ILLUSTRATED FANATICISM.

At au assembly of the leading memoers ot the United Presbyterian church at Pittsbarg last week six young ministers of that denomination were expelled for voting at a primary political election. If this is not the height of pious fanaticism we would be at a loss to know what to designate it. Good people of every religious deBtmination should at all times exercise the right of suffrage. The good citizen is more interested in good government than the evil miuded. In this free country the members and ministers of every religious denomination vote at elections, and if there is anything Improper or unchristian in the act it has never yet been made knowu, or the United Presbyteriuna are the first to discover it. It is remarkable to what length religious fanaticism will often carry men. These people who consider it wrong for their ministers to vote at an election would no doubt, if able, re-instai the old "blue laws" of Connecticut, which forbid men from si'ting in the same pew at church that their wires oceupied, forbid wife and husband from kissing each other, allowed nothing to be cooked on the Sabbath day and such like excessive tomfoolry and pious fanaticism. All religious belief should be founded on justice and good sense. All people who desire good laws and geod government will assist making them such. These Pittsburg people, no doubt, don't believe auy such thing. Elections, they think, sh«uld be in the hand9 of the ungodly, while their business is to sit off iu one corner and hope for the salvation of men without taking a practical hand in making them better. Is there any wonder there

so much wrangle at this time regard

ing the religious belief and government of churches arnoug the various denominations? Not any. Is it to be marveled at that heresy and heretics are increasing? Such narrow, contracted and illiberal acts like those cf the Presbyterians at Pittsburg last week create them.

PAUL DISBARMENT PROCEEDINGS. What to most people would seem to have been a useless and ridiculous use of the county funds was the allowance last week of the sum of $250 to two attorneys for their labor toward the prosecution in the disbarment proceedings against (i. W. Paul, a year or more ago. The public opinion is that it is entirely wrong so far as we have been able to learn and that those men should not bo allowed one cent. Their labor in the case probably occupied a day's time altogether, yet they were allowed $250 for it, and did nothing after all. No one was disbared from practice. Paul left the county and the matter dropped then and there* But aside from all this why deal out the tax payers money to settle lawyers' quarrels and wrangles? Who has or had auy interest in the welfare of Paul or auy other attorney aside from the bar itself. The public cares not how it might have been settled so that it were not asked to foot the bills? Law uiay bo quoted by the yard to justify the payment of this $250 to these men, but morally is it right to thus make the county responsible for private individual contentions among attorneys of this bar? Paul may have been a devilish mean man, but no more so in some particulars probably than some of his professional brethren.

But why ask the couuty to pay for his prose cution, and no prosecution was done? We believe a bad precedent has been Bet in allowing this claim of $250, aud the public believe it too. But "lr. Clerk swear Mr. Smith, Jones or Brown as to what such services—

THE MCKISLEY tariff promises to be fruitful of evil in more tiiau one direction, It promises to stimulate production excessively iu certain lines. This will be followed by strikes aud lockouts, au ever supply of labor aud a reduction iu wages. The Indianapolis News, which supported Harrison thus tells how works: "American workiugnieu," it saj's,'"should note that the pauper labor of Europe is flocking here since the McKiuley bill passed as has never done before. The protectionists organs have been chrouicliug the harm which the Mcttiuley measure was indicting on the industries of Euiope, causing this, that and another factory to close its doors or go into bankruptcy telling about this, that and another capitalist that was comiug here with his investment—actually boastiug of it! Boasting of the fact that the McKinley measure gave such an enormous bounty to capitalists by closing the markets of this country out Irom the werld, that it attracted investors to come here a get some of the goldeu stream that will be drained out of Americau consumers, this stream to be poured into the tap of Europe to tie expended iu living aud luxuries there. Meantime the pauper labor of Europe is rushing here as never cauie before to depress our labor market, make two men clamoring for a job where there was one, or three where there were two, Thus the McKiuley measure catches the masses comiug aud going. It whipsaws us all iu higher prices out of the bounty it thus yieldB attracts mere miiliouaires like bees to a ricli honey find and with the swelling tideof labor ing people setting in from the old world, beats down still further this item of expense to the capitalists. The millionaires knew what they were were doing when they passed the Mc

Kiniey law.

WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS.

There has rarely iu many long years been more favorable appearance for a large yield wheat iu this aud many neighboring counties than at this time. The yield of the grain, of course, cannot be told until threshed, but present appearance are decidedly favorable Tor a good crop. There is little poor wheat to be seen anywhere. It may be said the outlook is good every where. The work of cutting it, it is thought, will begin about July 1st iu most places, and the rattle of the binder will soon be heard in every neighborhood. If the yield this year comes up to the ftrll measure of expectation business during this fall in all lines of trade should certainly be active, and the never ending cry of "hard times" should for a time at least, cease. If the wheat of this year does not aid greatly in making money plentier and busiuess more active than we do not know anything that will. A good wheat yield in this agricultural country is better than anything else to stimulate and increase trade.

CHAIRMAN JEWETT'S circular to democratic officials, which the Journal was kind enough to print Saturday, is a sound and timely document. We indorse every word of it, and hope that the officials to whom it wa9 addressed may act upou it. It is as follows:

THE CRAWPORDSVILLE WEEKLY REVIEW.

DKMOCKATIC STATU CKNTHAI, CosiMrrruK OK INDIANA, INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Juue 2, is'.)l. DKAH SIR—Your attention is earnestly iuvited to the fact that by the operation of the tax law passed by the last legislature, the assessed value »f property has been largely increased iu most every locality iu some instances it has been daubled.

It certainly was not the purpose ot this law to actually iucrease in the amount of taxes to be paid by the people. They are already taxed to the verge of bankruptcy by the iniquitous tariff law, commonly called the McKmley law.

It is a', all tnnes the policy and endeavor of the dewocatlc party to reduce taxation. Great care ought, therefore,|to be observed, iu levying county and other local taxes, t* see that the foimer rates of taxation are reduced enough to avoid the payment of an iucreased amount of taxes simply on account ot the increased assessment. This is a plain and simple duty. It is coufidentailv expected that democrats charged witli the fixing of tax rates throughout the state will, when this matter is called to their attention, act promptly and in such a way leinove all danger of the people having to pay more taxes because of this recent tax law.

In counties where republicans levy the taxes of course no relief need be expected. The republican idea of taxation is to collect every dollar and squander the surplus. Very truly yours. C. JKWKTT,

Chairman Democratic State Committee. J. T. RILKY, Secretary.

SEDUCING THE SURPLUS.

A fort termed Fort Sheridan I as been established within a few miles of Chicago at which 1,000 troops will hereafter be stationed. There is a wonderful amount of hnmbuggery, red tape and extravagance in the army manage* ment of this coHntry and always has been. There is perhaps as much benefit in the establishment of this fort with this number of troops in the midst of civilization in it as there would be in the fifth wheel to a wagon, in fact there is probably no use of it whatever, but the ukase of the secretary of war must be obeyed and hence the expenditure must be made. Movements like these greatly aid in reducing the surplas of cash in the treasury. It has been no difficulty with them to originate schemes of this or that kind to spend the money of the people, and this move of placing 1,000 soldiers in a fort near Chicago is in keeping with thousands of instances equally as useless and extravagant.

ANTI-HARRISON.

A large number of disaffected republicans from Ohio, Illinois and other western states held a secret caucus at Iudiauapolis last week to inaugurate au anti-Harrison movement for presidential candidate next year. Mauy prominent men of the party were in attendance, and one man called attention to the fact that every member of the republican national convention was opposed to the re-nomination of Harrison, with the exception of John C. New, who is now holding down aS (O.QQLLper year office under this administration. TTie caucus choice next year, as indicated, was strongly for ames i. Blaine, but if not him, some man othor than Harrison. These men may create strong sentiment against Harrison next year, but strong enough to defeat him is doubtful, as the man with 100,000 office holders at his back is generally very hard to defeat and so will it prove in this case.

THE indiscriminate granting or pensions to tins or that alleged ex-soldier has created a big army of lazy men all over the country. Thousands of men who have no reasonable claim on the government for pensions, through the loose management of the pension department and the shrewd manipulations of pension agents, are able to draw $12, $1S or $24 every month regularly. This settles it. Work don't agree with them, and they are not going to follow it either. They sit arouud, while their wives and sons labor hard, and tell of hard fought engagements of the late war in which they were never in any more than were Blaine, Ingalls,

IiePew or other noted republican patriots. The thing goes on, the government treasury is depleted, aud these lazy camp-followers live at ease, caring for nothing, watching for nothing, only for regular pension day.

Gov. HOYKY is issuing his proclamation last week putting iu force the laws passed by the last legislature, all the counties of the state, having received copies of the act, assumes to pass upou the validity of that act regarding the redisricting a portion of the state. He is going beyond his duties in the matter. Whether valid or not is none of his business. The courts may determine that question, not him. It is a part of the campaign capital for next year lie is seeking to create by this act of his. Like most of his movements since filling the executive chair in auy matter relating to party, he has generally proven himself very foolish, ridiculous, bull headed, and no more so than in this instance.

THE gambling propensities of large numbers of tiie nobility of England, as brought out iu the trial of Gordou 'ununings in London lately, does not give any of those high ,in au thority in this country any particular reason to rejoice. Gambling has always prevailed extensively at Washington City, and senators,representatives, ministers to foreign countries and many other dignitaries have gambled for money, and for large amounts too. If it is disgraceful in one country it is in another, and before censuring the short coinings of people in foreign countries we should first see that our own record is clear.

THE Illinois legislature has passed what is termed the ballot reform law, a law similar in its import to the Australian system ot election management or the same as in Indiana. The hopes of republican leaders will drop in every state where they have an honest election system, and Illinois, which lias always been a strong, reliable republican state, will be looked upon hereafter as doubtful.

THK trustees of the Battle (iround Camp meeting Association are opposing taxation by the state of the property owned by it on that historic site. If, as is claimed, the property is not used for educational, religious or scientific purposes, it would lie well for the trustees to explain why it should not be taxed any more than a.farm or a house ami lot. should exempt.

THF, preference that has been given exsoldiers iu the appointment to positions on the police force at the city of Washington is to be discontinued, because the veterans who apply for appointments are old and incapacitated for the proper performance of their duties The years are beginning to tell on those who were the Nation's defenders in the sixties.

THIS Farmers' Alliance proposes to make a thorough canvass of the country far the dissemination of its prinoipales. President Polk says: '•Every state iu the Uniou will be actively canvassed by the best talent iu the Alliance, ia the way of speakers, lectures, and canvassers, who will fully explain the objects of the Alliance, aud what will be asked iu the way ot State and National legislation.

LAST year's appraisement of railroad proper ty iu Indiana aggregated $70,000,000. and the railroads will pay a state tax of $300,000 more than they did last year. Yet the falsifying editors of Republican newspapers are trying to cram down the throats of their former readers that the new tax law relieves the railroad companies at the expense of the former class.

HEN. ALOKR. ol Michigan, himself a candidate, favors, it is said, Hon. J. li. Blaine as the next nominee for president. It is somewhat strange you never hear of any one favoring Harrison for re-nomination except he is some one holding au office under this administration, or who has a cousin or brother in-law in sumo good paying position.

BOONS couuty seems forging to the front in the way of bloody tragedies. A half dozen murders have been chronicled in that couuty within the past two or three years, and on Saturday at Whitestown in that county,another occurred, a man named Farley killing another by the name of Stewart over a dispute regarding the rent of a house.

OVER 2,000 persons wear the blue ribtiou batge at Lebanon since Murphy, the temperance orator, held forth in that town. There must have heretofore beenau immense amount of whisky destroyed by its people, judgiug from the large number moved to repentence by Murphy.

AMONG the curiosities which shows never advertise, but which would attract attentiou would be mechanics or laboring men who have had their wages increas-d since the MoKinley bill went into operation iu this country. People would gaze on such curiosities with much interest

Condition vs. Theory.

Those who are iu lll-hoalth are confronted by a condition, not a theory, although there are numbers of people ready and anxious theorize about it. In ninety-nine cases out a hundred S. S, S. will do the work of reuo vation. In cases of indigestion, loss of appetite and general debility, this wonderful medicine acts with almost miraculous certainty. It restores the activity of the liver, purifies the blood aud builds up the system. As a tonic for young and old it is without a rival. Though it is powerful in its effects, the joungest or the oldest can take it with the most beneficial effects. S. S. S. has behind it a record of half a century, and is more popular as a household remedy to day than ever before.
