The power Mr. Hanly once exercisid in republican counelis is his po more and it would be difficult to cite a case which parsiiels his io the matter of political prestige wantonly sacrificed on the altar of selfistiness, It bias ever been the endeavor of Mr. Hanly notonly to dominate every institution with which he comes in contact but likewise to render it a source of rev‘enue to himself, and there is very general feeling that he has commercial ized the temperance issue and attempted to sabordinate the republican party to it in order that he may personaily profit —Fort Wayne News.

Several postmasters in this part of the state are now holditg office beyond the date of their commissions and the coutestants are patisntly waiting for sometning to drop- In the meantin e the Washington correspondents bave been intimating that Beveridge and

~ other insurgent senators are to be disciplined and shorn of their power and that the appointinents would be made only upoun the approval of the state committea, llf the bosses down at Washington couid be made to see things as they are, they would realize that their course would be the best thing ~ that could bappen to Beveridge. 1f the stand-pat gang dominates the appointments.

[t 18 a pretty good sign that the Democrats ‘bave done just about the right thing when the Truth begins to growl and the louder the growl, the stronger the conviction grows, The Democrats of Marshall county. with a large majority of the St. Jnsephcoumy delegation voted for Peter Keyer of Plymouth,an excellent Dsmoerat and an old member of the committee. He defeated the Elkhart county candidate by a narrow margin and the whole blame is saddled upon Tom Taggart, Senator Shively and the Brewers, . , *eE gaan : Washington dispatches say that Ex-Congressman C. C. Gilhams of LaGrange is in the national/gapital for a stay of ten days or more. We wonder if Mr. Gilbam's visitﬁs anything to with the distribution of the postoffices in this part of the state. If Mr. Gilbams is to be a candidate for re-eleztion it would seem that his visit‘just at this time is very inopportune for he will get the ecredit of mixing in, even if he does keep hands off, There are several very important contests still open, amorg them beiug the ~ postmastership in this city and the people are beginning to sit up and take notice of the way the wires are being pulled. : - 4 % 8 es : ‘ Collier's Weekly presents for the emulation of its readers the career of a successful man whose achievements, though not equaling a Napoleon's or -a Roosevelt's, yet add to the sum of human happiness and promote the national prosperity. Here is his record: ‘*At twenty he had learned to bathe properly and sleep with the window open; at twenty-five he had “loved a wholesome girl and married her; at thirty-five he had mastered his t mpsr and Hkgwlst learnsd to resarya judgmoat; at forty-five his chil - dren were proud of him; at sixty, he had achieved kindness, moderation, and the respect of his neighbors.”” Lads in their teens and even older persons would do well to emulate this example. : ) g . eßaßtd*e | ' ~ Ligonier is again in the lime-light.
