The 1900 National Election.

liSptor Republican: iast Tuseday I cast my thirteenth rata for the’ national ticket, twelve ’f . ! ’ t- *-• ** «1 these being cast in Marion town&,np, Jasper county, Indiana. The Denver platform was the most ssetorical and the least logical in Sensts; I ever opposed. “ Tnd idve of' notoriety, oftite and ntoney rather than love of eountry were its rote getting apywirf - ’More' amendments to our con•tittitioTi were 5 ’ astaft for andt hint d at than in any platform of any party in all our natiothtf life. Class legisMition was promised on lines that srhre expected to harvest the votes •f those wuo wanted office, pow.r and sanaey. Mr. Bryan, thd experienced candidate, is an attractive and lovaCto man as a" friend and -neighbor, ills advocacy of the platform was seuadtive in phrazeOlogy and vocal deitvery. The democratic patty had able

Ti.e federal iwny opposed the war of 1&12 and usservediy p.tsseu away In la2o. The Whig pariy stood against *ti e MtXiwar and the Seciet Society of HBpw Notliings- helped brny it - jn XS62. Tue democia ic party speaking in itjhvenribas did hot "bea'i til.V iupp.ut tie war of ihe Union and in 1872 akJbptsd tlie candidate and p atform of toe liberals and its obl uacy was tien due. The eleven states that tried to secede soliuly cling to t-e remains of toe lost cause and Lrm the basis of the lingering democratic tarty, otnerwise thorougly wounded lu evety respect. Mr. Bryan ought to continue to lead the old party, tor he can attack and divide that in-

creasing nuiuhe. who want “no g ,vernment” by his wonderfully deduct ve personality. The na.ioa’s j ext trouble, ts it has any, will come fiom ti.e a lass who want wealth wit out tie ability, industry and frugality of hab.t f.<i get i| honestly. If all the pessimists were united coheir nvimher would lie formidable. It is best that Mr. Bryan continue to 'be the peerless leader and h sir" ill the democratic party. Tub«ingenuity in framing vote-catching planks makes each succeeding la'mijaigii useful as an educator, because of the artful manner he has of proposing tilings 'that tiie people don’t want and the country should noi he hampered with. The country is safe until 1912. S. P. THOMPSON.

Crumpacker for Ways and Means Committee.

The following telegram from Washington, D. C., was. published in the Indianapolis News Friday: After March 4, Indiana will cease to exert influnece in the national House of Representatives. In the reorganization of the body, Representative Crumpacker, of the Tenth district, will be the only member f. om the state who Mill be entitled to a committee chairmanship. He is now at the head of fh'e committee on census, and it is assumed that he will be continued in that position, which takes on added importance as the date for taking the census approaches. By the shakeup the State loses the chairmanship of the committee on postorfices and post roads 'held by Mr. Overstreet, and the chairmanship of the committee on printing, ljeld by Mr. Landis. If Cannon Is elected Speaker, It is altogether likely that he wi;f add Mr. Crumpaclcer to the committee op ways and means and thus give tie' State a part in the work of revising the tariff next spring. U After March 4, Senator Beveridge will have the distribution of aft the Federal patronage in Indft na wif i t e exception of the presidential postmasters in the Sixth and Tilth districts. Among the places which tl e new President is to fill on the recommendation of the one Republican Senator from the State are United S ates district attorney, United States marshal, collectors of internal revenue for the two districts, collector of customs and United States p nsi n agent. The office of United States attorney will be vacant soon after the new Presidnet comes into office if not before that time, and the terms of the other Federal offires in the State expire at intervals during the next two years.

Baldwin and Dague Indicted.

A telegram from Logansp' rt h: s the following to say about the indictments . returned by the Newton grand jury against Baldwin & Dague, whose Goodland, Fowl r and Ambia banks were closed almost a year ago: judge Daniel P. Baldwin, of t is dtv, and William H. Dague, cf Kentland, have been indicted by the Newton county grand jury on two counts each, both charging em’ e zlement. The indictmeuts grew out of ULtjir connection with the Go dl iiid Bapk, which was closed by Sat 3 Auditor last' year. Jpitge Baldwin gave bunds in tee sum of •indiciment. bondsmen are A. G.

Daring Balloon Ascension.

Monticello Herald: The prettiest ballooh ascension ever seen here was made by Gecrge S - mons Saturday afternoon. Ge rge has jusj; lately erne ed tie field as an aeronaut, and this was his fifth ascension. He u;ed ti e semn b. 11 on and parachute that was made he e for Jas. Degeiing’s aseinsion on Old Settlers’ Day. It was inflated near the Monon depot, and the air was sn still that the ascent was almost perpendicular. Af.er reaching a height of about 4,000 fert the young aeronaut cut his parachute loose and shot downward. For some time .as er the parachute opened he stened to the people dite.tly under him to b. almost stationary in ti e air. Then as he veered a li* tie northward he was seen to be making a leautif.il huh somewhat pedloua descent, for. he seemed doomed to alight on the court house tower. He was pulling at tiie ropes anti making every effort to avoid it but apparently in vain. A breath of wind finally wafted him clear of the building, and he came' down in the southeast corner of the court bouse yard, his paiachu e catching and hanging on ti e limbs of tiie big elm. It was a fme spectacle for the crowd but a trying one for his' parents, who no doubt would much rather their venturesome son would content himself cn the earth.

A Cleveland man explaining the failure of the 3-cent sire't car fare catipdign in Cleveland, declares that it was due to the fact that 3-cent coin is minted by the government and he proceeds to urge the country’s crying need of tie “trkkei,” as he proposes to call the new coin. There is a suggeetiveness in the word tpat might not add to its popularity.
