IFr ANYONE imagines that the »deino.eratic party is dead he should carefully ‘read the election returns from all parts of the country. The local battles in the east and the west show that the party of Jefferson is still very much alive and that the fight 18 to be kept up to the last. :

SENATOR VILAS is credited with having expressed the opinion that the adyocates of the gold standard would nominate a ticket of their own in case the Chicago conyention should accept a free silver platform, and place a supporter of that proposition at the ‘head of the ticket.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel gives out the statement that Mayor Tom Taggart, of Indianapolis will be the democratic nomineee for goyernor. Mr. Taggart’s ‘‘positive declination’ which was predicted several weeks ago has not been sent out and it now looks- as if he might head the ticket. No strenger man could be selected.

Ur to this time no one can tell where McKinley stands upon the money question, while nobody could truthfully claim of knowing Mr. McKinley's views and nobody would doubt that he is ready in advance to approve of whatever the republican platform may advocate in regard to it. McKinley is a politician. No one ever accused him of being a statesman.

WoRD comes from Anderson that fourteen shovel 'manufacturers of the country one plant being located at Aunderson, have formed a trust, and haye limited the output for the coming year to 400,000 dozen, The cost of shoyéls has been advancd 20 per cent., and when the full number wanted is made all of the factories will be shut down. This is competition cut off.

THE Fort Wayne Journal isshowing up the hypocrisy of the Oakley administration in that city and incidentially that of the so-called democratic papers that pose as the ‘‘holier than thou”’ preceptors of the party. That the Oakley administration and the Everett side Bhow should be supported by anyone who claims to be a Democrat surprises anyone not acquainted with the sham and hypocrisy of the everage individual who claims to be -better than his party. ‘e

Iy THE eastern markets the opinion is qiite‘prevalent that all the coarser cotton goods will eyentually be made in the southern states, but that the New England and other northern mills can go on prosperously with the finer grades, if not underbid by foreign importations. The Boston Journal recently published much mformation on this subject from the efficers of the mill corporations whose attention had been drawn to the action of the Luwrence Manufacturing Co. of Lowell in giving up the manufacture of coarse cotton cloths, o

THE friends;of honest money as they style themselves, or gold bugs, tell us that if the silver talk could only be stopped we. would see an immediate and unparalleled prosperity—that the silver talk is keeping capitalists from investing money in all kinds of enterprizes such as electric roads ete. ~But the same story has been told before. A little less than two years ago these same authorities assured our people thst all that was needed to insure an era of unexampled prosperity was the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver act. Repeal followed. The “‘era of unexampled prosperity’ is still to come. ‘

THE census of Germany, taken last December, has just Cbeen published. The total population of the empire is 52,244,603. Compared with 41,058,792 in 1871 and 49,428,470 in 1890, this shews a surprisingly large increase, when we consider the enormous emigration. Saxony and other manufacturing states' have gained most 1n population, while Bayaria, Wurtemburg and other distinctly agricultural states have gained the least. There is a tendency in Germany as in this country, “to crowd into the -eities. Town population is everywhere increasing and since 1871, Berlin and Hamburg have doubled the number of their inhabitants. , :

Hoxn, JoaNn W. KEr¥W, of Indianapolis, in sizing up the sentiment on the financial question in Indiana for the New York Journal, says: “‘ln my opinion fully one-half, if not a greater number, of the Indiana delegates t_’.ol the democratic national convention will be for free silver. The only two districts that I regard as certain to send sound money men are the Seventh and Twelfth. This is due to the fact that the silver men have been aggressive, while the sound money men have been temporizing and yery congervative. It is possible that the delegation may be equally divided. . There is no unit of rule in Indiana, and our position is that every delegate should be allowed to yote as he pleases both in the adoption of a platform and in the unomination of _candidates.” e T T DA A - The TIMES-HERALD cigar is a full size, perfecto shape; 10 cents in quality but 5 cents in price.

- Pedestrians Have Rights. | One of our exchanges makes this timely saying: ‘Tliere is one thing that seems to be hard to teach persons driving horses, and that is that sll pedestrians have the right of way at all street crossings, and that ilt makes no difference what the driver’s hurry may be or whether his horses’ tails are plaited or unot or his turnout the most stunning in the land—the law is that the pedestrian, however poorly clad or deliberate, has the right of way, and the driyer must consulf his movements., It would also be well for reckless bicycle riders to learn that their speed on the streets is contrary to the law. Go slow in the streets and remember the pedestrians have the right of way at all street crossings.

Replacing Old Rails

The Lake Shore is replacing all its old steel rails-on the Air l.ine and Western diyisions which are now of the kind that weighs 65 pounds to the yard with 89 pound raiis. Trackmaster Wehnrley of the Kendallville district 18 now putting in his allotment for his season of 1896, Three miles of the north track out of Elkhart and eleven miles ot the track between Millersburg and Wawaka will be renewed and about the same amount will be put in by the trackmaster east of Mr. Wehrley’s jurisdiction and on the western diyision. Last year Mr. Wehrley put in twelve miles of the new steel, between Wawaka and Brimfield and Butler and Edgerton. Tlhe company is using the heavier steel because of the heavier engines used and the increase in the traflic.—Elkhart Reyiew.

Tramps Make Good Hauls

A couple of young fellows, possibly tramps, have been making a tour of the country districts robbing houses and engaging in all kinds of depredations. They are being diligently hunted for by the officers of several counties. Last week they visited several houses between Albion and Fort Wayne, taking what struck their fancy, but traces were lost until Sunday when they again got in their work near Millersburg, entering the residence of William Bollinger where they obtained a revolver, valises, finger ring and a small sum of money. At Jas. Brumbaugh's they ‘got rings, razors and shirts. The next heard of them was near Middlebury were they visited several houses getting considerable cash and clothing. *Ten burglaries have so far been reported.

About Wolf Lake.

Epiror BANNER—In the Goodspeed history of LaGrange and Noble counties, 1882, it 18 stated that the village of Wolf Lake was laid out and the plat recorded in Fort Wayne, in the spring of 1836—prior to the organization of- Noble county. To this statement in the text is appended the following note: “There is some dispute as to when the villare of Wolf Lake was tirst laid out. Nelson Prentiss says it was first laid out in 1832; for he had seen descriptions ot its lots dated a numberjof years before 1846. The record in /l;)e Recorder’'s office (which is but a transcript ot the original one at Fort Wayne) fixes the date as stated in the text. - The editor wrote to the recorder of Allen county and obtained a verification of the date given. Yet after all it Noble county was organized in 1836 and if before that and after 18321 t was attached to LaGrange county, why was the plat recorded at Fort Wayneé? This would seem to imply that Mr. Prentiss is correct. It might have been laid out in 1832 and after a short time abandoned and then relaid out in 1836; but that does not explain why the plat was recorded at Fort Wayne.”’ Now, the historical fact is that all of the Noble county district was never attached to LaGrange. Washington, Noble, Green and Swan were never under the jurisdiction of LaGrange county. ; From a full account of Noble county’s territorial’ relations prior to 1836, prepared for the history now in process of incubation the following is condensed to bring it within proper limits for newspaper publication. The Noble county territory has been attached or included in the following organized counties:

From 1790 to 1818 it was an integral part of Knox county which at first included all ot the present teritory of Indiana, county seat, Vincennes; from 1819 to 1824 attached to Randolph county, county seat, Winchester; from 1824 to 1829, all attached to Allen county, county seat, Fort Wayne;from 1829 to 1831 the south two-thirds to Allen north one-third to Elkhart,county seats respectively, Fort Wayne and Goshen; from 1831 to 1832, the six townships constituting the east half of the territory to Allen; the six western townships to Elkhart; from 1832 to 1836, the rorthern two-thirds, LaGrange southern one-third, Allen.

So, if Wolf Lake was laid out and ‘platted within the first three months of 1832, its proper place for record was Goshen, if late in the year, Fort ‘Wayne. But there seems to be no record of a plat of 1832 in Allen county, and the probability appears to be that no such plat exists of record anywhere. » S. E. A. Albion, April 17, 1896, For Sale.

Joe Drives Them Away.

On Thursday night Marshal Berhalter had quite an execiting time with a gang of hobos in the Lake Shore freight yards at Kendallville. During the day he had ordered a lot of tramps out of town, we learn . from the Sun, and at about 7:30 at night he took a stroll throngh the railroad company’s premises to ascertain if all had shaken the dust of the city and decamped. When near the yards he met Night Watchman Cannon, who informed him that several of them were still loitering about. They had proceded but a short distance until they heard their voices in the darkness and soon located them near the stock scales. The knights were disposed to stand dpon the order of going, and a colloquy ensued. They linally started eastward and. when at the freight house one of the scamps whipped out a revolver and fired two shots at the marshal as a parting salute. The marshal not wishing to be outdone in politeness of this kind let fly from his two-in-hand battery, five shots, one of which brought the hobo down, but did not prevent him from hobbling off. At that time it was not known that the gang had done anything but drink beer and make themselyes generally disagreeable. but Friday morning three cases, one containing men’s shoes, were found a few feet from where the marshal first encountered the hobos. The cases containing the men’s shoes had been nearly emptied and the shoes packed in two sacks which the bums had secured at Park & Son’s lime ware house near by, having emptied the lime out upon the floor. Enough shoes were found to fill the cases except two pairs which they no doubt carried away with them. The shoes had no doubt been stolen from a car attached to a freight train which stood on the track a short time during the eyening. : .

How to Save the Fruit,

The season for spraying orchards and vineyards is at hand and it should be attended to at once.

It is estimated that the apple crop ‘alone in Indiana, in an ordinary year, ‘amounts to, approximately, 3,000,000 bushels. and it is also estimated that at least two-thirds of these would be classed as ‘‘seconds’” in the market, owing to the defects caused by insects and fungi. This means a direct loss to the farmers of the state from this one cause of at least $500,000 annually. The same may be said of all other kinds of fruit to a greater or less extent, so that a set of sprayimng machinery has come to be just us essential to successful fruoit culture as the trees themselves, for it has been thoroughly demonstrated that from 80 to 90 per cent. of the fruit crop can be saved in perfect condition by an intelligent use of the spray pump, and ata cost of not more than 30 to 40 cents per tree. In the application of insecticides it should be remembered that there are iwo classes of insects ‘with which we have to deal; one takes its food by eating the foliage, fruit, etc., while the second class sucks its nourishment from the interior of the stem, foliage or fruit. The tent caterpillar, canker worm and currant worm are familiar examples of the first class, and the plant lice, squash bug, etc, represent the second class. Accordingly insecticides may be divided into two classes viz.: (1) Those which must be taken into the systera before becoming active and which contain more orless arsenic —such as Paris green, London purple and white arsenic, and which should be used at the rate of one pound to 200 gallons of water; (2) those which kill by contact; such as kerosene emulsion, pyrethum, bi-sulphide of carbon, ete. The only precaution necessary here is in the use of bisulphide of carbon, which is very explosiye when brought near the fire. It is used in the destruction of all kinds of grain insects in bing. To these may be added a third class called repellants—those which by their offensive edors prevent egg laying—such as carbolic acid, soft soap, etc., which are applied to the bodies of trees as a preyention against the attacks of borers.

The numerous fungous diseases such as the black rot of grapes, apple scab, plum rot, etc., require a different class of remedies. The one in most general use is the Bordeaux mixture, which is made by dissolving six pounds of sulphate of copper and four poundas of quick lime and adding these to 45 or 50 gallons of water. The first application should be made before any sign of the disease has manifested itself, repeating at intervals of ten or fifteen days. After the fruit has set a combination of Paris green and Bordeaux mixture will be found to serve a double pur pose in destroying both insects and fungi.—Bulletin Purdue University Agricultural kxperiment Station,

Are There Yet. |

Jimmy Hees and Frank Blender went down to Ligonier night before last and got into trouble. They exhibited the instincts of persons bent on having a good time and this is strictly ‘ forbidden in Ligonier. No vyisitor is ever permitted to have a good time in that town if.the residents are aware of it and the town marshal proceeded to ‘make it uncomfortable for the Goshenites. Jimmy Hess is a yery small young man in stature, but he is larger in good humor and when the court said $ll in each case the boys said they would ‘stay it.”’ The officers did not understand the term and took it that it was meant as a determination to stay in jail. Anyway the officers loaded the young men into a carriage and dumped them into the jail at Albion and now if their friends desire to address them by mail they should govern themselves accordingly.—Go shen News.

Prevention of Potato Scab.

If a person were told how he could increase his yield of potatoes with but little. additional labor and that all at one time, so that he could by this extra attention get a larger harvest and a more marketable crop and were convinced that the statement was true, he would not be likely to neglect the advice, Exactly such a piece of information 18 the corrosive sublimate method of treating seed potatoes to prevent scab, '

Potatoes that have a rough spotted snrface would have been larger, if when growing they had been kept free from the germs that cause the scabby spots ard many a worthless potato might have been marketable if it had thus been well grown. If possible- potatoes should be planted 1n ground that was not devoted to root crops the preceding year, and they will then escape the germs that lived over in the soil from the last crop. But in any event germs will be introduced into any hill with the seed tubers at planting tuime unless precaution is taken to first destroy them. For however smooth the tubers look, there are almost always some germs lurking on: their surfaces ready to begin operations upon the young potatoes as soon as they are set. Unless the season 18 very dry or otherwise unpropitious for germs, the crops will suffer from them in the way of smaller and less attractive tubers having a lower market value. . The method of killing the germs and securing a clean crop is very simple and inexpensive and any potato grower who has not yet tried it should not fail to do so the present season. If given a trial it will not be again neglected,

This method has proven to be ali that is claimed for 1t though a half‘ dozen years of trial. It is employed by many of the formost potato growers of the country and has uniformly given satisfaction. Whoever is really desirous of increasing the quality and ‘quantity of his potato crop would| do well to give a fair test. ' ; The following treatment is recommended on the basis of experiments at the Indiana experiment station: ’ Put 2 0z of corrosive sublimate (a poisonous substance that needs to be handled with caution) into hot water in astone or glass vessel,. When dis- | solved put it into a wooden tub or barrel and add water enough to make 15 gallions, Into this put the potatoes ‘mtended for seed and let them re-! main for an hour and a half or twol !hours. After taking out of the bath, cut and plant as usual. The same ‘bath may be used several times, but as it is constantly growing weaker, the potatoes should be left 1n longer, or some fresh solution should be added. Do not use metal yessels and do not leave the material where persons or animais may drink it.—J. C. ARTHUR.

{ - Another New Swindle. . - A swindle which evidently is new in Indiana is being worked with great sticcess in many towns. A woman book agent appears in town and goes from house to house, leaving books for examination. Next day a man calls to see if the books are ‘wanted, and if they are not he takes them away. Usually they are not wanted. A few dayslater the woman ‘agent appears again and on being told that the man has taken away the book weeps copiously, says the villian has been collecting her books all ever town pleads poverty and so on and accepts the proffered compensation. Who Will Enforce the Laws ? The law against fishing with hook and line before the middle of June seems to be a dead letter in all parts of the state. No attempt was made last year to enforce it and probably none will be made this year. Public sentiment is almost unanimously against it, and it illustrates the foolishness of passing a law much in advance of public sentiment. Such laws can never be enforced and juries will not convict under them. We notice the state fish commissioner 1n sending out circulars of instruction erases his reference to this feature of the fish law, but he urges the strict enforcement of the law againt spearing, netting, dynamiting, etc., and calls attention to the fact that 1t is the sworn duty of all road supervisors to enforce the law in all such cases. Instead of expecting the state fish commissioner to Jook after violations of the fish law the thing to do is go after the supervisors and zee that they enforce it. The law is perfectly plain and anybody can tell what it means by reading it.—LaPorte Argus. i : Private Sale. lam about to leave the city and will sell all my household goods. Nothing reseryed.
