John W. Kern because Mr. Kern is a temperance man and speaks his mind about the brewers. Great on temperance —are the prohibition republican press of the state. It might be well to inquire where the Hon. Jeremiah Beveride stands on this important temperance question. Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Booze are not the worst pals on earth, and it might be well to hear from Mr. Beveridge as to whether he is for temperance for the sake of temperance, or simply for the politics there is in it. It would also be a revelation for the prohibition republican press, who by the way, represent a partisan majority in Indiana, to state their own position upon questions of public import. It would not hurt if they would state implicitly their own position as to whether they stand for the repeal of the county local option law or not. It would not hurt if they should state whether they stand with the president, with Cannon, with Aldrich, with their own James E. Watson and Mr. Hemenway, or whether they stand with Senator Beveridge and his brand of insurgency. In other words it would not hurt if the prohibition republican press would play a square game, and be for something because they believed in it, and not for any old thing because they wanted to win a victory over a poor but honest minority in the state. Strange things happen. When Hon. John W. Kern was defeated for U. S. senator two years ago the republican press of the state and Mr. Kern himself said the brewery interests defeated him. Now this same republican press says the brewery interests are behind Kern for the U. S. senate. —Portland Sun.

The republican papers of the state had hoped—and possibly the editors of some of them had prayed—that the democrats would do something or say something in their state convention that would make trouble for themselves and Incidentally brighten the republican sky. As nothing of the sort happened, but quite the contrary, the tone of the republican press, as it contemplates the thickening gloom, is exceedingly depressed. Os course they can still abuse Tom Taggart and hammer away at John Kern and criticise Governor Marshall and so on and so forth ad nauseum, but they will make no headway adong that line. Indiana democrats have settled all of their own affairs to their entire satisfaction and are now in position to give their undivided attention to the other fellows. Ad that is just what they propose to do. ELEANOR HOYT BRAINERD. Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd, of “Belin da" and "Nancy” repute, is an lowan by birth. Like a true daughter of the west, her life has been one of ?n---ergy an dversatality. She began earning money when very young *n the usual way, by teaching. Hers was not a usual kind of teaching, however, for when a girl of eighteen, she found herself installed as teacher in a boys’ military school. A year later she came east and taught in a fashionnb'e girls’ boarding school on Fifth avenue —a considerable transition. An even greater transition followed when she became reporter for the New York Sun. For a number of years she did general reporting for this paper, handling everything that came her way from the police court to the fashionable wedding. Then she became an author. Mrs. Brainerd has recently purchased a farm on the Connecticut river, her ancestral home. Her latest book, "The Personal Conduct of Belinda," has just been brought out by Doubleday, Page & Company. o BUY A FARM AT WAYLAND.
