mh . . G ‘ he Ligoviier Lanner, THE BANKER PUBLISHING COMPAKNY 3. E, McDONALD, Editor. . THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1894. THE next ’republ‘icé'n state convention will be held at Indianapolis and it is pretty safe to say that, the experiment of changing it from one city to another ended with the Fort Wayne experience of two years ago. " WEe- wouLD like to give some one who thinks he could argue -the case fully a little space in these columns to explain why an Allen county Democrat’ is entitled to any more consideration than one who may cast his vote and work fer his party’s interest in DeKalb, . Noble or Steuben. S THE republican state conyention will be held on April 26, one of the earliest dates selected by either party for many years. There is method m - this for. if the meetihg‘ was put off much longer there would be hardly ~enough tp act as delegates. They would all be candidates. - | THE democratic state central committee will meet in Indianapolis today to organize and elect a new chairman, secretary and - treasurer. Seyeral “‘prominent Democrats are mextioned " in connection with the chairmanship. Efforts have been made to work up a boom for Alonzo Greep Smith for the place. . L e IN DECLARING that post oflice elections are dangerous to the party, the " Valparaiso Messenger -says: ‘‘There is too much foolishness in the selection of postmasters. A congressman or senator should have the nerve to appo‘i}it‘ his choice. Thke people are weary ot post office elections. They are mostly farces.”’ - » " THE governor of the bank of England is quoted as saying that the post office savings bank in that country is « - magnificent success. The beneficial effects of a system which allows a poor man to save money and feel that it is . guarantéed by the govefnment itsels cannot be overestimated,‘;‘?and is ‘sensibly felt’throughqu,t" the length and breadth of the land. . _

THE great ‘encouraging feature of the situation, says -the Wall Street News, is the evidence that comes from nearly every quarter. of increased demand for commodities, the resumption of operations by many tactories, a decidedly more cheerful ‘feeling in trade circles, less alarm over the out come of legislation. and increased traffic on the railreads. e THE new republican state central committee proposes to give, Jack Gowdy, the old chairman, a chance to yvindicate himself. He has been reelected chairman and he will have the assistance of Russell®M. Seeds, a bright young newspaper man at Indianapolis, as secretary. Gowdy is‘an all- around wide awake political manager and will doubtless make a hard fight for the state ticket. - Tue Elkhart Truth, Cengressman Conn’s paper, says: An -effort has been made by some of the newspapers of northern Indiana to create the impression that Congressman Conn was one of the bolters against the Wilson bill. An examination. of the Record will show that Mr. Conn was present ‘at all of the roll calls and voted with his party to make a quorum and for the consideration of the Wilson bill. What is the use of such misrépr?séntation? | ' ‘

Every ' farmer in Noble county ‘should have heard T. B. Terry at the farmers’ institute at Albion last Fridav, Mr. Terry is not a'pessimist by any means; he believes that, any one with ‘well direéted efforts will succeed and he has nofuse for the unlucky farmer nor the unlucky business man. He don’t seem to think that many of the farmer’s ills comes from legislation, but from his own mismanagement, and he has no use whatever for the calamity-howlers. Mr. Terry is a progressive, successful and wide .awake farmer, ' , THE average production in all ¢ lasses of manufactures during the past six months has been diminished nearly one-third, and the amount of imported goods released from the custom houses during the same perjod has diminished in equal proportion, At the same time the reports of retail trade all ever the country indicate that the actual contraction has not-exceeded ten per cent. of the average, and in some branches’is little more than nominal. These fizures indicate a condition such as' has not existed for many years, and a speedy. revival may be looked for. CHICKENS will come home to roost. In the fall of 1892 through the machinations of the republican ring at Goshen the whole vote of several precinets was throwa out for the purpose of counting in a defeated candidate for treasurer. Upon this count the returns were made to the secretary of state, but later. the courts compelled the réturding board ‘to make an horest count, thereby electing the democratic treasurer. But the returns at Indianapolis were not corrected and Elkhart county will only have 26 yotes in the state and district conyentions when it should nave 31. ‘There don’t seem to be any way in wvhich it ¢am be fixed, either.

IT 1S REGARDED as significant that the London Times, which has heretofore supported the India council’s policy in closing the mints to free silver coinage, now pronounces that measure a failure and predicts that, sooner or later, the Indian mints will have to be reopened. The whole silver question will have to be reopened -before long. MoONDAY at his- home at Tacomsa, Washington, Hon. W. H. Calkins, once a prominent tigure in Indiana polities, ‘died of Bright's disease- after a short illness. For three terms he representled the Thirteenth district in congress and in 1884 he ‘was the republican candidate for governor, but was defeated by Hon. Isaac P. Gray: In 1890 after & short residence in Washington President Harrison appointed Major Calkins chief justice of the then territorial court and later when statehood was -conferred he came within a few votes.of being the caucus nominee for United States senator. Judge Calkins‘ was an able man, a hard fighter and | had a large circle of political and personal friends. - I~ ms inaugural address Governor ‘Greenhalge, of Massachusetts, spokein favor of the referendum, and 1t is probable that the legislature of that state will adopt this new legislative plan. Other states will, follow.suit, and in time it flmy be that the referendum will be universally in practice.and popular. This plan is an extension of the homerule principle. By italllegislative dets of a. local character are submitted to the yoters of the several municipalities for approval or rejection.. The adoption of this measure would pre{vent undue interference of legislatures with strictly local affidirs. Thereferendum has been a success abroad and it might take some of the resposnsibility from the much abusedlegislator.

AT EVERY recurring state convention, at every congressional convention and l upon all occasions we hear no_thin'g‘ but the claims of Allen county, When will this thing cease? Not until all ‘the valiant patriots of that favored locality are fixed in some way. Under the former democratic administration every: federal appointee came from Allen county. The fact that the congressman resided in that part of the district was then no bar to tlifii_' claims. They asked for eyerything and got about what they asked for. Up to this time Congressman McNagny has been able to get but two federal appointments, a_place in the agricultural department for Argo, an Allen county man, and a postotiice inspectorship for another Allen county patriot, All the other favors are to go in that direction also. _ ' ' A Tee weekly statement shows that the New York banks, during the week last past gaiuedsl3j76t§,9ooin légal money and deposits increased $14,592,500, but loans were increased only $1,500,500. The banks hold in cash $238,331,000 and $102,754,450 in surplus reserve, both amounts being without precedent. The maximum sarplus reserve previous to this season was about $65,000,000 in 1885, and was one of the after eflects of the bank panic of May, 1834. The deposits mnow are $542.306,200, or within $1,300,000 of the highest point eyer reached by deposits, which was June 17, 1892. "The banks now hold deposits of $132,620.300 in excess ol | loans, and this sum represents the amount of idle capital which ecannot find empl(‘)l\;ment owing to unsatisfactory rates or insuflicient collateral security. - -

AnvoNGthe many senseless taxes, that upon iron ore is one of the most senseless.” It is a tax not so much to shut out foreign competition as to protect badly located. poorly equipped, or com paratively impoverished mines against mines like those in the great Mesaba range, where the ore can be got out at a cost that defigs competition. And it is to this thfiprotection has come The question is as t 6 what one part of the country can make out of another part. New England is to be taxed on the coal she uses to protect Pennsylvaniaj; and Pennsylyania is to be taxed on woolens in order to protect New England. It is a grab game pure and simple. Such a system is necessarily self-destructive. Civilization and the whole tendency of modern development is on the side of the Democrats in this fight. —lndianapolis News (Ind. Rep.) Tur death of Hon. John Yaryan, [ probably the oldest legislator in the | world, took place at his home at Richmond last Saturday at the sge of 94. | For seventy years Senaibr Yaryan was one of the leading attorneys .of his section of the state and for several terms occupted the bench of his local circuit. He was & remarkable man in many respects and no man in the Indiana senate wag ever heid in higher esteem by his fellow members. His speeches were always listened to with great attention and his yote was watched with interest. It was his pride that he had voted for eighteen presidential candidates. He began with John Quincy Addms in 1824, casting a second ballot for him in 1828, He voted for Henf Clay;in 1832, and for ‘‘Tippecanoe Harrison in 1836 and 1840.~ Again in | 1844 he cast a ballgt for Clay, and m 1848 he voted for Taylor, in 1852 for Scott, and ia 3856 for Freemont, the free soil candidate, Then m regular vsuccessio‘n followad iincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Blaine, and, of course, General Harrison in 1888 and ! 1892, Clay was his idol; so much so that Mr. Yaryan remarked that after Clay’s death he beiieved he would have voted for the executar of his estate.

‘OLD-FASHIONED molasses, the genuine dark brown, saccharine, delicious adjunct of the corn pone and the slapjack, has becowe a scarce article of late years, and is likely to become scarcer still. 1n fact the old-time molasses is scarcely produced nowadays, for, as sugar making machinery is impreved and the production of sugar increased, the quantity and quality of molasses decreases. Many planters | can remember the day when, to separate the sugar from the molasses, the boiled cane juice was placed in ‘barrels bored fuli of holes; theymolasses drained out and the sugar re{mained in the ‘barrel. The centrifugal machinery now in use separates the sugar so thoroughly that but Ilittle molasses, and that of poor quality, is left. = ° | A DANGEROUS GAME. : | It is to be hoped the Democratic state central committee will not follow the foolish example set by the republican committee in calling an early state convention. State conventious make platforms. The issues in the next campaign are not yet made up and there is little likelihood of their being so before sometime’ next summer.” This one fact ougbt to be suflicient reason for postponing the convention to a late date. ‘l'here are numerous other reasons that have applied generally to all the campaigns in recent years and especially in off years, Another fact that applies to | the present time is that a great many men are out ‘'of, mployment, are under more or less excitement. suspense and aggravation, and it is not advisable, to add the excitements of a political contest, neither is. it advisable to assemble men in large erowds. It is said the existing conditions, the opportunity afforded to c¢harge all the trouble to the democratic party, was an argument used by republican politicians to hasten the opening of the campaign. If they seek to add to the dissatistaction they will be playing a dangerous ocame; they may be sowing the wind from which the country will reap a whirlwind. —New Albany l.edger.

GOOD NEWs CROM THE GAS TOWNS, The natural gas towns of the state seem to be doing pretty well m spite of the fact that the dreadful shadow of the Wilson bill lies over them all.. The secretary of the business men'’s association of those towns, Chatles Tarleton, said in last night’s News that Elwood had just subscribed $lOO,OOO to ‘build another tin-plate factory at that place, and that arrangements for the erection of the factory had been completed. The new factory will be of the same capacity as the old one, which is now running night and day, and is still unable to keep up with its orders. The tin plate mill at Gas City is running full time.” Now this is a very extraordinary condition of things. The Wilson bill cuts this tin-plate duty from 2 1-5 cents to 1 1-5 cents a pound or from almost 78 per cent. to 42 per cent. And yet in the face of-this wan ton attack upon-an American industry it is actually prospering. This strance situation does not seem to supply a very good text for the calamityhowler. On the whole we think our Republican iriends have shown great wisdom in fixing an early date for their state convention. It may be that April 26 18 not early enough, but it certainly is not one minute too lute, There may be great improvement in business even vy that time—indeed there issure to be a decided change for the better if the Democrats pass the Wilson bill promptly, And it is of the utmost importance that the Republican platform should be adopted before the revival in business becomes too marked. Every factory that resumes operation ‘will tend to make that platform ridiculous. How ecan our - friends charge the” Democrats ftvith haying wrecked the industries of the country when those industries are ‘‘running night and day,” and are ‘'still unable to keep up with orders?’ How can they deplore the great industrial{ depression if that depression shall be converted into a -boom? They can, indeed, ‘‘point with pride” to the panic through which we have passed, and they can charge it to the Wilson bill. But how will they explain our prompt recovery from the paniec, if 1t shall happen that we are in the midst of a roaring trade when their convention meets? It will be. seen that the situation is dangerous and delicate, as it always must be for men who travel upon the theory that their adversaries are responsible for all our woes, and that they themselves are the only physicians who can cure our woes.—lndianapohs News.

Canniff Will Quit. . L There seems to be no longer any ’douhc" .that Gereral Superintendent Canniff, of the Lake Shore, and well ‘known in this county, has resigned, to ‘take effect February 1. The reason ‘giyen is that in appointing a successor 'to Paymaster Lindsey, Mr. Canniff fail‘ed to consult President Newell in ‘the ‘matter and that the latter then insisted ‘on the appointment of Edward ‘Sheldon, cashier of the treasury department, to the place. as he was the president’s choice. Mr. Canniff could ‘not brook the humiliation and resigned ‘but not by request, as has been reported. It is said that P. S. Blodgett-is to succeed Canniff; Tracy W. Niles of the Buffalo division to succeed Blodgett, and A. B. Newell to succeed Niles. * But the Goshen Times gives another reason for his retirement from the road. The cagse of his removal has just leaked out. It seems Mr. Canniffhad a mania for keeping down expenses and that every man who could be spared was laid off last fall. Among the workmen to go were the swing bridge tenders in Cleveland. When the winter setin the men were retired and the bridges spiked. Some time ago three boats came up against the bridges but could get no farther; They were shut off for five days on account of the bridges. The expense of the delay was $l,OOO a day to the railway company and the sum total of damages awgrded them was a cool $15,000. This was expensive economy and to test his metal President Newell gave Mr. Canniff the alternative ot paying the $15,000 oat of his uwn pocket or retiring from the road. The general superintendent accepted the latter and his connection with the road will cease on the first of next month. i : - Notice of Dissolution. | Notice is bereby given that the firm of Lgeb & Emmit has been dissolved by mutual gonsent.

, Married. ‘ On last Saturday evening, January 27, at the residence of Rev G. F. Byrer on the North Side, in tite presence of a | few friends, Ernest G. Franks and Miss Inez Milner were made husband and wife. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Anna Milper and a beautiful young woman. Ernest G. Franks is well known to our people as the only son of Ur. W. H. Franks. He is a bright young man and| will doubtless make his mark in his chosen profession, the law, = The marriage was in the nature of a surprise to the groom’s closest friends as no one suspected that he had any designs on becoming a benedict. THE BANNER extends congratulations. Married at Elkhart. At Elkhart on Wednesday evening, Jan. 24, at the residence of the bride’s mother, Wallace Marker, formerly of this city, and Miss Nellie Haywood were united in marriage by Rev.J. L. Parks. | A large number of intimate friends were present. The wedding presents were numerous and costly. The groom is well known here as a young man of good reputation and steriing qualities. He has been a tireman on the Lake Shore for seyeral years and is now 1n dirc ct line of promotion. The bride is a beautiful and cultured young lady. Mr, and Mrs. Marker will at once begin housekeeping at Elkhart which they will make their future home. On Thursday evening last Mr. and Mrs. Marker were tendered a reception at the residence of Mr. Marker's parents on the North Side. About fifty guests were preseut and al!l had an enjoyable and pleasant. time. '

A At Least One Democrat. On the recommendation of Congressman McNagny, J. C. Compton, of Fort Wayne, has been appointed - inspector of the free delivery system for this state. We infer from the recommendation that Mr. Comptonis a I'emocrat, and as this is the first case of the kind we have heard of, we rejoice and take courage. As far as we know there is net-a democratic inspector in the 1 entire service. Certainly there is none in this part of the country. and we believe there has not been a single democratic appointment in the railway mail service in the northern part of Indiana. What is worse, there probably will be none while the.present republican partisan -head officers hold their places, which seems likely to be during their natural lives. Severalof the republican postoflice inspectors whose terms have expired have been reappointed. ‘They are slick Republicans and are in a position to ask those who do not like it, ““What are you going to do about it?”’ One of these slick Republicans recently declined to do his plain official duty because he thought it might help the Democrats and injure his republican friends, which he said he ‘‘didn’t like to do.””—Laporte Argus. ‘ Council Proceedings. ‘ _ Mayor Weir presided at the regular meeting ot the city council Thursday evening, at which all the members of the council were present. v ' Following the reading and approval of the minutes of the mecting of Jan. 11, E. B. Gerber, city civil engineer. presented areport of his work covering the period from his induction into the office in 1892, The report was accepted, as was that of Dr. W. K. Mitchell, secretary of the board of health. ~ City Attorney Hoffman then present‘ed three reports—the first of a general ‘nature, the second on the opening of Sixth street, and the last covering the matter of the Cayin street crossing over the Lake Shore tracks. In the llatter report the attorney stated that he had made a thorough investigation of the records in the matter and was of the opinion that the highway as establishgd by the county commissioners in 1866 was still good in law, and urged that immediate action be taken Ito open the street to the use of the ' pubiic. Attached to the report was a ' resolution compelling the opening and mantaining of a crossing, which after some discussion was adopted by unan'imous vote of the council. In the Sixth street matter the ecity ciyil en'gineer was instructed to establish the north line of the street east from Smith 'street. regarding which there seems to be a difference of opinion. When this is done and a report made the matter fof.o_pening tlie street will be finally settled. : -

A Surprise Party. On last Thursday evening we had the pleasure of attending one of the most complete surprises eyer known. The event was in honor of our friend Wm. Francisco at his residence in Elkhart township. The fortieth anniversary of his birth occurred some time in December and his friends had the arrangements all made to surprise him atthat time but owing to sickness in the family it was postponed until Jan. 25. At about 8 o’clock p. m. torty of his friends, with father and mother Francisco to head the company, marched upon him with out even giving the usual warning at the door and found him enjoying his early evening rest upon the couch without the least thought of being disturbed for the evening and his amazement can be easier imagined than described when George Billings stepped forward and with a ftew very appropriate remarks presented him with a beautiful twenty-five dollar bookcase together -with the well wishes of his friends, the donors. After which the company did ample justice to roast chicken, roast beef, mince pie, cake, cranberry sauce etc. An hour or two later came the exchange of good night, come and see me. The company dispersed feeling that an evening had been spent very pleasantly. T : “The Old Apple Tree!” This beautiful waltz song, composed by Miss Ollive Netz, of Bellaire, Ohio, the latest’'sensation in the east should be in the hands of all lovers of sweet songs.
