Brandywine Township Convention.
The Republicans of Brandywine township will meet in mass convention at Cowden's school-house Saturday, June 23rd, at 2 p. m., for the purpose of nominating candidates for various township officers to be voted for at the November election. Nominations will be made for the following officers.
One Trustee. One^Assessor. Two Justices. Two Constables.
O. H. TtJTTLE, F.. M. HAINES.
Committeemen.
THE United States Supreme court on last Saturday held the Indiana tax law concerning railways and .other corporations constitutional. That is a big thing for Indiana, as in the three years 1891, '92 and 93. the additional taxes brought to the State by the above law amounts to $7,345,000. Of this amount the railroads have held back about $2,000,000, and as the penalties will amount to half a million, it will be a big sum and have to be paid at once.
IN MASSACHUSETTS there is a growing tendency on the part of the state to give the people instead of the few the benefit of public monopolies such as water-works, electric light plants, street railways & etc. There is also a bill before the legislature which will probably pass to prevent companies or corperations from watering their stock as the approval of a state officer will be necessary before they cm issiie additional bonds. No bonds are to be issued unless sold at or above par, and the absolute cash or its equivalent turned into the treasury. The States should look after the interests of their people, and see that big corporations do not commit grand larceny in quasi-legal way, and. go scot free. Puuish big rogues as well as little ones.
The above shows what the leading democratic news-papers think of the Democrats in the U. S. Senate. The remarks of a .great many people, especially democrats in regard to the present policy of the Senate against the interests of the people are forcible but would not look well in a family paper.
GIIBEX SMITH'S fee grabbing goes on with renewed vigor, and right now he aud his ferrets are after 12 per cent, of the road funds of the State, which have been paid in with delinquent taxes and by the law of the last Democratic legislature he will get it. This is a square robbery of the tax payers. The funds were not mis-appropriated but simply applied inadvertantly to other uses with no great injury to the taxpayers. The people have resolved on knocking out the extortioners and grabbers and we will guarantee that the next attorney general will only get a legitimite salary. William A. Ketcham will have no such a fat goose to pluck as Green Smith has had. The tax payers must be protected. If office holders will not be content with smaller fees let them stay out of office. Daniel P. Baldwin was a fee grabber of the worst style, and now he poses as a purist and in favor of free trade.
THE fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, will show a deficit for Cleveland's admin istration of $74,500,000. Harrison's administration paid off several million dollars of the National debt every month, while Cleveland is adding over $6,000,000 a month to the debt. This enables him to sell bonds, principal and interest payable in gold, to his New York friends. People will never support a party that can not meet current expenses in a time of peace without borrowing taoney by selling bonds.
Two weeks ago the Democrats in Congress indorsed Reeds rule for counting a quorum by adopting it for use in the House. Tuesday of this week, the Democrats in the Senate indorsed the McKinley bill by pas sing a big section of it, that relating to iron, with absolutely no change whatever. They are slowly but surely acknowledging the Republicans to be right. If they will indorse the entire McKinley bill aud then adjourn, business would improve in this country.
MISFORTUNES which befall people on account of their own actions, are bitter indeed. There are thousands of men now who when they had plenty of work at good wages voted for Cleveland and the democratic candidates for Congress, and are now out of work or have a little work at reduced wages. These men are doing a good deal of thinking, and have firmly made up their mind to vote the Republican ticket this fall.
THE present Congress is trying to put on their feet and establish in good order rebel war claims amounting to $541,000,000. These claims have once been rejected by the court of claims, on aocount of the disloyalty of the claimants.
Advantage of the McKinley Tariff to Indiana as a Wool Growing State.
In speaking of the advantages of the McKinley tariff to the sheep industry of Indiana Wm. Lawrence, President of the Wool Growers' Association, says in the American Economist: "The State of Indiana would have 6,000,000 sheep. This would make an additional market for 6,000,000 bushels of corn for stock sheep and for 1,000,000 mutton sheep nearly, if not quite, 3,000,000 more, or a total of 9,000,000 bu.,worth to the producer of corn $2,700,000 annually. Sheep husbandry will enable farmers to reduce the acreage of wheat and so increase the price. It will increase the demand for pasturage, hay and oats, and thus benefit persons who keep no sheep. The value of lands depends largely upon the number and kinds of uses to which they can be applied. Diversified industries are as essential in agriculture as manufactures, and no nation ever was or ever can be great without all these. If it were possible to restrict Indiana farmers to the sole production of wheat the value and selling price of all lands would depreciate to an insignificant sum. Multiply the uses to which they can be applied, their productive capacity will increase, rotation in crops and grass will improve soils, increase value and add to the number of persons desiring to buy them, If the Indian farmer will increase the number and size of flocks until they include 8,000,000 sheep, with increased demand for lands, increased productive capacity, increased fertility and increased number of buyers at least five dollars will be added to the value and selling price of every acre of arable land in the State, and that means more than a hundred million dollars. "On behalf of the wool growers of the United States I respectfully ask for protective duties on wool and mutton sheep as ample as that afforded to the most favored industries. Why is not this reasonable and just:' I have the honor to be very respectfully."

President of the National Wool Growers' Association. Bellefountain, Ohio, May 5.
That the sheep industry paid well in Hancock county I know by observation. Several men told the REPUBLICAN that this profit on sheep ran from 20 to 40 per cent, each year after payihg all cost.

THE Buffalo Courier (Dem.) says the KisruiiLUAN Senate "is a national scandal." The Charleston News (Dem.) says the tariff changes "express only cowardice and subservience to the favored interests." The Chicago Times (Dem.) says "the thieves are in control." the New York World (Dem.) says the amended Tariff bill is a "poor subterfuge," a "cowardly and base surrender." The Chicago Herald (Dem.) says the pretended investigation 'is a shameless and impudent farce played before the country—a crJininal scandal of stupendous proportions— an abomination that is indescribable." The Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.) says "the Senate should be radically changed or abolished." Every one knows it is guilty without any investigation."

N. J. Sampson, a badly crippled veteran living at Baxter Springs, was recently notified that his pension had been cut from $8 to $6. He is a Democrat, or was—don't know whether he is now or not. Here is a letter he sent to the department. "I shall not go before your medical examining board again during the present administration, preferring to wait until a party comes in power that will not be so small, so insignificant and so disloyal as to take $2 a month away from an old veteran's pension while it is spending millions every month destroying the Industries of our country.

Cover Them Over With Flowers.
Greenfield observed Memorial Day yesterday in a becoming manner. Business generally was suspended and the houses decorated with flags, bunting etc. The exercises were carried out according to the published program. Masonic Hall was filled to over flowing and not nearly all the people could get in, the music was excellent and the violin solo by Miss Edeth Stabler, was especially fine. The oration of Aaron Walker, has been severely criticised for its political tendency towards the close, as the G. A. R. is essentiily a non political organization. The extracts from the speeches of Senators, Ingalls and Vorhees, and the comments thereon were deemed out of taste aud improper for the occasion. Rev. Walker is an able speaker and the first part of his address was excellent. As usual the graves were decorated with fllowers and wreaths by the G. A. The W. R. C. and oands of children. All honor to the old soldiers, living and dead may their memories ever be keept 'bright teaching patriotism and duty.
Tlie City Officers Elect Will Have no Trouble in Securing Their Offices.
It has been currently reported that the Republicans who were elected to the city offices recently, would not told their offices on account of failiBg to qualify in time. The section of the law under which the above statements were made is merely directory and not mandatory and has been so held a number of times in this State and in other States, by the Supreme Court. The section says the officers for failing to qualify in time, shall forfeit $10. but it does not say he shall forfeit his office.
There can be no question as to the right of the officers elect to take their offices when the terms of the present officials expire in September. The Republican officers will so take their places and no questions will be raised by the present Democratic incumbents.

The Costly Education ot the Democratic Party.
We give some figures and they are stupendous that may help to some comprehension of the cost of educating a Democratic party in the work of governing. For its leaders candidly admit that it is making a mess of it, but plead the inexperience of Democrats for more than thirty years in the tasks and responsibilities of power. After the Senate and the House have worked over a tariff bill for a year, as some members of both .houses have nearly a year already, they will doubtless know better than they did the difficulties to be overcome and the dangers to be avoided, the consequences of action one way or another, and the magnitude of the interests affected. Their education is worth something. But it is horribly expensive when it cuts off in a single month $462,000,000, or at the rate of $5,520,000,000 in a year, from the gains, profits and earnings of the people. The loss in one year is about as much as the present tariff would take from Americans and foreigners both in about twentyseven years, at the rate of last year's revenue.
But there is no escaping the loss. It it painfully real, and to many almost beyond endurance, though it was not as large in previous months as in February. About a quarter of the Nation's business was stopped in August, 31 per cerft in September, a little over a quarter In Oetober and November, about a third in December and January and over a third in February,, fio that in the seven months

the actual payments to clearing houses have been $26,319,000,000, against $37,401,000,000 for the same months, of the preceding year^-a decrease of $11,182,000600. Roughly, a quarter of this sum may be considered the earnings, profits and gains of the people, so that their loss in seven months has been about $2,800,000,000. It has actually cost the country in seven months about as much as the McKinley tariff would have raised if uninterrupted, in fourteen years like the last year of prosperity. But the schooling is not yet finished, and the Senators appear to be such slow students that it may take some months more of costly education before any tariff bill can be passed.
After that the people will have to pay the cost of the bill itself, which is quite another matter. If it stops half the textile industries, for instance, it cuts off more than $350,000,000 a year if half the iron industry, about $300,000,000 more and if these and others are thus reduced, the farmers will find fewer people to whom they can sell farm and garden products, so that their gains will also be reduced, n« one san say how much. For it is one of the lessons which the Democrata of tt»« Senate are pitiably slow in

learning, that a reduction of a quarter or a third in the volume of business done means a reduction of as much' or more in the wages paid to labor, and that a reduction in the wages of labor means a corresponding reduction in the sum which wage-earners can pay for food, clothing and other products, to farmers and to everybody else. It might be a good thing to buy from Europe -at low prices, if every Am- ricnn had his private gold mine and had only to dig some ore to pay for what he wanted. But if he has to earn the money somebody must pay him wages, and somebody else must be able to buy what he produces. It is a simple lesson, but the Senate has not mastered it yet, though tuitiou coats the people at present about $462,000,000 a month.—New York Tribune.
