SATURDAY, MARCH 3,1906.

Judge Darroch of Kentland, is being mentioned as a candidate for appellate judge on the democratic ticket. The Judge is a mighty good man, clean and an able lawyer. He would be a very creditable candidate indeed.

Curtis Meeker of Monticello, present State representative from Pulaski and White, seeks renomination from the republicanfl from the new district of Jasper and White. Our neighbors over in White will no doubt find that Jasper county has an unlimited supply of patriots who are always willing and anxious to serve the g. o. p , and shout for the old flag and an appropriation.

Daniel Storms, secretary of state of Indiana, finally resigned his office last week, and walked out under the lash of Gov. Hanly’s whip, which he had used on many different officers during his eighteen months of service, and it is said he is not yet through. He is no doubt making a reputation, but how it will pan out for the Republican party is yet unsolved. In Lake and some other northern counties it will no doubt cut down the majorities. Crown Point Star. Well, the people will assist Gov. Hanly in his “house cleaning” by electing a set of honest men from the democratic party for State officials, at the election next fall. Thats the proper thing to do.

The net profits of the steel trust last year, from their own figures, were $120,000,000. The gross receipts were 3500,000.000. This was over 30 per cent., and it was exclusive of the extravagant salaries paid to useless functionaries, and of money paid out for bribery and other “legal expenses.” Yet we all know that if the workmen would demand better wages, this same trust would declare that it was absolutely impossible to pay more for work and make profit.— NewtonCouuty Enterprise. (Rep.) There, there, Harry. Don’t you know that such talk is anarchy. A few more such breaks as that and “Crump” will Lie taking the postoffice away from you and you’ll be read out of the party.

MORE HERESY.

Charles Warren Fairbanks, vice president of the United States, made his millions as a corporation lawyer and the railroad interests put him where he is. These interests are booming him for president. Men who think they want an anti-corporation president yell themselves hoarse every time his name is mentioned. At the coming state convention otherwise sane men will act like schoolboys every time he enters the convention hall. And the corporations ■mile and repeat the old maxim, “What fools these mortals be.”— Oxford Tribane. (Rep.)

THE POLITCIAL OUTLOOK.

The prospects for the democrats of Indiana are very bright for electing the state ticket next fall, and the indications are that a good ticket can be obtained without drafting of men. James Cox, of Columbus, will not be permitted to land the nomination for Secretary of State without opposition, as Mayor George Durgan, of Lafayette, is almost sure to be a candidate. Mayor Ed Fogarty, of South Bend, may also ask for the nomination. John Isenbarger, of North Manchester, is a candidate for State Treasurer; R. K. Erwin, of Decatur, for Judge of the Supreme Court; Judge Saunderson, of Fowler, Wm. Darroch, of Kentland, and George Burson, of Winamac, for Appellate Court Judges; Charles A. Greathouse, of Mt. Vernon, for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Others are being mentioned for places on the ticket, and there promises to be a fairly large field of candidates when the convention assembles. Judge Saunderson was a candidate for Appellate Judge four years ago, when the prospects were far from flattering for the success of the State ticket; he made a canvass and was nocessarilly to considerable expense’. If he desires the nomination again—and The Democrat understands he is not averse to receiving it—we believe that he is entitled to it without opposition. The Judge is a thorough democrat of long standing, is a very able and fearless jurist, and a gentleman who has a large following in this section of the state where he has lived jand practiced law for many years."

It was built In 1818 by James Evans, and at one time was the only house in the town.

English has now grown to a beautiful village of 1.500 people, with many comfortable homes and all modern conveniences. such as electric lights, waterworks, etc. During the civil war Crawford county furnished more Union soldiers in proportion to population than any other csunty in the state.
