THE fellows who are asking nomination upon state and county tickets must go into the fight ready to meet defeat. A candidate that sulks after meeting & better man should not think of going into the scramble for a place. L .

THE Republican bosse§ are just now engaged in a quiet effort towards getting the Democrats of the county into a- snarl.- We belieye that they will fail in their ends for the party will go into the contest of 1898, united and enthusiastic. | :

FrOM ALL appearances the individual who is- engaged in bringing out candidates for county -offices might find it more profitable to give his undivided attention to his own political affairs. We have known men to over reach themselves. t

W ASHINGTON gossip has it that a restrictive immigration bill with an educational clause is likely to pass both houses of congress. Although such a bill might meet some opposition in certain quarters; it would win general approval throughout the country. and the results could not but be beneficial to our laboring classes. The sgonér such a bill becomes a law, the better.

‘CommIsSTIONER EvVANs of the pension ‘bureau is a ‘strong advocate of the - policy of publishing the entire list of persons who draw pensions from the government. He expects that a bill for this purpose will be “introduced in congress when it reassembles in Jan: uary. A recommendation that a list be published was made by the corm: missioner in his annunal report, as he -expressed the belief that it would be particularly valuable for the use of the special examiners in the field. ‘ln 1883 the bureau published a list of pensions~ ers, -but since - that- time ' there have been so. many additions to and eéliminations from it. besides additions ‘granted, etc., so that it is of no practical use at this time. : S

Wy sTILL think that the interestsof the farmers and tax payers can best be subserved- by holding the regular county firmers’ insiituteg in different localities of the county. - It'is not the farmers who attend these meetings, whether they are held in Kendallville. Albion or Avilla, that the appropriation is intended to bepefit. . The man who ought to attend the farmers’ institute js the one who is generally conspicubus by his absence, and with the least excuse finds reasons for not availing himself of the opportunity offered. -He does not understand nor realize the worth of these meetings and will not until he attends one of them. Now these men cannot -be reached by holding the annual meetings at one place, hence we wish to start the ball to rolling. - ;

JUST at present young Leiter, the Chicago wheat king, is occupying more space in the public eye than any other one man. Through the press of the country his praises for shrewdness and business -sagacity are ringing as they have seldom rung before for anye one. Still, it is doubtful if the young man deserves all the advertising he is getting. Shrewd he may- be, and shrewd no doubt he is: but not one in s thousand with the slightest knowls edge of market dealings believes for a ‘moment that young Leiter is the chief engineer in the great wheat movement _ which is keeping Armour and his - friends guessing hard. ~Some older - and more experienced head is at the heim. Leiter is'the front but not the -head of the scheme. Between the bits ~of cereal shrewd observers think they see the hand of James Keene and the shadow of the fingers of & pool of old wheat speculators, who'could not have openly gone into the market them . selves without warning their opponents . and go they selected young Leiter to _ carry out their plans, giving him all the glory but themselves pocketing the NE e e

- Fraxcis E. BAker of Goshen, of t’he! well known law firm of Baker & Miller, | and son of Judge Baker of Indianapolig, will be a candidate before the next\ Republican state convention for supreme judge from the Fifth district. ‘ Mr. Baker is one of the brightest men ! in the profession in/Northern Indiana, l a stanch and active Republicah and a splendid citizen. | The Republicansl seldom nominate such a man as Mr. Baker and we predict that he will have a hard }g‘ht for the place. l

- THE- ,I@;ANAPOLIS -~ NEWS - thus ‘speaks of th® curfew ordinance passéd by the council of that city: *'There is no question as to the beneficial results of curfew laws 1n other cities. The testimony is all one way. We see no reason why Indianapolis’ experience should be different. Indiana is slow in some things. One of .them is 1n 'dealing with her youth. It is only just now that we have had a compuls sory education law. and we have not yet got that law well started. The curfew law works fowards the same d ends as a compulsory education g. There are evidences in Indianapolis every evening of tlie need -of some restraining power to take child~ ren off the street,where the temptations to vice and crime abound. We trust that this curfew ordinance becoming law will be enforced. We have no doubt of Its beneficial effects.”

IHE NEw YOrRK SuN has deciared war on the present pension system. Among the startling charges it makes are that the pension roll is padded beyond all bonnds of endurance, that. more survivors are drawing pensions than there are survivors, that bounty jumpers and deserters, fake widows and orphans, and cheats and swindlers of eyery description are drawing pensious, and that as a result the nation is actually being robbed. Already ‘there are nearly'a million pensioners on the hist, while more than 500.000 applications yet await decision. If these statements be true—and ‘there is every reason’'to believe them —it is high time that a little reform moves ment were inauguarated in the pen-~ sion department. For years our pension system has been the butt of ridicule, and the subject. of wapier thrusts of wit. Comedians have railed at it upon the stage, and the jokers of the press have turned it into many a money making squib. But it is no longer a joke. The finances of our country cannot now)stand a-jest costing millions a Jear. No one begrudg'és a pension to a deserving recipient, but everyone does nsist upon it not bemng given to a.fakir or a sharper.’

. T | Sharp Talk, For the special benefit of republicans who claim that the assertions of the Commercial to the effect that the funds of the republican county central committee—or a portion -thereof —were appropriated by some members of the committee, are false, we wish to state that if they will take the trouble to call at our office we can show them uncontrovertible proof that one hundred dollars was collected at one time from Hon. L.. W. VKelker, republican nominee for judge, bv ap outside party and a member of 'the executive com mittee and were never 'turned into the treasury of the committee. Or, if as some allege, we are to be arrested fof crimimnalfibel, they may prefer to wait and see us knock ’em out in the first round, with plenty of ‘‘knocken’ left for therest. Come on. We are ready. But listen! We are'to be taken 'way down to Indianapolis to be tried before the. U. S. circuit gfiourt. Oh, dear! How alarmingly sad. Golly, how we're’‘skeered.”’—Columbia City Commereial. §

The Markets. CaicaGco, Dec. 27.—The general financial and commercial situation at the close of the year is all that the most sanguine believers in better times could wish. - R Stocks. bonds and securities of all sbrts are on a much higher plane of values than was the case a short time ago, while our greatest cereal, wheat, has for three years been maintained at a price not before reached in five years. The result 18 that the farmers of the west have been enabled to market th&ir crops so advantageously that that they are no longer in financial straits and their prosperity has been diffused through the whole commerecial world in the shape of increased manufactures and trade. .The wheat option for December. now expiring. .remains close to a dollar a "bushel, the price today being 99 cents, while May wheat commanded 94§. These high prices are in themselves encouraging but a still greater cause for congratulation is that they have been in effect for several months and there seems no prospect of a decline in the immediate future. Corn is also appreciating in value, May selling today. at 30} and provisions while not particularly active are firm and in good demand.
