CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The democrats of the Tenth district will meet in delegate convention on SATURDAY, JULY 14,1906, in Michigan City, Ind., at 1:30 p. in. for the purpose of nominating a candidate for congress to be voted for at the November election in 1906. The delegates irom the several counties will be selected in such manner and at such time as the county central committee of each county shall designate. The several counties of the district will be entitled to the following number of delegates: Benton 7 Jasper 7 Lake 14 Laporte ; 22 Newton 5 Porter...! 7 Tippecanoe 21 Warren 5 White ..10 Total 98 Jas. K. Risk, Chm. It is notorious that all the exposed grafters were enthusiastic defenders of “national honor” and shouting for republican candidates and policies in 1896, 1900 and 1904. J” The Fish Trust, protected by the republican tariff from 20 to ‘43 per cent, and over, is making' hay while the sun shines by taking advantage of the public antipathy to embalmed beef and other packing house products and has raised the price of fresh and salt fish to the usual plundering point of tariff protected monopolis.

A western republican editor, believing that an honest confession is good for the soul, admits that he loves his party and all its brood,in the following lines: 1 love thy trusts so fair, Thy fondness for hot air, Thy men of graft, Thy railroads that rebate, Thy corporations great. ' Thy millionaires elate; The whole blamed raft. ’Si ■'

The Wisconsin Democrats endorse Bryan in their state convention, thus joining Missouri, Penney Ivannia, Arkansas, North Dakota and other progressive states.

With appropriations of $900,000,000 during the first session, it is very clear that we are rapidly leaving behind the mere billiondollar stage of our existence as a nation. —IndianapoliaNews (Rep.) | But whenever anything is said about Republican extravagance and waste the cry goes up from the faithful defenders that this is u a great and rich country.” It is only the people who have to foot the bills.

The Democrats and Lincoln Republicans of Pennsylvania have fused on Lewis J. Emery, independent Republican, for governor, but aside from that nomination the whole Democratic state ticket is to be supported by both parties. The Democratic convention put the following Bryan plank in its platform: “We congratulate the country upon the fact that the only prominence which the present Republican national administration has obtained has been acheivod by a feeble and pretended application of the principles enunciated by William Jennings Bryan, the great Democratic commoner, who is now regarded as the certain successor of Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency.”

The Starke County Republican, edited by J. L. Moorman, chairman of the Thirteenth District republican congressional committee, has the following comment on his former colleague of the state committee, “Tom” McCoy:

“* * * His father before him set h ; m the very worst example possible, and in the wrecking of the bank the elder McCoy ran his son a race in over-drawing accounts. Under other circumstances Thos. J. McCoy might have made a far different man of himself. But he got started wrong and was continually kept upon the wrong road. Such being the case how was it possible for him to come to any other end? Tom McCoy is to be pitied; not for his crime nor for his sentence, but for the life-long training to do wrong which his father gave him. The McCoy who went free is more guilty than the McCoy who wears the stripes of infamy.”

All that has so far been done against trust plundering is merely scratching the surface. Not a trust has been forced to reduce its enoimous profits and indeed the cost of living has greatly increased since the so-called trust ousting began. Does not this show that therepublican politicians, although making faces at the trusts in public, are secretly allowing them to continue the predatory warfare on the people. If the republican party really wished to prevent the trusts selling their products cheaper abroad than here, the leaders in congress would have allowed some sort of tariff revision bill to pass. But all the bills for that purpose have been voted down in committee by a party vote, even the bill to reduce the tariff to 100 per cent, on those articles that are taxed over that enormous percentage. The fact is the trust busting campaign is intended to just scare the trusts and combines enough so they will “come down with the dust.” The campaign fund in that way is replenished and the corporations and the republican leaders are combined for a new lease of life. That pleasant pastime is rather expensive for the people for all they buy has advanced on an average 47 per cent, since the present tariff law was enacted.

Republican editors, who know no better or have nothing else to think about, are still fond of referring to the “free silver fallacy” of 1896. What is the truth about the matter? The small output of gold at and prior to 1896Jtimited the money supply and kept it below the needs of the country. There was then in circulation only about $24 per head of population. The quantitative theory of money was all that either Mr. Bryan or

* . the Democratic party stood for in 1896. Thia theory has beeii vindicated by the enormous increase in the supply of gold, making the use of silver as standard money unnecessary. Although the Republicans claimed that there was enough money in 1896 and that more wonld mean “cheap money,” they have increased the per capita circulation to $34. Nature and improved processes of extracting and Utilizing gold have settled the money question, and it is no longer an issue. The following from the Commoner is interesting: “The New York Press, Republican, said something about Mr. Bryan’s ‘abandonment of the free silver fallacy.’ Referring to the Press’s statement, Louis F. Post, writing in The Public, Chicago, says: ‘Mr. Byran has not abandoned what the Press classes “his free silver fallacy,” which consisted in the quantitative theory of money—the theory that the value of money is determined by supply and demand. He was for silver coinage in order io increase the supply of money when gold was scarce; he has not concerned himself about silver recently because the increase the supply of gold has augmented the quantity of money more than he had hoped for from the free coinage of silver. In other words, nature has supplied the quantity of money in gold which Bryan has demanded of the government in silver. To say, then, that be has changed his position is a misrepresentation.’ ”

WAS DALZELL STUMPED?

Prominent among the standpatters in the lower house of congress is Congressman John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. His hOme is at Pittsburg, so it may safely be assumed that he knows, or should know, the conditions existing in that wonderful centre of American industry, where the Allegheny and the Monongehela, mingling their oily waters beneath the murky atmosphere of the grime-covered city, unite to form the Ohio, pursuing its muddy course to the Missippi and thence to that inland sea known as the Gulf of Mexico, from whence they are transported by that peculiar mid-ocean current, the “gulf stream,” to the shores of h-old h-England, mitigating, by their warmth, the otherwise rigorous climate of the British Isles.

Perhaps it is for this reason—who knows? —that Mr. Dalzell is so kindly disposed toward the inhabitants of King Edward’s realm, and so stoutly opposes any legislation which might permit Americans to buy Pittsburg products—steel rails, for instance—ss cheaply as they may be purchased by His Majesty’s subjects across the sea. Mr. Dalzell is always interesting, but sometimes absentminded. For instance, while he was delivering a speech in congress on the tariff question he was asked by Representative Underwood, of Alabama, if he could name any place in the entire world where steel rails are produced at less cost than in Pittsburg. , “I think not,” replied Mr. Dalzell, with just pride in the fame of bis home city. “Can you name a place in the world where pig-iron is produced as cheaply as it is in Pittsburg?” pursued the gentleman from Alabama; and again came the answer: “I think not.”

“In that case,” gently insinuated the believer in tariff reform, “why should this country place a protective tariff upon either steel rails or pig-iron?” Not for a moment was the gallant standpatter nonplussed. “I “I will come to that later in my speech,” said he. But he never did. Wherefore we are led to conclude that the gentleman from Pittsburg is at times prone to absentmindedness. Or was he really “stumped?”

CRUMPACKER, HEMENWAY AND STANDARD OIL.

When Lyman J. Gage was secretary of the treasury under President McKinley it was determined to build a new custom house in New York city, The old custom house property was sold to the National City Bank, a Standard

Oil institution. But the government could not move until its new building was erected, and Secretary Gage agreed to pay $130,000 a year rental to the Rockefeller bank.

In order to avoid paying taxes on the property the bank did not take title and it was allowed by Gage to withhold part of the purchase money and take title (and liability for taxes) at its convenience. Only $50,000 remains unpaid, but as the title still rests in the government the bank escapes taxes and at the same time draws $130,000 a year rental. The republican congress allows this injustice to New York. When the $130,000 item in the appropriation bill was reached in the house the other day Congressman Sulzer of New York objected to it. The New York World’s report of subsequent proceedings is as follows:

“The chair holds that this is a debt owed by the government and that it should be paid,” said Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana, who was temporarily presiding. “If it is a just debt the National City bank can recover through the court of claims,” Mr. Sulzer said. “It is the same old steal. That bank is withholding $50,000 of the purchase price from the government for the sole pupose of defrauding the state and city of New York of taxes. So long as the bank does not pay the $50,000, the deed and title to the custom house property remains with the government.” Mr. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn said the contract was a scandal and a disgrace. Mr. Sulzer’s motion was lost, 65 to 88. Every republican in the house, except McCreary of Pennsylvania, voted against it. John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee moved to deduct the $50,000 owed by the National City bank to the government from the appropriation and give the bank a deed for the property, so that the state and city of New York can collect the taxes. This was voted down, 72 to 40.

Commenting on the matter the World says editorially: “The house of representatives yesterday jammed through the scandalous ‘rental’ item of $130,000 for the use by the government of the old custom house in this city. Why give unearned public money to the Standard Oil bank? Why reject Mr. Gaines’s motion to close up the deal so thatNewYork city can tax the property ? Why is Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana engineering this iniquitous proposition? Do Mr. Crumpacker’s constituents admire such activity?” Mr. Crumpacker’s constituents will certainly have a chance to say whether they approve his activity in behalf of Standard Oil. In the last congress it was Senator Hemenway (then a representative) who championed the Standard Oil cause in this same matter.

Handy Preserving Jar.

In the illustration is shown a jar the upper end of which Is formed with a flange. ui>on which rests a cap so shaped as to form a tight connection. Around the edge of the cap Is a rubber gasket. The center of the cap is formed with a small vent, closed by means of a rubber valve. A vacuum or partial vacuum can be created by bringing the contents to a boiling temperature, which will cause the outside atmos-

pberic pressure to tightly close the rubber valve in the cap, or the air at the top of the vessel can be exhausted by means of a pump. In the latter event the invention can be used for preserving materials without cooking. This invention is adapted to the use of any other material than glass for Jars, and the form Is not necessarily limited to that Indicated In the drawing. Both the Jar and the cover are made entirely of glass, making it nonpolsonous, with the advantage that it can be used again and again.

Want Herrera Blackliated. The sporting public of the Pacific coast awoke with a dark brown taste in its mouth as a result of the Her-rera-Nelson fight fiasco, and it will be many a day before the followers of the boxing game recover from the shock. Condemnation of Herrera and his action is general, and a movement has been started to have him blacklisted in every reputable boxing club in the country. Nelson and Nolan are the sorest pair of men in Los Angeles, but that almost unanimous approval is given for the stand taken by them is some balm for the wounded feelings and pocketbooks. Jeffries' published statement, in which he lauds Nelson to the skies, Is particularly pleasing to the Dane, who, on account of his refusal to permit Jeffries to referee the Britt-Nelson fight, had not stood well with the ex-champion. Nolan made a demand for the fI,(MM) forfeit which was deposited by Herrera to make the fight. It is likely that Herrera will meet this w-ith a demand for the fl.iMM* Nelson posted for appearance. Nolan is now with Nelson in New York, where, it is believed, a number of good matches await the Dane.

Fame For Ten Eyck Family. The orange of Syracuse university on the stalwart backs of the Mfecond eight and on that of young Jimmie Ten Eyck, newest representative of that famous family of oarsmen, loomed up in front at Philadelphia recently In great fashion in their respective races in the fourth annual regatta of the American Rowing association over the Henley course on the Schuylkill, and the handful of rooters that journeyed down, to

cheer them started oaca nome with wads of green and yellow backs, for both were dark horses. Young Ten Eyck faced a field of seven crackajack scullers In the contest for second singles, but he took the lead at the quarter and won as he pleased, talking back to his nearest competitor, Stoes of the University Barge club. The eight, coached by Jim Ten Eyck, father of the sculler, met such good junior crews as Pennsylvania and Harvard and showed the class that enabled the orange to sweep the Hudson In 1904, and there was open water between them and Pennsylvania all the way from the half to the finish. They were never let out.

Cleaning Marble. To clean marble take two parts of soda, one of pumice stone and one of finely powdered chalk. Sift these through a fine sieve and mix them into a paste with water. Hub this well over the marble, and the stains will be removed; then wash it with soap and water and polish with a soft, dry cloth. Washing Drees Goode. Light cotton dress goods hold their color better when washed in this way: Four quarts of boiled starch are made. Half of this Is put Into two pailfuls of soft warm water and the goods washed until clean. Add water to the remaining half of the starch and rinse. Dry and iron on the wrong side.

Animal Appetites. The dog, the bear and the monkey eat the greatest variety of food. The dog is so thoroughly the companion of man that, while he has preferences, he will eat almost anything that his master eats and therefore may be said to be as omniverous as man. On a level with the dog and possibly surpassing him in this regard, the bear subsists on a very varied diet. The ursida, or bear tribe, appears to be capable of sustaining existence upon a purely animal or purely vegetable diet or to be carnivorous or vegetarian at will. They will contentedly feed and thrive ou fruit, honey, nuts, snails, roots and •other similar articles of diet and rarely attack the higher animals except when driven by’ privation. The grizzly bear aud the polar bear are great flesh eaters, but in summer the former feeds largely on acorns, and the latter eats grass greetlily. Their teeth, like those of human beings, are suitable for a mixed diet. Then have the sharp cutting or pointed tooth of the carnivora and the flat, grinding tooth of the herblvora.

Willing to Compromise.

The mother had been having a strenuous day with her offspring, as Mrs. Anna Garlln Spencer tells the story of a little cousin of hers. The small boy had even more than usually been a peripatetic interrogation point. There were few things concerning the construction of the world and all things In it. with asides upon various thelogical, philosophical and scientific questions. which the mother had not tried to answer. She was exhausted and welcomed the night as she undressed her little son and prepared him for tied. But he had not finished his questions. “Mamma,” he asked, “where Is my soul?” “Now, dear,” replied the weary mamma, “I am very tired, and I can’t answer another question tonight.” “Well, then, you needn’t answer It tonight.” said the child, “but please put your finger on the very spot!”— New York Times.
