CITY AND COUNTY CongroBnional Cenvention. The Democrats of the Fifth Ccngressional district of Indiana will meet in delegate Convention on Tuesday, June 12,1894, at Columbus, at eleven o’clock a m., to nominate a candidate for Congress from said district. In the Convention the (delegates are apportioned as follows: One delegate for each one hundred votes cast for Gov. Matthews in 1892, and one vote for each fraction of fifty or over. On this basis the various counties of the district are entitled to representation as

follows:

Bartholomew & Brown 14 Hendricks JO Johnson - Monroe 19 Morgan 29 Owen U Putnam 28 By order of the congressional committee. W. C. Duncan, Chairman. John W. Cravens, Secretary. Mi88 Rhoda Kelly is home from Minneapolis. The Seniors are now wearing their caps and gowns. Jackson Boyd has returned from Benton Harbor, Mich. Treasurer Hughes and wife spent Sunday with relatives at Terre Haute. Joseph Chenoweth is here from Albany, Mo., visiting relatives and friends. He reports his father and family doing well in their Missouri

home.

Miss Gertrude McVey entertained a number of her young lady

friends, Thursday evening, in a very pleasing manner, and all present will remember the affair as a most pleasant one. Those present were Misses Freeman, Ollie and Cora Woods, Webster, Kurtz, Foutch, Jean and Ruth Coflin, Allen and Keiser. The Martinsville Gazette says: J. B. Burris, of Cloverdalc, Putnam county, was a social caller at this office, on Monday. Mr. Burris is a Democratic candidate for Congress in this district. We found him to be an intelligent and able gentleman, and fully competent to fill the responsible position to which he aspires. On June 20 Prof. C. A. Waldo starts on a three months European tour, as manager for a party consisting of Dr. T. I. Coultas, Dr. J. A. Houser, Carl Anderson, Arthur Whitcomb, Albert Ehrmann, Howard Whitcomb and Rev. E. S. Todd. The cost of the trip to each of the party is §450. They will visit Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and England, and returning will reach home about the middle of September.

Table Tips and Raps.

The first of the week ye Star-Press man visited the residence of Mrs. Joe Ruark, in Marion township, and passed a series of pleasant hours. The attraction was to witness an exhibition of table tippings and rappings given by Mrs. Jeff. Bunten, who has recently discovered that she is a “medium.” Quite a large number of people were present, and Mrs. Bunten gave a satisfactory exhibition of her powers, though the manifestations were not up to her usual standard, from some unknown cause. Mrs. Bunten’s ability to make the table tip, and slide about and rap, in answer to her questions, is undoubted, and her honesty is unquestioned her work is a phenomena that requlp s

explanation.

Mrs. 8. A. Hays has gone to Kansas to make an extended visit to rela-

tives.

Large number of people from the

country, in town, on Saturday last,

and business was unusually brisk. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fusselman, of

Martinsville, have been the guests of Mrs. Mattie Black and daughters.

Invitations are out for the marriage

of Miss Rhoda Kelly, reading as follows: “Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Kelly request your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Rhoda, to Mr.

Charles 8. Wallace, Thursday morn

ing, June 14, 1894, at 11 o’clock, at their residence, in Greencastle, Indiana.” “At Home” cards issued announce their future residence as 734

E. 16th St., Minneapolis, Minn. The special correspondent of the

Sentinel, writing from Brazil, Ind., on June 1, says: The Hon. Delana E. Williamson of Greencastle has consented to be a candidate for joint representative for the district composed of Clay, Putnam and Hendricks counties, subject to the joint democratic convention. Williamson is an experienced and able lawyer of a half century’s practice. In 1850 he was elected to the state legislature from Clay county. During the war he aflilated with the republican party and was three times elected attorneygeneral of the state. In principle he has always been a Jeffersonian democrat and parted company with the republicans on the tariff issue. Asa member of the general assembly he would be an able advocate of equal

rights and exact justice to all.

Piano Recitals.

On Saturday evening, at Music Hall, Miss Helen H. Birch gave a piano recital, assisted by Mrs. Pauline B. Newhouse, soprano, and Miss Jessie D. Case, accompaniste. Miss Birch was happy in both the make-up and rendition of the program for the evening, evidencing artistic touch, technique and interpretation, and delighting the large audience present. Mrs. Newhouse sang with sweetness and feeling, and sustained her wellearned reputation as a vocalist. The program was as follows: , ( Prelude ifrom Sit EuKlinche Suitf l ,, h '• \Loure (from M cello Suite f 2. Concerto, 1) nmjor Mozart

High School Commencement. On Friday evening, at Meharry Hall, the commencement exercises of the High School took place, before an audience that tested the capacity of the building, notwithstanding the steady downpour of rain at the opening hour. Rev. R. R. Bryan offered prayer after the orchestra had played the opening piece, and the speakers and their subjects were announced by Miss Martha Ridpath, the principal of the High School, w r ho presided during the evening. The program as printed below was carried out, and the young ladies and gentlemen deserve praise and commendation because of merit in composition and delivery of the orations. Forest McNary Avas the honor man and valedictorian of the class, and Miss Maude Huestis took second honors and delivered the salutatory.

Dr. Lertherman gave him medical

A new scheme to rob the innocent

and unsuspecting is at hand. A man pretending to be the agent for a piano manufacturing company drives up to a farmer’s house and asks the privilege of putting a piano alleged to he worth §450 in his house for exhibition and trial. Should he decide after trying the piano to purchase it he was to have a discount of 33^, per cent., or if any of his neighbors should purchase one he was to have the same discount. He signed what he supposed to be an agreement, and receipt for the piano. The agent then left the house. A few days afterward another agent made his appearance having in his possession the receipt previously signed, which upon examination proved to be an order to the company for a f450 piano. The result was that the farmer gave the man his note to pay for an instru ment that he had no intention of purchasing.

A Good Appetite.

Always accompanies good health, and an ah sence of appetite is an indication of something wrong. The loss of a rational desire for food is soon followed by lack of strength, for when the supply of fuel is cut off the fire burns low. The system gets into a low state, and is liable to severe attacks of disease. The universal testimony given hy those who have used Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as to its great merits in restoring and sharpening the appetite, in promoting healthy action ofthe digestive organs, and as a purifier ofthe blood, constitutes the strongest recommendation that can be urged for any medicine. Those who have never used Hood's Sarsaparilla

should surely do so this season. Fourth of July Excursions

Republican Responsibility. Evidence is not wanting to indicate that the Republicans are beginning to realize that their policy of indefinitely obstructing tariff legislation is one possessing elements of danger to

their party.

Last fall, after having attributed the panic to the operation of the Sherman law, and having held the Democrats responsible for not sooner calling Congress in extra session and repealing that law, the Republicans changed their tactics when they saw the vicious principle of the law was to be repealed and began systematically to claim that the panic was due, not to the Sherman silver policy, but to suspense regarding tariff reform. Urging this explanation, they deliberately set about arousing the fears of the people and protracting such suspense as long as possible, on the theory that the more the country suffered the better it would be for the Republican party. Their organs and speakers did all in their power to excite apprehension and prolong business depression, while their representatives in botii branches of Congress resorted to the extremest measures to prevent the ending of uncertainty by any sort of tariff legislation. Defeated in the more expeditious House, these partisan obstructionists have been able more successfully by the cumbersome machinery of the Senate to block action, and the business interests are still waiting in Republican-enforced “sus-

pense.”

It has been impossible not to see, however, that the country lias grown exceedingly impatient of this policy, and that no party responsible for it can escape accountability. Senator Dubois’ declaration that such obstruction lias gone far enough and his demand for prompt action is a recognition of that sentiment which is evidently shared by many of his Republican colleagues besides Senator Teller. The St. Louis GlobeDemocrat and the Chicago Tribune are the two leading Republican jour nals which have refused to subordinate the public interests to this partisan conspiracy. This from the Globe-Democrat is in strong contrast to the usual Republican editor-

ial expression:

“Tiie Boston Herald quotes a protectionist Republican merchant of its locality as saying that if the proposed tariff changes were defeated, it would he much better for Ids interests, but that if the bill is to be enacted it would bo better to have it ‘become a law to-morrow, for every hour of delay is a cause of serious loss.’ This probably is the opinion of the great majority of Republican business men all over the country. As we view the situation, the dread of tariff changes more or less radical as a consequence of Democrat lo accession to power had much influence in bringing around the panic. The silver peril probably did more in this direction than the tariff scare, but the latter, in addition to its effect in hastening the trade disturbance, prevents by its existence the return of

normal business conditions.

“For this reason this journal lias from the beginning been opposed to any tactics on the part of the Repub licans resorted to for the mere purpose of delay. We have been against filibustering of all sorts in dealing with the bill, holding that the uncer tainty which must continue until the bill is disposed of is more harmful than any of the changes to be made by the measure are likely to he. All that the Republicans should demand is a reasonable time for the discussion of the hill, and an opportunity to point out its follies and suggest amendments. If this time is allowed and undoubtedly if will be, the Republicans in Congress will have no cause to complain They will have a chance to define their attitude toward the bill in a direct and honest way, so that the people can judge between them and their opponents, and this is all that they can reasonably

demand.”

“Business can eventually adjust itself to whatever sort of a change is made in the tariff hy the Wilson bill. It is the suspense which kills. If delay would defeat the bill there would be some excuse for It, but as the most sagacious Republicans and protectionist Democrats concede that the measure will probably be passed some time in this session, it were better that it be passed a month or two hence than four or five months later. Until the uncertainty ends and the bill is got out of the way either by its defeat or its enactment the trade revival can not come. Improvement in some degree wauld be likely to take place even if the bill dragged along in Congress through the whole year, for stocks of goods on hand are abnormally low and consumption can not bo altogether cut Off, but no marked and permanent change for the better is possible until the bill is disposed of in one way or the other. Consequently final action should bo had at the earliest

practical day.”

It has been a month since these words first appeared in the St. Louis paper. How much more pertinent

are they to-day?

advocates of a moderate use of silver have been driven into the free silver ranks by the immoderation of the gold monometallists. The “gold bugs” have repelled compromise and have fought all degrees of friendship for silver. There is no middle ground left. The peacemakers have been overridden, the skirmishers have been driven back, and the main armies are face to face and loot to foot. The contention is plain. One side is fighting for gold alone; the other for the free use of both gold and silver. One side says that the paper money must be redeemable in gold, though there is not enough gold to make a beginning at redemption, and it is thus made a speculative metal for the traders in money

Ex-President Benjamin Harriso*

The other side insists on having j has cau8ed trouble at Leland Stanplenty of silver dollars which are asl^j^ Univer8 i t y t and this par-

lawful as gold dollars, so that there may be no doubt about the redemption of notes in coin, and so that there shall be enough money to put the country on a business-like basis independent of the banks. The next Congress must take a strong position on finance. Nominations for the

ticular trouble was not caused by the profundity of his lectures on international and constitutional law, of which he is the honored pretessor of that institution. It came about in this way. Encina Hall is for the students, and

each one is assessed $1 to pay for any

boy who is brave enough and strong enough to do it will be condoned for any break of etiquette he might com-

mit.

When the ex-President visited Stanford a short time ago to lecture the students upon constitutional law, he

was given a room, contrary to eufr- *

tom, in Encina Hall. But this \va« not all. Mr. Harrison hasapenchant for old Burgundy and juicy Havanas, so he improvised a temporary sideboard, and it is said that Mrs. Stanford contributed to it some of her choicest old wines. But one day when Prof. Harrison was not around some mischievous fellow who doubtless also liked the flavor of Havanas and the best of old wine, appropriated the contents of the ex-Prcsi-dent’s sideboard. The value of the stolen articles was $34. No one knew who took them. Major-dome Naper investigated, but could learn, nothing. At last it was determined to make the students pay for the wine and cigars out of the assessment fund. They protested, because wine and cigars are not “furniture,” and they were “contraband” goods anyway. The daily Palo Alto, the college paper, edited by Archie B. Rice, ’95, had an editorial and several anonymous communications showing the inconsistency of the demand. But President David Starr Jordan came to the rescue. He went right down into his Indiana jeans and paid the bill. But the boys wouldn’t stand that, and raised the amount by subscription, and Dr. Jordan accepted it as reluctantly as is consistent with the present times. Prof. Harrison is to visit the university soon again, but the Palo Alto says he will be limited to cold meats, baked potatoes and rice, just like the other boys who dwell in Encina Hall.

New York World.

A disgusted voter, who signs himself “An Ex-Democrat,” writes the World that in his opinion the performance of certain Democratic senators in connection with the tariff bill is enough to make an honest man who voted the straight Democratic ticket feel ashamed of himself for having done so, and adds that he himself will never vote that way again. We can understand the state of mind of our correspondent and even sympathize with him, but, all the same, this is foolish talk. Admitting that the present Democratic Senate is as a frying-pan for honest tariff reformers, what can they gain by jumping into the lire? Perhaps our exasperated friend, who now thinks he is an ex-Democrat, has an idea that he will be a Republican. Does tariff

reform lie that way.

Suppose it be conceded that a few unfaithful Democrats have betrayed the Wilson bill to the Protectionists and disappointed the masses of the Democratic party. Is that any reason why genuine Democrats should deny the faitli and forsake the only political organization that is committed to tariff reform and through which only, under existing condi-

tions, it can be secured?

This is not the first time in the world’s history that a good cause has been set hack by i lie weakness and corruption of men chosen to advance it. Nor will it be the last. The present crisis is grave and tne craven way in which it is being met is discouraging. But there is no reason why Democrats should give up is despair. On the contrary, there is every reason why they should stand firm. Even if the battle of Reform has to be fought over again, the fact that it was twice won so thoroughly before the people is full of encouragement. If necessary it can be won over again, even though one incident of the fight be the sending of recreants to the rear. Democrats should close up their ranks and confront with undaunted spirit the foe and all his

fresh allies.
