John Smith, dying one hundred years ago in Euglaud, might just as easily expect to be found and their estate secured as any ether of immense mythical fortunes that are said to be left by this or that wealthy person years ago These reports of heirs wanted to step into immense fortunes do not in one tiuie out of fifty amount to anyihing aside from filling the pocket of some shrewd attorney at the expense of the supposed "heirs," and the Edwards estate will pan out just about the same way as most other "estates" have.

ALLIANCE IN KANSAS.

In 1880 Kansas gave a larger majority for Harrison aud tbe republican ticket than auy other state of the Union. In lSf'2 it can safely be predicted that it will not give any majority for that ticket at all. Tbe Farmers' Alliance have a hold iu that State which all the money aud all the orations that the republican Darty can produce will not break. Tbe Alliance seems to be more outspoken and determined in its actions there than any where else. It squelched Ingalls, "the favorite son" of Kansas and Graud Mogul of the party without any compunctions of conscience, and notwithstanding the desperate efforts made to prevent it cast him aside without tiie least regret. He cannot arise again. At the third party convention in Cincinnati a lew days ago Kansas sent a larger delegation than any other state, and its members were very outspoken in regard to future political action. Tbe Alliance is decidedly antagonistic in Kansas to the republican party.

That State has always heretofore been considered one ot the strong and reliable commonwealths sure iu its support of that organization but will be no longer. The leaders of that party must look elsewhere for votes for the majority if they expect to maintain it, and this is oue of tbe hopeful signs of the democracy. The dissatisfaction existing in the ranks of the opposition in Kansas, ns in other republ can States, is strong and determined to breakaway from it. The Alliance is an outcropping of this dissatisfaction, and by it will render the old party in twain. The signs so far for tbe democracy next year are healthful and encouraging.

HARRISON PROPERLY SIZED UP. The Brooklyn Times, the leading Republican journal of that city, says: "We doubt if it would be safe or wise to renominate the president. It is the inevitable destiny of every president to excite, through no fault of his own, a large amount of personal hostility within his own party. By the distribution of patronage which is a part of his duly, he may win the zealous support of the recipients of his favor, but when there are a half dozen candidates for each place tbe selection of oue leaves at least live dissatisfied aspirauts, among whom there are sure to he some ready to spread the leaven of discontent through a large number of active workers. The party can afford to disregard this discontented element where the cauilidate for renoniinalion is a man of trausceudaut ability, which Mr. Harrison is not, or one possessed of personal qualitib3 that makes his name a spell word among the masses, which Mr. Harrison lias not, but in ordinary cases the experiment is a dangerous experiment and such wo thiuk would be in ihis case."

How do the Harrison wboopers iu Indiana like the above thrust from the stalwart Republican Times'.' If Blaine wants the nomination, Harrison will not have a respectable following in the convention.

HEIEING BIG FORtUNES.

yuite often witliiu a year past newspapers oT the country have been giving detailed accounts of tbe very valuable real estate in New York City beloDglug to the Edwards heirs, and which they were preparing to claim. Tbe value of the estate was put down at $200,000,000, and all the Edwards iu the' United States, numbering thousands of people, concluded at once that they were heirs of tbis valuable sum, or at least ought to be, and are getting ready to prosecute their claim''. Even here within Crawfordsville we have persous by the name of Edwards who, of course, must come in as claimants. One thing cau safely lie assured all these Edwards people ihey will be very much older than they are to-day before they begiu to enjoy the benefits of their heirship to this valuable sum, and more likely much poorer in purse. It is perhaps a myth when it is all summed up, and is the work of scheming lawyers to get money out of any who may consider themselves heirs. \Ve rarely hear of anybody inheriting such sums of niouey Those that owned such valuable property very generally directed it iuto the proper hands before they died, and there was no occasion for hunting up heirs. The heirs to the estate of

STOP THE BUSINESS.

The doling out of deputyships by this or that official, who may have them to dispose of for a cash consideration, is a matter that should receive the attention of the prosecutor, aud if illegal, those engaged in it promptly fined or otherwise punished, as the necessities of the case may indicate. It smacks of corruption and meanness of the worst kind. We do uot know that it is a custom indulged in by any official of this county to auy exteut or uot, to sell the position of deputy to an applicant, but if so it, should be stopped. If any official is found mean enough to sell the position or a deputy under bun for a stipulated price, or any price at all, he should be promptly bounced if it can be done. It is, if nothing else, morally wrong, if not legally. If any one knows of such practices being engaged in by any official, high or low, in the county, democrat or republican, wo will take pleasure in exposing him, on substantial proof being made.

Thk Slate Board of Education awarded last week contracts to the Indiana School Book Company for supplying the common schools with physiologies and spelling books. It looks now very much like the days of tbe "Octopus," or old school book riug were numbered so far ns Indiana Is concerned.

CRAWFORDSVILLE

AFFAIBS IN A "PROTECTED" STATE. Pennsylvania is a protected State. They are protected there, that is the manufactures and monopolists to the fullest extent. Carnegie, Quay and Wannauiaker live in that Suite. Here is a picture of a part of the situation in the Coal regions of that State of republican monopolists and protected manufacturers, as described by a correspondent from Scottsdale: 'More homes have been broken up by the strike that has just closed than by all the strikes that have preceded this most gigantic failure. Reports are coming in hourly of the hopeless destitution of hundreds of families. Heretofore many of them have been given credit at the stores, owing to the idea that at some time or other they would return to work.

Wheu the operators refused them work, however, they were at at their wits' ends. With uo work, no supplies and no credit, hundreds of them are to-day in far worse condition tbau they were at any time during tbe strike. Hundredreds of others are living on a bare substance and ane had it not been for their poor garden product—that every miner takes pride it—before this, they would have been obliged to do mere than ask their neighbors for temporary assistance."

FOR LIFE.

Bennett, the Lafayette murderer, after a trial lasting a month, whs last week adjudged gnilty and received a life sentence. His attorneys adopted the old sterotype line of defense that he was insane when lie killed the two men last November, but it did not work and rarely should with auy jury. Some how tbe insanity of many a red-banded scoundrel is never discovered until he unexpectedly kills somebody, then cousins, aunts and friends from every locality are summoned to testify to his alleged iusanity, and it seems no trouble for them to recall instances of queer conduct ou the part or the defendant. That line of defense to save the neck of a murderer is playing out aud should. People will not believe such stuff. Had Bennett have been liberated on the plea of insanity no one would have noticed after anything peculiar in his actions. His uiind would have been completely restored had lie have been acquitted.

UNFAIR ASSESSMENTS.

Generally speaking those loudest in their denunciation of the new tax law are the chaps who heretofore in proportion to the property possessed by theui, have paid the smallest amount iu taxes. Allow that auy man's land is assessed, say 50 percent, higher this year than last, he is not going to do much kicking if Ills neighbor's land is similarly assessed. If be is equally assessed with his neighbor he caunot reasonably complain, and will not. The new law is aimed to remedy iliese inequalities in assessment. Tax paying at any time Is distasteful enough, but is rendered more pleasant when no partiality cau be shown to exist in the assessments ou which it is based. The discontent of those who have heretofore escaped their just payment of taxes will amount to nothing when the full intent of the law is thoroughly understood.

In a letter to Mr. J. 0. Behmyer, of Tipton, the Hon. Green Smith says: Under the provisions of the new tax law Indiana will receive from corporations (50 to 100 per cent, more than ever before.

Railroads, instead of paying taxes on $70,000,000 will pay on twice that amount. Telegraph, telephone, express and sleeping car compauies will be required to pay on their earniugs as well as on their tangible property. And added to this, the money to be derived from insurance companies, banks and trusts organizing cr doing business in this state, the revenue from corporate sources alone will enable the state to pay off the debt which was contracted iu part through republican extravagance and in part by tbe democratic party in building tbe needed public institutions of the state.

Thk assertions made in sdine republican newspapers last week that President Harrison would not next year accept the nomination for president sounds very silly, and very few will for a moment believe it. Of courso lie will accept it. He and his friends are making every movement necessary thus early for that object. The thirty-day tour through the west and south was solely in his interest and to aid him iu securiutr the nomination so far aB it would go in that direction. Harrison would retain the office for the next twenty years if he could. It is remarkable that such a glaring inconsistency that he would not accept the next nomination if tendered liim would have any believers. Harrison is just like most men. He will accept honors aud big pay so leng as the people will give them.

Thk Midland strike is, or at least those at Waveland, seem to be preparing to (jet themselves into trouble by resisting the sheriff and the mandate or the court regarding the Midland railway muss, and instead of securing the niouey due them may have t« invest considerable in keeping themselves out of difficulty before the affair is finally settled. Public sentiment is decidedly against Crawford and his road, yet he is entitled to protection the same as the humblest citizen. He is consid" ered a decidedly mean man, yet the strikers in opposing legal process are kept that much longer out of that which is due them, and create a feeling at once against themselves. They must not oppose that which they themselves are compelled to use at last in securing what belongs to them.

A I'KW days ago old (irover Cleveland made a speech at Buffalo, N. Y. and in the course of his Remarks he could not resist the temptation of hitting the old defenders of the Union a foul under the short ribs. He is still whining about the large pension roll,—Newport Hoosier Slate.

Hi rot! oh balderdash! Are you not worried of forever using cheap republican stereotype campaign material? (Jet something new. The public are tired of such stale stuff. Anybody and everybody knows that Cleveland, Gen. Black, or any member of the administration, never opposed the payment of suitable pensions t« real saldiers, but ho did and always wil! oppose the payment of government money to camp followers, and many or the after day patriot#! that have arisen since the war, and most of whom belong to the republican party.

Huithlkwn newspapers through the state, it is noticed, are fighting the new tax law as vigorously as they did the new school book and election laws. Whatever is honest and trustworthy, it seems, can generally he round to have opposition from these publications. The best evidence of the fairness of the new law is the opposition it is receiving from republican publications.

WEEKLY REVIEW.

Repobt tbe other day said that ex*Presiden Hays was losing his mind. It may result from remorse in stealing the presidency from Sam. J. Tilden a few years ago, although it has been late iu arriving.

Mk. INitAi.LS is out iu a letter to Kansas editors in which he says that Cleveland and Harrison will be the presidential contestants, aud that the Republican party, should it attempt to make tfie fight on old memories instead of economic issues, will perish.

Conukkss appropriated $300,000 to purchase the ground where tbe battle of Cbickamauga was fought and convert it iuto a national park. The ground is mountainous and unproductive, covered with scrub oak and gravel, worth about $2 per acre, but tbe owners have put the price up to $15,000 a quarter section. The Government will probably have to condemn the property, pay a fair price and take possession.

"You pride yourself too much on being the Athens of Indiaaa, and neglect more important business considerations," was the remark of a stranger here tbe other day. There is much good sense in the remark. Too much attention is paid to home authors, poets and literary people, to tbe disadvantage of other more importamt interests. Alfrey's heading factory is worth more to us now and has been for years, than all the authors or literary people of any grade that have ever lived in Crawfordsville. Do you heed that new?

At the farmers' institute held yesterday at Crawfordsville, tbe reports of committees showed a prospect of a very large wheat crop, corn about 70 per cent., oats poor, and an abundant yield of fruit of ail kinds.—ludiauapolis News.

Many persons, no doubt, would be anxious to know how these wise committees can average next fall's corn crop at 70 per cent, when hardly any of it is jet over a foot high in growth, aud much of it is being replantedThose committees must have a peculiar horiscope to predict in advance the future yield of coru.

Tim celebration of the 115th anniversary of our national independence in this city occurs iu four weeks from to-day. By a union of action among citizens the celebration gives forth indications or success. It will not be after the usual stale order of such eveuts, but will aim to be made pleasant to visitors from abroad aud our own citizens. There will be plenty of music, exercises with tire eugiues by members of these organizations, lire works, etc. Citizens should see that it is made a success, and those from abroad attending carry away pleasant memories of it. Let the eagle scream, the banu play, and everybody aim to make pleasant tbe event.

Thk price of biuder twiue is much lower this year than formerly aud the farmers are correspondingly happy. The reduction iu the price is due to the removal of the tariff tax on sissal grass, man ilia and Tampico fiber, of which the twine is made. This is auother illustration of how the tariff affects cousum eis. The tariff was taken off of sugar aud we get cheap sugar. The tariff was taken off of the articles from which biuder twine is made aud farmers get their binder twine much cheaper. Now if wool were placed on the free list the people could buy a good quality of clothing at much more reasonable prices than they are compelled to pay now. The true theory ot legislation is to do the greatest good to do the greatest number.

So powerful is hum in iustiuct, that some of its suggestions become embodied in social and household customs. The people know and feel that at the begiuiug of the ppring sea' sou the system needs an alterative aud purifying tonie and stimulant. In all parts of the country it is the custom for the housewife to dose her brood with sassafras tea Among the simple remedies that our ancestors employed, this decoction has continued to hold its own. The demand for a spring alterative and tonic, however, is filled more efficaciously by S. S. S., which is itself imple as nature's remedial medicine should

Merit Measutel by .Suimmj**. The wonderful popularity of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) is the natural result of the tests which the public has put it. The merits the medicine have remained the same, bu the knowledge of the people with respect to its remarkable curative properties has increased until now there ii a demand for it wherever the English language is spoken. S. S. S. wa first offered as a specific for coutagious blood poison. For that it was, aud is, truly a specific. But it is now regarded, wherever its virtues are known, as a true specific for all forms of blood disease. Whole columns could bo filled with testimonials to this effect.
