DuDLEY M., SHIVELY will be a candicate for Representative, subject to the will of the St. Joseph c¢ounty republican convention, June 25. State Senator, THAD. M. TALCOTT, Jr., will be a candidate for State Senator, subject to the decision of the Republican county convention. | The LaPorte Argus-Bulletin has changed to 12 pages and is printed on a new Cottrell press. The office has also been moved into larger quarters, and . altogether there seems to be something doing around the Argus-Bulletin establishment. The selection of Secretary Cortelyon as chairman of the national republican committee seems to be giving general satisfaction with the party. He is young and vigorous with excellent judgment and a gcod head for organization. The management of the national campaign will not be likely to suffer in his hands. e—— In the death of Senator Matthew Quay, of Pennsylvania, the republican party has lost one of its notable men., He was one of the shrewdest politicians in the country. While his political career was the subject of much adverse criticism yot he had a domestic and tende side to his character, it is said, that was admirable. C——— A Japanese murderer, condemned “~death, had a dollar left on the eve of hi execution, out of money that had beer g sent him by his friends. The jailer ad vised him to spend it in one last luxuri ~ ious meal. But he sent it to the wa fund. Itis no wonder that the Japanes ~ 7 The Atlanta Journal surprises the pub T e e T | pub.

Moees remained Ee silent in the wilderness for forty years e before taking up the work of leadership.” : Somebody ought to give the Atlanta Journal scholar a course of Bible lessons. But perhaps they use a different Bibie in the South.—lndianapolis Journal, *_,_. John Temple Graves, of the Atlanta (Ga.) News, delivered a speech at the s World’s Press Parliament, St. Louis, that contained some telling points. Among other things this gifted orator-editor said: I believe the great editor will reach his highest development when he lays down all hope of public office. He does not need office to dignify himself. In working for office he can not be fair to ghose to whom he speaks. But as there is one nonoffice seeking politician, there is a thousand who are swerved only for office, It should be outside of the law for an editor to hold public office.” Mr. Graves terribly scored the partisan newspaper. “Narrowness and intolerance is unworthy of so great an institution as the public press,” he said. “It should be fair regardless of personal and partisan moves. 1f this great parliament will have done anything toward remedying these evils it will have done a great and won- : derful thing.” Narrowness and intolerance in the conduct of a newspaper is an evil that cannot be too strongly combatted,— South Bend Times.

Plymouth Chronicle. Mrs. Julius Clonitz committed suicide at Wanatah a few days ago. After the financial failure of her husband, who was a leading financier and banker at Wanatah for many years, her mind gave way but she soon recovered and was not gent to an asylum., After Mr. Conitz had turned everything over to his creditors and had gone West to retrieve his lost fortune Mrs. Cenitz improved, maentally and physically, and she took an active part in helping her husband pay off the remainder due his creditors. They were getting along well when death overtook Mr. Conitz. This last calamity caused a return of the mental troubles which finally terminated in suicide,
