With'

W. P. BIDGOOD, Chairman.

E. J. BINFORI), Secretary. THE chances are that Congressman W. C. P. Breckenridge will not be renominated by his Kentucky constitueuts. He is a Cain among men, with the mark of sin upon his brow and character, and as the jury found him guilty, so will his Ashland constituents, and as the country at large has already done. Brecken ridge was a bright and shining light, but oh! my countrymen, what a fall.

FOR supplying defective armor plate through dishonest employes and officials getting it accepted and used on some of our warships, Andrew Carnagie was by the naval officials fined $300,000. Handy Andy however comes out strong in favor of the Wilson tariff bill, and Cleveland, caught by the glamour of so great a convert, reduced the fine to $140,000. A poor man caught stealing a few loaves of bread or some meat for his starving wife and children, is sent to the penitentiary, while the crafty Carnagie is fined a very small part of what he has probably robbed the government. Laws should be enforced alike both on the rich aud .the poor. For years Carnagie was with the Republicans, now he is with the Democrats. It is to be hoped that the proper punishment will be meted out to him, and all officials who have connived at his crimes should be summarly dealt

As WENT Greenfield Tuesday so will go Hancock county this fall. Let the Republicans keep on in this good work.

THE New York banks are now holding $83,417,950 more money in their vaults than the 25 per cent, reserve called for by law. With the Democratic Senate treating the trusts so tenderly, and Cleveland and Carlisle bent on issuing bonds, the big monied interests are carefully looked after, but the rights of the people and their interests may go to the demnition bow-wows for all Cleveland & Co. ^are1_______

THE Democratic Senators are so amputating the tariff bill that trusts and monopolies are being favored, and as a result stock in whiskey and sugar trusts are increasing in value. Trusts and monopolies should be so legislated against that it would be impossible for them to rob the people without committing a criminal offense and subjecting their officials to a term, and a good long one, in the State prison. Stealing is stealing no matter whether it is done by a big trust or by a man in a hen roost. The big thieves of late, however, have generally managed to escape, but let the people rise in their might and smash the trusts. They know no politics or party, but conspire to rob all alike.

The Woman Questiou.

THE woman question is one that fer years has forced itself to the front and today is one of the few leading- questions. For years the women struggled and contended that girls should have an equal chance in schools and colleges and now co-education is practically the rule everywhere. The girls are showing their mental equality by capturing their share of scholarship and oratorical prizes. Women are now admitted to the professions, such as law, the ministry, the medical and as teachers, they now far out number men. In voting, they are granted equal privileges on school and municipal questions in dozens of states and in a few states, they now have unlimited suffrage voting on all questions. In several of the leading states, amendments are now being considered to grant women all the rights of men on the suffrage question and the sentiment of the country is now such that the day is not far distant when they will have equal privileges everywhere.

There is another question that is being adjusted more favorable to women and that is in regard to the standard of virtue. Hitherto there have been two standards, one for men and one for women. In men a lapse from virtue only injures the perpetrator and when he has money, influence, an influential family ana strong friends the injury to his social standing is but little and to his business none at all. In a woman a lapse from virtue almost destroys her. The higher her social standing the more complete the fall, the greater the disgrace. She is shut out from society and has a hold upon but few if any friends. The tendency is now in the right direction, namely to judge both by the same standard and make the man feel the shame of his guilt aud enormity of his crime as strongly as his female partner in guilt. Women must not suffer degredation at the hands of man and he escape while she alone bears the burdens of guilt. The women alone, good women and pure giris can largely control this by having absolutely nothing to do with a mau who is a libertine, or does not have a chivalrous loyalty of speech and conduct for women.

Hon. K. A. Black's Race For Clerk of the Supreme Court.

As a rule it does not pay to discuss "what might have been," but a few observation on Mr. Black's race for Clerk of the Supreme Court may not be out of place. His race was creditable alike both to himself and Hancock county from which he received a loyal support. The representative Republicans, of Hancock county who were at Indianapolis and assisted Mr. Black on last week were numerous and vigorous, in fact it was the largest and best delegation Hancock county ever sent to any kind of a convention. The work of the delegation secured Mr. Black a host of friends among the delegates over the state, but as there were so many candidates and each congressional district, except the seventh, Mr. Black's, voted solid for its own candidate his individual friends were bound by their districts until a break came, and then it was too late. On the first, second and third ballots he received a larger and abetter vote from the state at large outside of his own congressional district and had more friends than any other candidate, but Marion county giving him twelve votes, less than on* teuth of her votes (180), left him too low in the number of votes received to draw votes from elsewhere.

We positively know that Mr. Black was personally the second choice of several candidates and their delegations and had Marion county given him the vote which, as a county of his district they should have given him he would, when the break came, have been in the lead and received the big majority of the votes of several of the candidates who, in case they could not succeed, desired his nomination and their votes would have nominated Mr. Black.

Marion county, however, showed base ingrati^nde in more instances than Mr. Blacks. It showed us the unfortunate condition of being tied up in the same congressional district with them. The ingratitude and treachery of a number of Marion county men, whose friendship was supposed to mean something was also unmasked. While it is unpleasant to learn these things, still one is glad to know them, for then he can govern his own action accordingly. In various parts of the state Mr. Black had some loyal aud able supporters, who did noble work for him and for services rendered, he is very grateful, appreciative and filled with a feeling of reciprocity, when the opportunity occurs.

Tiie City Council.

The Council meet in regular session last evening and but little business was before them. Bills were allowed for street work and election expenses, and but little else was done. The Councilmen elected for the next four years, Messrs. Fred Beecher, F. G. Banker and Taylor Morford were present and Mayor Herron administered the oath of office to them. It was simply a continuation for Mr. Morford. but the other gentlemen took the places of Messrs. John Barr and J. B. Huston whose terms had expired. These gentlemen retire with a good record, they have made A No. 1, first class ceuncilmen and we predict that their successors will also make fine councilmen, men who will look after the business of the city and be watchful for her best interests.

Call on A. J. Banks if you want a good breaking plow. Moreliead-Cockayne.

Tuesday, at 4 p. at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Cockayne on North State street, Mr. George Morehead and Miss Mattie Cockayne were united in marriage by a minister of the Friends' church from Anderson. The wedding was quite a handsome affair and about 65 guests, relatives and friends of the young couple were present. Mr. Morehead is a successful gas well contractor and Miss Cockayne was one Greenfield's accomplished and popular young ladies. The couple left on the 5:45 train for Sheffield, Pa., where they will visit Mr. M's parents a few weeks. Upon their return, they will go into their handsome new home adjoining Elbert Tyner's, on Walnut street, and as it is newly and elegantly furnished throughout it will be a delightful abode. The REPUBLICAN congratulates and extends its best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Morehead.

If you want a keg of nails call upon A. J. Banks. Hancock County's Representative.

That there is great unrest and an unsettled condition of the great masses of the people to-day there is no doubt. The people are not as prosperous as they ought and wish to be. Just why they are not is the great question of the day. That politics and legislation have much to do with it many people believe. Such being the case, they are favorably disposed toward men and measures that they think will afford them the surest and speediest relieL The legislation of the State of Indiana has not been of a character to benefit the people. Our taxes are high and getting higher, and a debt of $9,000,000 has also been piled up. Now the people of Hancock county should elect a man representative who has a knowledge of economic questions, and who has the honesty and ability to maintain his opinions, and secure legislation that will benefit our people. The railroad, the banks, the county officers and others with large interests, will have their paid lobbiests there to see that the legislature passes no acts that will not result in benefit to them. The people will have no lobbiests, but they should have a man as representative and also as senator who will have at least a fair understanding of .all questions that may come up, and be able to cope with the lobbiests and the men they have secured. An honest man, if his training and ability are such that he is not the equal of the lobbiests, will do his constituents no good, as they will pull the wool over his eyes. The men whom the lobbiests secure to look after their interests in the legislature are as a rule sharp, shrewd lawyers, men of affairs, skillful in debate and log rolling, and the representative with only honesty as his forte, is helpless. He comes back to his constituents and says, "I did the best I could," and he did, but without special knowledge or training for the legislature such a man is practically helpless.

Let the Republicans of Hancock county nominate a man for representative who is honest, reliable, fearless, has a know ledge of economic questions and the needs of the people, skillful in debate, a parlimectarian—in fact an all around first-class man, who will be able to do something when he gets there. The same applies to the senator for Hancock and Rush. If the Republicans nominate such a man he will commend himself to the people and be elected. Hancock county wants a man in the legislature who will be a power there, and make his influence felt.

The Tribune found fault with the rur.LicAX for paying any attention to what it said in behalf of Democratic sucsess in the city election. We expect it was a mistake, but when a paper which claims to be non-partisan, gets so rampant in its partisanship that the man tinder whoFe nume it is priuted, Cbas. E. Pauley, gets so ashamed of it that he pulls his name down from the head of its columns and it runs as a nondescript, then others are entitled to call attention to the same. The Tribune aims to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.

The price is such that they will nanke a big thing out of it. Work has begun now and will be completed by September.
