JEPTHA D. NEW.

Second district, is a native Hoosier, bom in Jennings county, educated at Bethany college, was judge *fg the common pleas court and circuit ccrarfc for many years in his county, served on the supreme court eommission, has been in congress, and is now one of the appellate court judges. He was appointed by the late Governor Hovey, and was esteemed by the governot, though they differed politically. Third District.

JAMES M’CABE.

James McCabe, condidate for judge of the supreme court, Third district, was raised on a farm in Indiana, engaged several years thereafter as a common laborer, until his earnings in that way enabled him to go to school, and acquire a common school education. He afterward taught school a year or two, married young, and afterward studied law without any preceptor and was admitted to the bar.- He has been successful in his practice and has aceummulated thereby enough of this world’s goods so that it may be said he is in easy circumstances. His raising and tastes naturally incline him to the farm. So, after over twenty years’ active practice and residence in Williamsport, the county seat, in 1884 ' i purchased and moved to a farm, where He now lives, within two and a half miles of the court house, and carries on his farm. He is now fifty-five years old.

He.walks every morniug two and onehalf miles to his office in preference to riding.

Mr. McCabe was twice the nominee of his party for congress, and both times made speeches in every township in the district.

TIMOTHY E. HOWARD.

Timothy E. Howard, candidate for judge of the supreme court, Fifth district, was born or a farm near Ann Arbor, Jan. 27, 1837. He was educated in the common schools and University of Michigan. He lived on a farm and taught common schools until twenty-one years of age. In 1859 he removed to South Bend, studied law and was engaged as professor of rhetoric and English literature in the University of Notre Dame. He enlisted in the Twelfth Michigan infantry soon after the outbreak of the war. He was severely wounded at Shiloh April 6, 1862, and lay for two months in the Marine hospital at Evansville, where he was discharged as unfit for further service. In 1878 he whs elected a member of the common council at South Bend; was re-elected and served three terms. In 1878 he was elected clerk of the St. Joseph circuit court. In ISB6 he was elected to the state senate from St. Joseph and Stark counties, and was re-elected in 1890. s He is the author of the Momence bill for the drainage of the Kankakee valley and was chairman of the senate committee in charge of the school text-book law. He secured the extension of the new election law to township and city elections and drafted the new revenue law. He also introduced the bill for the establishment of the appellate court. He had charge in the senate of Indianapolis’s city charter, also of the suburban street raiiway bill. He is at present city attorney of South Bend and county attorney of St. Joseph county.

Mixed on Silver Issue.

An object lesson on the division in the two great parties on the question of free silver, was furnished in the convention of three states on Wednesday. The Republicans claim that their party is dppoßed to free silver coinage, yet the Republican convention in California indorsed it. The Democrats are charged with being in favor of the free silver heresy, yet the conventions of the party in the states of Michigan and Wisconsin repudiated the doctrine. It seems ' that parties are somewhat mixed on the silver issue.—New Albany Ledger.

TIE STATE DEBT.

It Was Created and Fostered by the Republican Party. The School Fund Sequestered by the “War Governor.” Large Increase ol the State Debt Caused by the Erection of Public Buildings. The Refunding Act of a Democratic Legislature Reduces the Interest Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars. The Democratic party did not create the state debt. The official records in the state house will verify this statement. Take the three per cent, school fund refunding bonds for example. This debt, amounting to nearly $4,000,000, was created by Governor Morton. Without legislative authority the “war governor” laid his hand in the school fund to meet the obligations of a reckless Republican administration.

This school fund, amounting to $3,904,783.22, represented the proceeds of a certain percentage of the earnings of the old state bank, set apart for a permanent school fund. Morton having “borrowed” this fund, bonds were issued by subsequent legislatures bearing 6 per cent, interest payable semi-annu-ally. These bonds were held in trust by the state treasurer for the school fund. They were known as school fund bonds, and dated as follows: No. 1, Jan. 1, 1807 * 709,024 86 No. 2, Jan. 20, 1867 2,658,057 30 No. 3, May 1, 1868 181,234 00 No. 4, Jan. 20, 1871 174,770 00 No. 5, May 5, 1873 175,767 07 The interest amounted to $234,286.99 annually. The Democratic legislature of 1889 authorized the refunding of this debt at 8 per cent. In the debt statement of the auditor’s report for 1888, the bonded debt is placed under the head of “domestic debt,” and described as “school fund bonds No. 1, No. 2, etc.” With last auditor’s report (1891, p. 43,) it will be found under the title of “foreign debt,” and classed as three per cent, refunding school fund bonds dated June 18, 1889, and payable at the pleasure of the state June 8, 1889, due June 18, 1909.” The bonds sold at a premium, and with the proceeds the state redeemed five school bonds. The money was then distributed among the? counties and loaned out by the county auditors in sums of not exceeding $2,000 at 6 per cent, interest. This Democratic financiering saved the state $117,267.16 annually in interest, and at the same time placed in circulation within the state nearly $4,000,000. While the Democratic party is entitled to the credit of refunding this debt, the Republican party is responsible for its creation. The total amount of interest actually paid on this Republican debt by thp state since its creation until refunded was $4,685,740. Since it was refuwled the state has paid in interest $431,801.42, making a total of $5,117,-5-11.42 which the state paid in interest on the Morton .debt. In order to meet this interest often temporary loans had to be made. Had it not been for, this annual drain of $234,286.99 the state would have managed to pull through without resorting to loans. Adding the mopev actually paid out on account of this debt to the principal we have $9,022,324.64.

For this debt the Republicans can not point to a single public building. When Porter became governor the debt was $4,870,608.45. It was $4,850,850.37, with a deficit of $200,000, when Governor Baker turned over the executive office to Governor Hendricks. When Porter retired the debt was $6,008,500.34. In 1885 an additional burden was placed upon the state without providing means for the raising additional revenues. Three additional hospitals for tha insane were authorized to be erected. Six millions of dollars were appropriated.

Governor Porter appointed a commission, of which he was the head, to construct and equip the new buildings. All the work was planned and contracted under Governor Porter’s administration, but it was under Governor Gray’s administration that the money had to be paid. The cost of construction and equipment was $1,418,591.39. Since these institutions were opened up to Oct. 30, 1890, the cost of maintenance was $503,729.79, making a total of $1,955,883.18, and which the state had to borrow. Then the legislature of 1887, with a Democratic senate and Republican house, authorized the erection of the Soldiers’ monument and the Feeble Minded school at Fort Wayne. The monument has already cost $109,219, and an additional tax of one-half cent on

the SIOO valuation has been levied to raise enough money to complete it The Feeble Minded school has already cost the state over $400,000. Up to 1887 a slate house tax levy of two cents was levied each year. The failure to renew the tax made it necessary to borrow $700,000 to complete and equip the state house. State Debt.

THE VOICE OF THE PRESS

Any man of common sense knows that tile duty of forty-nine and one-half cents a pound and 60 per cent of value levied on woolen clothing by the abominable McKinley tariff mnst enhance its cost Our merchant tailors admit that when a'returning tourist brings home a suit o t clothing without paying duty he “saves more than one-half of its actual value.” Poor people, and even people in moderate circumstances —the great mass of Americans—can not go abroad for their elothing. And they are compelled by the McKinley act either to wear shoddy or to pay 50 per cent, more than its value for honest wool clothing. This is only one of a thousand wrongs and swindles which the Democratic party is bound to correct.—Shelbyville Democrat. , Yes. your taxes are higher in spite of the increased appraisement of property. Under an economical and honest administration of our county, township and municipal governments, the amount of tax to be raised would be the same whether property were valued higher or lower. If appraised lower the rate should be higher, if appraised higher tfae rate should be lower. Do you see’? The appraised valuation of property in Wayne county was increased over the former valuation $2,420,000. To raise the same amount of taxes as heretofore would permit a much lower tax rate. On &e contrary our tax rate has been increased, just the opposite of what should have been. Do you see?— Richmond Sun.

The Republicans of Indiana are in a pickle over the head of their state ticket. They recognize the fact that the Democrats have nominated one of the strongest men in the state. They now realize that Parson Chase has a strong grip on the nomination. If successful, they are aware that it will cost many votes in certain localities and with certain elements of their party. The preacher in politics is considered and is, in fact, out of place. On the other hand, if they push him aside, they will lose strength in certain quarters. The leaders are in a quandary, and well they may be. They are in an embarrassing situation. Not to put too fine a point on it, they are in a hole.—New Albany Ledger.

Democrats who wish-tosee their party successful can do nothing, better to advance that end than to at once look about them and see where there is a mail who does not take a newspaper. When they find such a man they should never Jet up until they induce him to subscribe for some good, reliable, and well conducted Democratic paper. A local paper is best calculated to interest such a non-reader because it speaks of many things that will command his confidence, and if it is well conducted politically, it will surely have a favorable influence on him in time. There is no better way to advance the interests of the party.—Greensburg New Era.

The tax duplicate of Adams county for the year 1891 amounts to $138,423.46, while for the year past it amounted to $109,818.48, making a difference of $28,604.98, showing the increase in valuation in property or the listing of property that had been withheld from the assessors. While the main part of the excess ovdr last year came from the corporations, such as the railroads and telegraph companies. The railroad companies pay $6,624.18 more than they did hist year, while the telegraph companies pay $11.50 more than last year.—Decatur Dem ocrat.

The new election law requires voters leaving the state to be absent a few months to' register at the county clerk’s office. If they fail to do this they loose their votes. Republicans are registering right along. Democrats are not. Young men going away to work for the summer must register before leaving or they will loose their votes. We have a number now gone who should return and register. Democrats everywhere should see that all who intend going away register. It is the duty of committeemen especially to give this matter careful attention.—Bloomfield Democrat.

When the Democratic legislature, a year ago, passed the new tax law the Republican papers all over the state, following the lead of the Indianapolis Journal, said that the law was passed in the interest of rich corporations, and against the farmers especially. This hue and cry has been kept up ever since, until the “rich corporations” brought suit to test the constitutionality of a law ■which was said to benefit them, made these papers appear too ridiculous.— Columbus Herald.

The people have had a taste of free sugar. They like it. They hate the r obber tariff tax and will never again suffer it to be placed on sngar. It is the same with all the necessaries of life. The tariff should be removed from every sueh article. Especially should it be taken off of wool, binder twine, lumber, salt, coal and iron. The people are rapidly becoming educated to its monstrous wrongs. The high tariff taxes will have to go.—Anderson Democrat. In 1890 there was $13,613.62 in taxes paid on railroad property. In 1891 it was increased to $34,418.51, making a total increase on railroads alone of *2£L-

“A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

884.83, whii his d> juu mole uiun Uie entire increase on the state tax. Then too we have the fee and salary law another infamous Democratic measure—which will save to this county about $10,009 a year, which formerly went into the officials’ pockets.— Winchester Democrat. The railroads and other corporations that resisted the collection of tax under the new law have received a black eye from the supreme court. The railroads relied upon the fact that they had not received notice. The court held that the law itsseif is sufficient notice. The tax dodgers can not escape.—Washington Democrat. One of the amusing things witnessed in some parts of the country is the agitation of the fanner’s interests by men who never ran a furrow or planted a crop and who have no practical experience in farming. We could paint out many such persons, but the good common sense of the people in general recognize the ridiculous light in which such agitators place themselves, and render an exposure unnecessary.—Frank-, ling Democrat.

It is just as respectable to work in a factory as to work in a dry goods shop, and a woman who earns an honest living in either place is immeasurably more worthy of respect than one who needs to earn a living, but prefers to remain dependent rather than risk forfeiture of her rig ht to be “classed with ladies.”—Connersville Examiner. As to the Democratic tax law of which Republican sheets' are now saying so much, we promise to discuss this question exhaustively before the November election. We shall not in such discussion deny that it is a Democratic law framed by a Democratic legislature.— Lake County News. Last year the railroads in Delaware county paid taxes to the amount of $10,476.31. Tljie year under the new law, these same roads will pay $23,326.87, or $12,850.56 more than last year, and yet Republican papers say the law is in the interests of corporations.— Muncie Herald. If high tariffs make high wages, why are wages not higher in protected France and Germany than they are in free trade England ?' England pays higher wages than either France or Germany. Why is this? Will some protection organ be kind enough to explain ?—Morgan County Gazette. Parson Chase has ordered out the state bloodhounds to trail a fugitive in Jackson county. The fact that Parson Chase is governor of Indiana instead of Alabama alone saves the Republican press from going into hysterics over “another southern outrage.”—Kokomo Dispatch.

Ex-soldiers p,re not required to work a poll tax on the roads. The law was passed by the last legislature. Republican editors, however, insist that Demcrats are unfriendly to the soldiers. — Auburn Courier. While the railroad monopolies are fighting the tax law, assisted by the Republican press, the farmers are quietly waiting a time to knock out the boodlers again.—Crawford County Democrat. Republics should not be paternal, for paternalism is favoritism, and favoritism breeds corruption.—New Castle Democrat. Protection and “free Trade.** Writing on the relative conditions of workingmen in Paris and London, the Paris correspondent of The St. James Gazette says that the’ former are far worse off than the latter. Not only are their wages less than those of the workmen in the English metropolis, the cost of living in Paris is algo nearly one-third more than it is in London. AH the necessaries of life, as bread, wine, sugar, etc., are heavily taxed. The correspondent rebukes those political economists who, taking for their text the latest statistics showing the falling off of,the French population, have of late years been preaching to the workingmen upon their lack of patriotism in not having larger families. He says the truth is that in Paris an ordinary working couple can not bring up even two ordinary children unless the woman has some regular occupation as well as the man, and he concludes with the observation that, considering all the difficulties the working people of Paris have to contend with, the wonder is that they accept their fate with such good temper and generally show such a philosophical spirit in trying to make the best of it.

The last day of March ended the first year of free raw sugar under the McKinley act. During that period the importation of sugar not above No. 16 Dutch standard, as compared with that of the twelve months preceding, was as follows: Pounds, 1892. Pounds, 1891. Beet 614,775,181 565,056,860 Cane 3,235,080,334 2,206,807,602 Above No. 16... 16,094,195 Hawaiian....... 333,630,332 Total 3,865,949,710 3,105,494, jg 4 This shows an increase of 760,454,916 pounds, or 24 1-2 per cenfc in the importation of sngar during the first year after raw sugar from all countries as well as from the Hawaiian islands began to come in free of tax. Consumption of 6ugar increased in slightly greater ratio, as the domestic product marketed was much greater during the free period. During the last calendar year the consumption per capita was 69.4 pounds, against 56.5 pounds in 1890, an increase of over 23 per cent. The removal of the tax reduced the price of sugar to at least the extent of the tax. These facts demonstrate conclusively that the tariff is a tax on consumers; that it involves privation, and that free trade mean# abundance. Even more remarkable results would follow the passage of the free wool bill. The comfort of the people would be greatly promoted, and they would not rest until dSe last vestige of the privation system was swept away. That is why'the proteges resist the passage of the free wool bill.— Chicago Herald. /.
