Who for Congress?

The time is approaching when the Democracy of this Congressional District v ill be called upon to present a can 'dilate for the suffrages of the people. Taking the vote of two years ago as a basis, the margin to overcome is so small that care exercised in the selection may result in success. A number o. gentlemen have already been named in connection with the position, and we to-day add to the list the name of Hon. John C. Nelson, of Logansport, late Judge of the Superior Court in that city. He is a gentleman of line abilities, honest in purpose, and dignified in manners. He is held in high esteem by all who know him, will solidify the Democratic vote of Cass and adjoining counties, and draw from the ranks of the opposition. We suggest the name of Judge Nelson for favorable r onsideration.

Col. C. C. Matson, lias been renominated for Congress by the Democracy of tne Fifth District. Serves him right. The Valparaiso Messenger says that Mr. Jeremiah D. Tucker, of that city, Greenback candidate for congress, “is a farmer by occupation, a good talker, and stands high with his party.” The South Bend Times says- “ Don Dickinson, the leader of the Michigan Democracy expresses the opinion that President Cleveland will be renominated and triumphantly re-elected.” — Friends ot Jas. G. Blame have been exceedingly anxious to create the impression that he was a Knight of Labor. Being questioned as to its truth, T. V. Powderly gives it the prompt and emphatic “No!” The question is settled. a I' —... James G, Blaine, at a home-rule for Ireland meeting held recently in a town in Maine, fairly ‘gushed.’ He should have ‘gushed’ while Seoretary of State, at a time when McSween / was demanding it, and when it might have done some good. But he failed to ‘gush.’ “What has your administration done?” is asked in a fault-finding tone. During March $14,000,000 of the public debt was paid. As compared with March, 1885, the revenues were increased $8,765,432 and the expenditures were diminished $10,862,955. That’s for the month of March mind. you. In the nine months of Cleveland’s administration running from July 1,1885, to April 1, 1886, the revenues were increased $10, 000,000 and the expenditures were decreased $23,000,000 as compared with the last nine monthe of Arthur’s dministration—a difference o f $33,000,000 in favor of Cleveland's administration. Besides millions upon millions of acres of the public lands have been recovered back by the government, and arrangements made for the recovery of millions upon millions more acres. This is something worth talking about, and you may mention it to your Republican neighbors.

The Philadelphia Record utters this note of warning: “The protectionists in this country have made a pretense of protecting labor as they have protected the manufacture of certain commodities. But the protection of labor has never been anything more than a pretense. Instead of trying to restrict the supply of labor, which is the only way of permanently increasing wages, they have tried to enlarge the supply of importation. The demand of the socialists that persons as well as things shall be protected by restrictive laws is carrying the doctrine of protection and paternalism to its legitimate conclusion. Protection inevitably runs into socialism and justifies it. The right arbitrarily to take t .e property of one man by virtue of the power of taxation and turn it over to the use of another man covers the seed of socialism and justifies whatever growth springs from it.”

The Laporte Argus thus squarely hits a nail on the head: “A large number of business men and Republicans throughout the country for many years honestly felt that it would be unsafe to trust the financial management of the nation in the hands of Democrats. — A trial of the party has conclusively demonstrated the absurdity of tlrs fear and it is now admitted on all hands that the finances of the country are perfectly safe in Democratic hands. It is a matter of pride, too, that under Democratic rule the credit of the government ha ; reached the highest point ever attained in the foreign market. Un ted States 4 per cent, bonds now command 137| in London, putting them far above any bonds in the world, as at this figure they pay only at maturity. It is worth remembering and worth talking about that under Democratic rule, the credit of the country is better than it ever was before and better than that of any other in the world. This is an excellent text for use in the next campaign.

In response to an objectionable article contained in the Messag of this week,. County Auditor Geo. M. Robinson proceeded Wednesday evening to employ “knockdown” argument in self-defense. We can only judge of the force by the appearance of Bro. James’ “peepers” which are highly colored. Referring to a weak censure of Sheriff Yeoman, contained in the Republican, the first number of th Message said: “Such conduct is removed in degree, but not in principle, from blackmail. It is destructive of harmony, without which no organization can long endure.” And yet Bro. Marshal 1 * did not secure a pair of black optics. We think, judging from the result, that Bro. James, as a selfassumed instructor in the amenities of journalism is not a success. A trial was had before Justice Purcupile yesterday, and if we can procure a copy of the proceedings will lay them before our readers next week. As the little misunderstanding is outside of our political family circle we shall endeavor to give both sides a fair show.

American Enterprise.

No invention of the nineteenth century has worked a greater revolution in household economy or conferred more of a benefit on humanity than the sewing machine. The first productions were crude and uncouth in the extreme, and it was reserved for American skill ingenuity to bring forth a machine of any practical value. In order to appreciate the great advancement which has place it is only necessary to compare one of the machines built during the infancy of the invention with one of the latest improved ‘ Light-Running New Home ” All the really good points contained in other machines have been utilized in its construction. — Many new improvements and devices have also been added, the result of which is a machine as nearly perfect as it is possibie to make one.

For simplicity, durability, ease of management and capacity for work, the “Light-Running New Home” has no rival, and the happy possessor of one may rest assured that he or she has the very best the world affords.

Modes of Salutations.

A French traveller, says an exchange, reports that every race among whom he has sojourned has its own mode of salutation, not excepting the great Yankee nation. He informs his readers that, however, a few polite and Europeanized Americans may salute one another, the characteristic national salutation is “Hello!” We fear he is right. The telephone is accused of having fastened the stigma upon us, but in truth the telephone only adopted a word familiar to all boys and most men. The Irish say on meeting, “God bless you!" On entering a dwelling, “God save all here!” The Arabs say on meeting, “A fine morning to you!” The Turk says with dignified gravity, “God grant you his blessings.” The Persian salutation is familiar to all the world for its comic qnaintness, “May your shadow never grow less.” The Egyptian is a practical man. He has to earn his taxes by toil under a burning sun, and accordingly when he meets his fellow he asks, “How do you sweatP”

The reader is probably aware that in those low latitudes all is well with a laborer as long as he perspires freely. The good Chinaman loves his dinner. “How are you digesting?" he kindly inquires on meeting a mend. The Greeks, who are keen men of business, close bargainers, ask one another, “How are you getting on?” The national salutation of Naples was formerly. “Grow in grace!” At present in all parts of Italy they use a phrase equivalent to “How are you?” The Spaniards, “How are you passine* it?” The French, “How do you carry yourself?” The Germans, “How does it go?" The Dutch. “How do you travel?” The Swedes, “How can you?” meaning, “Are you in good vigor?" The Russians, “Be well!” The English-speaking races, in addition to the juvenile and telephonic “Hello!” say, “How are you?” and “How do you do?” We also take off the hat, shake bands, embrace, bow and kiss, as, in other climes, people rub noses, touch foreheads and take on their shot's. The American in Italy is surprised to see men embrace and kiss each other, as in the Bible lands. The Italians in turn look upon our hand-shaking as cold and ridiculous, the bobbing up and down of the arm having no meaning whatever in their view. The touching of the tips of gloved fingers, if more graceful than handshaking, mast also seem to people of the east as professional and expressionless. The bow, mm a mark of respect, is a custom used by all nations, and one that had its origin in tkmtMmm.
