The confidence that the Democratic leaders don’t have in carrying Indiana is demonstrated by the way the way the candidates for state offices don’t appear, Whether tested by state administrations or by national administrations, the Republican party baa always shown itself to be the one business party of th 3 country. So Democratic party indicates that it expects to make another campaign on the plan ot the campaign of 1892. It by any mischance it should happen to win the country may as well make up its mind to repeat what it was oailed upon tj undergo as the result of that mighty blunder. A report from Washington says that th- managers of the national convention at St Louis will use the unit rule to kill off the Hearst boom If the Democratic party had conducted itself with conscience and with reason in the past there would have been at this time no Hearst boom to be killtd off. It seems to De generally conceded that Indiana is going to be considered at the national convention. Thia is Datura! and it is reasonable also. We are inolined to think that the party will be thinking about the Hoosier state on election day. And Indiana is not going to disappoint the party either at the convention or at the election.

We wish every voter that ontern plates voting against the present administration at tbe next Lotion wculd sitdown with himself for a while and seriously ask himself if be baa any reasonable reason for casting suoh a vote. Lt bun lay aside hie political prejudice as nearly as possible and nek himself if there is a single fact on which be can base a hope for anything in tbe way of improvement from tbe opposition.

Sa far no Newton or Union township farmers have identified claimed the soil which was e * liberally mixed with tbe snow from tbe northwest, one day last week In fact it is now pretty clearly established that the owners must be looked-for much farther away. Tbe dirty snow extended all over northwest Indiana and it was probably brought by the winds from the far northwest. From the Dakotas, perhaps, or possibly even farther It was a very blizzardliKe storm, anyhow, composed of fine harb particles of snow, indicating that it had been transported bodily, from somewhere in that northwest region, where suoh storms are born and bred.

„ Gov. Du. bin baa been making another grand stand play for notoriety and presumed politics prominence, along hie much overworked lynching specialty. Thia time be baa written to the aheriff of Lawrence county, at Bedford, sharply cirticizing that officer for taking McDjnald, the Schafer murder suspect, to the state reformatory at Jeffersonville, for safe keeping, and ordering tbe aheriff to take the prisoner back to Bedford The whole tone of the Governor’s letter indicates very strongly that he would like to see an attempted or successful lynching at Bedford, with various persona killed and wounded dur ing the process. It would of course give the Governor another great obanoe to pose before tbe

nation as the fcreat anti-lynching governor; which seems to be his main reliance for a pull to make him a senator or vice president. Judge Wilson has issued an order of commitment, for McDonald at the reformatory, and he ia now legally placed there, and no at tention will be paid te Durbin’s fulmination, and illegal and untiled for order for bis return to Bedford.

Indiana World’s Fair Notes.

Indiana Day at the Exposition nas been changed from Sept, 15 to Sept. 1. 9 The through railroads between Indiana an I St. Louis have all agreed to reduce rates daring the exposition. Within a radius of 200 miles a ten day ticket for one fare plus $2 has been arranged for.

The Indiana world’s fair commission has set aside 18,000 to be used in furnishing the Indiana building at the exposition. The matter is in charge of Ghairmai Ball’s buildiug committee, which will consult with a committee ot artists and Architect VV. S. Mahurin regarding the furnishings,

All articles for the woman’s department at the exposition will be collected at the beadquarters of the Indiana oom mission in the State House between March 28 and April 4. The judges will then select the articles which will be forwarded to St Louis to go in the Indiana exhibit in this department Chairman Stevens of tbe live stock cumutittee of the Indiana world’s fair commission hopes t capture at least 300 prises for this state at the exposition. At tbe Columbian exposition in 1893 Indiana took 283 prizes. Chair man Stevens save the stock raisers are promising even better stock than went to Chicago, and u>n this he bises his hopes to. make a record in tbe prize capturing line.

Chairman Wioke of Jfie committee on building atone of the Indiana fair commission has advertised for bids for the work of erecting the massive stone wall which will be used to surround the Indiana exhibit in the mines and metallurgy building and which will constitute the display in bis department.
