Seneca. Williams. Holman, the “ Great Ob jector.” is again the democratic candidate for congress in the Fourth Indiana' district. He represented that district continuously for a great many years, but was defeated two years ago by James Watson. The populists of Indiana metat Indianapolis last Tuesday and placed a full ticket in the field. The “middle of the road men” prevailed and the convention refused to fuse with the democrats. Thomas Wadsworth was nominated for governor and A. P. Hanna for lieuten ant governor. Froude, the eminent writer and histo , rian, gives good advice when he says: , “Be honest with yourself, whatever the temptation: say nothing to others that । you do not think, and play no tricks with , your own mind. Os all the evil spirits ( abroad at this hour in the world insin j cerity is the most dangerous.” । A new democratic daily paper to 1 champion the free silver cause is to be 1 started in Chicago soon. The capital 1 stock is ^l.tW.tW, fully paid up. The 1

first issue will appear about August 10. Chicago no doubt affords an excellent field for this kind of a publication, as the city is at present without a daily pa per that advocates the free coinage of silver. Robert Garrett, formerly president of the B. 4 O. railroad, died at Deer Park. Md., last Wednesday. He had been a mental invalid for several years, but his physical infirmities did not assume a eeri ous phase until recently. He succeeded his father as president of the B. AO. road in 1884. Garrett was known as a business man of great pluck and daring. His age was 49. Hon. Edward A. Metzger, formerly representative for St. Joseph county in ^the state legislature, is being urged by his friends of St. Joseph county to be a candidate for the nomination for con gress on the democratic ticket. Mr. Metzger, however, refuses to allow his name to be used in this connection, but would accept the nomination for repro sentative in th" legislature. Fifty men of these United States have it in their power, by reason of the wealth which they control, to come together within the next 24 hours and arrive at an understanding by which every wheel of trade and commerce may be stopped from revolving, every avenue of trade blocked and electric key struck dumb. These fifty men can paralyze the whole country, for they control the circulation of the currency and can create a panic whenever they will. Chauncey M. De pew. The South Whitley News gives the following sensible advice: It frequently happens that a stranger coming into a community and putting on the airs of a gentleman is taken up at once and lion ized, though nothing whatever may be known of his antecedents, and the sequel often proves that it is not best to take up with strangers too eagerly. The old friends whom we have known all our i lives and whose characters are firm and j established as the everlasting hills, are ■ too apt to become commonplace tons, but we know that they will do to tie to and it is not best to give them up for those we do not know. The man or woman who builds up a good character and maintains it for years in the same community deserves some consideration and the friendship of such people is to be preferred at all times to the more showy attentions of strangeExcursion to South BendAug. 2nd, via Indiana, Illinois A lowa It.

The Financial Question. 1 The Mexican silver dollar is worth about 50 cents, the Canadian dollar 75 cents. The American silver dollar un der Republican policy is worth 100 cents. Mishawaka Enterprise. When (he gold bug places hislfl.uOO mortgage on the poor farmer’s homo he always demands absolute proof that it is worth SI,OOO in cash, but, w hen his p<x>r I victim fails to pay the interest, in a year or two, the gold bug’s claim reminds us of that old story, where a farmer sold a butcher a l,<W pound steer at 3 cents per pound; t»ut, when he delivered the steer, he told the butcher to deliver one quarter of it to him. In a day or so he called for a settlement and was astounded when the following bill was presen ted "A. Farmer, dr., to 310 pounds of beef at 10 cents a pound, $31.00; er. by 1,000 pounds of beef at 3 vents a pound, $30.00.” The gold bug gets the farm and always insists that the farmer pay for the foreclosure proceedings. E.x. There are a good many people who honestly feel that this country cannot establish a system of bimetallism with out the co operation of the rest of the world. Just why they should feel that way is difficult to understand. Here are seventy millions of enlightened and pro gressivo people, inhabiting the richest country in the world. A country fertile of soil, abounding in mineral wealth be yond counting, with industry and genius on every hand to push to the limit every line of human enterprise. The soil is capable of producing products enough to feed the world. With mines of iron, coal, copper, lead, building stone, and all other necessary commodities to supply the civilized nations. With manufactur ing interests that reach the uttermost ends of the earth. With all this and a genius for even greater things in the future, is it reasonable to think that such people are not capable of establishing a monetary system that shall win the re sped of other nations? If seventy mill ions of people, versed in the way s of modem civilization, can make no im press on the money systems of the world, in the name of humanity how many millions of people will it take? Plymouth Independent.

One of the queer arguments advanced by some is that this government is large enough to take care of itself and there fore shall not consult any other nation if it desire to do anything. Nothing is a greater error for of a truth there is m> such thing as absolute independence, neither in family, community, state or nation, for we must do business with other people. Take the enormous stock of some great corporation whose bonds are owned abroad, the Pennsylvania rail road for instance. What would be the effect on the vast army of employee of that corporation if it were known abnvid that it repudiated its gold bearing bonds and would only cancel them in 50 rent silver dollars? Foreign stockholders arc already becoming alarmed at a bare pos sibility of repudiation of gold bearing bonds ami should it culminate in action, what sort of a panic would exist among the employes of that corporation or for that matter any other one in a similar plight? This nation owes whatever of greatness it has to its absolute integrity, proving its comjietence and willingnes.--to stand by a covenant and t<> this sturdy probity may be charged our wid spread, honorable, national reputation.

Memory is a little treacherous now and then, and causes one to forget some things worth remembering, unless one has an experience like that which came to Mr. D. E.
