Judge Johnson, of Valparaiso, whom the Videttc has been trying to bring out as a candidate for the Republican nomination- for Cob-* gress, postively refuses to be a candidate, ns the Videite itself is now compelled to admit. J udgv John-! sou is a good man, for any position, bnt he knows that the people want Mr. Owen retained in Congress and he does not intend - to sriaml in the way of their desires in that particular.

The passage by Congress ot the bill authorizing the building of three powerful armored battleships was an excellent move, and we only wish the number provided for had been a dozen instead of three. The new vessels will be, by far, the most formidable fn our navy, and while they are to be of only 9,000 tons displacement, it is expected that American engenuity will make them equal in fighting power to the 14,000 ton vessels of England aDd other foreign countries. The United States does not need a powerful army but it doee need b good navy.

The Republican Congressional Committee will meet at Logansport August 6th, to determine the time and place for the congressional convention. Rensselaer, as the county seat of the banner Republican eon nty r wants the convention and wants it bad, and ought to have it without any question. The town is as easily accessible from all parte of the district as any town in the district; has an abundance of good hotel accommodations, and .has never yet had a Republican Congressional convention. Gentlemen of the Congressional Committee, we ask you for the convention and we ask for no more than we ought of right to have. L

To Indiana Republicans.

Indianapolis, Inti-, July 25, 1890. j Section 13 of the new election j law provides that certain classes I of persons wishing to vote at tjie next election must register at least ! three months before election, by i appearing in person at the office ! of-the County Clerk and signing ! and filing notices of intention to became qualified electors. The persons who are required by that i section to register are those who, having been residents of Indiana, shall have absented themselves from the state for a period of six months or more, or who shall have gone into any other State or Sovereignty with the intention to vote therein, or during any absence in another State or Sovereignty shall have voted therein, or who shall not have been a bona fide resident i of this State and of the county in ; which he resides, at least six months before the election. The election will be held Tuesday, November 4th, 1890. ©nly those can vote at that election who had a legal residence in this State on May 31, 1890. There is no charge to the voters for making this registeration. All committeemen, and Republicans generally, are urgently requested to see that all who are required to register before voting shall be registered in the Clerk’s office of the county of their residence on or before" August 4, 1890. There should be a careful canvass of the several voting precincts by committeemen and others, to the end that there shall be a complete register of all those voters who are included in the above clauses. We trust tli/it this matter will be looked after promptly and efficiently. Yours Truly, L. T. Michenek, Chm’n. F. M. Millikan, Sec’y.

American Machinery In Europe. It is an oft repeated though . uiauy timßS-i'LVutedr Oha-rge Free Trade enemies of American industries, that machines made in America, and agricultural machines, are exported to foreign countries and there sold for less prices than the same machines are sold for here. This matter is well shown up in a letter from Id. J. Dunlap, of Illinois, now United Btates Consul, at Breslau, Germany, to the Champaign, Illinois Gazette, in the course of which-occurs the foliow- , IBgi . _-

It lifts been a favorite statement of the Democratic political orator, and many farmers have mada.it in my hearing, that “American manufacturers shipped their machines to Europe and then sold them for a less price that the American farmer paid.” I have no doubt til;it the men 'who made f.linse statements did so with honest ininleutions, but the facts are against them. Below I give the prices at which the American made machines are sold here, premising that all those named were on exhibition: McCormicks’ binder, complete $228.00 McCormicks’ selk raker, c0mp1ete,..........,..... 144.00 McCormicks’ mower, S - foot cut, 115.00 Woods’ binder, complete 276.00 Woods’ self raker, complete, 144.00 Woods’ self raker, com- - plete, light, 132.00 Woods’ mower, 96.00 D. M. Osborne & Co., self raker, 144.00 Moline Flying Dutchman riding plow, 62.50 Moline 12-inch plow, with rolling cutter 16.08 Acme harrow, 4Q,08 Philadelphia lawn mower, 14 inches 16.00 Philadelphia lawn mower 16 inche5,............. 19.00 Philadelphia lawn mower, 16 iuches, for short Let any one who desires to contrast prices call on any of the agents who sell the above and get their prices. The prices for German made machinery was no lower, while the workmanship was in every way inferior. We have taken a little trouble to find out exactly how American prices for these same machines compare with the prices in Germany, as given by Mr. Dan lap, and find that the McCormick complete binders can be bought

. . .-I q ' « ■ right here, in .Jasper county for less than half the price in Ger-. many, and all the other machines named, in the same proportion. The price of the binders here, in, to' be exact, $140; the self-rake reaper, S7O; the 5 foot mower, SSO, and so on clear through the list. The name of Judge John H. Gould, of Delphi, has been mentioned by several papers in Northern Indiana in connection with the Republican nomination for judge of the' supreme court. A successor to Judge Mitchell will be elected next fall and should the selection fall on Judge Gould the people of Indiana would have reason to congratulate themselves. By a service of twelve years upon the bench in the . judicial bench district comprising White and Carroll counties, J udge Gould has given evidence of high judicial ability. He is clear headed and fearless and as a jurist easily stands in the front rank in Northern Indiana. Judge Gould has a wide acquaintance and his nomination would greatly strengthen the State Ticket. Hejhas a splendid soldier record and to all his other qualifications adds those of the polished gentleman. The Republicans would do well to canvass the ayailibility of Judge Gould.—Marion Daily Chronicle.

Talking Out In Meeting.

l Evidently ,_tiin A inericaa-attoiy neys for free trade have not conducted business to the full satisfaction of their foreign principals. Notwithstanding the vigorous opposition the McKinley bill has encountered, the probability that it will v/ithout serious gmodification be enacted into law, occasions unusual anxiety among European manufactmers. The reiterated assurance of freetraders on this side that ers have but to add the tariff to their prices and purchasers must pay it, however effective for party purposes here, seems by no means satisfactory to such foreign manufacturers as have had practical experience with American tariffs. British manufactures are especially clos • sttuif.nfcs of our tariff legislation, ana cautiously shape their busiaecb acc u’dingly. - To IllualrW: Lastiall theT town of Llanelly, the center of the tin-plate manufacture, took "steps for" increasing the public water supply. No sooner was it announced that the KcKinley bill proposed to advance she tariff on tin-plate and render u. possible to manufacture them in this country, than a public meeting was called, at which, after assurances from the heads of all the large tin-plate works that under the proposed legislation “the time would come own tin-plates,” it was decided to postpone the work, “in order to see what would be the fate of the tariff bill” before the American Congress. Also in the center of the cutlery manufacture eqnal anxiety is manifested. A delegation recently waited on the mayor of Sheffield aad requested an official protest against the passage of the McKinley bill. The spokesman, who claimed to voice the sentiment of all Northern England, suscintly adfjurf, among other arguments for this proposed step, that “the action to be taken in Sheffield would strengthen the hands of the American opponents of the billJ” Just what this strengthening process was to be, though unauhounced at the time, may be inferred from a recent statement in the Tin-Plate Record; that “every tin-plate importer in the Country has been assessed SIO,OOO, and the English syndicate which controls the manufactories and mines in Monmouthshire and Cornwall has augmented the sum to nearly one million dollars in order to defeat the tin-plate danse in the McKinley tariff bill.*’ The Sheffield mayor*# reponse was equally suggestive, in which he insisted that British manufacturers could not afford “to stand

still and see protection measures adopted in America”—for the time was within his memory when the “American market found trade I for one-half the population of Sheffield” in making cutlery now supplied in most part by American manufacturers. It is in face of such facts as these that intelligent men in this country are expected to believe that the only effect of Protection is to add to the price of imported products. It is in furtherance of such presumptuous foreign interference with oar laws as above indicated that American voters are asked to second the British demand for free foreign trade.

Both Ankles Crushed.

In a railroad smash up in 1876, I had both ankles badly crushed. Soon after Blood Poison set in, end both legs, from my knees down, were covered with ulcerated sores, that refused all efforts to heal. I was virtually helpless for ten years, being bedridden most of the Daring all the timeTT was attended by the best physiciaqs in this section of the State and must have taken a cart load of medicine, without, receiving any relief or being benefited in any way. In 18871 was induced to try Swift’s Specific (8. S. S.) I commenced to improve from the first dose, and continued to get better, until to-day I am as sound and well as any man in the universe. This was two years ago, since which I have had no return of sores or pain in my legs. From my experience I consientiously believe that Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) has no equal as a blood purifier, aud I cheerfully recommend it to any one suffering from any disease of the blood. r~; —1 Chables E. Hamilton, Russellville, Indiana.

“UNSER HEINRICH.”

The Good Nature and Physical PrAitwi of the Kaiser's Brother. Prince Henry of Prussia, the Kaiser's brother, is the idol of the German naval service. He is the “Unser Heinrich” of the navy, just as his imperial father used to be the “Unser Fritz” of the army, and countless stories are told to illustrate his good nature, his devotion to his profession, and his physical prowess. Once, when the Olga, of which he was then a watchkeeping lieutenant, was lying in the Gulf of Kiel, the order was given through him for all hands to bathe. The weather was chilly, and an officer, , remarked to the prince that the water must be far too cold to be pleasant.* He suggested, therefore, that the order be annulled. Without a word Prince Henry, who wa3 on the bridge, sprang thence into the sea, swam to the Jacob’s ladder astern, climbed on board again, and mounting, dripping, to the bridge, said to the officer: “Do you say so now?” There'was no reply, and the prince instead of going below to change remained on the bridge in his wet clothes until his watch was relieved. Another story illustrates the prince’s activity. One day at Wilhelmshaven he put a thaler between his teeth and dashed up the rigging of his ship crying: “He who catches me shall have the thaler.” Although he was pursued by the whole of the ship’s company not on duty he was not caught, and at last swinging himself by a rope to the deck he turned to the nearest of his pursuers and said’ laughingly: “If you are as thirsty as I am you must want it, so here’s your money.”

TOLD BY THE NAILS.

Various Things AVliich You Atay Determine by Their Color or Shape. Fortune-telling by means of the finger nails, onychomancy, as it was called, was not uncommon in ancient times, The practice was to rilUTbe nails with oil and soot or wax and to hold up the nails thus prepared against the sun, and upon the transparent horny substance were, supposed to appear figures or characters, which gave the answer required. In more recent times people have been found predicting by means of the nails of the hand and telling the disposition, of persons with certain descriptions of the hails. However absurd it may appear, we shall give examples of'this superstition: A person with broad nails is of gentle nature, timid and bashful. Those whose nails grow into the. flesh at the “points or sides are given to luxury! A white mark oh the nail bespeaks misfortune. Persons with very pale nails are subject to much infirmity of -the-ftes!? - tiiicl persecution by neighbors and friends. People with narrow nails are ambitous and quarrelsome. Lovers of knowledge and liberal sentiment have round nails. Indolent persons have generally fleshy nails. Small nails indicate littleness of mind; obstinancy and conceit. . Melancholy persons are distinguished by their pale or lead-colored nails; and choleric, martial men, delighting in war, have red and spotted nails.

QUEER INDIAN TRADITIONS.

A Ball of Fire That Flays Constantly Above an Old Grave. 1 The Buffalo Express tells of an Indian’s grave along the shore of the Oneida Lake where at times a weird and supernatural light makes its appearance: - Itris described” as a'Uairof fire about the size of a largo orange, qnd sways to and fro in the air about thirty feet from the ground, confining its irregular movements within a space about one hundred feet square. People havn'attempted"To”go riear enough to solve, the mystery, but it would suddenly disappear before reaching it. A very peculiar story is told by the _neighbora-near thc#pot- -They triaim that many years ago the locality was part of an Indian reservation. A man by the name of Belknap frequently dreamed that there was a crock in the Indian cemetery containing immense treasures, and that if he went there at the hour when graveyards yawn he could secut’3 it. These dreams were repeated so often that they had a strong affect, and he went there with a pick afld shovel according to instructions, but he failed to turn round three times when he found the crock, as the dream “ttifScted. He went to pick it up, hut was Btunned by a flash of lightning, and the crock disappeared. Since that time the spot has been haunted by this mysterious light

The Power of the World.

An interesting calculation has recently been made by the statistical bureau in Berlin. Four-fifths of the powpr machines at present in activity in the world have been erected in the last twenty-five years. The country which posseses the highest amount of horse power is the United States, with 7,500,000 horse power; then follow England, with 7,000,000; Germany, with 4,600,000; France, with 3,000,000, and 1 500,000. These figures do not include locomotives, of which there are 150,000 at work, with a total horse power of 3,000,000. Thus the total horse power in the world is 46,000,000. A steam “horse power” is equivalent to three actual horses' strength and each living horse represents the strength of seven men. Thus the total horse power of the entire world represents the work of 1,000,000,000 men, -or more than twice the total working population of the earth. Steam has thus tripled the entire human work powep of 1 the earth.
