Notwithstani>ini; “the fruit has all Iteen killed" we will have a crop just the same. Oast an eye or two over on the Buckeye state. They had repub lieati elections there Monday. It may be safely predicted that the silver issue is going to make more trouble for the democrats than any other question in the politics of the period. The Globe-Democrdt says: In vetoing the seignorage bill. Cleveland has again sensibly adjusted bis views to tile always reliable advice of John Sherman.

Replbi.icans over the city, township and county should remember that the convention on Saturday, April 14. is a mass convention as well as a nominating one. Delegates are to be chosen to four con-

ventions and business of great importance transacted. It will be the biggest convention of the year. As a ‘■feeler” on the evening of the republican convention for the republican boys wc will print in our Friday edition the full speech of Hon. Wm. McKinley at Minneapolis. It is well worth preserving. The passage of the Wilson bill is a foregone conclusion, but that will not deter the republicans from fighting it in such a way as to familiarize the country with all of its numerous wicked and destructive

features.

Many cities in Ohio went republican Monday for the first time in their existence. The vote was for unimportant ortices in most instances, but it bears out the system that republicans are voting early and often in 181*4. It is extremely fortunate that the shooting in south Greencastle Sunday was no worse than it was. By a lucky combination of circumstances the desperado's bullet was stopped. It was a temporary victor} - for a desperate thug, but he will, no doubt, be gathered in ere long. Such characters as Bourne should be behind strong bars. This country is too civilized for such men to run at large in. Fob letter heads $9.30 per thous and is too much. The county pays its otllciai organist, the Slur- /'rexx, that price. If democracy wants to | know what kind of a tariff is really a tax we will state for their benefit ; that $9.30 is a tarilf on one thousand letterheads. It’s a democratic tariff paid to a trust that has grown rich off the people of Putnam county. That price should be cut in twain hut it remains to be seen if the commissioners have the nerve

to do it.

The election returns of Monday from Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Connecticut and Iowa cities show immense republican gains, and bear out the well-established rule of this year that every election has demonstrated—that this is the year to redeem the country from democracy’s deadly clutch. The republicans expected just such victories and the self-satisfied smiles on their laces show that they are not disappointed. Thus it will be seen throughout the year, as the people speak in each succeeding election that republican principles shall

triumph.

Thebe are noeditorial utterances in the democratic journals of Greeneastle concerning Mr. Cleveland's vetoing of the Bland silver bill; in fact, it seems these papers decline to tell their readers anything on the subject at all, either news or editorial. Gentlemen, you are neglecting your readers, and as a re suit they will all have to read the views ot Mr. Cleveland’s act in the republican Banner Times. We know it is an awful big task to keep run of your party and its leaders these troublesome times, but you should do it or give up the gun. Mr. Cleveland has vetoed the Bland bill, brother democrats. The republican opening of the city campaign at the opera house last night by an imported ex-con-gressman of national reputation as the speaker of the evening means that grave national issues are involved.—Brazil Democrat. Sure, brother. Grave national issues are involved, and there have been but few graver before the people. The situation is especially grave in Clay county, and the idle workmen, coal miners, and others

thrown out of employment there by the present administration are living “object lessons” that Clay is a good county in which to expound “grave” national issues. The re-

publican party in Clay this year | the liaiise ro puss the Bland bill over

Mr. Cleveland’s veto, when the attempt is made thi~ week by the silver men to

The Banner Times has no dispo sition to recall any of the past differences of the party in Putnam county. That is all happily now, nothing more than an unpleasant remembrance. It is within the memory of all of us, however, the manner which Putnam has in the past sent delegations to the outside conventions, congressional, state and others. The other counties remember it, and there lias been a smile generally on the faces of del egations when the name of Putnam was called. It is a matter of general felicitation in the party that the dawn of a better day is come and the party now is united from Jackson to Washington and from Russell to Mill Creek townships. Such harmony never before pervaded the party in Putnam county. There is substance in it; there is hope in it, and there is victory in it. Putnam will he heard from in republican conventions this year, and no matter for whom her delegates vote there will be the best of harmony and good feeling. The spectre is gone. We will place a ticket in the field this year which will so commend itself to good government as to make it invulnerable and irresistible.

Man* Illinois cities threw off their democratic yokes yesterday. Wait uiftil the Indiana cities speak next month. Then will be heard a voice of thunder that will roll from one end of the country to another. It goes by turns this year, and it is Indiana’s turn next.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat says; The only democratic gain of the present year is the one that lias accrued to the prison in which the New York perpetrators of election frauds are confined.

The continued decline in wheat is the kind of an argument against democratic rule that no intelligent farmer can fail to understand.

Business is fining its best to revive, but is having an awful hard hard job of it with democracy's foot on it's neck.

South GreencaHtle. Tile first game of hall between south end and north end wdl occur the first of next week. “If ever the south end needs a policeman it is now’’ quoth Jerome Smith at an early hourTusday morning when he found that some one had entered his shop, carried off all his tools and had created quite a stir in general. Jerome closed up his ahop at eight o’clock Monday as usual, anil locked his door, so he thought but when two of his chums called around a little later and found the door unlocked they endeavored to show Jerome the neces sily of keeping things under lock and key. Combs, brushes, razors, mirrors and shears were hid and when Mr. Smith arrived Tuesday he was in anything but a pleasant mood, tint the sight of a pair of shears behind a picture soon restored his abundant good nature and he is now working away paying little attention to the many questions asked him about his hur glars.

that they can do it is having such a disturbing etfect iqioii the administration democrats that they are talking among themselves of filibustering to prevent a vote when Mr. Bland makes his motion to pass the bill over the veto. There are a few republicans who will vote for the motion anyway, and all that would be necessary for it to receiie more than the necessary two-third vote would he for the other republicans to abstain from voting, as more than two-thirds of the democrats will vote for the motion. The out and out silver men are not, however, anxious to see the Bland bill passed over the veto. They prefer it to he out of the way, so that they will be free to try to pass a free coinage bill. The democratic senators privately admit that they are not confident of passing the tariff bill, ahd the wildest man no longer talk* of passing it by the first of May. There is much gossip of an attempt being made to attach a free coinage amendment to the bill, but even if the attempt is to be made, which is not certain, it cannot be done until the bill reaches the amendment stage,which is sometime otf. Democratic senators positively refused to grant a hearing to a delegation of New England women mill-workers, who came to Washington to protest against the injustice of the tariff bill in dealing with matters in which the millworkers are vitally interested, but they got a hearing republican semitors gave it to them—and their objections to the bill will be stated to the senate and to the count;}’ by republican senators during the debate on the tariff'bill, which opened today according to program. The fight in the house to give the seat now held by Repo sentative Joy, of Missouri, to a democratie contestant who was not elected, which has been waged for more than a week without success, notwithstanding some very autocratic acts of Speaker Crisp, has brought out the fact that there are a score or more of democrats in the house who are too conscientious to take part in the theft of the seat merely to add one more to a democratic majority of ninety. But the act will doubtless be consummated this week, in spite of the protests of republicans and the nonvoting of conscientious democrats, as the absentees are being arrested and brought in and a voting democratic quorum will probably be obtained. It is just now a little puzzling to know why Secretary Carlisle should have considered it necessary to go to New York to assure the bankers of that city that Mr. Cleveland would make no concessions to the free silver men in congress. Why wasn't the veto message considered assurance enough? Some of the silver men express the fear that the administration is making arrangements for another bond issue, similar to the last one. Be that as it will, it may be set down as reasonably certain that congress will not follow Mr. Cleveland’s recommendation by authorizing a bond issue. Senator Voorbees was a little staggered the other day when confronted by the democratic governor of Indiana, and his stall', who hail come to Washington t<> protest against the tariff hill as it now stands. He couldn't turn them down, like he did the New England women, so they had a short but sharp word battle, the senator and the governor being the chief fighters. Governor Matthews, who is understood to be a candidate for Voorbees’ seat in the senate, told the senator that the Indiana democrats demanded a restoration of the original free li>t of the Wilson bill. Voorbees denied it. and said that Matthews had been trying to work up democratic opposition to the bill, hoping to use it to advance his senatorial aspirations. Matthews gave him to understand that the matter would figure in the senatorial election.

Coates college at Terre Haute, which takes its name from the late Mrs. Jane Coates of this city, who left a handsome provision in her will to the institution, is in hard lines financially. Says the Terre

Haute Express:

Unless $60,000 is pledged for the payment of ( oates college debts within the next few months that institution will undoubtedly be removed from Terre Haute to Craw fordsville. The liabilities of the college at present aggregate $76,000, with $106,000 assets. This financial condition has become a burden to those interested in the institution, and it is now generally understood that the debt must be paid. The offer made by Wabash college to take tlie Terre Haute institution still stands good. The Wabash college hoard agrees to take ( oates college, pay its indebtedness and leave the real estate clear in this city, for the benefits that can be derived through co-education, and the splendid advantages already established at the Terre Haute in stition. The offer lias considerable weight with the Coates college board from the Tact that the present financial embarrassment is of many years' standing. “On a prominent street the other day,” said a stroller, “I saw two young men walking together and talking earnestly; one of them was smoking. The smoker was the more earnest of the two. Pretty soon he looked at his cigar, which was about two-thirds smoked up, and lighted u fresh one. Instantly he went on talking. ‘Pooh !’ he began, and in his animation, instead of throwing the discarded cigar into the street, he tossed it in the air. It was caught as it came down by a tramp, who was walking behind him, and who, betraying no surprise whatever, went right on smok-
