In tiii: republican legislature in Kansas, last week, a Vote for a republican presidential candidate for lbl , resulted almost unanimous in favor of McKinlev. It is announced that Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas, will be a candidate for mayor, of Wichita, he will be brought to the front by the citizensticket, and secure the support of the prohibitionists. Now honestly, is it not peculiar that the laws of this country will allow gambling on the board of trade, where men of wealth snend their monev, vet the law of this country will not allow a man of ordinary means to invest a dollar in a lot ten? j Tin: Iii v. Nimm.1 (I. .Jones, father of the noted Sum Jones, of (leorgia, died recently at the age of W years. He raised live s-'oi:s, all of hm are Methodist p read. eis. Samuel is the only one of the family win achieved more than a local i t putation. Tin: n;ice sent by Secretary (Iresham to Spain, will in a large degree remove a great deal of the odium attached to him since becoming identified with the Cleveland cabinet. Two much leniency has been shown to foreign powers the pat two years. It is tobe hoped that such insults against the American i!ag will be handled without gloves. Ml.ori:i is becoming a leader in reforms. Xo liii us are sold in her capitol building. Her legislature is about to pass the anti-cigarette bill, forbidding the sale or gift of cigars, cigarettes or cigarette paper, or tobacco in any form, to a child under IS years, and the age of consent was raised to IS years by a vote of 101 to 11. Sunday base ball games are prohibited and equal suffrage is favorably recommended. Tin: laws of this land are supposed to be the expression of the free will of all the people. Obedience to laws made by the representatives of the people is the fundamental condition of personal safety and social prosperity. When any undue inlluence then is brought to bear upon these representatives who are chosen to make the laws, society and the personal safety and liberty of the people are imperiled. We are very apt to speak sneeringly of the lobby inlluence on our legislatures. The railroad lobby, the bankers' lobby, the grangers' lobby, are all great public dangers, because they are the vehicles of organized corruption. Especially is this so when by the use of large sums they are disposed and often able to first buy legislation and afterwards to control the decisions of the courts. Tin: decision rendered by Judge Tuley, of Illinois, regarding the putting up of margins on the board of trade, is very sweeping. His decision is to the effect that it is gambling and against the law of the state. We have been prone to look upon the dealings made on the board of trade, as a gigantic gambling deal. It looks to a man up a tree, as inconsistent to allow such an institution to exists, and legalize it, and yet through its manipulations thousands of men have gone to the wall. A man of moderate means, if he felt so inclined cannot invest in the game, for if the market falls, if he is so unfortunate as to wager on a rise in the price, and drops below the price paid, he must put up his margin to the amount of the shrinkage. Whenever he fails to put up his margin, the produce is sold at the price quoted, and he is out every dollar he has put up as margin. REPUBLICANISM. In last weeek's issue of the Plymouth Republican, appeared an article, taken from the Washington Times, edited by Congressman Conn, of democratic proclivities. Urother Ilrooks in commenting upon this article, which was upon the Imancial issue, says: "Mr. Conn's views are becoming quite rational, and aside from his proposition to retire the greenbacks, we regard his sentiments as pretty good republican doctrine. If what llrother Ilrooks above quotes is'true, w e have been on the wrong track for years, and our idea3 and conceptions on republicanism, have been wrong. The following is a quotation from Mr. Conn's article: "The manifesto of the bi-metallic party is another furtilo attempt to or ganize against business interests and in opposition to common sense." Are we to understand by this utter ancc, that the eminent leaders from

Washington down to 1S73, were working against the ''business intersts" of the American people, and "common sense V" Also that the success and prosperity of the UnitedStates under republican reign, when bi metallism was the foundation of our financial sjstem was

I a failure, and detrimental to the inter ests of our country ? 11' so. for the sake of the suffering people, give us some more legislation against business in-1 teivst." The most successful times in the historv of our countrv were under the I ia) m metallic standard, and was upheld by republican administration. And since the dastardly act perpetrated upon the American people by congress in lbT.'J, who through a disguised bill, demonetized silver, removing the unit of value from silver, transfering it to gold, this standard proved beneficial to the people. It is an easy matter to see why Mr. Conn is disgruntled and against bimetallism. The free silver democrats propose to organize a silver party, and thus destroying all hope of democratic su- ! preniacy in IV.:'. Another republican utterance of Mr. Comi js fouJu: . thest. WnnU.. "Tntil Kurope will accept silver at a parity with gold, we must continue to use gold bullion in payment of foreign demands." There has not been so much adverse criticism relating to paying gold to Kngland, as there has been against the removing of silver as one of the standards; and the standard to, that our fore fathers stamped with approval and who carried on a bloody war with the very nation, that we are told in this republican article, should give their consent to our returning to the money we realized the greatest success from as a nation. When they speak about the parity of gold and silver, we turn to history and learn, that for 200 years of tree coinage, there was only a variation of two points between the two metals. Now if bimetallism for 200 years, kept gold and silver at a parity, there is surely good reason to believe it can be done in this day and age. While the monied men and gold spec ulators of the republican party, tho.se especially of the east, desire to cling to the single standard; the republicans who believe in the prosperity of the people, are in favor of bi metallism. And we emphatically declare it is not republicanism, to quietly fold our hands and wait for England, who, with her sinewed lobbyists, manipulated the wire so finely that our lawmakers fell into the artfully concealed trap in lhT3, to tell us to move in that direction. Tor over twenty years we marched within the ranks of the republican party, casting our ballot for the candidates that held aloft the standard of republicanism. We were led to believe, not only by its history, but by the utterances of its renowned leaders, that the republican party "led, while all others followed!'' This party always advocated protection, and that high enough to protect American industries. Then again we were cautioned by our leaders: "That whatever was advocated by England, should be steared clear of by "America, for it was detrimental to the growth and prosperity of our nation." And yet our friend Brooks believes i. to be republicanism to follow Mr. Conn's advice, and bow the neck of American prosperity under the heel of European aristocracy, abiding patiently the depression that hangs like a pall over this country, "until Europe will accept silver on a parity with gold." Xo, Brother Brooks, we must say the argument made is not republicanism. It will also be found, that three out of five of the rank and file in the republican party, are in favor of bi-metallism, and we predict that the republican party in its next national convention assembled, will place a plank in their platform in favor of bimetallism. Then Brother Brooks, where will you be at V Married. Samuel M. Brick and Miss Ilattie B. Armstrong were united in marriage Tuesday evening, about 7:30 o'clock. The wedding was held at the United Brethren church parsonage, llev. Landis officiating, with only a few friends present. After the ceremony they went to the (J. A. 1. hall, where the Woman's Belief Corps tendered them a fine reception. There was about one hundred invited guests present. They listened to a few remarks by Be v. Eandis on "Life," and then the guests one by one congratulated the bride and groom and wished them all the blessings of married life. They then sat down to one of the most magnificent suppers ever spread. The bride is well known in this locality and is respected and liked by all. The groom has resided in our city for a little over a year and lias been in the employ of the Indiana Novelty Co. The Inditkxdent wishes them joy and happiness all along life's journey. Win. J. Gibson and Lillie V. Liggett

were united in marriage by Uev. L. S. Smith at 0 p. in. Wednesday, at the home of the bride's sister, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin llish. A lap supper was served and all enjoyed the occasion.
