Adams county is entitled to a national delegate to the Chicago coarent ; on. Who wants 'er. The democracy of the District of <%. midda hate held its cottven tion for the election of delegate* to th- national c* uveution at ChiTin? city democratic central convirtr *•* had a meeting last night, al < . . . el everything for t . election of three cooncilmen in Mat.

Kentoky is mighty tired of bei g republican, in a verv short time.—New Albaaj Public Press. It it will lie remembered no doubt by many of the r-id-T' of the S in that two years ago a neat little book was issued entitled. ‘•VV.u’ Cmgress hi* I>me* fir the Peipie.” All the pag*s of the book were blank. A new edi tion of the wot k is now in pres* and wii: soon tae issued. The new volnme is to be greatly enlarged by the addition of more blank pages, and it is claimed by the author that it will most fully illustrate the work of the present congress.— Portlaud Sun.

If the coming campaign is to be fought out on ti e lines of tariff, the democrats have by long odd the bes' of it. When it comes to pro tection and tariff rt f •rtn the of the people of this country are for tariff reform, first, last and all the time. The last two overwhelming stampedes made against the dem < ratic party, wasn’t because the people had lost faith in tariff reform, hut because the demcratic congress had fai ed to ftilfiill their promise' on this subject. The time is past for any party to walk into power upon sweet smelling, idle worded, meaningless resolutions and all promises made will hen- 0* r hare to be fulfilled. The democratic party have had sad ex perienee and know the value and truth of this matter. Traitors in the la«t congress kept the party from filling its bonded obligations in full, and the r**ult was defeat and disaster followed. It will not happen again. Both parities in 1892 had very meaningless resohi tions on finan< e. It will not go this time.

The Ihdphost'onrruut now mine* ' twice a week. CITY election of councilman will be due the first Monday in May. J edge Zollers of E«rt Wayna, is being somewhat profusely mentioned for governor. Campaign is fast approaching and you will want u good newsy political paper. The Piux* can till the bi.l all right. Subscribe now. _________ The sheriff, at Green liehl, has been arrested for histnrdy, the charge being preferred by Nettie Clpggett, a colored piisoner, who was confined in the jail at Green-i field. The sheriff gave l*»nd for -gim. the preliminary to be held April 13. The democratic state convention is on June 24 at Indianapolis. The usual number of candidates will bob up i r recognition and honor at that time. Mayor Taggart, of Indian.ipoiis, has many friends who wiil push him forward for governor.

IJr.i’t hltcans “cuss” Cleveland because they know he would veto any congressional legislation the pr«-sent congress might enact. It is rather suggestive that they try it and see. This blunderbuss business of d—n if you don't and d—n if you do, is too thin to wash. Representative Overstreet, oi this state, introduced a bill providing for the payment of pensions by check. The bill has pns-ed and the president has signed it, who also thinks the bill agoodone. The payments to be made at Indianapolis on may 4 will be by check. New York republicans indorse Morton for president with a wild whoop. That settles McKinley’s little botnfort, uni-** it doesn’t. At the present time McKinley has by far the best end of the pole, and will bag the nomination if nothing intervenes between this and June 24. Sttpose the supreme eorrt of the state refuses to pass on the constitutionality of the apportionment law of 1885 until after the election. The election will be held under that law and the legislature elected will in the regular order make a new apportionment, and then what! All the fussand flurry tor nothing-—Muncie Herald. Senat- r Cillom is in the field and his long term of public service shoes the esteem in which he iheld by a cmstituency in one of the in -t popular states in the u i n. He says that he is poor and that if rich he would not sanction <*r p- rmit the tactics employed in behalf of McKinley for whom millions are being expended. In hi* hontst i idignatiou the Illinois veteran says without reservation that McKinley is less qualified for the presidency than any other con spieuons eindidate; that he has l<-- . .nrigo. and les* knowledge of national and international affairs. The spring election of three e>unci!rn*n for Decatur will soon occupy the personal attention of the voters of our city. Three democrat* to fill those positions is now the proper order of things, and the way to bring such a happy and just termination is for every democrat to take personal interest in the mit ter. Every one is interested in having good councilman. The dem > rats can furnish them so what more is needed. The name of Harry Knoff is ni ntioned from the first ward. Mr. Knoff is g good man, a good democrat and would make a rip-spankin’ good council member.

An honest vote iu this country would show an enormous majority opp-»*ed to the political control of the money ami monopoly combination calietl the republican party. To trace all the causes that have subordinated this sentiment would bean endless task; but the most potent influences have been cor ruption, deception and a willing ness on the part of thousands to cling to a party name withont thinking for themselves. To many of them the republican party is a fetich to which they give fealty because their father did and because it once had a worthy mia*ion. If this delusion be dispelled and the lamentable degeneracy of the party be comprehended by the people, its days are numbered: and never were the opportunities for pop lar enlightenment better than they are at the present. Out of the mouths of republican witnesses it is made plain that the wealth obtained by monopolistic power, established and favored by national legislation, is being poured out with a view to buying the presidency of the United States.

SENATOR DAVID TURPIE. Senator Tarpie, of Indiana, is probably the most accompllshrel man Hie senate has known since the death of Charles Sumner, latst week beepoke during most. f three -ittiugs of the senate in opposition to the resolution declaring Dupont entitled to a seat tn the Semite from the state of Delaware. It was as fine a legal argument as has been delivered in the senate for u any years mid exhausted every constitutional ami legal phase ot the sub ject. One peculiarity almut Turpie is that he never interrupts a eeimlor who is addressing the senate ami he does not like to I*- interrupted himself, ami woe to the man who interrupts him, for he has the tongue of a scorpion, Mitchell, ot < tregm, leads the Dupont force*, mid he persisted in Interrupting the old Hoosier lawyer. Even time he did it be went to gnus. Once when he asked a question that he had put in different forms a score of times, Turpie caused a laugh in the deeply old body with the retort! “ihe senate can m»t run thegovernment on conundrum*. The senator is infested with conun drums’”

Perhaps John Randolph himself was no more severe in invective than Turpie. lu denunciation of -eoundre'ism he is terrible. Some years ago in the Montana contested election case he held up to the execration of all honest men the contestant, Power, who was given the scat, however, by the republican majority. After he had served some years. Power appealed to Turpie to ptihlic’y withdraw the words, but Turpie is not built on that plan. He is as obdurate as fate, and it is doubttnl if he ha* even mentally retracted his terrible arraignment of President Lincoln in the senate in lsu t-4. If Turpie had the g ft of gab John James Ingalls could not hold a rush light to him.—Washington Special.

CUBAN RESOLUTIONS. “Be it resolved by the senate and honse • f representatives of the United States of America in congress asseu Ned, That the president of the United States is hereby directed to request the government of Spain, to institute such local government as they may wish and invest it with >ueh p->w*-rs as they may think necessary to secure to the people of Cuba the right of life, liberty ami the pursuit of happiness.

“In case Spain shall refuse to grant to the inhabitant of Cuba the rightful power of self govern ment then the president of the United States is h« reby directed to take charge of the island of Cuba with the military and naval forceof the United States and h“ld the same till the people of Culm can organizes government derivin'.’itjnst power* from the consent of the veined and arm and equip such military force as may l»e necess iry to protect them from invasion.”

The tariff-mongers who lament over the depression of the woolen industries are unable to account for enormous and unprecedented im portations oi fine wool during the past year, or for the large consumption of domestic wool during the same period. Taken fogethtr, the foreign importations of wool and the large domestic consumption are the manifest signs of a great revolution. If the woo en manufactures are depressed, how comes it that the manufacturers were a’>le to im port last year nearly 250,000,000

pounds of free wo >1 the bulk of it the finest fleeces of Australia and the Andes-, costing upward of *.10,000,000! When before in the history of trade did the American manufacturers import anything like this quantity of fine wools! When these question* shall have l»een answertai satisfactorily American consumers may possibly Iwcorne reconciled to the Rced-Dingby bill for heavily increasing the simies on their winter clothing.—Philadel phia Record.

Congress last week with the merry and familiar work of throwing out democrats who had been elected to congress by the people ami putting iu republican- who were not. In lb® particular job last performed the appetite of the republican majority was whetted to keener enjoyment by the fact that they were helping along the candidacy of Czar Reed for president. The alleged congressman seated from Alabama and who drew out 66,000 back salary, has Iwen chosen a delegate to the St. Ixktii- convention, and instructed for Reed. He was so chosen, however, by a run p convention, while the regular convention named McKinley delegate's. Congress has fixed the salaries of attorney gr neral and marshal of Indiana at $5,500. That isn’t bad.
