Instead of establishing anti-divorce leagues
it would be more profitable and effective to
open cooking schools, where the culinary
art in all its branches could be taught to the
rising female generation as music and fancy
work are now.
The Republican Party Will stand Its Ground.
Peru Republican
In the Southern States, at least In some
communities in the South, the emancipated
race may yet need the special protection of
the national government. If SO, a short
time will determine and the Republican
party may be relied upon to furnish what
ever security is demanded. Its mission is
mot ended so long as any race or class of citi-
Zens is denied exact justice and equal rights
under the constitution.
Put All Pensioned Soldiers on an Equality.
Kokomo Dispatch (Dem).
Let the manned and crippled ex-soldiers be
pensioned according to their actual disabli-
Ties. There is no good reason why colonel
who has lost finger, which does not in the
least incapactate him from earning a living
should receive from four to ten times as
much as the private who is so distorted by
acute rheumatism. as to be unable TO fight
the battle OF life
A Little More Power Needed.
Franklin Jeffersonian.
We wouldn't give picayune for govern
ment that has no power to interfere to pro-
tect the rights OF her citizens. Our native
born citizen is not secure in person and prop
lerty, and it would seem that the govern
ment has no power to make him secure. A
little more Capitalization is evidently needed,
and the constitution should be amended at
once.
The Record of the Democratic Party.
Iaporte Herald and Chronicle.
Z ka,Nt itSo1f in rowar for vaorc bv cal1ipo,
itself to the slave oligarchy, 1t sold itself
whenever it could to the Greenbackers. 1t
is owned to-day, body and soul by the liquor
manufacturers and liquor sellers of the
country. 1t is q negative party. 1t is de-
void of principle. 1t is not in favor of any
thing except the spoils OF office.
Sensible Prohibitionist.
Albion New Era.
AS prohibitionst we believe, and have
always advocated that prohibition should
not be made political issue, as we could see
nothing to be gained to the cause by making
1t such. This has been fully verified in the
recent election in Ohio, where the State is
again in the hands of the deadliest enemy
prohibition has ever had.
Lionizing the Criminal Glasses.
Richmond Independent
Humiliating as it may be, it is no less the
tdCI Lu1I Iuc oy VI GuS WOTlQ goes CUT
TO healthy Williams who crowd the jails and
penitentiaries. and therefore the stock is ex-
hausted before it gets around to the feeble
and innocent. A man seems to have no
share in the philan thropist's interest unless
he commits a crime.
Captain wirz aud His Southern Defenders
Michigan City Dispatch tDem.)
Captain Wirz should have suffered the
pangs of thousand deaths, if such thing
were possible, and the silly utterances of a
few brainless jackasses who happen to reside
south of the Ohio river it seems is sufficient
10 make Northern Republican editors make
themselves ridiculously unfair and dishonest
in their criticisms.
The Republican Party Proud of It's Record.
Tcrre Haute Daily Courier.
The Republican party is proud of its mag
nificent results thus far. 1t has made mis-
takes, of course. 1t is not blind to its faults
But it knows that with all its failings and
errors, it has given the country for many
years wiser and better government than
any other the world has yet seen, here or
anywhere else.
Republicans Think for Themselves.
indianapolis Republican
Republican leaders have good many les
sons to learn some of them emphasized by
results of the recent elections. The Ameri-
md wears the blinkers only as long as they
iuit his intelligence. The Republican party
IS made up OF men who think largely for
themselves.
The Dangerous Non-voting Glass.
huntington Herald.
The dangerous class in this country is that
one which does not take sufficient interest in
the control of our nation to go to the polls
on election day and deposit a ballot Our
government rests upon the voice of the peo-
pie, and it will be sad day when it is left to
the control of any few intriguers and de-
signers.
How Prohibition Can Be Brought About.
Bourbon Mirror.
Whenever the Prohbitionists can guaran-
tee six votes from the opposition to every
saoon-keeper's three, then will the cause
triumph They must not be afraid to get
down and work for the success of the meas
ure, like the leaders of political parties, and
not until they do so can they hope for success
The Republican Party Not Dead.
Wabash Courier (Dem.)
The Republican party is not dead, not very
sick, or even sleeping soundly The Democ-
lracy must not think that they have already
elected their President because they have
carried Ohio. That battle is to be fought
next year, and depend upon it, it will be
e-in-the-last-ditch sort of an engagement,
Organize for Law and Order.
Lafayette journal.
Law and order leagues should be formed in
every community to see that the laws are.
properly enforced, and that the authorities
