THE Democrat thinks the city has expended considerable money in the last few years. The laborers who did the work are not sorry and the people who have the improvements do not want them taken away. So what motive has the kicker.

HANCOCK county is unquestionably for McKinley and believes that the State convention should instruct for him. Such being the case a large number of the Republican workers of this city and county should attend the State convention and show delegates from ottwr parts of the state and others the feeling in this county. McKinley is the logical candidate and the choice of 90 per cent, of our people.

THE dairy interests is one of the greatest in this country and we trust the farmers of Hancock county wiil arouse themselves on this subject. They can enrich both their farms and bank accounts by turning their attention to dairy interests. During a debate in congress recently the statement was made that the dairy interest ranks higher than any one interest known to commerce and that it directly affects over 9,000,000 men living on American farms, and involves a money business of over $800,000,000 a year. We have in our city a creamery owned and operated by one of the most successful farmers and dairymen in the state. He has excellent business capacity and can dispose of the products of the creamery at 'prices that will enable him to pay farmers more for their milk than they are now realizing. Farmers, see Messrs. Comstock & Son and have a talk with them. By devoting great attention to the dairy interests Hancock county can soon be made one of the most prosperous counties in the state.

THE REPUBLICAN is glad to learn that the editor of the'Tribune reads its columns so closely and are sorry to have disappointed him in not sooner publishing a few facts and figures in regard to municipal lighting. Tlie gentleman however that was to have sent us the figures in a duy or two has not done so yet, although we have written him urging a prompt response. We have, however, a few figures from the Oawfordaville Journal which may furnish the Tribune editor food for thought for a day or two or until we hear from our friend as to the facts and figures first promised.

The question for city lighting is a subject for never ending discussion. Ft. Wayne pays $120 a year, Terre Haute $64, 2Tew Albany $75, South Bend $70, Richmond $90, Evansville $95, Lafayette $66, Lebanon $90, and Frankfort $90. In tt!l these cities the light is furnished by priv.-te companies. Crawfordsville owns it' own trunicipal plant, and counting all ,eu .is including the iuterest on the cost to the city for each li0 !£45. None of the cities named above are well lighted as Crawfordsville. With a population of about 8,000 i* h^s lights. This gives one to every slret cropping in the city. Under the ordinary sya of lighting the central part of the city is generally well supplied while the outskirts are compelled to grope in darkness. No such complaints are now beard. The system of municipal ownership is in all respects satisfactory, both as to cost and service." Crawfordsville Journal.

Thst is the testimony from a city that has been doing its own electric lighting for six or seven years, or long enough to thoroughly test it. The Tribune need not worry about the REPUBLICAN'S position about municipal ownership. It was the pioneer on that question in this city. The REPUBLICAN favored a municipal ownership of the water works system when the Herald end Democrat were either as dumb as an oyster oh' the Wtti

jector favored a private eorporation frani- diauapdlin. and Marsh & Cook were f| ehiee. Such an array of facts and figures th* defense.

hovreyer,|*ere CAN favoring pi public •ineed on that liqia^ ^A» a resnlt, Greenfield now owns ai^. operates her Own war ter works system and win own an electrlb light plant too when the time comes and the city has the money or i3 in a position to purchase a plant. The facts and arguments were s© strongly in favor of municipal ownership that no one has ever attempted to answer them.

The position of the REPUBLICAN as to municipal ownership is so thoroughly understood that we do not need to be reiter ating it,every few days so that the public may know where we stand. The Tribttne was afraid the REPUBLICAN had been "coerced" on the municipal question. Bleed your soul no. No one ever spoke to us on this subject, let alone trying to coerce us. The Tribune editors mind is filled with that idea so often that for his benefit we quote "Evil be to him who evil thinks.'' and "out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh."

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

A Large and Enthusiastic Gutheiing at the M. E. Church. The Hancock County Sunday School Union met in annual session at the First M. E. Church in Greenfield Friday, May 1, 1896, The house was called to order by the efficient president, L. A Wells, at 9:30 a. m. There being present from the different townships sixty delegates, all the townships being represented except two, Vernon and Brown.

There was a great deal of enthusiasm manifested during ihe entire day, which we trust will be carried into the individual schools and an effort made to execute the work there planned with a zeal that characterizes the heart filled with love for humanity and the salvation of souls.

The program was carried out in full, every one on duty being present and wil ling to respond to the duty assigned them.

The house to house canvass by Rev. W. M. Gard and the home class department by Miss Emma Parnell, were the subjects especially dwelt on, showing the great need of work being done in the county.

Rev. Harter, of Philadelphia, gave an interesting response to the opening address.

Quite an interesting Normal Bible lesson was given by Clarkson Parker of Carthage. "Bait your hook" by Miss Nannie Binford, of Maxwell, was deserving of praise. "The office of teacher, its dignity and reward" by Miss Yania Gates, was very interesting.

As a whole, the convention was one of the be3t ever held in the county and we hope they may continue to grow in interest. At the close of the afternoon session the following officers were elected for the ensuing yenr.

President, Rev. L. A. Wells Vice President, Alfred Rottman Secretary, Mrs. R. A. Archey Assistant Secretary, Miss Alice Meek Treasurer, Miss Ida Badger Superintendent Home Class Department, Mi3S Emma Parnell.

In the evening a very interesting address was Tgiven by Charles D. Meigs, State Superintendent, of Indianapolis, on "How to reach the masses."
