: . o - a 0 ol The Figonier Banner, THE BANNER PUBLISHING COMPANY : J. E, McDONALD, Editor. : e - 'THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1894. At WasHINGTON last Monday Hon. Alfred H. ,Colquitt, United States genator from Georgia, died after a long illness, ~He was an able man and a brilliant speaker. ’ i For eight months of the present fiscal year the revenues from whisky, beer and tobacco have declined $12,000,000, or $1,500,000 & month. This illustrates "how the consumption of these articles is affected by the hard times. _ TaE Washington labor bureau recently estimated that there were 5,860 building associations in the United States, represented 1n thirty or more states; that the number of shareholders in these associations was 1,655,456, and that the net assets amounted to $496,928,405, which would represent about. $3OO apiece for every shareholder. - BRECKINRIDGE may escape a verdict against him on a pitiful, disgraceful technicality of a secret marriage before he made his public promise to marry Madeline Pollard, his victim. But all the waters of Lethe cannot ‘wash the black spots from -the honored name ot the Breckenridges with- which he has besmeared it.—New Albany Ledger. WHILE in Washington the other day John B. Elam, of Indianapolis, former ly the law partner of ex-President Har--rison, was asked, *ls there any talk in Indiana of-having Mr. Harrison to lead the party in 18967 and he replied: ‘“None that I have heard. No suggestions of his candidacy haye emanated from any reliable source, and I think what has been said originated in the gossip of the newspapers.”’ ’ | = | THERE seems to be considerable concern among certain individuals as to the course that may be taken by this paper under certain contingencies,” In the past THE BANNER has been supporting democratic candidates pretty regularly while some of the fellows who are now talking go glibly of party ‘ loyalty and straight %{mocracy were ‘openly knifing the regular democrati(-} nominees or insisting upon their price for party fealty. L THE people have about wearied at the boy’s play in the case of assassin Prendergast and the efforts of a few second-class Chicago lawyers to gain a little cheap advertising and questionable ‘notoriety by prolonging the life’ of the condemmed murderer. He was given a fair trial, found guilty and should hang. Itis just such foolishness and nonsensical delays as ‘is -witnessed in this case that mackes lynch law popular and sometimes expedient. THE LaGrange Democrat comes to the defense of juries that will not convict men charged with crimes against the fish laws. It says these Scotch verdicts are right. What it means by this is a little obscure as there were no doubts about the fact being proven. There was not, nor could there be any such a verdict as ‘‘not proven’ in this case, If this law Is to be nullified in Northern Indiana why not others that are not to the liking of certain individuals? : ‘ A LARGE colony of settlers from the northwest recently located near Punta Gorda, Fla., and another colony has purchased land near Kissime. The rapid development of the southern portion of Florida-s thus noted by the Jacksonyille Times-Union: ‘‘Ten years ‘ago the tide of immigration had scarcely reached further than the head of nayigation of the St. Johnsriver. Now’ nearly every part of the state is accessible and being rapidly settled. The next census will ‘show nearly threequarters of a million of people in the state.”’ P

LAsT week the rolling mills over the country started up, the Illinois Steel company at Chicago putting on over 4,000 men. All the departments of the Pennsylvania works at Steelton, Pa., started up on the 20th, giying employment to 4,000 men. The Lebanon rolling mili, East Lebanon rolling mill and the Lebanonlron Co.’s mill, all at Lebanon, Pa., starteM on the 19th, employing 3,200 men. The Pioneer knitting mill and the Lee Manufacturing Co.. knitting mill, at' Amsterdam, N, Y., have resumed with 1,850 employes. The Crown Woolen Mill Co., the largest of its kind in central New York, resumed at Marcellus, N.' Y., the 19th. - . o

A QUEER discovery has been-made by government engineers engaged ‘in surveying the upper Missouri river. The work has been completed as far down the stream as Atchison, Kan., and it was found that there is a larger volume of water in the upper reaches of the river than in some of the lower. For instance, at Great Falls, Montana, the volume of water was found to be 4,796 cubic feet per second; while only twenty-five miles further down, at Fort Bentoh; it was but 4,331 cubic feet. The engineers say that eyeless fish have been caught along this stretch of twenty-five miles, and the theory. is that there is an opening there into that great subterranean body of water known as the South Dakota artesian basin, the existence 6f which has long been asserted. s -

THE Minnesota capital building is to be fashioned after Indiana’s capitol at Indianapolis. . The Minnesota committee inspected it and reported fayorably saying it was the finest visited. If our northwestern neighbor is as fortunate in getting honest construction and as substantial a building the people of Minnesota are to be congratulated. - DisPATCHES from Washington indicate that Martin Vanßuren Spencer has-gained the enmity of several In«diana congressman in his treatment of their claims upox{ him for patronage. Congressman Taylor-of the First district threatens to talk out in meeting and reveal some of the inner workings of Spencer’s canyass whil¢ in Washington fighting for the place. ACCORDING to Washington specials President Cleveland has assured members of the senate finance committee that he approves the tariff bill agreed upon and reported by them on the 20th. He is entirely satisfied with the sugar schedule and also approves the income tax fedture. In his opinion it is of the utmost importance that the tariff question be settled as speedily as possible, in order to givé business a chance to.revive and recuperate. IT 18 PRETTY well settled that Congressman Hammond will not be renominated, and Bynum of the Indianapolis district is aiso pretty sure of being deteated. Jason B. Brown, of the New Albany district is already as good as beaten, and Martin of Bluffton will be knocked out. Conn has de clined a'renomination and with other districts to hear from it is evident that the next congressional delegation from this state will be considerably changed. THE imports of sugar into the United States during the fiscal year 1893 reached a value of $102,108,587. Cuba sent $60,637,631 of this amount; Puerto Rico $3,288,532; Germany $9,475,615; Brazil $2,054,201; and the British West Indies $9,487,434. All those countri'es have reciprocity arrangements with the United States, and if these arrangements continue in force and their sugar remains free of duty, the amount subject to duty under the new tariff, as amended by the senate, will be only about 15 per cent. of the grossimports. A comMIrTEE of the House of Representatives has voted to report a joint resolution for a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. The senate contains a large number of men, and they are not its best members, who could ‘never have been elected by the popular yote of their states. The proposed amendment would do more to restore the good name and ancient fame of the senate than any other single step. The people are the safest depository of political work, | WiTHIN the past week two remarkavle cases have beé{ reported. = At Massilon, Ohio, a conyicted murderer attempted to commit suicide rather than go to prison for life, and at Fort Wayne on Saturday, Martin Hawley, who had been convicted theday before of murdering his mother, implored Judge O'Rourke to change his sentence from lfe imprisonment to that of death. He said that he would much rather be hung than go to prison for life. In these cases the jurors seem to haye found the way to inflict the worst punishment. v ‘

THERE is a backwardness upon the pP.rt of some men to assume the duties and responsibilities of the mayoralty and other local offices: They must be filled and good men should be chosen and good men should not refuse when drafted into the service. Ex-Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, has accepted election as a member of the council of his town of Bellefonte. After the late William Bigler had been governor of the state and United States senator he became a school director in -his town and attended to the business of the office with enthusiasm, =~ 1

CoNGRESSMAN CONN of the Thirteenth district, takes a sensible view of the situation when he declines to make the race for re election. He is an astute politician and don’t propose to stake his political future upon the outcome of the coming election. That he has made enemies in his distribution of patronage is admitted by his best friends, but he has been exceptionally fortunate in the settlement of many vexatious questions of party policy. A new man will be stronger ab the right one can get the individual support of the party which. means a good deal just at this time. = 1‘

"For SsEvERAL YEARS Col. Breckenridge has been posing as a hich-minded ‘and consistent church man, one who ‘could not countenance the liberality of Dr. Briggs, and it was his eloquent address that is said to have turned the tide in the Presbyterian conference }against the modern idea of Presbyterian liberalisimm. In the face of his protestations and the proofs advanced of his conduct toward Miss Pollard he ishould at once resign his seat in | con'gress. He is a reflection upon his state, a dishonor to his party and a reproach to his church. The Cleveland Plain Dealer well and truly says: *‘The ‘silver tongued orator of Kentucky' was careful to conduct his iiason with a ; girl who had neither father nor brother to ayenge her wrongs. Had it been otherwise Col.. Breckenridge would be occupying 2 casket at the present time }instead of serviag hjs state in th(% halls of the national congress. Where is the lcoldnel’s boasted southeru chivalry?”

. TrE New York Tribune’s long-time London correspondent, Mr. Georze W, Smalley, contributes to the April Harper’s an article on the House of Lords, which he calls, “The English Senate,” the sole check upon the legislative supremacy of the House of :Commons. In view of the clamor for the abolition of the Lords, Mr. Smalley’s able, presentation of the conservative side of the case is interesting and timely. For MANY YEARS Indiana had the reputation of being the ‘great diyorce producing state of the union. Later, howe_ver,v South. Dakota made a bid for this class of business by the enactment of liberal laws, but now comes Oklahoma with claims upon this business that will paralyze the northern lawyers. A circular recently sent out by a firm of lawyers at Guthrie, Oklahoma, makes a.big bida for clients. Among the many adyantages the circular enumerates: ‘‘Guthrieis justthe place for a man or.woman who wants a divorce with neatness and dispatch.” ““Persons of social standing can always find congenial company and be entertained in royal style.”” <‘Oklahoma has the most glorious climate in the country.”” “The proceedings will be entirely private.”” ‘“The’defendant need know nothing of what is going on,” ete. : ' ' HoN. JonN B. StoLL well says that one of the most unpleasant features connected with the newspaper business is the petty jealousy so often exhibited in towns haying more than one newspaper. The idea has become prevalent that publishers and editors of rival newspapers must necessarily hate one another and on all possible occasions undermine, deride, belittle, traduce and malign ‘‘the other fellow.” Happily there are some localities where this degrading notion does not preyail. A pleasing illustration of this fact is furnished by the New Albany Ledger, which thus cleverly refers to the editor of the ‘“‘otber paper:” ‘‘The Republicans of Floyd county have instructed their'delegates to the state-convention to vote as a unit for Gen, Jasper Packard, editor of the New Albany Tribune, for secretary of state. There is not a man in the republicad party in Indiana more worthy of, or more entitled to, the nomination ke seeks than Gen. Packard, and his nomination would be creditable to that party and give to it one among the best stump speakers in this state. Gen. Packard is a gentleman of spotless reputation as well as of masterly ability.” ; Argexatine's Wheat Crop. The wheat crop of 1893 in,the Argentine Republic is the largest on record, being an average of about fourteen bushels to the acre. The increase in wheat farming in Argentine is such as to properly excite some apprehension in the grain districts of the United States. In 1850, 120,000 acres were under cultivation, which produced 30,000 tons of 'wheat; in 1860, 160,000 acres produced 40.000 tons: in 1870, 240,000, acres produced 60,000 tons;%n 1880, 490,000 acres produced 120,000 tons; in 1890, 2,800,000 acres produced 900,000 tons and in 1893, 6,100,000 acres produced 1,920,000 tons.—Chicago Record. ) Handbills vs, Newspapers - A newspaper has 5,000 readers for every 1,000 subscribers.” A merchant who puts- out 1,000 handbills gets 300 to 500 people to read them—that ig, if the boy who is trusted to distribute them does not chuck them under a side walk. The hand bill costs as much as a half ‘column advertisement in the home newspaper. All the woman and girls, and half the men and boys read -the -advertisements. Results—-the merchant who uses the newspapers has 3,500 more readers to each 1,000 of its paper readers. There is no estimating the amount of business that advertising does bring to the merchant, but each dollar invested in adyertising brings to the investor from #lO to $5O worth of busines, there can be no doubt.—Exchange. ' A Comedy in Two Acts. i | LosTt His BENJAMIN. —W hile in. Ligonier yesterday, Senator Vail lost his overcoat, valued at $35.. He left the garment in the hotel while he transacted business about town and upon returning about train time 1t could not be found. Among all the coats ‘that were left the Senator could not recognize his own or find one even as good as the missing coat, and after lingermg around until bhis train whistled without being able to arouge anyone about the house, he ran for the station and parely caught the tramn. From the rear platform he shouted his loss to the hotel keeper and hopes for the best results. The coat was either stolen or taken out of the hotel by mistake.-—' Goshen News, Thursday. - ¢ Founp His BENJAMIN. —The $35 overcoat which escaped from Senator Vail at a Ligonier hotel Tuesday night has been recovered. The joke is on the Senator because the coat was not his own but belonged to his partner, E. D. Saulsbury. It came about through leaving the office in some haste to take the train and getting hold of the wrong coat, and when he ledt it at the hotel and returned for it he could not recognize any ‘-ear marks’ so he concluded it had been stolen. E. D. Saulsbury went down to Ligonier yesterday morning to look the matter up and was surprised to. find his own coat occupying a peg in the hotel cloak room.—Goshen News, Friday.

~ Current Politics. Strange as it may seem, nearly one= half of the saloon keepers at Fort Wayne are Republicans and they are active in their hustling and work for: their party. ' - W. A. Jackson, formerly of this city, is being talked about for councilman in his ward at Goshen. . Mr. Jackson is ,a{ first class citizen and would make a sterling official. - i The:Republicans at Fort Wayne have nominated -C. 8.. Oakley for mayor and have placed a full ticket in the field. Hels a popular merchant and will make a strong race. Quite a number of John Kinnison’s friends have:been booming him as a suitable candidate for fharshal and it is said that his name will be presented at the democratic caucus. It is reported that the date tor the republican city convention has been settled upon and that it will be I'uesday, April 2. No time has yet been pickea for the democratic meeting. Hon. David Leeper, mayor of South Bend, is being talked about as a congressional candidate in the Thirteenth district.- He is a popular Democrat of the old school and would doubtless make a strong candidate. - : J. C. Beck. sr.;7of Goshen, who was appointed assistant superintendent of the Indian school at Genoa, Neb., has concluded that.a position as traveling salesman in Indiana is preferable to teaching Indians in Nebraska. Among the newly named candidates for marshal on the republican ticket are Thos. J. Simmons and Thos. Wagner. They are being talked up by their republican friends and their names will be predented at the caucus. Jason Ramsby, well known in this city as a former resident of the Hawpatch, is out again as a candidate for city marshal at Goshen. Jason has had designs upon this office for several years and this is his third attempt. . : : J. D. Weatherford has been appointed assessor of Wayne township, vice J. E. Walters resigned. He has appointed B. R. Sheffer deputy to do the work in the country. Both . gentlemen are thoroughly competent and will no doubt give satisfaction. - We are told that James Furguson will be a candidate for the democratic nomination for marshal. He would make an excellent officer, is a first-class Democrat and a popular citizen. He will doubtless haye a substantial following in the conyention, .

It 18 now semi-officially announced that the bosses have settied upon Dr. W. K. Mitchell as the republican candidate for mayor. 1f the doctor is the man he will be nominated as the “‘leaders’’ hardly ever make a mistake. He would make a strong candidate. James Bunyan, who has just completed a four-years term as postmaster of Kendallyille, offers himself as candidate for the republican nomination for auditor of Noble county. Mr. Bunyan has evidently cultivated a strong tasté for official ‘‘pap,”’—South Bend Times. It is strange but true that the La'Grange Democrat seems to be in earnest about its support of Andy Ellison for judge. At first we thought it was’ only a little ‘‘horse play’’ upon the part of Fawcett, but indications point his sincerity.. Will wonders never cease? The DeKalb county Demo'rats have organized by electing John Shuman chairman, A. B. Kelly vice-chairman, and John Koong treasurer, all of Waterloo. The organization is a very ‘good one and all are clean men. The county convention will be held at Waterloo June 9. | Andrew Ellison, the oldest lawyer in LaGrange county-and a man noted for his striking peculiarities, has been suggested for the Elkhart-LaGrange circuit judgeship. Under ordinarily favorable circumstances Andy would probable come within 2,000 votes of an election.—South Bend Times, il The Democrats at' Kendallville heldtheir convention last Friday evening and nominated the following ticket: Mayor, Herman Kreuger; treasurer, Banner R. Sheffer; clerk, Oliver Stout; councilmen, first ward, Henry Aman and Fred Holzer; second ward. W. H. Gappinger; third ward, Dr. N. Teal. It is a strong ticket. : Jackseh D. Orr, who is one of the police commissioners that has caused the big “hub bub’’ in Denver, was formerly a resident of Albion and was at one time a candidate for county clerk on the republican ticket, He was deputy clerk, but soon after his defeat he went west. Orr and the governor are both Republicans and it is a family fight. Those Democrats who are taking a lugubrious yiew of the democratic outlook in the state would better raise their eyes from the ground to the breaking of the dawn and be prepared to greet the fullness of the day. The party isn’t crippled, wasn’t even hurt, and the superb ' organization that swept the state for Cleveland can re peat it this year. Wake up, be hopeful—be Democrats.—Fort Wayne Journal. sl

‘The Kendallville Republicans held a caucus last Thursday evening and from the vote cast for the respective candidates 1t was largely attended. The ticket nominated is as follows: Mayor, James Graves; clerk, H. C. Bower; treasurer, John Haas; marshal, J. W. Berhalter; counecilmen, flrst ward, Dr. W. S. Williams and W. M. Cushing; second ward, G. W. Hartsuck; third ward, C. C. Beyer. The ticket is said to be a strong one. ‘ Congressman Conn of the Thirteenth district has delermined not to be a candidate for re-election. In a letter addressed to Hon. J. B. Stoll of South Bend, Mr. Conn says: ‘‘After carefully considering the situation, 1 haye decided not to be a candidate for renomination. It is not neceesary for me to make any explanation, but I desire to sincerely express my gratitude to you for the support you gave - my election and the friendly manner with which you have treated my conduet in congress.”’ The Indianapolis News says seyeral republican candidates for state office have received from a northern county delegate to the state convention notice that he will be for them in case his expenses are paid. The letter says in cubstance that the man does not know why he was appointed a delegate, as he is not an aspirant for any office, and does not see why he can not be for the candidate in case he comes to the convention. He then announces that his expenses to the convention two years ago were about $3O, and that they will probably run as high this yvear. He says that unless his expenses are paid he will not be able to come. As there are over forty candidates he could, if this s)la_,n would work successfully, get not less than $1,200

for ‘expenses’” to the convention. Several candidates have been in the city this week comparing potes as to the thrifty delegate, and they say his ‘‘expenses’’ to the convention will not be paid. Both state and county candidates say there never was such a demand on candidates for money. A candidate for state office said that he could not'believe there were so many members of . his own \party ‘‘on the make.”’ ; Not One of Coxey’s Army. : ; Capt. Wm. Barney was seen regarding the report that he was going to join Coxey’s great march and says there is no truth in the report, the notice of yesterday being the first intimation he had receiyed on the subject. The captain thinks Col. Scott of Fort Wayne is responsible for the rumor, as he has forwarded to Col. Bryant all the names of the old army captains of Indiana who are to bave command of all the Indiana companies. Howeyer, Mr. Barney says he has been asked for transportation to Massillon by a number of people by letter. The Coxey army may march but will not be eraced by the presence of Capt. Wm. Barney—Elkhart Truth. _ - Notice, Don’t give pictures to agents. Hower, Goshen’s leading photographer, has connected with his studios alarge copying and enlarging department.
