M. L. Spitler is an old resident of Jasper county, and formerly county clerk. He is a gentleman of fine ability and no better selection for the responsible position [Joint Representative] could have been made in the two counties.—GoodJand Herald.

If Cuxey is nominated for President by the Populists in 1896, as now seems probable, and should he be elected, which it must be admitted seems much less probably, that will make three times for Andrew Jack-on; fir Coxey, it must be remembered is a re-in-carnation of the great father of modern Democracy; it must be so for he s ,ys so himself, and the Populists must believe wbat he says or he would not be such a great hero among them.

The Inter Ocean of last Monday had a three column article about the situation in this 10th Indiana district, written by a special coirespondent, who has been writing up the situation in the various Illinois districts. The article is written in a spirit of great fairness and impartiality, and will have a good effect in smoothing down the asperites of the Johnston-Landis campaign.

Coxey the self-declared re-in-carnation of Andrew Jackson, has been regularly nominated by the Populists of Massillon, Ohio, district, for their candidate for Congress. He is also largely talked of as the Populist candidate for President in 1896, but if their platform and pre-amble are the same as in 1892, a re incarnated Chicago anarchist would be a more logical candidate than Andrew Jackson’s avatar.

Indiana ought to be proud of the two grand old Bourbons that represent it in the United States Senate. There are times when it seems as if Voorhees was matchless in bombastic unintelligibility, but before this becomes a settled opinion Turpie in some turgescent hood of rodomontade, compels conviction that he is the inexpressible word-swasher of the universe. Indiana ought to retire these rival Senators to a museum or an asylum for incurables.—Chicago Journal.

They will be retired all right as soon as their present terms expire. But in common humanity, we suggest they make a trial of the merits of the Keeley treatment before they are entirely given up as inincurables. Ten different makes of Sewing ma shines, At Steward’s.

English firms are sending circulars to this country offering to sell their goods, if the IFiZson bill becomes a law. it is quiteprobable that they will sell extensively if the bill passes and that the American workingman who made the same class of goods will starve or go into some other already over-crowded field of labor. This is what free trade means to a country paying good wages.

The following sent to a Connecticut house by the great English brass founders, Samuel Heath & Sons of Birmingham, is a sample of the circulars referred to: To the Company:. We have your name given us as being makers of fenders, and as you are no doubt aw’are we are the largest manufacturers of all kinds of’fittings for these articles in the world, we wish to say that, if the Wilson bill passes in you? country, we shall be very glad to call upon you sometime next September with all kinds of vases, mounts, spindles, rod ends, caps, etc., supports and tubing. We shou’d be very much pleased to hear from you, stating if you would then be in a position to favor us with an order if the goods meet with yon r approval.

In 188 d the Greenback .parly said, “one of the old parties will go to the wall this year, it don’t make any difference which, and then we will come into power.” In ’B4 and 'BB Jibe Prohibition party, which had succeeded to the Greenback estate, put forth the same claim. In ’92 the Populists who had secured the third party franchise, again made the same old claim, and after the election gleefully announced that the Republicans had gone down and now they would be the party. This year they are saying that the Republican party will be victorious and that the Democratic party will disintegrate and the Populist party will come into power in ’96. From the history of political parties since the formation of the government and especially for the last sixteen years, do the members of the Populist party really consider for a moment that they will succeed with their wild theories such as the government loaning money on real estate, going into the grain business and loaning money upon wheat receipts?— Delphi Journal.
