TIE INDICATIONS FAVORABLE

In the opinion Of many leading men,
there is good reason for believing that
the Democrats can carry the Ninth
District this fall, and il a united effort
is made, with the light man as leader.
will be sure to do so. There is dis
affection in the ranks of the RepubH-
cans which is not likely TO strengthen
the party in the District. The rec ent
Convention at Bristol, in which Mr..
Lindsay, the successful Chairman of
the party in the district, was unexpect-
edly and unceremopiorsly snubbed.

war with the Republicans in the East
and war among themselves they will
not be in the best shape to make war
on Democrats.
And then, Col. Slemp, who will
certainly be nominated this fall to sue
coed himself in Congress is not a strong
candidate before the masses. His
record in Congress, while devoid of any
official act that could be Justly styled
as Objectionable, was also devoid OF any

recorded OF his public service which
entities him to be returned to his seat
IN the Congress OF the United States.
II 20 is the more evident when the
fact'is recalled that both houses and

THE BIRDS AND THE CATS.

A good deal has been said recently
about protecting the birds, and wor h.
less dogs have come in for their share
of Vituperat,On, and justly, too. But
how about the worthless cats? 1t is
estimated that each cat in the country
destroys four birds every year, and
probably more. III these were English
Sparrows there would be no kick. In
fact, il the genus cat had a palate for
English Sparrows only, it would be
well TO establish batteries, and raise
them by the wholesale, and turn them
loose upon the little elusive pests, but
not so. A cats taste runs toward
songbirds and pets, as well A nice,
fat robin, partridge, mOckingbird or
lark is as eagerly sought as any other
by the rowing, ravenous tom-cat, and
he hesitates not 10 take the last piece
in the dish, be it young bird, mother
bird or the father OF the family. The
eXtinguishment OF the race seems to be
the delight Of these signalling, sneaking
cats.
Cats or birds, which? Let boot
jacks, bullets, deathdealing missiles fiji
the air by day and by night, and the
song of the robin, wren, blueblrd and
martin take the place of the growl and
grin, and cat-a-wails, the place OF cat
elwauls. A bird in the bush is worth
a dozen in the cat,

The moon, most innocent and unob-
trusive of planets, has been saddled
with many sins and responsibilities by
the ignorant and superstitious with
which it has no more TO do than
lobster at the bottom of the sea. The
notion that the moon affects mundane
affairs may be natural among savageS
and that element of our population
which still believes in hoodoos, but it
is surely out of place among farmers
making the slightest claims to intelli-
gence. Get all these notions about
"Signs of de moon" out of your head
if they have not already been displac-
ed by advancing intelligence. Plant
radishes, peas, potatoes and other
things when ready, that is, when the
ground is in best order To receive the
seed or plant, regardless of whether

The Work OF Congress.

The record of things accomplished
at the first session of the Fifty-eighth
Congress, which was closed Thursday,
is noba long one. 1t is characterized
in certain ways by the caution and
conservation which the country has
learned to expect from the dominant
party on the eve Of presidential cam
paign. The annual supply bills were
made up with an eye to economy
No river and harbor bill carrying ap-
preparation for new projects was under
taken, and no omnibus measure for
the construction Of new public build
ings was allowed to pass.
The important work OF the session
was confined to two subjects-Cuba
and Panama. The special session
which preceded the first regular ses-
sion was called for the express pur-
pose OF fulfilling our national pledge
10 CuOa. Legislation making reel
procity treaty with the island republic
operative was enacted, and the senate
subsequently ratified the treaty nego-
tiated with Cuba to carry out the
terms eff the Platt amendment.
The Panama affair, leading to the
recognition OF the Panama republic.
the negotiation of canal treaty with
the new power, the transfer OF the
franchises and property Of the Pana-
ma Canal Company to the United
States and the enactment of legisla-
ton for the government OF the canal
zone, was asudden and unexpected de-
velopment which Vas met promptly
and decisively by the President and
Congress.

Examine You Seed Corn.

Notice has been sent from different
experiment stations Of the states, adj
vising farmers to test their seed corn
well before planting. Corn maturing
so very iate last fall, the germ was
not perfect, and SO much of the corn
was put in the crib before being dry
that the long continued winter has
frozen the germ. A test should be
made of all your seed before planting,
as the tests at the different stations
have demonstrated that fifty per cent
of corn taken from the crib will not
grow, and toe farmer that selected his
seed last fall and properly cared for it
the past winter is fortunate, as good
seed will command good price this
spring.

That the New York platform is in
tended to be the fOrerunner Of the
platform of the st. Louis convention
is becoming rather too plain for con-
tradiction by the democratic press.
That it is dishonest platform, on
which none but an artful dodger can
stand, is the testimony of Mr.. Bryan
at Chicago. Hiring his own hall, in
troduced by himself to his vast aud
fence, plainly stating that he'did the
hiring and introducing for the reason
that he wanted to say what he pleased
without the imprimature or the con-
domination of any club, Mr.. Bryan had
the largest audience of the season, and
sympathetic audience at that.
1t was shrewd play on the part of
Mr.. Bryan. He is evidently growing
in the art of politics. He has de-
monstrated to the people and the dem
ocratic politicians that it is Mr.. Bryan
that is loved by the democracy rather
than the democratic party. In the
immense audience which heard and ap-
plauded him at Chicago. Mr.. Bryan
had a strong exhibit of his wonderful
power over the democratic masses,
needing neither club nor committee,
nor band wagons, nor red devils to call
them out. He needs but one blast
upon his bugle horn-or one lifting
of his little finger.
The Chicago incident is notice to
ST. Louis convention and to the Par
kerites, the Gormanites, the Cleve-
landiteS, and even the Hea,stites,
that the platform to be adopted by
the ST. Louis cOnyention must be &C
+ceptable to Mr.. Bryan, and that the
man must be equally acceptable to
him, or that there will te neither
platform adopted nor candidate
named. In other words it is notice
to the convention that it will be DOM
mated by Mr.. Bryan, or Mr.. Bryan
will know the reason why.

Bozarth For Governor,

Nelson j, Bozarth. an attorney of
Valparaiso, who was a candidate for
nomination for governor before the
democratic state convention a few
years ago, will again be candidate
before the next democratic state con-
ventiOn.
Mr.. Bozarth was born, raised, and
educated in indiana and never lived
outside the state. He is a self.made
man in every sense of the word. He
was born at Rochester, Indiana, and
his father, Lot n. Bozarth, died when
Nelson was only seven years old. AT
fourteen years of age Nelson enlisted
in the Union army and served two
years. He claims to be the youngest
soldier of the Civil War who carried

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The nomination of j. Frank Hanly
for governor places at the head of the
republican ticket one OF the best
speakers in the state, 1t has been
we'll said of him that while he Is COM
paratatively young man he has been
in pnblic life for some years and has
made himself well known throughout
Indiana as a man of Intellectual abil-
ity-a type of the energetic, enterpris-
ing young Americans of the day, a
man who sets a goal for himself and
reaches it,
Hugh Theodore Miller, the candi-
date for lieutenant governor, Is a
young man of excellent education and
much general information. While a
member of the legislature he was
known as walking encyclopedia of
all the business transacted. He is
one of tie best men that could have
been selected and his nomination gives
general satisfaction.
George w. Self, Of Corydon, nomin-
ated for reporter OF the supreme court.
is an excellent choice. He is the ed
itor of republican paper in a dem
ocratic county, is man of high re-
pute and well qualified for the pos
ition.
Joseph n, Stubs. the nominee for
state statistican, is in every way fitted
for the position to which he will be
elected next November.
Of'the other nominees nothing need
be said. They have all been tried and
not found wanting in any respect.
This was proven by their unanimous
unhesitating endorsement by the con-
vention.
1t is a strong ticket standing on an
admirable platform and with it the
republicans ought 20 be able to pile
up the largest majority ever given in
Indiana.
