People’s Party congressional convention.

The chairman of the people’s party central committe of the tenth congressional district will issue next week a call for the district convention to elect delegates to the national convention to be held at St. Louis July 22d. He has decided upon Monon as the place of meeting, it being the most central and accessible point in the district. It is his intention to make it the occasion of a grand rally and have an address by an orator of national reputation, negotiations for which are now in progress’ The railroads have promised half rates and effort will be made to make it the grandest people’s party gathering, in the history of the party in this district 4 It is probable that the date will be decided upon next week and will be in Jnly not later than the 15th. The convention to nominate a candidate for congress will not be called until after the national convention. The Chicago Record’s Indianapolis correspondent was at his old business of undertaking again in yesterdays paper, and for Magnificent transparent fabrication from that proverbial piece of whole cloth the production of his fertile imagination is worthy a prize. This is the way he begins: “The populists of Indiana make the announcement that within the, last ten days an understanding has been reached whereby the populists of every state in the union are to accept the platform and candidate of the Chicago convention in case both are for silver. Leading populists, who do not care to have their names used at this time, say it is likely that the party will be a thing of the past by Aug. 1.” That reads all right to the silver democrat who is figuring on being on top at Chicago, but to the populists, who hold that there are several things vastly more important to the country than their demand for free coinage of silver, would be pleased to know ypho are some of fhese leading populists, that the correspondent is so careful to keep in the dark. This same correspondent announced tne dis : bandment of the Indiana poplists a few weeks ago, giving names of certain jjleailers, but they still seem to be so actively in the populist party that he has to spring a new dodge to deceive the people.

★*#*★*#*#*#*****# * * 0 Remington Ifoteo. # The band boys of St. Joseph’s collegG, Rensselaer, discoursed some splendid music to the Remington people last Wednesday. They were on ther way to Fowler, to participate in the dedicatory ceremonies of the new catholic church there. The boys are right “on to their job” as musicians. The gate receipts from the field day exercises here on the Bth inst. were $97; not a bad showing, and amply sufficient to pay all the expenses that were incurred in the premises. Capt. Ralph W. Marshall of Rensselaer will deliver the memorial address at Remington on Decoration Day. Henry Brooks, who has been dangerously ill with appendicites for some time past, has been operated on, and now appears to be on the way to speedy recovery. Quite a number of the old soldeirs and others attended the G. A. R. reunion at South Bend last week. They report a splendid time, and say that it was a great success in every way. Mrs. Graham, who had been so long ill, died last week. A post mortem examination by Drs. Ramsay, London and Pratt revealed that she had suffered all this time with cancer of the stomach. The body was taken to Alexandria, Ohio, for interment, where the deceased had spent her early bhildhood. A large number of the D. of R. of which she was a member, and also of the 1.0.0. F., subordinate lodge members, attended the funeral and escorted the remains to the train that carried them away. It is rumored here that Hon. S. P. Thomson will be a candidate for the office of Circuit Judge to succeed the Hon. W. Z. Wiley, who will resign to accept the nomination tendered him on the appellate bench. No one doubts Mr. Thompson’s ability, but as to whether he will be nominated by his party and elected by the people of the 30th judicial circuit is quite another matter. Time only, will disclose matters. We have been blessed with an abundance of rain the past week. The hay and oats crops are now assured. Thus far this season providence seems to have been smiling on this part of the vineyard. We have heard no person say he had ever experienced a more favorable season for all kinds of crops. Mr. aud Mrs. Mark G. Lewis of Jordan township buried another one of their children in Remington cemetery last Sunday afternoon. This little one was a little over one year old, and it makes the fourth child they have buried within the past few years. Our sympathies are extended to this sadly bereaved family. Last Sunday a Mr. Vannice of Monon, accompanied by another man from White county, called for Mr. Lucky, our town marshal, and requested that he go with them to the fair ground to arrest a party who had on the previous night stolen a horse blanket and buggy whip from 1 Mr. Vannices buggy at the poor farm between Monon and Monticello. The marshal accompanied them and arrested the party and brought him to town and placed him in the town jail, where he was kept until noon Monday, when he was removed bj White county officers aud taken to Monticello for trial. The party had his wife and little child with him, the two latter staying at Mrs. Griffith’s boarding house until Monday, when they went to Monticello on the same train with the husband and father. We have not learned the name of the party under arrest, nor have we learned the result of the trial. The value of the property stolen would not exceed $1.50.

Republican vs. Democratic Tariff.

Editor Peoples Pilot. We are now on the eve of a great national camqaign; for the next sits months we will hear nothing but politics, politics. While the average citizen is giving his time and talent to promote the success of his party.

Neighborhood Notes and Gossip.

thinking thereby to be patriotically laboring for the best interests of the country, his party leaders will be scheming and planning for places of ease and profit. Taking the two dominant parties of to-day and wherein is there any material difference in their national policies and practices? No man of any intelligence and self-respect will claim one iota of difference between them on the financial questiou; both are for a gold basis and the man who believes in this policy can vote his sentiments as well in one party as the other. But the tariff question, the all absorbing, unsettled, tariff question is the plain dividing line between democrats and republicans, say the politicians. For nigh one hundred years this tariff question, if it really be a question, has been kept before the American people, and designing politicains would have us believe that above all other issues it still claims our most careful attention. Now can it be possible that the great, intelligent, educated. American people have studied tariff for a hundred years, have had tariff high, and tariff low, and aue still undecided upon the subject, and still want to study it to the exclusion of all other political questions? Take the two old parties upon this single question that they have, for convenience, decided to divide the people upon, and what is the actual difference between them? The difference between the McKinley and the Wilson tariff amounts to about 31 cents per capita for the population of the United States; great, momentus, all absorbing, burning question is it not? thirty one-cents worth of interest the average voter will have in the coming campaign, if tariff is the issue. Often a single appropriation made by congress amounts to much more, per capita, than the difference between* democratic and republican tariff legislation, and nobody seems to notice# it. The mnch praised Wilson tariff is higher than the one recommended by the republican tariff commission under Arthur’s administration; it is higher than the republican tariff the McKinley bill supplanted, and yet in spite of all this, politicans and money changers want to make us believe there is a wide difference between democrat, aud republican tariff legislation. Had the Wilson bill really made substantial reduction in the tariff, really brought it lower than the republicans had ever had it, and then the present financial distresses had come upon us, there would have been some little room for tariff discussion between the two parties, but with a democratic tariff higher with one exception, than any republican tariff known I think there is no room for tariff dispute between these two protection parties. For the sixteen years I have been a voter, the tariff has been the main question democrats and republicans have been wont to discuss, indeed I was taught by these two parties, that there was no other question of importance demanding the voters attention. While this all absorbing question has been before the people I have seen times growing worse and worse, I have seen the homeless in creasing, millionaires multiplying, labor troubles more fre quent and severe. I have seen gatling guns backing up McKinly protection, and United States troops forcing the poor to submit to the conditions imposed upon them by the democratic tariff reform. Under the rule of neither of these two parties, has the condition of the common people been improved. The only difference we have found, in passing from one to the other is that the successor has always been moie oppressive than its predecessor.

School Enumeration.

Editor People's Pilot. The school enumeration of Indiana is showing an alarming falling off this year, most every county reporting a decrease; two, Marion and Vigo, show a loss of 13,000; even greater Rensselaer with its newly annexed divisions does not find as many children of school age as have been officially reported in former years. Figures will not lie. home examples can be understood by all; the wicked blight of the WilsonGorman tariff law 7 is preying upon every branch of American production; with its continuance a few more years, “The little red school house” will disappear from the land and Mother Winslow’s soothing syrup, for want of consumers, will find no sale. No better object lesson no plainer tariff pictures, do we need to show us the blight of freetrade than this unexpected decrease of school children in our state the past year. Protection.
