A GREAT OFFER
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home of every Repub-
ican in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for % cents
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is a complete family
newspaper 1t is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers 1t
is compendium of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political social
Hnd general; it has the news of the State
and of the city. Its literary and miscellane-
GUS features are of the best
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is a newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
it should not be- at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry
in whatever revision of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the Journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.

Obstacles Which Stand in the Way of a
Speedy Close of the Session.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON June M.-Those who are san
guine tnat Congress will adjourn within the
next ten days or two weeks should not forget
that in spite of the apparently favorable
aspect of the House to-day, there are still q
great many obstacles to adjournment between
the House and Senate 1t is a fact that the
principal appropriation bills have been amended
in the Senate to such radical extent as to place
the House in the aspect of either sub
hitting TO the will of the upper body
or going back upon its professions of
independence. The only other alternative will
be to adjourn without passing the appropriation
bills, which would make an extra session neces
sary. The danger of such a proceeding is too
apparent to secure an adherent, and it may be
taken for granted that the appropriation bills
will be passed before Congress adjourns if it
takes all summer. Both parties in each house.
however, are anxious to get away. The extreme
heat of the past few days has convinced all that
Washington is too sultry, and it may be that
personal preferences in the way of legislation
will be set aside for the sake of getting home.

WASHINGTON June 24.-Consternation struck
the ranks of the Cleveland Democrats here, this
morning, when it was learned that the New York
Sun had published a lengthy editorial showing
why Cleveland would be weak candidate, and
could not carry New York. and another long
editorial giving many reasons why Randall
should be the candidate. 1t is the same policy
mapped out by John Kelly's New York Star
yesterday, and proves conclusively that Dana,
Tammany and Tlden have combined against
Cleveland, and may work for Randall at Chicago.
Mr.. Randall intimated to a friend, tonight, that
he knew this was coming week ago and that
Cleveland could not be nominated or, if nomi-
mated, could not carry New York. Cleveland's
friends complain at Randalls course in con-
stantly keeping before the country the name of
Tilden, who is his bosom friend They say it
is cut-and-dried affair." and they will not ac-
cept it, all of which augurs row at the conven-
ton in July The name of Morrison, of hori-
zontal-tariff fame, is coupled with Randall for
second place

and consequently such wealth of counsel to draw
upon cannot fail in proper discharge of the duties
committed to him. tender you my thanks Mr.
Chairman for the kind expressions you have made
and offer you and your fellow-commtteemen my
most cordial greeting.
When General Logan had concluded the chair
man stepped forward and shook him by the hand
as did the other members of the committee and
mutual congratulations were exchanged Mrs

SUICIDE OF J. W. BURNHAM
The Junior Partner of HOtchkiss, Burnham
& Co., Takes His Own Life.

New YORK, June 24-Joseph W. Burnham
committed suicide this morning in Yonkers He
was the junior member of the firm of Hotchkiss,
Durham & Co., who suspended payment Just
before the Stock Exchange closed on the day
the Metropolitan Bank closed its doors. He
formerly lived at the Windsor Hotel, New York,
but on the LIST of June he moved to Yonkers
and took up his abode with his brothern-law
P. w KEENAN,. Mr. KEENAN, said to a
reporter; 'Mr. Durham has not been
in his right mind since the firm failed, but he
has not beeu so irrational that he could not
visit his Office from, day to day. Last week on
Friday, his partner Horace l.. Hotchkiss, VINO
has been more fortunate in speculations since
the failure than Burnham, told him he was
going into the country for q few months. This
seemed to affect Durham greatly. He said to
to me that he did not know what he would do
now. His partner left him alone in
his trouble. After supper he and [ sat
on the piazza talking, but his con
versation was rambling that I finally
told him he had better go to bed; he did so at
1890 o'clock. His wife did not notice anything
special during the night, but this morning. when
he awoke, shortly before o'clock, he took her
face between his hands and kissed her over and
over again. She went into the bath room to get
pitcher of water for him, and when she re-
turned he was on his knees in
prayer at the side of the bed Her mother
called her into the next room. and while she
was there she heard pistol shot. She ran back
into the room, where Burnham lay on the floor
by the bedside, with a revolver in his hand. He
never spoke nor recovered consciousness, though
he lived about twenty minutes. Burnham was
an old-time telegraph operator. At the begin
ming of the recent strike of operators he came
to the assistance of the Western Union, and took
off his coat and sat down at an instrument dur
ing three nights.
