Democratic county convention one week from today. According to the Kansas Republican convention, Gov. Hoch is just a nice, lady-like kisser. Senator Clark is going to quit the Senate although he could easily afford the seat for another term, Come out to the -primaries today and select representative democrats as delegates to the county convention.

The democratic state convention to be held at Indianapolis on June 7 will be one of the greatest in the party's history. Tom Lawson s silence at this juncture, can be accounted for only on the ground that he is too full of joy for utterance. Booker Washington is advising his people to abandon expensive funerals, and spend their money for the living. The proper application of this advice is not limited to any race, color or previous condition of servitude. A story is going the rounds that Speaker Cannon has admitted that he oan only see a Republican majority of fifteen for tbe next Congress. And John Sharp Williams is sure he is straining his eyes at that.

Houston Post: The Washington Post alludes to Texas as being out of the corn belt. Our namesake must have been neglecting the Department of Agriculture reports. Texas is producing over 140,(XX),000 bushels of corn a year, son. If President Roosevelt keeps right at it until congress adjourns, the republican members who want to be re-elected will have nervous prostration in its worst form. He is knocking all sorts pf holes in the cardboard platforms on whioh they have been accustomed to “appeal to the people,”

There is going to be lota of disappointment over the result of tbe McCoy trials anyway, whether it ends in a verdict of guilt or acquittal. The penalty for embezzlement can not exceed three years in the penitentiary, while plain stealing—or embezzling—a pair of shoes or a sack of flour, instead of $300,000, would mean at least two to fourteen years in the “pen.”

Marion Bailey of Hendricks county is a candidate for the democratic nomination for State Auditor. Mr. Bailey is a native Hoosier and has served his party in various local offices with creditHe was a delegate to the democratic national convention in 1900, and was county chairman of Hendrioks county for four years and has been a member of the county committee for eight years. He is a large land owner in Boone and Hendricks counties and is a successful stock breeder.

Tbe claim is made by some of Mr. Roosevelt’s admirers that be has accepted most of the Democratic doctrines except revision of the tariff. Of course it will be recalled that he once declared that while he was a free trader, he was a Republican first. That being the case, he is side-stepping on the revision question. If anything is plainly proved by this it is that, as Democratic principles are unquestionably popular thoughout the country, the only sure way to put them in operation is to turn the government over to the Democrats. In this way, and in this way only, can genuine reforms be assured.

Through the efforts of Bro. Roby of the Benton Review, the county commissioners have ordered the county attorney to demand 81,075.14 from ex-auditor James D. Smith, fees which it is alleged he wrongfully retained, and, on his failure to refund, to bring suit for the collection of same. Bro. Roby asked for a complete investigation of the county records, but the republican county council refused to make any appropriation therefor, Benton, in a way, has been about as rottbn as Jasper county, something that a surething election of one party in power for a long term of years always breeds.

There was a time when the cry, “the foreigner pays the tax,’’ fooled some voters iuto believing that Republican high protection was a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It was nonsense, otcourse, aud could not bear analysis. The Muncie Herald disposes of it in this neat way: “Bills are being introduced in congress providing for the remission of the tariff duties on structural iron and s'.eel and other materials necessary for the rebuilding of San Francisco. “We have all along been told by our Republican friends that ‘the foreigner pays the tax.’ “Why. in the very moment of their afftictiou, deprive the people of San Francisco of the great advantages of a high protective tariff? “Why not ask the foreigner to ‘pay the tax’ for the benefit of San Francisco?”

THE ELECTION THIS YEAR.

The Indianapolis News: Twenty-nine States are this year to elect Governors. Of these ten have Democratic and nineteen have Republican Governors. Three of the ten Democratic States are in the North namely, Minnesota, Nevada and Oregon. Of course, the Democrats will easily hold their seven Southern States. Whab are their chances in the North is tbe question. Some light will be thrown on the problem by tbe election in Oregon, June 4. The only States the Republicans can possibly gain are the three jnsfc mentioned, Minnesota, Nevada and Oregon. The Democrats may carry several Northern States, besides holding the ones they now have. Minnesota, which gave Mr. Roosevejt a plurality of 161,000 at the same election chose a Democratic Governor by a plurality of 6,352. With as popular a candidate this year, and with no national election to help the Republicans, it is possible that another Democratic Governor may be elected. Nevada is exceedingly close. The Republicans have carried the State only four times in the last thirty-four years. So the chances favor the Democrats. On the other hand the Republicans seem to have the better of it in Oregon, which was Republican on the national ticket in 1904 by 42,934. All its State officers, except Governor, are Republican. And Governor Chamberlain was elected in 1902 by the scant plurality of 276. California also is a Democratic possibility—though not more than that. While it chose the Roosevelt electors by a plurality of 115,932, it elected the present Republican Governor in 1902 by a plurality of only 1,550 And it has been carried by the Democrats several times in off years. The result this year ought to be close. There are many States which will be affected by the movement for tariff reform and reciprocity, but to what extent can not even be guessed. Many Republicans in Massachusetts, for instance, have made up their minds that their party must be made to understand that Massachusetts is for tariff reform. It is not at all improbable that they may conclude to throw the State to the Democrats. Two years ago the Roosevelt plurality was 92,000, while the candidate for Governor, who was favorable to reciprocity, had r plurality of only 22.000. The candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, who was a standpatter, narrowly escaped defeat in a presidential year. A Democrat of the Russell type might win in Massachusetts this year. Nebraska should be close, and New York is always doubtful With the fight in the Republican organization it should be more than ever doubtful this year. With the tariff revisers in control of the lowa Republican organization that ougnt to be safe for the Republicans. We conclude, therefore, that the Democrats are likely to make their best showing—which may be a successful one —in Minnesota, Nevada, California, Massachusetts. Nebraska and New York. There are so many issues as to make it perilous to rely on past statistics. It is certain that the tariff will cut a large figure. The tariff reform Republicans, and there are many of them, may decide that they will make a showing in this off year. I The action of Congress on the; rate bill will certainly have somej influence. If it is fairly satisfac- 1 tory to the people, the Republicans will be greatly strengtnened On the other hand, the defeat by the Republicans of such measures as the free alcohol bill would give the Democrats a great issue, nf which they will make the most. The passage of the ship subsidy bill, which now seems most unlikely, will hurt the Republicans all over the country. On the other hand, the fight that President Roosevelt has made on the Standard Oil Company and other combinations, while it will commend him and hie party to the people, is likely to dampen the enthusiam of the corporations for the Republican cause. Tbe situation is thus decidedly mixed. Only one thing seems clear, and that is that the Democrats will make the best fight they have made for years.
