The Indiana Herald from Huntington, Indiana • Page 4

Editor TTs have concluded to extend our oiler during January, and all who pay aU arrearages and one year ca3h in advance daring the month will re ceiye the additional paper for one year fret of charge. This offer will positively close the last day of January, and this fact all should remember. Thk Democrats of the Ohio Senate threaten to adjourn from day to day, every day for one year, if necessary, in order to prevent an Investigation Into the frauds of Hamilton county at late elections. Thk national free trade convention will meet in Washington within a short time. Of course.

It meets in the "interest" of the laboring men of the nation. Like Democratic promises, those of the free traders are considerably of a bait.

me preliminary work be well done; let the best men be selected, and there need then be no fear as to the outcome. Thb city Treasurer of Indianapolis is short 8112,000. This was on a high levy too but the great misfortune was that the city Treasures was a Republican reformer. Democrat. As usual, the Democrat puts its foot in it.

Ilhe city treasurer of. Indianapo lis became "short" by the breaking of a bank in which he deposited the funds. All shortage has been arranged for by bis bondsmen, and will be made up within sixty days. course on the part of Republicans Is in striking contrast with a late Democratic treasurer in our neighboring county of Jayi whom the Circuit Court has found to be a defaulter to the tune of 342,000. This Democratic defaulter takes long trips in Pullman cars, lives high, and converts the property of which he defrauded the people of that county other hands in order to screen himselfT In these two instances we see some jdifCerenev between 'Hepublican and Democratic methods.

In another column 'we publish a communication from "Observer" in answer to the resolutions recently passed by the Huntington Temperance Union, hictt we also published. While we may consider some of the charges therein rather strong, it may also be said that some of assertions in the resolutions were also too sweeping in their declarations. That there are violations of the laws, we presume none deny; and that these violations occur daily is too true. If. however, the authors; of these.

resolutions know, of these violations, it is equally as much their duty to assist in the punishment of the offenders as it is the duty of the officers "themselves. By this we mean: If. they jhave positive, knowledge of these transgressions, they are not doing their duty either to them selves or the pnblle by not reporting the facts to the officials and' assisting them In'bringing the guilty to justice, and aiding them until the full punishment" shall have mted to 'the offenders. The of the law is not wholly on the partpf the officials. Unless the latter are upheld and assisted by the best class of peo In every possible way, many transgressions: will; go unpunished which' would, not otherwise be the case, We admit that the temperance nnion has done good work it may still continue to do so, there is still a grand work for it.

We believe that the laws of to day as they are on the statute books are sufficiently strong to suppress almost every evil that exists in the community. Convictions cannot be made without absolute proof. If the complainants in this 'matter furnished proof to the officers and they have failed to do their duty, then should they be retired from their positions. If, howeyer, that proof has been withheld, then the censure would seem to fall as much upon those who passed the resolutions as upon those for whom they were enacted. Let the members of the union and tbe cheers work together.

in this matter; let each do all ia its power the or.3 r.3 much a3 the other for the enactment of the laws, and we do not then believe there will beany necessity for resolutions cf condemnation on cither si There is need for work; th re 13 need In our city for reformation. IV all pood I ioin in it without crimination nnv.r.atton rzw i THE INDIANA IlKiw Oijjed the Our neighbors of the Democrat have done cousiderable squirming in th ut two weeks, especially since we gave away the efforts of one of the numbers of the firm to procure the nomination of county auditor on the Democratic ticket. We did not know that our arrow, would strike eo deeply, although well aware of the deep laid plans of the gang to force the nomination. This in part accounis for the desperate Attempt on the pari of that paper to force Mr. Lee, the present Democratic auditor in uncom fortable quarters.

Not long ago, this official gave out that "any statement, that the actual debt of the county ia over 820.000 is malicious and untrue." and now at this, time the Democrat a paper that would be looked upon to uphold Mr. Lee, Bays the county debt is $30,000." Is it not plain to be gren why the Democrat thus covertly at; tacks Mr Lee? It very. much fears he is in the was of "Ben." and instead of fighting him openly, it thus seeks the coward's plan. In such a state of affairs, of course, the "gang" will feel badly when gigged, and this is Just what is the matter around the Democrat office since The Herald has exposed the scheme, 'y As to' the standing of S. K.

Donavin, the Democrat who recently 'published his open charges of corrupt means in the selection of Mr. Payne to the U. 8. Senate by the Onio Democrats, the Delaware Herald thus speaks: i CoL S. Donavin has created something of a stir, that must command attention, in his second open letter to Senator H.

Payne. lie makes specific charges and names six senators and nine members of the last Legislature, whom he charges were paid for voting for Mr, Paine for senator, giving the amount each received. are grave charges and, for the honor of individuals and the State, must be met in a proper manner. It is true, that rumors "were rife concerning these matters at the timea nd since the senatorial contest two years ago, bnt not until now have the charges been specific. It will not do to say that Mr, Donavin is not worthy of notice, itc.

K. Donavin occupies a prominent position in the councils of the Democratic party of Ohio. Even last fall the State Executive Committee had sought his services, judgment and experience, and gave to him a. conspicuous place in the secret council of the committee, where he rendered services during the campaign. Tint Democrat last week went into ecstacies; over the fact that recently xha gravel road bonds were sold at par, aBd brought in the comments of the Fort Wayne Journal, a Democratic paper published In Allen county.whlch county by Democratic mismanagement is in even worse condition if possible than Is Huntington county.

It is perfectly natural that the Journal would chime in with the Democrat or the latter with the' former, but when, our neighbors attempt to make capital out of the fact that these "bonds were sold at they show the extremities to which they are driven. Are they not aware that there is a plain provision of law which states that in no instance can these bonds be sold at less than their par taluet If they are not, this will be A revelation to them. They probably were not aware of this when Democratic officials allowed the Wabash Salamonie bonds to go at a discount, and afterwards in order make an appearance of legality bring the matter up to par the treasurer made the difference by charging for his services, as an agent 1 This was under a Democratic Board of Commissioners. The Republican Board will permit no such violations of law, and in all probability the. only reason that the old "was not pursued in regard recent sale of bonds, was" because they were at the helm.

And whilet the Democrat so felicitates itself oVthe fact tnat the bonds sold at par, it forgets that' but for Demo cratic mismanagement of the county finances they might have been placed above par. as i3.tha case with the bonds of many of neighboring counties under Republican rule. The mere matter, however, that the law has been complied with i3 such a surprise to the Democrat that it makes a great ado. So accustomed was it to looseness when a Democratic board had control ttiat now when a Republican I board insists on "a compliance with the law, and compels obedience to it. It scarcely knows just what to make of it.

la the coal regions at Mt. Tleasant, Pa, over six thousand men are now out of employment, and nearly every work in the vicinity has been stopped on account of a strike. It seems high tima that Democracy fulfill their promiss of good times and no strikes. hich was made tlitir cry in the late campaign. The Fort Wayne Daily and Weekly Cnz Me ha3 been sold to II.
