INDIANA AND "FAVORITE SONS." There has been a lot of silly talk indulged in by the advocates of certain favorite sons whose claims are being urged for the nomination of the Republican presidential nomination this year, as to what Indiana owes these sons for the work of their respective states in bringing about the renomination of ex-president Harrison at the Minneapolis convention. Personal letters are being written to leading members of the party insisting that Indiana's support should be given to this candidate, or that, for the reason that Indiana owes it to such candidates. A few weeks ago emissaries of Governor Morton visited this state, and spent some time here, in the hope of in iluencing the people in his favor, on the ground that he was entitled to it for the reason that New York had been loyal to Harrison, and thus prevented his defeat. The same action has been taken in a measure by the friends of each of the other candidates, and from the talk that has been indulged in it has been made to appear that Indiana Republicans were bound to be base ingrates no matter what they did, for refusing to pay political debts long overdue. As a matter of fact, Indiana is not beholden to any favorite son, other than her own, who, unfortunately for his party, is not a candidate. In the Minneapolis convention Harrison on the first and only ballot received 535 1-6 votes, Blaine, 183 1-0, McKinley, 182. Of the votes Harrison received, the states now presenting candidates gave him 146, and these subtracted from the total show that without them he would have had a fraction more than 889 votes, or within 64 of a re-nomination. The other votes would doubtless have been divided betwdjs|irJ31aine and McKinley, in equal proportions, and the votes that are usually waiting in a convention like that to "get on the band wagon" would very likely have been thrown to Harrison as by far the strongest man. Here is the vote of the Minneapolis convention as given by the states now presenting candidates, and urging that Indiana give her votes in return for past services:

Harrison,

Blaine. McKinley 14

Illinois (Cullom) 34 Iowa (Allison) *....80. 6 1 Kentucky (Bradley)— 22 2 1 Maine (Reed) 12 Minnesota (Davis) 8 9 1 Nebraska (Manderson). IS 1 New York (Morton)..... 27 33 10 Ohio (McKinley) 1 45 Pennsylvania (Quay)... 19 8 42

Total 14(1 80 101 It thus appears that the states now presenting favorite sons as caiulidutes for the the nomination this year cast a total of 181 votes against the candidate of Indiana, while he received but 146 votes from the same states. Of the states that really have favorite sons whose chances may be said to be at all favorable for nomination, New York, Ohio, Iowa and Maine, 108 votes were cast against Harrison while he was given but 48 votes, as follows:

Harrison. Blaine. McKinley

New York 27 85 10 Ohio 1 45 Iowa 20 5 1 Maine 12

Total 48 52 56 It would seem from this that none of the states now presenting favorite sons can rightfully claim that anything particular is due them from Iudiana. The Indiana man was nominated in spite of them, and Indiana's representatives In the St. Louis convention with their thirty votes will be placet! in a position where their influence will amount to something if properly handled.

IT is quite evident that Senator "Bill" Chandler is not figuring on a position under the next administration, if the head of that administration is to be William McKinley, of Ohio.

Tins McKinley boom received another onward push this week, by the withdrawal of another favorite son. Senator Davis, of Minnesota. The delegates from that state to the St. Ixniis convention are for the Ohio man.

as just a cause as that of the

HAVISO built the best battle ship in the world, and honored it by naming it aftJr the Hooeier state, congress should go to work now and make a little more ocean to float it. The noble vessel has been stnck in the mud off the coast of South Carolina, -where she went on her way to a dry dock.

SPKAKKR RKKD is keeping a very discreet silence on current political subjects, but some of his friends more than make np for any silence on his part, for instance. Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, who is furnishing the Democratic newspapers with a lot of ammunition, which of course they are not very slow in using.

THK alleged habit of Americans of taking to drink when they meet adverse* is verified by the fact that since 1887 the annual consumption of malt liquors in this country has increased from &.81 gallons per capita of our population to 14.95 gallons in 1806. If it is true that such is the habit our people prefer malt to distilled liquors for the purpose of drowning their sorrows for

since 1869 the consumption of distilled liquors by people has fallen off from 1.69 gallons to 1.2 gallons per capita last year.

THERE is considerable ground for the restrictions passed by ministers and others on the evil influences of a certain class of newspapers when a New York newspaper announces its willingness to give $7,500 for the autobiography of H. H. Holmes, who is to be hanged in May next, for his numerous murders. *1 A

IT will be news to a great many persons that there are enough Republicans in Texas to get up a good free-for-all fight, but this is what they did in their state convention this week, over the election of delegates to the St. Louis convention. The Allison and Reed forces combined and defeated the McKinley people. Vi

A GREAT many persons will welcome and agree with the views of a recent writer on hygienic matters who says that the old adage that "early to bed and early to rise makes one healthy, wealthy and wise." He says there is nothing in it, and that, as a matter of fact, the Amerian people do not get enough sleep. He says that the great and alarming increase of insanity in this country can justly be laid to this fact, that we do not get enough sleep. The eight hour system furnishes a good solution of this fault, and those who are able to work eight hours at their usual avocation, can set apart eight hours for sleep, and eight hours of the twenty-four for other purposes are those who have good health, clear minds and live to the good old age which is set down as three score years and ten.

THE fool killer will have his hands full of work before the state legislatures now in session reach adjournment, and the chances are that he will have to engage some assistants. The Ohio legislature this week spent time and the money of the people in passing a bill making it a misdemeanor for a lady to wear a hat to the theater, or, in other words, making it a misdemeanor for a manager of any public entertainment to permit any person to wear a hat or other headwear of such a character as to in any way obstruct the view of persons sitting behind such person. If state legislatures haven't anything better to do than this it would seem they had better be called home to their constituents. The theater hats will never become obsolete until the women acquire good taste sufficient to discard them—and good taste cannot be created by legislation.

INDIANAPOLIS people can never forgive the man who says a word against the fair fame of the capital city. Henry Irving was in Indianapolis this week, and being called before the curtain between acts he made a little speech—similar to those he makes in every city he visits—in which he said he was receiving the same cordial welcome he received twelve years ago, and that he remembered his former visit with gratitude, appreciation and satisfaction.. Whereupon the News pulled on him an interview he submitted to in New York after his previous Indianapolis visit, in which he said that the city had too many fat ladies and dog shows, that there were too many people there !who were willing to pay ten cents for an afternoon at a dog show, and closed by saying that Indianapolis was not then a congenial home for art. Irving drew good audiences this week, but it is likely that if his former impressions had been printed in advance of the engagement he would have played to empty benches, for the Indianapolis people would never have forgiven him for his rude remarks about their fat ladies and dog shows.

THOSE pessimists who are continually harping on the idea that the world is growing worse can certainly find nothing in recent legislation in this country in the cause of morality to justify them in their views. The duel, prize fighting, the lottery, and certain forms of gambling have certainly received the worst of recent legislation, and in many of the legislatures laws have been passed showing that the character of the legislation has teen in favor of morality. In Virginia there has been strong legislation against professional and organized gambling, and it was not so ago that New Jersey passed laws against race track gambling, and that, too, in a state where not so very many years ago the gamblers seemed to have secured control of the legislature. The leading gambler was a member of that body, aud his starter was the speaker of the house. Examination of the laws enacted in various states in 1895 shows that new or more stringent statutes against gambling and lottery were put on the statute books of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, Illinois, Kansas, Montana, South Dakota, Washington aud Florida, and penalties against pool selling and betting were provided in New York, Indiana, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Kansas, and other states. It is an easy matter to find fault, and to say that the world is growing worse, but an examination of the facts in the case shows that there is very little ground for making such a charge.

THE war clouds that have been hanging over Europe so long, and have often given ominous rumblings, may burst in all their fury within the next few weeks, with disastrous results. The conquest of Africa will be the cause of the trouble if it arises. The Boers, it is said, are preparing to declare their entire independence of England, and have been guaranteed such independence by Germany, Austria and France, all of whom are jealous of English encroachments. To acid to the complications Russia, France and Turkey have formed an alliance against Great Britain and protested against the proposed advance up the Nile by the British troops to attack the dervishes. This expedition has its justification in the attack made by the Mahdists upon Kaasala, which has been occupied by the Italans since July I, 1894. The Italian possessions lie along the lower southwest coast of the Red Sea, and include the colony of Erythrea and the protectorate of Abyssinia, although the latter disputes the suaerainty of Italy. When the Abyssinians at Adowa inflicted such terrible losses upon the Italians, the Mahdist, who had held the English in check to the north, began

an assault upon the Italians to the east So soon as the Mohammedan tribes renewed th&r belligerency Lord Salisburyfelt it incumbent to take aggressive steps. The Soudan, which is the subject of the present military operations, is not that vast tract to the south of Sahara, but Eastern Soudan, which has an area of nearly one million square miles, and an estimated population of ten millions. Until 1882 this section was to a greater or less extent subject to Egypt, but the revolt of the Mahdi precipitated a holy war, and his successor, the Khalifa, now rules over the revolted country. It is said that the British force, will eventually push on to New Dongola, which is about 850 miles southwest of Cairo. Another British force is to land at Suakim, on the Red Sea, which is about due east from New Dongola, and this is to make its way to the not far inland town of Berber. If this expedition is sent out regardless of the protests of the other powers there is almost sure to be a general war, and it may result in some remarkable changes in the map of Europe.

Because

They know from actual use that Hood'B is the best, i. e., it cures when others fail. Hood's Sarsaparilla is still made under the personal supervision of the educated pharmacists who originated it.

The question of best is just as positively decided in fevor of Hood'B as the question of comparative sales.

Another thing: Every advertisement o_i Hood's Sarsaparilla is true, is honest.

The following is a clipping from the Mercantile and Financial Times, an insurance journal published in New York &nd Chicago, and is recognized as an authority on the standing and financial conditions of insurance companies.

It is as yet the only legal life insurance company chartered under the laws of Indiana. "Its.'business is undpr the management of Captain W. R. Myers, president, and Mr. Henry Malpas, secretary. President Myers is a man of high standing in business, financial and underwriting circles. He was formerly a high official of the state, and is a man universally looked upon and respected. Secretary Walpas has had many years' experience in life underwriting work, and brings to bear great organizing and executive capacity, as well as great personal popularity. "According to the figures now before us, the company had on January 1,1896, assets of $394,314, of which $177,483 was net surplus as regards policy holders. The company has on deposit with the state department of Indiana $305,750 on sound in-terest-bearing securities. With a handsome surplus over all liabilities, and with every facility known to modern under* writing, experienced underwriters in the management, and some of the ablest financiers of Indiana and other states interested, the confidence of the insuring public, and consequently a prosperous condition is assured. 'The business of this company is con?d upon a conservative line of life unriting, and as practiced by the best jjfpanies, taking good risks at adequate which the company recognizes as the satisfactory course to pursue, to

Iperly obtain income and business for company, secure the assured his indemnity, and the owners of the company a (air return for their investment and risk assumed. "The company has no obligations dne or overdue and unpaid. It makes a fair and square bid for patronage among the brainy men and women of the Central Western states. There is no beating about the bush in its claim that it is a Central Western Company, selling insurance policies unsurpassed in liberality and attractiveness—the peer of the best life insurance company of the United States. Its funds are invested in local mortgage securities and kept in our midst, not one dollar being sent east to enrich states already abounding in wealth. "There is no question but the company is sound as a gold dollar as if it were a hundred fears old. We shaltbe glad to congratulate it upon still greater success in good works in time to come"
