IF you desire to reduce city taxes vote the Republican ticket Tuesday next.
KOKOMO is reported to have had fifteen business failures this year. Kokomo is the great boom town.
VOTE the Republican ticket- next, Tuesday, The ticket is composed of good men through and through.
As RAPIDLY as money can be seeurd many Oklahoma boomers will return to their native heath and their old stomping grounds.
REPORTS from over the State show that the outlook for wheat is line. Hancock county has an A. No. 1 prospect for good crops this year.
SAM JONES, the famous Georgia Evangelist lectured at Anderson, Wednesday night. His subject was "Get There." Anderson is doing her level best and is a success in getting there.
PENSION COMMISSIONER TANNER is quite liberal in his interpretation of pension laws and is proving to be immensely popular •with the old soldiers.
THE long struggle is over and Frank W. Palmer, ex-postmaster of Chicago, hns been appointed Public Printer. Mr. Palmer is a native of New York and a practical printer and book-binder.
THE REPUBLICAN'S subscription list is growing every day. It pays to make a good newspaper. Persons not already subscribers can sec our agents or call at the REPUBLICAN office where they will be heartily welcomed.
THE laws passed at the last legislature are printed and will be in the hands of the people by the middle of this month when they will take effect, always and of course pioviding they have not been declared unconstitutional by that time.
GEN. CLINTON B. FISKE, the candidate of the Prohibitionists, at the late election, for President, has returned to his first love, the G. O. R. P. He did not care to be an aidar and abetter of the Democratic party any» longer. There are many who are following the example of Gen. Fiske. It is one to be commended.
,. THE Weldon bill passed by the Canadian ^Parliament recently will hereafter cause all criminals from the United States to be
Surrendered on demand when caught. It, however, does not include those already there. Sullivan, Moore etal are still safe. In the future criminals will probably direct their steps toward Mexico or Central America, but treaties will soon be negotiated which will head them off there. The safest plan is to be honest, industrious, stay at home and be happy.
MAYOR HERROK has occupied THE Moor's office two terms and should be defeated. We are opposed to third termers.
As a pitcher Mr. J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa, is in the lead. He is pitching Democratic postmasters out at the rate of 200 a day.
Lucius B. SWIFT, of Indianapolis, will probably be appointed a member of the Civil Service Commission. It would be a thoroughly good appointment.
3\.'ANY Democrats have been heard to remark, "What a splendid ticket the Republicans have nominated." They are correct, and it is a sure winner.
WHAT is the record of the present city officials in the way of suppressing gambling and the illegal sale of whiskey? It is bad, very bad.
'SUBSTANTIAL YISITOHS" have been a little scarce during the past two weeks. The REPUBLICAN extends a cordial welcome to all such. Come on friends.
WHAT have the Democratic city officials to show as tlia result of the city's present bigli rate of taxation? Nothing. They have proved bad business managers and should be relegated to the rear.
TIIE power is with the people and they now have the opportunity of securing a faithful and efficient set of public officials by voting the Republican ticket next Tuesday.
ELECT John Milroy marshal. We want and need a man who is not afraid to quell a disturbance or to arrest all disturbers of the peace.
BEN PORTER will soon go into business as a special detective, as he announced that to be his purpose if he was beaten for marshal and as to that there is no doubt.
THE Republicans ie ~i. en 'id ticket Tuesday night. They could not help it. They had no other kind or material presented.
IN the criminal libel suit of Edgar C. Wilson, of the Noblesville Journal,against Bush & Walker,of the Noblesville Ledger, judgment was rendered in favor of the defendants.
THE result of Tuesday night's convention gave excellent satisfaction. The defeated candidates, wrhile desiring a different resnlt in their own special case, feel that good men were chosen and cheerfully acquiescing to the will of the majority they are doing their level best for their successful competitors.
The REPUBLICAN l»as received two or three complaints recently, from subscribers that this paper did not reach them egularly. We send the paper out every Friday, promptly, and live in hopes that the mail service will soon be such that every one will receive their paper regularly.
SOME of the Democratic papers, notably the New York World, are booming Grover Cleveland as the Democratic nominee for 1892. They are a little previous. He is advised to go iu strong against the use of moneyin politics,iu favor of reform such as ballot,civil service,tariff,etc.,but Reform, Reform is the cry. Mr. Cleveland had a chance at all these reforms and made a miserable failure notwithstanding his hypocritical professions and he might have some trouble in explaining his .$10,000 check.
SOME of the exchanges over the State report a little grumbling in their locality because the offices are not filled with Republicans more rapidly. They do not seem to consider the fact that filling the offices too rapidly and with incompetent men is the rock upon which the Democratic party split. Let our Republican friends possess their souls in patience. The Republican party at large is well pleased with the business-like methods of the present administration. So far its appointments have been selected carefully and on account of personal qualifications and made from men who are thoroughly competent and with clean records. Such men will conduct their offices efficiently and satisfactorily, and will prove that the Republican party should remain iu power because of this very efficient administration of public duties. The President may continue to go slow without incurring the ill will of any large percentage of the American people who, above all things, desire thorough and competent men in office.
SUNDAY as a day of rest is gaining a stronger foothold in this country every year. For some years past the foreign element, which had come to this country, did much to do away with the proper observance of Sunday as they claimed it as a day for recreation and enjoyment The large railroads have recently done all that can be done in the way of abolishing both passenger and freight business on Sunday.
The Michigan Central Railroad will hereafter stop all freight trains except those carrying perishable goods or live stock at p. m. Saturday night and business will not be resumed until 6 a. m. Monday.
Mr. Yanderbilt, Mr. Depew and all the officials of the Yanderbilt system are in favor of Sunday as a day of rest.
The Iron Mountain Railway of Missouri on May 1st issued orders that hereafter there would be no Sunday business except that absolutely necessary.
The Pennsylvania lines will also do as little business as possible on Sunday, ,4j The best elements are coming rapidly to the front in this country and America is already far in advance of all other countries in this respect.

COL. W. T. DURHIN, of Anderson, has been the recipient of many congratulations since his return from Washington upon the uniform success that crowned his efforts in securing appointments for Republicans in this district. Mr. Durbin desired no office for himself and v.' is only desirous that men should recei'- .•appointments who were thoroughly ir*petent and who would promote hc be-t interests of the Republican psir.y.
WRITE TO THE Sl'KGKON GEMiKAL. War veterans who are entitled to compensation for the loss of the use of their limbs by disease or injury are now filing their claims in vnet. numbers. It i-Aated at the office of the surgeon general frie army that a considerable percentage of the money which Congress intended for those disabled soldiers is unnecessarily wasted in attorney's fees. Notice is given that all such claims can be settled by a. letter to the surgeon general of the army without incurring any expense to the claiment.
THE COUNTY SIPK1U
VI'liNDENCY.
There are three candidates for the position of County Superintendent which will be filled iu June by the Trustees. They are Quitman Jackson, of Greenfield, Wm. Woods, of Brandywine township, and Joshua Barrett, of Green township. We understand that the trustees do not desire to elect any of the candidates who have applied. Some are urging that Mr. Glascock accept the office for another term but he declines. He has his eyes on bigger game. There is certainly a man in the county who is competent to act as superintendent and that man should be elected regardless of minor considerations. The interests of the 5,809 school children of this county demand that a thoroughly competent man should be placed at the head of the county school system. Do not sacrifice both the present and the future wellfare of this large number of children in order to gratify the ambitions or demands of any man or set of men. The welfare of the children is above any one man or party. Elect the best man in the county. The trustees were in session Wednesday with Superintendent Glascock and made the above report. They also considered the schoolbook question and decided to postpone the consideration of that until September when the new law would be in operation. One of the most pleasing features of the meeting was the dinner given by Mr. Glascock to the trustees. They all reported a fine dinner and a good time. The trustees are as follows: Blueriver, Win. Toms Braudywine, Andrew Williamson Brown, B. F. Reeves Buckcreek, Andrew Fink Center, John L. Fry Green, Chas. H. Troy Jackson, J. H. McKown: Sugarcreek, Albert Helms Vernon, Jas. P. McCord.
Art Exhibit at Iiirtiaimpolis. The annual exhibit of the Art Association is now in progress at Masonic Hall, Indianapolis. The collection is large and consists of the best paintings of the best artists. The landscapes are in fine variety, showing scenes in forests, on mountains, by rivers and seas, and on plains and prairies, and the pictures of flowers and fruits, birds, animals, city streets, and so on, are interesting and good. The marine views are by first rate hands. One of the most interesting is a large painting by Tyler, who now stands at the head of marine painters in America. It represents an ocean steamer breasting the h^avy waves of the Atlantic in mid-winter/ end

The towing steamship is in good trim but her hull is loaded with huge icicl .s. Night is coming on, and the gray clouds are tinged with reflections of sunset red, while the same tint touches the foaming crests of the big waves. Bolton Jones and Burr Nichols, who are considered the leaders of American painters in their line, display several paintings. Every day tea is served free and very elegantly by the ladies of the Art Association to visitors at the exhibit.
A BOAKL) OF PENSION KXAMINEUS FOR GREENFIELD ANI HANCOOK COUNTY. x.u.ot Saturday Dr. Wiv^n T{,. icing, Philadelphia, and Drs. James A. Comstock and C. K. Bruner, of this place, were appointed a Board of Pension Examiners by Commissioner of Pensions Tanner. It will thus be seen that the administration makes it convenient for the soldiers of the county to have their claims investigated. The board appointed is a good one in every particular. They are all competent and reputable physicians. Drs. King and Comstock are both wounded soldiers and receiving pensions. Dr. Bruner is the sou of a soldier who died from the effect of wounds received in the army. Thus it will be seen that they are in sympathy with the soldiers and will give them their just rights aud dues iu every particular. The early appointment of this Board is due to the efforts of R. A. Black, of this place, and Col. W. T. Durbiu, of Anderson.

g, not get well of itself. It belli ri£, requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, aud by thus Sink overcoming the- local symptoms removes the sympa- rleadaCllO thetic effects of the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind.

after eating I would expe
rience a faintness, or tired, ali-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trouble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a Sour room with fresh paint. Lajt spring I took Hood's Sarsa- StOITIclCH rilla—took three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced." GEORGE A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass.
