Democratic Congressional Convention. To the delegates of the Congressional Convention: Pursuant to an order of the Democratic Congressional Committee the several delegates to the Democratic Congressional Convention of the 11th District of Indiana are called to meet at the City of Decatur on Thursday, J une 28, 1894, at 10 o’clock a. m., tor the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress of said District. The number of delegates each county is entitled to is as follows: Counties. Delegates. Adams 29 Blackford 13 Grant 30 Huntingjpn 34 Jay ......23 Miami.....« 34 Wabash 24 Wells...'. 27 Total ... 220 John A. W. Kintz, Chairman. John L. Strange, Secretary. The Bridge spanning Mile Creek north of the City has long been condemned by Trustee Brown, of ’’ Root township. Now that the County Commissioners are in regular session, would it not be a prudent i act on their part to have a new and substantial bridge placed there at once, thereby avoiding chances of accidents? As co nsiderable comment has been made charging delay in the passage of the present tariff bill, it is but fair to give the dates when the several bills, during the last fifty years, have passed the Senate, so that a comparison can be made by the people, and a conclusion reached as to whether the work upon the present bill has been as rapid as k that upon its predecessors: E- Walker tariff, 1846, passed Senate July 28, 1846, and was approved by the President, July 30, 1847. Morrill tariff, 1861, reported to the House March 12, 1850, passed the Senate February 20, 1861, and IvN.waß approved March 2, 1861. I \ Tariff bill of 1883, passed the |s- House‘June 27, 1882, passed the Senate {February 20, 1883, and was Bn was approved March 3, 1883. The McKinley, tariff passed the I Senate September 1890, and was approved by the President October 171890. It seems to be the consensus of opinion by leaders upon both sides that the present tariff bill will pass ? t the Senate about the middle of June.

MEMORIAL DAY AT AR LING. TON. To give in full the oration delivered by Representative A. N. Martin at Arlington, on Memoilal Day would take up too much space m the Democrat, therefore we give it in sentences: “But why stand we here amongst the graves of the dead at Arlington to-day?” “Why seek we not the walks of the living at this moment? Why are all these thousands of people gathered here now? Why this procession, why the martial music and soft songs, the arms reversed and flags draped? Why all these imposing ceremonies? Let each one here answer from the heart as it may suggest, but let me reply that it is not only because this is Arlington, but because this is Memorial day, memorial of those who died to save our Union. Yes; Memorial day! Not Memorial day at Arlington only, but throughout the length and breadth, the north and the south, the east and tbe west of this great and splendid Union. ***** “To day, too, we honor those tenderhearted, brave, loving womenwho left home and its comforts to seek out the sick and wounded upon battiefields and in hospitals and whispered courage to the sick and consolation to the dying. O, brave women! fit companions of heroes! worthy comforters of those who needed comfort; we pay our tribute of memory’s affection this Memorial day. ***** “No man could ever achieve fame as a General at the head of an army of cowards. To succeed at all, the General must have the active instant support of brave soldiers. In spite of all that Grant could have done, the guns of the confederacy might still command the Mississippi at Vicksburg, if his soldiers had cravenly faltered and fled’ when that place was attacked. If his army had been cowards in the Wilderness, the battles of Cold Harbor and Spottsylvama would never have been tought, and Lee teould not have surrendered at Appomattox. If Hancock’s soldiers had been a crowd of cowards at Cemetery Hill, the force of tbe rebellion would not have been broken at Gettysburg. It that great host of Union soldiers had fted before Hood’s army at Nashville, -Pap’ rhomas’name would have been little known to-day. If the soldiers of the Union had fallen back in terror before the batteries which thundered death down the sides of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, Hooker would never have been known as ‘Fighting Joe ’ ” ***** “Great as all this sacrifice was; terrible as all this suffering proved; yet, thank God, our land was saved to us, saved to our childrejn, saved to the millions yet to come, and was worthy of it all. The memory of our dead is sacered to us, and will be perpetuated long after we shall have gone to our rest, long after the last veteran has answered the roll call from on high, long after the sons of veterans hold their last camp fire and the embers of life died out.” * * * * * “Comrades, our lines, once numbering millions, are rapidly thinning out, and each Memorial day finds new r graves filled from our ranks. It will not be many years until the ‘old soldier’ can scarce-find a comrade. Each sunset brings us ‘a day’s march nearer home.' Th‘e bugle will never again SQund the call to war in our ears.” “Let us remember, too, that our living comrades have a right to our loving friendship, and that life is too short to waste any of it in hating even an enemy, much less a comrade. Differences of opinions produce majorities and minorities in our land, and the rights of each we must respect and protect as part of our creed. 2 Let us never cherish such feelings as would lead us to indulge in harsh criticism or unjust censure of each other. Let us stand together in aiding, not only each

- —--- other, but all who need our help, or every just undertaking, and I am sure that the neighbors who know us and the'children of the laud will some day, when the time has come, strew the rose and the lilly and the for-get-me-not above us when Me1 morial day brings afresh to them memories of the old soldier sleeping beneath their floral offerings.” OBSTRUCTION IS REPUBLICAN. In dealing with the tariff the cardinal sin of the Senate has been obstruction, and the sinners are the Republicans have in a compact body resisted all progress toward a vote. It is they who have given to Gorman and Brice about all tbe power used to blackmail the Democratic majority. And Republicans were in every d eal Brcre and Gorman made What do Brice, Gorman, Smith and Murphy care about the cutlery and hardware schedules? What do they care about cotton? The hand of Quay is seen all through the metal classification, and Aldrich would as well have signed his name to the amendments. The Gorman combine has been a Republican deal. If tbe business men who are anxiously awaiting a settlement have had their eyeq open they must have seen that the great majority of Democrats in both Houses were ready and anxious months ago to give the country a liberally devised tariff law. The full strength of the Republicans has been put forth for obstruction. Nor can the obstruction come under any honest theory of conviction on the tariff. The Republican Senators knew that a law of some kind was certain to be passed. They could not say that they were fighting in the hope of presrving the McKinley law. All they have done is to hold their ranks solid for obstruction while the Gorman Democrats did the work of the lobby by bulldozing tactics. The Easterners who lead the Republicans got what they wanted for certain special interests, and got it through Gorman and his band. Then they were willing to negotiate of a roll call. All this four months of obstruction, in committee and on the floor, ha» not been to save the McKinley law, but to capture as much swag as possible for favorite trusts. THE WOOL MARKET. We clip the following from tbe Philadelphia price current which indicates the market value of this commodity at the manufacturing centers: As a rule, bnt few manufacturers are buying, the majority preferring to await the issue of the tariff question. By a great many persons ‘tie thought wool is now on a “free basis,” and all that is required to stimulate the market and influence a more liberal trade movement is to have the tariff legislation settled definitely. The few manufacturers who are at present buying are conducting operations for the limited quantities taken on a 17 cent basis and that for best grades. Dealers buy with alacrity but cast their linen for a catch of same grades at 16 cts. Counrty shippers appear agitated and ship freely, preferring’ to exchange goods at current prices rather than await a solution of the tariff enigma. We quote: Unwashed, extra choice ahd light. .16 to 17 “ common to good 15 to 16 “ Merino 12 to 13 Tub-washed, fair to choice. 21 to 23 Burry wool from 2 to 8 cts. less per lb., accordingjto quantity of burs-. All black, 2 to 3 cts. per lb. NOTICE. . v . With the approaching warm weather, various causes of disease will develop unless means are employed to remove them. It is therefore ordered that a general cleaning up be had and that, the debris which has accumulated during the winter months, be removed and destroyed in order that the people as-far as possible, may be protected from the ravages of diseases, which are in a great measure preventable. The city health officer will make his usual house to house inspection, commencing on Monday, June 11th, and where it is necessary, will serve notice on property holders who are maintaining any nuisancq detrimental to the public health. ' By order of the City Board of Health. . H. F. Costello, M. D., bec’y.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION A'dams county republicans met in convention at the court house this yesterday at 2:15 p. m. to nominate candidates for the various county offices to be voted for next November. Tbe enthusiasm generally displayed on occasions of this kind was conspicuously absent. This no doubt was owing to the chances of success of that party in an election where no personal or other differences are to be settled. The convention was called to order by Hon. R. 8. Peterson, who announced in a brief speech the object of the meeting and order of business. Auditor— John M Frisinger 383 ThosF Auten 122 W. A. Aspy, of Geneva, was nominated for Clerk by acclamation.

Cold weather for the season—reports of damage to the crop—higher foreign markets—and over sold markets at home, are 1 tbe price influences to-day, and the result is immense trading and liquidation, and a 1 large advance all along the line.
