Porter county was not represented at the democratic organizing convention of the 10th district, at Lafayette Thursday. Flopper 3. Bczarth, of Valparaiso, started to attend, but failed to conneot on account of a wreck on the Michigan City division of the Monon, This wreck may thus have serious consequences. If Flopper concludes, which he naturelly will, that it was done through the maohinations of othei democratic leaders, jealous of Flopper's commanding position in the party, that may cause him to flop again And when Flopper flops no one ever knows where he will light. He might try to tumble into the Republican pen sgain The danger is real, for Flopper is like the wind end bloweth where he lieteth and droppeth where he floppeth, in what seems to be the easiest place to light in.

Much has been said of the difference in the amount of prize money which Admirals Sampson and Schley received, and in a tone to give the impression that such disparity was due to the favoritism ot the navy department. There is a difference between prize and bounty money— the former being money paid for ships captured and sold by order of the admiralty court, while the latter is paid by the treasury for warships of the enemy destroyed. Of bounty money Admiral Schley gets $3,400, or nearly half as much as Sampson. The remainder of Sampson’s award of $25,000, and that of the captains who were with his fleet all the time, was for merchant prizes taken and sold during the campaign. This is why Sampson’s award is so much larger than thpt of Schley. The important fact is that the awards are made by the Court of Claims. To that court came the question of who was in command of the fleet at the battle of Santiago before it could make awards, and it decided in favor of Sampson. This was one reason why the question of who was in command at the battle of Santiago was not submitted to the court of inquiry. It has been decided by a legal tribunal.—lndianapolis Journal.

It appears from the report of Governor Hunt, of Porto Rico, that unusual prosperity has come to that island, where, two years ago, the conditions were almost hopeless. Peace prevails, and the industries of the island are prosperous. Thousands of children are attending public schools, and the revenues of the island will meet the expenditures of the government. This is the result of the so-oalled colonial policy of the Republican party, Journal. Yes, and especially is it the result of the Porto Rioo temporary tariff bill, whioh the Journal and a whole lot other papers made such an insane howl against, when it was adopted. And lauded Congressman Crumpaoker and a half dozen other cbronio kickers to the skies for opposing.

E. Tyner was up from Monon on business, today. He likes his pumping job there her ter than at Cedar Lake, as he gets better pay and has excellent school facilities for his children. Whereas, at Cedar Lake, the only schools worth mentioning are the echtols of fish Leonard Kent, 16 year old son of P. M. Kent, living two miles southeast oi Brookstou. accidentally shot himself with a target rifle, Thursday, while hunting in the woods, with another boy. The bullet passed through his head, causing death in two hours Frank L. Hunt last week purchased the W. L. Handley drug store at Lowell and lias been in charge of the same since last Monday.
