HEWS OF THE WEEK Jotted Down in the Reporter’s Note Book. The Late Republican Congres sional Convention Disagree. Talk Tor Tour Town First, Last and All the Time. ^ New flloney Order Lefislation-The County Officers Salaries.

“WHEBE-ARE*WE»AT.” Trouble tn (he Republican Congrcssienal Camp. , The republican papers of Evansville, Tribune, News, Journal, Bulletin, Germania and Standard would have their readers who did not attend the recent convention believe that all was harmony and that j>eaee and good will in large quantities formed the basis of deliberation in that never-to-be-forgotten assembly of man worshipping delegates. These papers are attempting to smooth over one of the worst “splits” any party In any district ever had to contend with, and their oft boasted impartiality in giving the falls flat when the news facts are known. The trouble in republican ranks of the First district, it appears now, will not be settled [.before the next election. No matter who is nominated for congress by the republicans some beautiful political “carving” is bound to occur when the name of the uufortunate candidate is announced, if by any accident a choice is made. A grand opportunity for the “kickers” to got in some effective work was on the motion for adjournment, which was “railroaded” through by Chairman Wilson Friday evening last. This motion specified no disposition of the delegates to this convention. As adopted ft leaves only the call lu the hands of the district committee, and they of course have no power to do otherwise than fix a time and place tor the next performance. This of course does away with the idea some republicans have that primary elections for the choice of new delegates should be held and thus dispose of the deadlock. The old delegates,” however, must serve again with Chairman Wilson, the great parlimentarian, presiding, and the great battle will be fought over again. The only hope the different factions have is iu the discouragement of original delegates and the substitution of nroxies. Proxies $1 way create trouble and whoever is nominated at a convention where they are effective is almost certain to be knifed at the polls ami in this instance the carving would he very artistic. Local republicans and many of the delegates now see that a great mistake was made in not giving the nomination to Hon. A. P. Twineham on the first ballot, thereby keeping in harmony with a time-honored precedent of both parties in this district, It has invariably been the rule to give the second nomrnatiou to an elected or defeated candidate if desired by him. In breaking away from this long established custom the old wheel horses see breakers ahead that could not possibly have been discovered by the youthful and inexperienced aggregation of McKinley - ites who have dragged the republican eagle from its perch and plucked its tail feathers. Truly it’s a had case of “splits,” and none realize it more than the republican press.—Evansville Cou

TALK UP YOLK TOWN. J Modesty Should Not Prevent Its Points Reing Known. If you live in a town you should beiieve in it. If you don't believe your own town or city is a little better in most respects than any of its neighbors, you should move out. Like other places if has advantages that others have oot, and your modesty should not prevent you from making the fact known wheuever the opportunity presents Itself. At home or abroad, whether pursuiug pleasure or engaged in business, do uot neglect to give those with whom you come j ill contact to understand that you •live ih a live town populated by en[terprisingjffo ahead, progressivepeo

pie *2d one that is advancing instead of retrograding. If you can truthfully speak in commendation of the ability of your professional men, the square dealing methods of your merchants, the excellence of your mechanics the superiority of your churches, schools and public Institutions and the industry, energy and sobriety of your citizens generally, let nothing prevent you frouyexercising that privilege. You should learn to believe, if you do not already, that we have all these and in addition the handsomest women, the best located town, the finest country surrounding it, with the most intelligent class of farmers to be found in the United States. If there are any drawbacks, it will not be necessary to mention them. The people aud newspapers of competing towns will relieve you of that task by attending to that part of it themselves. Strangers seeking a location are greatly influenced in favor of anyplace whose citizens are enthusiastic in its praise. No city or town c|o expect to attainjprominence over its rivals unless its inhabitants! appreciate the excellence and virtues] of each other and will collectively j spread abroad their faith in the pres- j ent prosperity and future greatness of their own locality. Talk is a cheap commodity, but when'rightly utilized it can be made effective in many directions and this is one of thei4<

NEW MOSEY ORDERS, Uncle Sam’s Improved System After the 1st of July. Everybody who sends or reeeiyes cash through Uncle Sam's mails will be interested to learn-that on the 1st day of July next a new money order system will go into effect, by which both large aiid small sums can be readily transmitted by letter with absolute safety, and at rates much less than the present. Orders for -f2 50 or less can be had for a fee ot only 3c, and orders for larger amounts up to $100 at rates graduated up to 30 cents. Postmaster Fleming has been notified that with the issuance of the now money order ,the postal note,will be abolished, since there; will no longer be any need for it. The form of the new order is both artistic and beautiful, and withal of convenient size for handling. Its popularity throughout the country is likely to be great from the very start. Its attractive appearance, as well as its cheapness and availability, may be counted upon to insure that result. It is engraved on steel, and serves as a good illustration of the tendency lecently observable jn Uncle Sam toward aestheticism in his Official issues of government paper. Contrasted with it the old form now in use is unsightly and hideous. The schedule of fees to be charged for the new money orders has been reduced to the basis now charged by the various express companies for transmitting money, and will be as follows: For $2.50 or less.... 3c $2 50 to *5.00 .:. .5c $5 to 110 .. ..8c $10 to $20 . 10c $20 to *80 . 12c $30 to *40 .. ..'....'.lttc $40 to $50..A... 18c $50 to *00 . ...20c $00 t o $75 ..:.22c $75 to *100. 30c This reduction of rates for the larger orders will give the Government more business for those orders, for the reason that heretofore the express companies, charging Jess fees than the Government, have obtained that business, while the Government has been leP to do a large business in the smaller orders, which are unprofitable.
