FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1896.

THE issuing' of bonds without the specific authority of Congress can easily he prevented by^the passage of a law that will provide sufficient revenue to pay the expenses of the Government.

BEGRIMED, befuddled, stunned and benumbed the sound money Demo crats came out of last Saturday's convention, very similar in appearance as though they had passed through a Texas tornado.

THE Supreme Court of the United States by a unanimous vote has decided that Congress is a bigger body than Comptroller Bowler, and holds that the sugar bounty law is valid. By this decision the Comptroller must pay the planters the amount due them under the law.

THE Democratic storm center in Indiana just now is at Indianapolis. The gold faction and the silver faction are in conference there but they use different rooms. Each is planing for ascendency in the State convention. It is war to the knife and knife to the hilt. The fight is growing in bitterness all over the State.

THE sidewalks on both sides of Green street from the Central school building to the Monon depot, with the exception of that portion between Main street and the first alley south, are a positive disgrace to the city. Pedestrians go stumbling along, and even a tetotal] er presents the spectacle of having imbibed too freely of the vintage that is some times sold on the street.

THE demand for wool continues very slow, and values for most kinds are largely nominal. Manufacturers are not in need of the raw material, and to tempt them to purchase under these conditions means even lower prices. The stock of old wools held in eastern markets by dealers is large, principally of territory grades, and even at the low prices ruling they do not sell.

THOSE Democratic editors who met last year at Maxinkuckee and resolved to camp beneath the olive trees on this Bide the river until the ramshacklin bridges were repaired arc packing up their traps preparatory to a move. Marching orders have been received, and to many of idiem, the Crawfordsville Argus-News among the number, it means a "march through a slaughter house to an open graye."

IN 1840 Daniel 'Webster refused the nomination for Vice-President and John Tyler was chosen. Doubtless Mr. Webster afterwards regretted it, as he would have been President. In 1804 Benjamin F. Butler was offered the nomination with President Lincoln. He also declined and Andrew Johnson was selected. It is a nomination that a man who is big enough to be President can afford to decline.

THE free silver wing of the Indiana Democracy Tuesday elected a new State committee. The present committee, a majority of which are sound money men, is to be side-tracked. With two State committees there will probably be two State conventions and two sets of delegates to Chicago, which in turn will nominate two candidates for President. The silver bugs seem to have the upper hand.

A BEAUTIFUL but good humored fight is now on in the Tenth district for the Congressional race between Judge Crumpacker and Frank Hanley, the present Congressman. The friendB of Crumpacker claim that he will be nominated by 134% to 110%, while the friends of Hanley are equally confident that the vote will stand 127 to 112 the other way. The convention will be held at Michigan City on Thursday, June 4.

ONE-THIRD of the delegates to tlie Democratic National Convention have been chosen and the race is so close between free coinage and sound money that no one can predict the result. At present the silver men and the gold men are tied, each having 107 votes, and nothing definite can be prophesied. The general opinion is that the silver men have the best chance of winning. Whatever may be the result all indications point to a bolt.

CORPORAL TANNER and President Eliot of Harvard University, the former in person and speech and the latter by the report of some recent remarks of his, were both considerably apparent at the Grand Army of the Republic encampment in Utica, N. on Tuesday. Corporal Tanner's Grand Army pride had been wounded by President Eliot's sneering utterances at the expense of that organization, and he foamed over with indignant denunciations of Harvard's president's sentiments. The following is a portion of his speech: "Scorned be his name. Scorned be the man who goes out of his way to arraign the Grand Army—and he from the land of Butler and of Sharpe and of others who offered their lives as a sacrifice on the altar ©f country. I say to you now that if I had a longdistance telephone, with President Charles Eliot at the other end of it, I would give him a little advice, provided the wires did not burn out. (Applause and cheers.) I would remind President Eliot that among the buildings of the great university over which he presides there is one building that is a holy of holies. Within that building I have stood and gazed with reverential awe upon the portraits of those eroic students who went out from Harvard's walls and found death upon the battle-field in the uniform which we now wear. On bended knee he should crawl within that building in penitence, and, without rising, crawl out »nd seek the nearest pig pen and there apologize to the swine! Thank God that so long as worms, serpents, and noxious insects are permitted, in God's providence, to crawl about and defile the earth and disgust humanity, we have so few representatives as President Charles Eliot of Harvard."

WILLIAM E. CURTIS, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record, says this will happen at the St. Louis convention:

McKinley, Reed and Allison will be placed in nomination perhaps Morton also. A ballot either formal or informal will be ordered, and the roll call will begin, but it will Jiot be finished. When the clerk reaches the

O's" and "P's" and the convention finds that McKinley already has a majority, Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, or Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, will jump upon his chair and move his nomination by acclamation. Then somebody else, perhaps Gov. Foraker, who has a voice like a fire alarm, or perhaps Mr. Hanna himself, will jump upon his chair and move that Mr. Reed also be placed upon the ticket by acclamation. The convention will respond with a shout and the whole thing will be over in ten minutes.

PRESIDENT ELIOT, of Harvard, in a speech recently delivered before the conference to promote the cause of international arbitration, went out of hiB way to insult the veterans of the war, stating among other falsehoods that the chief purpose of the Grand Army of the Republic seemed to be to procure all the money it can from tl government. This mugwump Democrat is beginning to hear from the order throughout the country. The old boys resent with righteouB indignation the outrageous, false, unpatriotic, and un-American statement of this college President, as they feel that not the soldiers alone who have been insulted, but every man and woman in the country who have any sense of gratitude.

THE picture of Grover Cleveland has been turned to the wall by the Democrats of Montgomery county. Even the erudite and accomplished Maurice Thompson with all of his eloquence and logic had less influence in Saturday's convention than the backwoods poet from the wilds of Democratic Ripley, Jim Elmore, and could not save the "Napoleon of Democracy" from cruel and wicked humiliation at the hands of Democrats in a Democratic conv^ inn

CONCERNING the action of last Saturday's convention in refusing to endorse President Cleveland and in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1, the^dryitsNews sings low. It begins to show evidences that it will favor a "straddle" notwithstanding its protests against such a course during the la6t few weeks. The fact is the Anjus News protested too much on the "straddle" business.

THE deficit in the national treasury for the first twenty-three days of May is S4,S41,302, for the fiscal year $28,296, 493, and for the Cleveland administration 8141,104,976. Neither Mike Foley in his bombastic speech last Saturday nor the resolutions which followed made the slightest allusion to this little matter. They were more interested in the mine owners of Colorado than they were in the farmers and laborers of Montgomery county.

Knights Victorious.

The Wingate Knights of Pythias have succeeded in their case against Henri Watterson for failure to keep his engagement. It will be remem bered that they levied on his box receipts at Attica and got 8134.00. Judge Rabb has just sustained the action of Mayor Milford in allowing this proceeding and Henri has thrown up the sponga.

HKliRON SCHOOL.

Corn is about all planted. The children of Mt. Tabor are practising for children's day.

There is quite a dispute as to where the children will go to school this year. After signing the petition for Highland there will no doubt be no school house, as two gentlemen of that neighborhood say that children are a bother and don't want the school house near their residences.

Again has God in His infinite poweri and wisdom seen fit to call from our midst another precious soul. Mr. William Zachary was born in Indiana, March 8, 1835, and departed this life May 23, 1896, aged 01 years, 2 months and 15 days. The funeral services were conducted at Mt. Tabor church by Rev. Stephens and the remains were laid to rest in the Mt. Tabor cemetery. He had been afflicted with cancer of the stomach for several months his sufferings were terrible but were borne with patience, and though life was sweet to him in the association of kindred and friends he was willing to die, saying at all times, "God's will be done." He leaves several children, a wife, many brothers, a sister and many friends to mourn.

DOMESTIC 3IAETYRS.

Lots of women suffer constantly, and seldom utter complaint. Good men rarely know the pain endured by the women of their own household, or the efforts they make to appear cheerful and happy when they ought to be in bed, their suffering is really so great.

Our habits of life and dress tell sadly upon women's delicate organizations.

Tliey

just where thedagger lies, for tlieir whole future may depend upon that knowledge, and how to overcome it.

There is no need of our describing the experiences of such women here, they are too well known by those who have suffered, but we will impress upon every one that these are the never-failing symptoms of' serious womb trouble, and unless relieved at once, a life will be forfeited.
