r.«g r.n*. found that they
probably could nut Sie bill, and that even if they could that it would prove unpopular. The people of this country do not want the sheep industry killed or crippled.
As SENATOR HALE aptly said the Democratic effort to make it appear that Reciprocity was opposed to Proteetion broke down completely, because the people saw that the policy looked to "increased trade with countries that produce articles which weean not produce." Hence Reciprocity is an aid and ally of Protection.
D. B. HILL seems to be the leading Democrat of theXation today. "Iam a Democrat" is his "open sesame" to popularity. His idea is not a flattering one to the Democratic party. He believes that it is the party not a principle or a cause which in the main and upon the whole determines the action of Democrats. Hill thinks a man will kick and grieve and groan but when it comes to voting that he will take it straight regardless of the merits of candidates, principles or any thing else.
FOREIGN COUNTRIES that are indisposed to grant the demands made by the United States for reciprocal trade are strengthened and encouraged in their opposition by the Democratic press. Articles from Democratic papers ridiculing or denouncing Reciprocity are translated and sent to foreign coantries to encourage them in their resistance and to defeat, af. possible the efforts of the Republican party to open new markets for American products. Just why certain citizens of this country should be so unpatriotic and desire to see the American system of Protection broken down is hard to understand, is essentially American because it favors home labor and home capital and builds up this country instead of some foreign country.
MR. DAVID A. WELLS, that great theoretical free trader and political economist, comes to the rescue of the present Democratic Congressmen and proposes a plan which has met with much favor, and by which it is thought the Republican or American idea of protection can be overthrown. Mr. Wells suggests Sir Robert Peel's plan which he used so successfully in England in 1842. It is the plan of attacking the tariff not by a general bill but arti.le by article in other words the Democrats hope that each man will assist to kill the industries of some other section of the country rather than his own, and not catch on to the fact that his wn section or congression district will finally be reached and completely paralyzed in the same manner. What man in Greenfield or Hancock county would desire to see our glass and iron industries compelled to close down or pay less wages.
The time has now arrived when the horny handed and slick tongued candidate will be abroad in the land. The old fictions about being compelled, persuaded, prevailed upon, or in some way, by out side pressure, made a candidate, will no doubt bo repeated many times. The facts t.re as a rule that a man wants office for the collaterals there-of and the glory attached there-to. It is not often that "Many Friends" go to see a candipate, or that "Leading Citizens" speak to him about the race. He assumes the Jacksonian responsibility and generally makes up his mind of his own free will and accord, with malice afore thought, for the other fellow, shies his castor into the ring pays, some "Organ" $5 for announcing his name to the dear people and then with a regular photograph gallery smile begins to shake hands with the people. Watch out the candidate's coming.
THE coming election in Louisiana to take place in April, that is to decide whether the Great Lottery of that state will be allowed an extension of charter brings to the public minds the importance of completely crushing out this evil from our country. Few realize what a gigantic affiair this lottery has grown to be. Their annual receipts amount to $40,000,000, or $50,000,000, of this amount some what more than half is from the monthly and semi-annual drawings, the rest from the daily drawings. *01 this amount more than 90 per cent comes from other states

From

is, one sees it belongs to tional affair blished by 1868 while
the country was undergoing re-construct-ion. The company, whose charter expires in 1895 had voluntarily agreed to not seek a new charter. But after the failure of the North Dakota scheme in 1890 they realized that if they did not retain their foot hold in Louisiana they would probably be crushed out or driven from the country. They clear such a vast sum annually that they could well afford to expend a large amount in the legislature to have a bill passed allowing them an extension of charter till 1920, for which charter they agree to pay into the state treasuery $31,500,000, in yearly in* stallments of $1,250,000. This is a sore temptation for our sister state. The lottery is a good thing for the state as it brings so much foreign money into it. The bill for extension of charter was passed over the veto of Gov. Nichols and now the matter has come to a vote of the people and will be decided at the April election. Gov. Nichols, Col. Vincent, Gen. Geo. D. Johnston and the Anti Lottery League are making a brave fight against the charter and call for help both moral and financial from the North and they have aright to expect our aid. Who can tell what one of our Northern states might not yield and fall under the golden temptation. All the other states are protracted by Anti Lottery clause* in their constitution except Louisiana. Let all do what they can to help her to 1 lirow off the monster and then

SENATOR PEFFER'S bill proposing to loan money to the farmers of Indiana at a nominal rate of interest, was killed in the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday. The eleven members of the committee were unanimously against it. The live Democratic Senators Vance, Voorhees, Harris, Carlisle and McPherson, were against it as well as the six Republicans. Such money schemes are not practical at all.

It is dreadful to think in this richest city of the world it is not possible to provide these hungry children at least with a bowl of nourishing soup.—Indianapolis News. (Dem.)
This horrible state of affairs exists in free trade England, and yet the News cares so little for the welfare of the labor ing classes of this country that it desires to see the United States adopt the free trade doctrine. Where in this protracted and prosperous country can an equal ato in be

MR. BLAINE has written a letter de clining for the second time to b£ a cand idate for the presidency,' and he' Stands to1 day without a rival in American politics. Since 1876 Blaine has undoubtedly been the most popular American statesman, without regard to party. In 1876 and in 1880 he came near the presidential nomination and in 1884 secured it, but was defeated at the polls. He could have had the nomination in 1888 had he so de sired, and again this year. Blaine, however, stands near to the hearts of the American people and will be honored as America's greatest champion. President Harrison's renomination is now assured. His administration has been wise, able, prudent and patriotic and he will be triumphantly re-elected in November.
THE Democratic Congressmen, who were so frantically denouncing the McKinley bill in 1890, are now remarkably quiet. Have they been converted from free trade? Oh no, but those who can see know that the American masses have Jjeen benefitted by the McKinley bill, and that it is popular. A year's trial shows its benefits. The country is now unusually prosperous. Sugar is cheaper, and every other article of prime necessity is now lower than before the bill passed. The American farmers are also obtaining better prices for their grain, etc., and see new markets being opened up under the reciprocity olause. The free traders have not changed, but public sentiment has, and a man who votes against many of the essential elements of the McKinley bill will be snowed under by his constinents.

The World's Fair managers would like to know whether an investigation dropped into the Congressional slot will bring a $5,000,000 appropriation.
This is the usual season for half a dozen sore headed and disgusted individuals to get together, organize a new national political party, and resolve themselves into a committee to visit and "fill up" the nearest agent of the associated press, who if he is a "greeny" will' telegraph the birth of the new party to an astonished world.
We might have lived and died without knowing how intensely Chili loved the flag, the uniform and in fact every thing belonging to or in anyway connected with the United States, had not that ultimatum been sent.

taint of the lottery will cling to it in all its future travels AV ?jr
Even the element in Germany seem disposed to join Kaiser Wilhelm's cold water crusade. The Elbe river has not been so high before since 1870.
Cleveland gets a little newspaper boom through his New Orleans reception, but Hill is getting the vote through his combination with Tammany.
Catching Garza, the Mexican bandit, rebel or patriot just as you may be inclined to designate him, appears to be a more difficult task than'was anticipated.
Chili and Uncle Sam having formally abandoned tne idea of engaging in war, would it not be just as well for the belligerent newspapers to give their peaceably inclined readers a needed rest.
The democratic ship of legislation is suffering from top heaviness. There are too many commissioned officers and not enough able bodied seamen to work her properly.
Some of those who were loudest in their demands that the admiaistration should prepare for war are now prominent among the "kickers" against the expense involved in making those preparations.
Owing to the refusal of the democratic members of the House to pass the resolu. tion authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to charter a vessel to carry the grain contributed to Russian citizens, the money to charter a ship is now being raised by private contributions.
Henry Watterson shows a disposition to return to his first love, Cleveland, although there would not be much difficulty in getting his support for the New York Herald's candidate Henry Watterson.
Texas is a State where life sometimes moves faster than the lightening express. For instance, two girls who had taken up adjoining homestead claims, fought a duel with revolvers over a cowboy, engaged in a hair pulling match, licked the eowboy for whom they had feught and made friends with each other, all within one hour.
John L. Sullivan found no difficulty in "knocking out" Murphy's blue ribbon pledge but it is only a question of time when he will find himself finally "knocked out" by whiskey.
West Virginia gives promising indications of a desire to join the republican column this year, and the democratic managers are already shrieking for outside help.
The policy of the Hill-Gorman-Tam-many combine is for Congress to do nothing decisive before the Presidential campaign. Then they can promise everything in every section that will get votes for the democratic national ticket.
A GREAT SUCCESS.

The Farmers^ Institute.
The farmers of this county closed a two days' institute iu this city Tuesday. The following was the programme: "Farmers' Organizations—What They do and what They May Accomplish," by Dr. C. A. Robinson, of Morristown "Taxation," byD. L. Thomas, of Rushville "How to Make Money in tfie Dairy," by C. B. Harris, of Goshen "A Plea for Creameries," by Marion Steele, of Greenfield "Silos and Ensilage," by C. B. Harris "Comparative Profits in Sheep Husbandry," by J. W. Robe, of Greencastle "Reading Clubs for Farmers' Wives and Farmers' Daughters," by Mrs. R. A. Black, of Greenfield "The Privileges and Possibilities of Farm Life," by Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith, of Cambridge City "Fruit and Fruit growing," by Hon. W. H. Ragan of Greencastle "Our Corn Crop, How Shall We Realize Most from It?" by Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith "Bees and Bee keeping,'' by Alonzo Tyner.
The present Institute was qiiite a success. The men who were upon the programme were not mere theorists but had a practical knowledge of the subjects concerning which they spoke and there is no doubt but that they advanced many useful ideas.
Now will the farmers secure the benefit of them by carrying them out. The trouble with the majority of the farmers as well as other men is the fact that they, do not always do as well as they know how to do. Mrs. Meredith's addresses were also of much value. She has been a successful and prosperous stock raiser. The address of Mi's. R. A. Black upon "Reading Clubs" has been highly commended. Those who heard her were not only pleased by the subject matter but were delighted by her happy manner of delivery. The women of the county would derive both pleasure and profit if they would form reading clubs.
The music was in charge of Mrs. Marion Steele, and it was all good. Miss Daisy Steele presided at the piano and two pleasing solos were sung by Miss Libbie Price.
Mr. Frank Coflin of Blue river township was selected for president, and Mrs. R. A. Black for Secretary for this year. The President will select the other officers. To Mr. Marion Steele is due the getting up and successful management of the Institute. He was earnest and enthusiastic and put in lots of hard work and should be highly recommended.
Prices of Jfarm Products.
If the farmer will carefully study the changes in the market price of all farm products by a comparison of the farmer's price and the manufacturing price, or in other words, the price on the farm and the price at the factory, he will see what an advantage manufacturing States have over those which are purely agricultural. The manufacturing States during the past year have been paying an average of 91 cents for corn, 95 cents for wheal, 60 cts. for rye, 35 cents for oats, 60 cents for barley, 58 cents for Irish potatoes, and $11.25 per ton for hay while in the agricultural States the average price for the same period was for corn 25 cents, wheat 66 cents, rye 84 cents, oats 20 cts. barley 40 cents, Irish potatoes 25 cents, and hay $5.30 per ton, being an average of about 60 per cent in favor of the manufacturing State. It can not fcie said that the cost of production in Pensylyania is any greater than it is in Wisconsin,therefore the/comparison leads the thoughtfnl produced in this investigation to clearly aee and understand that the farm needs the factory In order to secure the bett prices.:

MCCORD.
Jacob McCord was born in Clermont eounty, Ohio, March 29, 1819. Departed this life at his home in McCordsville, January 30, 1892, aged seventy-two years, seven months and seven days. He came to Marion county, Ind., with his mother when but a small boy. He entered his farm, which lies half a mile east of McCordsville, in the year 1836, at that time a boy of seventeen years. On th6 22d day of January, 1839, he was united in marriage to Martha Day, who preceded him on the 14th of June, 18$6. To this union was born ten children, of whom seven, three sons and four daughters, survive him, to mourn the loss of an endeared father. Uncle Jake, as he was called by all, has been one of our best citizens since 1875. He suffered severe illness, caused by la grippe, lor four weeks. At the close of life he expressed a great desire to depart and be with his beloved wife, and said he would trust Jesus all the way.
His funeral services were at the M. E. church by the pastor, Sunday the 31st. The bereft family have the sympathy of the church and commnnity in their sad bereavement.

Archibald Dillmau, son of Thos. and Sanora Dillman was born May 14 1890, died Feb. 1 1892. Aged 1 year 8 months 18 dayB was taken sick on Friday and died on Monday from Membranous croup. He leaves Papa and Mama, two brothers one sister and a circle of relatives to mourn the loss of a bright, intelligent and sweet dispositioned, child one which was most happy while making others happy. He called for his brothers and sister in his last struggles with death. He will be sadly missed by the bereft family, but they can realize that the fair flower has only been transplanted to the Eden above.
One more sweet flower has faded, One little loved one gone But we must not grieve for him,
As he has only gone home.

t-:®? A Marvelous Opportunity. In this day of universal intelligenc, ignorance is almost a crime, and yet so great is the rush and hurry of everyday life that, the man of business, the woman of family, find it impossible to spend a large amount of time in reading or study. How, then, shall they obtain the general knowledge that is so indispensible in the present age? This is the question which hundreds, yes, thousands of persons are asking, and we believe the Indianapolis News is prepared to give a satisfactory, answer.
They make an offer which we consider was never before even approached in value and importance. If it were left to a committee of educators to decide what is the most useful and comprehensive work that can be placed upon the shelves of a library, the unanimous answer would be "The Encyclopedia Britannica." But the universal reply would be, "We might as well wish for the moon." Twentyfive volumes, at $8 a volume, would place it beyond the reach of all but the wealthy and yet The News is prepared to put this magnificent work into the hands of every one of its thousands of readers who is able to make the small payment of 10 cents a day.
This is uot the mutilated and incomplete editlou of ten volumes that has been palmed off upon an aniformed public, but an authentic and perfet copy of the great ninth edition of the Encyclopedia tiritanica, contianing 250,000 subjects, J. (,506 pages, 10,648 Illustrations, 671 maps. The contents represent the bestwork of two thousand great minds, upon religion, science, philosophy, art, history and general knowledge of every conceivable character. The binding is rich and handsome, the paper of a good quality and printed in the clearest and most legible type. Parents who have the welfare of their children close at heart will not neglect this opportunity to^put within their reach what is in itself s/ liberal education, It takes the place of all other books except the Bible and asjnsts in the study of that.
