The Enquirer's Information. . ; It is a favorite claim of the gold- ! ites that gold i* the money Os the j world and that a man can take ■ American gold dollars to England and get their full value in British money. A short time ago Mr. A. J. Thorpe, a well known insurance man of this who has only recently been converted to the silver cause, went to no less tnan seven Cincinnati banks and asked them this question: Suppose I should send 820,000 in new full-weight American eagles to the Bank of England, would they give me $20,000 for the same? None of the Cincinnati bankers would give a satisfactory answer to the piestion, and Mr. Thorpe wrote to a leading bank in New York and received the foilowing reply: New York, July 3, 1.-96. Mr. A J. Thorpe, Cincinnati—Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry we beg to say that it you send 820,000 perfectly new, full-weight eagles to the bank of England the bank will not pay 820,000 for the same, as they have no dollars in England, but will give you credit for the pure gold that is in the shipment in pounds sterling at a price fixed for gold, i. e., so many shillings and pence per pound. “In fixing this price the bank does not pay for anything but the pure gold that is contained in the coin, i. e., 90 per cent, and does not pay anything for the ten per cent copper alloy. We give you this for your private information.” “This knocks the underpinning from the fellow who asserts that our money is taken at its fai'ftf value all over the world,” said Mr. Thorpe .to the Enquire. There is no stwh thing as money of the world, only materials of which money is made. Gold is. simply taken at its bullion value, measured just as so much corn or wheat or pork would be.”

I Bad Man's Paradise. . The wickedest spot in IndjhA'a without exception is located in Van Bureii, Grant county, where all kinds of vices reign supreme and without restraint. Two years ago Van Buren was a quiet little village that scarcely stirred, but today it is filled with the worst sporting element m the state, and gambling and prize fighting are e.Trried on under the very eyes of the law. The town is wide open, and its citizens are proud of the fact. The opening of m oil field naturally drew a tough element to the place to prey upon the operator who values his money only for tiie good time it will afford him, and when Mayor Zeigler, of Montpelier, drove out the gambling dens that part of its population was materially increased. One of the diversions of the crowd that now has possession of Van Boren is prize fighting. For some time a negro fighter has been making the place his headquarters, and Saturday night was pitted against a white pugilist for a purse of SSO. The match was pulled off in the woods a mile east of town, where two hundred spectators formed a ring and watched the contest, in the fifteenth round the negro j knocked his White opponent out, aim the crowd adjourned early Sunday morning. This is simply a <ample of life in Van Buren under the new order of things.—Bluffton News. The republican papers keep talking of Bryan as a “boy” as if they did not know that some of the greatest men known in history were “boys” when they attained fame. Alexander the Great was only thirtythree years of age at his death. Bonaparte was a brigadier-general at twenty-five, and first consul of the republic at thirty. - Alexander Hamilton was twenty years of age when be accepted an invitation to go on Washington’s staff. At thirty he was elected to the convention to revise the articles of confederation, and began writing the Federalist. At thirty-two he was made secrets!y of the treasury by Washington. Being voting is no evidence of incapacity or weakness. It will be observed that Rockefeller, Whitney, Morgan, Belmont, Pullman, the Vanderbilts, Goulds and Astors and the rest of the millionaires of the country are against ■the election of Bryan. Bryan is in favor of the restoration of silver and an income tax which will require the wealth of the, country to bear its just share of the burden of taxation. These millionaires turn up their noses at any movement for the good of the common peapie. Their hireling gold bug newspapers are now calling the people anarchists and cranks because they demand just laws. Mr. .McKinley in his recent speeches has intimated that those opposing his election are lacking in patriotism because they advocate a different financial policy from the one that has nearly ruined and bankrupted the business interests of the country. This has a very impertinent appearance on the major’s part The lack of patriotism is chargeable to his own party, as it declared solj emnly in a public-utterance that it awaited the pleasure of foreign na- . tions to. change a finahcia 1 policy that it dare not defend, and which it- intimated to be prolific of danger. Hon. Hugh Dougherty of Bluffton, who was reckoned among the : mast pronounced gold standard men in eastern Indiana, will support Bryan and Sewall and make speeches in their behalf from the standpoint of a business man and banker. He I was a former state senator and has for years been a prominent in Indiaryi politics. - The Cincinnati Enquirer says Hoke Smith has come out opeiriy and declares himself for Bryan, and say that if Grover and his cabinet bolts, either for McKinley or a sound money democrat, he will retire from the cabinet.

IHillOl RATH CONVENTION. CaiidldnlcM >’la< <■<! The Field Bj The lleiiKK-nitx. The convention, or two conventions rather, to place in nomination candidates for representative for Jay and Adams, and Jay, Adams and Blackford counties was held in the court house >it Portland, Wednesday afternoon Although the hour set was 1 o'clock, it was long past that hour when Chairman Burkett called the meeting to order, owing to the Blackford county delegation getting in late. On call of candidates for chairman of the meeting. Adams county presented E. E. McGriff, who was unanimously elected. Ou taking the chair Mr. McGriff made a very strong silver speech, which was enthusiastically received. His reference to the endorsement of Bryan by the populists created a good old democratic whoop, which made the temple of justic fairly shake. On call of the roll Adams county presented the name of Michael McGriff as Representative committeeman; also for Jay, Adams and Blackford, Jay presented the name of T J. Harkins; Blackford the name of J P. Rawlings On roll call of counties the delegations were reported as all in attendance.

The counties being called, Jay and Admas haying no» candidate, Blackford presented the name of J. T. McGeatii. of Hartford City, who was nominated bv acclamation, Mr- McGeatii being called for. simply thanked the convention very kindly for the honor conferred upon him. saying that be would withdraw in favor of other speakers, Mr. John M. Smith was called for a talk, but declined in favor of R. S. Gray, who responded in a very happy manner and was well applauded.
