the next Congress. There IS danger in the
air. and the voters should get ont and do
their whole duty as they did two years ago.
South Bend Tribune.
All believers in the gold standard should
unite for the coming campaigns. There
should be no ambiguity, no hint of COM
promise, on the Republican side.-Terre
Haute Express.
The state Republican organization is
made up of the right kind of men and they
are backed by convention expressions of
the right sentiment The party is now
ready to fight over again the battle for the
maintenance of national integrity.--Lafay-
cite Courier.
Some people are determined not to have
good times under a gold standard. Com
mercial reports. bank clearings, increase in
wages ard increasing clouds of smoke from
heretofore idle factories, cut no figure with
them. Poor, MISERABLE pessimistic parti-
sansi-Greensburg Standard.
The magnificent attitude assumed by the
House of Representatives on the currency
question as raised by the Teller resolution
is calling forth the most enthusiastic adj
miration from the business men and sound
money people of the country as well as of
the world at large. The Republican party
mas never assumed a grander attitude than
now All honor and praise to the Repub-
lican members of the House of Representa-
tiveS--Muncie News.
If Governor Mount succeeds in discover
ing and bringing to the bar of justice the
Ripley county lynchers he will have dis
charged his duty to the people and quoted
a reckless press that has accused him of
having weakened in his purpose. 1t is not
certain that he can accomplish their con-
Vlct1on but responsibility for subsequent
acqu1ttal, II such follows, will rest with
some one else than the Governor.-Lafay-
cite Courier.
me republican party, which has stood so
long as the especial champion of the best
money the world ever saw, will meet all the
forces of free silver and other debased cur
lency, and, as was the case two years ago,
tney VIII rout them horse, foot and dra-
goons, and destroy them from the face of
the earth. 1t needs just one more cam

sue TO make final determination of that
foul heresy. 1t will be so thoroughly buried
by the voters that it's resurrection will
never be thought of-Laporte Republican.
The great problem that the people of the
United States will have to settle soon is the
question of currency reform. The vacil-
lating policy of the two great lawmaking
bodies, the United States Senate and the
House of Representatives, upon this most
important question in recent years, is
cause Tor alarm and affords sufficient rea-
sen Tor the popular demand of the people
Tor currency reform. The agita ton for
some reforms in our system of finance that
mas been going on in the past year means
mat the issue cannot be dodged.-Marion
News.
Let not Congress or the American people
be deceived. This danger from the endless
chain movement is not necessarily a thing
of the past Unfavorable conditions Of
trade reinforced by renewal of the free
silver agitation together with unfavorable
trade balances abroad, SQight easily bring
the country again into the mire and CLAY

congressman are paid to legisate for the
good of the country and not to put in the
time seeking denomination and reelection
Many a congressman could do his country
better service by attending strictly to bust
ness while he is there, voting for sound
money and a definite and needed modifica-
tion OF our financial system than he can
py coming home to fix his fences for an
other term. good vote now on these
questions may be worth far more to the
country than reelection. BY all means let
the congressman from Indiana feel that
their first duty is in Congress, and that
duty well done will be better work for re-
election than any wire-pulling he can do at
hOme--Elkhart Review.
