The dead man opened his eyes. "But always toward the goal" he -said.—Schwartz.

I have been much troubled iu the past few days overjsomething which perhaps is none of my.business. The troublesome question is, what will become of "Towser" 1 Davis, "Brick" Smith and 'Clara" Nolan politically? The Journal, the authorized mouthpiece of the Republican party, has kicked Davis into the yawning chasm of oblivion where he can only associate with Brutus and Cassius and Benedict Arnold and Jii' las Iscuriot, Tom Stilwell and a feu other bad spirits,and now comes anther alleged editor along and plants his tiny trilby under the coat-tails of Nolan and Smith, and with a mighty lurch they have gone from the democratic party over the Tarpjean rock of excommunication. Such things are sad, really sad. To see a great burly bully of a newspaper take some-one it does not like by the seat of the trousers and nape of the neck and shake him over the hot flames and then drop him from sight forever in the burning marl of political Hades, and then crow like a bantam on a dung-hill over what he has done! The great trouble about all this, is the "cat" very often "comes back," and when it does, the claws are dangerous for they have had a chance to grow during its exile. It is only the youngest and brashest of men who are crazy enough to think that they can^read men out of a political party. It is only the essence of damphooli-smto -attempt such a thing.

Mr. Walkup has believed hat democratic votes "saved Ihis bacon" two years ago, andJ£Mr. Walkup is correct. Had it not beenjfor democratic votes he would have been holding down the principalship of some country school at the munificent salary of $300 per annum, instead of holding a $1,200 office. Feeling thus he was very kind to democratic teachers. Now democratic votes have planted him where he will continue to draw his $1,200 per annum j^for four years. At the'encTof that time his end has come. There are several messes of Republican fish for him to fry in the next few months, and he must fry them no matter howjhot the stove gets. Rankin Walkupjis a'candidate for clerk on the Republican side of the political fence. Now, will Mr. Walkup begin to hedge on Democratic teachers in orderjthat the metaphorical hide of Rankinjmay net adorn the metaphorical fence around the metaphorical Republican tanyard

I feel sorry for the faculty of Wabash College. On next Monday evening they are to be roasted to a turn by the Seniors. It is understood that for once in the history of class day at Wabash the Crawfordsville girl, the Crawfordsville old maid and her historic cat will not be made a laughing stock. The venerable professors will receive the attention of the class. They will receive it hot there is pepper, ginger, spice and all sorts of warm ingredients in the program. •s c,

I would just like to know for the satisfaction of my own curiosity what a real genuine Democrat looks like. Men who have voted the ticket and worked for the party for years, and

whom I have always looked upon.as true blue, are spoken cf as being under suspicion as to their orthodoxy. If one of them has had apiece of gold, and in his pride showed it, within three years, heis"suspicioned" at once of being the tool of the ''gold bugs and uuworthy of trust or confidence. Once in awhile some poor unfortunate is taken by the collar and yanked into the political boneyard, and the (vood "traitor" placed over his grave. I don't understand it. I do not know the members of the grand heresy court, on whose shoulders rests the burden of kicking Democrats out of the party promiscuously. I would like to join this band of political purifiers, Ku Klux, White Cappers

Vigilants or whatever they may be called, simply because I have a desire unholy though it may be, to be safe and not meet with an untimely fate, at the hands of these party purgers I would like to know where the authority came from which gave them the power to kick a poor fellow over the party fence without benefit of clergy, or allowing him time to kiss his wife. If I pannot stand in and they cannot show me when the time of my execution comes, their creden tialst I shall just simply refuse to be kicked out, that's all. I expect to vote the Democratic ticket all my life but this element of uncertainty as to where to look for salvation is killing, Let us know who is running the In quisition before the party is too decimated to makta corporal's guard I am thoroughly ashamed of such child's play. The Democratic party cannot succeed so long as such busi ness is kept up. The fellows who are being kicked are more often better Democrats that those who are doing the kicking. It is time for this child ish, baby business to stop. Select leader who can be implicitly trusted and yet down to business stop all petty personal scheming, for a dol lar or an advantage, and all work in harmony. Such actions as the past has produced can only bring defeat disaster and disorganization. Men grow tired of being slapped around and kicked about by self-constituted regulators, and will not always stand it.

"It is to be hoped" said a promt nent Republican Monday evening "that the next legislature will repeal this a bo nimble law which allows the election by the trustees of a county superintendent of schools, and provide for the election of that official by a popular vote. Then both parties will put up good men, for whom they will be responsible to the people and do away with all this jugglery which never fails to end in the poorest and crookedest stick in the county being elected. It is notorious that some of the men at the head of the schools in this state, cannot get a 12 month's license on an examination, but who by trading like V' ts with adjoining

Two Democratic victories iu one day is staggering. The Republican party will soon go into bankruptcy at that rate. They allowed the Democrats to elect a county superintendent of schools last Monday and a member of the Crawfoidsville school boardjin the evening. Hurrrah for the Democratic party.

If you

cannot take, you had better not give.

I am' moved to wonder at the strange silence of my young^and usually loquacious friend JCharles Landis, anent the recent order of President McKinley removing four thousand appointuients]from thejjcivil service list. According to the past we might judge that this is] a thing highly desirable fromj.his|point of view, and while adding to the_cares_of a congressman would,be fame us as a vote winner. It is high time that the Hon. Charles should put himself on record.

I am deeply grieved, not to say pained at the manner in which the name of Wabash College and her Chicago alumni has been bandied about by a rude and unsympathetic press all because of a Frenchified Menu. The abominable fashion of printing menus in French permitted wine to steal into a place on the menu under the guise of some harmless dish that might "cheer but not inebriate," named "amontillado."^.That wine is a mocker" and not to be trifled with under any circumstauces is one of cardinal principles of the institution. It seems that a Frenchman is not to be trusted, and a chair of French cookery should be established at once, in order that young theologians and grave and learned professors may be relieved from such embarrassment in the future.

A Church Wedding.

There was a pretty wedding at the Christian church in this city,Tuesdaj evening at S 30 o'clock. The contracting parties were Ward McClelland. son of Capt W. B. MeClelland, and niss

Mary

Long, of the same

neighborhood. The parties have been lovers since they were children and the marriage is a most happy one. The ceremony was pronounced by Rev. Fred Rosebro, of Danville, 111., a brother-in-law of the bride. The church was elegantly decorated with palms and potted plants. Jiiss May

Watson presided at the piano playing the wedding march-"* and played softly througti the ceremony. There was a small audience of invited relatives and friends of the parties present. The father and ^mother of the groon were married on the same spot in the old Christian church^26 years ago. The young people are well known and highly respected, and start out in life with the brightest prospects. The

Indlaua Lift. I.-suratire Compuit«*« ihe Foreign Insurance Tru-:*.

The life Insurance men who represent and are interested in Indiana companies recently perfected an organization, which means a fight against the outside companies and the methods they have pursued in attacking the Indiana companies. The organization is in line with the recommendations made by Governor Mouivt in his inaugural address, in which he called attention to the great amount of money which goes out from Indiana each year for life Insurance, and recommending U-R-isiation that would be a means of keeping some of tho money in the State. The officers of the Indiana companies say they have now as good Insurance laws as ara to be found in the United States, and that since the time the laws were enacted the representatives of foreign Insurance companies have waged a war on Indiana companies which has caused retalition to be necessary.

Charles F. Coffin last evening said: "The foreign insurance companies maintain an organ here which should be called sheet only. It is devoted mainly to attacks on Indiana companies and the Indiana law, and singles out certain companies in each issue which it attacks. The foreign companiea have an organization in Indiana called the Indians. Association of Life Underwriters and we have organized to meet these methods. This organization will include any and all reputable and solvent Indiana companies, and we will iind a way to put a stop to the methods that have been followed. We ha\e in oui possession letters from agents of foreign companies which are slanderous ar.i'""libelous, and It will not be hard to find a way to meet such attacks."

The Incorporators organized by electing the following officers: President, Chalmers Hrown vice-president, A. M. Sweeney secretary, Charles E. Dark treasurer, George W. Powell. Executive, legislative and printing committees have been appointed. It was decided to appeal to the home interest of the State. The members say that the attacks on Indiana companies have been sent from one end of the country to the other, and the organization has Issued the following address: ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF INDI­

ANA.

"It has been manifest to every one interested in the growth and welfare of Indiana institutions and her best interests, that there has been an organized and pc-rsistent effort made to destroy and break down Indiana life insurance organization In ifursuiui these attack* no distinction has beeu made between the systems ur plans upon which Indiana life corporations are founded and operated, their sti ngth or the character or their administration. These efforts have emanated fivm the agents of those foreign lite Insurance companies which have, until recent years, enjoyed almost a monopoly of tr.. business in this State. The people of mdiana have paid in tne aggregate to foreign life insurance companies •iuring the past ten years more than uvtnty millions of dollars in excess ui Die amount paid back in death losses. The exact figures for the year ending July 1, IS'JS (according to the published reports of the Auditor of State), are: Premiums paid, $4,209,3.jo.4'j losses paid, $1,£'4..¥w.o7 excess of premiums paid over losses, $2,914,790.to and this for one year cr.lv.
