Lord Salisbury a Busy Man.

Lord Salisbury Is a very busy man, and, although he is 08 years old, he 1% apparently, unaffected by the strain through which he is now passing.

“It looks as if the Demccra s of Jsspe county were going to desert Uncle Mac, of the Sentinel, in lavor of ttoe new dena ocraiie paper,etc.’’ —Rensselaer Journal. Not b word of truth in the abov*. We suppose th '* eouclusioua of the Journal are inspired by It be action of A. J. Preeland, trustee of N jwton township, and John <3. Koup* kee, trustee of Kankakee town, ship, in permitting t emselves to e overpersuaded into givirg their annual re orts to the Jasper County Demodrat? for publication... There is nothing in this a r ;t of these trustees to in licste that the “Democrats of Jasper county were going to desert Uncle Mac, of the Sentinel ” It was their individual get, prompted by a desire to affiliate with populism and a pop*, ulistic oigau- The Sentinel stands for every Democrat on the State districts and countv ticket?. What more can or should be asked of a Democrat. Ira W. Yeoman, Democratic candidate for prosecutor *of th : s judicial circuit, a number of years *go served very satisfactorily t > the people of Jasper county a term as Auditor. He has been for some time a resident of Remington, and the Pi ess says of him: “It is unnecessary for us lo say a word in commendation ot Mr. Yeoman, as there is scarcely a man in the three caunties that is not persona'ly acquainted with him. He is at present our efficient town clerk, and i. elected to the office of prosecutor, we have no doubt will administer the affaiis ot that office with strict justice to all.”

The Jasper County Democrat is the only straight democratic newspaper in the county.”—Democrat? My, oh my! How history does repeat itself. The Democrat’s predecessor, under the manage* ment of James & Sickels endeavored to impress the public with the same statement. It didn’t ims press worth a ‘pewterdam’—the democracy could not be buncoed bv any such claims. The paper took a vacation. James went to Hammond and became a w rker in the republican ranks; Sick .Is returned to Chicago, and as er swearing that he was only tempo rarily a resident of cast his vots for B. Harrison. The Remington Pressmnder the management of the Dresent editor of the Democrat? out ied the late “People’s Pilot” in its adyocacy of Populism. . „ “Straight Democrats” are constructed of better timber. Politi* cally, they are ‘straight’ in all that the worcLimplies, and have no use for po itical ‘utility men ’ Walter A , sod of J . P. Simons of the White County Democrat, aged about 16 and Roy P M son of Dr. M. T. Didlake, about the s me age, are members of Co. 1. 161st Ind ana. Dr. Didlake served many years with us on the White County Democratic Cen'ral Committee; Jim Simons was too young, but his father was a faithful,vigilant mem ber of the same committee. And now we have reached the stage where Boatswain N vis and one sailor go oui and capture three Spanish vessels and bring them ba k m triumph. If Spam does not get on a peace footing very quickly there is no telling what humiliation will come to her.
