INDIANA GOES FOR SILVER.
The Gold Men Get Nothing Out of the Con
vention-A Free Silver Governor.

indianapolis, Ind, June 24.-The
Democratic State convention was the
largest ever he'd in the State.
The barty primaries and the conven-
eion preliminares had been prolific Of
contests and contentious. The silver
sent -ment had developed rapidly and
the advocates of free coinage had with
comparative ease captured a controll-
ing interest in the c0nyentinn. But
tie = Id standard Democracy in mirror
ity and caught mapping, walked TO a Wig
orous resistance. Of the LAP dele
gates. the silver men, at first comp.a-
cent in a two-thirds majority found
the minority so vigorous that they de-
term.ned TO use their power merciless!y
and the only advantage claimed by the
gold men at the opening of the conven-
zion was due to circumstances which
the silver men overlooked or could not
control.
The silver men captured everything,
instructing their Chicago delegates To
stand through thick and thin by the
most extreme silver deliverance and the
nomination of Claude Matthews TO the
Presidency. The candidate for Cover
nor, Mr.. Shively, appeared after he
had been declared the nominee and
made a vigorous, enthusiastic speech,
giving special attention TO the endorse
ment of the silver plank.
The delegates at large are Daniel
Voorhees,, Tere Haute; David Turpie,
indianapolis; James B. McCabe, Will
Transport, G. V. Menzies, Mt. Vernon.

HOW TO TREAT A WIFE.

First get a wife; second. be patient.
You may have great trials and perplsxi-
ties in your business. but do not, therefore.
carry to your home cloudy or contracted
brow. Your wife may have trials, which.
though of less magnitude. may be hard for
her 70 bear. A kind word. a tender look.
will do wonders in chasing from her brow
all clouds of gloom.-To this we would add
always keep a bottle Of Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the best
and is sure TO be needed sooner or later.
Your wife will then know that you really
care for her and wish 10 protect her health.

WHAT WILL PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND Dor
Evening Wisconsin, !,

There is much speculation in Wnsh-
inYton about what President Cleve.
land will dc respecting the concur
rent cuban recognition resolutions
which have. passed beth houses OF Con- I
gress. He is at liberty to do nothing,
but ii. view Of tlse enormous ma1OEi-
ties in both houses he may feel ne
cessity for decisive action ON his part.
The consensus Of opinion at Washing
ton is that he is opposed to immedi-
ate recognition by presidential proc
lamation. He prefers to wait until
Spain's irritation more positively dies
out.
What adds to his embarrassment iS>
that it il understood that he has fore
stalled the action OF congress and has
indirectly offered the good offices OF
our government to iaterpose between
Spain and Cuba in order to secaare an-
tonosny or Independence for the is
land. But the Spanish government SO
haughtily and so sharply resented any
interference between Spain aud her
colouies that the President has come
to the conclusion that Spain is rs sore
as Il maddened bull aud that she
would reject any new offer with scorn
and defiance. The Spanish character
is Al bad one to deal with as it Is u
compound of jealousies, enmities and
swollen pride The President does
not want war nor to provoke q war
with Spain. and when Spain Is so
very like maddened bull il is difficult
to know how to advance.
The Spanish government treated
our republic UNANIMOUSLY in 1861 when
it acknowledged the belligerency Of
the Confederate states before q single
battle had been fought. But she shell
tiers herself behind the action OF En-
gland and France. and to her it did
not seem unfair to act towards the
United States us England and France
had previously done. But az the bell
ligerencv of the Cubans will be nc
knowedged only by the United States
it seems to the Spaniards that the ac-
ton of our country is particularly of
fensiye, and therefore is to he sharply
resented.

WHAT A HOME
STEAD MEANS.

The following is communica-
ton published in the Prentice Cal
umet, Price county. 1t may prove
of advantage to men who are seek
ING an independent livelihood:
Editor Calumet:--Now it was
1886 and 1887 that most of the
homesteaders made settlements in
the south Of our county. Since that
time they have all proved up. Now
when they made their filings, lots
of them borrowed the money to pay
for it. After five years these men
come into the clerk Of courts office
and make final proof. Let us see
what they make final proof on after
making a living for their family dur
ing the five years. They state:
House, worth 700 barn, 400; Gel
lar, 800; root house s72; we'll 1925
fifteen acre clearing, $500; total of
about $4,000. What did he have
when he started? Why, he borrow
ed $40 to file on this same tract of
land, on which proof was made, five
wears before that.
Now, how is it that a man has
cot all of these improvements, and
we know that they are in most every
case paid for? Show me- any bust
ness that man can borrow $50 and
in five wears make it show in i'm
proyements value Of $4,000. This
does not include the $50 acres OF
land that has been getting more val
liable, in fact the land the day he
proved up, if you ask him, without
improvements, would be worth
from 600 to $1,000, that cost him
twenty dollars five years before.
He has on that investment OF TWEEN
ty dollars lived off that homestead,
raised large family and accumula-
ted oxen, cows and horses. This is
fair illustration of just what was
done here in Price county. There
are nine out of ten of those settlers
that came at that time, to-day ask
from $1,000 to $4,000 for their home.
Do you know any business man
that can take $50 and during a run
of five wears, have to show for It's
investment, property all paid for;
worth $4,000, besides furnishing a
good living for their family and
money to clothe them with? The
man that workep at days labor dur
ing that time is not worth a dollar,

was estimated at all the way from $50
to 400 hut no person expected to see it
go higher than it was last year The
total vote last year was 444 and Tues
day it ran up to 4G7 but of this num-

wanted to help their candidates out,
had each voted two tickets folded
tightly together which had to be
thro VII ont, leaving the total vote at
464 There was only two contests on
the ticket, the chairman and one SUI

close and the crowd stood around

The election was the most orderly
and quiet of any held in this city for
some years. There was but few
DRINKS and no fights and the only
thing that seemed to livcn up the
crowd was the frequent challenges OF
alleged illegal voters.
The merits and dement's of the
men elected, have been rehearsed time
and time again and we don't think it
necessaryat this time, to go over
them again Their acts during the
coming year will show whether we
