Some Comments on the Tom Taggart Demonstration.

Congressman G. 13. Landis writing in the Delphi Journal as tbe Man on *he*Cornor. has the following ' Thatjwas a* greatjjderoonstratio* livtnJtolThrmaa Tnggait ot“lndian» •polis on }Taeid*y was interesting because it was novel. It was the first time within my knowledge or reeolection when a *' campaign 1 ’ had been made for the position of chairman of a great Nat. tonal party, It was ‘n the magnitude of the demonstration, a genuine tribute to Taggart, by the men vhc had worked with him in politios. The orowd was representative of the nen of all olas;ea who “work” in politics, either for honor, pastime iple&Bare or profit. But there was -ittle that was representative of that larger chus of men who are satisfied with controlling one vote saoh, and that the ballot they mark. So Tar as the demonstration was personal fc the genial “Smiling Tom” it must have been gratifying. And it has seemed to me that the ■workers in Tom’s party have been more interested in naming the man who should manage the campaign than they were in naming the man into whose hands the peace and the' •welfare of the Nation should be given if that campaign should win, or what the Xaionai policy of the party ■should be if entrusted with power. ’This condition is new in American politics; is it good, is it safe, is it wholesome? lam afiaid that tome of tbe Champions of “Smiling Tom’’ have remembered only his success, for. . getting that the greatest defeat his yearly ever suffered in th? state, when in U 94 it gave a Republican plurality of 44,000, it was under Taggart’s leadership as chairman and that he has been aotivelv identified with the oommittee in every campaign since with an unbroken' record of defeats.

A Fairbanks Story.

The standard Fairbanks story, which he can tell with much gusto, 3>ears repetition. “I was campaigning in lowa with Q-ov. Gear,’’ said Senator Fairbanks, *‘and one night Joe Blackburn, of £entuokv, was in the audience. He happened to be making a campaign on the other side. “After the meeting he met us and proposed to step into a oonvenient J)laoe and get a drink. I was very itired with my effort and the suggestion struck me most favorably. •“What will you have, Governor?” oiaiked Mr Blaokburn. “Governor Gear was thoughtful for a moment and then replied: “‘I think I’ll have a glass of min«sral water.’ ‘“Fairbanks, what do you want?’ «Bked Blackburn. “‘I should like a glass of milk,' 1 replied, “Ths waiter stepped forward and Peeked inquiringly at Mr. Blaok'burn, whose face wore apeouliar expression. ““Oh’ [he remarked with extrome disgust* ‘bring me a pietoe of pie!’ ”

The Flying Rollers at Brook.

Tnat same detachment of those curious religious enthusiasts from Benton Harbor that were here a week ago, also visited Brook. That humorous, sarcastic and ofttimes ales 9adly ribald elitor, Stonehill of die Brook Reporter, thus touches np their visit there: The first representatives ever in th s vicinity of that pecukar sect or set commonly known as the “Flying Roilers,” but who term themselves Christian Israelites, blew into (own from some end of the compass on Tuesday afternoon, and held meetiu js in the afternoon and evening. They are cu a pros elyttng tour through Northern Indiana and travel in a large covered wagon drawn by a fine pair of mules. The earthly headquarters of this peculiar sect is at Benton Harbor, Michigan, and , where their eternal quarters is at we failed to learn from ttieir discourse. Their - • : — —r I earthly leaders are Benjamin and Mary. They only use on 'name apiece, be a part of thejregenerated’ and Jlost^tribes|*of larael.l’goiogt’over) the* country to find loss their ancient sect. They do not believe in the use of the razor or shears and their “bairsute appendege” reminds one more of a long haired gaog of cow punchers than a tribe hunting after lost members. There is only one member of any such a tribe in this vicinity and that is Ben Leopold and he has lost track of his geneology in the soramble for Harvest Festival concessions. The party was composed of four persons, two men, a woman and girl, namely, Joseph, Paul, Lillian and Esther.

Patriotism Not Waning.

Department Commander D. R. Lucas of the G. A. R , .speaking of the great number of soldiers’ reunions and G. A. R, celebratiou being held in Indiana, says the enthusiasm at rach gatherings is increasing, but that with eaoh year there is a feeling that this may be the last reunion for many cf the veterans. ‘All the surviving veterans of the oivil war are getting old,” said Rev. Luoas. “They gave their youth to their country. Mingled *ith their gay stories of war limes there is an earnest hope that patriotism is not lacking in the younger generations. I might say for myself that I believe patriotism is not growing less among the younger elements of oitizens It ia perhaps. les3 loud in its demonstrations than in former years, but it is deep and is growing deeper ”
