Those Introductory Sets of the New
Americanized Edition of the
Encyclopedias Britannica
Can't aa Inn0

In a very few days the two hundred intro
ductory sets or the new encyclopedias wnich
the Western Newspaper syndicate IS OTIS,
tributing win have been exhausted, anu
the splendid volumes sent on their mission
OF enlightenment throughout the length anu
breadth of the land.
1t was a liberal and sagacious move on
the part Of the syndicate to thus place a
large number of sets in cultured Indiana
homes, in order that the work might De
compared with other aedias.
Seeing is believing" and there is notn,
ing like ocular proof when ii is desired
to demonstrate the superiority OF one pook
over another. and this principle was also
applied in opening syndicate headquarters
at IL West Washington street. where the
volumes could be inspected at leisure.
The place has been thronged each day py
those who were DESTROYS of securing the
work at the exceptionally low price and on
the extremely easy terms of payment ar
ranged for the two hundred ~introductory
sets.
But after these are gone the regular sub
scription price of the work will prevail,
which will make its possession consider
ably more difficult, especially for people OF
moderate means.
1t is stated that by Thursday 0o-mor-
row. at latest the two hundred Introductory
sets will nave been claimed. and the dis
tributfon of the work, except by subscrip-
ton, will be closed. :.
Readers will, therefore, 'have 10 hurry
in order to a advantage of the existing
opportunity, which is surely unusually ia
vorable, and not likely to be again pre-
scented.

PRoHIBITIoNisTs COMING.
Will Hold Their State Convention
Here Next Wednesday, and Th~ursdaN.

The Prohibitionists will meet here next
Wednesday and Thursday for the purpose
of doing all that several conventions will
do for other parties. A State ticket will be
selected, also delegates to the national con-
~veation, which meets in Pittsburg May q,
and electors for the State. The meetings
will be held in Masonic Hall unless it is
found that it will require more room, in
which case Tomlinson Hall will be secured.
There are two factions of the ~party-one
wanting that the convention jump into poll
tics and adopt a platform covering all
questions, while the other wants the plat
form to be confined to a prohibition plank.
They are called the broad gauge" and
narrow gauge" factions. Each one will
have eminent speakers here to discuss their
side of the question. John G.. Woolley will
come from New York to take the side of
the prohibition and prohibition only faction,
while John p. st. John, OF Kansas. former
~ candidate for President. will argue that
the platform should take sides on all ques-
tons of national and State Importance.

FIGHTING FOR SILVER
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE HAS 4
HARD NUT To CRACK.
Siivcrites Becoming More
and working to Postpone
ment of Convention

There is still. much speculation among
politicians as TO what will be the outcome
of the fights between the silver and sound
money Democrats for supremacy. While a
refusal TO change the date of the conven-
ton from that already fixed might not
mean a victory for either side, the silver
men will claim Ii as a positive victory.
brought about by their threats to hold a
convention on the date already named. re-
gardless of the action of the State commit
tee. William Everroad. of Columbus. a
young man. but a strong advocate of sill
yer, has sent a letter TO many prominent
Democrats of the State. calling on them
to use their influence to prevent a post
ponement of the convention. Among other
things, he says:
'In my Judgment it is a move which. if
persisted in. will destroy all hope we may
have of carrying Indiana this year. This
is a presidential year; III Indiana goes
Democratic it will be because she Endorses
rhe Democratic national platform, and not
upon any local question. Indiana Is now
before the American people: Before the
national party shall have declared upon
this matter, Indiana, together with every
other State i'm the Union, must have been
heard. There is no other way OF convinc-
ing the people that their appeal had been
heard and lost Should the platform be a
UecldrdtlOn III IdVOf OF Il QOuDlt StdnudTu,
the gold monometallists would declare that
If Indiana had been properly heard in the
national convention the result would have
been different. The same would be true
should the national convention declare for
a gold standard. But IL we permit the
gold and silver men to be heard, If we hon
estly discuss the question, accept the de-
clared result as evidenced by a vote in con-
~vention, then we are in position TO urge
upo the defeated faction that they had
had their day I'm court, and that it is
Democratic for the majority to rule"
The fact that the silver men have shown
their strength in so many instances In the
Democratic meetings this year is causing
the sound-money men. who are now in con-
troll so far as Ii appears on the face of the
party's action, much worry. At the annual
conference. held here I'm January, the silver
men almost stampeded the meeting; and
finally showed that they had a majority.
They were true to their word, however,
and did not adopt any resolution on the
question on account OF an agreement, made
by the tacit acceptance of their threat that
they would introduce a silver resolution If
any on other subjects were introduced.
This and other things show the committee
that it will have a hard nut to crack at
It's meeting tomorrow. If a proposition is
made TO change the date of the convention.
