RECoMMENpRp b. a REPUBLICAN.

RECOMMENDED BY a REPUBLICAN.
General John B Gordon, of Georgia, is ad-
vsnced by the New York Times for a place
in President Clevelands Cabinet. The
Times quotes an Eastern Republican as say
ing be wondered that man 30 estimable so
competent and 50 consistently progressive
from the day he surrendered as soldier of
the Confederacy, was not brought forward
by the leading Southern men who could
command the attention of Mr.. Cleveland.
John B. Gordon, next to Robert E. Lee
and "Stonewal" Jackson, was the most sd-
mired By the South of all the Confederate
Generals. He was, also. one of the most re.
spected by the Federal soldiery. His meth.
DDS of warfare were entirely legitimate-very
different from those Of the guerralls Mosby
and Chalmers, of Mississippi, both OF whom
have been 80 warmly welcomed as patriots
by the Republican party. Since the
war Gordon has made no small
contributions toward securing cor
rect understanding, one of the other, be-
tween the sections. While always demon.
strating earnest affection for the South, he
has been liberalizing factor within it. at
home he has inculcated forgetfulness OF the
strife in which he was 80 conspicuous a
figure, loyalty 10 our National flag and good
will toward the North. Attic North, where
business and social connections have caused
him to spend much of his time, he has plead
for the dropping of sectional animosity and
sought to transfer Northern energy and
capital into the great resources of the South.
a hearty, brainy, manly, eloquent fellow,
he has made host OF friends among lead
ing Republicans and Democrats, aud it
is doubtful if there is one Senator with
whom he served who would not look With
approval upon the recognition of him by
the Democratic administration.

A DEAD DEMAGoaIcAL DECKER

When Mr.. Eli J. Ritter, answering a ques-
lion two weeks since remarked, ''the Pro-
hibitionists expect from the Democratic Just
what they would have expected from q Re-.
publican egislature-nothing," he uttered,
Intentionally or unintentionally, a scathing
denunciation OF Republican pretenses in
the late campaign. The plank in the State
Republican platform iavoring the calling OF
Constitutional Convention was ''sop
thrown to Cerberus." The Republicans
dared not put in a prohibition plank, but
with numerous oggles and winks at the
Prohibitionists, of whom they were NOR.
tally afraid, inserted the other. They had
no more intention of allowing prohibition to
ride into an amended Constitution than of
washing and ironing the "bioody shirt" 1t
was cheap trick Of demsgogy which the
Prohibitionists were not slow to detect, and
so were not caught by it.
The representatives of the people echoed
the popular voice as il spoke on the 4th OF
November when they voted down the pro-
position 20 hold Constitutional Conven-
ton. That question was direct issue in
the campaign of 1884. One party opposed
the other advocated the convention. The
party opposing it was preferred at the polls
by decisive majority. Along with Messrs
Blaine, Calkins and the bloody shirt went
down the proposition for the convention.
The Prohibitionists did not care for it if it
was to be holden under Republican auspices.
With the Republicans the movement was
only demsgogical dicker, which deserved
to die.

The Bee Keepers.

There was full attendance at the second
and last day 'ssession of the Indiana Bee Keep
ers' Association. A very interesting paper was
read yesterday morning by T. T. Nirder, of
Purdue College, on the "Bee Sting" He al
SO exhibited drawings of the various parts OF
the bee to illustrate his remarks. Professor
Troop, of Purdue, also spoke on the subject
at great length, referring particularly to the
sting in the queen bee. Mrs. Lucinda Har-
rison, of Peoria. then read paper on "Work
for WOmen,' in which she discussed matters
pertaining to bee culture. The association
then discussed several important subjects
among others that Of spring feeding. The
impression prevailed that spring feeding
was harmful unless judiciously attended to.
J. o. Cotton, Z. l.. Dougherty, Mrs. Z. Stout
and David Leming were then appointed del
egates to the National Bee Keep
sers Meeting. to be held in
New Orleans. February "a. A box of al.
legged honey purchased In this city was then
passed around, and everybody who was IN
fortunate enough to be persuaded to taste
the same condemned it in round terms.
In the afternoon Governor Gray addressed
the meeting on the subject of the adulteration
OF honey, and said he was of the opinion
that stringent laws should be passed compel
ling persons who deal in adulterated goods
to brand the same, so that consumers would
know what they were buying. In conclu.
SION the Governor complimented the associ-
alton in the highest terms because of the
work it was doing.
The association received an invitation to
attend meeting of the bee.keepers of Hen
bricks and Boone Counties, on June Is, after
which they adjourned. The association will
rect IN this city one year hence.
