It has beets ‘‘i years ftnee Senator Albert J Beveridge, then aimort unknown and arrtneri first appeared before the foot-lights •• the sneceeeor to that time honored statesman David Turpie These have been six short year- but ranch and important American history has been written ant the then unknown Beveridge has developed into a very popular brand, perfectly safe and ease—save and-except his political tendencies To be a partisan is his right however. and will not blind us in the virtues he so richly possesses To think that in six yean he coaid so gracefully and effectively overcome the musty rales that for so long have bound and gagged the new and sparkling blood of the senate s member ship To think that in six years he could stand pre-eminent in th*“ august body of American statesmen sought and consulted upon every hand. To tb:nx that the ground work for this brilliant and political career was woven by a persevering spirit, unaided by the usual prevailing influences of wealth and position, and that at forty two be stands the pride of his state and hisjparty He has a right to hold his head high and be He has a right to look back over the short career of his life and feel that be has attained something and is somebody. He has a right to take his place at the head of that class of statesmen who are doing thing«'in this rapid and nerve-racking century from him and his achievements the young men of the oounfry may take hope and to know that fitness and accomplishment are the first essential qualifications for success in life. Representative Vizard has intro ; duoed a'/ill relative to macadamized and grave! roads. We are not famil’ar with the nature of the bill, but presume it is a good one Billy Blodgett a girl with the red hat has teen flirting with the Indi ana statesmen, and several sensations are about ripe This too. and the session has but fairly begun. The Indiana legislature wifi next Tuesday elect two United States senators The majority as well as the minority have caucused and the way is now clear. It now comes to light that a poll of the leaders in congress find* i ninety per cent of them again-' ' tariff revision Pennsylvania. Ohio New York. New .Jersey and West Virginia block the president’s game to revise the tariff. Rej/resentative McDowell is still hanging on to his circus legislation, and threatens to open the ball some time this week. His congratulatory mail has been heavy of late, and this vanity tickler has added more steam to rid the country of reserved seats in an elephant show The democratic legislative caucus decreed that John W. Kern and Benjamin f . Shively should shoulder the honors of the minorit*- as candidates for United States nators. The honors fall upon s;uare and deserving democrats, the only regret being that it will not admit them to real action 'n the legislative halls of the nat n Senator Ulrey, of Allen county nominated the Hon. ESenjamin F. Shively, of South Bend, for United States senator before the demociafic legislative caucus The gossips now have it that the occasion of Colonel Bryan's visit to Indianapolis was to influence the democrats of the legislature to confer senatorial honors upon Mr. Shively and Mr. Kern, and it is our opinion that the honor was worthily and intelligently bestowed. The honor is empty, but it is no lees a tribute from the party, and we voice the sentiments of the democracy of northeastern Indiana in congratu lating the recipients, who have been true to the faith and faithful to the truth. They would amply fill and grace neats in the United Sta tee senate—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

VOTE BUYING. Cougreaeman Francis M Gr.ffhrh, of Indiana in a talk with Mr Ludlow. tbe Washington eorr’espo&dent of the Indianapolis Star, gives unqua’.:fi**ifr.i :r*-’;-eEt ■ oiterflor Durbin's exposure of vote baying n Indiana I can remember, said Mr Griffith. “ when election expenses were confined to the printing of bills, a small amount for music and a small livery bill and the buvmg -f votes was unknown. 1 have »e*n the growth and development of this nefarious bc*:tjess until I now find myself wondering where it will end. The crime of vote buying m our state for years ha# been open and carried on on- ' blushingiy. In many counties, cities and townships the floating element bolds the raiance of p' wer. consequently our kcal government in such p.aces is the result of the sale and purchase of votes- From my own persona; observations I -<i v that gome mini.-ter? s-ime mcra. business men. had knowledge of the corrupt use of money and never uttered a word of reb ike. I have no j doubt the floating vote controls our state. It would be morebonorabje if our public offices were put up at auction to the highest bidder This crime of buying and selling is disastrous to public morals A man that will sell his vote will take! money to return a verdict as a juror. A man that will bribe a voter wi2 bribe a juror. a justice, a judge or other public official What saeonty hare we when surrounded by such conditions? The iaw should provide for the punishment of the vote buyer. Publicity sh.uld be compelled of all payments of money by candidates and others to committees. Forfeiture of office should be the result of the use of money.” We are glad to note that the senate of the Indiana generaljassembly are honest They said so themsejves, and that settles it. Mayor Ho.tzman. of Indianapolis, is a species of the Indiana democrat that some day will have to be reck ned with. All due regard to the other Lafayette banquet speeches, and the very able and distinguished gentleman who made them, the Democrat cheerfully proclaims that of Mayor Holtzman to be the best It was sensible, fair and honest, and above ail else it was democratic. There was nothing eratic. bombas - tic or populistic about it It was of the good old plain and unvarnished democracy, the kind our fathers worshiped and expounded and defended in the good old days. It stamped Mayor Holtzman as the kind of a democrat it is safe to follow, and his leadership is by no mean.- an impossibility. Senators Elected Indianapolis, Ind., Jan 17, 3 p. m.—Amid a confusion of eloquent oratory, Senator Albert J Beveridge and Congressman James A Heminw ay were elected to the Uni ted States senate. The former is r—elected while the latter takes the place of Vice President Fairbanks From the appearance of the crowd that was congregated at the Clover Leaf depot Toes, evening to take the Settlers’ excursion to the Southwest, one would have thought that the most of Adams county was g jing. and that that section of the coantey in a few years more would be made up of nothing but Hoosiers. Nineteen was the exact number that took advantage of the cheap rate, some going to Kansas, others to Arkansas and many to Missouri and Texas, also Oklahoma, with the intention to either visit, look over the country or to buy land for a future home. The cheap lands and heavy timbers are a great source of attraction. Those who took advantage of the excursion and their destination were as fol lows: Mr. and Mrs. Maiion Andrews, Arkansas, City, Kan.; Amos Light. Tenman, Kan.; G. A. Bar nett, Wichita, Kan.. Oscar Shaw, Cardwell, Mo.; George Brewster. Daniel Heaston, Oklahoma, City, Oxla.; Barney Ford, Otto, Judy, Dallas, Texas; Simeon Meyers, Mrs. Manda Blazer, Parsons, Kan.; John F. Snow, Mont Evans, Mrs. Peter Gaffer, John Lose, Dr. £. H. LeBrun, Harvey Hart, Arthur Berry and Peter Larent to Paragould. Arkansas
