In a recent interview at Logans.port, in speaking of the approaching special sessiop of congress, Senator Turpie said that he anticipated heated discussions on the silver question, and that the called session would not perhaps adjourn before the convening of the regular session m December He stated that from many sources requests came to him for an expression of opinion on the silver question, but that he had uniformly refused to express his views for publication. His vote and voice will be used to further such policy as shall, in his judgment, give promise of mos* good for the country. He thinks a tariff bib that will meet the approval of the dems oratio majority in congress will be submitted at the special session, but thit it will not be pressed for passage at onoe.

It is useless for republicans to try to escape responsibility for the Sherman law. When Mr Conger ot lowa reported the bill from the tonterenoe ot. July 12, 1890, he stamped its partisan character on it so effectivel that it can never be removed. “Tuis measure," he said, “will be given to the country, 1 am happy to say, by republicans. It was agreed upon in conference by republicans only. It was passed in yonder chamb-i • only by republican votes, and I suspeot that it may pass here only by republican votes. It will then go where it will be signed by a republican president, and from there it will go to a country which, in November next, will give such a republican indorsement that many of you gentlemen will not be found h re to pass upon the next silver measure that may come before congress. It is, Mr. Speaker, in line with republican judgment and republican policy.”

A silver dollar is worth 100 cents in any kind of money so long as the United States government exists. A reader of the Argus says we made a mistake when we said a soldier’s widow who had married again has been drawing a pension in this county for some twenty years since, her second marriage. He says he is familiar with the case and she drew the peusion for awhile and then died, whereupon her big, lazy, husband, who was never in the army commenced drawing the pension on the ground that he wanted it and she was his only means of support.—Laporte Argus. An exchange gives this timely and excellent advice- “People who have good investments should hold on to them. Those wlic have surplus tuuds should, instead of locking them up, invest them. This is the way to make money, and it is a perfectly safe wav. We are living in a great country. The foundations are broad and strong, and tnose who suspect that it is going to destruction deserve to be num» bered with the most silly class ot foO»8.”

Persons who use either gasoline or oil stoves through the summer should consult their fire insurance policies, and if no permit to use such is attached to the polic/ one should be secured. A moment of attention to this may prevent the loss of insurance. “Do I make myself plain? ' asked the 'angular looturer on woman’s rights, stopping in the middle of her discourse, “100 don’t havefto mom,* replied a voice from the rear: ‘the Lord done it for yon long ago.*—Vogue.
