As a candidate before the rex publican convention for marshal Marsh Warren had a handsome plurality, but the ring downed him ■ *«•»-» Democrats of Rensselaer are requested to meet at the court house next Tuesday evening for the purpose of placing in nominal tion a corporation ticket Votebs The republican tariff bill now before eongress is designed to increase taxation without adding to the revenue of the government.— It is gotten up solely with a view to increase the revenues of the monopolists. Our leading feature this week is the long and able speech by Senator Turpie, of Indiana, on the Montana senatorship question.— j£e believe that the best way to g t all the facts in this case be fore the people is to give Mr. Turpie’s speech in full. It is powerful m its presentation of the facts and brilliant in its denunciation of the gross outrage of which the Republicans have bpen guilty in stealing the two senatorships from this new state. Senator Turpie’s excoriation of the vulgai and corrupt aotion of one of the two men whom the Republican senators have invited to be one of their number is the most scathing dia*» trine of the session, and Demo?* crate everywhere will enjoy reading it.—National Democrat. The Democratic state officials elected by the people of Montana are beyond the reach of the republicans of the senate, otherwise they would steal from them the positions to which they have been elected. We had intended replying at some length to-day to the commu* nication of Sup’t Warren, but upon looking over it more carefully we find it simply a rehash of what has appeared heretofore in the interest of the school book monopolies He admit* with the Repub* lican that the County Board of resolved not to force the books into the schools—a mild way of saying they refused to obey the law. In order to show that there would not have been the saving to school patrons we claimed, he says but about S6OO worth were purchased in the county As these were not of the series con#

for i y the State, he simply shows the expenses of the school patrons have been increased to that extent.

Rensselaer, Ind., Apr. 22, ’9O. To the People of Jasper Co. —Knowing that it is the desire of each and every one of the people of Jasper county that we be blest with gooc health, I would call at" tention to the fact that good health does not abound in ihe neighborhood of foul-smelling cesspools, hog pesa, accumulations of garbage and decaying animal and vegetable matter. Everything of this kind mnst be oleaned np and kept clean. A little work every day, or a little more onee a week, will do ii By attending to these matters promptly and regularly, much trouble as well as sickness will be avoided. Traly, Y. E. Louohridgb, M.

SIZE AND LONGEVITY.

Ko Find Relation Between Them, Tboafh Lars# Organizations lire Longest. Although there is some relation between size and longevity, the duration of the period of growth and length of life being, speaking generally, longest In the largest animals, there is no Axed relation between the two. The largest organizations live the some trees reaching the age of 6,000 pears, and some animals, as whales, several centuries. And, after maturity is reached, larger animals require longer time than smaller animals to secure the preservation of the species. The explanation of this, as pointed »ut by both Leuckhart and Herbert Spencer, is that “the absorbing surface of an animal only increases as the square of its length, while its size insreases as the cube; and it therefore follows that the longer an animal beDomes the greater will be the difficulty experienced in assimilating any nourishment over and above that which it requires for its own needs, and, therefore. the more slowly will it reproduce Itself.” We, however, find corresponding duration of life among animals of every different size. For instance, the toad and the cat live as long as the horse, the crayfish as long as the pig, and the pike and carp as lonv as the elephant In an Interesting appendix, from which these and the following facts are quoted, Dr. Weissman cites the case of a sea anemone which lived not less than sixty-six years. It was placed by Sir John Dalzell in a small glass jar in the Edinburgh botanical gardens in 1828, being then, as companions with other individuals reared from the egg period, fully seven years old. It died a natural death in 1887.

FARMERS HAVE AN EASY TIME.

An Ohioan Who Envies Their Lot as Compared with That of Business Men. A tired man of business was going homeward on a Columbus street oar the other evening, and, moved, perhaps, by his fatigues and cares, said to a friend: “The farmers are often supposed to be the class of all others in the general community who have a hard time and little pleasure. I think that a great error of judgment on the part of those who study the condition of mankind. We who live in cities may have more amusement, and on the whole more comfort, but we do not have the peace of mind that is the farmer’s most valuable possession. They have no cares like business men; they do not lie awake at night thinking of the business of the next day. “A farmer has his daily work, and after that Is finished he is free until the next day. They have hard work, with the accompaniments of pure air, refreshing and dreamless sleep, and general indifference to everything exoept the weather and the crops. No, indeed; a business man may have pleasure, amusement, and many comforts, but mentally and physically the majority of farmers have an easier time.

A NOVEL UMBRELLA.

A* Umbxwlla Which Rinmlnet— the Bight br Shooting Off Fireworks. A Philadelphian who arrived home recently from Europe, says the Inquirer, has an umbrella that was bought at the Paris exhibition, with which he has been alarming or amusing, as the case may be, his friends. Cue evening last week he was walking with a companion along a lane near his suburban residence. It was raining slightly and the umbrella was hoisted. While they were in deep conversation a noise like the firing or a toy pistol was heard, followed by a slight whizzing sound, as if some light body was rushing rapidly through the air. In a second a pretty piece of fireworks burst overhead and sent down a glittering shower of multi-colored fire. The friend made a startled movement, peered cautiously around in the darkness and remarked that it was a queer sort of a night for anybody to give a pyrotechnic exhibition out in the country. The owner of the umbrella assented and they resumed their walk. Pretty soon there was another explosion and a second rocket burst high up in the air. A third and a fourth followed in rapid succession, causing the mystified man to jump and rush about in a greatly excited condition. He was quickly calmed, however, when the umbrella’s proprietor handed it to him and told him to touch a small protuberance that appeared to be simply a part of the elaborate ornamentation. Then the fifth rocket ascended. ■ ‘The show is over,” said the returned traveler, “for you can only load the stick with five pieces of fireworks at a time. I paid $125 for the v umbrella and 100 loads, but I think it is worth the money. The stick is, of course, hollow; and the ferrule is closed with a lid that works on a ihiage. A detonationg apparatus is worked by the pressure which you have just made on the handle and makes the spark which communicates with the miniature rocket. The whole thing is ingenious but simple when you come to understand it.”
