AM EXCESS OF IMPORTS.
One ot the stock arguments of the Democrats against the MoK\rUey tariff law, lxth before and after its enactment, was that it was prohibitory in its character and that it would put a stop to all importations. The old eterotyped argument ot the free trader was put to good use, that if we oannot sell we cannot buy. We are now within sixty days of the end of the fiscal year and the record shows that we shall have imported during the year about $950,000,000 worth of foreign goods. Our importations have never before reached the $950,000,000 line,-but now they will pass it before the end ot the year. The largest amount of importations in any preceding fiscal year was in 1891, when they amounted to $854,519,579. Last year they were $813,601,345. Prior to 1891 they never reached as the $800,000,000 line. Our sales abroad this year will amount to about $800,000,000 It wiU thus be seen that under the mnch denounced McKinley 1 uv our importations will exceed our cxportations by $150,000,000. These ligures PIIOW that the McKinley law ic 'uced the tariff much more thnu it iocroased it. It 6hows also thai inst'-nd of Rny further reductions in tariff duties then* should be an increase. Eve with increase of duties it wonld then bj only on a revenue basis.
THE people of Boston have just made an investigation of the Bay State Gas Co., which supplies the city with light, and several facts have been brought to light, viz: 1. That the company's property was worth but $4,000,000, jet it had been capitalized at $17,000,000 and the public compelled to pay dividends on the latter amount. 2. That while the price of gas charged to consumers by the monopoly wns $1 30 a thousand, its actual cost of manufacture in 1891 was 41 cents a thousand and in 1892 but 32 cents. 3. That the Slate gas commission, appointed to protect the people againet gas eomptmiea' extortions and compel tht-iii lo observe the laws, had utterly failed to do its duty, but had laid itself open lo the grave suspicion of intentionally protecting the companies in lheir abuses. Any other conclusion than for the city to own the plants would be most "lame and impotent."
TELE disgusting spectacle of caning the remainG of Jeff Davis along the route froru New Orleans to Richmond will Boon begin, with numerous wakes held by the Southern brethren to testify their nppieciation of the deceased advocate of the last cause. Mr. Davis has been dead several years and the task of honoring his festering remains must be highly diverting. It can be ^safely said that none but Democrats' will participate in this disgusting spectacle.
MUXCIE fignres out a population of 19,000 from the enumeration of ^school children. The enumeration shows 4,750 children. On a basis of four to a family will make the 19,000 which she claims. Crawfordsville has 3,200 children and figuring on the same basis would give us a population of 12,800. A basis of three to a family would be nearer the mark in both cities.
CAPT. D. F. ALLEN, of Frankfort, has been appointed State Tax Commissioner by Governor Matthews. Capt. Allen was a prominent candidate for Pension Agent for Indiana, but he reached the conclusion after Gil Shanklin's experience that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
D. C. GKEINEB, postmaster at Terre Haute, has been removed on charges of offensive partisanship. A. H. Dunham, the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of Vigo county, has been appointed to succeed him. Of course the appointee is an inoffensive partisan.
THE Daily Record, the new two cent morning paper at Indianapolis, has made its appearance. It is not large but it has room to grow. Typographically it is a beauty, and it is as full of news as an egg is of meat. It bears every evidence of newspaper ability at the helm.
CON CUNNINGHAM is still in Washington but his name has not appeared ID tho newspapers for several days. As TUG JOURNAL remarked eeveral days axp the Joey Bagstock ot the Crawfordsville delegation in search of nsufruot is Jim Hanna. Keep yonr eye on Jim.
Tim State Board of Agriculture has paid the last of its indebtedness on the new fair grounds and owes not a dollar. The final payment was $8,0(10 and was not due for a year, but the board con eluded to save interest by paying it now.

ferUs Of Modern Ltfe.
Contacts with electric wires, railroad accidents, broken car and elevator cables, explosions of steam, natural gas and chemicals, poleions in adulterated food and drink, are a few but all these dangers combined do not kill as rapidly as slow and sure consumption Tbe death rate, however, from consumption is being yearly cut down aowo since Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N R., has (riven to the World his celebrated "Golden Medicol Discovery." a cure for Consumption and Throat and lung troubles lead to consumption, if taken in time and given a fair trUl. The time to cure Consumption, (which is really nothing more nor less than Lungscrofula), is in the first stages. A cough generally sounds the alarm, and you should I take the" Discovery" at once. There is time when It is too lata.
