There is already some talk of the joint representative convention, and the nomination will, of course, come to Putnam county, where it properly belongs. Precedent demands that Mr. T. T. Moore, who was almost forced into the race last time, again be the candidate, and the demand for that gentleman from Putnam, his native county, is unanimous. Mr. Moore would fill the position with dignity and vould. we believe, be triumphantly elected this year. He spent a great deal of time before in the race and made many friends out of his county, who, we believe, would favor his

renominution.

A Hanne k Times reporter was regaled for Imlfan hour on Satur day by a prominent democaat who wanted a change. He said he would not vote again for any man for over four years in office, and further stated that he knew of scores of other democrats in the same fix. He wants no second term four-year office iu his, and he was very bitter in referring to the present canvass of Mr. Harry Handel, saying he thought a .$i>5,000 pull by that gentleman and his family was enough to ask from Putnam county, without wanting to represent us in the legislature. There are many others who think and will

vote likewise.

On secular as well as religious matters our friend, the Western Christian Adroente, is generally in the front rank, and when . it goes into politics its criticisms are gen erally to the point. It says the following in regard to gold, eon-

The Parke County JOnmal appeared on Saturday. It is a new republican paper of bright looks. The ticket nominated by the republicans of Greencastle township Friday is a good one, and it will roll up a handsomely increased republican majority this fall. It is clean, strong and well balanced, and will receive the hearty support it deserves.

Statements made by democrats, mind you, not republicans, first indicated that it did, and the action of the investigating committee, in pretending to !«• greatly exercised because three newspaper correspondents—one of them a democrat, and Senator Murphy’s private secretary—have declined to give the names of those w ho gave them information. has not weakened the indication*. The committee may be perfectly honest in its attempt to make the correspondents tell the names of their informants, bnt experience should warn them of the time they are wasting. There is probably not a newspaper correspondent in Washington who would not go to jail and stay there rather than to tell the name of any man who had given him informati* a in confidence, and nobody knows this any better than the senators on this committee; hence tiie belief that they are merely using the correspondents iu making a play for time, instead of asking the men whose names have been directly connected with tiie scandal for the information that will establish tiie truth or falsity of tiie charge that tiie sugar trust dictated the sugar schedule of the tariff hill. Tiie present actions of the committee confirm tiie impression of those who predicted front the first that tin* whole investigation would be a* great a ti/.zle as that part of it which dealt with the alleged attempt to bribe

senators.

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt lias got bis lighting bloo I up. During tiie debate which preceded the democratic attempt to drop the appropriation for the civil service commission. Representatives Pendleton, of W. Va.. Knloe, of Tenn., and Stocksdale and Williams, of Miss., made statements reflecting upon the integrity of the commission, and accusing it of always favoring republicans. Mr. Roosevelt sent a communication to RepresentativeDeForest, chairman of the house committee on reform iu the civil service, branding each I and every statement made by the four representatives as unqualifiedly false, and daring them to attempt to prove them iu an investigation, which lie suggests lie made. There is no likelihood of an investigation, as it is well understood that the statements were , made largely to placate disappointed

Henry Wattekson tried his hand at describing the latest democratic tarirt bill with this result: The hill is a mongrel piebald of patches and pusillanimity, a grotesque hodgepodge of pretense and pettifogging, a nondescript abortion of incompetency, selfishness, cowardice and treachery. While the Democrat is prating of its prohibition scoop it should tell its friends of its scoop in getting out a special edition especially to enable a saloon keeper of the town to procure a license after the applicant had failed to get his ad vertisement in the regular edition of the paper. While the Democrat presists in refusing to publish great chunks of wisdom like the republi can county convention resolutions and seeks to go into side issues, it should mention all its scoops at

once.

thrown almost the whole cargo overboard to right the ship—silver, manufactories and all. Bnt the more it loses, the deeper it seems to sink. The pumps are out of order and the engines are disabled. Owners and underwriters more than suspect the officers of incapacity.” There hasn’t been a word printed in the democratic papers of Putnam about that printing steal whereby the organ grinder has been, and is still, permitted to charge $9.80 for letter-heads worth less than $5. The books of the court house have been cleared off the past few days, and an investigation on this point will not now endanger a case of cholera to the investigator. A person can safely look over the records, and if what we say is not a fact we will quit. The silence of the democratic pa-

pers seems to give consent.

Gold, like everything else, is afraid of tltis administration. At least, it gets away from itquitefast. Notwithstanding the$f>0,000,000in gold received from the late bond issue, the gold in tiie treasury is today below $80,000,000, and

It has according to tiie opinion of many of the

shrewdest observers in congress, including friends as well as enemies of the administration, another bond issue is only a question of time, and if there is not a decided “let up” iu tiie drain on tiie treasury, it will be a very short time. All of the prophecies of Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle concerning the return of gold from Europe have proved false. Should the tariff hill become a law by tiie first of July, which the democrats claim, but tiie republicans do not concede, there will be an immediate and immense drain on the remaining gold in tiie treasury, as the importers will want it to send to Europe to pay for the goods which tiie European manufacturers have been piling up to flood the American market w ith as soon as the democratic taritf goes into effect. Sec. < 'arlisle is doing absolutely nothing to protect the gold in the treasury, although his experience in placing tiie last bonds ought to have warned him of the difficulty lie may have iu floating another issue of bonds at the same rate.

not be done,

charges the state, judge, jury, church and ministry in affiliating witli the lawmaking powers of our country, with complicity in tiie murder of the convict’s wife, witotn he shot; and also charges the “powers that be” with murder in the first degree in the execution of the law that ends a life because of having committed a crime while under the influence of intoxicants served from a licensed saloon. To be true, I must resent the thrust and deny tiie charges. Xo power on eartli has the right to brand the ministry, church, judge, jury and advocate with being murderers because a man consents to cease being a man, and voluntarily goes into a saloon to drink. In fits appeal tie says: •"I began my downward career at a saloon bar.” He did not have to do that, though the saloon was licensed; just then he could have given his heart to God, and, filled with tiie Divine Spirit, could have avoided all the calamities of a life of debauchery. The history of tiie drink habit in contrast witli that of a sober, decent life is too legibly written for a man, or set of men, to paliate the crimes committed by “brute beasts,” who voluntarily fit themselves for their hellish work with intoxicating drinks. He did not have his wife and children, as he pretends, or he never would have taken on a habit that ends in direct

calamity.

I fiave lived more than three score years, and have never had to enter a saloon. 1 had enough self-respect and reverence for God’s law when a boy to say no when the “wicked enticed me,” and w hen I became a man, husband and father I added to my self-respect love, which has been as a “wall of fire” about me. I.et every young man do as I have—give drinking places a wide berth—as Solomon advises, and there would lie no asking for license as a | protection for the nefarious business. Tiie laws we have were not made to pr< - | tect and legalize the liquor traffic, but to prevent men from running into excesses in their criminal work: and wliile the laws are not what we desire, yet tiie best the authorities thought they could give us under the circumstances, hence they should not have the brand of wholesale murderers affixed. The inconsistency of prisons making this charge is seen in that many of them refuse to unite their force witli those of tiie dominant parties, who propose to antagonize the saloon unpolitically in the rigid enforcement of exist-

ing laws.

I util we can enforce the laws we have iu Indiana it is useless to enact more stringent ones. We need, first of all, to create a popular sentiment that w ill stand by men like Denny, of Indianapolis, in bringing men to justice who violate law, revoking their license whenever found guilty. With rigid enforcement of law I doubt whether a licensed saloon would exist three months in Greencastle. Can those w ho claim to want prohibition give a sensible reason why there should not he a strong and united effort put forth on tlii- line? Tiie man in the pamphlet who shot his wife could not have purchased a drop in Greencastle under tiie law. for it was proved, and he admitted that lie was an habitual drunkard. If the vender is not allowed to sell to drunkards, minors, on tiie Sabbath, holidays, etc., then the business is rendered unprofitable, and no man is fool enough to run a saloon for the pleasure there is in it. J. E. Xewhocsk.

Great Quantities. The same number of clerks, the same amount of store rent, small increase of insurance and taxes with more system will easily do the business of two stores, enabling the large store to sell stuff at an average of 5 per cent to 10 percent

cheaper and really fare better.

The democrat papers still refuse to print those republican resolu tions, and their is considerable silence around their sanctums about that gravel road $6000 matter, the interest on which, it is said, is being paid out of the county fund right along. The party managers tried to get rid of this bugaboo in the last campaign by smearing it over with a new trial, but they are now knocked out in the first round on that, and it is intimated that their supreme court action is all a bluff, simply to get rid of the mat ter for a year or so. The people of south Putnam, who have been robbed so mercilessly on gravel road deals, want to know where that $6000 is going to fall when the final settlement is made.

News From DePauw. Kappa Kappa Gamma entertained a host of her college friends Monday evening at the home of Miss Dova Lloyd on Washington street. Miss Lloyd was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Neff and Miss May Montgomery. The various rooms of the spacious home were beautiful with roses, carnations, peonies and ivy, while in some rooms great hanks of ferns and roses were artistically arranged. Light refreshments of cream and cake were served, and the Montani brothers, with violin and harp, poured forth sweet strains of music. It was certainly a most happy occasion. Among the guests from distance were Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Webber of Warsaw, Miss Johnson of Logan sport, Miss Burnsides and 51 r. Fred Ritter of Indianapolis, and Mr. Charles J. Downey, of Chicago.

N«e«l of the Hour. One of the needs of the hour— particularly the early morning hour, is a lawn mower that does not make more noise than a threshing ma chine or a road scraper, when hauled over our brick streets. The everlasting elickety-click of the lawn mower, at five o’clock in the morning, has been the source of an unlimited amount of profanitv. Your neighbor always selects the morning following the night you were out latest, to test the noise producing qualities of his lawn mower. If he lias an acre of lawn to mow, he invariably chooses that portion that is nearest your bedroom window, and he runs the machine with a vengeance and maloce that make the knives spin around with a velocity of a thousand revolutions a second. What the country wants is a deaf and dumb lawn mower,—or deaf and dumb neighbors—deaf so they cannot bear and dumb so you cannot heai what they want to say.
