FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1895.
THK deficit in the national treasury for the first ten days'of March is $3,364,881, and still it grows.
THB New York missionaries for Governor Morton have come and gone and Indiana is more solidly for McKinley than when they first made their adTent. Come again, gentlemen.
ABOUT one-sixth of the delegates to the Republican National Convention have been chosen, and almost half of these have either been instructed for McKinley or are generally believed to favor him. As these delegates represent all sections the proportion for McKinley is likely to continue to the end.
THB House Committee on Banking and Currency has agreed to report a bill favoring the liberalization of the national banking laws by permitting the issue of notes up to the face value of the bonds deposited as a basis of circulation. This amendment has long been urged, and there is every reason why it Bhouid De enacted into law.
WABBIOK H. RIPLEY is a candidate for Reporter of the Supreme Court. Mr. Ripley is a graduate of Wabash Oollege, and has attained distinction as a lawyer. He is the author of the Indiana Digest of the Supreme Court Reports, a standard work among lawyers. The Montgomery county delegation should seriously consider the •laimB of Mr. Ripley.
SKNATOB FORAKER was right when in his speech before the Ohio State Convention endorsing McKinley for the Presidency he said that in every section, in every State, in every county, in every municipality, in every mill, and mine, and furnace, and forge, and workshop, everywhere throughout this broad land where capital is invested and labor is employed, William McKinley is the ideal American statesman, the typical American leader and the veritable American idol. No man in this country in public life ever commanded, as he now commands, the affections of the great masBeB of the voters of this country.
THB Toledo Blade, speaking of the Indiana muddle, says: Gov. Matthews, of Indiana, has denied the request of the Republicans for a special session of the Legislature to enact a new apportionment law, and almost immediately afterward the Republicans filed a suit attacking all existing acts under which an election for the Legislature can be held. Both sides are in the wrong. After the Supreme Court decision, overthrowing the reapportionment laws, the plain duty of the Governor to the people of the State is to convene the Legislature in extra session to pass a reapportionment law. But Matthews refuses to do this on partisan grounds. He icares more for the Democratic machine than for the welfare of the people. And we are sorry to see the Republicans doing anrunwise thing in attempting to create a worse tangle than already exists.
ELSEWHERE will be found the official call by the Chairman of the Republican Central Committee for the convex tion for the nomination of a county ticket. The convention will be held at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium in this city on Saturday, May 2. The basis of representation has been fixed at one delegate for each twenty-five votes cast for Hon. W. D. OweD, and one delegate for each fraction of thirteen or over. This will make the convention consist of 165 delegates. The Republicans of each township will meet in their several precincts on Saturday, April 18, to select the number of delegates to which each will be entitled. The place of meeting in each township is set forth in the call, except in Union township, which will be announced later.
IT is not generally known that there were four conspiracies aganstPresident Lincoln—three to take his life and one to kidnap him. Victor Louis Mason, an attache of the U. S. War Department, has written an article for the April number of The Century on "The Four Lincoln Conspiracies," which gives the first complete and consecutive account of these attempts. A number of people were connected with the flight of Booth after the assassination of Lincoln, but the fear of prosecution haB hitherto kept them silent. Now they are willing to talk freely, and Mr. Mason has taken down from their lips the story of the last days of

Or the Congressional race in this district the Lafayette Courier observes: It is practically settled that the Republican nomination for Congress in the Ninth district will be graciously conferred on Charles B. Landis, of Delphi. The result of the primaries show that he will have the unanimous support of Carroll county, and that with a few exceptions he will secure the. votes of the delegates from Montgomery, Clinton and Fountain. Hamilton county will present the names of two candidates to the convention and Boone one. If the latter fails to develop sufficient strength to warrant continuation in the race, the voterB of that eounty will also go to Landis. In any event, it is apparent, the brilliant and worthy Delphian has an advantage that iB not likely to be overcome in the convention by any combination of forces or circumstances and his election by a large majority will follow as a matter of course, the district being reliably Republican.

putting up with the same people that lie put up with eleven years ago this March, the Temperance House.
Our schools closed on Friday of last week and on Monday Prof. A. S. Fraley opened up a normal assisted by W. H. Keeney, to hold two weeks. Anyone in the township that can go into the eight grade will be admitted. The professor and assistant donate their services.
The union meetings held here by Fannie Edwards have caused the Sun day schools at both churches to have the houseB almost filled, and if she comeB back here again and holds another meeting the houses will be filled at the Sunday schools. Anyone see a great change in the people.
The new man' in the Linden Exchange building certainly wants trouble or he would not take possession of the premises the Emperley and John Loftus occupied and applied for license and failed, and if this man can sell intoxicants without violating the law he is a good one, and how can he run a pool table without the sanction of law.
John Loftus found out there was an element in the township that was opposed to him getting licente to retail liquors here and that they had the majority of legal voters, and he thought some other point would suit him better, so last Monday night he and his family left the town, having packed their goods. But Wallace KinnamOn, of Clark's Hill, takes his place and it is said he intends to sell whisky. The good people of the township have gotten it into their heads that they want no saloons or quart shops here, and will catch any one that sells contrary to law. Our advice would be for them to stop selling the vile stuff, then they need have no fears.

The Methodist and Presbyterian churches will hold no protracted meetings this winter as they usually do. This is a good idea, perhaps, for after all there is really nothing in their line to be done in this neighborhood.
Quite a large crowd attended the Epworth League meeting Sunday night. The League is readily increasing both in number and interest owing chiefly to the unlAung efforts of its officers, who are.the life of the organization, and it is right that they should be, for without good leaders no society can do much.

Wish to correct a mistake which was made in an item in last week's letter, which stated that C. S. Cowan sold some hogs which averaged 280 pounds and were two years old, as they were only nine months old.
The school closed at this place last Saturday. About 11 o'clock the patrons began to arrive at the school house with well filled baskets and completely surprised the teacher, Andy Foley,and the tables were Bpread with the good things and all ate to their hearts content, and after the tables were cleared away the afternoon was spent in an entertainment consisting of declamations, dialogues, songs and music on the organ and violin. Afterwards there were Bome remarks made by the patrons and a very instructive as well as interesting speucu by Mike Foley. Those who received prizes for not being absent during the term were: Pearl Cowan, Sadie Miller, Bessie Cowan, Lizzie Miller and Grace Cowan and those who received prizeB for getting the most headmarks in their respective classes were Pearl Cowan, Ivy King and Blanche King. This was Mr. Foley's first term and his work was very satisfactory.
