CITY EXPENSES
The necessity for 11 chart?© iu th complexion of the city government was never more apparent than now. A more incompetent, impractical and extravagant set of officials were ij.-vor oefore in the control of the city gov TDment. There are hundre.sof citiz 11s, both republicans and democrats, who believe this, and every weok has the alraost total incompetency of this council been manifested before their eyes. Taxes within the past live year6 have beeu increased almost 20 cents on the £100 valuation, are now 61.00 on the 6100. and with every prospect of it being further increased. Of a dozen of the operations of this present, city council take the oast Wabash avenue bridge as one sample of their management. This bridge, by the time it is completed, will cost the tax payers 610,000. Was there any use for such an extravagant structure, considering its location? Could not one amply sufficient and as permanent have been erected for one-half that sum? Did any body receive private dividends for making the bridge cost that large sum? The report of the electric light management at the last meeting of the council showed that the receipts for September were 6550.05 expenses, S3i' IS excess of expenditures, $213.23 cost ot each arc light, ifl.G5. Who pays this great difference on the debt eide of the ledger from month to month? The street commissioners' report showed that for two weeks past he bad paid out $S71 for street work. Are not the tax-payers shelling out pretty lively for this kind of work to retain the good will of a set of men hanging around the council chamber simply to get them to vote the republican ticket?
The residents of Main street must soon now step up to the captain's office and settle for curbing, and each man of them owning as much as fifty feet front must pay nearly 625. This added to his $1.00 per 6100 valuation for taxes will, without question, cause him to retain with warm recollection, the present city council that has brought it about, fax-payers, what do you think of it, and how do you like it? Show your feelings at the first opportunity by retiring every one of these minions who have financial ly distressed you, and place men in the council who will act for your interest alone.
THE PULL FOR GOVERNOR-
The republicans have ten or twelve candidates for governor and a very promiscuous lot they are. Very few of them are at all fitted for the important position, and some of them are perpetual offico seekers and have been for the past three decades. They have had little legislative experience, are only schemers and party workers, and what style of executives some of them would make it would be interesting to observe. Cumback, Steel and Doxey are among thom. The latter, if nominated, would get it solely on account of his "barrel," and not from any exhibition of statesmanship, or peculiar fitness for the place. Cumback, if chosen, would be selected solely for his piety, nothing else. He always held office or was working to g. one. Steele, of Grant county, has been a congressman, and did not cut much of a figure there. And they used to say many things of him that did not redound to his credit in the least. Tt ere are several other candidates out for the place, and on the whole they area fearfully and wonderfully made lot of specimens in the republican camp that want to be governor.
FAIRS DECREASING.
The indications of this year point to the fact that the institution known as the county fair, is losing its interest amoung the people and is destined to soon become obsolete. In Caas, Wabash, Madison, and a number of other counties, they have been abandoned and the grounds sold to persona for farming, or gardening purposes, and in others the exhibitions last year and thia have barely paid expenses for holding. It results, to a great extent, from the failure to give the people something new. They demand novelties and the fair companies cannot provide them. Balloons, bicycles, horse races, big pumpkins, varigated quilts, etc., have ceased to have drawing powers and the patronage in consequence drops off. The most feasible plan, probably, would be to suspend fairs altogether for a few years until the public appetite demands that they be revived. As it is now no fair association can guarantse in most cases to pay full premiums.

LOOKING BOTH WAYSThe State re 2an central committee just now is confused in seeking to shape vform of principles regarding th .holson temperanco law. They like to have it endorsed at their state convention, and then again they would like to condemn it. It is the work strictly of a republican legislature which last winter had a majority on joint ballot of about 7 and was able to pass any law it chose. Whichever way the party turns thia law confronts them as one for whose creation they are strictly responsible, liy approving it they antagonize many thousands of voters through the State, many of whom are temperate iu drink, but who despise a law which seeks to force them to be mural or 6eeka to abridge their liberties in ar.y manner whatever. On the other hand if they seek to condemn it, the ultra temperance people of the State, the poli,ical prohibitionists, scores of "Good Citizens Leagues'' through the Stato will at once antagonize tho party and war against it in tho coming campaign. This is the present situation that confronts the rdpublican managers at this time. Tho result of tlie Indianapolis election has set them to thinking. Iheir air castles of success seem vanishing rapidly and the prospects ahead are anything but encouraging. The voters at Indianapolis condemned the Nicholson law as will the voters in hundreds ot precinct's through Indiana Turn whichever way they may disaster seems to confrout them. The formulators of "principles" of tho party through the State are truly on hard Lines, but they cannot take no middle ground. It must be "for" or "against" tho Nicholson law.
Under these circumstances the prospects for success of the democracy at the election in Indiana in November of next year wouM seem decidedly encouraging. They must condemn in no vague terms a law which planes an espionage on every citizen, which dictates to him what he shall drink, which is as a spy on his daily action and conduct. It is a prohibition law in more respects than one, and is satisfactory to large numbers of the voters of that organization. The people can see to what extremes the republican party will go to in hopes of success—endorse anything. Democracy never did nor will endorse such measures, and its chances of success we coasider bright in this State next year, if it will but act with proper prudence in this matter.
INSURANCEXTRUST.
While the people are railing against trusts, syndicates, etc., it is strange that tho business ot personal property insurance has to a great extent escaped the general howl of condemnation. The insurance business, as at present conducted, is nothing more nor less than a trust and a very arbitrary one at that. These companies set the figures, all alike, through their aeents and if the individual desiring insurance does not like it and thinks the rates too high he can drop them and remain uninsured. He has no recourse. There is no competition in the business. The companies are all united in maintaining high prices—about 40 per cent, above rates oI two or three yeirs ago. Their agents fl'ill exhibit a long array of figures to prove to you that the companies b.-fore the advance in rates had been losing money, but who knows anything about the truth of them no one a?ide from the companies can tell. The truth of the matter seems to be that the compa nies are making money and making it fast off of patrons that have no recourse to prevent extortionate rates. What needs regulating now iB the insurance trust, and the nest legislature could do some beneficial work in that line if it will.
EWING ON THE SILVER QUESTION
Gon. Tom Ewing, formerly a distinguished citizen of Ohio, but now a law practitioner of Now York City, at one time prominent in politics, but now a private in the ranks, of the silver question says: "If wo could engage in a conflict, say with some great European power, perhapB the usurors would stop Bending out the country's gold for awhile. For a democrat who believee in the ancient principles and traditions ot the party there is but little hope. The party is controlled by the gold worshippers, between whom and the republicans there isn't the least difference of sentiment on the most vital question of the day. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Sherman stand for the same ideas in finance. The masses of the democratic party believe in the use of silver HB a money metal. If that could come to a square vote there is hardly a state in tke Union that wouldn't declare for 6ilver."
NO HEARING.
The Supreme Court overruled a petition for rehearing in the fee and salary law case, Friday. The case related to the feeB of county treasurers, and the original suit was brought by tho treasurer of Vigo county. The petition was based upon alleged errors of the Supreme Court in making its former ruling, in which it upheld the feo ana salary law
SENATOR SHERMAN predicts a majority of 50,000 or 60,000 for the republicans in Ohio next month, and the Senator regards the general political outlook as unfavorable to the democrats.
REWARD THE WORTHYIn dismissing republican employees of the city government of Indianapolis and roplacing them with democrats, Mayor Taggert is only carrying out a principle that should and will jjprovail among all political parties, "civil service reform" to the contrary notwithstanding. "To tho victors belong tho spoils" is an axiom that existed long before Cleveland was hoard of, and will prevail and will bo enforced long after he has departed from this valo 01 tears. No hobby, 110 protended reform can crush it out. Men who work earlj anil late for tho success of a party muni bo rewarded, and any sincere jartizan anxious for tbo success of his party and its principles, will aim at the lirst convenient opportunity to see that the) are. 'l'aggort is doing tho correct thing injpromptly rewarding party workers, his aim always to be or should be, that competent moil are selected, and if not dismiss thom at once, but not go outside tho party for material to replace them. Taggert is acting in this matter just as any sensible democrat placed in similar position should act.
THE THIRD TERM
BUGABOO-
There can surely bo nothing in the third term talk regarding President Cleveland. There are several reasons why no man could bo elected to a third term,among which are tho American people would unanimously almost oppose any such thing, no difference whom the man might be that would run for the office. Another thing is that Cleveland is now anything but populai with a majority of the democracy. They look upon him as too much entirely iu the interest of Wall street, or of eastern ideas alone. Again Cleveland knows the feeling of the parly fully as well as any one, and no doubt feels that bis days as a public man are rapidly drawiug to a close, and could not begin to poll anywhere near the strength of tho party if he were again a candidate. His reported candidacy is the wild imagination no doubt of some reporter, Cleveland does not for a minute entertained an idea of a third term.
CORBF.TT and Fitzsimons will not fight in Arkansas. The Governor of that State says so, and proposes to prevent it if tho militia of the State is called out. He has taken tho correct stand in this matter, and does not intend that his Stace shall be cursed by any such exhibition nor made the sojourn of 6uch a 6tyle of a crowd the "mill" would bring to the State should it have been permitted to come off.
