JUNE IS, 1891
N0N-PABTIZAN SUPERINTENDENT. Judging from the reports from ibe different counties of the State last week most of the county school superintendents were selected more from their political qualifications than their educational. This should not be, yet politics has been made such an important matter in this country during the last twenty-five years that nothing else seems to oe taken into consideration in the selection of officials of any grade or position. The educational abilities of the Superintendent, his quali'tes fer organize tion and uiauagemeut of schools, etc., seems to be a secondary consideration with the trustees in many counties of Indiana. There should be no politics at all in the business, and when a good superintendent is chosen he should be retained so long as he fills his position satisfactorily regardless of his political hue His [business is the educational interests of the country, not its politics, and whether the county is republican or democrat should not concern him. He has higher matters to look after. His work relates to welfare of coming generations. The thiug to be sought for above every thing else is the proper education of the younger class of the community, This he does by the selection or teachers, the enforcement of certain discipliu among them, and the strict observance of certain lixed rales in school management. The future wellare of the coming citizen is t« a great exteut in his hand?.
Next to the parents he does more than-anyone in forming the characters of the boys and girls soon to become men and women. Now to do his works pioperly what has his poll al proclivities to do with it? Nothing. "Vet such is the power of politics in this country now that the first tiling inquired of a candi date is his politics. It Is hoped that in future years they will soon become less partisan and more liberal than we of to-day, and that in the matter of school officials of any kind they will make politics a matter of minor consider tion. It is certaiaiy a state of affairs to be desired,
OPERATION OF THE NEW TAX LAW. Those newspapers attacking the operation of the new tax law, whatever they may assert cannot truthfully say that it is partial in the least toward auy class or set of the community, either rich oi poor, high or low. It is iudeed much fairer in its operation than was the old. law. There are not now the opportunity for dodging taxes that formerly existed. Banker, merchant, professional man, laborerall pay exactly in proportion to what they are worth, or what property they posse:-—no moro no less. Therefore the maledictions thrown at it are generally for political purposes only, or are done by those junfamilar with the new law and as shown by the returns from several well-known firms ia Iudiauapolis:
Last year Fletcher's bank was assessed at S130.0UJ. This year it is assessed at $:jp,000. This is an increase of 100 per cent. Nobody says it is unjust. The bank is uot goiug out of busiuess «n accouut of the raise.
Last year the stock of the Indiana national bauk was assessed at par—100 per cent. This year it is aasessed at 200. It is worth it. &..me of it is said to have beeu sold during tue last year as high as $2.25.
The great merchauts are making *ery different returns trom what they did last year. The New York store returns filo.OOO against SlCJ.OOu last year. H. P. Wassou & Co. returned $50,000 last year this year they will return about $100,000. L. S. Ayers it Co. jump from $,.)5,000 to $140,000.
Charles Mayer & Co. were assessed at **.- 000 last year. ThiB return was a very large one iu comparison with that of many other merchants. This year after studying up the law, Mr. Mayer made out his assessment list for $185,000. ..
The Meridian-st. jobbers show much bigger figures than they did last year. D. P. Erwiu &. Co. assess themselves $1 i0,000against!bl00,000 in lS'.M. Murphy, Hibbeu & Co. couie up from $117,000 to $179,000, A Keifer fc Co. report $St),000, against $70,000 last year.
The Dig retail clothing houses about double their assessments. The When and Model were charged on $40,000 each last year. This year their return iB about $80,000 each.
The same increase in assessment will doubtlt BS be observed in every city town and village in ludipua.
AN UNWISE SUGGESTION.
"A'few of our exchanges are suggesting the mine of Hon. J. K. McDonald as the uext democratic caudidate for governor in Iudiana. Mr. McDonald h?s been iu the past one of the wheel horses of the parly, but at this day we believe auy movement looking to his nomination would lie decidedly impolitic aud I'liwise. He has Leon one of the leaders of the party, but his day for official recognition is passed. He has, to some considerable extent, been rewarded for his labors iu tho past by the party, but younger blood is demanded. Our state always has been and will continue to be for years a political battle ground. There is an immense amount of politic lo tho square foot in Indiana. To fight the unscrupulous foe that we have requires youug, vigorous and aggressive leadeis. McDonald docs uot belong to this class any longer. He is fully 70 years of age, aud is eu'irely to* aged Tor any more strong political contest,.*. Aside from all this is the fact that the persoua!, vindictive and unwise conduct of himself in 1HS8 toward Gov. Gray lost Indiana to tho democracy that year. Had Gray that year have .beeu nominated for vice president, as he would have been but for McDonald, there would not have beeu enough "flUte pride" to have carried the state for Harrison in spite of the gigantic efforts put foiHi by the republicans. That letter of McDonald's on the eve of the convention is what lost us Iudiana iu 1SSS. Now to suggest his name for governor uext year in the face of all these things would seem to the cool political observer as decidedly foolish and nonsens^al, and is not the work of auy cautious and thinking politician.
E. 1' THOMI'SON for twenty years a deputy iu the Indianapolis post office was last week appoiutod post master of that city to succeed Wallace, deceased. The appointment waB a severe blow to numerous aspirants, naineiy Wildman, Hollaway, McGinnis, and a best of other perpetual office-seekers of the republican party in that city,
THE FORCE BILL NOT DEAD. The New York World speaking or the issues of the next campaign says: "The Fores Bill is not dead. If its desperate friends sought to revive it, afier the sweeping verdict of the November election, when or by what degree of popular condemnation may it be considered killed? It there 1* one leader of the Democratic party wise, vigilant and steadfast, entitled to speak with authority on this question, that one is Senator Gorman. We commend to the people his timely admonition."
I warn you that the issue made by the Force Bill has not ceased to exist. The President aud a great majority of Republican Senators and representatives urged its adoption and still approve Its principles. The judgement of the country upon the issue thus made will be again appealed to. But of the people of the several states are still free to select their own representatives I have no doubt of the triumph of the principles of the Democratic party. The success of the Democratic party will make sectional contests hereafter impossible, a result overshadowing in importance all other political considerations, and without which it is idle to talk of the future prospt-riety aud greatness of onr common country.
So speaks Senator Gorman. It is uotice to the south, it is uotice to the west, It is notice to the friends of free government everywhere, not to suffer themselves to be divided by trivial or temporary subjects of difference, lest the party which openly attempted to strangle the liberties of the country in the late Congress return to power aud revive and pass the Force bill, bearing in its embrace "a hundgred Mc" Kinley bills a dozen shipping bills untold subsidies, and every outrage upon this and succeeding generations which a conjunction of private greed with irresponsible and unlimited power might engender.
COUNTY ASSESSOR'S DUTIES. It is the duty of the couuty assessor to receive from the county auditor all returns of real aud personal property made by the township assessors, together will all assessment lists, schedules, statements, maps aud other books tiled with the auditor by the assessors. He will also make a careful examination of the tax duplicate aud all other records and papers iu the offices of the several county officers and list and assess at i'.s true cash value on the proper township assessor's books and to the proper persons a't omitted assessable property, including tax certificates, mortgages, debts, judgements, c'aims and allowances of courts, legacies and property in the hands of administrators, executors and other fiduciaries.
He has the right aud power given by law 15 township assessors for the examination of persons and property, and to make lists and returns ef the same. Before the tirst Monday after July 4 of each year he must make return to the county auditor of all township assessors' books, I'sts, maps, etc., together with such additional lists and assessments as he has made thereto, all of which will have the same force as if made by the township assessors in the origiuol assessment. It is also his duly to list and assess at any time during the year all omitted property that may be discovered. He will visit each township assessor duriug the mouth of April and May each year aud advise them of their duties.
THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY REVIEW.
DEMANDS ATTENTION.
If as has been alleged the appointing of deputy assessors has orteu iu the past years in this county beeu made through financial considerations iu which the principal has beeu pecuniarly benelitted then the attention of the proper authorities should be called to it at once. No assessor should he allowed to hold his position a minute who countenances or encourages such schemes. If it is an indictable offense and contrary to law the prosecutor and grand juiy should at once investigate such matters, and,bring each aud every man engaged iu it to justice. The law governing the election of and payment of assessors assuredly does not contemplate auy such thing. If an assessor will consent to such arrangements in order to better his financial condition, what is to prevent him for the same reason for a pecuniary consideration from reducing the appraisement on a stock of goods, the amount of stock in a bank, or the valuation of a farm?
Let this practice regarding appointments of officials be examined into thoroughly hereafter.
THE GREAT M0NUMNET.
The soldiers' and sailors' monument now uuder construction in Iudianapolis in height is rapidly moving skyward. Last week it had reached the heigbth of 205 feet. Twenty feet more of stone work is to be placed upon it when, so far as stone construction is concerned, on the monument itseir, it may be said to be finished, but on top of these stones is to be placed a metal turret of 18 feet in altitude. On the turret will rest the globe eight feet in diameter, and then the crowning figure, thirty feet tall. The total height of the monument will be 280% feet. The cost to the state and the G. A. R. for tins great work will be, it is thought, about $300,000. It will perhaps be completed in about one year more, and is tho tallest and most costly monument yet erected in the west.
AK I all tho accredited shrewdness of "Crawford,the great Chicago lawyer'Mn aiming to run his Midland railroad on wind and beating the men working for it out of their money he fiuds himself outwitted by a few determined fellowB about Waveland who showed theinselve3 able to hold iour aces while he with a Hush sought to capture the game. He has at last squared up with the strikers or made such orraugemeuts as were satisfactory and business on the line will be resume:!. Had he have aimed as industriously to square up in the first place tlm claims aga'nst the road as he hps eva.'e the payment of them the trouble and expenses would not have arisen iu fact the old adage "honesty is the best policy" is well illustrated in this e^e.
Thk attack made on the new appo-tionnient bill of t'.ie lpst legislature by the republican papers lias ninount«d to iiotl ing. The laws have all been distributed llrou vh the sUta and fie apportionment law ir. valid and in forco the lame r-s all tho rest. The attack on t!-n till arose simply rioin a desire to maun ".'.dure a little political capital, hut i'.3 elTtiL^ amounts to nothing. There is rothing unfair about it, in fact, it does not resume t!io first ci-,,-3 proportions of a gerrymander, there being few congressional or legislative changes i. ade in the Slate.
GKN. LKW WAI.I.ACB declines the republican nomination for Governor before it has been tendered him. From the material on band it is probable some one in the party can be selected to lead the forlorn hope next year, re°«vdgardless of tbis declination.
IK the money has been diverted to other uses as the REVIEW intimates so much the worte. If we »ra still paying for the State house the people want to know what I: aonie of the two cent levy.—Journal.
The extra state tax levie.l by the act of the legislature is for the purpose, as our neighbor, perhaps, is aware, of reuuci'ig a rge poition of the State debt, which has been accumulating for ten or more yeirs. The internal improvements cost the state several millions of dollars, the building of the State House alone, which is a part of this deht, beiug about $2,000,000. Regarding the two cent levy it may be well to state that republican officials had the handling of it for some years previous to the late state elections aud they may perhaps impart to our neighbor the information he seeks.
BOB INDKHSOL says that the man for the republicans to nominate for President in 1S92 is Judge Gresham. There is no doubt that Gresham is a diamond among ordinary bril" limits compared to DePew, Alger or even Ben Harrison, but that fact will defeat him for the nomination. He is not popular with the corrupt, office seeking rip? of his party in Indiana. He don't train with that grade of animals. He is a high toned gentleman, an incorruptible judge, an ideal American, and would not suit the New-Michener gang of republicans at all. With the present corrupt cmwd managing the republican gang in Indiana Gresham would not be in favor, and it would perfer his defeat if nominated.
A HARRISON PENSION.
President Harrison doubtless believes in seeing that his relatives are takeu care or while he is in power, regardless of how others may be served. Mrs. Elizabeth L. Harrison, the widower of the president's brother received last week as a pension the sum of $8,329 00. Her husband was a lieutenant-colonel in the army. He died with consumption in 1870. Fourteen hundred other pensioners on the day that .Mrs. Harrison received her $8,329.0J, divided $t)t),000, among them. The Commissioner of Pensions under President Arthur refused to allow it as did likewise Gen. Black, Commissioner under President Cleveland. It appears to have gone through without any trouble under Commissioner Raum aud the Harrison administration.
W. D. Owen, once a Cainpbellite preacher in this city, but lately a member of Congress from the Logansport district, has been appointed superintendent of immigration at a salary of $4,000 per year. He probably has found office holdiug much more remunerative than shepherd of a flock paying but $1,200 or $1,500 per year and will stick to the former calling. ...
For Over Fifty Years.
It has been saia that skillful advertising will accomplish wonders, and this is paitly true, for it is no uncommon thiug to see various nostrums achieve a brief notoriety in this way. But they do not out last the notices that herald them. Thus it is that the mercurial and potash remedies are constantly appearing before the public iu new disgui«hes. Adveiiising however, will not account for tho popularity that S3S has enjoyed for fifty years, nor for the fact that it has become a household remedy nor will advertising account for the thousands of testimonials that the people have given iu its behalf. Only the most substantial merit can account for the estimation iu which this wonderful medicine is held.
