TOWNSHIP CONVENTIONS.

JORDAN.

The price of all the farmers are buying is however at the top notch, and in fact the price of all trust products protected by the tariff, is higher this year than last. Puzzle, why do some farmers support the Republican tariff-trust policy that plunders them?

The army scandal in thhe Philippines which is now being inveatig&tedshowß that army officers and civilians have made it a practice to have their furniture made and repaired at the government shope. Many officials are- involved, and it is said there is a bill of $5,000 against Gen, Corbin. When will the scandals under this administration have an end? And tot onehalf has been told yet, and perhaps never will be, unless a Demcratic Congress is elected and investigates all the departments.
