lioi scs and money spending- sports to the town, it would be a good thing. Every other fair and racing association in this part of the country was allow, ing the privilege and was seemingly profiting by it. Many of the directors aid more substantial citizens openly advocated the innovation.

Since that time, however, a reaction has occurred and the sentiment in the board of directors is now radically Against pool sel'.ing. This change is doubtless due to a large extent to the t.and taken on the issue by the leading horse papers of the. country. These publications, which are really high toned, are waging a bitter crusade igainst. gambling at the race track, i'hev hold that it lead to disgraceful trW'Us and ••put up" raccs this past season and that the sport is destined to di.-astcr unless divorced to a great extent from gambling.

The directors also recogni/.e the fact that the Crawfordsville fair lias for years succeeded withou' gambling, in the face of great opposition, while neighboring fairs with gambling have gone, to the "deinnation bow bows."

It is likely that the purses in the peed ring will be increased and a few novelty races introduced. A great effort will bo made to give Craw fordsville the best races she has ever had.

Kttriipeil AfU»r All.

HioOmington Ir^fiunc: .Judge Miers has quashed the indictment against .lohn Kehoc. the "ringer" man who owns "Little Ibllv" and

Hanger.'

under which he was tried and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary, at Bedford, and a new indictment was made ont. to which he pleaded guilty. The judge fined him §100. which he stayed, ami was released. Hd Swann, his driver, was fined SJO. which he also stayed, securing his liberty. The statute under which these man were indicted was drafted by the National Trotting Association, and passed by the Legislature of lS'Jl at its solicita tion. Very few horsemen or lawyers were aware of its existence. Kelioe and Swann did not know there was such a law until they had worked their racket., in connection with a clique of race track sharps at Crawfordsville, Bloomington, Bedford and other places in this State. At Seymour they were informed of the statute, and promptly skipped to Kentucky. The prosecution of Kchoe and Swann has brought the statute into general notice, and their very narrow escape from a term in the penitentiary will no doubt have lie effect of bringing about a little higher grade of ethic- on Indiana race racks.

Preparing To Bring Suit.

Bloomington TcU'ithinu:: .1. B. Wilson, the attorney, is completing arrangements to bring suit at Crawfordsville against two hotels at that place for violating a contract and also for refusing to board Preston Kagleson, of this city, because he is a colored man. The suit is brought under the civil rights bill, and the recovery cannot be more than S10u in each case. It will be recalled that the trouble grew out of the refusal of, the hotels to lodge Lugleson when he went as a member of the i. F. foot ball eleven to play Wabash college and had to remain over night..

The best service of the statistician or the department of apricuiturc is the ascerisiiument, by diligence and caro, of the actual and real conditions, favorable or unfavorable, of the fariuervS and farms of the country, and to such causes which produco these conditions to the end that the facts oseertaiaed may iniide their

department of ngrlcnUuro Inuue-

dimclyscnt out blank forms of expense* accounts to each station, and proposed l-i addition to make, through trusted exports, systematic examination o( tho several stations during tho year, for tho purple of acquiring by personal Investigation the detailed Information nccessary to enable U*c secretary of agriculture tomako, as tho siatut provides, a satisfactory report to conprre •Phrtlvmr*

Tho boards of managomcnt of tho several stations. wlih great alu«rlty and cordiality. havo approved tho amendment to tho law providing this supervision of their expenril-v tures, anticipating that it will inrwise the eflftcloncy of tho stations and protect their directors and managers from loose charges concerning their use of piddle funds., besides bringing tho department of agriculture Into closer and more confidential relations with tho experimental stations, and through their joint service largely increasing the usefulness to tho agriculture of tho country.

Acting upon a recommendation contained in tho report of 1893. congress appropriated *HUKH) to enable the seerotary of agriculture to investigate and report upon the nutritive value of various articles and commodities used for human food, with special suggestion of full, wholesome and edlblo rations loss wasteful/ and more economical, than those In common uso For this appropriation the department has prepared and now hna ncarlv roady fur distribution an olomsntary discussion of the nutritive value and pecuniary economy 01 food. When we consider that fully one-half of all the money earned hv tho wa«o-earners of the civilized world Is expended by them for food tho Importance and utility of such an tn-.-j veti is apparent.

Tho department expended in the IKoat yeartSifci, $2,Mo.809.&0, and out of that sum the total amount expended in scientific rc-«enrch was 45.fi percent. But in the year ending .luuoan. 1894. out of a total expenditure of $1 3?. the department applied 61.8 perer.nl. of t'lutsum to scientific work and InvestUiaitou. *ti Is, therefore, very plainly observable that the economies which have been practiced In the administration of tho depnrtntout havo not been at tho expense of sclent ilie research.

Distribution of Documents nml Senls, The recommendation eonuihvd tn tho report of the secretary for 1&K3. tint tho vicious system of promiscuous free distribution oius departmental document* be abandoned is again urged. Tho publications may well' bt. furnished without cost to public libraries, cducutlonul Institutions, and tin* oflicers and libraries of states and of the feder.il pyn-ei-n-ment, but from all Individual* appl.vintf tor them a price covering the cost of the. document usked for should be required. Thus the publications and documents would be secured by tnose who really desire them for proper purposes. Half miiHo.-i of copies of tho report of tho secretary of agriculture are printed for disU'ibnlion at an annual cost of about ijtffl.MKU Large numbers of them are cumberlu.tf storerooms at the capltol and tho shelves of second-hand book stores throughout the country. All this labor and wasto might be avoided if: tho recommendations of the secretary were udopted.

The secretary also again recommends that tho gratuitous distribution of seeds ce '.se stud that no money be appropriated for that purpose except to experiment stations.. He reiterates the reasons given in his report for 1893 for discontinuing this unjustifiable gratuity, and I fully concur in the eoneh:«-^ns.v.hJeh he has reached.

An Agricultural Onui*.

A further important utility in ajfrjoaitural statistics is found iu their oluowJat ou tinrelation of the supply of farm produets io demand for them in tho markets of f.ho L-nited Stales aud of the world. It is tl oovnblt that an agricultural census may be taken each year through tho agonts of the statistical division of the department. Such a co.ii'rso is recommended for trial by the chief of that division. Its scope would be: 1. The area under each of the more important crops. 8 The aggregate products of each..of such crop-i. 3. Tho quantity of wheat and corn' in the hands of farmers at a date niter tin spring sowings and plantings and before the beginning of harvest and also the quantity'of cotton and tobacco remaining in the hands ot planters, either at the same dale or at.some other designated time.

The cost of the work is estimated at £i00.0r/0 Owing to the peculiar quality of the statistician's work and the natural aud acquired fitue^ necessary to it* successful prosecution, the secretary of agriculture expresses the opinion that every person employed In gathering statistics under the chief of that division, should be admltted»to that service, onlv after a thorough, exhaustive and successful examination at the hands of tho United States civil Herviec -wmn Ksie.n. This has led him to caU for suchexamination of candidates for the position o! statisticians, and also of candidates tor chiefs of sections in that division.

The work doue by tho department of agriculture Is very superilcially dealt with In this communication and commend the report of the secretary and the very important interests with which it deals to the careful iittenthm'oi the congress.

Ivll Service Iteforni.

The advantages to the public service of an adherence to the principles of civil service reform are constantly more apparent, and nothing is so encouraging to those In othoial life who honestly desiro good government ias the increasing appreciation by our people of. tin^e udvnntages. A vast majority of the votcrv.of the land are ready to insist that the time and attention of those they select to ierform for thorn important public duties should not bedistracted by doling out minor olltces. and hey are growing to be unanimous In regarding party organization as somothing that should be used in establishing party principles' instead of dictating the distribution of public places as rewards of partisan activity. Numerous additional ofilces and places huve. ..lately been brought within civil-service rules and regulations, and some others will probably soon be included. The report of the couim's*sloners will bo submitted to the congress, and 1 invite caretul attention to the reeommondatious it contains.

To Protect Public Hcttllh

I am eniircly convlnccd that we ought not to be longer without a national board of health or national health oflloer charged with no other duties than such as pertain to tho protection of our country from tho luvasion of pestilence and disoase. This would involve the establishment. by such board or officer, of proper quarantine precautions, or the necos.sHry.a-M and coutisol to local authorities on he subject. prompt advice and assistance to locate boards of health or health officers In the suppression of contagious disease, ami tn eases whore there are no such local boards or officers the imm•dial© direction by the national board or officer of measures of suppression, constant and 'authentic information concerning the health of foreign countries and all parts of our own country as related to contagious dbca-cs. and consideration of regulations to be enforced in foreign ports to prevent the introduction of contagion into our cltics and the measures which should bo adopted to secure thoir enforcement.

There seems to be at this lime a decided Inclination to discuss measures of protoct'k) against contagious diseases in international conference with a vlow of adopting menus of mutual assistance. The creation of such a national health establishment would greatly aid our staudlng in such conferences and improve our opportunities to avail ourselves of their benetits. I earnestly recommend tho inau'jm itton of a national board of health or stmfl national Instrumentality, believlug the same to be a needed precaution against contagious disease and in the interest of the safety aid heuHh of our people.

The Labor Inquiry.

Hy virtue of a statuto of the United Stat passed In 18^8,1 appointed. In July last. Hon. John D. Kernan, of tho state of New York, and Hon. Nicholas K. Worthington. of the st ite of Illinois to form with Hon. Carroll D.Wright, commissioner of labor, who was designated hv said statute, a commission for the purpose making careful inquiry Into th« causes of the controversies between certain ralroads and their employes which had resulted in an ctenstvo and destructive strike, accompanied by much vlolouco and dangerous disturbance with considerable loss of life and great destruction of property. The report of the commissioners has been submitted to me and 11 be transmitted to tho congress with the Idenee taken up on their investigat ion. Their work has been well doue, and their stand] i,' and intelllgcuco glvo assurance that tho report and suggestions they make are worthy of careful consideration.

Favors Fr«e Coal und Iron.

Tho tariff act passed at tho last, session of the congress needs Important amendments if it is to be execuwd effectively and with er* talnty. In addition to such nccessarv am* idmcntsaswill not change rales of dutv. 1 HIM still very decidedly in favor of putting coal nd Iron upon the free list.

The Sugar Schedule.

So far as tho sugar schedule is concerned. I would be glad, under existing aggravations, to see every partlole of differential duty in favor of refined sugar stricken out of our tariff law. If, with all the favor nowaccorded tho sugar refining interests In our tariff laws, it still languishes to the extent of closing refineries, und thousands of discharged workmen. It would seem to present a hopeless case for reasonable legislative aid

Whatever else Is done or omitted. 1 earnestly repeat here the recommendation I have mado In another portion of this communication, tint the additional duty of 1-10 of I cent per pound

laid upon sugar imported from countries paying a county on its export be abrogated, it seems to be that exceedingly important considerations point to tho propriety of this amendment

An Argument for Froo Ship*. With the advent of a new tariff policy notonly calculated to relieve the consumers of our lijnd In the_fo§t of their dally Life, but to in-

I "ri« oftter ucrciopmetit «/T ^sfriwcri thtTl and create for us closer and more profltabie commercial'relations with the rest of tho world.

I.nus*c of Depletion of the Kcftcrvc. Kothlng could be worse or further removed front sensible finance than the relations existing between the currency the government has issued, ihe gold held for Its redemption and the means which mu -t be resorted lo for tlie-puriwse of replenishing such redemption fund when impaired. Even if the claims upon this fund v,-ere confined to the obligations originally Intended and if the redemption of these obligations infant their 'cancellation the fmul Wi'uhl be very snail But these obligations when rocetved and redeemed in gold arc not. canceled, but are reissued, and may do duty many tunes by way of drawing cold from tho treasury. Thus we have an endless chain in operation, constantly depleting the treasury's gold und never near a final rest.' As If this was not bad enough, we have, by a statutory declaration that It is the policy of the government lo maintain the parity between gold and silver, aided the force and momentum of this exhausting process, and added largely to the currency obligations claiming thl peculiar gold redemption. Our btnall gold reserve Is thus subject to drain from every side. The demands that Increase our dauger also Increase the necessity or protecting this reserve against depletion, and It is .most unsatisfactory to know that the protection afforded is only a temporary pdii ition. l?on«l-Issues Ihe Only Itomed.v.
