THE SAILOR’S CONSOLATION.
NE night came on a hurricane, The sea was mountains rolling, ‘When Barney Buntline turned his quid And said to Billy Bowling: - *A strong nor’wester's blowing, Bill. Hark! .Don’t ye hear it roar now? o Lord kelp "em, how I pities all Unhappy folks on shore now! “Poolhardy chaps who live in towns, What danger they are all in And now lie quaking in their beds, For fear the roof shall fall in! Poor creatures, how they envies us And wishes, I've a notion, For our good luck in such a storm To be upon the ocean!

The fight is }ust begun. The nomination of Tom Marshall will add much strength to the local tickets in the congressional district, but we do "hope that democratic party managers will not get the idea that the coming campaign is to be a walk away and that ‘‘any old yellow dog candidate’ can win. Tom Marshall ecan not win alone. The party must merit a vietory and the best way to bring it about is to strengthen our local tickets at every point. Two years ago we saw what boodle and bossism would do in Noble county. The people will not vote for any one who has this taint, and we know that the Democrats will be quick to resent it. The republican party. intrenched in power, will not allow any opportunity to pass. They will not falter in the fight to retain their hold on the reins of government, and it will take a united and militant party to dislodge them. No man should be nominated for any office just because he wants to make the race and is willing to spend his money for the nomination, bnt because his nomination will add strength to the ticket, attract the independent voter and be a credit to the party if elected. . ‘ ® R 2R The choice of the Democracy of the state for its standard bearer fell upon the man who of all the list of éandidates would best serve the people and the state. He is the best expression of the intelligence, the honor, the —rectitude of life, the practical wisdom needed in an executive, and which the public has a right to expect of its governor. Mr. Marshall is a lawyer of distinction, acquainted by profession with the requirements for making legislation effective. It is a mistaken notion that a governor should not be a lawyer. Of all men exeoutive officers of a state should be fully versed in the laws thatthey may avoid blunders in suggestion and errors in effort to enforce. Mr. Marshall is a man of clean record, a conservative but progressive citizen, a man of high personal character, an orator of ability and convincing power. The Democracy did well in its ultimate selection of candidate for governor.—Elkhart Reyiew (Rep.). : *R® kxR " _ A whole lot of the fellows in the district who have spent a good share of their time in the past abusing Tom Taggart and other Democrats who _ were his friends, are just now admitting that Mr. Taggart isallright. : They _know that Mr. Taggart had more than any other one man to do with the nomination of Mr, Marshall,and they will admit that he did theright thing, that he helped to nominate the best man and that it can net help but be to the best interests of the democratic party. How the scales do fall off sometimes! S : : ; - B R ILT € R B Col. C. G. Conn, of Elkhart, was the only candidate for governor who did not grace the democratic state convention with his presence. A seat was reserved for Col. Conn and he was expected to be there, and doubtless would have received an ovation, but he saw fit to stay away much to the discomfiture of his friends. This was the only discordant note of the cenvention. ' ®e® 2R : . About the best thing that we saw after the contest between the democratiec factions in Marion couuty was the headlines of the-Indianapolis Sun, announcing that the ‘“‘lndianapolis News Democrats” had been defeated. The fellows, who are being patted on the back by the republican organ, did not eut much figure anywhere in the democratic convention,and there were many good reasons for it. , . : 22 2 & i The marriage license law in Illinois has brought out incidents unusual, one of which was the marriage of two paupers, who had not money eénough for the license. The Chicago Journal says: : ' The prospective bridegroom explained that they did not have money enough to pay for one, but he wanted to get married because that was the day set before he lost his job. Then the sympathetic policemen went into their pockets and contributed $lO, the marriage was performed and the couple went away rejoicing. : = _ The policemen and the-judge who performed the ceremony should all be fined for a lack of common sense. Marriage presupposes ability to support the family, and any couple that does not possess that ability and has not even money enough to pay $2 for a license should be prevented from matrimony. The man who can not pull his own weight has no right to take a - passenger into his boat. S - T R*E 2 - P Noting that Berlin in the last year has built more new houses both ab--solutely and relatively than Chicago, the Record-Herald of Chicago says that this illustrates the mad rush of all populations to cities. In our own _country the cities in 1880 held 22.6 per cent of the population; in 1800 they held 33.1 per cent. On this situatign the Record-Herald reflects thus: The time has now come wbenqlt is a matter of duty to deplore and discourage the increase of urban popwation. To take a pridein an overgrown city is now as great a solecism as to congratulate a bloated man on his increasing stature. The mystery of it is that the farms are abandoned at the very time when farming has lost many of its hardships. The farmer now has the delights of the country combined with the comforts and elegancies of the city. He: has the electric car, telephone, rural delivery and the automobile. , - The evil of it is that both country and city are suffering. The crops can not be harvested for want of labor, and the cities are overcrowded with people out of employment, and a much larger number working for starvation wages. If this evil grew out of the concentration of factories in the cities there are signs of a reaction for many manufacturing establishments are deserting the cities for the country. ‘‘Back to the farmi’’ should be the watehword. - : : - . B 88 e 22 2 e Of the state democratic convention the Indianapolis Sun says: “The - convention itself was a fine body of men. No one could see it without feeling that it desired to do its duty, to make the best nominations and to apge‘al fairly and honestly to the people. It was not a brewery convention, not a machine convention, On the contrary it exercised its independent judgement and fairly represented the Democrats of Indiana. No finer body of men has assembled in Indianapolis in state oonvention for years. So the whole impression that it mpade was favorable. With a strong ticket ~ and strong platform, and with a leader who is fearless, and who is also sup- ‘ ported by all factions, the democratic party will make a vigorous fight, The mere fact that Mr. Marshall did nohfo"gmpaign for the nomination and that he is not the product of “*deals’ will do much to strengthen him with the people. The Republicans have their work cut out for them.” 2 " ® R R RS g : Senator L. E. Slack, of Franklin, the defeated democratic candidate for governor, left the democratic state cdnvention last Thursday a bigger and broader man in the estimation of many Democrats thau he entered it. He showed by his course that he is entitled to all that his friends have done - and ‘will do for him. He is a good loeser and this is a trait to be always - admired and one that cannot helpbutwinfriendship and respectfrom the op- ~ position and the applause and admiration of friends.

. DEMOCRACY'SSUPERB LEADER . The Democrats of Indiana will not stop half way in their loyalty to Thomas R. Marshall. This year there is & militant, hopeful Democracy to lead and there is a superb leader for the task. There is a general expectation that Mr, Marshall is going to be elected governor 'and no Democrat will be a laggard in his duty with such a candidate to inspire his party to its best performanees. The Democratic party of Indiana has never committed its standard to cleaner hands nor its cause to a more eloquent tongue. It has never grounded its hope upon a better Democrat and it has never rested its faith in a man who better deserved every flattering econium and every exalted opinion that could be held of him. Mr. Marshall goes forth to the battle with his party splendidly united behind him and carries the prestige of a universal recognition, accorded by his political foes no less than by his political friends, of perfect fitness for the high honors and perfect equipment for performance of the onerous duties of the Indiana governorship. His nomination has come to him clean and unbargained for. lltwas the free and hearty tender of a convention that was impressed by his manhood, his brilliant talents, his splendid abilities and his freedom from every complication and alliance of politics that could cast adoubt ‘upon his fitness or a cloud upon his title to this supreme honor. Mr. Marshall’scandidacy and nomination were marked by ciftumstances almost without pre%edent in the annals of any party in the state. While he was openly and formally a candidate that candidacy has been from first to last receptive. He made practically nocanvass. He sent out ‘no literature, distributed no pictures, framed up no support in any section. ‘The legions of loyal friends who en‘tered with him into the struggle went to his side unsolicited and spontaneously. He spent less money than ‘many & man spends who seeks the ‘honors and emoluments of a minor local office. And this wasg not that he ‘held the-honors for which he was a candidate cheaply or that he looked ‘upen himself as better than men who Ehad preceded him in aspirations for | leadership or who were contesting with him for the present honor. But to Thomas R. Marshall the governorship of Indiana is a high place whereto he who takes its seat of honor and gpower should be called. Its exaultations and its dignities he concieved be something not so secrambled for. And his party has appreciated his dignified eourse and Lis same quite way of stepping from private life into a position that, if a place of many lofty distinetions, is also a place of many stresses. '
No nomination made by the lndiana Democracy for governor within recollection of this generation has by the very fact of its consummation so immediately healed all the sorness of strenuous rivalries. The convention at once accepted Mr. Marshall, not as a candidate who very ~w‘ell ‘“would do’ but promptly, enthusiastically and with unanimous verdict of judgment as ‘‘the best.” With the voice and judgment of that convention the voice and judgment of the Democratic masses in the state will heartily coincide. And as the Democrats of Indiana through the opportunities of the campaign come to know something of Thomas R. Marshall, as his devoted and loving friendsin Northern Indiana know him, the same enthusiasm of acclaim and the same strength and tenderness of devotion will be their universal bearing toward him. It was' no idle and meaningless effervescence of enthusiasra when the convention that made him its candidate with one voice acclaimed him the *‘next governor of Indiana.” —Fort Wayne Sentinel. ’Who Will Be the Man ? L. W. Welker, of Albion, it is said will' be a candidate for judge, although he has not announced his name. Mr. Welker has twice before made the race for judge and was defeated both times. Inasmuch as Noble county has had the prosecutor and will have that place on the ticket again, why not furnish the candidate for &mge from Whitley county? Itis Whitley county’s turn and then some. Whitley county has some good timber for the position and justice, fairness, logic and politics of the situation points to a \lgb_iltley county man,—Commercial Mail.
Now, gentlemen, who shall it be? The Post takes pleasure in naming the list of eligibles in this county; that is, the republican list. It embraces Benton E. Gates, Chas. L. DeVault, Wm. H. Kissinger and W. Hayes Linvill, of this city and Geo. Kichler., of Churubusco. The C. M. avows that there is ‘‘some good timber’ in this bunch.—Columbia City Post. 2
Awakens New Interest
‘While tearing down an old dwelling house near the Bonneyville flour mill, Con C. Daily this week found three coins—presumably bogus—hidden in- a partition. They bear the date of 1825 and of course are of the design prevalent at that period—-smooth-edged and bearing thirteen stars. The man Bonney, who built the mill and the house, was accused of counterfeiting, and in 18356 was arrested and taken to Indianapolis, where he escaped from the officers, who had removed his handcuffs so that he could eat more freely. He was never after heard of.—Elkhart Review.

' Made No Campaign Thomas R. Marshall, democratic candidate for governor of Indiana, was never before an aspirant for political honors and hasnever held public office of any kind. He has never been an office-seeker in any sense of the word, and in the recent contest for the gubernatorial nomination his attitude was altogether novel. He made no canvass of the state what-{ ever ‘but simply announced that he would accept the nomination if the democrats of Indiana deemed him worthy of that high honor. He stated plainly that he would not go out and, make a fight for it, and he kept his word. His friends begged of him that they might organize and proceed systematically to strengthen his cause but he refused to permit them to do so. Local and district democrats actually became chagrined and were greviously . disappointed, for they felt convinced that if permitted to go to work they could capture the nomination for him, Mr. Marshall simply said to them that he fully appreciated the friendship and interest manifested for him, but at the same time expressed the belief that he was pursuing the right course—the only consistent one considered in connection with his first and only statement to the public touching upon his candidacy. Mr. Marshall wrote no letters sent out no press notices, ‘maintained no press bureau, and yet he won. It was a case of the people doing their own choosing, and it is believed that they made no mistake. ——Co{umbia City Post.
Has United The Party
The nomination of Thomas R. Marshall as the Democratic candidate for governor for Indiana was the logical one to make under the circumstances. He was allied with no factions in the party, was not antagon--Istic to any of the other aspirants for the honor and is fully equipped for the position He is the one man in the half dozen who were before the convention who could unite the party, and it did not take him long to do it after he faced the delegates and began to talk. His first sentence touched the spot and in a moment he had the vast assemblage eagerly listening to every word he uttered. When he ask the conveution if it would stand by him and hold up his hands there was no mistaking in the reply. It was to spontaneous and vociferous to be doubled. His nomination has united the party and the party is so formidable now that the result in November cannot berquestioned.—Columbia City Post.
Bass for Wawasee
Wawasee lake is to have a big assignment of small mouth bass minnows from the government hatcheries, some twenty tanks in all. Last season the lake only received two tanks, a much less quantity than some of the smaller lakes received. Daniel Zook who is interested at Wawasee, received word that the department had received favorably the requisition. This was principally by reason of the especial care the fish in this iake are receiving through the Wawasee Protective association, with a membership of 150 from-var-ious parts of the state, the members of which pay annual dues of $lO. Last year the association spent $15600 for the protection of the fish from illegal fishing maintaining a guard there night and day the year around. —Nappanee News. : :
The Law Bad
Cities and towns cannot enforce ordinances requiring license feesfrom peddlers, according to a decision of Judge Anderson in the federal court at Indianapolis last week. The court held that city and town councils can not compel concerns from outside the state to pay a license fee for soliciting business or delivering merchandise. The case in which this decision was given is that of the Intefnational Text Book company againt the city of Evanaville, asking an injunction. Judge Anderson enjoined .the city from enforcing an ordinance requiring a license to be bought by ageuts of the company. He held that such an ordinance is not valid under the interstate commerce laws. :
A Harrowing Experience
Dick Hostetler met with a serious accident Tuesday afternoon which will lay him up for some time. He was harrowing a field with a team and a spring tooth harrow. One of the tugs became unfastened, when Mr. Hostetler stepped behind the horse to hook it onto thesingletree when the team started up. Hostetler fell and the harrow passed over his body after rolling him for some’ distance over the plowed ground. He was very badly cut and bruised severely about the lungs and other parts of the body. His escepe from death was miraculous.—Millersburg Grit. - o . ' Wawasee Inn for Saleor Rent = The popular Wawasee Inn and farm on Lake Wawasee, Ind. for sale or rent.

Old Resident Dead o -~ Last Friday evening at his home in this city Dr. Denny, for many years a successful physician residing in the Hawpatch but for the past three years a resident of Ligonier, died from a stroke of paralysis after a short illness. John Nesbet Denny was born in Elkhart county near Goshen in 1834, Soon- after his parents, John and Mary Denny, had taken up their home on the border of the now famous Elkhart prairie. Several years later ‘his parents moved to the Hawpatch where they settled upon the farm yet owned by Dr. Denny. | He attended the common schools and assisted upon the farm until 1856, when he began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. M. M. Latta at Goshen, completIng his course at Rush Medical college. He took up the practice of his profession and for forty years enjoyed a large practice. o ' In 1884 he united in marriage wit Miss Martha J. McConnell and to this union one child was born, Miss Madelina Denny,s who with her ‘mother, survives. Dr. Deiny had three brothers and asister, Elizabeth J. Wm.l. Denny and Franklin M. | Denny died several years sgo, but Hon; Jas. M. Denny is still living at Albion, the last of his race in this locality where the name was 8o familiar.
Dr. Denny was an excellent citizen and a man of sterling integrity. He took great interest in public affairs and had a wide acquaintance among the men who have rnade the history of this part of the state. He was always a staunch Democrat in poli-tics-and affiliated with the: Presbyterian church. He had led a retired life for several years before coming to this city. where he established a most pleasant home. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Younger of the Presbyterian church officiating. fy Look at the Beave'ns " Veenus, the glory of the heavens in the star line, is now increasing in brightness, John Candee Dean, the Indianapolis astronomer, says: “Venus is now a brilliant evening star in the western sky. Its brightness increases each night as it mounts higher and higher. Its red compan--lon toward the southeast is Mars. On April 4 they will be.in conjunction when Mars will be twice the moon’s diameter south of Venus. On the evening of April 3 Venus, Mars and the new moon will be grouped together.
“The surface of Venus is the most brilliant of any object in the heavens except the sun.. Owing to the nearness of Venus to the sun, the temperature of its surface is near the boiling point. This causes the planet to be enveloped in a dense cloud of steam that reflects the sunlight like a mirror. Venus is easily seen ip broad daylight, if one knows where to look. :
‘*The a‘ternoon of April 4 will afford an opportunity for those who wish to obgerve it in daylight. At that time it will be just north of the moon.. On April 26 Venus will reach its greatest distance east of the sun, and will then begin its westware journey, but will continue toincrease in brilliancy until May 29.” :

ADDITIONAL LOCAL. ; O. F. Gerber went to South Bend last Monday. R Ex-mayor Fred H. Green returned Saturday from Indianapolis. He was more than pleased with the action of the democratic state convention. Mrs. Harry D. Stone returned home last Saturday. She spent the week in the city while Mr. Stone was it attendance at the state convention. S. K. Randall, the well known and ‘popnlar Avilla merchant, will be a candidate for representative before the democratic- county convention. Mr. Randall is one of the best known Democrats in the eastern part of the county and a strong man. ’ Sig W. Kahn spent Sunday here. 'He was at Indianapolis a good part of last week where he attended the state convention. He says that he was most agreeably surprised at the 'enthusiasm displayed and the show of interest in every part of the state.

Will A. Cavin, of Sturgis, Mich., was in .the city oever Sunday. He says that business is in good shape in his town and that political excitement is steadily growing.

Robert B. McKahan who attended the democratic state convention at Indianapolis last week says that he was amply repaid for his time and expense. It was one of the greatest conventions in the history of ‘the party and he got the man that all Noble county Democrats wanted, Thos. R. Marshall.
Charles L. Dava\slt, of Columbia City, will be a candidate for Judge before the republican convention. It would seem from all reports that Mr. Devault has the support of the Whitley county delegation and an effort is being made to break the Néble county delegation in his favor. L. W.

William F. Wilder and Sylvester Bartlett, two Elkbhart temperance leaders last Saturday created a sensatiun by visiting the various saloons and serving written notice upon them not to sell any kind of intoxXicants to a list of 72 names as furnished.

Merle Stone, of Albion, spent Friday evening in the city and atterded the Marshall reception. Mr. Stone formerly court reporter in this eircuit several years ago and is one of the staunch young democrats of the eounty seat to the north. He is heartily pleased with the nomination of Mr. Marshall for governor and thinks that the people of his county are of one accord when it comes to the question of Marshall.—Columbia City Post. ; i
Jack Miller will not open his saloon at-Wolf Lake and the remonstrance will stand for two years at least. It seems that upon technical points alone the anti-saloon people were able to win out as the withdrawals were numerous enough to have invalidated the remonstrance, had Miller’s attorneys followed the strict interpretation ofi the statute. The same is true of Churubusco where the courts held that the withdrawals were not filed in time to be taken off the remonstrance. v Don’t Take Chances - The Wabash Plain Dealer says: “Got any lots in Irondale, Texas?

Many of the yictims reside in this vicinity, and a good many of them are still wondering why they bit.”” Investors better beware of the scheme. |
