Congressional District Convention.

The Republicans of the 10th congressional district will meet in delegate con vention at 2 o’clock p. m., on Thursday, January 23,1890, at Hohman’s Opera House, in the city of Hammond, Lake county, Ind., for the purpose of electing a member of the Republican State central Committee for the campaign of 1890. The counties in said district are entitled to representation in such convention as follows: Carroll Co. is entitled to 26 votes. Cass “ u 38 ” Fulton “ “ 21 “ Jasper “ “ 16 “ Lake “ “ 25 “ Newton “ a 13 “ Porter “ “ 24 “ Pulaski “ “ 12 “ White '• “ 19 “ E. D. Crumpacker, Chairman, Com.

Senator Gorman, the democratic boss of Maryland, has sat down hard on the Australian ballot system movement, in that state. He declares that it is a scheme to keep the democrats out of power, because, as he says, and he ought to know, that the great mass of voters too ignorant to read, and therefore to handle the Australian ballots, are Democrats. It is supposed that Gov. Hill, of New York, took the same view when he vetoed such a law in his state. The Gerrymander Democrats who made a star-chamber caucus measure of the new ballot law in this state, thought they were making ample provision tor their illiterate compatriots when they invented the plan to have each ticket designated by a-little picture, so that those who could not read might

see where to stamp their ballots, by aid of the picture. It was a pretty ingenious scheme, as was also the provisions in the law which require commercial travelel ers, nine-tenths of whom are Republicans, and Federal office-hold-ers to be registered or lose their votep. But we do not believe that the advantages gained by these two schemes will begin to compensate the Democrats of this state for what they will lose by the adoption of a measure so generally antagonistic to corrupt methods in politics as is the Australian voting system, and after one or two elections are held under it, they wil] be clamoring for its repeal.

The Republican is in favor of Chicago for the Worlds Fair, but we must admit that we are not favorably impressed with the manner in which the managers of the Chicago movement are purporting to establish the fact that a sufficently.large and reliable. guarau-

tee fund has been subscribed in Chicago, It was loudly proclaimed, many weeks ago, that the fund had long passed the 5 million dollar mark and was well on towards the completion of the second 5 millions. The opponents of Chicago were not slow in declaring

the greater part of this claim to be simply a piece of “Chicago bluff” and said that the fund subscribed was not nearly so large as claimed, and that even what had been subscribed was largely by irresponsible parties who would probably never pay any more than the two per cent requi red at the outset, and perhaps not even that much. In apparent answer to this cavil, the managers of the movement began about seven weeks ago, to publish in the Chicago daily papers, the subscriptions in detail, with names of subscribers and the amounts of their subscriptions. Now this list, so far as it has appeared, and a considerable installment appears each day, goes farther towards proving the truth of what the enemies of the city have• claimed, than the opposite. For J the first two or three weeks the [ publications made an excellent i

showing, the subscriptions were large, and by responsible parties, and the sum (total of the published list grewrnfomil lions very fast, but since that time the publications have been very discour agin g. Lon g lists of names are published every day, but their subscriptions are very small in amount, and for the most part, by irresponsible parties, employes of different establishments, from whom nothing could be collected by law and who will pay their subscriptions when the time com.es, or not, just as they please. Up to last Monday the total amount of subscriptions published,including the responsible and irresponsible, was, $3,634,780. For the last two weeks the daily additions to this published list have averaged less than $30,000 per day. At that rate it will be past the middle of February be- j fore the publication of the first $5,000,000 is completed, or until after Congress ought to have settled the location, one way or the other; while if the guarantee fund really reaches the eight millions or more that it is claimed to, Congress will have a chance to adjourn next summer and meet again in December, before the publication is completed. If Chicago has really got the fund subscribed it claims to have, and wants to convince the people of the fact in time to influence the action of Congress, the linked-sweethess-long-drawn-out method of publishing the list had better be dropped at once; the present method of making the publications will diminish the ardor of many friends and not disarm the criticism of a single foe. . •

FARMERS SHOULD FAVOR PROTECTION.

The attorneys for free foreign trade are persistent in their appeals to the farmer. Professing the utmost solicitude for his welfare, they seek to mislead him into the support of a policy that will inevitably impair the purchasing ability of those who are now his

chief customers. Ninety-five per cent, of all the products of American farms are now consumed by American people. A larger majority of these would be unable to buy in quantity and quality as they now buy were it not for the wages received for labor in industries which, under free trade, would be divided if not altogether given over to people fed and clothed from pioduets of foreign fields. In return for his aid in overturning the existing business arrangements, the farmer is promised lower prices for what he has to buy, and is asked to believe that foreign customers will be found to take the place of those he may lose The fallacy of such teaching, as well as the hollowness of the promise, lifes in the assumption that the farmer’s success is any Jess dependent upon a general prosperity than that of his fellow men in other callings. Farming is but one of the essentials to complete national economy, and a farmer can no more make his business profitable in the absence of good customers, than can the merchapt or maaufacturar. And Inscustomers must necessarily be found outside of those who are engaged in agriculture. Without steady work and for laborers, merchants, clerks and the army of working people now find it more to their interest to buy than to produce the varied products of the soil they consume, the farmer would be compelled to confine his efforts to the few products that can be shipped abroad. Equally unreliable is the free trader’s contention that the farmer gets no direct benefit from the ex- j

isting tariff. During the year ending June 30, 1889, dutiable field pioduets, such as live animals, breadstuff's, milk, butter, cheese, hay, hops, tobacco, vegetables, wool, were imported to the value of over $44,000,000. To this sum may be added the items of hemp and flax amounting to $11,500,000, and more than $7,000,000 worth of fruits on which duty was paid. Every dollar exacted from foreigners, for the privilege of selling these articles in competition with the products of American fields, served as protection to the producers of domestic products. The free trade policy of England has reduced the number of her farms, as well as the profits of those remaining under tillage, and as similar results will surely follow its application in this country, the farmer should be the last man to vote for a change in that direction .

Death of Samuel A. Fulton.

Samuel A. Fulton, until last year ■ a resident of the vicinity of Rensselaer, died at his home at La Grange," Upok"“COunty, HL, last Thursday, Jan. 2, of a lung trouble, after an illness of about two weeks. He was born October 16, 1819, i in Ontario county, N. Y., and was married October 17,1843, to Hannah M. Larkins. He united with the Presbyterian church the same year. In 1879 he came to Rensselaer, where he was an elder in the Presbyterian church until he removed to LaGrange, HL, Nov. 18, 1888. During his married life he lived at lowa City, lowa, Monroeville, Ohio, Effingham, 111., and Flint Creek, N. Y.

Y.; Lelia Loshbough j and Alida Coen, California. Mr. Fulton was an unassuming, consistent member of the Presbyterian church for 47 years, and died in the faith in which he lived. He was 71 years, 2 months and 18 days old.

Death of Mrs. Rebecca J. Yeoman.

After long years of sickuess and suffering Mrs. Rebecca J. Yeoman died last Sunday, at the residence of her son, A. K. Yeoman, at Pleasant Ridge, at the age of a little more than 69 years and 2 months, Her funeral was held Monday forenoon, at the place where she died, and was conducted by Rev. M. L. Tressler, and attended by a large number of people, considering the state of the weather and roads. Mrs. Yeomao.waa...bQrtt. in Ross county, Ohio, in 1821. Married in 1841 to Eli Yeoman, who died at Rensselaer in 1882. In 1856 she came to Jasper county and lived for 30 years on the old Yeoman homestead, adjoining Rensselaer on the northwest For the last few years she has lived with her son, at Pleasant Ridge. She was the mother of ten children, 9 eons and 1 daughter, 8 sons of whom still survive. Baldness is catching says a scientist. It’s catching flies in summer time. Use Hall's Hair Renewer, and cover the bald place with healthy hair and flies won’t trouble.

The first installment, including all Road Taxes, is payable on or before the Third Monday in April, 1890, and the second installment on or before the First Monday in November, 1890. If the first installment is not paid when due, then both installments become delinquent, and ten per cent, penalty will be added to the full amount. ALL ROAD TAXES must be paid in first installment. The Treasurer is responsible for the taxes he could have collected. Therefore, Tax Payers should remember that their taxes Must be paid every year. No County Order will be paid to any person owing delinquent taxes. The sale of lands for delinquent taxes begins on the Second Monday in February, 1890. For the collection of which I may be found at my office in Rensselaer, Jasper County, Indiana, as directed by law. Tax payers should count their change and examine their receipts before leaving the office, to be sure they are correct. PURCHASERS OF PERSONAL AS WELL AS REAL PROPERTY SHOULD REMEMBER THAT TAXES FOLLOW THE PROPERTY, SHOULD THE TAXES REMAIN UNPAID. Call on the Auditor or Board of Commissioners for rebate of taxes. The Treasurer must collect as he finds them charged upon the duplicate. If you pay taxes in more than one township, mention it to the Treasurer. DO NOT ASK TO HAVE RECEIPTS MADE UP AND HELD FOR WEEKS AND MONTHS. I especially urge all tax payers to pay promptly and prompt payers should use their influence upon delinquents so that the rate of taxation may to the minimum. Preserve your receipts, especially if you move from one township to another, m the county. Persons living at a distance can send bank or express draft. Enclose postage stamp when answer is expected by mail. < X-' \ — —— —— 1 ‘.7—-7-I. E. WASHBTTBK, Txeasviiex Tasper Co.

Nervous Derangement and Constipation.

After years or suffering from nervous derangement and constipation, and after being treated by constipaton and after being treated by several leading physicans, from whom I obtained no relief, I was induced to try S.
