CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democrats of the Tenth Congressional District will meet in delegate convention in Monticello, 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 vote cast for Hon. Allen 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. Democratic state convention next Wednesday. The last of the Spanish-Ameri-can war taxes are to 1 e removed July Ist. Judge Darroch has had years of judicial experience and no better selection for Judge of this district could possibly be made. If the young dude, bred Landis, succeeds in being elected to congress from Major Steele’s old district, which ho no doubt will, it being heavily republican, the Landis family will all be on the government pay-roll, we believe. Wind bag • Landis, the ' Delphi Statesman, has accomplished a great deal for his constituency the Landis family. We are pleased to add the “Lafayette Democrat,’’the newly established democratic paper to take the place of the Lafayette .Journal, to our exchange list. The Democrat is at present issued as a weekly only, but after September let will also be issued as a daily. I nder the able editorship of Leroy A rmstrong the Democrat is sure to meet with a hearty reception. Every democrat in Tippecanoe county should climb into the Democrat’s band wagon. Tbe democrats held their judicial convention at Rensselaer on Thursday last and Wm. Darroch of Kentland, win selected as the judicial candidate, and for prosecuting attorney A. D. Babcock of Goodland, was chosen. Both of tbeae gentlemen are numbered among tbe most prominent attorneys of Newton county and should they be elected will make efficient officials. And with twothirds of the Republicans of Newton county against the alleged Jasper judicial nominee they stand an excellent chance of filling the offices to which they aspire.—Brook Reporter(rap.)

Imperialism may strut and boast and sneer at old-fashioned Americanism for a time, but sooner or later the American people will listen to wise and patriotic statesman like Senator Hoar and soberly set themselves to consideration of this question: “Can you lawfully buy with money or get by brute force of arms the right to hold in subjugation an unwilling people and to impose on them such constitution as you, not they, think best for them?”—• Philadelphia North American (rep). It will be a good party policy for the republicans to show to the country that the democrats are not a bit more anxious than the republicans are to put an end to the barbarities under the American flag in tbe Philippines, nor any more eager that the whole truth shall be known. It will be good republican policy to avoid, with scrupulous care, anything that can look like defending the killing of prisoners of war, the slaughter of non-combatants, wilful destruction of private property, or any kind of torture beyond what is inseparable from wounds inflicted in war conducted according to the rules of modern civilization. It will be good party policy for the republicans to abstain from charging that criticism of massacres and tortures and devastations is an attack upon the honor of our army.—Boston Advertiser (rep). Max O’Rell, in his book “Her Royal Highness, Woman,” gives this advice to wives: “To rule your husband, my dear lady, do axactly as you please, but always pretend that you do as he pleases. That is where your ability comes in. Men are ruled, as children are, by the prospect of a reward. The reward of your husband is your amiability, your sweetness, your devotion and your beauty, of which you should take constant care. Always let him suppose that it is for him that you wish to remain beautiful. The woman who believes that she is asserting her independence every time she puts on a hat particularly displeasing to her husband is as clever and intelligent as the Irishman who buys a return ticket at a railroad office and, on entering the car, remarks to the passengers: ‘1 have played a good joke on the company, I nave bought a return ticket, but I don’t mean to come back.’

HOAR ON THE PHILLIPINES.

Cincinnati Enquirer: Following is the comment of the Philadelphia Inquirer on the recent speech of Senator George F. ' Hoar, of Massachusetts, on the | Philippine question: "The speech which Senator Hoar made yesterday sounds more like one ot the samples of elocution that use 1 to he furnished scholars in the grammar school speakers than like the utterances of a modern statesman. It is a pity to see a man like Senator Hoar lose all his equi- | poise and proceed to denounce this country in terms which not even Cato would have considered mild." It is a great pity that there is ho much journalism like that of the Inquirer in the present instance, which is based entirely on prejudice and not on reason and argument which assumes that one side is necessarily perfect in 'every detail and that the other is wicked and foolish. No one i familiar with public affairs at Washington needs to have read Senator Hoar’s speech to know i that the Inquirer’s statement couI cerning it are not correct. Senai tor Hoar is noted as one who is I punctilious about the proprieties |of debate, and whose positioli on i expansion is an expression of I principle and of devotion to the ' cardinal principles of government. Noone has discussed this matter |on a broader or higher plane than I he has. He is a Republican, and as such has frequently been disI pleasing to Democrats. He is still a Republican in good stand- | ing in the party, and no one could i dislodge him from the affections lof the Republican party of Massachusetts. He used some strong terms in his speech, but the occasion demanded and justified them. Had he denounced those who oppose the policy of the Administration on high ground as “a syndicate of vituperation” or of slanderers of the American soldiers and sailors, or as cowards and poltroons who were trying to deliver the country to its traitorous enetniea, he would doubtless have been commended | by our hasty Philadelphia contemporary as a great statesman —a worthy successor of Daniel Webster. The speech would, perhaps, have been satisfactory to the Inquirer had Mr. Hoar treated the subject as a joke or a satire, like Mr. Dolliver; or as an opportunity tor the display of elocutionary or declomatory accom-

plishments, like the engaging Mr. Beveridge; or as a mere vehicle for following the Administration, right or wrong, like Mr. Lodge; or like the average “spellbinder” might perform on the stump. Mr. Hoar did none, of these things, though. He discussed the subject from the point of the makers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, and there is good reason to believe that he reflected the sentiments of a number of Republican Senators who will not vote as he will, but who will regard adherence to strict party lines as more important, in the present crisis, than constitutional reminiscences.

POWER OF ATTORNEY UPHELD.

The Supreme court has handed down a decision in the case of Ludwig vs. Cory carried up from the Hancock Circuit court affirming the decision of th’e lower court, in relation to power of attorney in remonstrating against liquor license applicants. The decision covers two points of law at contest as follows: 1. The legal voters of a township may appoint by written power of attorney persons as their agents without giving or investing them with any discretion whatever in the matter to remonstrance in writing in the place of their said principals against every person applying to the Board of Commissioners of the county for a license to sell intoxicating liquors in such township. And such appointees having accepted the agency conferred upon them, and having, in the name of the voters, their principals, remonstrated against granting a license, such remonstrance is the act of the voters and effective. 2. Such power of attorney may be general so as to authorize the agent to remonstrate in their names against any and all persons who may thereafter apply for license to sell intoxicating liquors.
