Democratic State Convention. The Democratic State Convention meets at Indianapolis on Wednesday, the 2nd day of August Mrs. Abraham Lincoln died at Springfield, 111., Sunday night. The big crop of wheat now being harvested in the I nited States has knocked the bottom out of prices. The appropriations for rivers and harbors is a feast for political cormorants and vultures. More than onehalf becomes legalized plunder. Secor Robeson makes a poor defense of his administration as Secretary of the Navy. He poses in the role of a peisecuted martyr but fails to show that ho miokt nntjalw norae.-nted Republicans are having a good lime in trying to prove their high tariff views are not in favor of monopolies, and in many cases an outrage upon the interest of the people at large. The prominent Democrat who wrote the Morey letter is materializing under investigation to be a good Republican. The materialization is so near complete, that the Republicans will never finish the job. Their apxiety i n this direction has been severely modified. The corrupting influence of bossism upon the civil service of the country is alarming the honest masses of the Republican paity. They are rapidly eoming to the conclusion that the boasted good deeds of the party are more than blotted out by the misdeeds. They want a change, a change that is necessary and can never be accomplished under the present organization.

The Amendments. Without at this time entering into the discussion of the principles under lying the proposed constitutional amendments, there is a question to the Democratic party of the State, growiig out of their proposed submission that may become vital to the success of the party and that is, policy. Viewing the question from this stand-point alone, it seems to us that it would be unwise and impolitic to oppose their submission, if we expect a controlling influence in the next Legislature. If the Democratic State Convention, which meets at Indianapolis on the second day of August, should declare their hostility to the proposed amendments and to their submission to the people and require that the senators and representatives which they have have and shall nominate, shall place themselves in the same attitude, the result, in our opinion, will be disastrous to the party and its domination in the next General Assembly. In our strong holds we have nothing to fear. In some of our larger centers of population we may make some gams. In close districts and in those, where under ordinary circumstances, we have safe majorities, wc will be beaten. The people are both jealous and hostile io any semblance of interierence with their rights. The voice of the people cannot be suppressed. The question of prohibition is not a party question and cannot be made one. It has its zealous suppoiters and opposers in both political parties, and upon this question party dictation will not down. Candidates will be interviewed and made to stand squarely for or against the submission of the amendments. If the democratic party does not furnish candidates who will favor the submission of the amendments, there are thousands of democratic voters who will ignore party and upon this question, vote against their party. Whatever may be the result in the final struggle, the question of submitting the amendments is a popular one and firmly demanded by the people. The Democrat will stand with the pt?ty upon this' question, whatever they do, but will not allow the party to place itself in an altitude hostile to the submission of the proposed amendments without entering an earnest proest against it, and without warning them thut to do otherwise would, in our opiaion, be the sure road io disaster.

The Lgypuan Question. The bombardment and partial destruction of Alexandria by the English | fleet, makes the Egyptian question one of absorbing interest at the present time. Egypt for* long time has been ruled by an officer appointed by the Sultan of Turkey. The result has been all officers in the civil and military service w- re Turks. The Keedive anxious for a national blessing, a public debt, succeeded in disposing of a large amount of bonds to English and continental capitalists. Some time since failing to pay the interest, the civil administration of the country was conceeded to the bondholders. Latterly Egypt lias been paying to foreign civil officers a sum of 12,000,000, annually. This, together with the English and French interest in the Suz canal, has placed the country really under the direction of these interests. Meanwhile a native Egyptian, Arabi Pasha, gradually by his commanding talent, worked his way to the command of a regiment, and succeeded in promoting two other Egyptians to similar commands. These men have secured control of the army and have been unceaseing in their efforts to advance native Egyptians to places of trust in and out of the army, lliis has developed a feeling of jealousy among the Turkish officers with whom the Keedive sympathized. Gradually the breach has been widening. The Keedive was willing to do what continental pressure required, but was unable to control the army. The result has been England interfered by bombarding Alexandria. Arabi Pasha may be right, but the the stronget argument is against him and he will finally go to the wall.

The Joint Senator. The Hartford City Telegram and ruiviau'i uua ttatc puiHlSllcU 3 Cilrtl from J. B. Shorratt, who was a candidate before the democratic convention of the district composed of Adams, Blackford and Jay counties, in which the Dr. makes statements, some of which are true and some of which are untrue, in regard to the proceedings of the convention, which did not nominate him. The charge that the‘'chair man was either ignorant of all parlimentarv rules, or wilfully dishonest," is untrue. If any advantage was taken by and through persons not delegates, it was because the chairman did not know who were and who were not delegates. And had the friends of Dr. Sherratt, at the time their interests were being effected, appealed from the chair, moved a reconsideration, or exhibited that, political sagacity, they exercised in concentrating the delegation of Jay county upon the Dr. in pressing his claims in the convention, in the manner indicated, the grievances, of which the Dr. complains, would not have occurred. Whether or not it would have resulted in the nomination of Dr. Sherratt, is hardly a debatable question. Aside from this, the other questions which he raises and which we take issue with him are not of sufficient importance to indicate. In this card, among other things, he wishes to have the convention over, and submit his claims to the people of Jay county alone. If a majority of the Democrats favor him, then he is to be the candidate, without regard to the wishes of the Democrats of Adams and Blackford counties. If this is not granted him, he proposes to be a candidate without any further notice and consideratien of the question. The Dr. goes out of his way to say ' that John M. Smith was a bolter in 1878. This seems to be his main reason why he and not Smith, should i be the candidate, forgetting that the . demand he m-akes'eannot be admitted! by the Democrats of this district, and , the fulfillment of his threat, which is the alternative, makes Captain Sherratt the bolter he claims Smith to have been. Whatever the wrongs or rights, the merits or demeritsof Captain Sherratt, growing out of this controversy are, he has taken the wrong course to be righted. Had he came into the convention and gracefully acquiesced in its decision, protesting that he was wronged, there would have been a sympathy for him that would have been a valuable factor to him in future contests, that would have raised up to him hosts of friends, and given him a commanding position, such as could not have been overcome. He has taken the other course, which if followed and persisted in, will only result in political suicide. Dollars and sense are business partners; and one cannot get along very prosperously -without the other. The soldier of fortune, the free lance the Hessian open for a contract to shoot in any direction, is a poor creature, but the citizen soldier we have had, and now have, who will live on acorns and sorghum can«, and very cheerfully die at the uioudi of shotted guns for an idea, is not a poor creature. In the Nation that is “the heir of all the ages and the youngest born of time,” he is the best we have to show. The men of the Revolution, even Washington asleep by the Potomac, hear a triad that sounds like their own.—Myron W. Reed.

The Arabs in and around Alexandria seem to be in the folding tent business just now. They are gently slipping away too, but that may not always last. Geneva Items. ‘VEHITAS.’ Mr. Editor I write that tue world may be informed that here in , Adams county, Indiana, where ten years ago the Opossum roamed unmolested, and the notes of the 'A hippoorwill alone broke the stillness of the night, is now the town of Geneva, containing five hundred inhabitants, three dry goods store, five stores to which men report when the) are dry, four groceries, one hardware store, two hotels, .three sawmills, one hubb factory, three lawyers, four doctors and only two undertakers, and “For burley chields and diver hizzies, Geneva is excelled by none. Many things amusing and otherwise occur here. It is sometimes amusing to hear some men cussing and discussing the political situation. Some days ago a redoubtable doctor, pregnant with the theory that fiat rags possess as I much intrinsic- value as gold, made a fearful attack on Alex. Robinson, not with scalpel and saw, but with his tongue.» Knowing Allex. to be a dem oerat he determined to convince him that he should quit his ungodly ways, and such fearful arguments. You would have supposed from the noise that his ears were a foot long. At length exasperated at Alex's obstinacy, he cried with a loud voice, Come into me ’ but Alex, not being a cannibal, anl not desiring him for culinary purposes, let him pass unmolested. Our town has been noted for its journalists and literary productions. Mr. Thompson achieved’ a ■ Triumph" here and printed it by steam, until he raised too much steam iuthe wrong place, when there was an explosion. Now we have the Geneva A’etw, which sheds a flood of murky light and tells what the editor knows and what “they say, und sich Alas! for him. One gets mad and on the war path. Tom Hook thiuks his girl was sneered at and must have satisfaction. By the way our editors sneers are terrible. They are the most potent does not soon learn that‘ Presence is the better part of valor,” Mark Twaius experience while editor of the “John son county Democrat, was as nothing compared to what he will pass through. By the way, you should come down and witness our improvements. Our main street is converted into a deep ditch, and we have only to erect a dam at each end, get our gondola and we shall rival Venice. If this is not done our people will be compelled to provide themselves with scaking ladders to enable them to get on the sidewalks. Only think of the appearance of gentlemen and ladies going about town with scaleing ladders on their backs. The U. B. church commenced •reeling a house which will be comple ted as soon as it can be done; and from the specifications we judge that it will be creditable alike to the church and our town. Our merchants and trading men seem to be doing a good business, and for integrity and fair dealing they are hard to excel. All that is wanting to make Geneva a good trading point is to improve the roads leading into the town.

I'I.EAMIXT M11.1.-i ITEMS. BY “SVMNY EYE" Old man “ague,'' still claims his share of mortal man. Quite a number of our citizens took in the camp meeting at Decatur on last j Sabbath.
