The Republican editors of Indiana, at their recent Indianapolis meeting, passed the following resolution: ‘‘That we are in favor of that kind of money wherein one dollar is as good as any other. 'While we are opposed to free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 under present conditions, we favor prudent measures looking to a more general use of silver by international agreement.’'*— The Republican State Centred committee has issued the official pjill for the State convention to be held at Indianapolis May 7. The convention will be composed of 1,415 delegates and 708 will be necessary for a choice for nomiations. The delegates by districts are divided are as follows: First district, 93; Second district, 96; Third district 92; Fourth district, 107; Fifth district, 114; Sixth district, 110; Seventh district, 116: Eighth district, 124; Ninth district, 110; Tenth district, 122; Eleventh district, 123; Twelfth district, 96; Thirteenth district, 112. The 122 delegates from the Tenth district are apportioned by counties, as follows: Benton 9; Jar per 8, Lake 19, Laporte 21, Newton 6, Porter 12, Tippecanoe 57, Warren 9, White 11. The delegates trom the various districts will meet the night before for the purpose of completing the preliminary organization. The tenth district will meet in Boom

80 at the State House. Besides adopting the State platform the following nominations are to be made in the State convention: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of State, Treasurer of State, Attorney General, Reporter of Supreme Court, Superintendent of Public Instruction, State Statistician, five judges of the Appellate court. Also there will be selected four delegates at large to the National convention,- and four alternates, and two National Electors for the State at large. “At a recent meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial association,” says the Kokmo Tribune, “the fact was made public that the proprietors of certain supply houses who sell to township trustees have begun an organized and systematic attack on the law requiring these officers to publish a full report of all their expenditures of the public money. Circulars have been sent out to the township trustees of the State advising them ignore and disobey the law. The Tribane has not heard that any Howard county trustees have received the circular, but there is no doubt that in many counties it was received. A supply house which gives such advice ought to be spotted and boycotted by every honest trustee in Indiana, for it is perfectly plain that each advice is inspired by a corrupt purpose to cover up and conceal from the taxpayers evidences of transactions that may not be able to bear the light of day. An honest man who has honest goods to sell to a township trustee will not object to having the evidence of the sale and the price charged and paid advertised to the taxpayers. The improper and corrupt interference of the supply houses in this matter will be duly and effectually exposed by the Republican and Demorcatic press of the State.”

Fred Waymire, of Jordan Tp., the man to whom the late Republican convention gave, unsought and unasked for, the nomination for the responsible and honorable office of County Commissioner, for the third district, is a man in every way worthy of the position. He is a, man of intelligence, energy, good business qualifications, and of moral and social qualities above question. He is 38 years old, and a son of the late John Waymire, himself formerly a county commissioner in this county. He was brought up in this county and knows its needs as well as any other man in it. The popnlistic papers of the county, especially the Remington Press and the Wheatfield Sheaf, are trying to make a point against Mr. Waymire, by claiming that he only lately became a resident of Jasper county. He did, indeed, live in Benton Co., for a number of year’s after his marriage to the daughter of a resident of that connty, but for all that, we might add together the years of residence in this county of all three of the popnlist editors of the connty, Messrs. Babcock of the Remington Press, Craig of the Rensselaer Pilot, and Knotts of the Wheatfield Sheaf, and all together would hardly make one filth of the years Mr. Waymire has lived here. These Populistic birds of passage, are hardly the right parties to carp about a man who has lived a good 25 years in Jasper Connty, as being a “new-comer. It is a very common saying that if a persons charged with crime only have plenty of money, they can escape punishment; bat there is no truth in the saying. In fact poverty and evident friendlessness is more apt to help an accused man with the average jury than the known possession of great wealth. The case of Miss Flagler, in Washington, tried, for the shooting and killing a colored boy, for stealing fruit, and who escaped

.with a fine of SSOO aiid three hours in jail, is cited as an instance of the way wealthy or influential people escape justice; but that case, though more noted, is really not nearly so flagrant a case of defeated justice as that of the brutal pauper Tolies, the attempted infant murderer, at Kentland; nor as that of a recent brutal wife murderer, named Rooker, at Indianapolis, who like Tolies, was without friends or property. Tolle's punishment was merely nominal, and Rooker went, free. Instances of wealthy men; or men with plenty of wealth at their service, who have been punished by the law, are easily cited. A millionaire was hanged in Pennsylvania, a few years ago, and one is under sentence of death in Missouri now. Harry Hayward and “Bat,” Shea had unlimited wealth at their command for their defense, but both suffered the death penalty. Theodore Durrant,at San Francisco and H. H. Holmes, at Philadelphia, also had plenty of money, but will soon be banged. Justice is a slow and uncertain quantity in this world, and especially so in this country, and it often miscarries entirely, bat the popularidea that plenty of money is all that is needed to secure its possessor against punishment for crime is entirely groundless. That Free-Trade Blessing. I Sir Edward Strittvan In Manchester (England) Courier.] Cheapness, cheapness, cheapness and competition! These have been the parrot-cries of Free-Traders; and excellent cries they are for the million and a half lncky individuals with their fixed incomes. Bat how about the thirty-five millions without fixed incomes? How does it affect them? What doee competition and cheapness mean in their case? It means this-it means that when by home competition a starv-ingjneedle-woman is found to stitch

shirts at 4d. a dozen, straightway a starving foreign woman is found to stitch shirts at 3d. per dozen, and her work is brought over here to. drive English women below starvation point. This is competition! This is cheapness. And, does it benefit the community? The first condition of the vaunted cheapness, this panacea of the Cobden Club, is cheap labor; do not let the operatives forget this when they have dinned into their ears the virtues of mere cheapness. Is the low price of wheat that is secured by stimulatii% foreign production a national blessing? Is it a national blessing when the English and Scotch laborers are deprived of their employment in favor of the ill-paid labor of Russians, Poles, Willaohians or Coolies? Are shirts stitched by starving women at 4d. a dozen a blessing to the community, or the cheapness of bricks made by overtaxed children at nominal wages, or the cheapness of nails or cables made by overworked women and children, a blessing? Is the waste of human life, the misery and the suffering and demoralization and immorality inseparable from cheap labor a benefit to the country? Is the cheapness that is caused by cheap foreign labor a blessing? No, it is not; and in spite of all the writings and preachings of the Cobden Clnb, I maintain that the more we examine the meaning of mere cheapness, the more distinctly we find it means a “low standard of life.”

Practically Unanimous.

We have yet to see a Republican newspaper east of the Mississippi that fails to take square ground against the course of the five Republican Senators who voted to shelve the tariff bill, says the Commercial Gazette. They speak right out in meetin’. They are ahead of the politicians who let expediency dictate policy. Most of these papers have engaged at one time or another in a silver discussion. Most of them, within a year or two, have had occasion to look into the whole silver question. It is not one to be settled on the spur of the moment: not one as to which hasty judgment will be found to be valuable. When, therefore, newspapers talk as the papers of this country have been talking for the last two or three days, it means that a settled opinion has taken the place of a suspended jndg ment. It means that conclusion has followed argument, and that on the lines marked out the battle is to be fought. It is encouraging—oh, yes, it is inspiring—to see that practically the Republican press is a unit in condemning the cause of Carter, Mantle, Teller & Co. The policy of the St. Louis convention is foreshadowed.
