FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1895.
IT seems an impossible task for the Terre Haute Express to please Judge Taylor of the Circuit Court of Vij/o county. He has jailed a reporter of that paper for alleged contempt. Four years ago this same Judge jailed the editor. Hie editor came out on top then as the reporter probably will
THE toil and trouble, the boil and "bubble, of the municipal primary now being over, and the candidates chosen, let the Republicans now get down to work and elect the nominees. The successful contestants are all good men and true and are worthy of the support of the people regardless of party. Let's make the thing unanimous.
MONTGOMERY, Clinton and Boone, the counties composing this Senatorial district, each has a candidate for Senator, up to date. Montgomery's candidate is Milton B. Waugh, Clinton's is Robert Carriek, and Boone's is Samuel R. Artman. As there ai but two candidates to nominate it is very evident that one of tbe three must be left.
IF tbe McKinley boom continues to develop at the rate it is going now there will be one ballot necessary at the St. Louis convention. In Illinois, where Senator Cullon has an alleged boom, the Republicans are falling over each other in their attempts to jump on the McKinley band wagon. Nearly all the counties of Culloin's home district have instructed for McKinley.
THE great need in thepension system is not changed in the laws as much as the officers who execute them. The pension laws, like the law for the distribution of seeds, have been arbitrarily trampled under foot by the Commissioner of Pensions who is unfriendly to all pension laws. The veterans propose to have a change in oilicers after the 4tli of next March. Mr. Lochren will then march forth.
Fou the second time death has entered the halls of legislationin Kentucky and removed a member. Hon. Rozelle Weissinger, a Senator from Louisville, died yesterday in Frankfort after a brief illness. He was one of the ablest members in that body, and belonged to what is called the sound money wing of the Democratic party. He persistently and steadfastly refused to vote for Blackburn and as late as last Saturday, being unable to be present at the joint session, he consented to break his pair only on condition that the Republican with whom he was paired, should vote for Carlisle. Even death does not solve the Senatorial fight.
THE Lafayette Courier is not pleased with the delegation trom New York now doing missionary work among the benighted Republicans of Indiana ia behalf of the Presidential candidacy of Governor Morton. These missionaries have issued an ill-worded and ill-timed address, and not content with this, one of them, D. S. Alexander, formerly of Indiana but now of Buffalo, had himself interviewed, in which he said that he did not come until he was] thoroughly convinced that the Republicans of this State were making a gieat mistake in supporting McKinley's candidacy. At this point the Courier grows righteously indignant and thus gives vent to its feelings:
Now, in the name of all the gods at once, if that is not monumental assumption and insolence, by what terms shall it be denominated? Nine-tenths of all of the three hundred thousand Republicans of Indiana wrong, and D. S. Alexander alone possessed of the wisdom to speak for them and to advise them how to act! He is fo afraid that their ignorance will lead them astray that he comes jill the way from Buffalo to get them on the right track, and this deep concern on account of their helplessness to decide for themselves is apparently so wearing on his mental furniture that it may well ex cite the dread that he does not sleep well o'nigbts.
Mr. Alexander has probably discovered by this time that as a missionary he is not in the swim.
For Artman.
The Republican convention of Booce county has endorsed 8. B. Artman, of Lebanon, as Joint Senator from Clinton, Montgomery and Boone.

Stars." attired in the finest robes in the State. After two hours of unique entertainment the participants responded repeatedly to encores. The different figures, representative of the symbles and teachings of the order, were perfect.
