Miss Rose Elizabeth ,Cleveland nas about concluded arrangements 'to go to Chicago to assume the the editorial charge of a literary ’magazine of great pretensions, but -mall circulation, called “Literary Life.” We judge by the general tone of her letters to the publishers of the magazine, which have been published, that she expects to soon make Chicago the literary and intellectual center of the universe. "

, The first number of the new Francesville paper, the Francesville Tones, came f to hand last week. It is a five column quarto, in size, and neutral in politics. The first number shows up well for local news, but mighty poor for advertising patronage. The proprietor is E. DeForest, a newspaper man of 15 years experience, and the same by-tlie-way, if we are not misinformed, that started the first paper eVer published in Remington, in this county. We wish the new venture good success. After all that has been said and printed regarding the need of a navy, and of our miserably defenceless condition in case of insult or assault by any nay al power of the world, Congress is about to to appropriate a beggarly four

millions to rebuild. the American navy! The suin would not build equip more than one good man-of-war, able to cope with the best vessels of any foreign naval power. It is just about the amount that Great Britain spends every month upon her navy, upon an average. - Copiah County, Mississippi, old •Bloody Copiah” where whiskey imd bloodshed have been the ruling forces for years, is the latest instance of the success of the Local Option principle in dealing with the liquor question. In that county “No License” carried by a small maprity, a year or two ago. On Wednesday of last week another vote was taken and this time the anti-liquor party again carried the county, - and by a tremendous majority. In Hazelhurst the vote was at the ratio of two to one. In Crystal Springs ten to one and in Wesson 280 to 2. It is stated that “Copiah has become the most orderly and enlightened county in all Mississippi under a strict enforcement of her prohibition laws.” Many other Counties in the same state have, gone the same way, and others are likely soon to follow The temperance people of the south are wiser than some of their northern brethren, and do they never commit the grea? error of “Mixing Temperance vith Politics.” Tliereareno “t>ird party prohibitionists” in the Sojth—nor other place for that matter, -’Vtafferthe Prohibition pecple un_ aetfctand their best interests.

The high-license plan has worked well wherever it has been adopted. Supplemented by practical temperance misSKJhary work, it forms a potent and beneficient agency of moral reform. Its growth is fostered by rational ideas of the limitations of police restraint, not by hot house currents of fanaticism and bigotry. The policy which it embodies is one in support of which patriotic and sober-minded citizens may heartily unite. — Philadelphia Record. ’

The Judicial Convention.

The convention to nominate a Republican candidate sot Prosecuting Attorney for the 30th Judicial Circuit, was held at Fowler yesterday. It was a very amicable convention, characterized by the utmost good feeling. Dr. 8. C. Maxwell, of Remington was made chairman of the convention, and discharged the duties of the place in an entirely creditable manner. When the convention was ready to proceed to ballot for a candidate the Hou. U. Z. Wiley, of Fowler, put in nomination John T. Brown, of the Benton county bar; and Capt. B. R. Faris, of Gillam township, presented the name of E. W. Mai s hall, of the J asper county bar. No other candidate being presented the first ballot decided the contest in favor of Capt. Marshall, by a vote of 31 for Brown, to 3'.) for Marshall. Of 81 delegates elected to the convention, 71 were present, in person, or by alternates. Six of the absentees were of Jasper county. The Convention voted by ballot, upon the call of the names of the delegates, in alphabetical order, thus obliterating county lines and giving no opportunity for the objectionable “unit rule’’ to be put in prae tice.

An Omission Supplied.

The Message of last week reprints a portion of the article in the Democratic Sentinel, of the" week previous, signed “Young Democrat,” but by an inscrutible over-sight leaves out the most interesting and instructive part of it We cheerfully make good this omission of the Message, in the following extract from the article above mentioned: Mr. James’ whole career in politics has been obnoxious in the extreme to Democrats and all who differed with him.. He entered upon the years of manhood in the ranks of the Republican party, and the drill, discipline and associations of Republican teachings are impressed upon him.~ffe“engaged in the newspaper business, and became the mouthpiece of the then dominant political patty. His criticisms of the Democratic party and Democratic candidates Were, generally of such a character as neither to add strength to his own or weaken the cause of his opponents. Of the local candidates of our party, Hon. Geo. Major, Hon. George H. Brown, Henry A. Barkley, Charles H- Price, Ezra 0. Nowels, Wm. E. Moore, Dr. J. H. Lough ridge, W. G. Smoot and a score of others, have been the objects of his vindictive spirit. Notwithstanding his alacrity in the performance of the dirty work of his party, he has not been rewarded in proportion to his demand, nor inn manner in the least gratifying to his egotism. He demanded the mission to Panama, and fraud Hayes insultingly flung in his face the beggarly and unimportant appointment to Turk Island. After protracted pleadings, and extended visits to Washington, he was given the appointment to the Rensselaer post-office. His ambition still unsatisfied, he craved the portfolio of the Indiana State Department, which was promptly and emphatically refus.ed When in charge of the postoffice, without regard for the spirit of the civil service law, he devoted time and labor in the interest of the republican candidates, his late eye decorator being one <pf them. As Democrats we entertain no respect, and need w aste no sympathy in that quarter. To us it should be a matter of congratulation that his aspiration to resume a leadership has been clipped, his hopes crushed, and his pride humbled by a robust pugilistic brother of his own political faith. Call and see us this. 1 week in our new room. Laßue Bros.

Last Week’s Convention

What wag Done and Who Were Elected Delegates The ’’ownship Republican conventions! of last Thursday nfternoon, were as well attended as could have been expected, considering the busy time of year, and the fact that the only work for them to do was the choice of delegates to district conventions,—a work of great importance but not one that commonly arouses much interest among the people. The question of the candidate for State Senator was the chief point of contest, all over the three counties. The matter of Candida® for Prosecuting Attorney, also attracted considerable attention. For Representative there was no opposition to Mr. Dunn, and candidates favorable to his renomination wore electee? in both the counties of the legislative dw- . ■C , T.-.-'•J.L 7...' In both precincts of M«rion 'township delegates favorable to S: P. Thompson for Senator and R. W. Marshall for Prosecutor were chosen.

In Carpenter township was the most energetic contest of any place in the district Thompson and Hartley were both day of tin* convention, looking after their own interests. It having been, for many years, Mr. Hartley’s place oi residence he of course was as strong there as any place, and the result was that Hartley’s delegates were elected, but by very small majorities, in both precincts of the township. In Newton township the convention was unanimous for Thompson, lii Jordan, the delegates were instructed sot Thompson, and for Dan Fraser for Prosecutor. Union township was unanimous for Thompson, and otherwise uninstructed.

Barkley Was unanimous for Thompson and Marshall. The same can -be said of Walker Keener, Kankakee. Gillam, and we belipve, Milroy and Hanging Grove. In Newton county; so far as reports now indicate Thompson and Marshall are largely in the lead. Jefferson tp., in which is Kentland instructed for Thompson. Grant tp., in which is Goodland, instructed for Hartley. Lincoln tp., (Rose Lawn) was for Hartley. In Lake tp., (Lake Village) 35 voters were at the convention and all but 3 were for Thompson. Below is the list of delegates to the different conventions, as far as have been reported from Jasper county.

The Representative Convention.

The convention to nominate a Republican candidate for Representative in the State Legislature for Jasper and Newton Counties was held at lair Oaks, in Jasper county, last Tuesday. There is no hall of suitable size to accomodate such a convention at Fair Oiks, and it was held out of doors, upon a platform prepared for the purpose. The convention was organized by electing Editor French, of Kentland, chairman. Andrew Hall, of. Kentland, then moved that the Hon. I. 1). Dunn, of Jasper comity, be re-nominated by acclamation, introducing his motion with a very neat little speeeh in favor of Mr. Dunn. The motion carried unanimously, and Mr. Dunu then accepted the honor in a brief but very fitting and appropriate speech. Nearly every delegate elected in the two counties was present, and eveYy township was represented. • The utmost good feeling and enthusiasm for the cause prevailed.

A Democratic Opinion.

The Louisville Courier Journal the leading Democratic paper of the South, thus freely expresses its opinion as to the manner in which the Democratic party has kept its pledges. The democratic party was large enough two years ago to elect Mr. Cleveland and to secure a majority in the house; but what is its victory worth ? Has it cut down expenses to any considerable extept? . Ha,s it in any degree improved the currency? " ' Has'it done anything whatever to improve the industrial depression? Did its party’s majority in the house prevent the passage of an extravagant river and harbor bill ? Are the pension bills in danger because the democrats control the committees? And, most important of all, has a democratic victory lightened taxation at any point, or diminished’ the annual surplus; a surplus which is ths one excuse for extravagant appropriations and the cause of corrupt legislation? In fact, it was to all intents a fruitless victory. The promises of relief held out in our national platform have not been kept. The hope that extravagance. would end, economy prevail, and a reduction of taxation would be made, limiting the revenues to the actual needs of economical go zernment has died.
