REPRESENTATIVE CONVENTION.

The' Democratic Joint-Repre-sentative convention for the counties of Lake and Jasper will be held in Huehn opera house, at Hammond, SATURDAY, JULY 2(5, at 2 o’clock p. oi., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Joint-Representative of the counties of Lake and Jasper. K. J\ Honan, Cbm. Jasper Co. Floyd M. Pierce, Ohm. Lake Co. We trust the Rensselaer Republican editor will take cognizance of the fact that “Hell Roaring Jake” has got it in the neck, and will also call Charlie Landis’ attention to the fact. And now President Roosevelt has reprimanded “Hell Roaring Jake” Smith, the general who issued the famous “kill and burn” order in the Philippines, ami removed him from the army, declaring his conduct a disgrace and that he is not fit to rule his juniors. It is now in order for the patriotic republican editors who have been raising such a hullaballoo about the criticism of democrats to this hellish order to class “Roosy as a copperhead and rebel. Two years ago last Thursday Marion tp, voted a subsidy of $31,800 for the Gifford railroad, and still Pro. Marshall is the only Rensselaer citizen that has ever seen a Gifford locomotive “coining ’round the bend.” July 7th last year a subsidy of $21,355 was voted for the east and west road, and that too has gone glimmering. The expenses of all these railroad elections were unlawfully paid out of the county funds. The next time any “railroad promoters" come along and want a subsidy voted they should be given the marble heart Y

SOUND ADVICE.

The county central committee of a neighboring county and judicial circuit says, in arguing the nomination of a candidate for Judge: "A competent Judge is usually found among lawyers of long experience and much study of law, and we take it that your highest desire in the matter is to aid in giving to the people a Judge who has had long experience in the practice of law. All minor considerations, such as friendship, promises of reward, or political tricks, should be laid aside in the selection of a candidate for the high position of Judge." We commend the above to the careful consideration of of our own circuit. A democrat is supposed to have just as fair treatment in the courts as a republican, and vice versa, as politics is not recognized in the administration of justice. Therefore the fitness of a candidate for judicial honors should be the chief requisite. Is he a man sufficiently well versed in law? Has he had the years of practice necessary to fit him to fill the judicial chair? Is he free from political influences, thereby insuring just and wise rulings on all matters that may come before him? These questions are pertinent, and alone should influence the voter in arriving at a decision before casting his vote for a judicial officer.

TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN.

Lafayette Democrat; Republicans never tire of telling the world how the Democrats are quarreling. But this is thetime when Republicans have no time watching for signs of differences in the Democratic ranks, and they are wasting gray matter trying to foment strife. They have troubles enough of their own. If Democrats are disputing, it is over a matter of principle. Republicans are quarreling over pelf. There is Roosevelt, mad as a hornet because his party majority balked and wouldn’t let him have his way about the tariff with Cuba, and Elkins slashing at his chief in a mad endeavor to make tlje tariff heavier. There is Hanna plunging the capitol into gloom, and going up and down the corridors, “ranging like Ate, hot from hell,” because the government won’t give him §9,000,000 a year to the end of time for building ships. There is Hoar shaming the degenerate sons of noble sires because they Want to rob the Philippines, and Lodge who runs a-muck, like a Kalman Tartar because looting isn’t legalized. There is Crumpacker fighting to disresentatives, and Quay protesting because it interferes with his buying up of blnck delegates in the national convention. There are not three prominent Republicans in congressional life, in either house, who are side by side on all questions that have come before them for discussion and settlement. Babcock wants to repeal the Dingley bill, and Frey wants to raise protective rates. With a few exceptions they are all for loot, but because they can’t agree on the division, they are breaking clubs over each other's heads, and threatening dire vengeance for the future. Don’t you fellows worry about Democratic differences. Patch up the scandalous quarrels in your own party.

Saves A Woman's Life.

To have given up would have meant death for Mrs. I „ois Cragg. of Dorchester, Mass. For years she had endured untold misery from a severe lung trouble and obstinate cough. "Often,” site svrites. "I could scarcely breathe and sometimes could not speak. All doctors and remedies failed till I used Dr, King’s New Discovery for Consumption and was completely cured.” Sufferers from Coughs, Colds, Throat and Lung Trouble need this grand remedy, for it never disappoints. Cure is guaranteed by A. F. Long. Price 50c and $1 00. Trial bottles free.

"About nix yearn ago for the first time in my 1 life I had a sudden and severe attack of | diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, | Texas. "1 got temporary relief, but it came , back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than ! 1 ''an tell. It was worse than death. My hus- | band apent hundred* of dollars for phvs- ! n lan's prescriptions and treatment without i avail. Finally we moved to Mosque county, ■our present home, and one day 1 happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe it cmilYl be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me."

Process returnable Sept. 8. —o — We notice that “Honest Abe” made his record read that the bridge lettings for the Carpenter and Keener tp., bridges should be on Saturday, July 26, while the advertisements published say that the letting will be on Saturday, August 26th. August 26 comes on Tuesday. We guess Abe will have to re-advertise these bridge lettings. — o The two cases of “furniture for recorder’s office,” which has been occupying quarters in the corridor on the first floor of the courthouse since February, 1899, and for which the Metallic Furniture Co., wanted $375, were shipped out of town last Friday, an agent for the company coming here and having a dray haul it to the depot. The records say nothing about who ordered this furniture, but soon after its arrival The Democrat “got after it” and it was evident the commissioners didn’t dare allow the bill, for after continuing it for several terms it was dismissed. Last winter the county council was asked to make an appropriation to pay for this same furniture, but after investigating the matter concluded that $175 was all it was worth, and instructed that an offer be made the company as nbove. The offer was rejected, and after lying here nearly four years it has at last been shipped away. More record cases are needed in the recorder’s office, but they should be bought in an “open and above board” manner, and should not cost any such sum as $187.50 each.
