The republican national commit
tee continues to send out warnings
about apathy. A letter from os-
eph III. Manley, national committee
man, now in Maine, says: "In the
twenty years that | have been con-
nected with the republican organi-
zation in this state | have never
witnessed such apathy as now exists
in the republican ranks. This is a
serious condition and not healthy
one"

shrewdest politicians in the city of

Indiana Democratic Says Blodgett.

w. Ii. Blodgett, special correspondent
of the Indianapolis News, gives the fol-
lowing st itement in the columns of the
News relative to the political status of
Indiana:
"Taggsrt has inspired more conf
dence in the democratic workers than
they have had since 1896, and the re-
publlcsns must not think for moment
that they can go to sleep and find the
state safe when they wake up. If the
election was held today, 1t Is about
eight chances in ten that the democrats
would carry Indiana. The republican
political g will deny this with ell possi.
bic emphasis but they would not make
public the result of recent poll for q
good deal of money. In private they
saw: we will have to fight for it,. But
they keep up stern countenance In
public. and claim everything"

Teddy, the Spokesman.

Under date of April 8, 1897, the Del
phis Journal contained the following
article from the pen of republican Con-
gressmsn G. b. Lsndis, its publisher,
under the caption:
"Teddie Roosevelt, the RefOrmer, Gets a
Job-This Chronic Office Seeker
and Spokesman Is Appointed
Assistant Secretary of the
Navy"
Theodore Roosevelt, commonly
known as Teddy" has posed before
the people of this great country during
the last fifteen years as reformer.
The chief effort of Teddy has been to
discourage office-seeking. Teddy is
afflicted with nightmare about eight
nights in week, interfering with his
sleep and disturbing his dreams, all on
account of morbid fear that too many
people in America want to hold office.
This, at least, is what Teddy would
have the people believe; but from
Maine to California and from Canada
to the gulf, every county, township and
precinct may be searched and no case
of office itch half 80 bad as Teddy's
own could be discovered. 1t is both
chronic and acute. Teddy has held
office almost continuously for many
yesrs, in fact ever since he was old
enough to hold office. Even in the in
terims when he was not In office he
occupied his time in asking for office.
He was q member of the state legisla-
ture in New York He was csndi-
date for mayor of New York, He was
civil service commissioner at Wash
ington and subsequently police COM
missioner at New York. And Mckin-
ley was no sooner elected than Teddy
started q campaign for the position of
assistant secretary of the navy, to
which he was appointed few days ago.
And during ell these years Teddy has
been wsiling against the office seeker.
How long, o, Lord, must we endure
these shsms?"
Up to date. the democrats bave not
exposed the two faced character of
Teddy Roosevelt in stronger language
than Congressman Lands has done in
the above article, which appeared In
his paper April s, 1897.

BRYAN'S TOPEKA SPEECH.

In his speech at Topeka Mr..
Bryan has demonstrated himself to
be complete master of the situa-
ton. His willingness to bury all
secondary differences and to squarely
face the one great issue that involves
the perpetuity of the republic will
strengthen him with the men who
do not agree with him on the
money question and at the same
time, he will hold the same place in
the hearts of the bimetalists of the
country. His two great speeches
are thermometers. Bryan can always
be relied upon to do the right thing.

showing their Indebtedness. These
statements are sent that subscribers
may know their arearages and, if it

Washington, May This was suspen- sion day in the house, and quite number of bills were passed The most important was the senate bill to amend the general pension laws so as to provide for aggre- gating disabilities under the act of 1890 without regard to service or origin, or to increase the net income a widow may have without destroying her right to a pension from s9G to s25O The purpose of the bill is to modify rulings of the pension office in accordance with the recommendations of the G. A. R. It was passed without a dissenting vote. The bill to increass the appropriation of the national guard from $40O,0OO to s1,0O0,0OO was also among those passed.

 "The gentleman will state his point
 ''I desire to know whether a member of this house has not the right to make mo- tion in accordance with the rules of this house?"
 "The chair" replied the speaker, must perform its duty in making recognition to suspend the rules. The gentleman is out of order and will take his seat"
