Republicans in Indiana will do well to heed the advice given by the Evansville Journrtl, which says: “Now, then, don’t sit down and say that victory stares us in the face. Buckle on your armor, face the enemy—and the most treacherous enemy on the earth, by the way— and keep an eye on them until the polls close next November. Keep your ammunition ready, too; do not waste it, but fire when it will

do the most good.”

In endorsing Hon. James A. McNutt, of Brazil, and Hon. II. C. ! Lewis, of Greeneastle, for judge and prosecutor, respectively, of the i Thirteenth judicial district the reI publicans of ( lay county have I acted wisely. Mr. McNutt is a

Now that the Ifemocrat has been called down by the chairmnn of the prohibition county committee for its twaddle about that party, and has been compelled to make u firstly, secondly and thirdly explanation of its remarks, in the conclusion of which it prates of its oreat liberality in news giving in relation to the prohibition party in publishing their proceedings, etc., an explanation is now in order as to why that paper lias not published other political matter of interest hereabouts. It speaks especially of printing the resolutions of the prohibitiou party, but says not a word about why it, or its brother democratic paper, refused to place before their readers the well-worded, ringing and manly resolutions submitted to the voters of the county by the republicans at their late county convention. It wasn't surely the length of the resolutions, us they were not near so long as some the prohibition, people’s or other parties have passed, but it seems the leaders of the democratic party did not want their voters, such of them its read only democratic papers, to know where they were “at” or what is ailing them, or what the republicans propose to do. The fact is the democrats of Putnam are not keeping up with the procession on news nutters, and they should punch up the enterprise of their journals somewhat. The

Democrats are very busy nowdays in changing their minds to meet the changes in the tariff. In this month of conventions the republicans should not forget the township primary, which is called for Friday. May 25. The contest is warming up.

and iimie of them make any serious attempt to hide it. while Mr. Cleveland has gone a fishing to hide his disgust. The republican senators will caucus tonight to talk over their future course on the amendments. Coxey's nondescripts were compelled by the health authorities to leave the pest hole in which they hail been encamped, and being unable to secure any other place in Washington, they are now camped in Maryland, five miles from town. The Marylanders do not relish their presence even a little bit and threats are being openly made of compelling them to move on. Sufficient rations to feed the men is getting to be a serious problem with Coxey; he has got about all from Washington that he will get, and the Maryland people say they don’t intend to encourage their stay by helping to feed them. The argument for a new trial for Coxey, Browne and Jones, convicted of violating the law for the protection of the capitol building and grounds, will be heard tomorrow. It is regarded as certain that a new trial will be refused

Senator Hill, of New York, doesn’t mince words in expressing his opinion of tariff bill number four. He said : “Let the odium of its passage or praise for its defeat rest niton the shoulders of Senator Gorman, for aught I care. One thing is certain, the tariff bill now before the Semite should never become a law. There is no justice in It, and it is simply a subterfuge and a make-shift.” It may not be entirely just to charge Representative MeGaim. chairman of the house committee on labor, who offered the resolution, and a majority of the committee who voted to favorably report the resolution providing for the appointment of a joint congressional committee to investigate the industrial depression, with demugogueism : but if that resolution, following as it did the hearing granted Coxey by the labor committee, does not bear the genuine ear-marks of demagoguery it has some excellent imitations of them. It directs the appointment of a committee of seven—three senators anti four representatives—"to investigate and report to congress within thirty days the cause of the industrial depression responsible for so much distress throughout Ihe country and what legislation will preserve industrial and financial conditions

1892, it is still a tax. If it was for the “classes against the masses” in 1892, it is still for the “classes against the masses.” If it was “legalized robber}’,” then it is certainly “legalized robbery” now. With all power for a year and a ball the other party has not changed it. It has come to the question, shall we be “robbed” and still have plenty or shall we be ‘robbed” and have nothing. I believe the people this fall will conclude that it is better to be “robbed” and have prosperity. The coming of the Savior of the world never more perfectly fulfilled a prophecy than the conduct of the opposing party has fulfilled the predictions made by republicans for the last ten years. No political party may expect to succeed unless it is right. I believe the republican party is right in Putnam county, in the dis trict and in the state and I believe the people believe it and more, they are convinced of it. In this campaign in the county, state and congressional conventions the republicans of Putnam county have demonstrated to a mathematical certainty that they are united as never before. In such union there is strength, there is hope, there is victory. My services this campaign shall be first in anti for Putnam county. Command me at any time. ( haki.es B. Case. May 14 ( 1894.

The house judiciary committee, or rather the democratic majority of the committee, has another attack of states rights fever, a disease often scotched, hut never entirely killed, ami the result was the ordering of a favorable report on a hill introduced by Representative De Artnond.of Missouri, l>roviding that no judge of a United States court shall punish any citizen or officer for being in contempt for refusing to levy a tax or collect a tax for the payment of any bond issued Dy the municipality, comity or state where the levying of such tax or collection is contrary to the laws of the state. This bill, if it becomes a law, will make the law* of a state paramount to those of the United States, ami the decisions of the state courts paramount to those of the United States, which would he in accordance with the doctrine taught by southern democrats from Calhoun down to the present day, a doctrine which four years of the bloodiest war in history should forever ended, hut which somehow it did not.
