JORDAN TOWNSHIP CONVENTION.

The Republican voters of Jordan tp., will meet at EGYPT SCHOOL HOUSE, at 2 o’clock p. m., on SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1894. For the purpose of nominating a full township ticket, to be voted for at'the November election.

Township Chairman.

The A. R. U. pays Debs a salary of $3,000 a year, his chief aid $2,000, and seven others $1,500 each. The walking delegates and labor agitators all get good pay, and the money comes out of the pockets of the working people.

If any one wants to know- why prices of all farm products are low —fearfully low, let him look over the list of silent factories, dead furnaoes and empty shops. These are the reasons, more eloquent and more convincing than all the oral and written testimony that has ever been produced. And it is the fulfillment of Republican prophecy, literally and absolutely.

The disastrous Debs insurrection wiil be worth a good deal in teaching workingmen to beware of false teachings of conscienceless demagogues and fanatical cranks. But the trouble it is a lesson that will not last. There is no permanent cure for such conditions, short of a universal better education for the masses of the people, and cutting off the tide of ignorant and vicious immigration from foreign lands. . The American Economist has gone into detail in regard to the —number of sheep, their iversgo pr ice and their total value, in each state and territory of the country, two years ago and now. It shows that the fanners have already learned that this free trade disease which lias got among their sheep cost Ihein 825,660,013 loss -—in-the-actual val r.e of live- stock. The total clip value of wool loss was $23,073,596, thus making a total loss to the sheep raisers of the United States of 848,738,709.

Debs, Howard and some others strike leaders fire now in jail in Chicago, lor e uterapt of court, and. prefer to stay there rather than to give bail, they want to pose as martyrs. Defas^thinks its a of a free country where men can't advise others, to shoot burn, wreck trains, Arc. “Save your money and buy a gun” is the order he sent to his Montana dupes, July 2nd. 'there is no •doubt but what the fellow expected to inaugurate a successful insurrection. A good many Democrats in lleneselaer, and probably the same is tr ue of the, whole county, are very hot over the dark-lantern, Tammany Hall method by which the county’s, delegates to the Democratic congressional convention, were selected last Saturday. The old and supposedly defunct demo-cratic-central committee met in a room in the Newels House, and selected the delegates in the true public be d—d method; and no one else save members of this self-per-petuating committee was allowed to have any voice in the matter a all. Of course the scheme toad worked in the interest of some one of the congressional candidates, and against some dthers. For one thing, they did not intend that t he friends of Pat Keefe, the Newton county statesman, should, “get a smell” in this county.

M. G. LEWIS,

If the tariff bill were to be become a law as it stands to-day, the net effect upon the fortunes of the individual American citizen would be this: No appreciable reduction in the cost of living; no material diminution in the market price of the commodities upon which the consumer now pays his indirect tax for thesupportof the government; but, on the other hand, a new and hateful tax directly imposed upon every citizen with an income of over $4,000, - and upon every citizen, rich or poor, jjwhose thrift has saved and whose prudence has invested his savings in any of the ordinary ways.

An unreformed Tariff and an unnecessary income tax! No gain on the one side, and on the other a new, direct, exasperating burden that will make every man who pays it the enemy of the party responsible for its imposition. This is the whole story up to date, as it effects the American taxpayer—N. Y. Sun. (Dem.)

The speech of Henry George the social reformer, in which he made the statement that he Would rather see all the railroad cars in the country burned and all the tracks destroyed rather than have t h**in preserved by force, was a remarkably disgraceful otfeT""Nu more incendiary utterance has marked the frotliings of Herr Most. It is the leadership of such men as Henry George that threatens the social fabric of the nation. - Lafayette Journal. Our democratic contemporary is eminently correct in the above remarks. It is exactly What Republicans have been saying about the blatant anarchist Henry George all along. They said the same about him during the campaign of 1892 when the Democratic National committee was having printed and wa3 sending out all over the country his latest incendiary book. Protection or Free Trade, by hundreds of thousands, at the people’s, expense, as a pretended part of the Congressional Record. More than any other, and all ot her agencies, in the country, the Democratic party is re- : sponsible for the spread of anarchistic ideas in this country, and their villainous and fraudulent circulation of Henry George’s book was one of the most effective processes by which those ideas were disseminated. Democratic demagogism, and Populistic madness has sowed the wind, and all the people, but more especially their deluded victims, the workingmen, are reaping the

The Populist Senators.

Thq Populist party has not been of. very long duration in the United States. It was an outgrowth of discontent at Republicanism which would not sink to the depths of democracy. In the present Congress the Populist party has four representatives hi the States Senate— Senators Allen, of Nebraska, Irby, of South Carolina, Kyle, of "South Dakota Pt ifer, of Kansas. The last named gentleman appreciated, by his vote against the - tariff bill, tile true and well meaning efforts of those whom he represents, but we cannot betieye that those -who seat either Mr. Allen, Mr. Irby or M r. Kyle to the Senate anticipated that the early years of the Populist party would be distinguished by the. buying and selling of the votes of their representatives. Not one of these" three Senators voted on the Tariff question aceor ding either to the convictions of his party or of himself, but each sold himself; he sold his vote which he held as the representative of the State which he did not represent by deliberately bartertering and dickering for special interests against the best interests of the entire people. Thu Populist party is deliberately opposed to trusts of all kiuds, yet the representatives of the Populists, except Senator Peffer, voted solidly to encourage and enrich trusts. They joined with the Democratic. Senators in robbing the many to enrich the few.—American Economist.

THE JOHNSTON CONVENTION.

Th 4 Johnston Wing of the Republican party of the Tenth District held their convention at Hammond, Tuesday, as per their call. Judge Johnston was put in nomination, by the following vote by counties: ——- ■ --- ■— Cass county..... .. A ... .7 votes. Fulton county, 20 votes. Jasper county 13 votes. Lake county.... ....... 30 votes. Newton county.... ..... .6 votes. Porter c0unty.......... 22 votes. Pulaski c0unty.......... 8 votes. White county.....-....... 5 votes. T0ta1.... 113 votes. In addition to this one delegate from Fulton county divided his vote, as originally instructed, 6TO f6r Johnson and 4-10 for Landis.

There were said to have been “about” 96 of the original Johnston delegates present and participating. The others were origin a alternates or were proxies. From this county we understand all the original delegates attended .except H. W. Wood and J. F. Warren, of Marion tp., who were represented by their alternates, 8. P. Thompson and G. M. Robinson; and C. O. Spencer, of Keener, who was represented by a proxy, and A. Armstrong, of Hanging Grove, who was a Landis man, S. P. Thompson, of Rensselaer, was chairman of the convention and B. Van Buskirk, of Monticello, was secretary. The above account is as gathered from statements by delegates who were in utter;dance. “Per contra, it is only fair to say, that yesterday’s Inter Ocean says that most of the delegates were represented by proxies. Also that a credentials committee was dispensed with. Further it gives the total vote as only 104 6-10, making no mention of any votes from Cass county.

Rochester Republican: In Porter county the Johnstonites are fighting Clias. B. Landis through the democratic paper, and it is said they arc about to do so in this county. This would indicate that Judge Johnston and his friends have joined forces with the Democratic party- to defeat the Republicans a 1 along the line. A Republican who goes hobnobbing with the Democrats for any purpose is not a Republican.

Why They Turn Populists.

Peru Sentinel: A prominent farmer of Miami county, in discussing the political situation with the editor of the Sentinel, a few days ago, asked \Chy it is that so many have lost faith in the two old parties and joined the Populist ~rf~tdmUpftrt.y io as worthless as-44 is represented to be? “Many” is a vague expression, but let that pass. The explanation is easy. A man who is the victim of a disease often gets impatient', loses faith in his regular physician, and becomes the prey of an ignorant and consciousless quack that may come along with a patent nostrum, warranted to .cure anything froST small pax to ingrowing nailsMany a man has been killed by quacks because be didn’t have the patience to get well slowly under the care of a competent physician,' and that’s what’s the matter with a great many people. Demagogues and political charlatans thrive upon the calamity and the credulity of the discouraged poor, just as quacks thrive upon the wretchedness and desperation of the discouraged sick. Hard times always bring to the surface a lot of demagogues whose pretentious to leadership would in quieter times have been gfeeted with derision and contempt, and people begin to experiment with political nostrums and deliberately’ incur the danger of destruction in the hope of finding a cure. Any thoughtful man who will let his eye sweep over the job lot of politicians that Populism has called to the front, and make a note of the fool born schemes they have invented, must readily admit that nothing but the folly of despair could have made possible such men and such measures. It is one of the worst features of hard times that such political quacks are raised up to aggravate the evil they profess to cure, to obstruct the operation of effective remedies aigl gather spoils from the miseries of the people. They are the creatures of evil conditions, just as the maggotis a creature of corruption and stench, a manifestation of decay. For the “Minneapolis Binders,” go to N. Warner <fc Son.

And Debs’ Address Will Be Joliet. Ill.

New York Tribune. Speaking “calmly and thoughtfully,” as he declared, at Chicago on Wednesday, Eugene V. Debs said: “So far as the injunctions serVcd upon me and the other officers of the union are concerned, we are not troubling ourselves about that part of the manager’s game. We have violated no laws, and care nothing for the action which was taken. ... I care as little for the proposed Grand Jury indictments as I do for the injunctions.” Speaking, perhaps less c:dmly and thoughtfully, but more epigramrnatically, and precisely to the same effect,at Gravesend last fall, John Y. McKanesaid: Injuuctions don’t go here; see?” The present postoifice address of John Y. McKaqe is: “Sing Sing, N.

SAM JONES ON THIRD PARTYISM.

The Third Party May Get to Heaven Bat it never Will to Washington. • ' . ■ ’ —j The third party, or party of the third part, or whatever you may call it, may get to heaven but they’ll never get to Washington. It’s not on the way. Washington is the wickedest place on earth. It is the home of the devil. The average democratic and republican politicians are little better than rascals, but the third party man is a fool. You may reform a rascal but did you ever monkey with a fool ?

They want to borrow money from the government at 2 per cent, when the government is now borrowing at 5. We hear a great deal of fool talk about the rich getting richer and the poor poorer under the present law.—T he re never -was. a greater- lie and-I’ll prove it. There’s nothing; the matter with the law. It’s the man that’s at fault. There’s a lawyer on that side of the house who makes twenty thousand a year. Here’s a little pettifogger who is starving. The law is not to blame. Here’s a physician making ten thousand a year. There’s a little doctor over on the other corner that can’t make his salt. The law is not to blame. I preach nearly day to eight thousand people, and here’s a little preacher sitting behind me that can’t average two hundred. The trouble is not in the law, brother, it’s in your noggin. The difference is organic. If all the wealth in the United States were divided out to day each man would get about §1,160 and in k‘6S than six months some fellows would be riding in palace cars and others would bo walking cross ties and howling for another divy.

Wheatfield Republican Ticket.

Tilton ’ Justices of the Peace. .Nelson Hayes’ " “ Edward LintncrConstable Elvin Lmtner- ..• John Whittaker. It was a laige convention, nearly fifty vote is being present. The ticket is a good one in all respects.

Hammond Citizens Protest.

An enthusiastic meeting of the representative citizens of Ilammond was lield in the Sens of Veterans’ hall Friday night. The meeting was "largely attended, and it was notable from the fact that none of the strikers or their sympathizers were present. The meeting was addressed by H >n. Chas. F. Griffin, Rev. F. W. Herzberger and many others. Mr. Griffin said that it was high time loyal citizens of Hammond should let the outside world know that the resolutions passed at a citizens meeting last Monday night were not the sentiment of a majority of the citizens of this city; that that meeting had not been advertised so that anyone except those in sympathy with the strikers could know anything about it, and that it was the purpose of the persons who called that meeting to keep the loyal people away. Many speeches were made showing that at no lime during the present trouble had there been any great unloyal sentiment existing among representative citizens, but that it was almost as much as ones life was worth to show a feeling antagonistic to the interest of the strikers. Resolutions were passed condemning the work of the strikers and indorsing the action Of Governor Matthews, and condemning that of Gov. Altgeld, whom the previous meeting had so highly endorsed .
