that Mr.. Wagner speaks as classic
American as editor Heuring-ever
if he does not object so strenuously
to an occasional glass Of beer, --anc

Sunday School Convention.

The County Sunday School con-
vention at Trinity church last Sat
urday and Sunday, was rather
SHINY attended. 1t was called to
order Saturday night by Rev. Geb-
auer, state president, the county
president not arriving until Sunday
afternoon. The only schools with
representatives present were those
of Jasper, Huntingburg and Ire
land. Quite large delegation
came over from Huntingburg sun
day morning, and half dozen from
Ireland Sunday afternoon. The
program was an advertising pamph-
let-but not being generally distrlb-
uted did the advertisers in It no
good. 1t was not printed until TIE
day the convention began. The
program itself would have made an
interesting convention had it been
fully carried out. The addresses
of Rev. Gebauer and Rev. Maui
were to the point, and the papers
read were all very creditable. The
following officers were chosen foi
next year:

LOOK OuT.-The Lawrenceburg
Register cautions the public to be
on the outlook for a gang OF thieves
and gamblers with the show that
visits Jasper next Tuesday. The
Register correspondent says that i
is the worst gang that ever struck
Aurora. Such characters are US
ually found with all big crowds, but
the advance agent who was here
claimed that they were not permit
ted with the Sells e. Gray show.
But all citizens will be safe in being
on their guard--showing no extra
money publicly--putting all valua'
bles in safe place-listening to nc
fairy tales--and having promptly
arrested all persons who violate the
law. The Sheriff and Marshal will
each have deputies sufficient to pre-.
serve order and enforce respect fol
the law.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The convention met Wednes day,
and was soon organized, as all the
preliminaries had been fixed the
night before. Hon. Samuel NJ.
Ralston, a genuine man, was made
chairman, and the nominations for
state officers were thrown to the
free silver men as sort OF a sop to
to make them feel in a good humor,
while the gold, anti-Bryan element
proceeded to gobble up the delega-
tons to the national convention, IN
order to try and betray the party
there, and so fix up platform that
Mr.. Bryan would refuse to accept
a nomination upon it, and
the reelection of Mckinley
would be rendered certainty.
If the scheners succeed
at Kansas City, it will probably re-
suit in the election Of Col. Durbin,
and the trust ticket in Indiana, as is
probably intended by these at the
head Of it.
But the COURIER does not believe
they will succeed, as it firmly be
lieves there is enough patriotism LEI
in the masses Of the Democratic
party to rescue it from committing
political suicide, and destroying thu
ardent hopes of millions OF Amerl
cans for the perpetuity of free
liberty respecting, republican form
of government as opposed to an En-
glish form OF Imperialism-so dea
to many who imagine they wer
born to control.
1t may be the "wish is father t
the hope" in this matter, for tn
