Is ISilO Indiana had 1,278,000 sheep. If wooi is pl»c«d on the free list as it will be the number will be reduced 50 per con I. by 1S90.

The date for the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Repnb-

jic

to be held at Indianapolis has been

set for September 4.

Tuk Illinois Steel Com puny propose? to shut down its steel rail plant nt South Chicago on December 15, because of uncertainty about the tariff, and 3,500 men will le thrown ont of employment. Chicago's majority for •'tariff reform" will cost the workingmen there a large sum of money.

Thk Indianapolis Sentinel has mad. an effort to get the views of the Indi ana Democratic delegation in Congresi concerning an extra session. Six havt responded, the other fourteen preferring to remain non committal. Four express themselves in favor of an extra session while two doubt its wisdom. Mr. Brook shire is waiting for the cat to jump.

The Indianapolis Sentinel hypocritically offers a reward of S100 for tht arrest, and conviction of the Democratic vandals who desecrated the graves of Union soldiers in Hendricks and Morgan counties. Their devilish work is but the outgrowth of the teachings of the Sentinel and instead of being ashamed it should be proud of its pupils.

Before the Chicago convention Henry Watterson wao bitterly opposed to tht nomination of Cleveland. To nominate him, Mr. Watterson said, would be "march through a slaughter house toau open grave." It is supposed now thai the brilliant and scintillating Wattersori has "for sale, low for cash or country produce, a first-class 'slaughter house" and one 'open grave'.''

Those boys who expect to pursue the vocation of farming should avail themselves of the opportunity presented bv Purdue University in the special course in the school of agriculture. The term begins January 10, and continues eight weeks. The instruction will be given by lectures and practical work. Eight weeks could not be spent to a better advantage. It may be worth thousands of dollars in the future.

The Democrats have promised an abundance of wotk nt high wageB. cheaper clothing for his back and cheaper food for his stomach. They have promised that the farmer slml! rtc ive better prices for hiB products and that the consumer 6hall pay less. In short they have promised good prices for everything that anybody has to sell and low prices for everything that anybod has to buy. The fulfillment of these promises will be watched with interest by the Republicans.

sented as a blooming jay or verdant mossback. Indiana was depicted as the home of an ignorant boorish class both ridiculous and vulgar. This ridicule of Indiana has gone far enough. Indiana's farming class is intelligent and progressive, and to hold it up to the world as the reverse is both an insult and an injury

Society Aflair at tne Monon Station. This morning when Agent Watson arrived .at the Monon atation he was met by an eminently respectable looking old gentleman who stared in a despairing manner over his gold rimmed spectacles at his shoeless feet. The old gentleman presented at once a ridiculous and a pitiable spectacle and his tale of woe was both amusing and curious. It ap pears that he went down last night to take the north bound train and as it was several hours la'.e prepare to make him Belf easy. He secured a corner of the station and as his shoes were new and tight he unbuttoned them and left them loose upon his feet. When he awoke uptn the arrival of the train they were tune and he was obliged to shiver in his stocking feet until the arrival of agent Watson. Mr. Watson hailed a passing beer wagon which was distributing refreshments to that aristocratic quarter and it was chartered to haul the old gentleman to the nearest ohoe store. He was fitted out but went to Chicago via the Vandalia fearing doubtless to again brave the blue blooded patricians residing about the Monon station, the pride and delight of the Hoosier Athens.

The Ouiatenon Olub

The Ouiatenon Club held its regular meeting last evening and listened to an excellent paper by Prof. Kingery on "Compulsory English Education." Trof. Kingery was rather inclined to favor compulsory education but gave some statistics which showed that Indiana without a compulsory law had less illiterary than the eastern States which have had it for yours. The pnper pro voked quite an animated und interesting diECUssion and proved prolific of information.
