A Rensselaer correspondent of the Eemington News advocates changing the time of the Republican Primary election from August 14th to ah earlier day, hot gives no reason why a .change would rbeneiicial except that it would be to the advantage of the candidates for the nominations to have the.matter settled, and “The agonv over with". Now as it heppens the Central Committee, in fixing the time for holding the Primary Election, were guided by what they thought to be the interests of the party generally, and the convenience of the masses of the Republican voters, rather than regard for what might possibly be most convenient for the candidates, More especially were they solicitous jo accommodate the time to suit the convenience of Hhe farmers. The nature of the work to be done and the number of delegates to be chosen made it entirely impracticable to ncmii. nate the county ticket at the same time that tl\e delegates to the various district conventions were chosen, (now set for June 21st Jl; and the attempt to have done so would have resulted in confusion and general dissatisfaction. But even the candidates are by no means unanimous in desiring a change, nor do we believe in fact that a majority of them .could agree upon any other day in preference to the one already sel. In fact this subject has been already pretty thoroughly canvassed by the candidates and the matter went so far that a petition asking the central committee to change the time was drafted. Only six candidates have so far been willing to sign the petition, while at least five have expressed their disapproyal of the change, in the bearing of the editor of this paper, J f the central committee can be convinced that a change is desired by a majority of the Republican voters of the county, we doubt not but that it would be made, but there is no probability that they will take such a step on no better evidence of such a desire than has yet been produced.

On High License and Prohibition.

Editou Recubld an :—I see from your editorials that you are in favot; of a license law to regulate the liquor tariff. Will you be so good as to tell us of some place where a license law has ever stopped the sale of liquor? You shtisv that some places have a less nvnuber of saloor.s; vm you show that less liquor is sold? Will you tell us what the difference is in the spirits sold under free and • license law? Whether a perron will become iuloxioated as quick uniter one as the pQier? W hether a man (or boy) when under its influence w.ll cot howl, swear, use obscene language, quarrel, fight, wallow in the gutter and make day an j’ night hideous under ouo as the oilier. What' greater advantage extends to Ilie family of the parly using it? Whether the suffering of wife and children arc auy'the less? Whether parents have any consolation in seeing their offspring going to des'rucfjon under a license la\vf H'hether there is auy mitigation iu crime committed in the use of license than Lee whisky and if so where our laws favor the hist? Now please do not run off into revenue, the amount of money derived, the advantage to the school fond] tfcc, as thgt part of the subject is well worn and fully understood, bat enlighten the public upon thyq irsiions prtsenled ns they ' of the subjects that interest tLc better part dS teiur"6crrUv niuni - t . PnoHißiTioN. lieiore,,procetding jo answer any of our critic’s lmrd questions we will first tltke occnsiou to sthte briefly ' the kind- of temperance laws we believe best adapted to the u nfits i imd wisiios of the Indiaiih, ar the present

time.. f-We favor a law which will suppress the liquor business entirely in communities where the temperance public sentiment is strong enough to enforce such a law, and which will regulate the traffic and mitigate its evils in communities where it Can not be suppressed. In other words we favor a combined local-option and high license law. A law which would give prohibition to fcomm uni ties which favored prohibition and wmch would put a heavy tax and strict restrictions upon the liquor business in all others. We believe that the temperance people of this state could, if they would,, secure .the passage of such a law at the very next session of the legislature, without difficulty, while the prospects for absolute prohibition appear to us very remote indeed... Such a Law would be vast]y in advance of anything vve have now upon our statute books in the way of temperance laws, and indeed would be a sure precursor of complete prohibition, if prohibition was found to work well iu such communities as adopted it, under the local-option provisions of the law, and in our neighboring states ' which are now tryiug the experiment of prohibition, under much more favorable conditions for complete success than exist in Indiana at the present time. As for the points made by “Prohibition” in the above communication most of them are either ironical or irrelevant, and need no particular attention. A hig.h license law, of itself is of course not calculated to stop the sale of liquor altogether, although it will have that efiect in many small towns, in any state where adopted, as in the case in Illinois to-day, and if the license had been made not less than SSOO, in any case the instances would be much more common in that state. That less liquor is sold in towns which have a high license, and put the liquor trade only into the hands of responsible men, than in free whisky, or low license towns, is a matter of which we have no doubt whatever. To diminish the number of saloons,, and to place those that remain under strict regulations and only in the hands of responsible men, is, certainly, to greatly d iminish the the amount of liquor sold. In this connection, we will quote a few of the many similar remarks that were made at a preliminary meeting held at Joliet, 111., on Monday of last week, iu interest of sustaining the high license law of that city. All good citizens of that place seem to unite in pronouncing high license a success; but we shall content ourselves with a quotation or two from each of the three protestaut clergymen present: • *; < ' ‘•Rev. Mr. Ladd said that every Methodist. preacher was a prohibitionist, if you can get a thousand dollars, do it. if you can get tear thousand dollars, gel it. .When ne came hero license was iow. lie saw many more drunken mon ! and km limes more- drunken police* l men "' ] “Rev J. Lewis said ihe air was not . .* •<. i * When he came to Jobe*. ; When *h« license Was raia d to SSOO i the place was safer. The next year, ] when it .became. SI,OOO, the atmosphere j was iai|oh clearer. High liwit-m does i notciiauge the character of liquor soij Jug. li is always bad. But it uei-reashs ! the number of saloons. ’* i - ' . • i “Rev. r. A. Hardin wanted to discuss license as a police measure. He thought ( the SI,OOO license was a success. It, ; would be unwise to make a change. ! He. thought it wo went back, to low license, tue effect would be so bad that j there Would not be a. grease, spot of those who voted to reduce it. Joliet is I the best-governed city iu the State, lie j-nad. seen fewer drunken men in the i "tracts Lhan in any other city of Joliet's , size. 1 ’ 1 ... j .... • ... - - The Republic?a. campaign -in Jasper county will commence with j the hoteling of the delegate precinct mass conventions, on June | 25th, 1884. The manner of select- | mg delegates, adopted com- ! of exact equality of rights for each i and every Republican voter. A J mass convention for the whole j c >ooty has been the prefe, and those living more remote have I made j ust complaint. Each lias, | now an opportunity as proving j ariiether he desires to take part in

the selection of delegates. The experiment is made in the interest of the rani and file. The result will be watched with interest. If, these conventions are largely attended, and wise action is taken, tile old rule will be changed. While on the other hand, if the the attendance be meagre, and the results unsatisfactory, the old plan will be resumed. The voters present should select, ais delegates and alternates, able and influential men, who will have the discretion and zeal to impress the conventions they attend with the wisdom of your preferences for candidates for Congressman, Judge, Prosecuting attorney and Representative. In selecting delegates, the voters should have regard for the following qualities: Ist.—Ability to present your views in convention. 2nd. —Acquaintance with the 'district, and its influential men. 3rd. —Disposition to select the very best attainable candidate, if unable to procure your choice. 4th.—" Willingness to attend the district convention as a delegate. In voting for candidates for Congressman, Judge, Prosecuting 'attorney and Representtati ve, it would be well to cast aside all bias and local jealousy —late into consideration the duties to be performed—and choose from the entire district the person who, in your judgment, will be the ablest and best man for the place designated.

The Congressional district includes the counties of Benton, Carroll, Cass, Fulton, Lake, Jasper, Newton, Porter, Pulaski and White. .Make enquiry as to capability, honesty and worth, and take your choice of all. ■ No one will decline if nominated by the people. . The Judge administers the laws m the counties of Benton, Newton and Jasper, and ought, of course,, to have a knowledge of jurisprudence, and be an exemplary citizen. Any Lawyer in the district would, probably, accept the place, if selected therefor. The Legislative district includes the counties of Newton and Jasper. This is a position rather cf honor than profit to the recipient. We ; , need an able, practical and efficient legislator, and your choice will be ratified in November. Let the selection be a creditable one. The ballot taken at the mass conventions is to control the delegate in his initial vote in convention. Should the contest in the district convention require of the delegate an exercise of discretion, your ballot will inform his mind, but not bind his conscience. The f . delegate ought to exercise his best judgment, after having voted the will of his constituents without effect. It will be greatly to the credit of the Republican voters of Jasper county if they will, show, by their ballots, a wise discretion in the selection or their delegates, and in naming suitable persons as candidates. Let every Republican voter go to the conventions, and do the best he can. ■ -
