CALL FOR CITY CONVENTION.

Democrats of the city of Rensselaer will meet in mass convention in the east court room at the court house, at Rensselaer, Ind., on Wednesday, April 2,1902, at 8 o’clock p. m„ for the purpose of nominating a city ticket to be voted for Tuesday, May 6, 1902 Nominations will be made for the office of Mayor, City Clerk, City Treasurer, City Marshall, and six Council men, as follows: Two council men for the first ward. Two councilmen for the second ward. Two councilmen for the third ward. Voters of the First Ward will meet in the ladies’ waiting room at the court house at 7:30 o’clock p. m., on the above date and nominate two councilmen for the first ward. Voters of the Second Ward will meet at the Sheriff’s office, at the court house, at 7:30 o’clock on the above date and nominate two council men for the second ward. Voters of the Third Ward will meet in the east court room, at the court house, on the above date at 7:30 o’clock for the purpose of nominating two councilmen for the third ward. L. Strong, City Chairman. John H. Jessen, Secretary. The Wheatfield Telephone runs “Honest Abe's” announcement card on both sides of the paper. Evidently the Telephone man is anxious to earn bis money in this case. The republican county convention will be held here one week from Monday, at which time the Hanley delegates to the judicial convention to be held at Brook, April 10, will also be selected. A special venire of fifty men were ordered called by Judge Beeman for the present term of the Starke circuit court, in anticipation of difficulty in securing a jury to try Henry Clements for the murder of Mrs. Edward Davis. Both “Honest Abe” and Mr. Way mire are to have opposition for renomination, it seems, John F. Pettit of Walker tp , has announced himself as a candidate for Abe’s place, and Nathan Eldredge, of Barkley is a candidate in Waymire’s district Why don’t some of our prominent republican politicians strike Andy Carnegie for a public library for Rensselaer? A showing of the patriotic work done here to perpetuate the tariff monopoly by which Andy has accumulated his millions ought to induce the old man to loose his purse strings in Rensselaer’s behalf. The Apologist makes no mention whatever of the “honest, careful and painstaking” manner ex-County Commissioner Dowell secured that draft from the McCoy’s. The Apologist always has and we presume always will refrain from mentioning any rascality of which a republican official is guilty. Such servility, of course, should receive its reward, and it is not surprising that the doors of the county treasury are opened wide for him despite the illegality of his claims. The “tax-ferrets” found an “omission” in the case of “Honest Abe’s” opponent, the Jasper County Telephone Co., and placed some $lO on the “omitted taxduplicate” against it months ago. If they wish the public to take any stock in their protestations of treating everybody alike, they should have “adjusted” Abe’s case also, as the omission was even more glaring than that of the former. The “ferrets” will be judged by their actions in this investigation rather than by the oral protestation mades.

JOHN P. ALTGELD DEAD.

John Peter Altgeld di?d at Joliet, 111., at 7:09 o’clock a. m., Wednesday morning. On Tuesday evening he had addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting on the Boer war. At the close of the meeting Mr. Altgeld was seized with dizziness, caused by cerebrel hemorrhage. From this attack he never rallied, and from midnight on he was unconscious to the end. Mr. Altgeld was the 20th governor of Illinois, having been elected with Grover Cleveland in 1892 He was a candidate for re-election in 1890 but was defeated. Mr. Altgeld was quite aggressive and very tenacious in his opinions, and thereby made many enemies who lost no opportunity to misrepresent him. Although a native-born German, Mr. Altgeld enlisted in the union army at the age of sixteen <and served throughout the war, yet, like the late W. R. Morrisson, was so modest that half the campaign of 1896 was over, and traitor, anarchist, etc., had been applied to him before it was known he had been a soldier at all. There will always be a wide difference of opinion as to the outcome had Mr. Altgeld’s ideas been enacted into law, but the consensus of opinion will be that his conclusions were reached after mature deliberation resulting from personal observation of wrongs inflicted on the poor conscienceless, unscrupulous, greedy corporations.

SECRETARY LONG RESIGNS

CongresKinan W. H. Moody of Massachusetts Has Heen Chosen as His EuceeMor. Washington, March 11.—Secretary Long has handed his resignation as secretary of the navy to the president It is to take effect May 1. Congressman W. 11. Moody of Massachuetta will be Secretary Long’s successor. He was offered the portfolio by President Roosevelt and accepted it at once. This change has been expected for a long time. Secretary Long had intended to retire at the beginning of the late President McKinley’s second term, but consented to remain until certain lines of policy in which he was involved were more satisfactorily arranged. Then when President Roosevelt succeeded, though anxious to return to private life—for Secretary Long will never again enter public life —a strong feeling of loyalty towards Mr. Roosevelt Induced the secretary to defer his retirement until it was convenient for the president to make a change.
