Tenth District Politics.

The Tenth district may have a candidate for governor on the republican ticket, whose name has not been mentioned. Reference is made to State Senator Fremont Goodwine, of Warren county. Senator Goodwine is conceded to be a man whose integ - rity, honesty and general good standing has never been questioned. It is further conceded that he is one of the cleanest men, politically and morally, who ever entered Indiana polities, and some of his friends think that he would make the right Kind of a governor a few years hence. He would be, they say, a great relief to the practical politicians and two byfour statesmen who are now making the list of prospective candidates a very long one. Mr. Goodwine said a few days ago that any use of his name was without his authority, and that at this time he had no benig a' candidate for governor. But his name will not down, and as the months roll by. until it is time to talk about the next candidate for governor, Senator Goodwine's name will be mentioned more frequently than anyone talked about now, unless it is L> eute| 'antGovernor Gilbert, Many postoffices have been burglarized during the past year. Stamps in large quantities have been taken and disposed of by the thieves. Those parties have been purchasing stolen goods, whether they know it or not. Some of these parties may learn later on that the proper place to buy stamps is at the postoffice. It is susprcted that there are stamp “brokers” in most every city of considerable size who have patrons in smaller towns. The government is said to be giving this matter very close attention just now. A new use has been found for pumpkins which promises to be ar innovation in southern Illinois. An apple evaporator at Noble is being used for the drying of pumpkins, and the product finds ready sale on the market. The pumpkins are cut into strips in the same manner as apples. These evaporated strips are then pressed into cakes, which are ready for the market. This dried pumpkin has been tested by bakeries and hotels in the cities, and is pronounced superior to the canned article. It is claimed that 90 per cent, of the pumpkin can be evaporated. Rensselaer papers are complaining about the habit of spitting on the sidewalk in that city, and are trying to induce their tobacco chewers to quit using their sidewalks as spittoons without being compelled to do so by a spitting ordinance. There is no use brethren; a hog will continue in his hoggish ways, even when confined! in a pen, and you might as well put in the restraint first as last.—Monticello Democrat.
