Tub Terre Haute Gazette olaims that the Prairie City is the educational center of Indiana. Crawfordsville deniet the allegation and denounces the allegator.

THE beet sugar industry is making rapid progress in Nebraska, and many factories are being luiilt throughout the State. Bat free traders are seeking to destroy this important industry.

THE Chicago Keics-Revortl remarks that "there are indications that Mr. Cleveland will appoint Mr. Isaac Pusey Grey envey extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Indianapolis, Marion county, Indiana."

TIIERE if no species of gambling more alluring and demoralizing than pool Belling, and the bill introduced in the Senate by Senator McHugh, of Tippeca noe, to permit pool selling at horse races is most vicious in its character and should not receive Legislative sanction.

LAST year according to the ^official reports now filed Indiana produced 39,335,000 bushels of wheat, 103,334,000 bushels of corn and '29,175,000 bushels of oats. This at 500 bushels to the car would make 343,682 car loads. At 33 feet to each car it would till a freight train 2,148 miles in length, not includ ing engines. As a producer Indiana is getting her name up among the State? of the nation.

SOME of the Democrats in Congress who do the most kicking about the amount paid out for pensions are themselves drawing pensions as veterans of the Mexican war. Commissioner Kaum lately said: "Men distinguished, men occupying high places, and members of the two houses of Congress, who get big salaries and who served in the Confederate army are among those who are drawing pensions for service, and not for wounds, as is the case with the soldiers of the civil war."

THE pending constitutional amendments have been made a Bpecial order in the House for next Tuesday. There are four of them. In general they provide for making all State and county officers terms of four years, extend the length of time of the sessions of the Legisla ture from 60 to 100 days, and providing that corporations msy be taxed upon their net or gross earning. The amend merits were adopted by the last Legislature and must be endorsed by the present General Assembly and then pre sented to the people for their endorse ment.

A bill has been pending in the Senate to provide that all parties having candi dates on the election ballots should be represented on the election boards by persons who should witne the count. This is certainly a fair proposition The Populists and Prohibitionists, the law stands now, are without repre sentation and they have no satisfactory means of knowing whether the Demo crats and Republicans are fair or not, As it is they vote and have their votes counted by

faith

and not by

Bight.

The

Republican members of the Senate favored this amendment to the law, bn it was tabled by the votes of Democratic Senators and the bill thereby killed.

THE sentiment of public men and of the press seems to be nearly unanimous in favor of the UnitedStates controlling the Sandwich Islands. It is no new question as it has been considered one way or another by every administration since Jefferson's time. The uni form policy of our statesmen has been to favor and assist Hawaii in maintaining its independence so long as there was no danger of a European government seizing its territory. And now when the Hawaiians come knocking at our doors for annexation as a territory the duty of the United States is plain.

Every consideration of safety, of great interests, now and hereafter to exist, points either to a protectorate or annexation as a necessary step.

THE time of the State Sennte Wednes day forenoon was taken up mostly in random talks about dudes, in connection with Magee's cigarette law and McKelvey's pharmacy measure. Magee's measure was to raise the penalty for Belling tobacco to children under 16 years of age. The grave Senators think that dudea are the direct result of cigarette smoking in the days of childhood. This, Senator Magee thinks, is one of the most beneficial measures passed in the Senate this session. McKelyey's bill provides that druggists and clerks shall be thoroughly competent and as a recommendation shall be a graduate of a pharmaceutical school find shall have a certificate of capability from two reputable physicians. Senator Granor thought the bill was prepared in the interest "doods," as he called them, and would drive old druggists out of the business

in ordpr to let lb a "tloods nmt inexperienced college graduates" it.. Tbo Somite waxed warm in his argument, and made it known that he is not in favor of auy "dood" laws. The bill was debated for about an hour, and every Senator thrtt took the door had something to Bay about "doods."

"SUMER IS l-CUMEN IN."

I.anguft9«

Oldest Sonf In the Engllftli "Written In 1236. The oldest British song, taking the word British in its widest acceptation, and thus making it Include Cymric and Gaelic, might, with about equal justice, bo the Cymric battle song: "Godonin" —described by Henry Morley as "the most important fragment of what may represent the oldest Cymric literature" or the Gaelic description of the death of Oscar at the battle of Gabhra, which took place in 3S4 A. D.

Of songs In the English language the oldest is "Beowolf," a legendary herolo song originally brought to this country by the Angles and handed down from generation to generation as the language developed.

The oldest song iu the language that has come down to us with its musical setting is a "canon" or "round" called "Summer Is I-cumen In," arranged •with considerable skill for six voices. The MS. is in the Ilarleian library, and the best authorities ascribe it to tlv. authorship of John of Fonsete, a monk of Reading abbey, who Is supposed to have written it about the year 1226. Here Is the first verse of it:

Sumer Is i-oumen in, :"v' ShuflB sing cuccu,^ Groweth sede and blowetU mcda, And 6prlngth the wde r.u,

Sing cuccu, ouccu. gags*

SALTI'S PRIMITIVE VILLAGERS.

Curious Condition* Prevailing la a Remote Corner of the Island of Sardinia. Not long ago the inhabitants of the town of Saltl, in the island of Sardinia, petitioned the Italian government for a separate municipal existence, it being a part of Budduso, which is forty miles away. A commission was sent to make inquiries, and this remarkable report was made: "Salti has no town council, no police, no clergyman, no physician. It possesses no post office, no church or chapel, no school, no registrar's office. On the maps of the kingdom, although it contains twelve hundred inhabitants, it is not marked, yet the state receives taxes from the people, but sends no tax collector to receive them. The taxpayers journey sixty kilometres every ight weeks to pay taxes. Once a year in May all the children born during the year are taken to Budduso and there baptized. The dead are buried in the most primitive manner and without ny trace of religious rites. Marriages are conducted on the same system without any formality or ceremony and are declared later on to the registrar or parish priest, sometimes long after they have been blessed with issue. Vaccination and medicine are only known from hearsay. The children grow up without schooling or instruction of any kind."
