“Get Together” Banquet Not Very Successful for Purpose Intended. Speaking of the “get together” banquet held by the republicans at MonticeUo last Thursday night, in which it was hoped to get all the “Bull Moosers” of White and adjoining counties back in the fold, Friday’s Monticello Journal says: Ihe republican love feast and banquet of which there has been so much talk is now a matter of history and still the talk goes on. According to those who triecl to keep tally of the plates served there were 576 people present. Of these there were quite a number of democrats but not many progressives. The success of the evening is variously Estimated owing to the political bias of the person that is doing the talking. As a get-to-gether affair it is doubtful if it was as much of a success as had been desired. Those i epublicans who'failed to get in on the free tickets given out by those who had bought blocks are a little tender in their feelings and there were various little incidents that happened that militates against the success of the affair. “Judge Chas. Hanley, of Rensselaer, presided; Rev. McCorkle pronounced the invocation; ew-Covernor Deneen, of Illinois, was the principal speaker; Dr. Frank Smith, of Gary, George Lockwood of Muncie, Will R. Wood of Lafayette, Eli Stansbury of Williamsport, and W. O. Thomas of this city, were the speakers." — i ■ t CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of

I We are paying for Butter fat this week 261 c WILLIAM H. DEXTER Rensselaer, Indiana

Not Members of the Snow Shovelers’ Union. Street superintendent John Kuhlman declares that h*> has been confronted by one of the heaviest tasks of his career during the past few days in attempting to secure men and teams to remove the snow from the business district. Despite the fact that the city is said to be overrun with unemployed, few men are willing to shovel snow. The work, however, is progressing as rapidly as could be expected under the circumstances. —Hammond News.

We notice in several of the rampant republican newspapers that because of the reduction of 2% cents a pound in the tariff on butter—the old rate was 5 cents per pound—there has been an influx of foreign butter in New York city, causing the wholesale price to drop 10 cents per pound. Now with all due respect for the mental acumen of our republican bretherh, we would like to ask them by what system of figuring a reduction of 2% cents in the tariff on a pound of butter would cause a slump of 10 cents per pound in the price of butter? The facts are, the great amount of cold storage butter on hand and the open winter causing a greater production in the amount of butter made than usoial during the winter months, is what has caused the slump, and not the reduction of 2y 2 cents per pound in the tariff on butter. Ordinary common sense ought to tell anyone that the slight reduction made in the tariff on butter could not possibly have the effect of reducing that product more than the reduction made in the tariff.
