FOR DISTRICT DELEGATE Thji last National Republican Con vention decided very wisely that hereafter each Congressional . district should be allowed to appoint its own National delegates, in its own way. ., On April 10th our District Convention meets in Martinsville for the purpose of appointing two delegates to the National Convention, which meets in Chicago in

Jane. We should see to it that we send men of sonoe mental and political altitude, who can look above selfish ends and party tricks who can goto this great national conference o Republicans with only patriotic motives, uniastrncted, unpledged astd unboughk One of the most fit possible selections would be Prof, Amzi Atwater of the State University, and, without his solicitation or knowledge, we nominate him as a delegate to the National Convention from the Fifth Indiana District.

The Courter last week makes the

following remarkable announcement:

"The McKinney mess is purely a

nepuoiican anair, ana tne democratic convention very properly kept

meir nanus outot it." If the "McKinney mess" is purely a Republican affair, and it was proper for the Democratic convention to "keep their hands out of it,!'it must be very improper for the Courier, the Democratic organ, to be publishing week after week one column after another concerning this same - "McKinney mess," that Bro. Feltus now informs us Democrats have nothing to do with. The Demo-

r cratic convention with Friend Feltus is like the old woman wh prayi ed for rain, and when a hail-storm come and destroyed her garden, though she had over done the thing.

Tub Democrats of Green county, at their recent convention instructed for Major General Andy Humphreys for Cougress the same Humphreys who, during the war, was sentenced to be hanged for treason, whose life was saved by Gov. Morton, and who wa? paroled and confined to his township. Loud shouts for Jeff. Davis were frequently heard on the streets the same day. The convention instructed in a verbose resolution, commending the gallant general for all virtues in the calendar, declaring that for "thirty five years he has always been at the front in every contest for Democratic principles.5 So he was at the front contending for Democratic principles when he was a leader in the Knights of the Golden Circle, plotting treason and conspiracyThat is a frank admission.

In a letter to the Indianapolis Journal, Dr. Lemuel Moss, president of Indiana University, thus writes of Newspapers in public schools and colleges: "The Journal has occasionally

an experiment which I have

several times tried in the Indiana University, with the senior class, in the last three or four years. The daily newspaper is a cross section of the world's history, and shows us the state of affairs, at a given date, throughout human society. To change the figure, it is a picture of the world each day by instantaneous photography. But to give the highest benefit the newspaper should be read intelligently. The telegram from England or Egypt from Germany or Mexico, giving a political or military fact, an item of biography, or literature, or trade, or art, or discovery often needs explanation by reference to the social or political condition of the country or to some antecedent fact or history. It is well worth while, therefore, that our students should be taught how to read the newspapers, or to understand the full signifiance of what they read. What is thus true of the daily journals is equally or more strikingly true of the special literary and professional periodicals. My custom has been, during one or more

Indianapolis Times: We have been requested by several leading Republicans of the Fifth Congressional District to suggest the name of Hon. Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus, as a suitable person to represent that district in the National Republican Convention at Chicago. We do not believe there is a single Republican in the Fifth District but who will say that Mr. Irwin is made of the proper material to represent the Republican party anywhere.
