m' Yy o @ i Te Fimanicy @mxer.l MRI e THE BANNER PUBLISHING COMPANY J.E, MeDONALD .Editor. . THURSDAY. APRIL 16. 1896. THERE are several Whitley éonnty politicians that belong to the rule or ruin gang—always got an ax to grind and are eyer looking for some one to furnish the power. Political debts are often available assets.

Tak total vote cast in the primary election at Fert Wayne last Thursday was nearly 5,000 of which Scherer, the nominee for mayor, received nearly two-thirds. It does notlook as if he would be an unpopular candidate.

~ Tag Fort Wayne Post, which has had the name of James M. Robinson at its head as a candidate for congress and has been posing as a democratic paper, also refuses to support the democratic candidate for mayor—this, too, in the face of the 3,000 votes receiyed by the successful candidate,

INDICATIONS point to the possible nomination of 'Hon. Jas. A. Mount for governor by the Republicans. Good guessers say that the race is_between Doxey and Mount. If we are to have a republican governor the interests ot our state will not suffer in the, hands of either of these gentlemen. Mr. Mount is wel]l fitted for the position both in natural and acquired ability.

AT FORT WAXNE last Saturday Hon. Louis J. Bobilya was nominated for joint senator for the counties of Allen and Whitley over three other candidates, two of whom were from Whitley county. Mr. Bobilya is a geed Democrat, a splendid fellow and will doubtless make an excellent representative of Allen county’s interests, but in all fairness and right the nomination belonged to Whitley county and should have gone to one of the candidates from that county.

ACCORDING to the Statesman’s Year ‘Book, the Dominion of Canada contains 8,470,257 square miles. The area of the United States including Alaska is 1,501,410 square miles. Of this area, there are 531,410 square miles in Alaska, much of which is almost unknown land, but as the same is true of the large part ot the northwest territory in British America, the two countries are, in this respect about equal. Most people will be surprised at this statement, the general impression being that the United States embrace considerable more territory than Canada.

. A FEATURE in the Raines liquor tax law which 18 just beginning to attract attention in New York is section 38, which imposes a fine of $5OO on the district attorney for each and everycase in which he shall neglect or retuse to perform his duty under the provisions of this act. At present there are four thousand such cases, and Col, Fellows is told that he may be called on to pay $2,000,000 if he does not push these® to trial at once. If he neglects or refuses to perform his duty he may also be removed from office by the governor. The same law applies to eyery district attorney in ‘the state.

. I'me Fort Wayne Sentinel in a recent issue published a number of editorials from republican papers commending the stand of that paper in refusing to support the democratic pominee for mayor. We should think that in all honesty the Sentinel should bhaye told its readers the politics of these papers; or was the editor ashamed to own that his only commendation comes from republican sources?. 'T'hese seli-same republican papers who praise so highly the independence of the Sentinel were never known to desert a republican candidate, question an action of the party or praise a democratic candidate. THE Fort Wayne Sentinel refuses to support the democratic candidate for mayor and advises the re-election of the present republican incumbent, - Mayor Oakley. Two years ago the - Sentinel-gave the democratic candidate a half hearted support, but now it goes back upon -the ticket. Mr, Hackett has for a number of years been of the opinion that like Grover + Cleyeland he is just a little bit better than his party and the Sentinel, built up by democratic support and demo cratic patronage, has been slowly assuming an independent attitude. He goes upon the principle adopted by - many men who have been greatly favored at the hands of the party, that ‘the majority is right when it goes their way but absolutely wrong when they are in the minority. Tae United States supreme court has rendered a decision which is based on that clause of the federal constitution which provides that ‘‘full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the judicial proceedings of eyery ‘other state,”’ in accordance with which ‘lt is now declared by the lﬂgnest judicial authority in the land that people ~under the ban of divorce in one state, who have been married in another ~ state are criminals and can be arrested for bigamy. The decision illegitimatizes their children. The court de_cree prohibiting a guilty husband or wife from remarrying during the life of -the other party will hereafter hold ~ good as a prohibition in all the states, ‘Wm"'*‘fmﬁ: Is unlawful in the state where the divorce is granted - it now becomes unlawfal in every

It MAY HAVE BEEN good politics for the Kendallville convention to dodge everithing but the nomination of a candidate, but we don’t think that it redounds much to the credit of the leaders in this district that no expression of the people should be allowed. It looks as if certain interests were afraid things would not go their way,

Just for an object lesson: Under McKinley tariff an Elwood, Indiana, tinplate factory was a four mill plant, 800 men, $3,000 pay roll. One year after the Wilson tariff came on the same mill was enlargéd to a 16 mill, 21 stack plant, 1,350 men, 15,000 boxes per week. pay roll $55,000. Now the stockholders haye ordered it expanded 15 per cent. Per contra, while the 160 tin plate works in the United btates are working just as successfully, South Wales, the home of the industry, 250 mills are idle and from these formerly our country got its supply. Do you see any thing in such an object lessonP—Goshen News,

A GEORGIA paper tells of a ‘‘fine looking young woman’’ of that state— Miss Annie Dennis of Talbottom—who has a genius for farming. Sbe owns an estate of 1,000 acres, which she cultivates with great skill and success, conducting a stock farm, a dairy, a cannery, a preserving establishment, a vineyard, a wine distillery and a piggery, all prosperous to a high degree, Miss Dennis is public-spirited and exhibits her products at eyery fair and exhibition, She began the work eight years ago and in seven years has carried off nearly a hundred prizes.. She makes a special study of the application of science, particularly chemistry, to her fields of industry and utilizes every new idea that promises to be of service. :

STOLL’S OPINION OF THE EVASION

In its report of the proceedings of the congressional convention held at Kendallville last Tuesday, the Columbia City Post says: ‘‘lt was conceded that the nomination should ge to Mr. Robinson. He had no opposition. Some interest, however, was felt in regard to other matters. A rumor had gone forth that an effort would be made to get an expression of the convention on the money question. While the delegates differed in their views on this question, they very wisely concluded to let the state and national cenventions outline the policy of the party. Othérwise there were no differences and the convention was a harmonious and business-like aftair.’’ The plain meaning of this is that in order to ayoid the contest on the money question, an arrangement had to be made to preyent any sort of expression on any of the live issues new engaging public attention. This ‘may have been the most eflicacious method to be thought of for the preservation of ‘harmony,”” but before many weeks shall have passed oyer the heads of the managers it will probably be impressed upon their minds that the supression of public opinion at home in the hope of having some soothing doctrine made up at Indiana‘polis or Chicago is the very poorest policy that eould have been adopted. If there ever was a time when honest and well directed efforts should be made to formulate a declaration of principles upon which Democrats can agree and unite that time is now. The common people are very much in earnest on the money question and they will be heard—if not in one way, surely in another. The ostrich act cannot be successfully played this year. Vital'questions can’t beignored; can’t be brushed aside. The lines are sharply drawn between Wall street and the industrial forces of this great country.—South Bend Times,

An Interesting Conference. Yesterday (Friday) a very interesting conference was held in the parlors of Mrs. Joel P. Hawks of this city of the cabinet of the Goshen District Epworth League. The officers of this organization are: Miss Margaret Wilson, ‘Elkhart, president; Miss Mabel Hawks, Goshen, Ist yice president; Messrs. George Morgan, Elkhart, 2d vice president; Herbert Sisterhen, Ligonier, 3d vice president; George K. Wilson, Rome City, 4th vice president; Mr. Stewart; Elkhart, secretary; Miss Effie Williams, Kendallville, treasurer; Miss Ball, Mishawaka, superintendent of Junior League work; Frank Stump, Goshen, and Miss Fannie Dennis, Nappanee, executive .committee. Reverends Jackson of Elkhart, Preston and Sawyer of Goshen were invited to be an adyisory committee.—Goshen News. ; The State Senateorship, At Kendallyille, many democrats asked us, why a state senator for Noble and DeKalb was not nominated at that meeting, as had usually been done. The reason is, that Noble county had not selected her delegates. DeKalb hag selected hers, but there seems to be a disposition to wait, as the nomination is an important one, and will require a strong man to make the race. All this was talked oyer and the general opinion was that DeKalb county would select the man. And the man most spoken of was Hon. S. S. Shutt, as it 1s believed his high character and well known ability and popularity, would insure a successful election. 'He would certainly carry DeKalb, and we believe he could carry Noble. Such men as he are needed 1n the state assembly, but. we have not learned whether he would, or would not, accede to the general wish and make. the race. We should be glad to hear from him on this .very important subject.—Auburn ‘Courier. : "' We can’t understand how the astute editor of the Courier got the idea or mnformation that our senatorial delegates had not been selected. They have been named and are ready to attend the senatorial eonyention when it is held, which will be settled by Mr. Fredericks, chairman of the DeKalb county committee; and Mr. Showalter of this county. : : Low Rates to Cleveland, Ohio, On April 29 and 80 and M.iﬂl and 12 the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway will sell tickets to ?léy'eland and return at one fare for he round trip, account General Conference M. 4. church, Tickets will be good 5 days for return, with privilege of extension to June 2d by depositing hom wit ko Joint tiket agent 1n Dieiend.’ o g | Worle's Far Wighest Avard.

Statistics as to Wheat.

Of the 1,016 townships in the state about 600 have furnished the Indiana burean with some statistics as to wheat and the result is a marked falling off, both in ayerace and condition as compounded with last ‘year, from this gection. The average is 90.6 per cent, of last year with an average condition of 83.8 per cent. while in central state the average is 90.7 per cent and the condition 76.4 per cent. and in the southern the acreage is 89.8 per cent. with an average condition ot 64.7 per cent. making a general average for the whole state of 70.4 in acreage and 74.7 in condition, the cause of which is the long dry spell of last autum which left the plant in a weak condition, which with alternate freezing and thawing weather has produced the deterioration as above recited in ‘condition.

‘Will Give the Value,

The Albion New Era has the following list of the new assessors and deputies who will make the assessments for the year: Washington township—George S. Bouse, Wilmot. :

Sparta—Wm. O. Kober, Cromwell; D. S. Hoverstatt, deputy. - Elkhart—Chas. W. Gill, Wawaka. York—John Black, Albion. Noble--Geo. W. Lindsley, Merriam. Green—Edwin Matthews, Green Center. o

Not So Desirable as Might Be.

Both the Goshen. News and Goshen Times are-much elated over the fact that fifty cans of white tish spawn were emptied 1n Lake Wawasee near Syracuse, the former dwelling on the gaminess of the white. fish, ete. Itis gsafe to predict that the rose hued hopes will turn to barren realities when those fish get larger and the only ones that will profit by the introdue: tion of these fish will be the users of nets.and the fish that find ample food in the white fish spawn, This is the experience at Diamond lake and other lakes. There‘is a tradition at Diamond lake that a white fish was once caugnt with a hook and line, but 1t has never been sifted down to the catcher thereof. White fish have a very tender mouth, hence a hook has no hold upon them. Fishermen who ply hook and line at Diamond lake have always regretted that white fish were eyer put there. They afford too much food for the other fish.—South Bend Times.

A DBad Blaze.

Last Friday morning at about 3 o’cioek, the Gerber building in which is located the electric light plant and the Stutzman Manufacturing Co., was discovered on fire, the flames having already gotten a good start. {l'he fire was first noticed by the trainmen on “the west bound passenger train due at 2:40) and the alarm was soon given, but it was several moments before enough help was at hand to get the hose carts to the hydrant near by and it looked at one time as it the whole structure would be gutted as it was filled with inlammable material. The firemen, however, made a gallant fight and the fire was soon under control. but not until that part of the building occupied by the electric light apparatus had been completely gutted and much valuable machinery ruined. The heat was so intense in the dynamo room that wires were melted and all of the inflammable parts of the apparatus burned away. The fire was caused by a crack 1n the brick back wall of the boiler setting,. The crack was directly back of a wooden door frame and was completely hid from yiew. Aslong as the direct draft was on the fire could not get to the opening, but wheneyer the draft ‘was cut off from the main stack sparks and heat would seek the opening made by the parting of the walls. Mr. Stage says that when time came for shutting down Friday morning a brisk fire was under the boiler and he cut off the draft; this doubtless caused the sparks to lodge against the door casing which was soon in flames. . . The electric light plant owned by Mrs. B. F. Draper and under the management of J. W. Draper has been greatly enlarged during the last few years and contained three valuable dynamos and all of the most modern electrical appliances needed in the operation of the plant. All of the fixtures are injured, one of the dynamos being a complete wreck while the switch board and other appliances are worthless and will have to be replaced, Mr. Draper puts the loss at $4,000 upon which only $2,500 insurance was carried. T'he dynamos are injured and will have to be repaired at great expense, : The bad thing about the fire is the inconvenience and trouble incident to the complete shut down of the plant for six weeks or two months necessary to put the machinery 1n condition to run. Mr, Draper has been trying to replace the injured dynamos but so far has failed to be able to make any satisfactory arrangements. If necessary to replace the dynamos it will be at least six weeks before we will haye any lights upon the atreets but he may be able to start the mercantile circuit in ten days or two weeks, ; L Folder of Information - Of the General Conference M.

Owing to the declination of Jacob Sheets to allow his name to be used as a candidate for councilman in the Second ward, the democrats of the ward are requested to meet at the BANNER office on tomorrow evening, April 17, at eight o’clock for the purpose of nominating another candidate. All of the voters of the ward are requested to be present. J. E, McDoNALD, Committeeman.

The meetings were held in the G. A. R. hall, N. P. Eagles being elected president and J. E. Braden secretary Short speeches were made and the preliminaries for a permanent organization were arranged. Another meeting will be held in this city on Saturday, September 12, 1896, at which time the organization will be perfectedr } Among these present were Capt. J. \E. Braden, Hon. E. B. Gerber, Hon.

The Loss Adjusted. g Mr. Draper, manager of the electric light plant, found it absolutely impossible to make any settlement with the fire insurance adjusters direct and it was necessary to arbitrate the loss, it being agreed that two electrical experts, one to be selected by the companies and the other by Mr. Draper pass upon all disputed points. The company sent M. O. Southworth of Indianapolis while W. J. Ferris of the General Electric Co., of Chicago represented Mr. Draper. These gentlemen after looking oyer the plant reported ih fayor of allowing a damage of $1,159.85;, - .

Mr. . Ferris who represented Mr. Draper says that thisis a very low estimate on the loss and was only made over his protest. It was at least $6OO too low bat Mr. Draper rather than go into any further controyersy in the matter conceded the points so as to be ableto begin to re-organiza-tion of the plant which will be started at once. Much of the machinery will be replaced and Mr. Draper is figuring on putting in a- new plant complete and in doing so will probably purchase an incandescent dynamo. A new engine will be put in.

The Democratic Caucus,

A large number of democrats assembled at City hall last Tuesday evening for the purpose, under the call, to select candidates for councilmen of the several wards of the ecity. The wards were ali well represented and considerable interest was manifested in the work of the convention which was called to order at eight o’clock by Jas. Ferguson, committeeman. Upon motion of A, J. Caldwell and numerously seconded Mayor S. J. Straus was made permanent chairman. J. D. Casey. lgnd_ Sol, Henoch were elected secretaries. After thejorganization of the conyention a motion was made to diyide by wards and select the candidates for council which was agreed to without division. Upon being called to order again the following nominations were reported and unanimously adopted as the nominees of the conyention. : ‘ ~ First ward—John Bussing and Charles Schearer. Second ward—Jacob . Sheets and Richard Sweetoam. ' Third ward—Thomas Kelly and John Cavin. - : The following were selected as committeemen for the several wards: First Daniel Rench, Second, J. E.
