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. ■. ■ —. ■
