The Democratic State Convention will be held at Indianapolis, June 9tb. Sherman doe a not propose to explain the $240,000/ 00 steal from the Treasury, discovered by Senator Davis, of West Virginia. Cass and Carroll counties jointly offer a reward of S3OO for the arrest and delivery to the Sheriff of Carroll county of Jasper Choen, the fleeing cattle crook. South Bend has a debt of $275,000 and don’t know what to do about it, the adoption of the constitutional amendments prohibiting them from borrowing the money to pay the interest. Uncle Billy Clark made himself heard at the convention last Satur-day.—lro-quois, editor Republican. Yes, and so did Iro-qouis, who sat in the next, seat and clapped his hands and applauded vigorously every time.

Hon. Fred. Hoover is the leader of the Democracy of Jasper county. - Iro quois, editor Republican. Now if Iro-quois could make any one feel bad his object would be accomplished, and Gen. Thompson’s imported political suple-jack would be happy.

The wind generator of the Republican docs not ilke the application of "hogwash 'to his case. After awhile when he has had time to consider the fact that the “hogwash” was devoted to his cleansing he will more properly and fully appreciate it. The Nor.hern Prison, at Michigan city, under its present management is in a flourishing condition. According to the report of Warden Mudock the excess of receipts and earnings over the expenditures for the past quarter is $1,076.82. A good showing, Bob Ingersoll is of the opinion that “just now” the Democracy have the best chance of winning the Presidency. He says: “You see, the Demo crats have 138 votes solid from the South. That much they are sure of, and if they can carry New York and Indiana they will have 188 votes—three to spare.”

Olivtr Morton Shaw, son of Hon. B. C. Shaw, •x-Treasurer of State, on Friday, May I4th, at Indianapolis, received a slight wound on the forehead, from a piece of board, thrown off by a circular saw, from which he died on Friday last. He was eighteen years old, and the only surviving son of Colonel Shaw. If John Sherman should be a candidate for President he would be required to state how much the First. National Bank, of New York, secured in the great syndicate steal, and iiow much he secured for his own private purse. The amount was about $150,000,000, and John knows where the money went. Such things make John Sherman appear even worse than the Jenks letter.

The Republican Imperial Convention will be held at Chicago, next Wednesday, June 2d. Grant will be the nominee. Our neighbor is preparing to eat crow. He made an effort to procure one of the beautiful songsters a few weeks ago, but it turned out to be a blasted old owl. In case of failure to secure one of these birds, he has concluded a bargain for Halloran’s eagle. La Porte Argus: A friend has kindly handed us a copy of the Okalona States. The paper is a small affair, with a patent outside, and its standing at home is well illustrated by the fact that not a single merchant of the town has a line of advertising in it.— Its circulation is almost wholly among northern Republicans, and its insane ravings are repudiated by everybody where it is published. The New York Tribune, “founded by Horace Greeley,” falling from grace into the control of Jay Gould, says: “John Sherman is too slippery and snaky to trust.” Grant, Blaine, Conkling & Co., all come in for simi. lar compliments from opponents in their own party. Our radical neighbor hints at the probability and d»si rability of a third party in case Grant triumphs over his sun-struck friend, Jim Blaine.

The experts all decide that the note of warning received by cadet Whittaker was written by himself and the proof offered is overwhelmingly convincing to that belief. Of course, with this development, the belief that he also inflicted the injuries on himself is greatly strengthened and what at first appeared to be a tragedy now seems likely to end in a farce. It may prove a Atting flnale to the whole bloody shirt business.

Logansport Pharos : “From all that we can learn on the subject, the delegations which will attend tne Republican convention in this city on the 22d proximo to nominate a candidate for Congress, will stand as follows: The Cass county delegation will be about equally divided between McConnell and Bringhurst. Pulaski will be solid for McConnell. White will be first for Luse and McConnell second choice. Carroll will cast her vote for Applegate, while Jasper will be soiid for Thompeon. Newton and Benton will select Thompson for first choice with McConnell for second.— The other counties have not been heard from.

Iroquois is considerably dazed and bewildered at the very idea of collusion, and his soul shrinks back in horror when the spectre presents itself to his distorted vision. He denounces such a thing as being “politically dishonest”! but can condone and sane Hon the theft of the presidency, indorse Jim Blaine, who gets sun struck every time the investigating committee meets to inquire into certain steals in which he is implicated, Colfax ind Mobelier and all the other steals. “Satan rebuking sin” is more properly employed than are such creatures denouncing what they *ay “is politically dishonest.”

What constitutes “taking the surrender in good part,” or. rather, the thorough conversion of a rebel into a good, “trooly loil” Union man, in the estimation of radicals, is simply for him to vote the radical ticket - Mosby the rebel guerilla, holding office through Grant and Hayes, votes the'radical ticket, and declares he has not repented his part in the rebellion, and glories in the achievements of himself and Confederates in that con flict. Joe Brown, the keeper of Andersonville prison, is provided foi because he votes the radical ticket. — Wiiz, his subordinate, was hung for executing the order* of Brown. Key, Longstreet, Settle, in fact there is no end to the list of repentant rebels—repentant through the solitary act of voting the radical ticket.

The Republican this week complains bitterly of its inability to make its pledge good with reference to our sculp. It complains, too, of the disgust of its two hundred readers; of the return of not less than a half dozen of its papers each week through the post office marked “refused;” intimates that it will have its money even from those who never subscribed, if prosecution is necessary to suit—may be in a short time judging from the following; Logansport Pharos AL Bitters & Son, of tiie Rensselaer Republican, dssire to dispose of that office, and are offering it. as they claim, at a sacrifice.

We judge the remaks are designed for the benefit of the Sentinel, but as they do not fit in a single particular, we set them adrift in their proper channel.

“Iro-quois” writes up the Democratic Convention of last Saturday for the Republican this week. To say that the radical'ring, its swill-tub, and writers therefor, were dumbfounded, aggravated, dissatisfied, utterly demoralized at the result of the meeting is not expressing half the shock produced upon them. They say the postponement was a blunder, and one would naturally suppose®them to be highly delighted at the “blunder,” but such is not the fact, A more cissatisfied inconsolable set of demagogues cannot be drummed up, Had the convention made nominations those opposed to such u procedure would have submitted gracefully. The delegates in their wisdom, and by a decisive vote, deemed it best to postpone to a later day, and, so far as we know, those opposed to that movement yield with equal grace.

The space occupied in the swill tub in an attempt to create the impression that discord reigns in tiie Democratic camp, is all they have to show for their pains. We notify the radical ring and its subordinates they’ will have a stronger and more vigorous oppositition to fight this year than they have heretofore had to contend with.

Judge David Davis says the Third Term principle is “An innovation upon the sanctified traditions of the Presidency, and first established by the example of Washington, is urgently demanded by a powerful interest in tne Republican party. If the limitation of two terms, heretofore universally accepted, be destroyed, the way to a self-perpetuated Presidency will be opened. Break down this barrier, and an end of the experiment of republican government looms up darkly as the cost of a fatal concession. Great corporations, the rapid growth of corporate power and the malign influence which it exerts by combinations on National and State Legislatures, is a well-ground-ed cause of alarm. A struggle isim* pending in the near future between an overgrown power, with its vas* ramifications all over the Union and a hard grip on much of the political machinery on one hand, and the people in an unorganized condition on the other, for control of the Government. It will be watched by every patriot with intense anxiety.” He says of the public debt oi the United States, it, “In round numbers, is $2000,000,000, deducting the hoarded coin in the Treasury. The interest upon it last year was over SIOO,000,000. These are appalling figures. The rapid extinction of this debt is desirable, because it diminishes the present burdens, and for the additional reason that on® of the effects of personal and National debt is to create a preferred class to live on income. and free from taxes under our laws. Having the protection of the Government at home and abroad, they would contribute nothing to its support.”

Of elections, he says, “The ballotbox should be the safeguard of the Republic, for it is intended to express the free will of affiee people. Therefore elections ought to be exempt from the presence of any menacing force, aud to be free from containing corrupt Returning Boards. No party deserves confidence that seeks ascendancy byjstrikingjdown honest suffrage, either by use of troops, by fraud, or by intimidation.” Go to Mrs. Healey’s for the cheapest and best millinery goods in town.

Quite a number of Democrats have suggested chang‘ of date for holding the Convention, the day fixed being that which will most universally accepted for the 4th. If the committee think proper - the charge can oe made next week.

When Judge Mercer, of Pennslvania, told Judge Black that ne ought to be a Republican, the latter replied that th re was only one thing in the way. “If,” said he, “there was no hereafter, I would join the Republican party at once. Nothing deters me but th • fear of Loll.”

Senator McDonald, in a recent speech at Indianapolis, said: “The democrats have control of both branches of Congress, and there will be no electoral commissions nor returning boards there this time. The men who arc elected will be inaugurated, too, or nobody will.”

Grant, in a recent speech of his in Illinois, declared that the people in the Southern States through which he has traveled recently, are loyal and can 1 e relied on as good Union men. The question now is, does Grant tell a bare faced lie, or do the editors of the Republican papers who are continually harping blood and thunder, and that Southern people are as great rebels as ever, lie? It is self-evident that the party organs or Brant are consumate liars. We leave it for honest men to decide.

Who Foots the Bill?

It is often asserted that the whisky and tobacco consumers pay most of the revenue tax. From Secretary Sherman’s published statements it appears that the taxes on five arti<coSni°?o^inae necossit y contributed $69,014,247 to the treasury for 1879, as follows: Sugar and Molasses, $50,275,403 Wool and woolen goods, 18,805*340 C° ttou goods > 6,570.253 Matches, 3,357,251 Total > $69,014,247 From these figures it is shown that on everything worn of cotton or woolen fabrics rhe poor laboring man is forced to pay a tax, and when he and * n s famj ly indulge iu the luxury of coffee sweetened, or pan-cakes and molasses, he contributes to the wealth or the bondholder, even when using a match to light his fire. A revenue is paid on many other articles, and yet politicians and hard-pan newspapers continue in telling the people year after year that about all the revenue that is paid, is on tobacco and whisky? Do they intend to deceive the people?—Walkerton Visitor.

Something Worth Knowing. - Every little while we read in the papers 0 some one who has stuck-a rusty nail in his foot or knee, or hand, or some other portion of his body, and that lockjaw resulted therefrom, of which the patient died. If every person was aware of a remedy for all such wounds, and wouid apply it, then all such reoorts must cease. But, altho’

we can give the remedy, we cannot enforce its application. The remedy is simple, almost always on hand, and what is better, it is infallible. It is simply to smoko the wound, or any ■bruise or woumlthat is inflamed, with burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool will take, the pain out of the worst wound ; repeated two or three times, it will allay the worst case of inflammation -arising from a wound.—Exchange.

Other vapor-making Inhalers carry the vapor in a crude and objectionable state to the breathing' apparatus. Dr. Barber’s invention washes it free from all unwholesome particles through pure water, making it a faultless Inhaling instrument. Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever, and other diseases of the air passages of Nose, Throat and Lungs, can be reached only by Inhalation. Dr. Barber’s Inhaler carries healing vapor direct to thesore and inflamed surfaces, and searches out the very seat of disease. It is a complete treatment in itself—not a quack device for luring the sufferer to buy a batch of high-priced “ secret" nostrums. All intelligent physicians use and recommend Dr. Barber’s Inhaler. It cures Catarrh in all stages. It cures Bronchitis. It relieves and cures Asthma and Hay Fever. It cures Pneumonia, Diptherla, and even Consumption, if taken in time. It furnishes The ONLY TRUE WAY to CURE all diseases of the breathing apparatus. It is the cheapest radical and complete treatment ever known. Druggists sell Dr. Barber’s Inhaler.

It is easily and readily digested where all similar preparations are refused by the stomach, and immediately enters into the circulation, acting specifically upon the decaying lungs. The nutritious properties of the oil sustain ana build up the system, while the active curative properties of the preparation complete the work of healing. Is Retained by the Weakest Stomach. Is free from Unpleasant Taste. Arrests Decay. Never gets Rancid. It cures Consumption, Scrofula, Asthma, Bronchitis, Emaciation, Coughs, Colds, Hemorrhages and all lung and constitutional complaints. As a Blood Purifier the Carbolated Oil is remarkably efficient. Its use in Scrofulous Affections, Rheumatism, &c., is strongly recommended. Its puryfying power is wonderful in Consumption, —depending as it frequently does, upon Scrofulous taint. It acts upon the rational theory of Immediately Arresting Decay while it Builds up the System, enabling it to throw off the disease. It costs no more than ordinary oils—and testimonials during the past seven years prove itssuperiorWILLSON’S CARBOLATED (HORfE&IAN) COD LIVER OIL is sold only in large wedge-shaped bottles.

BfILD HEAD’S A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY! CARBOLINE I A Deodorized extract of Petroleum, The Only Article that Will Restore Hair on Bald Heads. What the World has been Wanting for Centuries. The greatest discovery of our day, ee far as a large portion of humanity is concerned, is CARBOLINE, an article prepared from petroleum, and which effects a complete and radioal cure in caee of baldness, or where the hair, owing to di«ea»en of the scalp, has become thin and tend* to fall eat It is also a speedy restorative, and while it# uae Menres a luxuriant growth of hair, it uleo bring* back the natural color, and gives the most complete satisfaction in the using. The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the preaaatare change in color are all evidences of a diseased condition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the hair. To arrest these causes the article need must possess niedic.il as well as chemical virtues, and tha change must begin under the t>cctlp to be of permanent ami lasting benefit. Such an article is CARBOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of elements almost la their natural state. Petroleum oil is the artiola which is made to work such extraordinary results ; but it is after it has been chemically ireated and completely deodorized that it Is improper conditio* for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the hair was first observed, a Government officer having noticed that a partially bald-headed servant of his, when trimming tha lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a few months a much finer head of black, glossy hair than he ever had before. The oil was tried o* horses ami cattle that had lost their hair from th* cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of horses, which had fallen out, were completely restored in a few weeks. These experiments wem heralded to the world, but the knowledge was pr*«tically useless to the prematurely -bald and gray, a* no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of relined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But tha skill of one of our chemists has overcome the diSculty, and by a process known only to himself, ha has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which renders it or being handled as aaiuiuy as the famous ■an de colopie. The experiments with tho deodorized liquid on the human hair were attended, with the most astonishing resulted A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears o* the first or secund dres sing, and the liquid so searching in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and set up a radical change from the start. It is well known that the most beautiful colors arc made from petroleum, and, by some mysterlont operation of nature, the use of this article gradually imparts, a beautiful light-brown color to ths hair which by eo.ntiniicd.use, deepens to a black. The color remains permanent for an indefinite length of time, and. the change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. Ina word, it is the most wonderful discovery of the age, and well calculated to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice. We advise our readers to give it a trial, feelinr satisfied that, one application will convince them c< its wonderful effects.— Pittsburgh Commercial ts Oct. 2-’, 1877. The article is telling its own story in the hands of thousands who are using it with the moat gratifyfaf and encouraging results : W. 11. Brill & Co., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, aayw. “We have sold preparations for the hair for upwa*4 of twi ::ty years, but have never had one to sell M well or give sh-11 universal satisfaction. We therefore reel.mm-nd it with confidence to our frion4* . and the general public." Mr. Gustavus F. Hall, of the Oatea Opera Troupe, writes: “After six weeks’ use lam co*vinced, as are also my comrades, that your ‘Carboline’ lias and is producing a wonderful growth of hair where 1 had none for years.” C. 11. Smith, of the Jennie Hight Combination, writes: “ After using your ‘ Carboline’ three week* I am convinced that bald heads c*n be ‘ re-haired.’' It’s simply wonderful in my case.” B. F. Arthur, chemist, Holyoke, Ma**., write*: “Your ‘Carboline’ has restored my bair after every--thing else had failed.” * Joseph E. Pond, attorney-at-law, No. Attltfboro, Mass., writes : For more than 30 ya*r* a portioa of my head has been as smooth and free from hair M a billiard ball, but some eight week* ago I »M ia- . duced to try vour CarboTine, and the efiact has been simply wonderful. Where ne hair has be** seen for years there now appears a thick growth, and I am convinced that by continuing Its nee I stall have as good a head of hair as I ever had. It lagrowing now nearly a* rapidly as hair doe* after it is cut. CARBOLIME Is now presented to the public without feaa-of contradiction as the best Restorative and Bjatntifler of? the Hair the world ha* ever produced. Price, ONE DOE DA It »erhojt4l«,.
