A big snow sto.m in northern and western Texas. After all it is “Rile that is riled!’’ The Judge of th« Cass circuit court has set aside the verdict of the jury of S6OO for pl’ff, in cause of Kennard vs. the Town of Montice’lo, and given judgment for the Town. The namn of J. O. Henderson, of th 3 Kokomo Dispatch, will be presented to the Democrat! State Convention for a place on the Democratic State Picket for Au» ditor of State. Mr H. is verv competent for th? position, and if nominated will go in to win. Senator Srooner, of Wisconsin, says that a “mortgage on a farm indicates, vigor, energy and prosperity.” The poor fellows who strain every nerve to remove their mortgages, with’ their farm products awav down, regard them as very aggravating “inct mbrances,” Mr. Spooner. The law, too, designates a ‘mortgage’ an in cum” brancc.

Indianapolis News, Republican: “Mr. Carlisle has me de a public statement of the Democratic position. It does not seem to us to be worth while. The position is impregnable in its right and no explanation is needed. The Republicans have done wrong, and have mad*» a record that will re turn to plague them.”

The Boston Advertiser, a pape r whose staunch Republicanism can not be questioned, gives this unheeded advice to its party: “It is better that the will of the people should stand nullified by the tyranny of a Democratic minority than that the Republicans should proceed without rules, to consider members as present who refuse to vote, and in a quorum so obtained proceed further to unseat enough Democrats (even though rightfully) to give the Republicans a working majority/’ Ihe Philadelphia Ledger (Rep.) goes for speaker Reed as follows: “What he did and was backed in by his “counted in’ quorum would not have been permitted in any intellig nt, lawful governed town council or lyceum debating club in the United States. In fact, there are not many in which so audacious a wrung would have been attempted by a selt-respecting presiding officer. ” Again the Ledger says: “Mr. Reed thinks he has won a great victory over the Democrats. AV ell, let us wai and see. An appeal lies to a higher court, whose decision ma oust Mr. Reed from the Speakership’s chair at the end of the present Congress and put a Democrot in his place, with a whole a.s.*nal of bad'precedents with which to persecute the Republican* members.” The Philadelphia Record has a very clear idea of the persons and interests that will be benefited by •peaker Reed’s performances. It remarks: “The subsidy-mongers and jobbers of every description who have axes to grind in Congress heartily approve of the course of the Speaker, as they eagerly recognize it the removal of a very serious obstacle to ‘the transaction of busies.’ AVhat they mean by ‘business’ are steamship subsidies and other lobby jobs for plundering the Tress,.rv»» i *’ !

VOORHEES’ SPEECH.

[Continued from Ist page.]

“If President Harrison is capable of appreciating the gravity of the charges implied in the reports sent out from his home he will hasten an inquiry into the subject. For the question at issue is whether the debauchery of the elective franchise is to be pronounced a legitimate and commendable prac tice by the representatives of a political party, or stamped as a treasonable crime aimed at the life of the state.” From a hundred other soui ces of high intelligence and commanding influence I might read to the Senat j words of similar import— There is a striking agreement of opinion in the best thought of the country as to the giant evil which more than any other at this time threatens tlie very existence of the Government as framed by the fathers. The corrupt use of money with which to prey upon the poverty ana weakness of certain voters who approach the polls in al. the states now darkens the future of this Republic, and will blot out #ll its stars of liberty and of glory in the midnight gloom of a plutocracy unless bribe-givers, ' ribe-takers, and all the advisers, counselors, and indorsers of briber r shall be held in every relation of life as pirates are held on *he high seas, enemies of the human race and legitimate objects of destruction. As well might you expect pure water in a stream flowing from a spring impregnated with deadly poison as to anticipate the blessings of self-government 1 ased upon a system of ballot infected by the leprous taint of money handed to the voter. The money power of this country has been fostered by vicious legislation into enormous and dangerous proportions, and is full of menace to the interests of the people in every direction, but all its evils are insignificant compaied with those which will follow the laying of its unhallowed hand on the ballot-box, the birthright of Americans, the safeguard, the palladium of all our liberties,rights, hopes. Sir, on this theme I speak not alone for Indiana. That noble Commonwealth is in no more danger t han her siser states, except in so far as the fact that she is a political battle-field, with forces of no great disparity, invites scoun dreis with large sums of money and systemized corruption to seek to control enough of those loose and worthless ravelings of humau life known as “floaters,” to secure a dishonest majority. The mass of her people are as incorruptible as any between the two oceans, and I here denounce the slander uttered and implied by District Attorney Chambers, when he said there was no crimin dity in Dudley’s letter “construed in the light of the knowledge that we now possess oi how elections in ndiana are conducted by both parties. ’ in be - half of the great body of the people of both parties in that great state, 1 repudiate this imputation of dishonesty and corruption, as the people themselves will repudiate, at the first opportunity, its author and all who uphold him. 1 ask for the adoption of the preamble and resolutions. Mr. Edn unds having replied, Mr. Voorhees rejoined as follows: Mr. Voorhees. Mr. President, there is a system in the practice of the law in ca n P(l t t, Hfc of attorney and barrister. I believe the barrister holds the attorney’s brief and speaks to the court and jury crom that brief. The senaator from Vermont [Mr.Edmunds] has held this morning the brief of the Attorney-General, and, as barrister, has spoken for him here; and inasmuch as he was coached very thoroughly this forenoon by the Attorney-General in person in this capitol building, I am surprised at the trashy and quibbling character of the stuff that he has trumped up from Indiana. Nobody could have given him such material except somebody charging himself with that duty from the state, and inasmuch as the attorney general was known to call the senatoi from the committee on foreign, relations this morning and hand him his notes, I take it that lam not transcending any rule of propriety in saying that he has spoken the answer of the attorney general to whatever impropriety t may attack to hia conduct.

A shert time since the Indianapolis Sentinel directed its correspondents throughout he state to make diligent inquiry for aspir-ants-for positions on the republican Mate ticket from fheir respective counties and counties adjoin ing them. The Sentinel received a large number of replies, among the following from Jasper county: Rensselaer, Feb. 9.—There is little said on politics here at this time, but the office-seekers are gently at work. This judicial and senatorial district is composed of Jasper Benton an Newton counties, and is republican by a large majoritv. Judge Edwin P. Hammond, of Rensselaer, who was circuit judge for many years, and whojwas appointed to fill a vacancy ob the supreme bench by Gov. Porter, but defeated for the place in 1884, would not be averse to succeeding J udge Mitchell. Peter H. Ward, of Kentland, the present circuit judge, is a candidate to succeed han self, and he will probably receive the nomira’ion; tho’ F. Chilcote, of Rensselaer, an able lawyer and good judicial t'mber, would like the place; but the ringsteis are against him. Senator Thompson will do all in his power to succeed himself. He has been a persistent effiee-seeker for the last twenty years from congressman down to fence viewer; but he has only succeeded in being elected prosecuting attorney two terms and senator one term, a - ways running greatly behind his ticket in his own county. He is a perfect “deg in the manger” in politics, and has but few perse nai friends, but his wealth and the wealth of his relatives makes him an antagonist not to be despised. He is one of the four who refused to do the bidding of the caucus during the winter of ’So--87, which greatly disappointed his supporters, who Always boasted of his genuine republicanism. John F. Johnson, of Newton county, the present representative, will r e a candidate for reselection. He is a harmless nonentity, but will probabb receive the nomination The prosecuting attorney will go o Benton county. Daniel Frasi r, John T Brown and a young man named Gray are ready for the place. The Democrats(,are hopeful, vigilant gand aggressive, and expect to make gains for the state ticket. A number of the friends of Eld. L. E. Conner, pastor of the Church of God, treated him to an agreeable and substantial surprise party lasturday evening-his 29th birthday. On the 25th, Stephen Protzman will offer at public sale, at his residence on the E. L. .ollingsworth larm, a short distance north of the depot, farming implements, stock, etc. Frank Zinina, at his residence, the old Priest farm, in Hanging Grove township, on the 27+h, will oed ou farm implements, stock, etc. -

Just Perfect is what a lady said to us of the March number of “Peterson,” and we can x ully endorse the verdict. The opening engraving is a beautiful picture, and the nnmerous wood illustrations are all capital. The fashion and household departments offer the most varied attractions. “I'he Mother’s Department” and “Things Worth Knowing” should be read by every houskeeper and mother. “Peterson’ is a rare combination of useful, artistic and literary excellence. No other two dollar magazine can boast such a list of contributors as Rebecca Harding Davis, M. G.McClenland, Minna Irving, Lucy H. Hooper, EdgarFawcett,Frank Lee Benedict, Howard Seely, Clarence M. Boutelle and var ious others prominent writers of prose and verse. So far this year it has even surpassed its former nigh standard of excellence in many respects.
