I IHARRISON'S CANDIDACY. It i* xnuewliat amur-ing to observe tin- actions of the friends of ex President Harrison whenever his name is mentioned as a probable candidal'? for president is That ho desires the nomination if lie can secure it there seems no doubt: that his friends iisire his nomination, with the pleasing prospect of "spoils" in the event of his election there is no question. Vou uever saw a republican but what would grab for an ollice quick if there were a chance of obtaining it. The party is constructed on an oflice seeking foundation, and from the highest to the lowest they are always ready to hand up their plates for oflicial nutriment. Consequently Harrison is ready to receive official honors and you will uever hear of him declining any tender of that kind. Like Orant he will accept a third nomination if his friends cau secure it for him. His friends being the News, Michiners and others who would expect to put money in ther pockets if ho were elected. At the same time his organs are saying that he is not an applicant for the place, but if tendered him he would not refuse. Of aourse not Harrison was an ordinary president and nothing more. His reign was quiet and uneventful because no great (|uestions arose duriug his administration. No questions of tinance bothered him and he foond a full treasury when his of ticial career begun. There were no strikes of any consequence among laboring men. such as at Chicago in which the powor of the nation was needed to suppress the corporations, the trusts the monopolists having] then a much firmerjgrip on,the people than now. Consequently his administration was free froiu trouble of any kind to a great extent. and his friends referred to him as a wise and able President, but itny other of his party would have uone just ae well under similar circumstances. In spite of all these things he will not have the smooth sailing for the nomination as before. Reed, McKinley, Allison, Lincoln and others are ambitious for the hijh honor of the nomination, anil their friends are just as influential and just as energetic as those of Harrison. It is getting, however. somewhat stale for the Harrison crowd to be denying foom week to week that he is not a seeker for the position when all signs indicate the opposite.
Where the political stratogy is in this, is lie developed. In the meantime, Harrison can continue to have himself interviewed, can make speeches in different darts of the country to let the people see hint' while his friends can continue to secretly lay the wires for his nomination.
ONE TERM 0SLY.
Mr. Hryan. a representative in Con gress, has introduced a bill making the time which any individuals can be elect •d to the offices of President and vicePresident, to consist of one term of four years only, after which they shall be inelligible for re-election. Tho bill is favorably received in Congress and may become a law. Such a law should have been in force years ago. It will prevent much scheming and corruption for ronomination. There is plenty of talent worthy and able to fill the high position of President. 90 there ii no need of the re-nomination of any man. In fact the law eould be very reasonably extended to all offices National. Stat* and county, and the people be none the losers therehv.

MIDLAND'S TAXES.
The railway line known as the Midland. or Henry Crawford's road, extend ing from Anderson to Brazil, has delinquent county taxes against itjdue fo the six counties through which it passes amounting to about i'JT.OoO. of which over Sii.000 iB due to this county alono.

THE TEEASUEY "BESEiWE.' Almost every day through the daily newspapers the public is infor-'ied of the amount of gold IU reserve in the S. .Treasury, the sum shipment to Europe, or gold added to it from ino Bale ot bonds, etc. The general public Knows little about the system of financiering in this oouQlry, or the plans adopted for raising luoney. or the different chani.els into whi^h it must How upon going out of the treasury. The people know very little about such things, in fact it may be said that we know the least about I the money questions of anything aris-
THIS republican member? of the next ensuing Indiana Legislature will have a hard road to travel. Among the bills which will be presented for consideration the following are notable:
A law requiring the Stat* to pay costs iu all litigation. fV To abolish the grand jury.
To pay magistrates per diem for the time employed. To increase homestead or property exemptions from $500 to $1,000.
To prevent a husband from transferring his property to his wife in order to escape payment of his debts.
To make the stealing of a sum less than ten cents a crime. To pay the expenses of members of the (irand Army of the Republic ami
oucnmpment at Louisville next year. To compel all road supervisors to cut all noxious weeds along the roadside.
To build town halls in townships for tho use of the public in holding caucuses. elections, public meetings, and magistrates' courts.
To require a license for applicants for position in steam power, to avert danger by incompetent workmen.
To reduce salaries and reduce all temptations permitted by the constructive fee system.
To abolish tho office of County Superintendent of schools. To have a pharmacy law enacted.
To have compulsory education. To require the teaching of scientific temperance principles iu the public schools
To amend the apportionment law so that an honorable and equitable appor tionment of the State for legislative and Congressional purposes shall be made.
REMOVING THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
An effort to remove the State I'nivers ity from Bloomington to Indianapolis has been organized and unless the peo pie of the former place awaken at once there seems every probability of it los ing this only chance it ever had to bleed the State treasury. To a great majority of the tax payers of the State it matters not whether it is located in the swamps of the Kankakee or on tho hills of Southern Indiana. It. like Purdue and the Slate Normal at Terre Haute, is nothing but a pauper institution, fed by tho State and which from year to year continues lo bleed the.State For the amount of money paid out for these institutions the returns are meaeer indeed. Institutions like DePauw, Franklin and Wabash, turn out as equally good scholars and citizens, and they do not co6t tire State a nicke). Therefore why continue to tax the pen pie to continue their existence. If the counties in which these institutions are located want them let them pay for their support themselves the same as secular schools are supported. It is an antequated and expensive humbug to continue these concerns through tax ation of the people. If Indianapolis will foot all the bills fo* the maintenance of the State Universitp let it have it, otherwise l?t Bloomington continue to have what there is to bn made from it as thai .1- about all there is in it io tho niattfl: of it* location.
THE WOMENS' SUFFRAGE SUIT. In behalf of herself and a nurrber of women of like views ai inclinations, Mrs. Helen M. Cougar has filed a suit in
taUoa out for the Tippecanoe Circuit Court to tost the tho amount of validity of the law which forbids the voting by women at State and county elections. She and her attorney* propose to show that the law iB unconstitutional, and will take the case to the highest court of the land if necessary to prove it.
Whore the people would bo made happier, the country more prosperous, the laws better enaeto etc if women were permitted the right of suffrage.
ing for discussion in the government. we have never seen nor heard of being We no know, however, that ever since (demonstrated. It may be that our idea! the republican party during the progress of the war adopted the p.an of issuing bonds and making them non-taxable most of the financiering haB been in the direct interest of the wealthy to the disadvantage of tho other portions of the people, and that the question of just what to do is still unsettled aod that no man equal to the occasion has yet appeared. The monied men have a grip on the country now and have had that is extremely difficult to unloosen. Our legislators, our congressmen, seem very generally in their interest. All this work of issuing bonds to raise gold to meet the demands of the government or to keep in "reserve" so much of the precious metal is nothing but tho scheming of Wall street to make money off the people. It is well planued and no difference which party is in power will continue to bo operated, until the people will begin to elect men who will not bow to the incessant dtiuiands of money sharks. The tiniiacial question seems to be in a deplorable state now with no favorite prospects ahead, yet tho people alone should settle it by selecting the proper men to act for them. We have no one who seems to know how to properly act in financial affairs. Suggestions generally made arise from selfish reasons—those for the people being generally crowded aside. There is a great demand now for practical financiers imbued with sufficient patriotism to act for the people.
of woman in her present position in this country is entirely too high. Ilere at this tune she has a higher position of influence, and more freedom of thought anda tion than in any other intelligent country on earth. Would she continue to hold it if granted the right of suffrage? Doubtful. Would our eh ctious be carried on iu any more honesr. sys tematic manner than to-day if women voted? Would there be any less cheat ing at the ballot box. bull dozing anil bribing of voters and corruption in general thai, is manifested at this time? Women in exciting election contests would assuredly Do as susceptiblo to •ril influences an inon. Would our taxes be any leas burdensome should women be allowed to rote, and would there be any less speculation in office should women suffrage prevail? Where it would be any advantage to the sex or the country in general for women to ex ercise the privilege of suffrage we cannot •ee, and a negative to nil these questions we believe, on mature deliberation will be given. Let the women who love home and its holy influences, remain there. Let the strong minded, the childless wives and old maids continue their idle vaporings. The world e*n move along best without them.
L00AL "LEX0W COMMITTEE" The "Lexow" committee appointed to investigate tho municipal affairs of New York City, has, during tho past four weeks, opened up a rich mine of corruption. From the ^testimony adduced fully half the officials should be sent to the penitantiarv for long terms of imprisonment. Many think a similar state of affairs will be found to exist in all cities of the country, Why RQt a '•Lsxow committee'1 for C'rawfordsviile?
It has been in the hands of one political party—the republican—for thirty years, and who knows what may be developed. if investigated? Thsre has always been something hidden regarding the purchase and establishment of the electric light plant here, and many republicans believe there was corrupt schemings in it, and are anxious for it to be brought out. They think, as they assert, that soma persons have had their pocket books much increased in size through it. Besides there may be other matters
Women Relief Corps to the national bactly need investigation. A "Lex-
ow committee" for Crawfordsville would do no harm if it failed even to do any good.
SALARY BY POPULATION. The republican Senators elect of the State legislature have met a number of times since the election, at Indianapolis, to talk over matters relating to their duties in the fnture, and many questions have been discussed by them. Among thorn is the matter of salaries to be paid county officers. The present plan is to pass a law grading county officer's salaries by the population, and to divide the counties of tho State into thirteen divisions, the highest populated counties paying their officers the most, and the next lowest division the officers to have a less salary, ana so on down to the last division. This may look veryfair and equitable, but ten chances to one some Judge will pronounce it unconstitutional. They almost always do, and it seems impossible to send any man to the legislature with brains enough to construct a law that will be constitutional. regulating the pay of county officers. It has been a vexed question for years and seems destined to so continue. If the next legislature can enact a law that will remain, and which at the same time will bo fair and equitable to the people and the officials, it will be entitled to much credit.
