HON. W. H. CALKINS, a former wellknow Indiana Republican, who was the candidate for Governor in 1884 against Gray, died at his home in Tacomo, Wash. Monday, from Bright's disease.

FREE TUADE England has been and Is undergoing a panicky, period in their business interests. The McKinley bill which so stimulated industries iw this country had a depressing effect in England. The London Pall Mall Gazette •ays:

Trade during 1300 was worse even that in 1692. General gloom now hangs ever the country's industries. The imports for eleven months declined j£'l' ."00,000.

as

compared with 1892. and

the 'exports declined £0,500,000. Then Itas been a shrinkage in every important class of imports and exports.

THE live, active men in this county should try to bring to the minds of all the voters this year that the problem of getting it so that they and their families „my get the most out of life is the important thing for them. That does not mean competition with European laborers either in this country or Europe at pauper wages. No matter what said voters opinions have been or now are show him that under the Republican policy of protection and reciprocity, this country and lior people have grown and prospered. Show voters that a man who holds the game opinions he did lifteen or twenty years ago, is an old fogy, tvho stands in the way of progress. A man has but little sense, who does not change his opinions occasionally, for no one's opinions are always right. We are now facing vital and very important economic questions, why let your old opinions guide you. my Democratic friends, when the present state of the country shows that the democratic policy of government is wrong. Do not vote the Democrat ticket just because you father did or because you have done so for years, but vote it, if after looking at the history of the country for the past fifty years and especially the last and present ytar,. if said history shows the country and peo grie to have been the most prosperous under Democratic rule. What states are the most prosperous and propressive Re publican or Democratic?

THERE is really not much hope of getting the older Democrats in this county change their way of voting. Their habits are aucl for years have been fixed. Tliey knew county aud State affairs tuve been mismanaged. In this county two or three prices have been paid for county TTork-. Commissioners have not managed tiie county's business as they v.uld their own. Good, capable, honorable men, those who had made a success ct' their own affairs, fell victims to the "gang" or "ring" practice of doing business in this county, and let the grabbers get their hands into the county treasury. The money of the taxpayers, liard earned though it was, has been extravagantly and needlessly squandered by poor business management, and yet the taxpayers pat and continue the same old regime in power. Taxpayers, why not vote differently, when you know so well what yon ought to do. In the State the Democrats, by their reckless financial management, have piled up a debt of $9,000,090 against Indiana, and you Democratic taxpayers and voters of Han Cock county helped to do it, because you voted for the men that made the debt, •nd you will have to help pay it. Will you continue to vote the same way? In National affairs no one need be told that Cleveland and his Congress, Democratic in both House and Senate, are not managing tbe affairs of this country successfully. Farmers, look at the low price of everything you have to sell laboring men, look at the scarcity of work and the reduced wages you are getting. Do you want such a state of affairs to con tinue? If so vote the Democratic ticket. We believe however that the older Democrats will not change over much, but we trust that, the young men of the county will consider well how they cast their first vote. Let them look at county, State and National affairs, which have been mismanaged and for the best interests of the people by the Democratic party. Let the young men of the county thoroughly study and consider the politi •cai situation this year, and then vote a» their knowledge directs, and the Republicans need not fear the result.

ludiA.nu ICepubltcau League.

The annual meeting of this league will occur at Indianapolis, Tuesday, Feb. 13th at the Marion county Court House, a 11 o'clock a. m. At nigtit, the same tl«y, it Toinlinson Hall, there will be a gram I mass meeting of Republicans of Indiana, addressed by Congressman J. C. Burrows Of

Michigan, lion. W. O Bradley aud Hon. Auuustub Wilsou, of Kentucky aud Other able and i-'oiiuent speakers.

Every ccunty in the State is called upon and expected to send delegates to lne.se meetings, aud all \vho are not Republicans intending to act with the Republican party in the coming campaign are cor dially invite I to attend.

The administration will tind all the trouble can handle on account of that bond iss~ Taat wiug of the democratic party tlj*t

i*

mged with populist ideas is

flhppiug wndiv. and t-eems determined to either dc*tiw itself or the administration.

A 1 fH

Fitliy. Pointed and Pertinent,

It looks as though the free traders had got a good grip upon the democratic majority of the House.

The democratic party has bosses and sub-bosses in profusion, but it has no leader, either in or out of Congress.

President Dole, of Hawaii, has an n.l'IIUUttLlCC! UL u£ the iL^uiuitto for American citizenship—nerve and audacity.

The Michigan Adventists are kept so busy making explanations that they are in danger of being mistaken for members of the Cleveland cabinet.

Congressman Tom Johnson, although a professed free trader, acts ou the short but comprehensive platform—Protect my interest never mind the rest.

Corbett was lately threatened with arrest for burglary. It would not be a legitimate subject for grief if he and Mitchell could both be given long terms for something. "Cold pisen" is an innovation in the free advertising line made by Sarah Bernhardt, who was doubtless jealous of the notoriety some of here sister actresses were getting by marriage.

Jerry Simpson says he has finally made up his mind to again be a candidate for Congress.- We trust that he constituents will by November have fully made up fheir minds to elect Jerry to stay at home.

Senator Quay says of the situation: ''The administration has produced a condition of affairs which has destroyed trade, foreign and domestic, aud greatly diminished the revenue, internal and from customs."

If Senator Voorliees will heed the answers the Senate Finance committee will .eceive to the questions contained in that circular letter, CO,000 copies of which have been sent out, he will join in killing the Cleveland tariff bill.

The starting of a few idle mills with a reduction of force and wages may be in the eyes of democratic signs of a resumption of prosperity, but they are not the kind of signs the country has been given by republican legislation.

The Colorado legislature should not hesitate in choosing between the advice of Gov. Waite, who has made himself the laughing stock of a continent, and that of Senators Teller and Wolcott, whose records have proven their worth and good sense.

It must be pleasant to those who really wish to see a bridge between New York and Jersey City to see the question used as a weapon in the Hill-Cleveland combat, it also gives the country an opportunity to size up the democratic idea of statesmanship.

No wonder the administration objected to the figure of a naked man on one side of the Columbian medals. It feared that posterity would think it referred to the nakedness made so common among our people by the Cleveland financial and tariff policy.

A million Americans ask for work, and r,he democrats of the House offer them the Cleveland tariff bill. For indifference to sufferiug this discounts the stone given for bread about one thousand per cent. The unemployed expect better treatment from the Senate.

Feeling that Virginia is still in his debt Fitz Lee is said to be in tl-.e field for a Congressional nomination this fall. He would better be careful. He was defeated for the Senate by a man with no F. F. V. connections, aud another defeat of that sort will effectually destroy the prestige of the Lee family, once so powerful in the Old Dominion.

Why should Congress pass a bill re pealiug the very sensible law which for bids an American official accepting deco rations tendered by foreign governments? Does the present generations „care more for these baubles than our sturdy forefathers did? We cannot believe it, although there are indications in some quarters that it doe?. Let the law alone.

Hon. B. A. Black Fur Clerk of|tlie Supreme Court.

Hon. Richard A. Black, of this city, desires the Republican nomination for Clerk of the Supreme Court. Hancock county has never bad a nomination for a State office nor for Congress, and we feel that it is about time far us to receive some substantial recognition. Mr. Black is well known, not only in Hancock county, but all over the State. He was born in Wabash, Indiana, but has lived here the greater part of his life, except a few years while he was in the army, and living at Indianapolis. That he is a political hustler is shown by the fact that he has twice carried this county, as a candidate on the Republican ticket, for Prosecutor, when the Democratic majority was over 700, and for County Clerk, when the normal majority of the Democrats was over 600.. Under the le dership of Mr. Blapk and other Republicans, the Democratic majority in this county lias been brought down to less thau 400, and, with him a nominee on tbe State ticket, we believe such a fight can and will be made in this county, that it will go Republican all along the liue. Although in the army, Mr. Black is yet a young man, and one of the boys. He in one of the leading and ablest lawyers nt the bar here, aud enjoys an excellent practice. He is an efficient stump speaker, and has canvassed the State in the interest of the party. He is a splendid mixer and would add strength to the State ticket. He is certainly well qualified for the position he seeks, and it behooves every Hancock Republican who has influence in various parts of the State, to exert that influence for Mr. Black. He has active, able aud vigorous competitors, but we can and will land him a winner at the next Republican state convention if everybody hustles. So far as the electiou is concerned, the Republicans are certain of, and the Democrats generally coucede, a Republican victory in Indiana next fall.

A Sure Cure For Tale Bearers.1 IG is told of Hannah More that she had

a good way of managing tale-bearers. It i» said that whenever she was tol(l anything derogatory to another her invariable reply was. "Come, we will go and .•isk if

I iris be true." The effect was

-ometimeM

ludicrously painful. The tale­

bearer was tukeu aback, stammered out a qualification, or begged that no notice •iiight be taken of the statement. But the gooil lady was inexorable off she took lie scaudal-monger to the scandalized to make inquiry aud compare accounts. It not likely that anybody ever a second time ventured to repeat a gossipy story to Hantiah More. One would think1 her method of treatment would be astir# cure for scaudul.—From Harper's Bazar.

Will H. Glascock For State Saperintendent.

Prof. Will "H. Glascock, of this city, will be a candidate before the Democratic State convention for the nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Mr. Glascock was born and reared in this county, and his progress, advancement and success in life is a source of pride and pleasure to his numerous friends. He has met and conquered many obstacles in the battle of life by his industry, force of character and ability. He was a teacher in our common schools, County Superintendent of schools two terms, Superintendent of our city schools and for the past three years has been Deputy State Superintendent of Public Instruction under Prof. H. D. Vories. Mr. Glascock has, owing to the almost fatal illness of Prof. Yories, practically had charge of the office. He is therefore well acquainted with the duties of and has the ability to properly care for the office. We trust Mr. G. may secure the nomination, for if a Democrat has to have the office we want him to be the man. We warn him right now, however, that this is a Republican year, and the chances are very largely in favor of,his Republican competitor, whoever that may be.

Candidates For State OlHcers.

Following is a list of the Republican candidates for State officers announced up to this date:

State Geologist—Dr. M. N. Elrod, Hartsville Prof. Chas. Beachley, Cravvfordsville.

State Statician—Captain John Worrell. Clayton. The above large list of candidates shows what the feeling in the State is in regard to a Republican victory this fall. Democratic caudidates are not announcing themselves. Politics Prospering and Politicians Are

Pulling.

The crop of democratic candidates In this county is getting larger every day. The north side of Main street on nice sunny days have been well lined witii these men, who think they have Earned and should have an office. They hive fought, bled and almost died, many of them in their frantic efforts for Cleveland, Byuum and reform and now want in the clover patch. Greenfield is the place where the candidates most do congregate, in fact most ot them live here and as this is the center they can see the workers from the various townships and secure their flooence in their respective townships.

We do not know whether the "pot system" will be worked this year or not. It has generally worked well heretofore, but the people who have become tneel of ring rule will have something to say both at the primary and later next November. The "pot system" is worked by a combination of one candidate for each office, who puts up a good sum of money into the pool and then all work for the combination. At times it is said to have taken $500 to get into the ring or pool.

Tom Derry, who has been a democratic worker for years, is now reading the pedigrees of some of the faithful. Tom has ulways had plenty of hard work to do, but has never been in the_clover patch and he is doing some vigorous kicking.

Tbe candidates who are now spoken of for the various offices are as follows: For Judge, Charles G. Offutt, David S. Gooding.

For Prosecutor, John McNew. For Auditor, Lawrence Boring, George W. Parker.

For Treasurer, George W. Ham. For Recorder, James Thomas, W. P. Bussell, Yan Sample.

For Clerk, Wm. C. Duddiug. For Sheriff, Marshul T. Smith, John M. New, Wm. H. Pauley.

For Joint Senator, Morgan Chandler. For Representative, John W. Bash. For County Assessor, Alfred Potts. For Commissioner Middle District, Major A. K. Branham

It is understood that a good many men are in the hands of their friends and can be induced to run for office. Some of them want the matter kept quiet, but it would probably be a good thing to mention it before the convention or it may be too blamed quiet. Some men, who have been candidates, heretofore, say they know when they have been hit with a brick, and have aplenty and in fact they regard this as a Republican year, with old Hancock mighty "ou sartaiu."

The American Idea.

Avoid the sign "imported avoid things "imported avoid the tailor who carries nothing but "imported" suitings avoid the shops that announce nothing but tbe "imported" silks, the "imported" glassware, the "imported" china, the "imported" bric-a-brac, the ''imported" textiles: avoid the cigar dealer who wonld sell you only "imported" cigars, which may carry the filth of foreign countries: avoid the grocer who would sell you "imported" dried fruits, which may carry the germs of disease, and avoid the newspaper which teaches the "imported" idea and advocates Free-Trade.—American Economist. Center Township .Democratic Committee.

Last Saturday, the Democrats of this township met at the Court House and'selected the following precinct committeemen: 1st. Ed. Martin, 2nd. Perry J. Rhue. 3rd. John Welch, 4th. E. W. Felt, 5t.h Jacob Slifer, Gtb. Harry Strickland, 7th. J. Fry. A Democrat remarked that there were some soft shells among them aud another oue remarked that selecting them for office would harden their shells. All the Committeemen of the county will meet at the Court House here next Saturday for the purpose of organizing tl county committee by electing ottieers, etc and the time for holding the county convention may be named.

THE GREjflNFIJSiji) RR PTJBLICJAN, THURSDAY, FEB. 1, 1894.

A lesson In Politics.

American Economist.

He was an excellent .workman, but he got tangled up in the political manipulation of 1892 aud was so battered by the operation that he did not materialize until after the election of 1893. But his bump of knowledge had grown sufficiently large to balance his loss in weight, and his wrath agains some cf his political friends had served him for an overcoat. After shying around the factory he entered the office aud opened proceedings thusly:

John—Good morning, boss. Fine morning, sir. Boss—Hello, hello, John! How do you do?

John—I dou't do anything now, boss. Can't find anything to do. Boss—How is .hat, John* You got your party in. They carried everything.

John—Yes, but they keep everything they get. They give nothing to people like me.

Boss—I thought you were going to get an office. You worked hard for the party.

John—They promised me a job, but the boss had too uiauy friends. When his city relations were supplied, he sent to the old country for more. They are coming yet.

Boss—But they'11 take care of you by and by, John. You still belong to the Democratic party.

John—To with the party. They are no good. I am looking for a job. I didn't earn a dollar since I left the shop. I am nearly dead now. When are you going to start up again?

Boss—That depends, John. Your party is now urging a bill to put our product on the free list. If they do that, we must shut down entirely.

John—Now, boss, 1 am done with that party I voted the straight Republican ticket last November

Buss—You don't say, John. Did you turn your coat. John—No, boss. didn't have any cemfc, but I helped to turn my party down, and I hope it will never get up again. JAMES JOHXSOX.

The Republican State Central Committee Organized—The State Convention April JJGth.

Last Thursday the thirteen District Committmen, composining the Republican State Central Committee, met at Indianapolis and organized for 1894. Some of the brethren about Indianapolis were a little bit opposed to Capt. J. K. Gowdy for Chairman, but the other 91 counties being for him, Marion came in and made the election unanimous. It was undoubtedly the best selection that could be made. In the year of Republican disaster, 1892, Chairman Gowdy made a remarkably successful fight, and Indiana made the best showing of any doubtful State. This year however the general feeling is that the Republicans will win in Indiana, aud that Chairman Gowdy should be reelected. The selection of Secretary brought out a fight, as there were several candidates 'as follows: Russell M. Seeds and Col. W. R. Hollovvay, of Indianapolis J. C. Ochiltree, Marion, and S. E. Carler, Seymour. It took six ballots to dec de, and Seeds won. He is City editor of the Indianapolis Journal, and one of the brightest, most vigorous and competent young Republicans in the State. Gowdy and Seeds are both thoroughbreds, and will perfect a splendid organization and make a winning fight this fill!. The date of the State Convention was set for Thusday. April 26, at Indianapolis, and right now we say there will be some very hard fights for the nominations. The convention will be composed of 1708 delegates, clone for every 150 Republican votes. Hancock county will have thirteen delegates. Let our very best workers and delegates be selected, so that a strong fight can be made for onr candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, R. A. Black. Tin* Fee su I^IAV Constitutional,

The Supreme Court on List Thursday declared the fee and salary law constit.iltioual. Judge McCtibe rendered a dissen ting opinion It was a curious thing I to see the author of the kill, John Beaseley, the Democratic member from Sullivan fighting the constitutionality of the bill with all his might. County officers will now continue under the fee and salary law for we do uot believe many will resign, although hundreds claimed they would have to. Few men resign a county or State office.

DR. MAN-O-WA: I have been a sufferer for over seven years with sick headaches, weakness, nervousness and diseases peculiar to my sex. After takiug three months treatment of your Iudian Herbs I feel well and strong, and would advise my friends who are sick to call upon you.

Yours truly. MRS. W. S. NKELD. Perhaps never in the history of modern journalism has any newspaper gained so rapidly in public favor as tbe Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past two years it has, by adopting progressive methods and injecting push and enterprise in all its departments forced itself inte the very front rank of great Chicago newspapers. That this popularity is deserved is beyond question. The publisher during this time, Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat. has spared neither expense nor effort to attain his ideal—and he bas succeeded.

Uncompromisingly Republican on all National issues. Tbe Inter Ocean does battle for what it believes to be the true faith in a manner that at oace commands the attention of the public and respect to all. It can be recommended to those who desire a clean, reliable, enterprising metropolitan family newspaper. Club rates at the REPUBLICAN office.
