REPUBLICAN DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.

The Republicans of the Tenth Congressional District will meet in delegate convention at Logansport, Thursday, January 18, 1894, at the court house at 1:30 p.m., for the purpose of electing a member of the state central committee. The basis of representation will be one delegate and one alternate delegate for every one hundreds votes and for each additional fifty or fractional one hundred votes over fifty cast for first elector on Republican ticket in 1892. The several counties will be entitled to representation as follows: Carroll 22 Cass 35 Fulton 21 Jasper 14 Lake 30 Newton ......12 Porter 22 Pulaski .10 "White .18 Charley Harley, Chairman Tenth Congressional District.

Partisanship and not patriotism is now, as always, the ruling principle in the Democratic party. Had it not been so, Congress ■would weeks ago, have repudiated and scathingly condemned (Cleveland .. and Gresham’s infamous Hawaiian policy. Pat O’Rourke, who is a Simon Pure Democrat, boasted to Mrs. O’Rouke when he lost his place the other day: “I’m not losin’ only one half as much as I would under Mr. Harrison and Republicans. I was only gettin’ $1 per day and a year ago I was gittin’ $2.” Mrs. O’Rourke is trying to see the benefits of being a •‘Dimocrat” from Pat’s standpoint, but, being a woman finds it difficult, — Inter Ocean.

The newly elected members of the Jasper County Republican Central Committee should remember the meeting at the court house, next Saturday afternoon, to complete the’ organization,by the ejection of a chairman, vice-chair-man, secretary and treasurer. It is of the utmost importance that this duty be done carefully and ■well. Other important matters will also come up for consideration, and every committeeman in the county should be present, without fail. Hon. W. D. Owen, the ablest public man in northern Indiana, will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, this year. He can count not only on the solid but on the enthusiastic support of the Tenth District. The candidate for secretary of state will lead the state ticket this year, and in 189 G, the candidate for Governor. William D. Owen’s name would look mighty well -.right up at the top, in both cases. Although we do not know that he has any aspirations for Claude Matthews’ job.

So far. as heard from the Republicans of Jasper county i attended to the business of township organizations in good shape, last Saturday. As .reports have not been received from a number of townships, we will defer publishing names of township committees and Logansport delegates, until next week. The newly elected members of the county central committee are requested to bring in full reports of the proceedings of their township conventions, to the committee meeting, at the court house, next Saturday after* noon.

A DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATE.

tfew York Sun. Is the Wilson bill foe-the con-. Stitutional Democratic tariff fat’ revenue only ? ‘ Not much'. Is it for & tafiff. foi/jdtdlciency only? Not precisely. .It will raise some revenue. Is it for a protective tariff? Well, a sort of protective 1 tariff; but a poor and cranky sort. McKinley’s is much . better much more rational, systematic; and just to all interests. Taking revenue and anthrevenue together, the Wilson bill is a fantastic and personal bill. It is a jumble of unconstitutionalities and favoritisme, compounded to gratify the more powerful applicants for license to rob, and to vindicate the hobbies of Grover Cleveland put on record previous to the Chicago platform. It is the greatest humbug or the age.

Judge Johnston is a Candidate.

The following communication from Valparaiso appeared in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, of last Friday: Ex-Judge William E. Johnston, of this city, to-day announced himself as candidate for Congress from this, the Tenth Congressional District. Judge Johnston is an old soldier and an able jurist, and is one of the ablest lawyers in Indiana. He was the Republican candidate two years ago and made a remarkable campaign, being defeated by only 38 votes, while Cleveland’s majority in the district was 550. In the three Republican counties in this district Judge Johnston ran 217 ahead of President Harrison and in the six Democratic counties he ran 295 ahead of his ticket He is the only candidate for Congress in the history of the Tenth District who ran ahead of the Presidential candidate. Judge Johnston’s opponents nomination so far announced are Capt. F. W. Swigart, of Logansport, and Charles B. Landis, of Delphi. Mr. Johnston’s prospects for the nomination are flattering, as he will probably go into the convention with a solid delegation from the four counties, Porter, LakeJ Nekton and Jasper, in the north end of the district, and a part of the delegates from Cass, White, Pulaski and Fulton.

Of Interest to Dairymen.

Bulletin 47 of the Purdue University agricultural experiment station contains information of interest and and importance concerning the winter care of milch cows, and feeding calves. The following points of importance are brought out in the bulletin:

1. That cows exposed during the day to the inclemency of winter weather ate more food than those given the shelter of a comfortable barn. 2. That cows thus exposed gave on an average less milk per day than those not so exposed, and much less milk as a total, during the experiment, which extended over 48 days in January, February and March. 3. That the cows which were exposed to the weather, during this experiment, lost in weight, while those given barn shelter, gained in weight. 4. That there is a difference of $12.79 in favor of shelter for cows in winter. 5. Calves fed an exclusive diet of skimmed milk gained one pound in live weight for 15.6 pounds of milk drunk. 6. Calves fed skimmed milk alone made sufficient growth to pay a good profit on such feeding. Persons who desire the free publications of the Indiana experiment station can secure them by addressing, C. S. Plumb, Director Experi ment Station, Lafayette, Ind.

Its Just the Same in Rensselaer.

Rochester Republican. The new advertising drop curtain at Academy of Music is not much of an advertising medium because it has not been let down but two or three times since it was made. It cost the merchants of Rochester about one hundred dollars, but it is a regular fake, But the merchants seem to want to be swindled every semi-occasionally by snide advertisers, and in this respect they are no wiser than the farmer who bites at every bait that is presented.

OBITUARY.

J. C. KAKIB. Ou Sunday, Dec., 31st, 1893, the. remains of James C. Faris, an old and former resident of Jasper county, were interred in the Independence cemetery in Gillam township. ... He was born in Fleming County, Ky., Nov., 26th 1819, and was the fourth child of a family of eight sons and three daughters. His father John Faris, moved to Rush county Ind., in 1827, where he resided about two years, and from there moved to Indianapolis, then a small town of not over 2,000 inhabitants, where they engaged in brick making, manufacturing some of the brick used in building the first State House erected in that city. They lived at and near Indianapolis about ten years when the family came to north western Indiana and settled in or near Parish’s Grove. From Parish’s Grove the family moved to Beaver Prairie, some 15 miles west of Rensselaer, where the father of James died in 1844. His wife died in Gillam tp., in 1866. After his father’s death James took the family and moved to Rensselaer, in 1845, or 6, where they bought a small farm' where he kept the family until they were all grown up. About 1850 the deceased attended the law school department at the State University at Bloomington,. Ind., but did not follow the profession to any great extent. At the age of sixteen he embraced religion and joined the M. E. church, and was admitted as an exhorter, and soon after as a preacher in full connection, and was engaged in the work as a traveling minister for two or three years; but his health failing him he quit the traveling work and returned to the farm at Rensselaer, where he was best known as a local minister.

In 1855 he moved to Francesville, Pulaski county, and engaged in the mercantile business. While in Francesville he Jost his second wife, who was a sister of the Hon. G. H. Brown, now of Rensselaer, and by whom he_ had one son who lives in Terre Haute, and is engaged in the legal profession. He married his third wife while still at Francesville, and by whom he also has one son who also resides at Terre Haute, and was assistant postmaster during the Harrison administration. From Francesville the deceased moved to Medaryville, where he lived from 1860 until about 1882. From Medaryville he moved to Mexico, Miama county, Ind., from thence to Terre Haute, where he died at IjUo’clock Dec. 28th, 1893, after a short illness. He was 74 years, 1 mwth and 2 days old, and leaves five brothers and one sister. The remains were conveyed in a special car of the Vandalia Line to Medaryville, accompanied by his two sons and their wives and families with Drs. Green and Dale, two old ministerial friends of the deceased, who, assisted by Rev. Wiley, of the Medaryville Circuit, officiated at the funeral services at Independence Chapel, after which the remains were laid away to rest near the graves of his father and mother. B. R. F.
