Adams county will have a candidate for congress in the eighth district against George IV. Cromer. He is the Hon. Barton W. Quinn, who has the distinction of lieing the only republican mayor the city of Decatur ever had.—Hartford City Gazette. Adams county republicans will have a candidate for congress at the next eighth district congressional convention, in the person of B. W. Qninn of Decatur. The announcement was made public yesterday. Mr. Quinn's candidacy is largely due to the anti-Cromer sentiment in Adams county. An organized effort will again be made to defeat Cromer's nomination by republic i ans in that county.—Bluffton Banner. The sugar trust having bought a Controlling interest in its competitor the Beet Sugar Trust, the fight so long waged between the republican factions over Cuban reciprocity will probably cease. The reduction in the duty on sugar for which Cuban reciprocity provides, will give the combined trust an enormous bonus, amounting to millions of dollars on all the raw sugar imported from Cuba. and. under the ordinary laws of trade, the price of refined sugar should decline at the same ratio. But the trust is so fully protected by the duty of about one and one-quarter cents a ]K>und on refined sugar that the foreign article can hardly be imported here to conqx-te with the trust. If the democrats show gains in the elections this fall, it will indicate that. the voters are determined to turn out the republicans, with their numerous scandals, and inaugurate the reform that is so neceessary for the public welfare. "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none" is the democratic slogan, and as the voters are beginning to see that trust prosperity means the piling up of millions in the pockets of the favored few and no fair share to the many, it is only reasonable to expect the voters will demand a change in political conditions. That the republican leaders are frightened to the point of desperation is plain enough or President Roosevelt would not have authorized the speaking members of his Cabinet to take the stump for Hanna in Ohio and to bolster up the rotten Lodge machine in Massachusetts, and to aid the disrupt able crew in Kentucky that calls them selves the republican party in that state. Amusements. In presenting tonight's bill at Bosse's opera house the (.'. Y. M S. Club are offering a pastoral com-edy-drama of unusual strength and beauty. The part of Kathleen O'Conner is perhaps one of the strongest romantic parts in romantic comedy. Her simplicity, grace and wit. tend to bring her prominently to the audience, while her affection for Terence O'More, and her unhappy ambition which mars their happiness wins the sympathies « ,r the audience entirely. Terry's quaint humor and droll sayings, convulse his hearers while his openhearted frankness stamps him a typical frisb laddie. Father O’Cassidy s deep interest for his friends and his anxiety to help them makes him a most lovable character and one that appeals to all. Taken in its entirety Kathleen Mavmirneen will please its most critical audiences. Every effort has been made to stage it correctly, and during the action of the piece the club has arranged for some pleasing specialties and also for an excellent musical programme, so that there will not bi> a dull moment during the entire evening. Remember the date, as you will be sorry if you miss it. Meats on sale at the Holthouse Drug Co.’s store. Admission 25 and 35 cents.
