Grover Cleveland, the only living ex president, was sixty-five years old Tuesday. From Washington comes the statement that Senator Beverage has been •selected to preside at the republican state convention which will be held at Indianapolis April 24. The old force bill is again in congress under the name of the Crumpacker measure. With the agitation of this sectional measure Crumpacker is rendering a valuable service to the democratic party, in uniting them upon one common ground.

I Bliffton wiil have no street fair this year, but they may comfort themselves in the fact that that the Great Northern Indiana Fair Association will open for business in this city Sept. 23-26. H. B. Bryan has sold the LaGrange Democrat to Harry L. Grandy, the latter taking charge of his new pos session last week. Under the control of Mr. Bryan the Democrat was a good newspaper, especially from a democratic point of view. Decatur is in it again. A letter at hand from the Decatur, Illinois, Herald states that they are looking up information concerning every Decatur i in existence, and in consequence want to know all about us. When properly compiled they will publish an exhaustive review. Hon. J. .1. Nettervii.le of Anderson, is being mentioned as a democratic candidate for congress in the eighth district. He would be a vast improvement over the present incumbent Cromer who. it is said spent between §3,000 and $4,000 to secure a renomination. Lagrange Democrat. Major Steele the dean of the Indiana delegation in congress, seems to have lost hiscunning. Up todateinthe race for a renomination his opponents have seriously impaired his chances by selecting delegates opposed to him. Can it be true that this silent statesman is to be lain up high and ’T y : The Hon. Daniel McDonald has sold the Plymouth Democrat to C. W. Metsker. The Democrat has ever and alwavs been the property of the McDonalds, and the present editor is one of the veteran newspaper men of Indiana, as well as one of its brightest and keenest writers, and the profession will greatly miss him. Gen. Miles submitted a plan to the president and the war department, ' wherein he made the specific request Ito be sent to the Philippines and therewith submitted a plan by which, in his opinion, the war could be brought to an end without further loss iof life. He was promptly turned down, much to the disgrace of those ‘ who champion the cause of the g. o. p. Decatur tips her hat to those newspapers and others who have displayed the evident good taste to mention this city in connection with the democratic j congressional convention, to be held within the next two or three months. Decatur as a hospitable city has no peers and but few equals and if the convention comes here, we will drain the St. Mary's and make things pleasant for the next renresentative of the eighth congressional district

H. S. Porter is now a member of the city council, being appointed to succeed the late George M. Haefling. | Mr. Porter will prove himself a valu | able member of this body, being possessed of good business ability and | safe judgment upon all matters of : business. He is likewise popular with ■ all classes of our people. Senator Frye told the senate that I people should not be shocked at pay- j ing monev out of the treasury to ship owners. “You do it for every other , industry in the country. You have j been doing it for years. Subsidy is I only another name for protection." | And protection is only’ another name i for subsidy. That is what the democrats have always maintained. Kokomo Dispatch. At a meeting of the republicans I and prohibitionists of the first ward held Saturday evening, and equal dis- i tribution of official honor was agreed i to. As a result Charles Teeple will | represent the g. o. p. and be their ‘ candidate for councilman, while Yes Peterson will confer a like honor upon j the prohi’s. The prohi party of the I first ward are enthusiastic to the core and promise to east a full party vote. ‘•There is but one thing at this mo- | ment that stands out bold and clear i on the horizon at the national capitol I before the eyes of all intelligent men. i That is that the democratic party has I in front of it a great opportunity, if it | but knows how to improve it. For the j first time in thirty years, it is the re- ' publicans who are at sea Their boat ' may not have sprung a leak. Both i compass and rudder may be still intact. But there are two pilots aboard. There are rocks ahead.”—Henry Wat terson. Notwithstanding the fact that Jay county, under all rules of political I honor, were entitled and promised the g. o. p. candidate for joint representative for Blackford. Jay and Randolph counties, yet when they met in con- I ventien at Red Key, Tuesday no at tempt was made to carry out party | pledges. Sydney Cantwell of Hart | fordJCity was nominated over Daniel i E. Griner of Jay county. It would! seem that Allen county has a rival in the hog combine. G x. Mile- has donned his fighting | clothes. He refuses to set foot in the secretary of war's office. Thursday he will go to the hitherto unheard of extreme of appearing before the senate committee on military affairs to op pose with characteristic vigor a pet bill of the secretary of war. a significant feature of which is the proposed aliolishment of the inspector-general's department, which is directly under Gen. Miles and has always taken sides 11 with him in his disagreements with j I the secretary of war. It is claimed I

that this bill is intended to diminish Gen. Miles’s influence. The tariff seems to be the most nrominent issue at present, and ExVice President Stevenson is out in a letter in which he expresses plainly his views of what constitutes the most vital issue now confronting the people. According to Mr. Stevenson the tariff question is bound to come to the front again in fact is already here and will over-shadow everything else. And, as in the past, it will cause a new alignment of parties. Those democrats who think they are benefitted by protection will vote the republican ticket, while those republicans who believe that protection on trust made articles fosters monopolies, increases the cost to consumers to an unjust extent, and disturbs our trade with the world, will vote with the democrats. The people of Indiana have asked for a good many things from congress at this session and have been granted almost nothing. Speaking in general terms, the session has been a rank and dismal failure, as far as Indiana is concerned. It is difficult to see how some of the Indiana republican congressmen can go before their constituents and ask for re-election with the record that is being made by congress to stare them in the face. ' Indiana people had hoped much from con gress at this session. They have freely expressed their wishes in count less petitions which, for all the good they have accomplished, might as well have been tossed into some back alley. It looks as if they may continue to petition until doomsday without attracting the sympathy of such a congress as the present one where the interest of the masses is forgotton in the great concern manifested for the welfare of the classes. Ludlow in Sentinel. The voters of Blue Creek township will give the macadam road question a turning over on Saturday, April 12. They have three roads under consid eration and if they succeed in build ing these roads they will prove of such mutual admiration and lienefit to all concerned that you could not take them away for ten times their cost. The plan suggested that the trustee plat the township and build so many roads, is an old time gag that has defeated many worthy projects, and the origin of it now is for the same purpose. The right thing for the Blue Creek township farmers to do. is to use their efforts first, last and all the time for all three roads. Any effort to carry one and defeat the other will end in the downfall of all of them, and will bring about a condition that will end the macadam road question for at least ten years to come. If the farmers of Blue Creek township not ice the difference in the price of land with a macadam road outlet and those not afforded this luxury, they can see at a glance what good roads mean.
