CoL J. S. Dodge, of Elkart, is one of the most recent additions to the list of candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor. The Colonel is a mighty fine man, and if the Tenth Discandidate, Charley Griffin, of Hammond, can not get the nomination, there is no one whom Jasper Co. Republicans would be better satisfied with than him. When Cleveland steps down from the executive chair he will leave the public debt just where he did at the end of his first term. The intervening Republican administration reduced the debt $310,600,000; Cleveland has increased it it 1262,000,000, and has eleven months to go yet. Reform at an expense of $75,000,000 a year is a luxury that needs a protective tariff. The Republican state convention meets at Indianapolis, to-day. Among the many strong candidates for Governor, it would be rash to hazard a prediction as to who will be the nominee for that office, but from present indications, we should say that C. F. Griffin,' of Hammond, the Tenth District’s candidate, has at least as good s prospect as anyone. The strength he will Bhow at the convention is likely to surprise a good many people.

The action last week of the Illinois Republican state convention In instructing for McKinley is one of the most important and decisive victories yet won for the great and popular Ohio statesman. And especially is the victory for him the more important and decisive from * the fact that Illinois was supposed to be doing some business in the •favorite son” Hue for Senator Cullom. But this action of the state convention effectually retires Mr. Cullom from the list of candidates, and it iB very much to his credit that he takes his defeat gracefully, and is ready to work as hard for McKinley as anyone. If now our own state convention obeys the evident wishes of the great majority of the Republicans of the state and instructs for McKinley, also, it would seem that his nomination would be assured beyond a doubt.

The eighth congress of the Scotch-Irish Society of America is to be held at Harrisburg, Pa., June 4th to inclusive. It is expected to be the largest gathering of this kind yet held. The purpose of this society is the preservation of Scotch-Irish history and associations, the increase and diffusion of knowledg e regarding Scotch- Irish people, the preservation of intelligent patriotism and the development of so. ■cial intercourse and fraternal feeling. AH persons over twenty-one years old who are of Scotch-Irish descent are elibible to membership in the society, and all such further information concerning it should address the Indsecretary, Mr. Charles Arthur ‘Carlisle, at South Bend, Ind.

floward county according to thelndianapoHs Jonmal, an alleged Prohibitionist who is reported, to have been a Democrat haTbeen

against Mr. Nicholson. It has been given out that he will be endorsed by the Democrats and Populists, and.willhayethe earnest support of the saloon element, backed by the money--of. the Liquor Dealers’ Association. If elected to the Legislature he would vote for Voorhees for United States Senator—Voorhees the champion of 4he-whiskey men. This, however is not the first instance where the socalled Prohibition party has been made the ally of the whiskey interest Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican state committee, has announced his choice of Republicans to compose the executive and advisory committees. The executive committee is as follows: Frank Millikan, New Castle; A. W. Wishvard, Indianapolis; E. H. Nebeker, Covington:, H. P; Loveland, Pern; W. I. Overstreet, Terre Haute; O. P. Hopkins, Evansville; W. H. Wateon, -Charleston* JFhe advisory committee is made up of ohOmember from each congressional district, as follows: J. H. Claypool, Indianapolis; O. Tichenor Princeton; Joseph Wilson, Washington; Evan Prosser, New Albany; A. E. Nolan, Lawrenceburg; Silas A. Hays, Greencastle; Chas. F . Jones, Brookville; J. F. McClure, Anderson; James H. Harris, Noblesville; Frank Carson, EaPorte; Warren Bigler, Wabash; C. R. Higgins, Fort Wayne; L. H. Byerle, Goshen. “To the end that our Nation may be restored to the honor, glory and material prosperity to which it attainedxmder a“Republican policy and continue the wonderful development which was brought to a stop by the incoming of President Cleveland and his congress we demand of the National convention soon to assemble at St. Louis the nomination of candidates whose election will mean the speedy re. peal of the infamous and raimras Democratic tariff, and the substitution therefore of one based on the principles of the McKinley act for protection of our domestic industries, the promotion of reciprocal trade with other countries, and the procurment of abundant revenues as far as is possible at the expense of foreigners who market their merchandise in competition with our own productions.” This is New Hampshire’s protection plank. It. “fills the bill” exactly.

Hatch is Not a Candidate.

Congressman Hatch returned to his home at Kentland, a week or two ago, with the inteution of making an active canvass for the. Republican nomination in this district. But first he consulted an eminent specialist in Chicago regarding an injury to his knee, from which he has suffered greatly

for several months, and as a result of the Chicago doctor’s advice, he has concluded that it would be tin wind to attempt to make a canfor the renorbination. His letter, announcing this decision, “was-addresseiL to the: Ren tl and Enterprise, and reads "ns'follows; “I am not a candidate ?or renomination for Congress -at the convention to be held at Michigan City, June 4th, 1896. As I jun Buffering from a painful affection of the knee that will probably prevent me from taking an active part in the ensuing campaign, I deem it my duty to my friemis and myself to not ask a re-nomination I also take this opportunity to thank my friends in all parts of the district for their “past and present kindness and support. i Protection lias Vindicated Itself. “Tried by any test, measured by any standard, we lead all the rest of the world. Protection has vindicated itself . It cau not be helped by eulogy or hurt by defamation. It has worked out its own demonstration, and presents in the sight of the wholo world its matchless trophies. It can not be cried down by false names or injured by offensive epithets, nor can it any longer suffer from.falsehood or the forebodings of the false prophet. It has triumphed over all its traducers at home and abroad. It has made the lives of the masses of our countrymen .sweeter and brighter, and has entered the homes of America, carrying comfort and cheer and courage. It gives a premium to human energyV-andTawakens tbe noblest aspirations in the .breasts of men. Our—own- —experience shows that it is best for our citizenship and our civilization, and opens up a higher and better destiny for our people. The day of repentance will come when-we shall have made a changO.”—William McKinley in 1892.

BRITISH TESTIMONY.

The foundation of this country’s financial trouble is an overdose of democracy, and to this fact there is plenty of testimony, not only in the experience and observation of our own citizens but in the admissions of democracy’s allies off- the other side of the Atlantic. A clearer or more candid statement of the situation could hardly be made than the following editorial from the London Standard: When the barriers of McKinleyism were partially demolished goods rushed in from abroad to fill up the empty spaces in the home markets of the Republic. Our ' woolen “manufactuxefl---iu particular.benetited by this~changq, as the trade and navigation returns of the United Kingdom very clearly exhibit. For the eleven months of 1895 for which we have the figures, the United States have taken

nearly six millions sterling worth of woolen and worsted tissuse from us, as compared with less than a million and a half’s worth last year, and not much intrre than two and a quarter millions’ worth the year before. A gap produced by the long suspense of the tariff question had to be filled up, and the enlarged market opened by the reduced tariff further increased the buying. To a less extent' the same phenomena were discernible elsewhere, and the broad general result was that at the very time when the States, fiudiug the markets for their own productions restricted or unprofitable abroad, they saw foreign goods pouring in upon them in an augmenting volume. They therefore had more to pay and less to receive, and as they also owed a great deal of money adroad their foreign exI change market became permanently adverse. Shipments of gold to Europe were soon tho order of the day, to such an extent that the Goverment of Mr. Cleveland has had to intervene three Jimes within two years by selling interest bearing bonds in order to replenish the stock of gold in the publie Treasury.

Protection For American Hay.

Farmers are appealing to Congress for increased protection for their hay. Thousands of petitions have been in circulation in the in the country in the past few weeks, signed by hundreds of thousands of farmers, asking Congress to increase the duty op hay, because of the enormous increase jp the importations of hay, mostly frojp Canada, since\the repeal of tba MbKinley law. The rate of duty, on hay under the McKinley tariff was four dollars per ton. In the year following the enactment of that law the importations of hay dropped from 125,000 tonß to 29,000 tons, yhe Wilson law reduced the duty to 92 per to,n and theresnlthas teen an enormous iflf jeflge in the importations of hay. , The amount of hay brought is-

to the country since the enactment of the Wilsofi law'has beeft more than double what it ''was in the corresponding length of time under the McKinley law. ' The'official figures for the first 17 months -of tho Wilson law show a total importation of 373,860 tons of against 140,083 tons in the last 17 months of the McKinley law. Tlijs is an increase of 233,773 tons. It will thus lie seen that the importations under the new law, by reason of reduction in the tariff rates, have increased more than ISO per cent./ and neatly two million dollars, which would otherwise have gone to, the farmers of the United States, have loft the country for the benefit of foreign farmers. And of this loss the farmers of Jasper County, where hay is one of the leading, if not the leading ciop, have lmd (o bear their full share.

Debs and His Dupes.

At the very time in which the philanthropy of capital is advising means by which the garmentworkers,.possibly the most ill-paid 1 and hardest worked of wage-earn-ers, may better their condition by CQ-operatiye manufacture, the irrepressible Debs is yawping out his prophecies of armed rebellion. Debs is not of the “great unpaid,” nor of the great illpaid. This haranguer of the multitude toils not, neither does he spin. Nor does he wor-k for such pay as a schools teacher, or a country lawyer, or a country doctor, or a country preacher, or a Judge of a court of high jurisdiction in the rural district earns. Were Debs sober, prudent and thrifty, he himself soon would be a capitalist. He “spends and regales,” and yawps, and gulls his devotees. Yet the world moves. Ever the best intent of the best men and women is toward amelioration of the condition of those less fortuhatelhan themselves. —Everlegislation strives more fully to secure every human being the free exercise of the right of each to do tbe best that he or she cam do for himself or herself, according to the measure of the ability given by nature. Ever the heart of the world grows more compassionate toward those to whom nature has given but slightly of ability to succeed, and who, therefore, are poor. Ever, even, does the temper of mankind grow more contemptuously tolerant of the blatherskites and: jaw- smiths who, dike Mr. Debs, draw their unearned increment from the ignorance and fanaticism of their dupes.’ The bitterest foes that Eugene Debs ha 3 to contend with are not the “bloated capitalists,” but “the little red school-house” and the village church. Yet if Mr. Debs and his dupes proceed from insane or purposely deceptive rhapsody to riotous demonstration they willjjbe repressed quickly, and the next punishment of the leaders may be more severe than that of nominal imprisonment.—lnter Ocean.
