they
gave Hovey 122l votes while this
year their vote is only ll49.
And it is SO generally. The Repub-
lican majority was not caused by a
majority OF the People endorsing
their protection Of millonares, or
their Gold Bug theories; but was
caused by Democratic voters, who
believe in honesty IN politics as well
as in personal affairs, not being
willing to endorse Cleveland. Cor
man, Hill and Carlisle's traitorous
conduct towards the policy promis-
ed by the Chicago platform-upon
which they were electcd-and so
they did not vote at all. Even in
New York City they registered, to
show that they were still there, but
the total vote shows they failed to
90 TO the polls on election dav.
These voters undoubtedly intended
to show Cleveland and Carlisle that
they must ''tell the truth" instead
OF Icing about the plank in the
Chicago platform in regard to silver
coinage, and German, Hill and Nc
Pher-on that they must abide by
the promises Of the platform in re-
gard to the tariff and income tax.
Now if the Democrats in the
coming session of congress will but
act honestly with The People, and
redeem the promises a. to equal
coinage and tariff for revenue,
(and the first j. vastly the more i'm
portant TO the common masses }
made in the Chicago platform, with
out regard to the Presidents mill
ioLaire leanings, Clcveland's bull
headedness, and Carlisle's British
worshipping, and German, Nc
Pherson and Hills protection trust
ideas, will not prevent these stay
at-home Democrats from being. al
the polls in 1896, and voting for a
Western Democrat like Bland, or
Morrison, or Altgcld, or Debs. or
shanklin, or Matthews. or DENLY,
or Campbell, or any Western man
representing like principles who
may be the De mocratic nominee.
and electing him President bv d
larger majority than Cleveland re-
ceived.
But there must be no monkeyiny
on the money or tariff question, for
a. long as there is practically no
difference between Democrats and
Republicans, many people will not
vote at all. Harrison, Sherman.
Cleveland and Carlisle agree on the
money question, a. Mckinley and
German are twins on the tariff
question. The people want no
such leaders.
