The finance bill prepared and agreed upon by a committee of bankers, chosen for this purpose, is said wbe a far more satis f act ary measure ' than either tne Aldrich or Foraker j bill. For several years Uie American ' Backers' association has been con- - sidering and debating what sort of a banking law ought to be dvised and I recommended to congress for enact- j merit. DUforences of opinion were so j great that agreement was at times I despaired of. Finally the leading I spirits appear to have gotten nearer together, and after a several Jays' session in Chicago the commission in trusted with this difficult task was able to agree upon a bill that is be-

lieved to meet the cotmry’a requirement. Whether the two houses of congress will accept this handiVork In part or in whole we shall know in the course of a few months.—South Bend Times. In a talk to the Republican editors at Indianapolis last week, James P. Goodrich. who had just been re-elected state chairman, said that he did not "look forward to the next campaign with quite the same confidence’' he had felt in the past. He declared that he expected “a hard fight," and the Republican organization “instead of using its best efforts to the control of the convention and the naming of can—.....U L.,. .... nlkz.avt all It

didatetj” would have about all It could do to manage the campaign. i a J'W The reception to State Chairman Jackson last evening wan a worthy tribute to a worthy man. He pledged anew his al n fl - to the Democratic party and eve. .- D locrat In the party <u>d that he v <•. ilnnan tor all the party and no> for any particular part thereof. The ' ' ent of this pledge means a peaceful and happy Democratic household in Indiana. ■ i» ■■ rrrgm— ■ Judge Artman, who is himself a Republican. declares that the Columbia club at Indianapolis—a swell Republican organization—is "the most notorious blind tiger in Indiana.” Yet you read but little in the Indianapolis press about this disreputable violator of law, and rp'xb about the notorious gambling at French Lick. The reason is obvious. Decatur is a live one. If any further evidence is needed to verify this statement, we have but to say that the boosters of the Commercial club and those outside the club are putting their heads together and are figuring out ways and mean* for the location of another factory.
