Mr.. Isaac B. Coplin, who has beer
ION the wing" considerably of late
thinks the corn crop in LaPorte count,
will be good average; but IN Porter anC

to the drought. --LaPorte Herald.

August 10Th, says; "a man by the name
of Jasper Anacher, living near Walton.

another one of his daughters, about two
years old, and penetrated her head five
inches, killing her. Anacher was arrest

The store off. p. Nesbitt, Rolling
Priirie, was robbed Tuesday night The
thieves effected their entrance by way of
the cellar. They took two suits of cloth
ing, bolt and half OF alpaca, and scvc-
raj articles of fine cutlery, such as rcn
knives, etc.,-all of the prooa Die value of
$3.50 or more. They left one OF their
dark lanterns behind. which was taken
charge of by officer LinarJ. No satisfac

The recent exhibits made in this ma
per touching the Comparative rates of
local taxation In the Democratic and Re
puDiicon counties of this State, showing
UNIFORM excess of taxation in the iur
mer,l Leads the Cincinnati Gazette to remark
that the same rule Is found 10 work i'm
that State. Such remarkable coinci-
aence In two great States cannot be the
result of chance. 1t shows that there is
natural tendency In the Democratic par.
ty to extravaganza and misrule, and that
their fine talk economy, retrenchmenf
and reform is mere sound and nothing
more. 1t requires both intelligence and
honesty to administer government sue
cessfully, and experience shows that these
plants do not flourish luxuriantly in Dem
ocratic soil.-Indianapoiis Journal.
The right of the farmers in this coun-
to to select candidates tor office, ought
not to be questioned. If they are dissat-
lsfied with the political parties as they
have heretofore existed, they have an I'M
doubted right o.form new party, or if
they choose they may assist either of the
existing parties to put down the other, if
they think the needed reform can be ef
Iected in that way. A little more than
one year ago some of the leading citizens
Of Plymouth, the editor of the Democrat
was one of the number, wanted to estab-
lish city government, and to begin with,
hey selected men from both political
parties to fill the Offices, taking care to
reserve the balance of power in the hands
Of Democrats There was but the one
ticket presented, which was cheerfully
by both parties. Nobody
thought there was anything like suicide
in that.
