REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION!

The Republicans erf the Tenth .Congressional District will meet in delegate con vein ion at Rensselßpr r Jasper .cuu.iiiv.v— lin n ana, one o’clock p. in:, on riiursdav, August 28th, ISUO, for tlie pwv}»H; x of nomiuatiug a camiicDta lor Congress. , The counties in . wad «dsti;ict will be entitled to representation in said convention as follows: Cass county 19 Carroll county 13 Fulton county 10 .Jasper county 8 Lake county 13 Newton county 0 Porter county 1.2 Pulaski county 6 White county. • • 10 E. D. Crumpacker. Chm’n Com. Speaker Reed very properly observes, in answer to the criticisms of his plan of quorum-counting, that it has been practically tested, unci the result is a record of “capable and sensible” service on the part of the house that “has attracted the approval of the whole country." This is really all that needs to be said upon the subject. When a policy is seen to work well, that is sufficient; and in the present case Mr. Reed has been thus amply vindicated. , the correspondence of the State Department in the Behring Sea controversy is highly creditable to the Administration, and the more it is read the greater will be the general admiration of the style in which Mr. Blaine has handled the subject. The Democratic papers devote themselves largely in this connection to Tory small matters. Evidently

they have no higher object than misrepresent facts with the 1 vio\v to obtaining a paltry partisan advantage. The most earnest and ardent advocates-es silver in the Western States agree that the silver bill, made a law by the, President’s signature last week, is better than free coinage. The majority of the business men and bankers of both ' -s» ! ' Eastern and Western commercial ! centers, so far as they have ex[pressed themselves, Lhink that its effect will be good. In fact, the only dissatisfied ones seem to be the! Democratic politicians whose pffort to block silver legislation failed so dismally. L The Crown Point .Register, which has been opposing Hon. \Y. D. Owen in the interest of Judge Johnson says: “Judge Johnson, whose name has been repeatedly mentioned throughout the 10th Congressional district as a probable candidate for congressional honors, we understand, declines positively and emphatically to enter the race. While Mr. J obnson has many warm persoral friends in old Lake county who would like to have him boosted into a seat in Congress the Judge probably knows his own business best. This leaves the field practically open to Billy Owen, and let’s all lay off onr coats and see that he gets there by a rousing old time majority.”

The long deferred execution of Kemmler, by electricity, took place last tveek, at Auburn, N. Y. The affair gseems to have been pretty badly bungled—so much so in fact that the popular feeling has very generally been turned against this supposed merciful and humane method of inflicting the death penalty. There is no doubt, however, but that the reporters who reported the execution, in their efforts to make ns sensational an account as possible, greatly exaggerated the unpleasant and horrible features of the affair. Further there is no good reason to believe that the physicians who ~ examined the man’s brain after death, were mistaken in asserting that he suffered no pain and that his brain was paralyzed at the first shock. The experience of other men who have endured and survived very powerful shocks of electricity corroborates the doctors’ opinions. The experience of the man Cooper, in Lafayette, only a few days ago, is a case in point. Although most ‘terribly injured and burned,he remembers nothing of the occurence after he took hold of the deadly wire. The substitution of electricity for the rope as a means of execution, was a movement in the interests of humanity and as such ought not to bfe wholly con-j detuned, on account of not perfect- j ly succeeding at the first attempt. People who deplore the scenes at the execution of Kemmler, need not remember any furtner back than the hanging of Coffee, at Crawfordsville, for a still more horrible occurrence, and one when the great bodily pain and mental agony of the victim were undeniable.

THE FOREIGN WHEAT MARKET.

Free-trade attorneys, British and American, presistently seek the support of farmers by holding out the promise of enlarged foreign markets for the products of the farm as the result of engrafting the Cobden policy into our National legislation. The hollowness of such promise becomes apparent when it is remembered that not only is the quantity of farm products which foreigners will consume limited, but that the privilege of supplying this is contested by other fanners who are in position to crowd prices below the cost of production in this country. Take the case of wheat, which is the chief j article of export from grain-raising J farms. Last year the wheat ship- i ped abroad as grain and floor amounted to , about 89,000,000 bushels. Of this nearly four-fiths ■

went to Western Europe—over 55, 2851, 584 bushels of it to Great Britain, which was least han the average sold there for the past eigh-j teen years. Such falling off i#the quanity sold to our British customers ie not- the- result of our inability to supply their needs, foul of the fact that wheat raisei;s from other countries were on hand a " as competitors ready tell for a less price than American wheat raisers could afford to take for their grain. While the quantity of American wheat sold to Great Britain fell off from over ninety million bushels in 1887, to fifty-five and a quarter million bushels in 1889, the quantity supplied by Russia i-n creased nearly fourfold in the same time—that is to say, from 10,354,607 bushels in 1887; to over 39,800,372 bushels in 1889. Not becaue the United States had not the wheat to sell, but because wheat coud be bought cheaper from Russia than America. Consumers were too hard pressed by poverty to give heed to theories of reciprocity in commerce. They bought their bread of those who sold cheapest, and as the Russian serf works for dess money than has to be paid the American farm laborer, not only have prices been hammered down, but Russian wheat —supplemented—by more titan sixteen million bushels from India in 1889 —has been crowding the American product from the markets of Western Europe. This is the unequal contest to which free-trade attorneys urge the American farmer. In pursuit of the phantom of a foreign market in which he can sell only at a loss, they ask him to cripple the recourses of that home market which now consumes nine-tenths of all farm products, and which will, if adequately protected against under paid labor, in the near future supply American consumers with a market for all that the American farmer has to sell.

EVERYBODY READ

The Rensselaer Flouring Mill has been thoroughly renovated and repaired and is now doing as good a business as any first class mill in the state. We will take farmers’ wheat and store to exchange for flour. Will also pay the highest cash price for good wheat, and all who have flour to buy will save themselves money by buying at the Mill or of our agents. We will sell first class flour for less money than you can buy any other good grade in the county. We are now prepared to grind rye, either for flour or chopped feed, any day in the week. V Thanking all old customers for j their patronage we invite as many new ones as wish to give us a trial , for which we will guarantee satisfaction. } , RexssklaEr Miixixe Co. (Successors to E. N.
