Republicans cannot. trßbrd to fritter away their strength on ephemeral ijiieslioiis, tritliiig issues, or local jealousies. Ours isYi close state, but Tie secured to co mien in revolutioii. No republican in Indiana should hesitate about his course. There'is virtually hut Two panics in tiro field, the democratic party and the republican party; turd the (jnestiou at issue of great national importance is tlie validity, of Mr. Hayes’ title to the presidency. - While that remains unsettled business must droop, enterprise ling, times remain hard, and the people be in a state of disquietude. The Logunspoi't P/an*t>» judges from present appearances, there will be but little building done in Logansport this season. The saino paper says tho courts ol' the eouuly eat up ono-luilf of all ike money realized from taxation. Tins country generally is down with ‘ the sumo complaint.

On tlie other hand, Mr. Major betrayed tho known wishes of his constituents, and surrendered his ituluence to the democratic party; and to-day he is a prominent camlidato fur their senatorial nomination 1 from this dfiHrict-

Concerted to communistic democracy in the light of tho present day. Hoover, yon will regret it, or we are mistaken as to the sentiment of tlie people of White county. Communism is certainly getting a firm hold in lls9*«on , iUry. Tho advocates of those principles now publiwb some twenty newspapers, Seven of which arc dailies. They nre pshoiit tally the same as olio with the nihilists of Russia, the socialists of Germany, and tho communists of France.. The New York Herald says the following is a part as the creed published by the New York revolutionary committee in an address lo the people of France; We nrr communists because we desire the just miristibution of wealth and work among all men, and that the power to possess shoal'd nut belong to a few, but to all Oitha community. • We are communists because wo desire to destroy this individual property personified by cgiitismaind iniquity: became we wish to found on overthrown society a bund of happiness and pel-feet equality among Men. Communism is tho dearest ntiiTraation of the revolution aud the last stage of human progress. We repudiate all doetrines which aim at imposing taxes on the fortunes, the privileges or tlie revenue of thu rich, because this would tend to consecrate in lbe bosom of humanity inequalities which it is our iiope to destroy.

Wcare.a,heists, because, consequent with nnrw-lvft.-. mir logic refuses to admit a Supreme Being, a chimera—something monstrous and outside humanity. We deny this error from which Inis flowed and (lows tile degrA hitiotl, thw enslavement amt Ihc martyrdom of mankind, bosimso tt is in tlie name of fhht imaginary creature that the greatest' ntroefties have been committed—massacres without, number—and which have retarded progress and science. In tlie new society—that to which the empire of tile world h.'s been promis'd, Hint which' must regenerate ihT races, lint which inn.*! set us free—we do now eeogniae Hod; ve wjli not have the (Toil in whose name su many crimes have been committed, so lunch Idoo I shed. Let us gei rid of this phantom of our miseries: Tpt us look at t(ie reality, science, and (lie world shall be saved. We are reviduthmists because only by revolution can wo hope for victory. Because we wish to gain or.r ends without stopping at half measures rr for new delays, which mo but a prolonging of (lie actual stale of misery and ;in adjournment of I he commune. V.o nre l-avolutiunists because we desire to overturn by force a society winch upholds itself by force. Because we know that we mutt conquer, at u.k»lever priixt, political power, which nlono can establish tlie dieiature pf the proletariat and force it to net until there shall only be equal citizens in the new society. The revolution being justice and equality whatever opposes its triumph ought lo he mercilessly crushed. In I'c close of their address Ihey say: With the Inst priest will disappear the last vest ige ol'stupidity and error. With the last bourgeois will disappear the last vestige of the exploitation of labor, the lust vestige of oppression and misery. The moment draws m»r qjicn events will bring -us. ‘lie occaaimijof gle ami definite history. Communists, atheists; revolutionist 8, close up our ranks. Lei a bond more sacred Ilian the Holy Alliance unite us to advance tii the conquest of political power for the complete extermination of tlie Jesuits and the boitrgeo’nie. These nu n, whether contemplated us nihilists, socialists or communists are destruction is'*. The orguni/.nliou is composed of mn I contents, reekless dmttipslitid nfheisfie fanatics, and is a very dangerous one ‘fo society and state. The revolutionary sehcnie of ft. the niujority of the democratic Members of tlio lower house of congress is certainly tainted with communism. Let every thinking man, every patriot and every tuni) who loves, quiet, order, peace and prosperity study and watch the movements of tlio advocates of tho above principles. They ltiedn mischief.
