Tttttr hi hMn heaw storms in many portions of the country doing great damage to person and property. Thk Paget Sound. PostofQce and Northern Prison rings, in Huntington county, have brought the blush of Shame to the face of more one honest Republican. TnAT staid old Republican Massachusetts defeats woman suffrage every time it is proposed in the Legislature. "45 bug juice" and "Pee Wee" bad better go out there as missionaries.

Arthur's veto of the Chinese bill sounds like the Morey letter, said to have been written by Garfield. Tie strange that the Republican leaders should so persistently advocate the Imnnrfallnn r1 ohaan lahnr itn fhia country. "The Democratic party Is a party i of blunders," says a Republican ex- change. We really like such "blunders" as were made a few days ago. It indicates that the voters prefer a and rascality in government officials.

James U. Kick is a candidate for Auditor of State, before the Democracy. Por several years Mr. Rice has served us well and faithfully as Sec retary of the Democratic State Committee, and his selection for the position named would be a fitting recognition of a faithful servant. Tite infamous "Decedent's Estate Act" still does Its work in robbing the widows and orphans.

By the way, where is that exposure that the Herald promised to give The Democrat man. The young Republicans of the country, with many old ones, are exceedingly anxious to see it. Tim Democratic party is torn asunder in Missouri over the killing of Jesse James. Herald. What must decent Republicans think of such "hog wash" items as the above, when they remember the circumstances of the killing of Garfield, who did it, and who now rules the Government? We very much desire that every Democrat in the county take this paper.

Our heavy expenses to place the office in a home of its own deserve the consideration of our friends, and to secure us a new subscriber on their parts will be duly appreciated by the publishers of Tnx Democrat. Chinese immigration to this country should be restricted. These people are brought here by speculators, who hire them at nominal wages for a term of years, and then make a large advance by again letting them to contractors. In this way the Chinamen are made a great hindrance and detriment to American labor. Besides this they add nothing to the Drofrresa or nf this vtnn.

try, but on the contrary, are a hindrance. The Republican party-lead en, at tue request ox monopolists who desire cheap labor, have refused to restrict the immigration of China- men to our shores, and for ihf th laboring, classes of America should. mo um opportunity, vote at every election, to displace that party from all power. Tnx Indianapolis Sentinel puts it correctly when it says: "Is it not passing strange that almost the same language was used by President Ar thur In bis veto of the Chinese bill that is found ta the Morey letter? We have a treaty with the Chinese Government, said the Morey letter, which should not be abrogated until our great manufacturing Interests are conserved in the matter of labor. Whoever wrote the Morey letter, it is evident that the opinions therein ex pressed are those of the Republican party as represented by their President.

A reading of the veto makes It plain to be seen that in the opinion of the President the interests of the manufacturers, railroad monopolies end prptlonhsrons generally nave ret jzl been conserved. Cheeky. The first fellow to make a motion in the convention last Saturday was Leopold Levy, of Northern Prison fame. With the Infamous record that has just been brought to light, one would naturally have supposed that the fellow would have been a little backward in push-; ing himself to the front, at a time when bis clothing transactions in that institution were a town talk. But Levy, DeLong and tbe Puget Sound clan claim to be leaders of the party in this county, and as long as tbe masses of their party submit, so long will they be heard from in all party conventions and the control of party work.

Is it not time to repu diate such leaders in county, State and nation Idle Men. Although there is an active demand for various kinds of skilled labor in the United States at this time, and a general upward tendency of wages is noted, yet the market for unskilled labor is largely overstocked, and there are many thousands of idle men vainly seeking employment. Washington liepbulxcan. Still, tbe President, whose organ the Republican is, could see his way clear to vetoing the Coolie bill. The many thousands vainly seeking em ployment, will, no doubt, put in a few of their spare moments in en deavoring to make the President's ac tion consist with tbe utterance or his organ.

Cincinnati Enquirer To this we might that these spare moments should partially be put in at the polls at each election this year, when a vote to oust the Republican party should be cast by every laboring man of the country. The Tariff Question. All money extracted from the pockets of the people, not absolutely, needed to defray the expenses of carrying on the various departments of the National Government, is so many dollars taken wrongfully. The present tariff laws levy an enormous tax upon tbe labor of the people, not to support the general government, but to foster a certain class of monopolies and enrich a few individuals at the expense of the many. These monopolies may be classed as the glass, steel, iron, rice, sugar, woolen; cotton and drug monopolies, with many more to enumerate, all of which are a constant drain upon the labor of the country.

In addition to this the burthens are increased be-j yond all endurance, by collecting large sums annually, not necessary to carry on the Government. Ao- cording to official statements, the sum reached the vast figures of over one hundred and fifty million dollars last year. This sum is hoarded in the United States Treasury. It amounts to three dollars per head for every inhabitant of our nation. If we could in addition to this add the amount paid by way of protection this vast sum would be quadrupled each year.

After gleaning, these facts the LaPorte Argus, whose edi-tor has a remarkable clear head upon this question, says I This over-taxing is going on unin-j terruptedly, notwithstanding the President and Secretary of the Tress- ury have called the attention of Con gress to tbe unnecessary revenues, and there is no hope of an early re- dress. The Republicans control Congress and refuse to do anything in the way of reform. Instead of striking a telling blow at the monopolies by reforming the tariff, as urged to do by the Democratic leaders, the Republi cans have met in caucus and decided to do nothing. They favor tbe formation of a commission toj investigate the matter, when everybody knows it is the business of Congress to, act at once and that the commission is to be formed to hoodwink the people and prevent action for two years. The extortionate taxation will go on, and the only remedy tbe people have is at tbe ballot-box.

The Congressman who evades the question or refuses in any way actively to favor retrenchment and reform, should be remembered and retired at the first Opportunity. The monopolies are rapidly and with braxen hunger gnawing at the very vitals of the people. To choke them off is the great and vital question now before the American people. The first step necessary is to elect men to Congress who have the courage and the will to grapple with the question in all Its parts and the rugged honesty not to be swayed by the blandishments of any of the monopolies. All subsidies to railroads, steamships and kindred enterprises shonld cease, and above all, the protective tariff, that feeds and encourages all the great monopolies, should be speedily reduced to a simple revenue bails.

Every cent of money collected beyond the actual requirements of the government is so much money extorted from the people and it is no better than highway robbery. The only remedy lies in tbe ballot, and the party that will not give the country reform does not merit the votes of honest men anywhere. The fact that the Republican party refuses to act, but goes on fostering monopolies and collecting hundreds of millions of dollars more than is required to meet the legitimate demands of the government, should be enough to condemn it in the eyes of every unpreju- aicea voter. To pension Grant at twelve or fifteen thousand dollars a year on this government is one of the infamous outrages that every honest soldier of tbe late war condemns, as do also many other people. The Director of the Northern State Prison, In this city, no clothing to the State of Indiana or the 23d Inst.

"WAYNE IJcVEAQH, QAB-t FIELD'S What He Thinks of the Present of His Partr. Attorney-General MacVeagh, late of President Garfield's cabinet, in a recent speech made before the Civil Service Reform Association of Philadelphia, among other good things, said: i i "My party leaves me In this predicament sv It has but three principles, and I find myself opposed to all three.

Its first great principle is the spoils system; the second is opposition to civil service reform, and the third seems to consist of repudiation in Old Virginia. Then the boss system is a degradation it goes from tbe gutter to the White House. It subsists on the spoils of office. The duty of this association and of the country is to supplant these bosses until that is done your work will not be executed. Xou cannot pretend to be interested in the degrading spectacle of Mahoneismin Virginia; the deliberate prostitution of government powers to aid repudiation of a State's obligations.

If we could charge that upon the Bourbon Democrats it would be some relief, but to our sorrow rand humiliation these things are done in the name of the party of Abraham Lincoln. of going forward tbe Arthur Administration, makes a retrograde movement" 1 Read the three as MacVeagh puts them: 1. The Spoils. 2. The Boss System.

'I 3. Repudiation of the State debt of Virginia. This terrible arraignment brings to mind the Star Route frauds; tbe Whisky Ring frauds; Repudiation; Conkling, Arthur, Grant aad the Bosses the death of Garfield at the hands of a spoils seeker, and the elevation ojt Stalwarts to all the important offices of the country. Who can contemplate the picture drawn by Gaefield's late Attorney-General without pausing, before voting i another Republican ticket, to consider where we are tending? Look around us and see if the evidences of Mac-Veagh's terrible arraignment of tbe Republican party, as it is now led, are aot visible on all sides. I The Republican politicians and office-holders will denounce MacVeagh, but there is a large class of voters in that party who will give ear to this great man's utterances.

The The 28th Judicial Circuit Is composed of the counties of Blackford, Grant and Huntington. The voters of these counties will be called upon this fall to select a judge. It has been the custom in past years for both of the political parties to present a candidate for the position, and we are stating it exactly when we say that there will be two candidates at the coming elections. In connection with tbe Democratic nomination, we have heard the name of Hon. James C.

Branyan mentioned by the Democracy of this and the other counties of tbe Mr. Branyan' has lived among this people for thirty-seven years and he is well-known to be an active, energetic and studious gentleman, nis early, education was received at the Marion seminary From this scljool be entered Wabash Colleget at Cfawfordsville, and was Within a few, months of graduation in the regular classsical course when he left Wabash College and enlisted in the After returning, he read law and was admitted to practice in this county) where he has continued ever since as a successful practitioner. Mr. jBranyan's knowledge of law and his temperament and habits certainly fit him for the judiciary, and it would be a great pleasure to his many friends in Huntington county should! the Democracy of the district accord him the nomination for a position that be is so Well fitted to fill. The Democratic Candidates.

It will be seen by our readers that already a number of gentlemen have announced their names for political preferment at the hands of the Democratic Convention which! is to be held the 17th of June. They are all, no doubt anxious to receive the nomination, but that only one for each of the places to be filled can secure, the prize, they all know, hence, we are not surprised to see them i putting in their best efforts. This is commendable and highly proper, let it be remembered that the Democratic party of the county expects each aspirant to maintain a spirit of courtesy and good will for those who are aspiring for tbe same position. This is Democratic, and the candidate that would build himself up by pulliug down some one of his fellow Democrats is not worthy of recognition in party preferences. This Is the sentiment of the masses of the party and we hope to see it so remain throughout this canvass.

Up to this time all has gene smoothly and let all labor to keep up unity and good will which is the cement that binds the victorious party. i FIREMEN'S PARADE.

Thieves Make a Raid Through Clear' creek Toumship, and Succeed in Obtaining a large Amount of Booty. It seems that for some time past this community has been infested by a gang of thieves, and their depredations are becoming entirely too frequent.

Following closely upon the heels of the safe-blowing at the office of Slack A Ayres, comes the news of a successful raid made by burglars in Clearcreek township some time during Tuesday night. That night an entrance was made Into the barn of Abraham Kay lor, and a fine young horse was taken therefrom, which animal was valued by Its owner at not less than $150. The thieves also carried away from this place a set of harness. A visit was also made to the bouse of Daniel Bechtol, who lives opposite Mr. Kay lor, and here the robbers received for their trouble about three dollars in money and a suit of clothes.

Of course they needed a buggy to go with the stolen horse and this they procured from the farm occupied by Mr. Jerry Stults, and here also saw another set of harness, and considered it would never do to leave It, so consequently appropriated it to their own use. The buggy was the property of Mr. Harmon Stults, of this city, but was kept on his farm on which his son, Mr. Jerry Stults, resides.

The vehicle was almost new, was one of Roth McGrew's make and was valued at $75 or $80, Of course, there is at this writing no clue to the burglars. While returning from church at Clearcreek last Sunday evening, Mrs. Kaylor heard voices of strange men, who were secreted in a culvert over which she passed, but did not get a sight of the strangers. It is probable these fellows would know more in regard to the transactions than i they would care to tell. Following so closely in the wake of Monday night's robbery, it is very probable that the same parties are implicated in both transactions.

Strenuous efforts will' be made to obtain some clue to tbe perpetrators of the crimes and there is strong probability that they will be eventually captured and brought to the punishment tbey so richly deserve. The Northern State Prison. Indiana poll Daiiy Timet (Republican!) THB HUNTINGTON DEMOCRAT makes a statement concerning certain operations of Mr. Leopold Levy, one of tbe Directors of the Northern Prison, which calls for explanation. Mr.

Levy; lives at Huntington, and is engaged in tbe clothing business in that city. Tiltt Democrat publishes seven bills for clothing furnished the prison author ities, amounting In the aggregate to $902.56, three of which are made out in the name of S. Rosenthal, a clerk in Mr. Levy store, and four in the name of W. It.

Caldwell, a young jeweler of Huntington, but are re ceipted by Mr. Levy. Upon the face Of the transaction it looks very much as if the clothing had been furnished bv Lery, and the bills made out in other names, for the purpose of deception. At all events, the fact that be receipted the bills clearly indicates that be was interested in the trans action. Section 144.

of the Acts of 1881, makes it a criminal offense, pun ishable by fine and imprisonment, for any public official to be i directly or indirectly interested in tbe profits of any contract in which the State is concerned. It is to be hoped that Mr. Levy can furnish a satisfactory explanation.
