The Indiana republicans have ' changed their Indianapolis headquarters from the Denison hotel to the English. W. E.« English the rene- ‘ gade democrat is thus rubbed up the ‘ back. 1 y Our Washington correspondent in- ’ forms us that beefsteak is selling for 1 twenty-eight cents a pound at the na- < tional capital. This is tough for our t president who is serving his countrv t for only 850,000 a year. ' t j c Two candidates for secretary of < state are making an active canvass for the democratic nomination. Hon. Adam Heimberger of New Albanv and c Albert Schonover of Attica, are mak- v ing the contest, and there is some talk c of others. The convention will take t place at Indianapolis June 4. t T“—. i g The great paper combine has gob | e bled up the Indiana Paper and Pulp s factory at Marion, besides four other a concerns in the state. The purpose of ifc the combine in gathering in paper j and pulp mills, one after another is ■ c apparent. Paper men of the countrv n will be compelled to pay whatever s tribute this octopus may see fit to im- a pose. South Bend Times. h

’ Senator Beveridge says that as soon as congress adjourns he intends : to go to the maintains for a rest and that he will enter the campaign about September 20. Owing to the etop ded condition of the hotels at the UTt-ncb Lick Springs. s> the meeting of the Democratic Editorial Association has been changed to Indianapolis, where they will meet May 23 and 24. The democrats of South Carolina have decided to retire Senator Tillman after his present term. This may be a matter in which Senator Tillman will take a hand, but should the effort prove successful there will be just cause for rejoicing. Senator Rawlins,senior democratic member of the senate committee of the Philippines expressed the opinion that a vote could be reached on the Philippine government bill towards the end of the present week. Other members of the committee think the date of the vote may be postponed until some time next week, but some of them place the vote later than the 24th. The Indiana republican leadershave analyzed critically the results of the recent elections in Indiana and they are much discouraged. Publicly they are trying to make it appear that the elections turned entirely on local issues. Privately many of them admit that they believe that “the pendulum is about to swing the other way” in Indiana and that it would not surprise them if the state should go cratic this year. There is a unanimous demand not alone among democrats but republicans as well, for the nomination of the Hon. Hugh Dougherty for congress. Every one admits that the sacrifice would be great, but notwithstanding that fact there is none other who so completely fills all the demands of the present time. Adams county joins thg remainder of the district in hoping that this polished Indiana democrat can override the obstacles and succumb to the inevitable. Congressman Holliday, who has in charge the state board of agriculture’s claim for nearly 810,000 for damages done to the state fair grounds by volunteer troops, says there is no doubt that the bill will pass the house as soon as it can be reached on the calendar The house bill which is a substitute for the original bill, does not appropriate the money, but gives the board of agriculture the right to adjudication of the claim in the court of claims. , A bill to appropriate the money direct was introduced in the senate, but it has been side-tracked and an effort will be made to put the house bill through the senate.

DELEGATES NAMED. The Democratic County Central Committee Held an Important Meeting Saturday. In answer to a call made by Chair-| man McKean, nearly every member of I the democratic county central com-1 mittee met in this city Saturday. Out | of thirty-one members there were but : five absentees, thus showing unusual I enthusiasm and interest at this early I stage of the campaign. The most I important business was the selection of delegates to the state and congres-1 sionalconventions, those chosen being: | STATE.

The committee disposed of considerable other business and freely discussed many important features of the coming campaign. Judging from the tone of those who took part in the proceedings we are lead to believe that a lively campaign will be inaugurated and carried to a successful termination. The committee are already full of ginger and eagerly await the opening of the battle, the outcome of which will have an important bearing upon the great struggle of 1904. There are at least half a dozen republican congressmen from Indiana who are almost perspiring blood these days in the fear that the ship subsid v bill will yet be brought before the house for a vote. The worst of it is that they cannot find any information on the subject of definite enough a character to put their perturbed spi# its at rest. They are using all the influence they can command to have the bill held up in the committee, but just while they are working the hardest to this end comes the report that the friends of the bill are moving heaven and earth, so to speak, to have it placed on the calendar. There is not the slightest doubt about the people having at last become thoroughly aroused on the trust question. They were passive for a long time, quietly looking on for developments. This seems to have emboldened the trust champions and trust promoters. Now trusts were being formed and the old ones steadily becoming more grasping. The audacity of the beef trust exasperated the people beyond endurance. The revolt is on. It cannot be subdued until something is done to insure the public against further extortion. Drastic results mav follow. Smash-ups are not improbable. The responsibility therefor re«ts on organized greed. South Bend Times. At a meeting held in Muncie last Friday, Anderson was the place selected for the next democratic congressional convention, and Wednes day, June 18 was the time agreed upon. A delegation of prominent Madison county democrats were present and presented the claims of Anderson in their usual vigorous style. And it is true that no claims could be exaggerated. Anderson is one of the greatest cities in the gas belt, and it will be well worth the time and little money spent, to visit the town and see the sights. Besides ail this, the next congressman from the eighth congressional district will be named upon this days and a person can well afford to iide a thousand miles to event so important. Adams county with her 1,700 democratic majority this convention a rousing delegation, and as democrats we will be lacking in our duty should wo fail to send less than HX) shouting democrats from the Gibraltar of Indiana democracy. The Democrat will soon Ist in possession of rates, time of trains and other important information, that all may early prepare to visit the greatest city in the greatest congressional district in the country.

Last Sunday's issue of the Indianapolis Sentinel was one of the best pieces of newspaper work ever perpetrated in Indiana. But the fact of the matter is, every issue of the Sentinel is getting to be a daisy, and its typography is beyond reproach. De catur democrats who have been reading mugwump newspapers should discard them and warm up to the Sentinel.

Congress is likely to p.< .num this year not later than the middle of June. Despite reports to the contrary the work of the session is far along. There will be no delay on ac count of the isthmian canal legislation as that will go over until the short session. Isually the appropriation bills hold congress here, but this vear thev will not block the way to' an early adjournment. One of the greatest victories won bv the democrats Tuesday was in the city of South Bend. The democratic candidate for mayor had a majority of lOoti, and all the other democrats were elected by good majorities. The victory was not due to local issues, but to the encroachments of the trusts. South Bend is a laboring man's town and the loboring men there have been called upon to pay too much tribute to the trusts which have been permitted to do as they please by a republican administration. The revolt will grow in power and force and by next fall will be felt in every citv in every state in the union. Greed and extor tion, such as are at present practiced, cannot be tolerated by the common people of this country. Columbia City Post. The prospect of securing an appro priation to pay the Indiana war claim is not at ail flattering, and it looks as if the republican platform-makers made a “break” in taking credit in the state platform for securing money due the state on this claim. Congressman Hemenway, who, in his mind's eye, covered the money into the state treasury many moons ago, now says "he will do his best” toward securing the appropriation. He says that his first effort will be to have the claim Inconpofated in the general de- . ficiency bill by the committee on ap- ' propriations. This bill is one of the ! very last that passes congress before adjournment ami it will be at least three weeks More it is intnxluced in | the house. Should he fail to persuade i the appropriations committee to incorporate it in this bill he will offer it aa an amendment in the house, he says, and if the house should then ■ fad to tack it onto the bill he will : that it is offered as an amendment in < the senate. There aro so many “ifs” in the way that it would seem that the platform makers would have acted the part of wisdom if they had kept silent on this subject.

The result of the city elections is causing the democratic leaders to in 'bilge m hopes of gaining two or three Tt the n K f a 7 greSfi at the fall elections.

Political gossip at the state capita! finds things booming. The list of prospective candidates for places on the democratic ticket is growing. There will not be so large a field as there was at the recent’ republican state convention, but the indications are that the places will not > baggtng. Friends of Bartley H. Campbell, of Anderson, mention’d him for the nomination for at* am v general. He was formerly eighth ditnct chairman, and is one of th" pr m•nent democratic politicians of ’lie state. Many of the leaders "• ''id like to have a candidate or the ticket ” o n* ‘l”* gaS bolt, and Campbell l ‘ probably get the nomination for utter Hey general, if he would ask for it’ I here is talk also of John T.

Hartford, of Portland, who wanted the nomim*" tion for attorney general two years ago, may also be a candidate.
