"THE BOY FROM COLLEGE." Within the next six weeks the colleges of Indiana will probably turn out two hundred graduates, with the always following benediction to go out into the world as examples in whatever profession or trade they choose to follow. No doubt during their college
course of six years they have been
told that they are soon to take the
place of their old fathers and
Wilson the second; the same in Van Buren and Washington; while in Perry, Buskirk was first and Wilson second. So it will be seen that the
Republican party, had we not better stay and assert our rights as to the policy of the party? Nothing is clearer than the fact that the

Wilson's nomination depended on Monroe county, on and after the first ballot he would have obtained it. But the objectional part of ail this is that such outrageous bargains and tricks in politics should be indulged in when a judicial office is at

uThe lesson wc learned last election sliould cause our county democracy to think earnestly about the best plan to persue in conducting the campaign. It is eav to charge a convention with being packed with corruption, fraud and unfairness. It is very easy to bring men so disposed to believe that there is such a thing as "rings," 4 'town cliques" and "precinct bossisin." (Courier. Instead of calling to task "our country Democracy," it would be mnch more fair in the Courier and a good deal more just, to call a halt to "our town Democracy," It would not be so easy for the country Democrats to charge a convention with being packed "with corruption, fraud and unfairness," it the town "ring," (of which the Courier is an humble servant) vould not meet three days in advance of these same conventions, and decide on who shall be its chairman, and who shall and shall-not be members of the Central Committee, as was the case before the last convention. It is an open secret that H. J. Feltus, Jokn McGee, K. W. Miers, John Buskirk and.C. "R. Worrall met at JVIcGee's office three days before the last convention and selected their-rhoii-man and vho then wanted to

The TelephoShs beleives it speaks the sentiment of to thirds of "our country Democracy," as the Courier chooses to call them, when it says that they are very much disposed "to believe that there is such a thing as "rings" and "town cliques' The way "our country Democracy" has taken hold of things within the last month proves that they not only are "di sposed to believe," but they know it; and they also knew that they

valuable in the great race that is before them. Any how the college graduate will find that experience is a mighty helpmate when the tricks that make trades and professions successful, arc resorted to by those who have been raised to their calling, whatever that may be. No book teaches human nature like the one of experience, and no one can succeed in any profession without this knowledge. No instruction teaches farming like farming itself; and so it is with all cur persuits. The young man who must take his position side by side of older ones must train himself well to grapple with his work before he can compete, or failure is sure to follow. So it is that no matter how high our education, or how thorough in the various courses of study, unless attention has been gi"en to what
we intend to make life's work, it can avail little. The nomination for Judge on the Democratic ticket of Hon. John W. Buskirk, at the coming judicial convention was made sure by Martin county instructing for him last Sat urday; and though the Telephone has naught to say against Mr. Buskirk as to his ability or as a private citizen, yet we see no reason why the right kind of a Republican, if nominated, can not be elected. This judicial district is composed of
counties that the vote in the aggra-
gate give a Republican majority. In the Democratic ranks there has
been a very bitter contest tha by
chicanery and trickery has over coioe the sentiment of the people in defeating Judge Wilson, and placed Mr. Buskirk up for the candidate. The triumph has been the result of "ring" politics, of which the late "bargain and sale" of delegates in Monroe county was only a sample, where the will of the people was unheeded and the delegates divided betweep two candidates. That" this is a facjt, it is only neeessary to refer to the result of four township
onvnUons where the votes of
Democrats completely denounced it.
In Salt (Creek, instead of instructing for Miers and Buskirk alike, Miers
received the first instruction and
1 . -r t w i .1
last tjmy 1 was away irom tne in
stitution, and the dispatch which in
formed me of the burning of the university reached me at Rochester, N. Y. Sly first anxiety was lest the discussion of a proposed location of the institution should become sogeneral and prolonged as to delay all preparation for rebuilding. I foresaw that we must necessarily encounter that difficulty if we Avaited. for an appropriation by the next Legislature, and that in the meantime the uncertaint)r and inconvenience would demoralize every department of the university. I was therefore anxious that prompt measures-should, be taken to rebuild, and-urged-this quite strongly upon the citizens and authorities of Bloom ington. We had 20,000 of insur am, and that was all the university had at their disposal without going to the State Legislature. The people of Bloomington, however, saw the-importance of settling the question-of location by zaaking provision for the erection of new buildings,
and accordingly induced the County
Commissioners to donate $59,000., and: a new and eniurged campus of twenty acres wa& also provided.
Our contract calls ior the completionof the buildings by the st of
December,, so that when the Legis
lature meets the situation will be that buildings costing 70,CO0 will have been erected in place of. thosedestroyed by lira, and a greatly i mi-
proved campus provided without the State being called upon foea singledollar. And I think we shall also
be able to show that the institution
has not suffered materially, as there are within twenty of as raany students enrolled this year as; last; and. a more harmonious and pleasant year I have not experienced since my connection with the institution;.." Rev. J. E. Braxt contributes the following interesting article to the Indianapolis Journal, that is of special importance. "The children of this world are, in their generation, wiser than the children of light. and the liquor men are no exception to the rule. They do not propose to organize a party to champion their intrest, but use their power in both parties to subserve their cause. Let prohibitionists be equally wise. One fact that is clear since the Ohio elections is this: that two thirds if not three-forths of the Republican party, and about one-third of the Democratic party are for prohibition. Now, as a life long Republican and prohibitionist, I submit this question: Is it the best policy to divide in the house of our friends? Since we are in the majority in the

But you say keep this question out
oi politics. How are you to do it when candidates lug it in the wrong way. No, the question is in politics, where the salooni&fcs took it, and there it will stay; and it is cerain the Democratic party will take "old Kumptuaiy" and the well-regulated license theory of it For the Republican party to standi for high license would put them on the side of the worst kind of monopoly. To ignore the question would be cowardly; and the American people hate cowards. To stand ii with the Democratic party foar the saloon vote means defeat. So the only faianly route, as we see it is to take the straight route to prohibition by the way of submission to a vote of the people. This wiU require from four to six years, and. in the meantime we propose to stay with the old partv as a "fanatic,"
not fossil, and tight it out on this line all the .summer at least In the meantime let the prohibitum Republicans quit nominating and. voting for men who stand in with saloons. This crime of the age must come down from high places,
and since he laughs at us when we throw tufts of grass we propose to throw stones, and from such a position that we think will be most effective. -f -H '"If the township elections in Indiana are reliable imiieations, the St:cte is Democratie by over 18,000. A majority of the rru.stee in the State are Democratic, and by a very handsome majority too. In (" counties there is a gain of 02 trustee. Courser, The above is just as true as the item that the Democrats only Ibst one Trustee in this county. The fact is, in the last election in the State it is an open secret that the Republicans gained fifty-three trustees and carried the State by a good majority.
