One can hardly comprehend it, but it is a fact that in President Cleveland’s term of office, not yet elided, the Government has or will run in debt $262,000,0U0, one-tenth of the entire debt contracted in—four years of our bloody civil war. A great many people are of the imprission that the decision of the supreme court in the apportionment case affects congressional districts as well as state legislative districts. This is an error. The congressional apportionment was not involved in this litigation. The state can be redistricted for congressional purposes at any time. Joseph R. Dunlap, publisher of the Chicago Dispatch, has just been sentenced, in a U. S. court to two years in prison add a fine of $2500, for sending obscure matter thrpUgh the mails* The Dispatch is an incredibly immoral publication, and the - punishment of its publisher is a most rightious act This time it is Newton county’s turn to furnish the Republican candidate for Representative in the state legislature, there seem to be plenty of good men ready to serve the people in that capacity. Dr. S. N. Caldwell, of Mt. Ayr, is a candidate; also Dr. Lovett, of Goodland, and Bennett Lyons, of Brook, and,. J. F. Johdson, of Morocco. The two last named have each served one term in the House already. They are all good men. Wjth the restoration of the Republican party to power must come immediately the restoration of Protection to the farmer on ever} thing in which he has been injured; the restoration of reciprocity wherever it proved beneficial to ns; the restoration of the sugar bounty and cheap sugar; the restoration of Protection to labor wherever our laborers have been injured by foreign competitors, and these restorative measures will produce “the restoration o! general prosperity.” A higher duty imposed upon any article that we grow or manufacture cannot injure that business. It is the low Tariff that hurts, that causes larger imports of goods made by cheap labor, that interferes with the earnings of our own people, creates undue competition and reduces values to a point that is unprofitable to the producer. There was no check to business in 1890 when the McKinley Tariff was under discussion, either before or after enactment. A Tasiff that will afford greater protection to American interests is always better for the country. It means greater prosperity. It is the low Tariff and low Tariff dicussion that injure our trade, because low Tariff benefits other conn-. tries.

The only fair and jnst way to straighten out the tangles made by the Supreme Coart’s late decision throwing out legislature apportionments of 1895 and 1893, was for the Governor to call a special session of the Legislature and let them enact a new apportionment This the Governor ha§ refused do, as might have been expected of a narrow-guoge democratic politician, considering that in the absence of a new law, the election will have to be held under the apportionment of 1885, which is about the rottenest gerrymander ever enacted, until the Democrats outdid themselves in 1893. But even with the great advantage of the gerrymander of 1885 to help them, we do not believe the Democrats can not carry the next Legslat a re, or come anything near it

Ex-President Harrison’s letter declining to again be candidate for the presidency, is like all his public utterances; clear, straightforward and sincere. That he means jnst what he says, and says just what he means, is too evident to be doubted. He iB out of race and out to stay, and that fact has been universally admitted from the moment his letter was made public.. From the point of view of bis own good, Mr. Harrison has no doubt decided wisely. Auotter term of the presidency •would have cetracted greatly from his personal comfort and peace of mind, and conld have added little to his fame. Protection is the great issue before this country- One of the main features underlying our very existence is that here in America the ladoring man shall have a broader and a better life than was granted to his class in Europe; that he and bis shall stand, in education; in influence, in respectability, and in every hope of life, shoulder to shoulder with every other man and with every other class in the body politic- He knows and, by his ballots of 1894 and 1895 ,he prodaims th&t fe& will no -longer heed the wild theories of those misleading iconoclasts who have sought to enlist his beliefs and his servicies in the interests of FreeTrade. In the .past three years we have increased the indebtedness 162 millions of dollars and decreased the revenue Amd increased oar interest bearing indebtedness. Apparently gigantic waste, blind blander and incapacity, of the present administration was never equaled. Onr resourdes were never exceeded, yet we are forced to assist foreign enterprises, to the detriment of home industry, by adopting all known methocs that take gold from ns and bring raw material and manufactured goods to ns, reducing wages and the country to idleness, evidently the advalorem method of collecting duties admits of more fraud than any other sAstem ever tried. Busi ness interests must be respected at Washington before the country before tne country can regain the billions Jost. —Clapp’s Circular

He tried many so called kidney cures but without any good result About a year £go he began use ot Electric bitters and found relief at once. Electric Bitteis is especially adapted to cure of all Kidney and Liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One tnal will prove onr statement Price 50c. for large bettle. At Meyer’s.

Why Not Senator Harrison?

dents?” is a problem that has troubled the newspaper writers considerably at -one time and another. But so far as- Gen. Harrison is concerned, he has shown the people that there is one ex-Presi-dent quite capable of taking care of himself. ; He can plead law spits and lore suits with equal success; deliver courses of lectures in the universities, and write able articles for thi magazines, and all in a way to Be beneficial to himself, and to the people, and without in any way compromising the dignity of his position. But while Mr. Harrison is thus abundantly demonstrating his ability to take care of himself, the fact still remains that a vast deal of the ablest statesmanship and the highest patriotism is largely “going to waste,” so to speak, while Mr. Harrison remains in private life. Although Mr. Harrison will not again accept the presidency there still ought to be some way found to give the country the full benefit of his great and good mind, and some way less onerons and burdensome than the presidency. This way has been pointed out in the case of one of our early ex-Presidents, John Quincy Adams, a man who, in greatness and readiness of intellect, in nobleness of personal character, in broadness of patriotism was much like Mr. Harrison. For a whole generation after his presidential term, he served the 'country in the halls of congress. Why can’t Indiana be as wise in this day as Massachusetts was in that? Why not send Benjamin (Harrison back to the United States Senate and keep him there? Jnst think of it, Republicans of Indiana! Benjamin Harrison, the statesman, to succeed Dan Voorhees, the demagogue. What a grand legislative campaign the Republicans of Indiana would make this year with such a consummation as that in view. Hurrah for Ben Harrison for* the next United States Senator from the state of Indiana !
