When sixty business men can sit down tea midday luncheon and dis* cuss in a friendly way progress and prosperity of the community, we are forcibly reminded that ths city has indeed taken rapid strides toward bigger and better things—Exchange, last’s see, could sixty business men in Hartford City be placed at the same table without serious consequences to the tableware?— Hartford City News. The Daughters of the American Revolution are becoming somewhat man Isb in their election contests. They have got to the point where intimations of tampering with the ballots are openly made. At the next annual meeting the prospect for open war is good, and the next time the hair-pulling stage may be reached.— Columbia City Post The Atlanta Constitution, easily the foremost Democratic paper in Georgia, isgrotesquely comical when it suggehts and recommends to Democratic . congressmen from the south that they . continue to denounce the protective , tariff principles, but at the same time ] see to it that there is incorporated ( into the tariff schedules ample pro- f tection for whatever may be raised ( or manufactured in the south! As 3 the Germans shy, ‘"Das geht aber doch , ueber das Bohnenlied”*-1n the ver- { nacular of the realm, “That lays the ( song of the bean clear over.”—South Bend Times.

. Now that David Turpie is no more, Charles W. Fairbanks and James A. Heinen way are the only remaining ek-Unlted States senators in Indiana. It was Fairbanks who became the beneficiary of the political landslide that swept the Democratic party from power in 1894, and it was Mr. Fairbanks who succeeded Daniel W. Voor- * hees. The latter gentleman succeeded Oliver P. Morton in 1878, by appointment of Governor "Blue Jeans” Williams, and was elected three times “ successively by the legislature —first in 1879 j next in 1885, and for the third and last time in 1891. Voorhees remained in Washington after the expiration of his senatorial term—poor as a church mouse. Had he lived a few weeks longer President McKinley would have given him a $4,000 appointment. —South Bend Times. Fugitives Taylor and Finley may now return to their native state, secure by the grace of pardon from the governor of Kentucky. Pardoned Without jtrial and without even the attempt to clear themeelves from the charge of having conspired to take the UTe'df“Governor Goebel.' We belleye them both guilty of this conslpracy. and while they have suffered much mentally, they are fortunate in having friends at court who have se--7 cured fbr them freedom from probecution. Indiana has harbored them long enough, and we hope they will soon take advantage of the extended executive clemency, and hike back to the hffts where they belong. Editor John B. Stoll pays fine tribute to thelate Senator Turpie in the South Bend Times, declaring that he was a “remarkable man, endowed with a dliperb intellect and equipped with learning of the highest type. He was an authority on every subject pertaining to governmental affairs, While as a public speaker he combined earnestness with power of pre- , Mentation that gave him prestige as a veritable gladiator in debate and on the “rostrum.” Mr. Stoll, who is himself one of the old line democrats and men of great intellect ahd force Os character, closes his editorial with these words: “He was truly a great man. And he is the last one of that galaxy of democratic heroes that gave character, prestige and glory to the democratic party of Indiana—Wil-„ lard, Wright, Hendricks, McDonald, Voorhees, Holman, Kerr, Niblack,

Lowry* QoffroS, , Slack, Edgerton, Bu&hato Williams?’ ' . ‘ The.-report comes from Lafayette, that the personality of J. Frank Hanly is being made an issue, in the local option fight, and is causing men to take sides ofc a question that has a direct bearing welfare of the community. Was ever a proposition so absurd? If the people of Lafayette allow their like or their dislike for Frank Hanly to govern them 1 in any degree in the settlement of this question,-they fcuilty of an aslnlnity so closely akin to idiocy, as to suggest the propriety of a guar - dianship. So far ar the interest of Lafayette are concerned,,Fraak has just about as much actual relation to the weal option fight, as has the harem of the royal Turk.—Fort Wayne News.

The Indianapolis Star is one of the first of the metropolitan republican dairies Os the country to admit that the election of Grovcf Cleveland in 1892 and tHA enactment of the Wilson-GormaS tariff bill a year following his election had nothing to do with the panic of 1893. There are hundreds and thousands of misguided republicans all over the state who will be astonished that the Star or any other republican paper Would confess that the panic of 1893 was* in no respect due to the democratic president or tariff law enacted nearly a year after the panic had broken upon the country in full force. These same dyed-in-the-wool republicans still believe that the foreigner pays the tariff tax and that the tariff op wheat is a good thing, and it is highly probable that- some of them still believe that the republican party saved the union.—Columbia City Post.
