Tl'KSDAY. DECKMUER 11. lS'.U.

TIIK St. I.ouis ilUihc-Di'ui'KT"! thinks the Democratic party is badly in need of a force bill to compel it stay-nt home members to sio to the polls ami save it from annihilation.

TIIK convention to frame a State constitution for Utah will be composed of forty-nine Democrats and tifty-eijrht Republicans. All the indications point to I'tah as a Republican State.

OK the million or two of income tux that will be collected it will require half of it to pay the ollicers necessary for its collection. It will mainly ben lit the army of otliee holder.-, for which

the act a provides.

St. Lulls will make a strong bid _for the next National Republican tonvention. and with a strong probability that the Missouri city will fret it. The fact that Missouri has just (fone lie publican is in favor °f M. I.ouis.

A W \siuxi tun special to the Indianapolis Journal gives some gossip as to the plans of the •turned-down' Indiana Congressmen. Of the distin •Tuished member from the Kijrhth district the following- is given: ".Mr. Ilrookshire views the future with a comfortable eye. £lle hits in vested very iheavily in real estate in various places, partly for permanent investment, partly for specu Union. lie contidedj to Mr. .lason lirown tliat'he and Mr. VanderbiU owned several millions of acres of land in North Carolina, though not in equa portions. Mr. Ilrookshire has also made some investment in Washington real estate. He will make his home in Terre Haute. The correspondent probably meant that he would make his home in Crawfordsville. i&jAi.

Mr. Laui.isi.k wants to retire the legal tender currency and also use it as a guarantee fund for the banks This seems to be a case of eating our cake and having it too. It won't work —Atlanta Con-stitutinn I

The people are wedded to a national currency and any ''plan'" that will re suit in retiring it and substituting fur it a system of State bank money, however well guarded it may be by C.overnment control, will meet with determined opposition. To rush it through during the present term of Congress would complete the annihilation of the Democratic party. The experience of dropping silver from the coinage in ls73 is yet fresh in the minds of the people. They may have condoned the offense, real or imaginary, but they have not forgotten it: anil to repeat the experiment with our currency will but add fuel to the (lames and completely wreck any party that attempts it. Il is loo much like entering out upon an unknown sea without compass or rudder.

Till Republican newspapers of the Mate, we are pleased to see, have with commendable unanimity, taken high ground in favor of living up to the platform in favor of placing all our benevolent, penal and charitable institutions on a non-partisan basis. l-'or the boards of control they demand that the political hacks shall be relegated to the rear and that both parties shall be represented by men of experience, business opacity and of unquestioned integrity. Such men are to be found in both parties, and these, are the men needed. If our boards of control were composed of such men they would se leel as Superintendents the man or the woman who is best fitted for the posi lion regardless of his or her political belief. And it would be well to introduce the merit system for all employes, and as far as possible, divorce all our institutions from the dirty pool of pol ities. This done party pledges will have been fultilled and we can go be fore the people with the plea of prom ises well performed.

CKAW I-'OItI)SvI M.K St.lIOOI. M) The tax payers of Crawfordsville will

experience quite a little raise this year in the matter of the local levy for tuition. Lost year only 83.013 was raised while this year S10, l!»ti will be raised. This pumps the assessment up to cents on the 8100. On the special tax the rate is only 5 ceutn. whicl raises about S3,000. This makes the city cough up 811.000 for school purposes against about ¥7,900 last year By reversing the rates of the tuition and special the same amount could have been raised this year and the surplus, if any. would not have to be turned back to the State. The tuition fund cannot be touched for the build ing of new school houses, but must all be expended for paying teachers, all surplus going to the State treasury

Last year Crawfordsville reserved from the State •?'.».13S.2.' for tuition in addi tion to what was raised by the local lax. The schools here cost for tuition S15.ti:."J.7.r). This year the city will re ceive from the State at least §',:«). and this with the SlO.t'.'O raised by the levy makes about Sl'.i.OOO. According Iv, unless the teachers of Crawfordsville cost considerably more than they did last year we shall have to turn the surplus back to the State treasury and that will break our hearts.

1NII.\N.\V«I.IS. l"W. il. In the liin'of exclusive iufonnanun 1 have for your readers this week a bit of gossip with regard lo-a reapportionment for legisln-

of the state sejiate have held two conferences here since the electi'.ni. and that at the first it was divided to enact such law. It is with regard to this determination that 1 have secured a piece of news hith"'i'tounpublish"d. What would lie the attitude of senators on this question was certainly unknown before the conference, and in consequence the leaders thought advice an essential in affecting their judgment. To whom did they apply': 1 have it on the best authority that it was to no less a personage than ex-Pres-ident Harrison, who furnished an opinion that there could no question of the legality of an apportionment that would ileal fairly with all parties, it being the argument that there is at preslit no constitutional apportionment in effect and that when :i test conies in the courts between the present law and one to be enacted there is but one way of deciding. This opinion by the ex-presi-lent. was indorsed by a federal court judge on the district.bench, and to these opinions is attributed more than to anything else the positive talk of senators that the new law will be nothing else than "fair and just."

It is the Democratic contention that the existing law is fair and just in its distributions, and the recent elections are often cited as evidence of this claim. In addition. Democrats answer the Republican assertion that the law was not •passed at th- proper time'by the assertion that- it had to lie passed ill a year other than that provided by the constitution, the supreme court having left the state without any apportionment law by its decision in the case attacking the law of 1

SSil, and that on this ground the

existing act is unassailable.

In this connection it is stated that the Democratic-members of horli branches will ignore the apportionment measure entirely, claiming that it is unconstitutional to enact such a law at this time, tiovernor Matthews will undoubtedly veto the bill when it reaches him. It is altogether probable that the .Denioi-ratie members of the hou-e and senate committees on this subject will refuse to have any part in the eoinmilt'*' work or that minority members will vote when the measure is put upon its passage..:'

•Smiley N. Chambers. Republican, recently gave utterance to the opinion that, his parry vra" doing wrong in preparing to redi.-tri'-t tlv state, contending that the constitution provided but one time fuv such an act, and that this date was not the proper one. Mr. Chambers claimed that an appeal to the (eoj:/:v .m this issue at tlie next election would be the most effective means of securing success. It. is hardly lieces sary. in view of what has been said iibovc, for me to add that Mr. Chambers' arguments have not met with hearty lpproval in his ov.u party.

The-apprtrfioiitriout committees niimi'd by the senate conference are as follow Congressional: Vail, White. Sweeney. Leyden. Mull. McCord, Craner. Wisharri. Kern, Phares, Beck, LaFollett. Me Donald.

Legislative: Wishard. Honghton, Bethel, Leyden. Johnson, McKelvoy Shiveley, McLean, O'Brien, fiostlin. Baker. McMauus and Crumnacker.

(Jolton it was who wrote that:"women do not like a mail the worse for having many favorites if he deserts them all for her." And what an excellent- opportunity is given for man to desert about •JO others for one in tile race for slate librarian. A perfect bevy of them are seeking the place, and seeking it diligently. It is this diligence which is ausing a good many members-elect to wish they had never attained such distinguished honors, if not to wish they had never been born. The position bailee for some years conceded to the women, the only exception in recent years being its bestowal upon Jacob IV Dunn, at present editorial writer oil The Sentinel, four years ago by the Demorats. After one term Mr. Dunn ex•rted himself in behalf of the effort made to restore, the position to woman, and was an active supporter of Miss

Ahern, the present incumbent. Home Republicans say there is no likelihood that a change in the programme will be made this year, although several men are competitors against the fair ones for recognition. Among these are Dr. M. X. Elrod of Hartsville, who was defeated for the nomination for state geologist •John C. Ochiltree of Marion, who form erly lived in Danville and is well IUIOWTI through newspaper work James l-'.ast of Indianapolis, formerly a pension ortice clerk Benjamin S. Parker of Newcastle, who is poet, editor and ex-county oflicer L. B. Brown of Lebanon. Ceorge W. New lurk of

West Middletown, and Mr. Ensley of Shelbyville. with possibly others. It is possible tii.it no increase of male aspirants will be reported. Mrs. Virginia Meredith of Cambridge City, who was announced early in the campaign, is reported a= having withdrawn. Among the women candidates whom 1 hear most mentioned are hla May Davis of Huntington, who has a reputation in literary work: Mi« Nancy Baker of Indianapolis, daughter of the late cx-Uov-ernor Conr-id Baker and at present in the city library Miss /.cm of Pern, daughter of the mayor of that city Miss Annie (!arver of Induinapolis, who is private secretary to James H. Carnahan, commander of the IT. R. of the K. of P. Mrs. Pauline Norvell l'carsou of Bloomingtoii. who is a soldier's widow and has been engaged in literary work Miss Lillian S. Welton of \'iil eennes Mrs. Martha Mossett of Indianapolis Miss A/.bill of Madison ami Mrs.

Davidson of Peru, who is the widow of a soldier and who on a prior occasion, mien me tvepnoilcans were in a minor it}-, secured tho caucus nomination.

The correctnosb of the view that tho above position is to go to a woman can not be too nositively relied upon, 1 ihink, in view of the number of men who are pressing for the place and who are as-1

ing one from the long list of'seekers,

Oglesliy, who is chairman .1 the Thirteenth district committee, wauls lo be secretary of tho senate and has been looking after his chances.

It will not be strictly in lino with legislative gossip, bul will doubtless af-

tive and congressional purposes. '11 will be ford interesting divertiscmeut to rel'er recalled that the Republican members to the number of Republicans in Indiana who at this date are recognized as

at this dati

ispirants for governor two years hence. This list was prepared by a well informed politician, who handed it to mo with the remark that "everyone of them setting up pins for the nomination Beginning with the capital city, there are John I., '-iritiiths. Smiiev N. Chambers. John M. Butler, Addison C. Harris ami Caleb S. Penny. From over the tate tlien* are Charles F. (iriflin of Hammond, James S. Podge of Elkhart, Warren i. Sayre of Wabash. Charles K. Everett of Fort Wayne, \Vi 11 Cumback of i. civensbiirg. Frank B. Posey of F.vat'.sviile, Theodore Siiockney of Union City, Henry I". Johnson of Richmond, James T. Johnston of Rockville. Robert J. Traceweil of Corydon and William D. Owen of Logansporr. There are issibilities that to this list could justly be added the names of John K. (rowdy of Rusbville, chairman of the Republican state committee Senator L. P. New by of Kuightstown, who has been hosen president pro teni. of the next session, and James E. Watson of Rushville, who may shy his castor into the ring in case his reapportioned district docs not: suit him.

My Democratic friends say it is altogether tuo early to commence figuring on the possibilities of two years hence, but assure me that there will be plenty of material to select from., An astute politician has made the observation that should there not be an army of aspirants. as in ihe opposing party, there will not be tiie same extent of disappointment. Captain William K. Myers mid ex Attorney leneral (ireen Smith, however. I hear mentioned occasionally as not being averse to making the race, and it has been suggested that William S. Holman may be urged from his section of the slate.

Senator Leonidas Perry Newby, who has been selected president pro tem ol the senate, had his first legislative experience two years ago. representing the counties of Henry and Fayette. In that session he took rank among the leaders. He is a practicing lawyer and had never held an elective office before being sent to the semi'e. Mr Newby is about 40 years old. He is of medium bight, heavy enough to tip the scales at 1*0 to 1 IM.l pounds, and his head has a rather sparse growth of light curly hair. His complexion approaches the florid and his eyes are of pronounced grayish-blue. His voice is pitchod in a high key and it will be no difficulty for it to penetrate the senate chamber, whether from the president's desk or from the place of a member on the floor, llis style of oratory is rather of the demonstrative kind —the sort that is pounded in with gesticulations. movements up and down the aisle and rising and lowering inflections of the voice. iii'fai

It i* p.vpoctod that within a th'pro" may be some changes in the .speakership race, but thus far none have been reported. Withdrawals are predicted by some of the candidates with whom I have talked, but none lias volunteered to suggest who may conclude to turn his support here or there in the struggle, and thus alter what may now be regarded as favorable indications for one man or another.

Friday next Joseph Swam, president of the State university Superintendent (TOSS of this city. J. N. Study of Richmond, R. I. Hamilton of Huntington, Quitman Jaekson of Greenfield. J. (J. Lewellyn of Muncie and \V. W. Pfrimmer of Kentland. comprising a committee named by Jndiana school teachers, will ni»*ft in this city to further consider legislation to be asked in behalf of the profession and tiie student. The most important .questions to be considered, and upon which some recommendations will be made, are the school tax law. county and slate superintendencies, library law and other subjects of direct interet.
