DAVID W. SHIELDS,

Chairman. Jas. W. McEwen, See’y.

The political shyßter and bum. mer wh© circulated the report that we would support the republican candidate for auditor, did so lor a purpose, and without authority from us. He is a liar, was an apt supporter and admirer of that prince of political acrobats, Horace E. James, and cannot appreciate honesty and fidelity to principle in others. No doubt the Demrcrats of Jass per and Newton will name the next member of the Indiana House of Representatives. Billy Owens has proved himself to b an expert dodger the present session of Congress. A good Democrat will defeat him next Novembe.

The belief is daily growing that the Democratic county coni vention on the first Saturday in August next will present for the suffrage of the voters of Jasper county a winning ticket. We invite the fellow that lied about us, whoever he is, to make the same effort for its success that we will. (

RAYING pf the CORNER STONE OF THE ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE, Rensselaer, Ind.

The Very Rev. JEL Brammer, administrator of the Diocese of Fort Wayne, in the absence of the Right Rev. Bishop Jos. Dwenger, who, being seriously sick, is staying in Albuquerque, N. M., blessed the corner stone of the St. Joseph’s College on July the 6th, at 3p. m. A numerous crowd came to witness the solemnity, and listened attentively to the addresses, prayers and songs on the occasion. On the whole it is a most orderly assembly and a memorable day. The ladies of Rensselaer had prepared a dinner and supper in the adjacent grove, and a great many of the visitors enjoyed the meals, and quenched their |thirst with lemon de, ice-cream and a “soft drink.” There was a continual profession from the collegegrounds to the near Indian school end everybody seemed to be pleased and to enjoy the time. The so lowing priests were present: Very Rev. H. Brammer, Ft. Wayne; Very Rev. H, Drees, Carthagena, Ohio; Rev. Thos. Eisenring, 0. P. P. S., Fort Wayne; Re". H. Hellhake, Remington; Revs. A. Dick and B. F. Hahn, Rensselaer.

The Fourth, at this place, was appropriately observed, although, owing to the busy season, not so largely attended as sometimes. Everybody enjoyed 'themselves. One of the marked features of the occasion was the parade of the Indian boys which drew forth commendations from all who witnessed it. In the Hundred yards sprint race young Oskosh, Indian, secured the prize, $5. Joe Daybird, Indian, took the prize in the barrel race. in the barrel race proper, through an accident to Joe Dayoird, GusGibuenesse was the winner. Daybird and Roderick Marion took the three-legged race, Bertie Rhoades the shoe race, and Oskosh the potato race. The white nine beat the Indians in the ball game. Pur e slo— to winners and $2,50 to losers. For largest township delegation m attendance, Union received two drums and fife.

Blame gave Harrison’s ‘home market” theory a knock down the other day when he said ‘we must enlarge our mar* ket”. The farmers and wage workers will give it another knock out when they go to the polls in November. . —■ «»»• The New York Tribune, one of the staunchest of Republican papers, is out in a column editorial calling a halt on pension legislation. If that paper were Democratic the Republican organs would call it a “rebel sheet”.

REDISTRATION NECESSARY.

Requirements of the New Election Law .Who Must Register..When ¥ Not many people seem to know it, but the time is at hand when registration under the new election law should begin. Those who are required to register must do so at the bounty Clerk’s office three months before election. The election this year will occur on November 4, so the last day for registration is less jthan a month from now. County Clerk lrwin> in accordance with tie provisions of the law, has placed in his office a registration book, and is patiently waiting for voters to come up and enroll their names. The cleik will get a fee of 25 cents (paid by the county) for each person that registers. State Librarian Dunn says in his official election law manual (required by law): “While the law does not require repeated registration of citizens who reside continuously in the same county from one general election to another, it does require the registration of every person who moves into any county within six months preceding an election, whether he previously resided within the State or not; and also, of every person, who having once been a citizen of Indiana shall have gone to another State with the intention of voting, or shall have been absent from the State for a period of six months. ” The system is a departure from ordina-. ry registration laws, and is des signed to cut off absolutely false declarations of residence and the importation of voters. Under the head of “Duties of Voters,” Mr. JDunn, in his manual, gives these plain instructions about registration: “The voter must register at the County Clerk’s office three months before election.

“1. If, having been a resident of Indiana, he has absented himself from the State for six monfhs or more. “2. If, having been a resident of Indiana, he has voted in another State. “3. If, having been a resident of Indiana, he has gone into another State or sovereignty with the intention of voting there. “4. If be has not been abonafide resident of the county in which he resides for at least six months before election. “The first three specifications are indefinite as to time, but presumably mean that the voter must register if he has so absented himself or voted since he last exercised the right of suffrage in Indiana.

“The certificate of registration must be taken to the polls, as the voter can not vote unless he pro duces it on demand of the challenger. This registration need no! be made if, prior to leaving the State, the vdter filed with the Countv Clerk a notice of his intention to hold residence in Indiana.'’ Under the provisions of tho law all the iudiana office holders :*n Washington must come home 1o register if they expect to partici* pate m the election this fall.— These voters are expected to swoop down upon Indiana next week Their fares will be paid or halffare granted.
