THERE were some Democratic editors of newspapers recently whose sense of honor and patriotism was so small that they sided with England and Chi\i in the recent dispute against the United States. Shame on such Americans. Have they no love of home, love of country or patriotic instincts, if not, why not go to some other country or perhaps voluntarily try Philip Nolans punishment and be literally "man without a country."

WHEN ever you read the biography or hear a man spoken of, who has been eminently successful in life you always learn that that he was an untiring and continuous worker. To achieve success in business or any department of life re* quires work, hard work. This is a working world and the nobility of life is work. The lazy and idle man are simply clogs and stumbling blocks. i)uty is the great thing of life and there can be no greater reward than the conscientious of duty or work well done.

Every once in awhile we hear of some one giving the REPUBLICAN its management, or its policy hail Columbia. When ever you hear a man doing this about nine cases out of ten he owes the paper and is ashamed of himself. There is no use in getting mad at the REPUBLICAN as we wish every man, woman, aud child in Hancock county success and prosperity and are continually striving to aid all in the battle ef life. If we are able to arouse the slumbering ambition of some and spur them on to increased more vigorous and continuous efforts for success we will feel amply rewarded. If you do not like some things alout the paper come aud tell us and talk the matter over. Do not run around and abuse the paper that is small business.

DEMOCRATS are wont to cry out about the "Billion Dollar Congress" and the extravagance of the Republicans but when you hear that issue raised ask the complaining Democrats to name a single appropriation that should not have been made. So far not one single appropriation has been pointed out as wrong. The majority of men who are complaining of the "Billion Dollar Congress" do not know what they are talking about. When you ask them what the appropriations are for they are stumped. They do not know. Lots of men who are laboring with their jaws for the instruction of their fellow men haye but few facts but plenty of assurance. A few questions as to facts exposes their ignorance and puts a quietus on their "bloviating."

THE State Central Committee met at Indianapolis last Thursday and completed their organization for this year. The meeting was very large and enthusiastic and indicated that Republicanism throughout the State was up to high water mark and ready for the great presidential contest this year. Officers were selected as follows:

Chairman—John K. Gowdy, Rushville. Vice-Chairman—C. O. Shirley, Kokomo. Secretary—Frank Millikan, New Castle. Treasurer—Horace McKay, Indianapolis.

The next thing in order was appointing the time for holding the several conventions.

March 3 was designated as the day for holding district convention's for the selection'of delegates to the national convention at Minneapolis. March 10 was fixed for the state convention for the selection of four delegates at large to the same convention, and June 28 as the date of the regular republican state convention.

The basis of representation was finally fixed, one delegate for every 200 votes cast for the republican candidate for secretary of state in 1890 for the March 10 convention, and one delegate for every 150 votes to the regular state convention for the selection of state officers. Ft. Wayne was selected as the place to hold the Republican Convention to nominate state officers. This is not a popular selection as it is too far from the center.

TIIB political situation as to presidential candidates at this time is somewhat uncertain. With the Republicans the candidate most probable is Harrison or Blaine. There are an immense number of Republicans, probably a majority who would like to see Blaine the candidate but the probabilities are against his being the candidate. He went through the campaign once and knows full well the arduous labors and malicious slanders with which a candidate is beset. His health also is such that it might interfere and again he has a magnificent position as Secretary of State which he would no doubt retain in case Mr. HarrfAon is re-

respect,

icen With"1 city cias%_ States are w! the relations United States hif many concession and advantS^s"ana now ranks higher than ever before. The policy of the administration on the mo^ey question, on the tariff issue and all other issues of general interest have been correct and are so indorsed by the people. The President is now recognized as one of the ablest men that the Nation has ever produced as his administration shows in every respect. Again he was successful in 1888 and with such an administration backing him the chances are much more largely in his favor this year. The same causes that will bring about his re-nomination by the Republican party will also result in his re-election by the people. The Democrats of course will have a candidate and the two most prominently mentioned are Cleveland and Hill. Mr. Cleveland however while popular with the Democratic masses does not stand in with the politicians and has absolutely no chance whatever in his own State, New York. David Bennett Hill is the New York and Tammany candidate. He is absolutely the master of the Democratic party in New York. This makes him prominent although the great mass of the party prefer Cleveland. These two are now courting Miss Dem ocracy very persistently and it is hard to tell who will win. Judge in a cartoon puts their wooing thus: ...

and the reciproustries of the United ly prosperous. In kign countries the

Monte banksHill says, "Come live with me and be my bride I'll deck the well with spoils my pride, For ofica is my private trust,

Close to my side, my darling come! Free Trade, Free Silver, and Free Rum, We'll bare a free corruption bu'st.

The Saint Cleveland sings, "Repent in time, fickle one! Look, O, look upon my purity and greatness,

And return to your former worship, Of E. and Free Trade."

IT is announced that the editor of the Wine and Spirit Bulletin has bought a tract of about fifty acres of land in the suburbs of Louisville, Ky., to be converted into a select mansion and villa district. It is also stated that ten of Kentucky's leading distillers and wealthy liquor dealers have joined the enterprise, and have purchased lots with a view to building. What is specially significant about the transaction is the fact, as is stated, that the title-deeds for the estate contain a proviso prohibiting the erection of places for the sale of liquor.—Exchange.

The above fact is powerfull argument against the liquor business by the very men who are engaged in it as settled business. They know that rum shops hinder the growth if they do not absolutely ruin a community. While said distillers thrive on the gains drawn from the pockets of appetite bound patrons they do not propose to expose their families or tenants to the corrupting influence of the saloon. A better temperance lecture than this from Kentucky, where whisky making, whisky selling, and whisky drinking has not been so strongly condemned as in many other states could hardly be circulated. Every body can understand it and why will not the men who drink put the brakes on,before it is everlastingly too late Whisky, robs a man of money, health, friends, relatives, morality, honor, and in fact every thing that is pure, noble, and elevating.

SENATOR Hill of New York was indeed a prominent man last month. He had just completed the steal of New York and was magnified into a wonderful man by his New York admirers and seemed a man of portentous size. Now as a Senator he is at Washington and being looked at by the country at large and oh how he has dwindled. There may have been a good deal of him for New York, but he grows monstrous thin when his friends undertakes to spread him over the entire Uuited States

A Hancock County Farmer Talks of the Hoosier Poet to itev. I). 11. Lucas. Indianapolis Kews.

Rev. D. R. Lucas, pastor of the Central Christian church was over in Hancock county the other day, and fell in with some farmers near where James Whitcomb Riley was born. He asked one of the farmers if he knew Mr. Riley, and the reply Mr. Lucas has put into verse, as follows: KnowJeems Riley? Well, I should rnther think

Know'd him when he wnz a boy know'd bim through an' through. Know'd him out in Hancock know'd his ins an' ouls Know'd him when he wore short breeches an' round-a-bouts. A kind o' happy feller, allez full of fun Each day the same in shadder, er in sun. -r"\. He'd tell a story then about a cow an' calf Tbat'd make the sob'rest kind a people laugh.

THE BSFTJBLICAN CENTRAL, COMMITjCTHE HANCOCK COUNTY.

Organized For The Coming Campaign.

Last Satuaday at one o'clock the Republican Central Committee of this Co. met at the Courc House for the purpose of completing their permanent organizaion. The meeting was called to order

Dr. W. R. King who has been the hairman for the past two years. W. S. Montgomery, editor of the REPUBLICAN was selected as 'secretary pro tem and then the permanent officers elected as follows. Chairman, John Corcoran, Vice Chairman, Joel B. Pusey, Secretary, W. S. Montgomery, Treasurer, J. K. Henby. The Officers ure no doubt all well known throughout the country. Messrs Corcoran, Henby and Montgomery residents of this city and Mr. Pusey of Blue River township. They have all more or less taken an active bart in politics for a number of years last past and the party can rest assured that their best efforts will be put forth this year for the success of the Grand old Republican party. All of the members of the committee were present except Brown Vernon townships. There are however three committee-men to be selected yet one from the South precinct of Sugar Creek township and the two from Buck Creek township. This is to be done at the Republican Mass convention which meets here Saturday Feb. 27, for the purpose of selecting delegates for the district convention which will select a delegate to the national convention and for the two State conventions. One for delegates at large and the other for the nomination of State officers. It is respectfully urged upon the Republicans that they turn out to all conventions and meetings this year to a man. Let the Republicans make the grandest showing and campaign ever known in the history of the country. The committee was addressed for a short time by, Dr. King the retiring chairman who impressed the great importance of each member standing by the chairman and doing his level best. The Doctor then called Mr. Corcoran to the chair nad departed as he was called out to see a patient. Mr. Corcoran returned his thanks to the committee for the honor confessed and urged up on the committee the importanc of looking after every detail of the work and thoroughly and promptly. Speaches were then made by R. A. Black, Oeo. W. Duncan, and S. M. Louden. All were enthusiastic for the principles of the Republican party and could not undestand why Americans should not stand for protection, reciprosity etc and our own glorious country in preference to any other. The meeting was quite a success. The party in this country is in excellent shape and will do fine work during this year. Let all Republicans read the Mass convention call in next weeks issue.
