SUING FOR DAMAGES. .. It has been the custom among many persons who, through their own carelessness are sometimes slightly injured by the trains on a railway to at once enter suit for a fabulous sum of money, expecting the company to come down handsomely for the small temporary inconvenience to which they have been placed. These styles of law suits are becoming quite unpopular. The public is looking upon thom in many instances as attempts at black mail, and in most cases have little or no sympathy for persons instigating them. In many cases it is the work of attorney bunting for a big fee. Tho plaintiff, if he secures a judgment of S50, S100 or 81,000, must give one-half the sum to his attorney. The plaintiff does the bodily and mental suffering from the "injury" for onehalf the amount for which the railway company may be blel We have obobserved that quite often upon a searching investigation in many of these cases the plaintiff receives nothing aud the attorney is without a fee. The railway company may be cursed for its carelessness or the want of vigilance or care on the part of its employes for an accident to person or property, but as often the fault is not with it. When it is, and is proven, there is little trouble in receiving a favorable verdict. Many railways when tho responsibility for an accident to an individual is apparent, promptly settle without a prolonged contest. The Monon did this four years ago when four porsons were lulled and about lifty injured in the disaster north of town. In fact, wo believe, railways are as disposed to do the fair thing aB an individual where the matter is plain to thom that they are responsible. They will not, however, be black mailed. Neither will any individual of good sense. Hence many suite against railway companies for vast sums of money fail quickly when investigation as to their cause is made.
POST MORTEMS.
The quick disposition made of the claims of five physicians of Fountain county for holding post mortem examinations on tho body of Clara Shauks is a precedent which should be hereafter followed. In two-thirds of the instances when post mortems have been held it ha& been an expense for nothing, a waste of tho public funds and done to satisfy the senseless clamor of a few exI cilable fools to be found in every neighborhooil. In cases where a post mortem I is necessary one physician is enoughi and his fees should be regulated by law. lie should not be paid such gigantic fees as are generally presented to the commissioners for payment. One man is enough to use the knife and scalpi 1, and give forth in learned words aud scientific phrases his knowledge of the case, lie should be paid for it, but not in extortionate amounts. The Fountain county physicians, tive of them, wanted $150 each. It is questionable if any of them make in a month's time over that amount in their practice in good solid cash. They were employed in this caso less than a week. These fees were not paid and probably never will be.
A DEMORALIZED COMMITTEE. The republican state central commi tee is having a merry war among the members comprising it just now, which bids fair to wreck the g. o. p. so far as Indiana is concerned. Every man composing it is hungry for office from chairman on down to the entire crowd, and are exceedingly jealous of each other. They all expect, and intend to have something if possible in tho event of a of a triumph this year. This greed for
MAKK HANNA, business manager of tbo McKinley boom, keeps a small army of lieutenants in the field buying up delegates, while he, with a few chosen men, roams the country visiting the manufacturers of easieru cities out of whom he "frys the fat" which keeps the buyers in money. lie tellz theru that unless Mr. McKinley is nominated and elected they cannot expect any protection from the government that instead of people being taxed for their benelit, they will be compelled to rely on their own resources. On the other hana, if McKinley is elected he will see that a high tariff law is enacted, which will bleed the purses of the laboring men to swell the riches of these wealthy manufacturers. By this mild system of black-mailing, plenty of the "fat" is "fried" out of the wealthy corporations and McKinley has rmooth sailing on the pelitical sea with regard to the nomination, but he will run against a snag at the polls which will leave him and his party a floating wreck for the people have already said that they do not want any more McKinloyism.
AN
investigation through its correspondent by the Cincinnati Enquirer from every part of the United States convinces that paper that the free silver sentiment will prevail at the national democratic convention at Chicago. No reason why it should not. Why can we not have money matters just as thoy were before 1873 when silver was demonitized. The only reason we know of is that if mutters now were as they were then the speculators in gold and government securities could not make the money that they now do off of the people. That class demands "sound money" as thev term it, everything according to a gold standard by which thty can flourish best. Silver was "sound money" before 1S73, wby is it not now? If bimetalism was the correct thing in this country up to 1873, why should it not be now? Do you see from a tlnancial point of view any difference between Cleveland's views and Sherman's? Not any. Both run in the same groove in the monetary
tion.

REPUBLICANS of sound 6ense in the city will see no party advantage in one half the city council being democratic, but they will see to themselves many benefits to their pocket books, if nothing more. Had tho council have been thus politically situated a year ago, no extravagant 612,000 bridge such as that on east Wabash avenue which tax payers must pay for would have been standing, but if erected at all by the city, would cot have cost over half that sum. No expensivo "Trilby" road roller would have been purchased because there is no use nor economy in it. The Main street property holdors would have had no curbing to pay for now because in these close financial times the improvement could have been postponed until such times as people could be better able to pay for it. A council equally divided politically would stop much of this contemplated extravagance, denominated as improvements.
CONGRESS, it has said, has determined on June l3t as the timo when it will adjourn. So far as the public has beon benefitted it could have done this mouths ago. The country has had enough of it long ago. It has beon a worthless body from the start, has been characterized by rank partisanship and a spirit of political scheming. If it would remain adjourned for two years to come there would be nothing lost, but much gained.
A CHICAGO paper says it begins to be evident now that the silver wing of the democracy will have much to say in tho wording of tho platform at tho coming national democratic conversion. That is just what it should do. It should indicate that the people should have as much to say in shaping the financial policy of this government as the gold bugs and money sharks who constitute a Bmall portion only of it.

THE State republican political ring, hanging arouud the hotels mostly of Indianapolis and exceedingly hungry for office, see little chun^* for themselves, if their old boss. Hanismi, isn't the nominee for Pre6idoui Notwithstanding his plain letter of a few wetkb ago, when lie positively dtcliued the use of his name for the oftii:'1, these hungry fellows still hold out the hope that by some mode or manner his name may be suddenly sprung upon the convention and carried through success-
place by all hands is creating dissension the time, and tMy. Vain hope! The day of dark
and anger almost all harmony is tho last thiug thought of Their chairman, Gowdy, is a cheap, pot-!Il0v ty politician from Rush county, who, aside from the political work of a township, probably knows little or nothing about politics, His ability seems best in creating troublo among his brethren and wore it not for tho demoralization already existing it is probable the committee would throw him overboard at once, and select some one who knows something about running the state political machine. With a harmonious committee the democracy in this State can easily reap a great advantage this ear over tho dissensions of the republicans, and no doubt it will be done.
horses at conventions is pa6Bed, we befor some time to come. The men named such as McKinley, Reed, Allison or Morton, are tho only ones, we believe, who have any chance and one of them alone will be tho nominee. Harrison has certainly indicated in as plain English as he can command that ho does cot desire tho nomination, is not a seeker for the position. This does not satisfy the hungry horde of State republican politicians. They see no chances for raids of the government treasury through consular positions, placos in tho interior department, revenue and pension jobs. SLould McKinley or Reed be nominated they will have other friends to reward other than the Indiana crowd, and will undoubtedly do ir. It is sad to contemplate, but so far as rewards in the way of official positions a:-o concerned, tho republican schemers t.f Indiana will receive very little comfort from the incoming administration.
BIG COUNTY DEBT.
We have not the exact figures, but hear it said that the debt of Montgomery county at this time is about $80,000. If true, it is somowhat remarkable, and the county commissioners should be asked to explain all about it. Aside from a few bridges built there have ueen no improvements for the county under way for a number of years. No new roads, no new buildings aside from the orphans' home have been b-ilt, we believe, we can'safely say, for over three years Therefore, why such a debt? By anything like careful management it would s*.em that this county by this time should be out of debt instead of carrying numerous amount of obligations. Those who may be seeking repominatiOQ or any new candidates will
be expected to explain satisfactorily tJ all inquirers why Montgomery county is not out of debt and the rate of taxation reduced. Tax payers desire to know all about this, you know. .v
THE trial of Jackson for the murder of Pearl Bryan, at Newport, Ky., is now undei way, and may continue for several days, it is questionable if the evidence will convict him, but it is quite likely if the populace has an opportunity that Jackson's fate will not be in doubt very long. Those Keutuckians generally act very promptly in such matters, and they certainly would in this case.
OVERTOWERISG onvy and jealousy of business opponents frequently makes a great fool of an individual and causes him to do many foolish and ridiculout things. Ho rarely sees what a fool he is, and his conceit prevents him from ever finding it out. A detective may set him to thinking, but after the detective is gone he assumes his old ways of transacting business.
There is more catarrh in this section o? the cuntry than ali other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on tho blood and mucous surfaces of the system, They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fail to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

Hood's Sarsaparilla has achieved groat success in warding off sickness which, if allowed to progress, would have undermined tho whole system and given disease a strong foothold to cause much suffering and oven threaten death. Hood's Sarsaparilla has done all this and even more. It has been taken in thousands of cases where thought to be incurable, and after a fair trial has effected wonderful cures, bringing health, strength and joy to the afflicted. Another important point about Hood's Sarsaparilla is that

cures are permanent,
because thoy start from thesolid foundation of purified, vitalized and enriched blood. But it is not what we say but what Hood's Sarsaparilla does that tells the story.
