It isl not doubt as to McKinley’s currency viewß that is keeping his opponents awake of nights. It is certainty as to his nomination that robs them of their sleep and their peace of mind. “No man gets on so well in this world as he whose daily walk and talk are open and clean, whose heart is and whose life is honorable. Areligious spirit helps every man.”— Wm. McKinley. ‘fThe admonition of Lincoln —to ‘care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan’— will never be forgotten or neglected so long as the Republican party holds the reins of power. Full justice will always be done to the soldiers and sailors of the Union.”— Wm. McKinley. Daring the last year the town of Bradford, England, increased its exports of coatings to the United States from $1,200,000 to $7,500,000 and of “stuff goods” from $1,200,000 to $8,400,000. It is hardly necessary to add that the people of Bradford enthusiastically indorse our Democratic tariff policy. s

Within a week there has been a concerted attempt to discredit Mr. McKinley because he will not, at this tinje, make a new and explicit declaration upon the currency. This movement was begun by the Free Traders, who regard with a not unreasonable alarm the astonishing evidences of Mr. McKinley’s popularity. Their purpose is to endeavor to counteract the flowing of the tide of opinion toward high Protection, by diverting the people from the Tariff issue to the currency issue.—The Manufacturer.

The Rochester Republican wants to> be recorded as“fernenst” celer brating tbe one hundredth anniversary of Indiana with a big exhibition that will co§t the state a vast sum of money- A display of flags, a grand procession and volumes of oratory will be all sufficient to commemorate the important event, and Indianapolis can furnish the board for the multiplied thousands of native Hoosiers who will congregate at the state capital. The terrible state debt created by Democratic inefficiency, some y ears ago, needs to be liquidated before an additional expense is added in the exhibition of our agricultural, mechanical and educational facilities. —Rochester Republican.

Major McKinley’s military record will be a strong point in his favor during the coming campaign. He enlisted as a private in the regiment of which Gen. William S. Rosecrans was Colonel, when Ibbb than 18 years of age. He was promoted on his merit first to .Commissary Sergeant, then to Second Lieutenant for gallantry at Antietam and was latter promoted to Major by brevet. He . was popular With his superior officers, among whom was Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes, and enjoyed the esteem of his comrades in a high degree. While the military record, of McKinley is overshadowed by " his civil services it will nevertheless be a pleasant theme for the veterans to dwell upon and will insure him the most cordial support of the soldier element.

The unwarranted effort and indecent haste of an over-officious committeeman in one county to call a judicial convention to nominate a sucessor to Judge Wiley, within two days after his nomination for Appellate Judge, received a merited rebuke at the hands of the chairman of the other two counties in their refusal to sign the call. It is not customary to appiont an administrator of the estate of a person who is still in the flesh.—Kentland Enterprise. While we endorse what our esteemed Newton County contemporary says in the above paragraph, we should like to ask why it would not have been better to have spoken more plainly, while speaking at ion of the chairman of Benton County that it was censuring, and that of Jasper and Newton it was commending. As the Eenterprise paragfaph leaves the matter, it is apt to do injustice to the chairmen of the other two counties.

Our Greatest Strength.

“If I were called upon to say w*nat,'ih iny "TSpAiimiy constitute*' the strength, security and integrity of onr Government, I would say the American home. It lies at the beginning; it is the foundation of a pure national life. The good home makes the good citizen, the good citizen makes wholesome public sentiment, and good government necessarily follows.” — William McKinley.

The Republican Foreign Policy.

“The Republican party stands for a foreign policy dictated by and imbued with a spirit that is genuinely American; for a policy that wiil revive the National traditions and restore the National spirit which carried us proudly through the earlier years of the century. It stands for such a policy with all foreign nations as will insure both to us and them justice, impartiality, fairness, good -faith, dignity, and honor. It stands for the Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself proclaimed it, about which there is no division whatever among the American people. It stands now, as ever, for honest money and a chance to earn it by honest toil. It stands for a currency of gold, silver and paper with which to measure our exchanges that shall be as sound as the Government and as untarnished as its honor. —William McKinley.”

> The Missouri Republican state convention adopted the Indiana sound money plank, word for word. T&4 National Republican convention can not do bettet than ter follow the same example. Let us take squarely and'fairly. money side c>n but at the same time let lit hot be forgotten that the tariff question is the chief issue in this campaign.

Why He is a Protectionist.

“I am a protectionist because I believe the protective system is best adapted to our conditions and citizenship. It does every thing that a revenue tariff can do, and vastly more, It supplies needed revenue, a revenue tariff can do no more. It accomplishes this with equal if not greater certainty than a revenue tariff, and while doing that, it wisely discriminates in favor of American interests, and is ever mindful of the welfare of the American people. It protects our own products against those of the alien and the stranger, while the domestic consumer is secured reasonable prices through domestic competition. It diversifies the employments and multiplies the opportunities of our peopled secures an , unrivalled home market for agriculture and nneqnalled wages for labor. It encourages skill and genius to their highest activity, and under its operation vr& have reached the fpremost rank in invention and mechanism and the widest individual and National prosperity. It favors the United States, and is a true friend of every American girl and boy struggling upward. It builds up, it never pulls down.” Me Kinley. * _

How It Looks To Candidate Landis.

Delphi Journal.—l see they are having an interesting time over in the tenth congressional district. A Republican candidate for congress is to be nominated in t that district the first week in June. There are two candidates, Hoh. J. Frank Hanly, at present representative in congress, and Edward Crumpacker, attorney at law, from Valparaiso. Hon. Jethro A. Hatch who was nominated two years ago as a compromise candidate, owing to physical disability has withdrawn from the race and the contest has resolved itself into a stand up and knock out fight between Hanly and Crumpacker. In allaround, roseate, ax-and-knife politics the tenth Indiana district will eclipse anything this side the island of Borneo. The mere thought of a peaceful political convention there makes the ” Republicans mad. They love war. Nothing is so delightfully intoxicating to them as the whiff of an approaching scrap. -The sound made by whetting a political knife is music to their ears, is Bweeter than the song of childhood. If there is a man, woman or child in the tenth congressional district who does not take an interest in politics, the fact has never been established. In the contest two years ago there was one man living in the north a ßMs3*of J ifilfffigd that he did not care which of the two candidates were nominated for congress. A few weeks after the Hammond convention, however, he committed suicide, jumping headlong into the Kankakee river. ' i It is a matter of regret that there are not several more candidates for this nomination in the tenth district. This would have a tendency to take the rough corners off the contest. These stand up and knock out fights are had things to have in the Republican family, but it seems that they have to come and when they come we must make the best of them. ]

The Judicial Convention.

A. E. Chizum of Morocco, Gets The * Nomination. The Republican convention to nominate a condidate for Prosecuting Attorney, for the 30th judicial circuit, was held at Goodland Monday afternoon, and Jasper County’s candidates were not in it, Newton County claimed the nomination and Benton County appeared to think the claim was just, and to Newton county it was given. Previous to the convention the Jasper delegates held an informal caucus at which a vote was taken to show preferences of the two condidates from this county, at which Mr. Mills received 11 votes Bates 4, two or three" 'delegates not voting. Mr. Bates thereupon withdrew from the com test and his name was not presented to the convention. The convention organized by choosing B. F. Ferguson, of Rensselaer as chairman and Dr. Cook, of FowJLer, as secretary. At the first ballot five names were voted for, Snyder of Benton, Mills of Jasper, Sink, Chizum and Palmer, of Newton. - As Jasper had J 9 delegates and only 16 votes, there were fractional votes at each ballot; leaving out these fractions, the first ballot, by’ counties was as follows: Mills, 3 from Benton, 15 from Jasper, total 18. Snyder, 14 from Benton. Sink, 1 from Jasper, 5 from Newton. Chizum, 1 from Benton, 4 from Newton. Palmer, 2 from Newton. Mr. Mills lead with Snyder a good second. At the second ballot the totals were, Snyder. 13 Mills 15 Sink... .8 Chizum. „,...........7 Palmer 2 During the succeeding six ballots there were no very marked changes. Mr. Mills’ vote varied from 15 in the second to 19 in the sixth. Chizum began, to mount upward on the fourth and Palmer fell down on the fifth. The eighth ballot stood as follows: Snyder. .10 Mills... 18 Sink.. .4 Chizum ,14 At the ninth and last ballot Benton gave Chizum 15 votes; and Mills withdrew, and Jasper gave Chizum 16 and Newton 13. On motion of Mr. Mills the nomination of Chizum was then made unanimous.

Looks Like Crumpacker.

The result of the Congressional primaries in the Tenth District appear to have resulted in Mr. Crumpacker’s favor and that a majority of the delegates are for him. This, however, Mr. Hanley, and his friends are not disposed to concede, and they figure out that he is in the lead. The following table shows the delegates strength of the two candidates, as it has been carefully, and so far as could be, impartially figured out here. Crumpacker, Hanley. La Porte County... 38 D Lake 36$ . 1$ PiXtewwiww. -«25 White 15 7' Jasper 13 3 Benton. 6 12 Newton 6 7 Tippecanoe ‘ 52'' Total 134$ 112 On the other hand, Mr. Hanley’s friends figure the result like this, CrumHanley. packer. Benton County. .16$ 1$ Jasper.. ...3 13 Lake........... 2$ 35$ La Porte 15 24 Porter 25 Newton 9 4 Tippecanoe 53 Warren 18 White 10 9 T0ta1.......127 112 This last table includes all of the votes except six. Three coasted ones from White County, and three classed as uncertain, in La Porte. Which of these two estimates is nearest correct can not be known for certain until the convention meets, but we are disposed to believe that the one first given will be found substantially correct. Ask Warren A Irwin about those elegant lots in Yeoman’s Sub division. The location is unexcelled and prices very low. Ferguson A Wilson will give you the privilege to pay 1-5 of your oan each year and put the contracts in the mortgage-

THE IVORY INDUSTRY.

It Means Death to Seventy-Five Thousand Elephants Annually. One-fifth of the world’s commerce in ivory comes to Great Britain, and it will* astonish . most people,, says, Answers, to learn that 15,000 elephants have to be killed every year to keep our markets supplied with the precious substance. Altogether, to keep the whole world in ivory—apart from fossil, tusks. —75,000 elephants are slaughtered annually. Africa is the great ivory country; and in the Congo basin, the best hunting gTOund, there at® supposed to be about 200,000 elephants, worth altogether about £500,000. The average weight of ivory obtained from a single elephant is about 50 pounds. Tusks weighing abbut 100 pounds each have been procured, hilt this is very rare. The most expensive tusks are those used in the manufacture of billiard balls; they cost, as a rule, £llO a 100weight. . ; Ivory dusk and shavings are used by confectioners to stiffen the more expensive kinds of jellies. The scrapings are often, burnt and made into a paint 'known as “ivory black,” worth about £2O. a ton. The hardest of all ivory is that obtained from the hippopotamus. It will emit sparks like a piece of flint when struck with steel, and is principally used in making artificial teeth.

HE HAS HIS TROUBLES.

Trials of a Messenger Boy for the Telegraph Company. V A telegrhaph messenger probably sees as much of the other side of human nature as a doctor. One told an Atchison Globe writer recently that a woman never opened a telegram without hurtling pale, and, when the message was not alarming, they looked disappointed. -He delivered about two death messages a day,four birth messeges.'a great many business messages, and once in a great while a love message that makes him tired to carry it. He carried one recently to a young man in town that read: “How are you to-day darling?” The answer went promptly back by the boy and was to this effect: “lam better, love.” He* once carried a message of death to a colored woman, and after reading it her emotion overcome her to such an extent that she caught the messenger in her arms and soundly boxed his ears. Another colored woman refused to open or sign for a message, but walked the floor and beat her breast, and screamed, supposing it announced a death, When all the neighbors had come in, one more venturesome than the rest read the message. It was simply a notice that the woman’s sister would, come up from Leavenworth J.hat evening, to see her.

A "CLEAN” SHAVE.

Precautions Which Might Be Adopted for the Safety of Customers. Nothing is easier than for contagion to be conveyed from a diseased to a healthy skin during the act of shaving, and many cases have now been recorded, sayS the Medical Press, proving that diseased processes have in this manner been propagated. Probably the readiest manner available to the barber for preventing such untoward occurrences would be by sterilizing his “instruments” by means of heat, either by steam or boiling water," ~ Razors should be made so that their handles would not suffer from the exposure to highdegrees of heat, and the rule should be enforced that in no case should any of the “instruments” be used consecutively without having first been submitted to the sterilising process. Under this rule, then, each customer would be sure of having a “clean” shave in more senses than one. Of course, also, on the principle of a “fresh pot of "tea for each customer,” a freshly scalded-out lather pot should be included with, each shave. Unless? these or similar precautions be carried out in barbers’ shops, cases of the conveyance of infectious Bkin diseases from customer to customer cannot fail to occur.

PHYLLOXERA DISAPPEARS.

Nature Now Doe* What Men Have I.ong Tried In Vain to Do. Nature is doing for California vineyardists what they long and fruitlessly tried to do for themselves. It is reported from many localities that the phylloxera, the most serious pest that has ever attacked the vines, is dying out. The experts have tried every remedy to stay the progress of this pest, but without avail, and six years ago the vineyardists of the Sonotna and Napa valleys all their .vines and replanted the ground with resistant stock. The experts believed that all non-resistant vines were doomed to destruction by the phylloxera. But reports have recently come to the state inspector of orchard pests that a material falling off in the ravages of the pest has been noticed for some time. Vines once affected by it are now almost free. The inspector has begun a thorough investigation of the pleasing phenomena. He thinks some natural enemy of the pest has appeared or that some deadly disease has attacked the phylloxera and Is exterminating it. Whatever is the cause, the result will mean great gain for the viaeyardists.

A Pertinent Answer.

An amusing: correspondence recently took place between a Wisconsin farmer and a local boiler firm. The farmer ■wrote as follows: “DereTSires I have a 1,000 akers of trees that I Want cut. Im pore but Im willing to pay too hundred dolers fer an engin that will do my work,” and he went on to explain just what sort of an engine he wanted. The boiler firm saw that the engine necessary to accomplish the devastation of his virginal forest would cost $3,000, 4Jid they informed him to this effect. A week passed and then the following pithy epistle came from the Wisconsin woods:, “Dere Sires what :‘n all git out wud 1 want of an engin or boiler if J M $3,000?” .
