Ayr, will be a candidate for Joint-Representative for Jasper and Newton counties, subject to the decision of the Republican nominating convention. We are authorized to announce the name o Pierce Archibald, of Newton County, as a can didate for Representative for Jasper and New ton Counties. Subject to the approval of the Republican nominating convention. We are authorized to announce the name of John F. Johnson, of Newton Connty, as a candidate for the office of Joint Representative for Jasper and Newton Counties. Subject to the action of the Republican nominating convention. FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. We are authorized to announce the name of Alfred Bates, of Rensselaer, as a candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney for the 30th Judicial Circuit.

Subject to the decision of the Republican judicial convention. During Cleveland’s administration $262,000,000 in bonds have been issued. While Harrison was the executive the public debt was cut down $290,000,000. Balance to the credit of the Republican administration, $552,000,000. , Protection to American industries means the opening of idle factories and the employment of many thousands of idle laborers at lucrative wages. This means an enlarged home market for the product of the American farms at enhanced prices. This the old, old story; and its the gospel of American prosperity. The American people were led to disbelieve it at one time and have paid dearly for their unbelief. They will not be fooled this year. This is official. The Washington correspondence of the Times-Herald says that interest in the Republican Presidential situation has died out there. It is no longer discussed. The nomination of McKinley on the first ballot is every whereconceded. Also word comes from St. Louis that the reservations for rooms and ■quarters for other candidates have

ieen countermanded, and orders or extra coaches and even trains on the railroads have been canceled. McKinley’s nomination at St. Louis without oppositipn is almost a foregone conclusion. - The Repnblican Congressional convention will meet at Michigan City, today.' While both candidates claim to htfve a majority of the delegates, The Republican is pretty strongly convinced that the claims of Mr. Crumpacker have a much better foundation than those of Mr. Hanley, and that the former will be the choice of the convention. Should the result prove otherwise, and Mr. Hanley be the successful man, we shall have ft no kick coming” for between the two men, as able and upright men and strong. and available candidates, there is not much to choose.

State Senator McDonald,"editor of the Ligonier Banner,’the democratic paper of that place, who served with James A. Mount in the State Senate, says of him: “The nomination of Hon. Jas. A. Mount as a republican candidate for fqr governor is indeed gratifying to the senator’s many personal friends over the state irrespective of party. Mr Mount has won a great victory for he was not the choice of the politicians, his nomination coming from the ’ people. He will make a strong candidate, one of the strongest that could have been nominated, and if elected, .will make ajnost creditable governor. The democrats will have to nominate a strong man to defeat Farmer Mount.”

Quite a sensation was created in Indiana political circles by the attempt, on Wednesday of last week, of a portion of the Republican State Committee to remove Capt. J. K. Gowdy from the ' position of state chairman. While there seems to be little doubt but that Capt. Gowdy has been somewhat arbitrary in his methods, to the disregard of the other members of the committee, and has also iu his laudable but perhaps rather too enthusastic zeal for McKinley, unnecessarily said some things shat could not be otherwise than very unplesant to Gen. Harrison’s friends, yet on the whole, there is no good reason to doubt that now, as in the two previous elections, he is organizing and conducting the campaign in a masterly manner, and for tha* reason it is well for the Republiern party in this state, that the attempt to remove him did no; succeed.

It would be a great thing for some people and .the country if they could only get hold of the truth that their worry about the money question is unfounded and wasteful. They are gratuitously spoiling business for themselves, and for others as far as they can, by lying awake nights for fear some ghost may carry them off. Are the not able to see what millions of “the ptafapeople’ I—have 1 —have seen all the time, that the money question is rendered harmless and empty by making the Tariff the controlling issue? Give the millions prosperity, good wages and plenty of work, and the agitation about money dies of starvation. Put into the Treasury a sufficient revenue to meet all public expenditures, with a reasonable surplus for exigencies or for reduction of the nation’s debt and there is no room for fear about the ability of the Government to maintain gold payments. Give the people ample employment for their funds in active business, and they are not going to lock them up in idleness by hoarding gold, or by sending it away to any other country where it cannot be as profitably employed. The logical way the straightforward way, the sure and safe way to settle these questions, is exactly that which the plain people'are taking. They have deliberately set themselves to straighten matters regarding their industry and their wages first of all, they being perfectly aware that when those things are set set straight, money questions will be settled rightly also, and that the men who can be trusted to protect the industries of the country are also the men and the only men who. can be trusted to protect the currency— N. Y. Tribune.

Where The Fault Lies. In making the present Congresshas found J itself limited. Another billion of dpi- ; Jars might be expended to as good* advantage as formerly but the public buildings of the'country, partly constructed, 1 a,re suffering by the lapse of time. hIhI the public works are wasting to the extent of more than a million of dollars a year, with the appropriations committee powerless to set aside mopey to carry on what has ibeen begun, or preserve, what was completed under Republcan administration. It is easy to ascertain where the trouble lies. 1 Every voter has come to the same , conclusion 6n this point. While the condition is a lack of funds, the fault back of the deficit has been shown again and again to he’with the Gor-man-Wilson incidental-protection law. During the first nineteen months of the operation of the Wilson law the receipts of the government were $481,423,509? The expenditures for the same period amounted to $557,581,385, and the deficiency was a matter of

_—The contrast bet ween the figures for this period and the first nineteen months of the McKinley law will show how differently the appropriations committee of the Fifty-first Congress was placed in the disbursing of the funds. For the first, nineteen months of the McKinley law and total disbursements were $541,930,783, and the receipts yyere $566,919,004. The surplus amounted to $24,985,221. The first nineteen months of the McKipley protection law | showed customs receips in the 1 sum of $302,884,886, and the internal revenue receips reached $231,222,122. The corresponding period of the Wilson apology developed a falling off of $45,815,613 in customs receipts, the total being $257,069,273, and a comparative deficiency of $30,152,310 in the internal revenue receipts, the Sum for the first nineteen months of Democratic legislation being only $201,069,812 against $231,222,122 under the McKinley law for a corresponding space.; There are appropriations asked for that should be made, and the committee and every member of Congress knows that they should in all justice and wisdom be allowed at once, but the only thing to be done under the existing circumstances is to cut down so far as possible, even as Watch-dog Holman would do, the usual and imperative expenses of the government. . Uncle Sam cannot _ turn his “credit” over to the appropriations committee, though its health is still good, in spite of bond juggling and Democratic recklessness. The bill’just passed putting additional restrictions on immigration, is a decided step in the right direction. The bill provides among other things that only those immigrants,‘not the parents of residents of the United States, who can read and write the English or some other language, will be permitted to enter the ports, and also prohibits the hiring of aliiMJs.uW.bo. coipfe border to wosk, without becoming permanent citizens of the United States. ■. ■ —. ■

Delphi Coming to the Front.

V. L. Ricketts, of the new Delphianßaths Sanitarium was in the city last week on business of the new institution. Delphfiscoming to the front as a health resort. The waters there have few, if any superiors in the World and the Sanitarium is in the hands of some of the best men in the city and is destined to become a feat-, ure not only of Delphi, but of the state. The institution has a great many friends in this county and there is seldom a time when it is not represented at the Delphian Baths - Indiana has already a number of famous health resorts and Delphi is certain to take rank with the best of them.

Why Wo Don’t VVitnt Free Silver. Eli Pejkins has written , many things on silver that are good, But hifrlatest is. his beet, and is under the heading “Van Horne on Free Coinage.” The .article so fully answers questiems asked by esteemed friends all over the country, and'we give it in full belowT - ” I t hought I had presented every view of the Tree-coinage, fallacy in my different articles and in pay book on coinage, but a day or two ago Sir William Van Horne, the president of the Canadian Pacific railroad, shed-a- new and novel light on the subject. I met him in Montreal. . Speaking of American money, I told Mr. Van Horne that many free-coiners in the states think that of silver coined by the United States is really demonetized. They think that our silver will not be taken all over the world. Now, I said, your system of railroads and ships extend from Haliacross thq. continent to Vancouver, and over the oceau to Japan and China. “Yes,” said the president, “and we sell tickets-around the- world.” “Do you take our silver all over your system the same as gold ?” I

asked. “Certainly. We take American silver the same as gold or..»BEitish silver all over Canada and in Yokohama and. Hong Kong. A man can buy a ticket or pay for any freight with American silver the same as with gold.” “Do you take Indian, Japanese or-Mexican silver?” “Yes, but at half price. The silver these nations have coined is jJemorietized. They have free coinage. They have not guaranteed it as England, France and America have guaranteed their silver.” “But we have no real gold under our silver,” I said. “Neither have you gold under auy of your greenbacks, silver certificates or treasury notps. You actually owe $350,000,000 for borrowed gold.” “But still cur guarantee is good?” “Yes, America is a rich country. You have a tariff for revenue, or should have, and you have- side assets.” “But suppose we should have free coinage?” I asked. “You mean, suppose the United States, with $580,000,000 of silver lying idle in your treasury, should agree to pay double the market price for all silver brought to your mints and go on coining ad infinitum?” “Yes, that’s what the free silvei men want.” — — .- “Well, sir, the day the United States does that we'will cease to take your coined silver at par.” “But why?”

“Because your guarantee would not be good. The American gold guarantee is stretched to its utmost limits now. The world knows that the United States couldn’t do this thing. "You could not coin the billions of dollars worth of commercial silver in the world and pay double price for it. It would block your mints. It would come in train loads from China, Mexico "and Tndiwr'-The day -yeu- do ikisfoolish thing I will load a ship with 50-cent Mexican dollars at Tlong Kong and put on full sail for San Francisco. The silver manufacturers like Tiffany would ship their million dollars’ worth of old silver to your mint, where the government would pay a double price for it in shining dollars guaranteed as good as gold. England, which has nevdr coined but $120,000,000 in silver, couldn’t do this; and the moment you stopped doing it, all your coined dollars, even the $625,000,000 now coined and guaranteed as good as gold, would drop, like Mexican and Indian silver, to its commercial value. And who wants to do this?”

“Why,” I said, “about five silver states with a population under 2,000,000. These two million people, interested in mines, in order to double their wealth would .jeopardize 65*000,000 in the other states. They would bankrupt the. nation and make her the laughing stock of Europe. The silver interest of Idaho is about $2,000,000, while the wool interest is worth $6,000,000. California’s interest is in gold and wool. Montana’s silver interest is about a million and a half.” ** * * The farmer and the laborer is now being paid in silver or paper as good as gold. Can we hope to

have any thing better ? The. min< r is making a cat’s-paw < £ the fat* mer. . ; - .

BLIGHTED HOPES.

Young Woman’s Efforts to’tdptnre a Man's’ Did Not Have Desired’ Kesdlt. “You have a careworti look which is nevy to me,” rerfiarked the girl with the Ostrich feather boa. ‘“Can it be that you ate helping to, get up a;charitable entertainment?” ■ * “I£o, T am not,” replied the girl with the lorgnette; “I have woes enough of my own without that. I’ve beep having my photograph taken.” p “I don’t see any thing ’tavful in that, save the fact that you have to pay the photographer,” said the girl with lhe "ostrich feather boa. - ’’All you. have-fo-do is to sit. still for a moment, and it—” “1 can manage the sitting still well -enough, ’’said the. girl with the lorgnette; “I once stayed in the house with a female sufftagist until my own voice sounded strange to me. I never did like, to be photographed, but, you see, I promised Charley Toker ages ago that. I would send him a picture. I heard te» days ago that he has made quite a fortune in the far west, and my conscience began to prick me regarding ifiy broken promise. It would be sb sad if lie lost his faith in woman just now; I really felt it* my duty, however unpleasant it might be, to have that photograph taken at once." “Quite right, too. “But after all, you might as well have sent him a copy of the photograph you and I had taken together last summer. I shouldn’t have jnihded at all if you had,”—• — I “Thank you, dear, but that one is I much better of you than of me; itmight I hnve eansed him to think that Thaddc- ' velopcd a pair of cross-eyes in his abI sence. No, as I say, I really felt it my : duty, to sit. I lay awake for two nights j deciding whether it should, be a full ; face or three-quarterly iew.” - “And which did you decide on?” p“That made no difference, dear; the : .photographer merely glanced at me and i said: ‘Profile.’” i “Humph! He couldn’t have been more I despotic had he been a dresmaker.” “No. I wanted to year my .new I evening gown, but he decided on the I old silk waist I wore under my jacket. I He wouldn’t let me’ have the negative I > wanted, either.” I “Good gracious! You surely can’t be i well, dear. Was there anyone on wjiom i you wanted to make a good impression | in .the next room?” I “Not a soul; The truth is that those ; negatives showed me two wrinkles I did | not know that I possessed, and when I. the wrinkles begin to come it is time to i be amiable to everybody.” “Il’m. Perhaps you are quite right. But how did you like the photographs when they Were finished ?” ! “Very well; they had a yielding, amiable look, calculated to produce a great effect upon a man who has just made a fortune.” “Pshaw! Any girl would look amiable at such a man, unless—” “She wa s al re ad y. en gaged toone who had made a fortune some time ago; I know. Well, I sent the photograph to Charley, when I finally got it. What do you think he> wrote me in reply?” “Is it. possible that he didn’t like it?” “Oh, no; he liked it very much. Said that his wife thought that my style of hair-dressing perfectly lovely, and—” “But I didn’t know that he hada wife!” “Neither did I,” said the girl with the lorgnette. “Do you think I’d have taken all fha-t trouble if I had known it NY.

OBLIGING COL. WRIGHT.

They Made a Big Mistake, But That Didn't Count. There wasn't uny particular excitement over the hanging of the man pointed out and arrested at Big Bend as the chap who stole a pack mule from Col. White’s camp, over on Fish river. One of White’s men, who was over_ after bacon, happened to meet the stranger, and he wen£ to Jim Redfern, president of the vigilance committee, and said: "Jim, is it a good day fur a hangin’?” “Wall, tolerably fa’r,” replied Jim. “The kuss who stole our pack mewl is down in the tin-front saloon.” “I see. And you want him hung?” “I don’t keep no great shakes about it myself, but I reckon the kurnel would be pleased.” "I’m willin’ to obleege Kurnel White, as he’s a good friend of mine, but do you think the , critter down thar has dny objecfc9WeHjS~to -bein’ hwng^ H * "He don’t look like a man who’d kick about it. ’Pears more like a critter who’d be glgd to be off the airth.” “Wall, we’ll take chances on him,” said Jim, and he went to his-shanty and got a rope and asked eight or ten of the boys to go along. When the crowd reached the tin-front saloon the stranger was just cornin’ out. “Say, we want you,”* remarked Redfern. ‘ . “What fur?” “Goin’ to hang you!” “Cause why?” “Fur stealin’ Kurnel White’s pack mewl.” “Wall,rflre away!” L * He was escorted to a thee whereon a dozen or more men had been duly hanged, and lifted upon an empty whisky barrel and the noose placed over his neck. “Want to say anything?" asked Jim, as all Was ready. “Nothin’ ’tall.” “Then let ’er go! ” An hotir later White’s man, who had started for home, returned to hunt up Mr. Redfern and say: “Look-a-yere, Jim, that feller didn’t steal our mewl.” “No!”

“They got the feller and the mewl over at Clay City and hung him this domin’,. J thought this was the feller, but I must, hev bin mistook.”“I see.
