CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democrats of the Tenth Congressional District will meet in delegate convention in Mouticello, on SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1902, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress in said District. The basis of representation will be one delegate for each two hundred or fraction over one hundred, of the voto cast for Hon. Allim Zollars for Presidential Elector in the 1900. The delegates from the several counties in the District shall be selected at the time and place, and in the manner prescribed by the Chairmen of the counties respectively. Dan W. Sims, District Chairman. The passing into republican hands of the Lafayette Journal has caused the democrats to start a new paper, The Lnfayette Democrat. Leroy Armstrong, one of Indiana's most gifted writers, is the editor.

Apropos of the Hnnna-Frye ship subsidy bill the last issue of Lloyd’s Register states that the Steel Trust is the largest owner of vessels iq the United States and the fifth largest owner in the world. It is not surprising the bill was passed by the Senate.

The democrats of Laporte say they will present the name of Lem Darrow, who was re-elected mayor of Laporte last week, to the Monticello convention as a candidate for cougress from the tenth district. Mayor Darrow is widely known and popular. Starke Comity Democrat.

With tlit* spirit of fairness (?) which has always characterized the republican press of Jasper county toward The Democrat editor at all times, not a word is said in their columns about the county having been compelled to refund those alleged •‘taxes’’ to us which these same newspapers raised such a hullahallo about a couple of years ago, when they came tothesupportof the notorious individual who unlawfully plaoed them on the tax-duplicate against us. This is another distance where silence is golden, we suppose, from their way of reasoning.

State Statistician Johnson’s bulletin announces the fact that the Indiana wheat crop for the year 11)02 will be a failure. This statement is verified by the different township reports contained in the May bullentin which has just gone to the printer. Fortyseven counties throughout the state show a loss of 445 points, while thirty-three counties show a gain of only 241 points. Eight counties show the same conditions as reported last month, while one —Benton county—reports uo wheat raised. The best wheat is found in the following counties as shown by the reports: Crawford, Gibaon, Jackson, Jennings, Laporte, Lawrence, Martin, Orange, Ripley, Union, Warren, Monroe ana Washington.

THE FLAG OF ENCLAND.

[ Where is the Flag of England? Henry Labouchere, one of England's famous men. asks "Where is the flag of England?” and answers as follows:] And the winds of the world made anstt’er, North, south, east and west; "Wherever there’s wealth to covet, Or land that can be possess'd ; Wherever are savage races, To cozen, coerce and scarce, Ye shall find the vaunted ensign ; For the English flag istiiere! "Ay, it waves o'erthe blazing hovels Whence African victims fly, To be shot by explosive bullets. Or to wretchedly starve and die! And w.ere the beachcomber harries Isles of the southern sea, At the peak of his hellish vessel 'Tis the English flag flies free, "The Maorta full oft hath cursed it, ' With his bitterest dying breath; And the Arab has hissed his hatred As he spits a|t its folds in death. The haples fellah has feared it On Tel-el-Kebir’s parched plain, And the Zulu's blood has stained it With a deep, igdelible stain, "It has floated o'er scei es of pillage, It has flaunted o'er deeds of shame. It has waved o’er the fell marauder As he ravished with sword and flame. It has looked upon ruthless slaughter. And massacre dire and grim; It has heard the shrieks of the victims Drown even the Jingo hymn. # "Where is the flag of England? Seek the land where the natives rot; Where decay and assured extinction Must soon be the people's lot. Go! search for the once glad islands. Where disease and death are rife, And the greed of a callous commerce Now battens on human life! "Where is the flag*of England? Go sail where rich galleous come With shoddy and 'loaded' cottons, And beer and bibles and rum; Go, too, where brute force has triumphed. And hypocrisy makes its lair; And your question will find its answer, For the flag of England is there!”

The democrats of the First district will present the name of Senator William E. Stilwell, a rising young attorneyof Princeton, for attorney-general at the state convention, June 4.

Morocco Courier: We would give a dollar to know why farmers cannot build a railroad, own it, operate it and enjoy the profits therefrom, just as well as to donate about one half the cost of a road and then turn it over to a company of diamond-pinned “booze histers” who in turn will work the farmer to a fareyouwell every time he shiiis a carload cf stock or grain. /

It is with no little enjoyment that the democrats view the present discomfiture of their opponents. The republicans are facing a serious division of opinion in their own ranks and which faction will win no one can definitely predict. The opponents of Cuban reciprocity are determined that the isthmian canal bill shall take precedence over the former measure when the Philippine bill is disposed of. Senator Platt, manager of the Cuban bill, is not yet sufficiently sure of the support which a straight reciprocity bill would secure in the Senate to urge its immediate consideration and he appreciates that if he reports the bill as passed by the House, while it will receive the unanimous support of the democrats, the friendship of the Sugar Trust would be forfeited. The only way out of the dilemma would be adjournment as soon as the Philippine bill and the two remaining appropriation bills are passed but the obstacle to that course, which is being considered, is the publicly announced intention of the President to call an extra session in case Congress adjourns without acting on the Cuban bill. Viewed from any standpoint it is a serious dilemma and the republicans are facing it with a bad grace. If the president will yield almost immediate adjournment will follow. If a sufficient number of “beet sugar Senators” can be whipped into line the Cuban bill will be passed and there will be no canal legislation, but the fear is that the canal bill will have to be taken up and that would mean the postponement of adjournment for many weeks.—Washington Dispatch.

FROM SOUTH DAKOTA.

Wessington, S. D., May 15. Mr Babcock:—l have moved on Will Major’s farm, close to Wessington, and would like for you to send the paper to Wessingtou, S. D., instead of Miller. We have had a nice rain every Monday but one since I came here and everything is growing nicely. There has been a large acreage of wheat sown iu this sectiou of the country and farmers are now planting corn. The grass is good. (One can see more cattle, horses and sheep in a day’s ride in this | country than Jasper county owns. I think this is a fine country so far, but I don’t know how it will pan out in the droughty part of the season, and I think from what I can learn that the fall and early spring is tolerable blizzardy. I believe this is all at this time. Yours respectfully,

C. J. MARTIN.

GROCER ARRESTED

For Selling Impure Food. A Hard Fought Trial is Expected. At Dayton, Ohio, a grocer named John L. Schuster, has been arrested for selling Arbuckle’s Ariosa Coffee. The Pure Food Department of Ohio claim that the glnzing on Ariosa Coffee makes it unsalable in that state. This interests other grocers,' because similar actions are likely to be brought against them for selling Arbuckle’s, or any other coffee which has been glazed or coated. The trial has been set for June 2nd. It is understood that the Arbuckles will send New York lawyers to defend the case. The Pure Food and Dairy Commissioner, Joseph H. Blackburn, will employ the best legal talent he can secure to represent the state’s side of the case. The laws of Ohio are very strict in protecting the people against impure food. It is claimed that Arbuckle’s Coffee is impure, becaase it is coated with a glazing that serves to cover up defects and make the coffee look better than it really is, and that this glazing is cheaper than coffee. Every one who drinks coffee will be interested in the outcome of this case.
