Protection or free trade seems to be the great issue of the day. The Republicans take the side of protection while the Democrats take the opposite. I claim the more factories we have the cheaper we get the article that is made, for competition is the life of trade. Then, the more factories we have the more men we feed and the more the farmer gets for his produce he has to sell. Now iu regard to wheat. There is a duty of twenty-five cents per bushel on it. If wheat is put on the free list the farmer will get just twenty-five cents less for his wheat while the foreigner will get twenty-five cents more for his wheat that he brings to our market, and what is true in regard to wheat is true in everything else. If you say anything to a Democrat about hard times he will say that we are living under Republican laws. Just as though we did not know it, but it is threat of free trade that has closed tin factories and thrown thousands of men out of employment. If the threat will do so much what will the reality do? I noticc in THE JOI HNAI.last week that M. E. Ingalls, President of the Pig Four railroad and a prominent Democrat. says unless they can bring about a change in rtlie administration and stop this Wilson bill in Congress tliev will go down as a party to defeat at the next election and it will be years before the people will trust them again. If the Democrats can't run the (icivernment better than they have started out they ought to go down to the bottomless pit and be chained there bv the Republican party a thousand years

The Indiana Congressional Field Ke\le\ved .—A («reat I'olilleal Change The ... Ftghth District Sure to go

Republican.

The Indianapolis correspondent of the Chicago hiter-Ocam gives a review of the political situation in Indiana and reaches the conclusion that the Republicans will ctYect a complete change in the complexion of the Indiana delegation in Congress, lie says that they are confident of carrying nine of the thirteen districts and have an excellent chance in two more. tine Lighth district the correspondent says:

The Kighth district'is as sure to go Kepubliean as the Sixth is this year. In Klijah Vuorhees Hrookshire squeezed in by OS votes. Then came the "landslides" of W.X) and IJWJ. and he thus succeeded in hanging on. In lS'Jii Cleveland carried the district by L.'LS-L all of which came by virtue of the Democracy of Sullivan county. This year they will do well if they carry Sullivan by Looo. Vigo, which went 100 democratic in ls'.r», will go ."00 Republican this year, despite Yoorhees. Lamb. Crawford Fairbanks, and the whole distillery combine. The miners of Clay county have learned that they were duped in piling up a plurality of -l.Vl for Cleveland, and will probably go just as heavily for the Republican ticket this year.

Montgomery county, where the Democrats had a plurality of but four votes, will go from 5oo to ."00 Republican, and. all in all. the Republicans feel that they have a sure thing if the right kind of a man is nominated and a vigorous campaign is made. Congressional candidates are talked of in every county, and although none have declared themselves, there is already quite a list. A. !». Anderson, the brilliant prosecuting attorney of Montgomery county, has been much spoken of. but declares that he could not maki. the race without the sacrifice of hi.* law practice. President Ramsey, of the Citizens' Rank of Crawfordsville. has been mentioned, as has also Senator .lames A. Mount, the scholarly farmer of Shannondale. Jacob 0. Karly, of Terre Haute, is frequently heard of. and it is probable that W. S Carpenter, of IJraV.il. who made a good canvass in 1 will be before the con vention. Much is heard of the possibility of inducing Cencral Thomas H. Nelson, of Terre Haute, to make the race.

'Hie stockholders of the Land and Improvement Company held their annual meeting at the small court room last evening. In the absence of the President. C. M. Crawford. .1. J.

Crawford. Louis Rischof. .1. .L Insley. .L M. Schultz, 11. R. Tinsley. T. IL li. McCain and R. R. Russell. The stock-holders then adjourned and the new board organized by tlie election of the following otlicers:

t. Karl's Statement,

An injustice was done Mrs. Karl, th* wife of John Karl, in yesterdav*:•loriiNAi.. Mrs. Karl states that she is a hard working woman and has five children to support mostly by her own labor. The insinuation of her husband that lu' thought he saw a man at his house was purely imaginative on his part and was without a particle of foundation. Mrs. Karl bears all the evidence of being much of a lady and it is humiliating to her that, she is compelled to invoke the aid of the law to protect herself and children i'rom the attacks of a drunken husband. Such women need the sympathy of all good people.

A Jurv of Their Peers Avenges Their Cruel Fate at the ltnmls ol' ra. Maiuly lUiteher.

The suit of Wes Hughes against Mr Mandy Butchor has been settled by a jury good and rrue in 'Squire Cumberland's gilded temple of justue The suit was for the pricc of half a dozen turkeys and the jury was selected with a view to. securing the peers of the toothsome fowls in question. It appears that Wes and Mandy live in the same bucolic neighborhood and that along about blackberry time when young turkeys are about the. size and shape of skinned rabbits that half a dozen of the ungainly young birds put in an appearance at the home of Mandy and being struck by the looks of the garden truck concluded to stay a spell. They roosted in the plum tree in pleasant weather ami in the carriage house when it rained. Tliey formed a sort of a combination and licked the stutling out of Mandy's maltese cat and drove the dominiek rooster under the corn crib where a weasel caught it.

They drove the ducks oil' to the creek and made life miserable for Mandy's little lamb. They scratched up the flower beds and boldly strutted into the parlor one day when the door was open and everybody gone and ate all the red tassels off the sofa and big chair to say nothing of attempting-to pick the eyes out of the picture of grandpa Hutcher. Those measley turkeys would walk around over the gatden and pick holes in the tomatoes and melons, scratch up the vegetables and strike up a friendly acquaintance with the potato bugs. Mrs. Butcher sent word in all directions for the owner to come and get those turkeys and finally as a sort of a cuiiii il'dnl she had the young woman who corresponded for the fXi'W Kiehmond Knlfr/irixf to write a heavy editorial on the subject. Kven this failed to bring the owner, so Mrs. Hutcher chloroformed the birds one night while they wore sleeping i.tl the effects of a jar of new alderberry wine they had found cooling in the spring house. She had them incarcerated in a strong coop and kept them theie in spite of their angrv protestations. She fed them well and before Thanksgiving they were as fat as the jolly old '_Squire who tried the ease. She declared her determination of killing them soon and this scared the turkeys half to death. Pretty soon after Wes Hughes drove along and one of the turkeys yelled to him that they were his. having left his place way back last summer. This tickled the righteous Wes half to death so he braced in and claimed then:. Mandv merely gave him the laugh, however, and going out she chopped the heads from the bodies of thebirdsand trotted them off to market, where she sold them for eleven cents a pound with the gizzards, necks ami feet snuglv tucked away oil the inside.

Wes gallantly sued for the worth of the turkeys and the jury feeling in a brotherly frame of mind awarded him damages in the sum of S3.no.

The civil .serv­

Senator Call's (dem., Fla.) resolution directing the civil service committee to inquire into the condition of the civil service of the. United States and the expediency of its retrenchment or increase came up for consideration, and .Senator Berry (dem., Ark.) presented an amendment- directing the committee also to report "the number of persons employed in the classified service from each state and territory, and, so far as they can ascertain, the number belonging to each political party, and whether the public service would be benefited by the repeal of the civil service law."

Senator Cockrell (dem.. Mo.) sug. gest.ed that the amendment be changed to a mere request that the date of appointment be reported. Senator Cockre) I's substitute was accepted and on a roll call It was adopted by a vote of 3 yeas to 12 nays. The original resolusion as amended was then adopted

'THE LARGEST DIAMOND.

It-Was roun.1 in South Africa I tie 30th or Last June. An interesting model of the supposed "largest diamond in the world" has been sent to the editor of the Hinningham Post. In a letter sent with the model dated Jagersfontein, July 2, the correspondent says: ou may have noticed by cable that tho largest diamond the world has ever seen has been found here, lhir place is all excitement about it md it may make a stir in the financial world. 1 am sending by this post a perfect plaster of paris model of the diamond, which was found June 30, 1893. This model was taken by me personally this morning, and is the onlyone which has been taken except one which I have sent this afternoon to the president of the Orange Free State by special request. The diamond was found iu the New Jagersfontein company mine. It is the most perfect large stone ever seen its weight is Oil karats its color is bine-white and almost perfect. It has one black spot in it, which, however, the owners stated to me will be cut out. Its value, of course, cannot now be stated, but 1 think if £50,000 were offered for it now, or even double that amount, it would not be accepted some even declare that it will be worth £500,000. It
