SATURDAY, JULY IB. 1889.

EXAMINING TIU3 HOOKS due examination that should have a beneficial effect lias been made in the books of the auditor's office, previous to its occupancy by the present Incumbent. Froui the fact that ttie people have had to pay such enormous prices for the construction of gravel roads, that there have been attempted re-assessments of them, that two treasurers have been short in their accounts, and other matters, have led people to believe that crooked work of BO mo kind hart been going on for some years past, aud they have detnaurted that the books be examined, and if dishonest work be found that the guilty parties, if discovered, be punished. The REVIEW published last week au account of something over $400 being drawn on a school fund loan, in which the parties interested, or supposed to be, know nothing about it. Now let the guilty party be run down, wherever he may be, and punished. He has committed a crime. Let him, when the facts are proven, whatever may be his politics, republican or democrat, be given a term behind the bars at Michigan City. The public hates a thier, whether he be arrayed in rags or fine lineu. We know not who received this money, have heard no names mentioned, but some one has been guilty of an offence that should not be condened, but upon whom the utmost rigors of the law should be visited. The people have been bled enough, now let the bleeding couie from the other side. Some one has virtually stolen $400 from the county. He is no better than the thief who enters your premises at midnight. We trust further examinations will be made, and the rottenuess known to have existed fully brought to light

The tax payers demand it. Those who pay out their mouey to support the county have aright to know all about the matter.

BOOMING HILL.

The efforts to bootn Gov. Hill for the candi dacy for presideut upon the democratic ticket in 1892 would seem to be somewhat premature, Hill is no hotter nor worse than a score of other prominent democrats in the Union, aud would make no better race than Black, of Illinois, Gray, of this State, and others for the same position. There must hereafter be some other claim than simply that he is from New York, and may carry a certain wing of the democracy with him. The party will demand, and correctly too, that the candidate shall have some views and actions outside the interests of his owu State. He has made probably a very good Governor of New York, but this alone does not indicate that he would make a good preslden1 of the United States. Iu fact we consider that a wise move would bo the selectiou of a candi date in 1892 from some locality other than New York. It has never been heretofore any particular indication that a candidate selected from that commonwealth would secure a victory for the party. Viewing the political situation for the past 24 years, can anyone indicate any po litical sagacity particularly in selecting candidates for the national contest exclusively from New York? Would not victory been as likely to have been attained by the choice from some other section of the country. This business of moulding everything in the interest of the New York democracy and showiug an indifference to the interest of other sections should cease, Change this old, stereotyped, political program and select for a time at least the candidates for political honors somewhere else than in New

York. If they be true democrats in New York they will favor and cordially support a candi date for presideut from some other State as ar dently as from their own. We think there is nothing particularly wise nor strategic politically iu booming Hill, at the present time at least.

T1IK l'l IJLIC DliliT.

The statement made from tho Cioverument office at Washington shows thai me pulmt debt was reduced last year about §88,000,000, and the nation still owes about SI,000,000,000. It will require a long time yet to extinguish this debt in spite of tho favorable showing iriven by the treasurer's last report. In August 18155 the public debt, we believe, wits something near §2,"00,000,000, yet after the twentyfour years since then not half of this sum has been wiped out. It is (piestiouable if it is paid off entire within thirty years to coine in spite of predictions of asserted financiers to the contrary. It would seem that the debt is used aud has been for years as a means for capitalists to increase their wealth. That seems a part of the financeeringtliat has been prevalent most of tho time. If not, why not use the immense supplies of money in tho vaults of the treasury in paying it oil and reducing it that I much? Good fmanceering in the interest of the people would have compelled those to whom the government is indebted to hava received their pay iu 6iiver, paper, government certificates, or any other mouey used iu the commerce and every day business of the country, aud at any time the government was in a position to pay it. If a poor laboring inau is paid in silver or paper for any claim he may have against the nation why should not a bond holder be likewise served? The public debt has caused class legislation has made classes among the people aud made many men speedy millionaires. If it is a "public blessing," as one of the men made wealthy by it alleged, at one time, the great majority of the American people have as yet failed to realize it.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY REVIEW

T1IK BOOK "TUUST" ItEATIiN. I The school book trust, that is, the linn of Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., have probably reccived sufficient hint by this timo to indicate to I it that in the matter of supplying school books I for Indiana their time is about up for the presI ent. A new incorporated firm, among them

Heilmau, of Evausville, Fleming, of Ft. Wayne, Murdock, of Michigan City, and other well known citizens, propose to furnish school books as good as heretofore aud at lower stipulated prices. The firm proposes to comply with the requirements of the new school law in every respect. This is enough. The contract should be given them. The Cincinnati firm can retire, not very gracefully perhaps, but can go all the same. The new firm is exclusively Indiana also, and the money spent here will remain. This is some advantagei but nothing to compare in being rid of the 'trust" which for years has compelled parents of childreu to pay such gouging prices for school books.

llAISSING ASSKSS.MKNT.S.

The raising of assessments by a board of equalization is in some respects very unjust. It seems to act on the principle with many who have had their assessments increased from the figures furnished to the assessor by them that they are purjurers and have not sworn to the truth. Now we do not believe this is the correct view to take. The majority of men furnishing a detailed statement of their property do so honestly with a full knowledge of the light iu which false swearing will be held. Some of course act dishonestly and swear falsely regarding their property, but boards of equalization should aim to find these out and not make indiscriminate selections. No man knows the value of property generally so well as the owner of it, and boards of equalization may appraise it entirely too high for taxation compared to others. It is hardly fair unless the owner of the property is positively known to have sworn falsely to raise its valuation.

IT would seem that prize fighting, notwithstanding the laws in most States against it, is becoming recognized in this country as one of the fine or useful arts. A prize fighter receives as much attention from the people now-a-days as any orator or distinguished statesman, and the more men he cau successfully whip the more dollars are given him. John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain's names have been repeated much oftener and received much more lengthy notices through the daily papers than President Harrison has for months past. They seemed to be heroes in the estimation of thousands of people. The money flows in rapidly at auy of their entertainments aud thousands of people applaud them. Their business is to mash faces, break bones and cause blood to flow. The more neatly aud expeditiously they can do this the more money and "honor" to them. This American civilization and refinement is assuredly a wonderful thing in some respects—especially that having prize fighting features.

A FEW of the leading republicans here wno think they control all administration appoint, ments to be made from this locality have been acting very contemptibly toward Mr. Clodfelter, who some time since was tendered a government position. They, it is understood, have written very abusive letters regarding the merits aud stauding of Mr. C. to the appointing powers at Washington, and urging that it not be made. This was done simply because they were not consulted in the matter. His standing is fully as good if not better than the writers of these letters, and the fact that he was not seeking any position whatever, and does not desire one, should have been incentive enough to these individuals to know that it was not necessary to villify him. Judging from some of the specimen appointments made by this immaculate ring of small politicians the public at least will consider that it is time to relieve them from further service iu that line. :r

THE REVIEW is not fornenst the purchase of the toll roads at all if it will add to the advancement aud prosperity of Crawfordsville, but it does object to paying a high price for them in order to put money into the pockets of a few owners. The mouey to buy them it should be understood couies from all the people who pay taxes. Taxation is high enough at all times. Several of these alleged gravel roads are but little better than dirt roads, aud in all fairness the owners have had no right to collect toll for travel over them from anybody. They aro only too glad, mauy of them, to sell them to the township. We are all interested in the growth of our city and its increase in business, but we should at least be careful in attaining that end that we do not act reckless in doing so, or at least so move in the matter that liertv after wo should regret it.

VERMILION county has employed two experts to go over some records to look after some supposed crookedness of some officials. The "expert" business is a great fraud and they will find it out over there. Montgomery county employed two alleged exports a year or two ago. They were paid $5 per dpy and were the only ones who knew whether they put in full days' work. The county paid them about $3,000 and their "developments" amounted to but very MUO. SHI

A FOOL from the wilds of Hancock county, named Yancy, has assumed the oflice of coal oil inspector of this State, under a bogus appointment by Hovey, who has as much right to make the appointment as he would to appoint a postmaster. The authority for the appointment of oil inspector belongs to the legislature. Yancy has assumed the position with a great flourish of trumpets, has appointed deputies in each district of tho State, and threatens to ar rest the other inspector, etc. The fool has very probably had little to do with olllcial positions and this counterfeit appointment has turned his head. He will retire soou with drooping feathers, as about all Hovey's attempts to turn aside legislative appointments have as yet come

THE REVIEW'S account of the manner by which $+50 was taken from the county treasurer ou a warrant drawn for some person supposed to be borrowing school fund money a few years ago has aroused considerable interest among a few republicans at least. A few exposures like this and the people cau probably surmise where much of the gravel road mouey has gone to aud their extreme cost accounted for.

Lake Mnxinlinckcc.

During the warm aud swelteriug days anyone who can is hunting some place that is cool and pleasant and those who cannot are staying at home with an every day wish that they had been born lucky. The one place iu Hoosierdom which is now demanding attention is that beautiful body of water Lake Maxinkuckee. Surrounding it is the costly cottages with the many crowds of people always ready to welcome a stranger. The boats glide here and there loaded with mauy passengers while the oldest tars manage the sail boats which stand like white monuments all over the water. There are Quite a number of campers who are using tents, while many are stopping at the hotels. The assembly building where such able miuisters as Talmage and Sam Jones will soon deliver sermons is almost completed and is a mammoth affair. Surrounding the depot our fellow townsman, D. W. Cox, has made a haven, for a more beautiful spot is hard to fiud and it is safe to say the Vandal ia folks have spent thousands of dollars in beautifying the place. Agent Edgeworth of this city paid the place his first visit Sunday and saw everything though neither he nor his gentlemanly and accommodating operator, Tim Ward, caught nary a fish. Edgeworth came near falling iu the water for which act a reward would have been paid. The Alamo baud will vi3it the lake Sunday, July 21, when it is expected a large crowd will be there.

Knapp's hotel is the most popular place to stop aud the people from this part of the country are fast finding it out. The Vandaliais still running its Sunday excursions which are fast growing in popularity. The train leaves this city Sunday morning at 6:30, the fare is only two dollars and you have ample time to see all the sights, No oue should fail to make the trip.

SOME slick swindler lias found a method for transporting old potatoes into uew ones. He soaks them in a preparation that makes the rough outer skin peel off and leaves the thin inner skin, making them, in appearance, so much like new vegetables that nine out of ten people cannot tell the difference. There is a way to detect the deception, however, for the peeling ou the old ones will not scrape and that on the new ones will.

A Daring Jump. j®|

The following account of a daring ascension is taken from the Peora Herald. Simms is a Montgomery county boy and is quite well known. He is a son of W. H. Simms, a merchant of Waynetowu: "Ed Simms. the sailor, had a most thrilling experience at Fort Madison, Iowa, on the 4th. Simms is Peoria's crack balloonist. He is really as artistic aud far more|daring than Baldwin, of Quiucy, who is now rated as the champion balloonist of the world. Simms went over to Fort Madison and made the ascension and parachute drop. The parachute fell right in the middle of the Mississipi river. Simms saw his danger and as the parachute neared the water he jumped the bar and made a dive. As soon as he rose to the surface a number of of boats surrouuded him and he was hauled in. The people of Fort Madison were wild in their expressions of delight. Simms rode to the depot in the mayor's carriage aud was escorted by a brass band.
