Democratic Congressional Convention. s 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, June 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 36 Huntington 34 •Jay 23 Miami 34 Wabash ’..24 Wells 27 *0 , Total 220 John A. W. Kintz, Chairman. John L. Strange, Secretary. The importance of good roads is a question our people should not overlook. The cheapness of construction is such that what has heretofore been the great draw-back, or at least those who oppose improvements ot that kind have advanced the idea that it would break up a common farmer, but it has been demonstrated that they can build on the co-operation plan by the farmers for a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars per mile, and that Toads near where gravel is can be f built for six hundred dollars per mile, so that it will be but a trifling amount for a number of farmers to join and build a road, they scarcely missing the time. —W Gravel Roads. Ed. Democrat: When will farmers who reside in the northern and central part of the county arise from their slumbers 1 and observe what their neighbors of the South part of the county are 5 doing in gravel road building. Each and every tax payer in the county is and has been for years contribu - ting towards gravel roads in the South part of the county, that benefit him nothing, (unless perchance ’he should drive over them.) We, in the north part of the county are just as “hard up” for gravel roads as our neighbors in the south, but for some cause or other have not • the energy to commence the underIfc taking. Possibly our neighbors in i the South part of the county will “loan out” a small portion of their | i energy in road building to us, in i. order to create “Root.” X. Y. Z.

One week from next Saturday, June 30tb, the second meeting ot the Adams County Fair projectors, will meet at the Court bouse, in ths city of Decatur. In the selection of the Board of Managers for thia Association each and every township in the county was recognized, i and the gentlemen selected to compose this Board of Managers are all well and favorably known to our people as thorough business men. Tourgee Will Sot Run Tor Congress. New York, June 18. — Judge Albion Tourgee, who has been the leading candidate foi the Republican nomination in the Thirty-fourth congressional district in this State, has withdrawn from the tight. He says the Republican party in this State seems to him to be drifting away from its old principles of ‘ free speech, free soil, free men.” He also says; “1 have an abiding faith in the American people and the voters of the Republican party. I have no more doubt of their inclination and ability than I have of their ultimate determination to overthrow oppression and establish justice for all. I recognize the fact however, tuat such determination must in both cases result from individual conviction of the need and efficiency of individual action. Such conviction can only arise from such discussion and illustration as shall bring the matter home to the attention of every voter.” When such able statesmen and life-long Republicans as Judge Tourgee desert the party of “Protection to American Industry,” there must surely be good reason for doing so, which the above explains.

PRETTY LIVELY PACE? » , Rapid Progress Made on the Tariff Bill In the Senate. r ________ J ONLY SIXTY-ONE PAGES YET. r Remaining Feat urea of the Free LUt s Completed—Mr. Peflter’a Income, Tax Amendment — Senator Mitchell Before 1 the Sugar Commltteo — Two Senators ! Tired of Public Life—Other Newa. Washington, June 21.—Rapid "progress was made on the tariff bill yeeteri day. The inoome tax had been reached | when the senate adjourned. Only 61 pages ot the bill, the income tax and in- ' ternal revenue features, remain undisposed of, and the end of the long debate • seems close at hand. The remaining features of the free list were completed without friction, both sugar and wool, the great controversial items, contrary to expectation, not giving rise to debate. A yea and nay vote was demanded on striking sugar from the free list, while the final struggle on free wool Was postponed until the bill shotild "be reported , to the senate. Tiie administrative features of the bill were stricken out, as Mr. Jones explained. in oixler to facilitate the passage of the bill. If it was deemed advisable later to enact the proposed administrative sections it could be done in a separate bill, he added. Mr. Allison intimated that it was the wish of the secretary of the treasury to place the new tariff bill in force under the operation of the present administrative law and if defects were found to correct them later on. The contest over the income tax bfcgan today. It is the general expectation that it will occupy at least two days. Mr. Peffer gave notice of his intention to offer an amendment to graduate the income tax so as to make incomes in excess of SI,OOO and below SIO,OOO subject to a tax of 1 per cent, between SIO,OOO and $25,000 2 per cent, between $25,000 and $50,000 3 per cent, between $50,000 and SIOO,OOO 4 per cent and above SIOO,000 5 per cent. EX-SENATOR PERKINS DEAD. He Passra Away Suddenly at His Washington Residence. Washington, June 21.—Hon. Bishop W. Perkins, ex-United States senator and for years a representative from Kansas, died suddenly at his home in this city yesterday afternoon. His death was due to cholera morbus contracted in Indian Territery a few days ago. He leaves a wife, two daughters and a son, all of them were present at the deathbed. A week ago he returned to Washington from Kansas, and since then has been suffering from bowel trouble, but until Tuesday night steadfastly refused to call a physician. During the night he became worse, and Dr. Brumbaugh was called ia. The ex-senator passed a quiet night. No serious alarm was felt during theiiay until 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, when the symptoms grew much worse. Mr. Perkins was a ready speaker and an able parliamentarian and while a member of the house was often chosen to fill the chair in the absence of Speaker Reed. Ex-Senator Perkins would have been a prominent candidate for the senate to succeed Senator Martin at the expiration of his term in March, 1895. TIRED OF PUBLIC LIFE. Two Senators Who Will Be Glad When Their Terms Expire. Washington, June 21.—1 tis not often that a member of the United States senate sits anxious and impatient for his term to expire, but that is the case now with Senator Wilson of lowa and Senator Dixon of Rhode Island. Both of them declined re-election, the former on account of his failing health and the latter because he does not like public life. Mr. Wilson has been in the senate and house for a great many years. He has had all the honors that his fellow-citi-zens can pay him. But for the past two or three years all labor has been irksome, and he has been able to perform b ; i duties only by economizing his streng.i and taking the closest care of himself. He wants to complete his term, whii h will expire next March, and will be glad when it is finished. Mitchell Denies Everything. Washington, June 21. — Senator Mitchell of Oregon went before the committee yesterday and made reply to questions concerning speculation in and ownership of sugar stock. He answered all the questions in the negative saying he had not bought, sold or owned any of Ihe stock and that no one connected with his family, to his knowledge. had done so. “We have,” said Senator Lodge yesterday, “examined all whose names have been mentioned, but if there are others Iwho can give us information we should like to have their names that they may be called to testify. We want all the light on the subject that is possible to obtain, but I should say that if no other witnesses are suggested, and I know of no others, we shall soon be ready to report.” Shanklin and the Berlin Consulship. Washington, June 21.—Editor John Gh Shanklin of Evansville had a private interview with the president yesterday before leaving for Indiana. The Berlin consulship was discussed. The president brought the matter up by referring to the move recently made in Mr. Shanklin’s interest by Congressman Taylor and others.
