The Democratic State Convention will be held at Indianapolis April 14th, 1892. Indianapolis is making a heroic effort to secure the Democratic National Convention. We hope the effort m.y be successful. The Democratic State Central Commit tee met a’ Indianapolis, Wtduesd-iv, nnd organized with Thomas Taggart, of Marion county, as chaitman. Henry A. Barnhart, of Fulton county, was selected by the District Convention held at Locansport on the Bth, to represent the Tenth District on the State Cen tral Committee. "■" " •«« i - Speaker Crisp says there will be no step backw rd taken by the Douse of Re. presntatives in the m .tter o' tar if reform, and ohairman Springer of the ways and means committee gives emphasis to the sentiment. ' Hon. D. H. Patton, congressman from the Tenth congressional district, has fated pretty well nuder Speaker Crisp. Hereceived two committee appointments.He is the fouith member of the committee on military aft'a rs and a membei on levees »ndimprovements of the Mississippi river The appointment as fourth member "of committee on military atl irs is quite an honor, indeed, especially to anew member. Dr. Patti n having served thro’ the late war, and being a man of military training, he is fitted for tho place, a d could not have been appointed to a place more suitable. Col. Patton has a good military record and his appointment to this committee is a meiitorious one. — Lo ansport Pharos.

The fourth annual statement of the Citizens’ St,, te Bank of Rensselaer shows an increase of businoss of $ LI,OOO over the previous year. The bank is under the supervision of the state and is examined four times a year by the state bank examiner, or off . ner, if desired. This makes it a perfectly safe bank in which to deposit money. Itwasorg nized Januarv 1, 1888, with » capital of SBO,OOO. At the a i ual meeting in December F. J. Sears wa ß elected pre* dent, V I. Seib cashier, and p, L Chdcote assistant cashier.

The President is soon to issue a proclamation putting what arc calle i re. taliatory duties on products < f those countries which refuse reciproc .1 trade wiib us. This means that what they sead us is to be taxed at the custom houses. If any one imagines that thi s going io punish the recalcitrant countries, he little understai ds the workings of a tariff. The persons who will be punished are t K e consumers in (his country of the articles in question. The tax will of course be paid here as are all tariff duties being added to ihe price of the imported article So the retaliating proclamation is mere brutum fulmen as far as other countries are t oncern d. It is like a boy trying to fri Men o hois with a fals face. Practically it is saying that if foreign countries refuse to adopt reciprocity treaties we will turn around and bite, oursei es. Such st tesmanship has never been equalled since the days of .lack in “ihe Tale of the Tub" who, when defe ted in argument, u ed to go out and hang himself for epite;—Lafayette Journal.

Just before returning to Washington after the holiday recess, a reporter of the Indumanolis Sentinel asked; “Whit do you think of the recent speech of Governor Hill at Albany?” *1 do not favor the course of action, or rather of non-action, outlined iu that speech,” said the senator “The democratic party ought not o abandon orpo tpone its efforts to relieve the people from the numberless mischiefs inflicted by the McKinley law merely because these efforts may be defeated by the senate or by a presidential veto. To expos and avenge the monstrous wrong and injustice done to the interests of the farm and of !a ; or by the tyrannical monopolies which controlled the laßt congress is one part of our duty; to show and to do something better than the evils we denounce is another just as binding. If our efforts for the r ght fail, the p< ople will reinforce them at the next ele'Don. “Laissez fairs—to let th ngs be as they re—is a p' rase which does not belong to the language of reform: rather to tl e dialect of react on, sloth and indifference. “Thee ought to be action. The detail of method may not be so materi >l, only if we are to have tariff reform by piecemeal I want the pieces to bo large in goodly number and the meal itse f to be a full one. “As so the plan of campaign, to which much of the Albany speech is devoted, it may be permitted to remark, with due defirsnoe to the justly distinguished and verv eminent and able senator, from New Yo k. that it seems not to be the most suitable subject for discussion upon ex tern d lines in ny way. “The bodv of the people, the genet a 1 public, are only concerned about t 1 e differences between parties, that they be clearly stated and set forth, both by word and deed, so tbht the voter may make his choice. Differences between members of the same party about the plan of enmnaign stand upon a footing and lower ground. I twve fnll confidence in the representatives of the people so recently chosen and so lately come together. We have a house comprising in its majority membership men as capable and as thoroughly versed in the trying questions of our time as ,nv who have at any period occupied seats in eifhei branch of congress. Onr efforts at reform and our struggle to relieve the country from the bi'lion burden of expenditure pnay not be successful bnt this will not be the fault of the bouse of representatives. ”
