DELEGATES TO ST. LOUS.

Call to Indiana Populists Authorizing Their Selection. To the Voters of the People’s Party. Under the call of the Peoples party. Indiana is entitled to thirty delegates to the national convention. The state central committee by virtue of the authority vested in it bv the national committee have apportioned the delegates among the several districts of this state as follows: Each district under the new apportionment is entitled to two delegates, and the First, Second, Fifth and Ninth districts are each entitled to additional delegate. on the basis of the vote cast for Dr. Kobinson for secretary of state. The Seventh district having already selected two delegates at its district convention, the action of said district, and any other districts having taken similar action, has been approved by the state committee. The basis of representation to the district convention will be the same as for district conventions under last call. District committeemen are authorized to reconvene their district conventions, or oa'l new’ one.>. for the selection of national delegates. Under the foregoing apportionment there will be no delegates at large, as it was thought best to apportion all among the several districts as above indicated. District chairmen will, under the above instructions, fix such time and place as their respective judgments may indicate. N. T. Butts, 1 Attest. J Chairman. S. M. Shepard, Secretary. Reform papers will please copy and keep standing.

Same old story, another bond is.sue. And still the grand gold standard times produce their bountiful crop of failures. If you want higher priced corn and beef, make more dol-lars--that means free silver and greenbacks. ’ The Sunday papers announce the probable necessity of, another bond issue before the summer is over. The cheap silver dollar will pay just as big a debt, just as much.of your taxes, and just as much of the officeholders salary as the gold dollar will, and -the greenbacks will do the same. High priced dollars for the money loaner —don’t blame him. it is to his interest—low priced dollars for the man in debt—and don’t blame any one but yourself if you don’t try to get them. If you want high priced dollars make them scarce, same as you have ’em now. If you w T ant them higher priced, make them scarcer, same as the old parties are planning to give you.

The government could employ one million men upon the highways, or other pubiic improvements, three hundred days per year for ten years, at the daily wage of $1.66f, payment to be made in new issues of legal tender paper money, and it would then lack sl7 per capita of hav ing as much money in circulation as it had at the close Of the civil war. If the government could maintain a million men in the terrible destruction of war and prosper, what would be the result if all men now idle could be employed in public improvements. The answer seems plain.

Chickens Getting Home.

It will be remembered that Cobb of Alabama was the congressman who got so drunk that he had to ask the speaker “where was I at,” which incident Mr. Watson wrote up in his

campaign book and caused the phrase tohave a run all over the country. A committee was appointed to investigate Mr. Watson's charge of drunkenness on the part of members, and Boatner of Louisiana, who was chairman, acted the part of prosecuting officer instead of judge, and did his best to have Watson expelled, but failed. Now, Boatner was deprived of his seat a few weeks ago on account of the gross frauds by which he obtained it; and now Cobb has been unseated and Goodwin, one of the leading populists of Alabama, declared elected. Justice has been a little slow with these fellows, but it finally got them in good style.—McDuffie (Georgia) Enterprise.

The Populist Vole.

As the strength of the Populists is chiefly in tne West and South, it is not to be wondered at that so little attention has been paid to their movements in those parts of the country exempt from their influence. In 1892 they cast a total of 1,041,028 votes for their presidential candidate. Weaver, out of a total of 12,110,636 for all candidates. If they had given no evidences of giowth in the mean while they would not cut much of a figure in the calculations of the present year. But a remarkable feature of the elections of 1894 was the great increase in the Populist vote which accompanied the overturning of the democratic candidates. In the leading States in which a Populist organization was in the field in 1892 and in 1894 the following table shows thdir gains; State 1892. 1894. Arkansas 11,831 24,541 California 25,352 51,304 Illinois 22,207 59,793 Indiana 22,208 29.388 lowa !20 595 . 32,118 Kentucky .... .. . 23'500 16,911 Michigan 19,892 30.012 Minnesota 29,313 87,931 Missouri 41,213 42,463 Montana 7,794 15,240 Ohio 11,850 52,675 Oregon 26,965 26,033 Tennessee 23,447 23,092 Texas 99,688 159,224

Washington.. .. 19.165 25,140 Wisconsin 9,909 25,604 These results were,on straight tickets, In addition the Populists in a fusion with the democrats increased in Colorado from 53,584 to 82,111. In Georgia, where they east 42,937 votes in 1892, a republican fusion gave them 96,888 in 1894. In Kansas a democratic fusion gave them 163,111 votes for president in 1892, and separately they cast 118,327 in 1894. In Nebraska a straight vote of 83,134 for Weaver in 1892 was incresed by democratic fusion to 97,815 in 1874. In North Carolina a fusion with the republicans on chief justice in 1894 increased their vote from 44,736 (in 1892) to 148,344, or more than the toal republican and Populist vote of 1892. In Virginia similar fusion increased the vote from 12,270 to 81,239. In Alabama the fusion vote of 85,181 in 1892 only fell off on a straight vote ill 1894 to 83,283. In Mississippi the vote was substantialh 7 unchanged. In North Dakota a fusion vote of 17,700 in 1892 was reduced to a straight vote of 9,342 in 1894. It must be borne in mind that the vote in the off year is uniformly less than in a presidential year. If the populist vote increased so largely from T 892 to 1894 it becomes an interesting question to know whether it has gone on increasing. It will undoubtedly be a factor in the results of next November, especially if there should be a fusion with the freesilver bolters from one or both of the old parties—New York World.

James L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago, says: "I regard Dr. King's New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints, having used it in my family for the last live years, to the exclusion of physician's perscriptions or other preparations. Rev 1 . John Burgus, Keokuk, lowa, writes: “I have been a Minister of the Methodist Episcopal church for 50 years or more, and have never found anything so beneficial or that gave me such speedy relief as Dr. King's New Discovery.” Try this Ideal Cough Remedy now.

The Ideal Banacea

The populists will carry the state election now approaching in Oregon, and the effect on all the west will be electrical. The fires of euthusiasm are burning brightly on the western hills. Girl wanted to do general housework. Call on A. Lewis at Cigar factory.

In the Front Rank.

Isaac Glazebrook purchased 25 foot frontage north of blacksmith shop on Front street last week, paying therefor the hsndsome figure of $325 to Mrs. Thomas Sayler. This gives Mr. Glazebrook a tine frontage of 117 feet for his home and business place. He has recently installed an excellent gasolene engine, horse power, with which to operate such machinery as turning lathes for iron and wood, drills, emerywheels disk sharpener, saws, fire blower, power hammer and the various machines pej culiar t<j a general repair and blacksmith shop. Mr. Glazebrook has by far the most complete equipment in Jasper county for doing all kinds of blacksmithing, machine repairing, woodwork etc., besides keeping an expert horse shoer. He has plans in contemplation for still further adding to the completeness of his plant. The engine has sufficient power to run a good sized private lighting plant and much more machinery than he expects to use in his shop, and it is possible that he will put up a new building adjoining to accommodate a manufacturing business, negotiations for which are already in progress. The progress of Jasper county is forcibly seen in the rapid growth of the business which Mr. Glazebrook took hold of in a small way but a couple of years ago. With from four to sixworkmen he can not now handle all the work that-is brought to him.

The annual military day exercises at St. Joseph's College will occur this year on Thursday, May 21, 2 p. m. on the College Campus, and will consist of drills by the Battalion, companies and squad. The oration of the day will be given by Rev. Fred Wieckman, Chaplain of the soldiers home Marion, Ind. who delivered the oration on the same occasion last year. The citizens of Rensselaer are cordially invited to attend.
