THOS. J. MCCOY,

The chairmen and secretaries of the several county committees with apportion to the various townships, wards or precintsjthe representation to which they are entitled and will issue a call to the republicans and those who wish to co-operate with them, to meet in their respective wards or precincts on SATURDAY, AUG., 18, 1894. at an hour and place to be named in said call, for the purpose of electing delegates and alternate delegates to the aforesaid district nominating convention, and such call will be published in the republican press of the respective counties at least two weeks immediately proceeding the date of such to wnship, ward or precinct ■mcotingiL ' -- Charley Harley, Chairman Tenth Diet. Rep. Com.

Here is what Abraham Lincoln said of the law: “Let reverence of law be breathed by every mother to the lisping babe that prattles in her lap; let it be taught in the schools, seminaries and colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from pulpits, and enforced in courts of -justice; in short, let it become the political religion of the Nation.

The Republican congressional convention in this city will be more like a conference, than a convention. No candidate intends pushing his claim at the expense of the party and no one will attempt to secure a nomination which will stir up the old strife. The nominee, whoever he may be, will be chosen because he is satisfactory to all who took sides in the recent controversy. The work of the convention will be to find that man. Advices from the candidates named, all indicate that it is their desire in the matter and under the circumstances it is the duty of every republican to make some concessions so that the selection can be indorsed by a unanimous party.—Logansport Journal

There will be no lack of good men to choose a candidate from at the forthcoming congressional convention. Judge Crumpacker, of Valparaiso, Judge Spangler, of Winamac, Capt. Swigart, of Logansport, Dr. Hatch, of Kentland, are all acknowledged candidates. Others that have been mentioned are Geo. W. Holman and J. H. Bibler, of Rochester, W. A. Wilson, Judge McConnell and Quincy H. Meyers, of Logansport, and John P. Carr and Anson Wolcott, of White county. C. F. Griffin, of Hammond, would have been a formidable aspirant, but it is said he has refused to be a candidate, in the interests of Judge Crumpacker. The above ilist of possible candidates might be considerably extended.

The Inter Ocean well says: “This is no time for dealing tenderly with the murderous scum of European capitals. We have a law prohibitory of the importation of such stuff, and it is a law that should be enforced to the letter. Almost without exception the men who have been active in plotting or prompt in executing lawless boycotts and violent assaults in propagation of them are of foreign birth or parentage. With one exception all of those who were hanged for complicity in the haymarket massacre were foreigners. From Most to Mowbray all the noisy promulgaters of undisguised anarchy are foreigners. Mowbray should be arrested and returned to England once. To the industrious and virtuous immigrant this country still offers a hearty welcome and a pleasant home but it has no place for the [foreign born pauper, the foreign-born criminal, the foreign-born laborer who is here under contract to work for less than the American wage rate, or for the foreign-born anarchist. Baby carriages all styles and prices at Williams.

Inasmuch as every county in the district has frpm one to four aspirants fpr the Republican nomination for Congress, Jasper county will hardly be in the swim without at least one. HadJ Judge Hammond, consented to be a] candidate, Jasper county would have been right in it. This, however, we much regret to say, he positively refuses to do. We have other able and deserving]’men in the district but nonejj£ with the prestige of Judge Hammond. Capt. Ralph W.| Marshall, for instance, is letters and personal solicitations to enter the field for the congressional nomination. Sb long as there wasja possibility of Judge Hammondjconsenting to allow his name to go before the convention, Mr. Mashall refused to give these solicitations any consideration; but the Judge having positively declined, Mr. “Marshall now has the mattar “under advisement.” We think it is generally conceded that the Capt. would make an able and available candidate; and his very conservative and conciliatory attitude during the late “unpleasantness,” in the Republican family will be an especial point in his favor, at this particular juncture.

The democratic senatorial, representative and judicial conventions were held in Goodland on Thursday, and the attendance was light. With the exception of prosecutor, a straight populist ticket was nominated. Perry Washburn, of Benton county, populist nominee, was nominated for State Senator, and following this David B. Nowels, of Jasper county, populist candidate for representative,was tagged withdemocratic approval. At this stage the wiser heads began to kick on the swallowing act, and to appease them, and not give the thing “dead away.” Frank Compare!, of Kentland, and a democrat, was nominated for prosecuting attorney. It seems that our democratic frien Is of this district are thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Mr. Fiannigan of Texas, who wanted to know “what-iu-sheoLwe were here for if not for the offices?” as neither of the legislative candidates are advocates of their principles—as publicly expressed. If there is a single republican who has left his party and joined the movement in good faith who wants evidence that the democratic and populist partiesare possessed with “two souls with but a single thought, two heart.that beat as one,” he need go no further than this recent action b •- - w* secure conviction.—Goodland Herald.

DEMOCRATIC TIMES

HIT THE THEATRICAL PROFESSION VERY HARD. the Box-Office Receipt! a Fair Indication of the Prosperity that Followed the Election of Cleveland and Hl* Party. It is time to give particular attention to the condition of the theatrical profession in the United States this year as compared with 1592 and 1893, and show the large number of unemployed actors who have been the re-jipienta-bf charity from a fund, especially collected for that purpose.

ACT L 1892.

In order to investigate this condition more fully a number of the leading theaters in different states in the country have been asked to furnish a comparative statement of their receipts during the first three months of 1893 and 1894; Taking 100 to represent their receipts from January to March, 1893, the figures in the second and third columns represent the receipts during the corresponding three months of the two years, as follows:' Number Receipts, January of thea- rt> March, Loss. States. ters. 1893. 1894, 1895.

Total 47 4,700 3,408 1,292 Average loss, 27 per cent. The forgoing shows reports from forty-seven of the leading theaters of the United States. For every $4,700 received by these theaters during the first three months of 1393 their receipts amounted to only $3, -iOS during the first three months of the present year, the loss being $1,292, or 27 per cent for the whole country. While the actor is not directly protected by a tariff, it is very evident that the prosperity of the country under a protective tariff affords larger receipts to those engaged in the theatrical profession than the disturbed condition of the country will permit under the

ACT IL 1894.

mere threat of free trade. When people are not earning money at all, or are not earning good wages, it is impossible for them to spend money upon amusements. Protection to American industries means prosperity to the theatrical business.

Some Facts About Wool.

If American manufacturers are to supply themselves with foreign wool, it would be only because it would be cheaper to them than American wool. Who, then, will be left to buy the American clip, and what is to become of it? If American wool falls to the foreign price under free trade, the American sheep will be fattened and sent to the butcher, and woolgrowing in America will cease to be an industry except in limited cases where the farmers can produce the coarser wool ■heep for the meat as they now produce cattle for that purpose. They would then have to consider the wool a by-product, as bullocks hides are now considered. If the duty be soon removed or even reduced at a time when the government needs more rather than less revenue, the only way to procure even the same revenue that is now collected is to double our imports. If we double our imports we obtain our supplies from abroad instead of at home. We cripple our manufacturers and lessemour market for car wool. We give a great industrial impul.se to foreign mills, and to this extent take employment from our American mills, and for what? Simply in order to raise as much revenue uauer reduced duties for revenue only "i we now collect under duti."* that are protec-

Of the Pills we must say they are the best combination of the qualities required in a preparation of their nature we nave ever known. < We have none but words of praise for them.
