The Democracy of the Thirteenth Congressional District of Indiana are hereby called to meet in convention in the city of South Rend, Indiana, on Tut3'lay, August 1818, at 1:30 p. m., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for congress from this district. Each county in the district will be entitled to the following representation in said convention: Counties. Delegates. Klkhart 25 Fulton 12 Kosciusko 17 Marshall 18 Pulaski 10 St. Joseph 31 Starke 6 Total 119 It will require 00 votes ot the 119 to make the nomination. The Democracy of the district are invited to attend this convention. By order congressional committee, Thirteenth District. Petek J . Knm, Ch'm. Julius Rowley, Sec'y. 8HIVELY FOB CONKKS. Democrats generally must admit that the race for congress in this district this year will not be a walk away and that the strongest available man should be nominated. It is simply nonsense to place a man of ordinary calibre in the field for the sole purpose of seeeing him defeated. There is a normal republican majority to overcome under the most favorable circumstances, and the prestige given the administration by the victories of the war will doubtless augment this advantage. For that reason the democratic candidate should be well and favorably known throughout the district and also be possessed of the necessary qualifications to make an aggressive, vigorous campaign. That candidate, i:i the estimation of Truth, should be the Hon, B. F.

Shively, if he can be induced to accept the nomination. He is a resident of South Hend, the home of the republican nominee, and hi candidacy would fully counteract the advantage to be derived in that large voting center by Mr. Brick provided the democratic nomination goes elsewhere. Mr. Shively would also poll a large republican vote in other parts of the district and there is little doubt of his being elected if he can be prevailed upon to make the race. Elkhart Truth. WIIK WIIX PEACE COME? Peace! peace! is the cry in the daily papers; but there is no peace. There will be no peace until the next presidential election. One of the wounded oilicers expressed the truth concisely when he said; This war is a good thing for the republican party, and it is going to be pushed along." If Spain should sue for peace this week the necessary negotiations would occupy at least two years. Commissioners wouM have to be appointed on both sides; all of the details would have to be discussed ; possibly an arbitrator would have to be chosen. Meanwhile, our army and navy must be kept upon a war footing to guard against Spanish treachery and to enforce our rights. Meanwhile, also, the war taxes must be imposed to pay the expenses of maintaining the army and navy, supporting and transporting the Spanish prisoners. The schoolboy that is just learning to spell the names of the Spanish possessions that we have captured will be qualified to cast his first vote before the open accounts of this war are settled. Then will come thousands of additions to the pension list, to burden the next generation as we are burdened with the pensioners of a war that was supposed to be endded thirty-three years ago. Peace? It is a word that keeps promise io the ear, but breaks it to the hope.

Neither of the old political parties is doing anything toward solving the legislative apportionment complications, which, it is averred, will result in fifty-one senators demanding seats in the next state senate, notwithstanding the constitution fixes the number at fifty, says the Indianapolis News. There is a difference of opinion, too, between the two parties as to which districts shall elect this year, but each party under instructions of its state committee will elect twenty-seven senators in November, which with ,:he twenty-four holding over, will make fifty-one. This situation is caused by the creation of the Stuben-DeKalb district. The vanquished Gen. Toral is getting it both coming and going. In addition to being compelled to surrender his forces, he is now threatened by his home government with court martial for doing the only thing that was left him to do. It seems easy for the Spanish government to sit across the water and bluster thus. When Commodore Watson reaches that opposite shore to pay his respects to old Father Hidalgo, they may then be in a position to know something of the feelings which prompted Gen. Toral's very sensible surrender. Porto Rico has long leen a more productive country for Spain than Cuba itself, says an exchange. The island is ioS miles long and 50 miles wide. Its principal products are sugar, molasses, coffee, tobacco, fruits, live stock and hides. Its agricultural importance is growing rapidly. The amount of the last annual exports to America amounted to $75,000,000, For a little country not bigger than Lake Michigan this is wonderful and is well worth Uncle Sam's time to secure. Besides, the military occupation need not be large. It is to be hoped that Spain is under no illusions as to the terms of peace she must finally accept at our hands. The United States must absolutely occupy Cuba and hold it under military rule until the people are ptepared for a self government

that will be satisfactory to tlii country. The island of Porto Rico must become absolutely and unqualifiedly the property of this government. The Philippine islands must be taken possession of and held under military rule as security for an indemnity, the amount of which should equal the loss of the war. This will make a disposition of the Philippine islands that exception cannot be taken to by any of the European nations, and will do awav with any possibility of foreign complications growing out of our control of that territory.

The Ft. Wayne banks have reduced the rate of interest to j- per cent. But The Journal of that city says: "Six per cent, is all any business can pay and leave a margin for its promoters, and surely they ought to be entitled to a division of the earnings. The Old National bank can add to its honors by doing more in the same direction." The TournaFs point is weil taken. The Indianapolis News observes that people are taking precious little interest in politics these days. State conyentions come and go, exciting onlv languid attention. What do people care about the petty strifes of parties, when war with its fierce excitements and great possibilities, is on? In 18.10 the per capita debt of Indiana was $30 with a population of 600,000. Now with a population of 3,000,000 the debt is 2 per capita. The CougreHHioiiMl Nomination. With Mr. Kellison out of the race several candidates will probably seek the Democratic congressional nomination. But Hon. B. F. Shively will not be one of them. His nu3 1 has been prominently mentioned as the most available man, but he eayt emphatically that he could not take the race if it were tendered hiin . II M. Hathaway, a prominent Winamac attorney, who has many friends in this county, will likely be in the race. Dixon W . Place, an extensive farmer and hay baler, of Walkerton, will also be a candidate. Mr. I'iace commenced life as a renter on a farm 20 years ago and by intelligent and progressive efforts has accumulated a considerable estate. He is a prominent member of the Masons, Odd Fellows, K. of IV, Maccabees and Grange, and has always been an active and influential democrat. He says he cannot give much attention to politics until his 150 acres of corn is "laid by" and his hay is harvested, lie also conducts an extensive agricultural implement business and is in close touch with farming interests. His tarms and other business interests are at Walkerton, but he has lived in South Bend for several years, where his children are in school. Although The Sentinel does not speak with direct authority, it is probable that Hon, V. Zimmerman, of this city, will be a candidate. He is out of town today, and therefore we could not interview him as to his intentions, but if he enters the race the home delegation will be for him, and it is believed that he has a good chance of cap turing the nomination. He will an nounce within a few days what he will do. Thursday's Rochester Sentinel. A 11 r-rii 11- Showing, The enumeration of 1893 upon which the present congressional and legislative apportionment is based shows the remarkable fact that Marshall, Starke, Wells, Adams, Brown and Washington counties have not a single colored voter; White, l'ulaski, and Crawford have but one each; Lagrange, Porter and Franklin two each, and Martin, Scott and White counties three each; Noble and Warren four each; Steuben, DeKalb and Huntington live each; Fulton and Jasper six each; Blackford, seven; Dubois, nine and Fountain and Carroll each ten . This is a total of 26 counties out of 1)2 in Indiana with but 81) jolored voters out of a total of 13,322 colored males over 21 years old. The six counties without a colored voter are Democratic as are also most of the others where there is so small a colored vote. Marion county is credited with 3,804 colored voters by the same enumeration with Yanderburg county second with 1,720 and Clark third with Cöü. Kirnt Case Thin Kt-iu. Monday, about 10:30 a. m., while Kay Kendall was sitting in front of his father's store he was suddenly overcome with the heat and fell from his chair. He was cared for at once by his father and friends, was conveyed to hia home and Dr. Knott called. At this writing be is resting easy and will probably be himself again in a few days. This is the tirst case of this kind recorded in Plymouth this summer. Rlpaa Talmi core liver trouble.

CONFERENCE CONVENES SEPT. 7.

.Nortliwpst liuliHiia CoiChmm of tli M. B, Chun h The Forty seventh session of this body is to be held in Plymouth Sept 7 to 12. Bishop Henry W. Warren, of Denver, Colo., is to preside. Our neighboring cities of Rochester, nuth Peud, Valparaiso, Laporte, and Michigan City have entertained previous sessions of this conference but this annual gathering has never been held in Plymouth. Only ministers are members. Of them there are 6onie 220. The territory whence they come is bounded on the east by the Michigan road from South llend to Indianapolis, on the south by the N'andalia railroad from Indianapolis to Terre Haute, on the west and north by the state lines. The whole state of Indiana is divided into three conferences of which this one is the le ist in territory and in members. The number of persons for whom we are to provide free entertainment will probably rench 250 or 100, including vMtors from abroad in addition to actual membership and wives of ministers. The time occupied in the deliberations of the conference will comprise the dates given, beginning on Wednesday morning and closing Monday. A program and directory will be published several days before the conference begins. A cordial welcome to all its services will be extended to all who can attend. No lVa- Vet. It is rather amusing to read the various contradictory reports of alleged negotiations for peace. Most of them come from London and like the stories of American complications with Germany they seem to lack considerable of being true. secretary of State Day puts the different peace propositions in a tangible form when he says our government has not considered any proposals either for an armstice or for peace. He further states that neither Spain nor any of the Furepean powers haye approached our government on this question, and with this emphatic denial we may rest assured that the end of the war is not yet in sight. I nrt y-foiir ltnsliels to the Aere. A St. Joseph county tarmer threshed 42 bushels of wheat to the acre, but he is not "in it" with Marshall county. Geo. Marsh, a farmer living three and onehall miles southeast of Plymouth, reports 44 bushels to the acre as the average yield of his crop. Perhaps you have made up your mind to take 3 this summer. Then look for this picture on the wrapper, a man with a big fish on his back. Do not let anyone talk to you of something " just as good." When you want cod liver oil and the hypophosphites you want the very best. You will find them in only one place, Scott's Emulsion. There is no other emulsion like it; none other does the same w ork ; and no other has the same record of cures. All Druggists, 50C. ani ,. Scott &- Bownk, Cliemisti, N. Y.
