THURSDAY, JANUARY 2.3. The frietMla M. E. lugaßxa booming him anaeandidarafor the democratic presidential nomination. He hails fnmiCineiiHiuti. Jack Gomdy is Mug antagonized by the republican machine in thia state for a third term as chairman of the xtatecentral committee. The board W trade is assured. Attend the winding up meeting at the court house Saturday night. Every laxly put a shoulder to ti»e whe< 1. BENJAMIN HaJCBJBON and Ml*. Dimmick will lx» married after Ix-nt. Here’s wishing them joy and all the balance of the pleasures of such a union. The children of Benjaman Harrison are now said to lx* displeased with the ex president’s forthcoming marriage. Scandal is again apparent amid the silken trews* of the upper ten.

E. Bts McKee has purchased the Red Key Times and asauinen control this week. Has has been successfully engaged in the newspaper business for a few years, and will make the Times a g«xxl paper. That business congress which Speaker Reed promised us, don’t seem to be doing much else than debating and debating and debat ing. For the good of the country there is too much red tape about the doings of congress anyway. The democratic state committee will meet some time al»out June 24. The last meeting of the state central committee decided on holding it two or three weeks prior to the national convention. The date will not be definitely determined upon until a later meeting of the committee. "— Chh ago is the most convenient point for Indianians to attend the , national convention, and its a foregone conclusion that a large repre Dentation will be there and help nominate the next president of the' United States. Adams county is entitled to the delegate from this congressional district. What say The law of the last congress ira-, posing an income tax wasthorough-; ly argued beforethe supreme court, • A majority of the court held it constitutional, but in a few days one of the judges changed. He held that that which he declared a short time before was law was not law. That which he held was constitional was not constitutional, I and in the twinkling of an eye the decision of a hundred years was created, and the power of the government to perpetuate itself by taxation impaired. The distinguished jurist from whose eyes the scales so rapidly fell can congratulate himself that he never had a superior in tearing down adjucated decisions or well-founded constitutional law.

i The name of Senator Foraker * has a presidential handle to it. The republican state neutral oom mi* tee as selected by the various districts conventions Tuesday, consists of H. J. Kereheval of Rockport, J. T. Lamb Bloomfield, George A. Self Uorydon, J. E. Ua* , key Greensburg, N. Filbrek Terre Haute, J. W. Feeler Indianapolis, George A. McCullough Muncie, Ambrose Moore Covington, T.»A. McCoy Rensalaer, George A.<*slx«ru .Marion, S. A. Wood Angola, 1 aud George A. Holman E*s hester. In this district a dark horse seems to have won. lj»Follette of Portland, ami Comer of Mancie were the candidates, but McCullough of I Muneic waschosen. Acwtaintdog 1 tight has been going on mow time Ix-tween Jack Gowdy of Rushville, ‘ and Yebeker of Covington, for the chairmanship of thia committee, ’•which will quite likely end iu the selwtion of a dark horse.

‘ Jvdge Hei.i.Eß convened the Adams circuit court in its Januaiy session Monday morning. He . came from active duty at Portland . Saturday evening, where a large ‘ and crowded docket was not entirei ly disposed «f. Thia state of things lias existed for a length of time, until it has become clear and wise that the judicial circuit bedivided ami each county made a circuit of itself. This is now the intention which will no doubt, lx* consutnated at the next session of the legislature. With this end in view we understand that Dave E. Smith will lx* a candidate before the next judicial convention for prosecuting attorney. It has tx*en a former custom with Adamseounty owning the judge, that Jay should control the prosecutor, but these new existing conditions entitled Adams to nominate her prosecutor. In relation to the candicacy of Mr. Smith it isn’t necessary for the Press to deliberate long upon his virtues and ability to be prosecutor of this circuit. He was deputy prosecutor for a few years, during which time he very admirably tilled that position, to the entire satisfaction ■ of every one who wishes to see law and order prevail. He is known all over the county and has many friends who will gladly assist in ' shaping his political kite. Money is bought and sold the same as commodities, and its value or purchasing power is determined by the law of supply and demand, with the difference, however, that money being the universal medium of exchange and standard of value, without which men can not procure what they want, nor pay their debts, money is always in a state of constant demand, such as nothing else is. The smaller the supply of real or primary money, in proportion to the amount of debts to be paid, and labor and commodities to be exchanged for it, I the greater becomes the purchasing | powerof every dollar, and the lower • the price of labor and all commodities. With dollars constantly increasing in value, and laud de creasing, A will not lend 11,000 for three or five years upon land , worth s2,ooofor fear thatatthe end of that the land may not sell for enough to pay him back his prin cipal to say nothing of his interest,. and he could better afford to lock up his SI,OOO and realiz.e the l>enefits of their increase in value than to take the risk of losing any part of his “fattening dollars.” A dol- ' lar whose purchasing power is constantly enhancing not only, wrongs every debtor, but tends directly to inflict injury upon every productive enterprise.

A very pleasant surprise was tendered Miss Bertha Fullenkamp Tuesday evening, which was quite thoroughly enjoyed by seventeen of her intimate friends. If our merchants want to thoroughly test the merits of judicious newspaper advertising, they should give it a trial when trade is dull. The most successful mer chants advertise the heaviest in dull seasons. George Headington of Monroe township, has been summoned as a jurist in the federal court at Indianapolis, where he is to appear for duty on February 3. He isn’t very much smitten on the job either, but some one has to do 'er. Dr. Ernest Kohn of Preble, unceremoniously invaded our sanctum Monday, and left an order for some of our superior stationery, with which to decorate his office. The Dr. is a fine looking young fellow, and knows the rudaments of medicine from a to z. The financial statement of the Bank of Berne will lie found in this issue. It’s condition is quite robust and denotes a mighty tine lot of business for a bank in a town the dimensions of Berne. Rud Lehman still manages the business, aud he knows how to do it too. Wells county democrats had a primary election last Saturday, which resulted in the nomination of W. H. Eichhorn for representative, William Higgins sheriff, B. F. Kain treasurer, J. H.

Word reached our city the first of the week announcing the death of an infant son of Rev. Wilson, a former pastor of the Presbyterian church. The many friends of the pastor will learn this with regret. An explosion at the gas pumping station at Red Key occurred Tues day evening. One man was killed anil four others perhaps fatallyinjured. One hundred cities are supplied from these lines who are now out of gas. The loss entailed is over SIOO,OOO. Van Wert officials came over last Saturday and took away the burglars our officers caught at Kingsland last Thursday night. Then Monday they took the one that was hurt by the Chicago <!t Erie passenger, so they have the trio who will quite likely get a better job than cracking safes. Our officers are feeling pretty good over making the catch. Sheriff Ashbaucher of Decatur, arrested two men at Kingsland Friday afternoon who were wanted at Abanaka, Ohio, for the burglary of a store. when searched he found on their persons $•>•», new underwear, shoes, and braces and bits which they had used in their business. The fellow struck by a C. & E. train at Magley, Thursday, is supposed to have lx*en a third party to the burglary although he gave his occupation as that of a traveling man.—BlutTtonChronicle. At the common council last Tues day evening the contract as official plumbers was awarded to Townsend Cox <Xr Co., and the city attorney was ordered to draw an ordinance embodying substantially the same conditions and provisions as in the contract existing between the Deca-; tur Water Works Company and Townsend & Cox. The committee on public improvements reported adverse to the erection of a building oq inlot number 24 as asked for by A. N. Steele, but reported that Mr. Steele bad agreed to comply with the ordinances in relation to the kind of building to be erected, and he was granted the right asked for.
