Our good friendsythecandidates for the nominations for couuty offices on the Republican ticket, are requested to take notice, that the official call for the convention will be issued next week and that the announcements of all who have so authorized, will appear at the same time. Those who are thinking of seeking a nomination and desire to start right up with the front of the procession, will do well to remember this fact, and send in their names accordingly. The Democratic Sentinel, after making the false and utterly preposterous statement that the action of the Jasper County Board of Education, last fall, in regard to the Indiana School Book Cornpauyjjs books, has caused the loss of thousands of dollars to the school patrons of the county, also states that said action, such as it was, was on the pait of the Repub-! lican trustees of the couuty. The facts of the case are that the Board simply decided not to force the books into the schools, against the wishes of the patrons, until the questions of the constitutional and J scope of the law were fully settled and determined; but that the books should be ordered and kept by the i Trustees and sold to everyone desiring and their use permitted in •the schools, by all who wished to use them. In this eminently wise and conservative decision, the Trustees were a unit. Not a single man, Democrat or Republican, j but what was in f avor of it. Furthermore, it is a fact apparent to! anyone who wishes to investigate the matter, that the Democratic Trustees of the county have made no more effort than the Republicans to encourage the introduction of the books into the schools of their respective townships, Take Jackson Freeland, for instance, the rock-rooted Democratic Trustee of Newton township. There is probably no Trustee in the county that has sold a less number of the books, thau he has. Have the people noticed recently the numerous telegrams announcing defalcations, especially among the office officials ? Do not let anybody suppose that these are appointees of President Harrison. ~ They are every one appointees of President Cleveland. A" recent special dispatch from Washington concerning this subject, has this to say; “That the voters of the United States acted wisely in retiring the late Democratic adinistration is becoming dimly more and more apparlack of integrity in Democratic of"ncial circles are now commg to light. Since the 4th of last March the Republicans have been in possession of the books of the department of the interior, and tin- Domocratef who have been keening tlie accounts for four years are now out of office. Among the first discoveries made was e vidence of afchoi'tage in the accounts of various receivers of local land offices in the

West. These shortages are.so universal and so extensive as to lead to the belief that the Democrat in offiice is very unreliable. About thirty of these Democratic receivers havo gone wrong, and suit will be brought against each oneof them to recover the moneys unaccounted for. All of these officers are bonded, and when they fail to settle the accounts found short, their bondsmen will be sued. Five of these officials have Been removed from office since the discovery of the shortages, and a number were changed during the summer and fall before the discovery was made. The few receivers of this sort still in office will be removed at once.”

The Tariff and the Farmer.

A queer howl is going on among the free traders, intended to attract the farmer. Every evil in society, in the commercial or busi- 1 ness world, is traeeable to the tariff Every year has its business failures, but most of them are in the mercantile or manufacturing lines, and of all the thousands and hundreds of thousands of them, there is scarcely a farmer among and if there is one, it will be fouud that he added some speculative enterprise to the legitimate work of farming. The New Albany (Ind.) Tribune treats this subject in inimical style. The Tribune says: “Just now the great political wail of the time is the woe-begone, poverty stricken condition of the crushed and debtridden farmer. What insufferable nonsense it all is! The whole of it is nothing but the toot-horns of demagogues. It is the noise of free trade roust-a-bouts trying to make the people whose average condition is better and safer than any others, believe that they are just on the borders of starvation, and when they have developed a a copious flow of crocodile tears bewailing the misfortunes of the ‘poor and oppressed farmers,’ they burst forth in mighty chorus, ‘lt is all on account of the tariff’ The grasshoppers, in swarms that darken the sun, sweep over the western plains and the grain fields of the faimer where they alight, disappear. In that locality the farmer is hard pushed, for the results of his labor are gone. But — it is the robber tariff that has despoiled him. A prolonged drouth comes upon a section of country, and the farmer’s fields are blasted. And the howling dervishes of the day wail in unison. ‘lts the robber tariff that brought the calamity.’ A mighty flood of water comes down upon the rich bottom lands along a river, and the farmer is s tri ppod eftbe products of ur year. He feels poor, of course he does, and the free trade mountebanks beseige him with their hired mourning and vociferously declare that it is all on account of the tariff When cattle have murrain it is the tariff When sheep have the rot, it is the tariff. When hogs sicken and die it is the tariff. When winter freezes or weevil shrivels the wheat it is the tariff’. When curculio blasts the plums, when peach trees die and frosts nip all the tender fruit buds, it is the tariff. It would be a fortunate thing for the country if frosts would freeze, drouth wither, grasshoppers bite, and floods wash out to a shoreless sea all these mischievous prophets of evil, that their voices, might no more be heard in the laud, and that peace and prosperity "might reign undisturbed.”

THE SEW TARIFF BILL.

It Will Protect the Farmer, the Miner and the Man Who Toils in t hop and Foundry. i * To tlie'Editor of tlie Indisinapols Journal: The committee on ways and means cf the lionse of Represent--1 atives is the principal center of at- ! traction just now. They are just 1 putting the finishing tbuches on I their arduous labors of the last I three months, and next week will 1 report bill representing “tariff reform” on the line of protection to American [industries, which, for simplicity of [woffling, effectiveness, and careful j consideration of all the diversified ! interests of the country has never

± A - been equalled. This committee deserve the unqualified thanks or the country for their patience and industry in- framing this exellent bill, which says so far as a tariff bill may say it, that everything iwed in this country that can be produced on the farm, or in the shop, or from the mines shall be produced in this country. It is generally called here “the farmers’ bill,” and to illustrate*how carefully they have looked after the interests of the farmer 1 submit a partial list of products covered by this bill giving duties proposed by the committees on ways and means compared with present duties on some farm products: Proposed.

The shops and the mines of the country have been cared for with equal solicitude. The wording of the bill is so simple and direct that evasions of the law will be reduced to minimums. The lawyers, doctors and preachers ard the only classes that I can think of who are not directly benefitted by this bill.: These classes will have to look to the general prosperity of the country which is sure to follow the passage of this bill for their share of good times sure to result. These classes are generally supposed to be able to take care of themselves and secure a fair share of the good things as they are passed around. Geo. Merritt. Washington, D. C. March 22.

The Republican Central Committee.

The Republican County Central Committee held an important j meeting, Monday afternoon. The time, place and manner of nominating the county candidates for next November’s election were the chief matters under consideration. It was decided to adopt the combined primary election and gate convention method, which has" proved so popular and satisfactory among the Republicans of this county, heretofore. A single direct ballot will be taken for popular choice for candidates, and at the same time delegates to a county convention will be elected. The primary elections will be held on Wednesday. May 21, at 5 o’clock P. M. y and on the day following the county convention will meet in the court house at Rensselaer, at one ( c \uc*k P. M. Tbe number of delegates at this coiiveidhui from • each township shall consist of one delegate for each 15 votes cast for Governor Ilovey, in 1888, and one for each fraction of 15 of 8 or more. As many primary meetings shall be held as there are delegates to be elected. The county convention of May 22 shall count the popular vote of the day before, and all candidates having received a majority of all the votes cast shall be declared nominated; after wnich the convention will proceed in the usual manner and make nominations for all those offices Tor which no persofi received a majority vote, at the primary elections. G. E. Marshall tendered is resignation as secretary of the Central Committee and Arthur H. Hopkins was elected to fill the vacancy.
