They, too. think that they are going to "win overwhelmingly." We have no desire to judge as between prophets. The campaign has not yet begun. The polls are yet to be taken. The situation is exceedingly complicated, and there are suspicions of cross-currents beneath the suriace, the force of which no man can estimate. What we question is the existence at this time of any information sufficiently accurate to warrant one in basing a judgment on it. No doubt Senator Beveridge's prophecy is based on facts that seem to him undisputable. And yet would even he, were he a "chevalier d’industrie,” risk even money on winning "overwhelmingly?” Would he advise a gentleman eager to “place his money," to give odds of two to one on any republican plurality at

all? We warn the senator against confusing commence and overconfidence. The former is an admirable trait. The latter has often brought disaster.— Indianapolis News. The session of congress just closed passed appropriation bills disposing of one billion and fifty-rour million dollars. This is more than double the highest sum spent in any year under Clevelands administration, when there was a democratic congress. So reckless has been the increase in the cost of the national government that many republicans are protesting against the action of their party. Even Senator Aldrich has declared that his party has been spending $300,000,000 a year more than is necessary. And now ex-Governor Herrick of Ohio, who is now president of a big financial institution, has this to say with reference to the waste of public money: “If this reckless pace continues the pressure of taxation soon will become intolerable and municipal credit will be exhausted. If a remedy is not soon applied, not only will new issues of municipal, state and government bonds sell for much less than heretofore, but the bonds already in the hands of the public will depreciate in value.” Is there a republican leader in Indiana who cries out against government extravagance? Did anyone ever hear Senator Beveridge denounce it? Not a bit of it? TO CLOSE OUT. My harness and second hand store. One or both at a bargain. H. S. PORTER. 142t6 Decatur. Ind.
