STRIKES FROH THE SHOULDER. In a column article in the New Richmond Enterprise a correspondent from Crawfordsville signing himself "Hard Times" strikes out from the shoulder at some of the trustees ef this county. We make the following extract from a portion of his article: "The impression of the writer is that there bas been enough mjnej foolishly fiquandered by trustees in this county during the last twenty years to build and suitably furnish a new school house in every school district.

As matters now stand there seems to be but one way in which to stop this worse than foolishness, and that i9 to compel by law trustees to publish at intervHls an itemized statment of their expenditures. We know that when ibis is suggested to them, they pretend to bo very economical, for they tell us, 'it would be a useless expense to the township'

Such mock economy comes with very bad grace from a class of office holders that a traveling man for an Illinois school supply company branded with dishonesty when he said, 'There are not forty township trustees in the state of Indiana that Icarnot ouy with a suffiaraouat of rebate.'"

This county has had in Dast years •otne very poor timber in the way of trustees we know nothing about any of those at present acting in that capacity. The tri stees, as this correspondent says: "Should be forced to publish regularly a full account of their business, where the money is reeeived from and where every cent goes to. If any of them, from alleged motives of economy re fucses to give publicity to his official work, the fact that he may thereafter •be reviewed somewhat with suspicion should not surprise or anger him. The people who p«y out their money for schools, roads, courts, etc., have a right to know just how it has been expended.

That is their right whether it conforms with the IdeaB of the trustees or not The cost for such publication cannot be at the outside limit over —and roany trustees would advance this from their owa funds rather than lie under •UBpicion ot wrong doing.

ADJOURNS NEXT WEEK. Ths state legislatures adjourns next week. From appearances it looks now lifce the building and loan question will remain just about as it has heretofore, and people will continue, who patronize many such institutions to b« gouged by "expense fund," "interfst7' with drawel, etc., as formerly. The lobby in the interest of the proposed increase of fees and salaries of county officers, it would seem, is liable to fail in it-, mission, and the pay of such officials remain the same as it has been. The educational trust which State 8upsrintendaot Greetin» sought to have creat ed failed to become a law and was knocked completely out. ThiB legislature has had many important measures brought before it, an* has seemed to have beeu fairly industrious and ener-Kftt-e, but has been cursed^with lobbies *n every interestjwho gieatly impeded legislation and ^prevented it from enactment much that will! have to be omited,.

THK State legislature^adjourns nex4

week. Tbisjwith the prospect of an early spring^andj increase of business should tend to driv off the blues.

THEY DON'T LIKE Hin. It ie stated that many politicians of his party-3o bot like Gov, Mount. He has taken, certain firm positions on maajr questions coming before the legi 3 lature and quite often has used his pen in vetoing some of their pet schemes for contemplated raids on the State treasury. We are pleased to hear this. Whenever the politicians do not like an official it is simply in nine cases out of ten because he won't countenance their intended theiveries. If he will permit them to make a tool ot him they admire him. The fellows that do not admire the Governor we observe were clamorfor a change in the metropolitan police bill, wete on the side ot the street railway against the greater interests of the citizens ot Indianapolis, were strong advocates of a change in the law regarding the pay of county officers, etc. Where is the man of honest and out spoken intentions that would care a curse for the respect ot such men? It is a credit to have the enmity of politicians of that kind at all times. The people of all political parties will applaud and encourage any official who aims to do right by them, and. considers thair interests paramount to those of time serving, dirty scheming officeseeking politicians. The Governor cun feel assured that hie neighbors and acquaintances in Montgomery county, of all political complexions, approve his work thus far in seeking to kill off the numerous pet schemes of political job. bers, and will continue to applaud him where he acts in the in erest of tho people.

FOLLOW THE LAW.

It is re port dd that secret associations known as the Law and Order League have been formed in all the townships of the county, whose mission is to watch saloon keepers and whenever they violate any ot the provisions ot the Nicholson temperance law to swear out affidavits a.alnst them and have them promptly prosecuted. If men engaged in the sale of intoxicating|liquors would pay closer attention to a strict observance ot the law in all its provisions, in the loug run they would come out much ahead financially as it is some of them have to dacce attendance at the courts of the city or county almost every week.

The law is plain and explicit, why not follor it and keep out of trouble? The law is particular in its injunctions to not sell to minors, to close at 11 p. m. and to not sell on Sunday. A conscientious saloon keeper can easily, if he will, obey all these, yet many of them in their greed will violate this notwithstanding and run the risk of arrest and fine, and which frequently vastly exceeds all the profits cf this contraband system of doing business. This kind of work creates business for Law and Order Leagues. There are some saloon keepers in Crawfordsville who have been in the business for many years whose names have never appeared on tue record of any court doeket. They follow the letter of the law, never violate it, and are never in trouble with the minions of the law, and financially are succeeding in their calling. If this other class would follow their course Law and Order Leagues would disband from failure to have anything to do.

CHEAP BIOGRAPHIES, Some money maker desirous of drawing the cash out of the members of the legislature, flattered most of them into writing biographies ot themselves, and theu published it in book form for the edification of the gillies who contributed accounts of their greatness. For instance, Senator Gill, the populist member, sets groat store by the fact that his people bad nothing in the beginning H'*» biography tells how the family] with 10 children, lived in one room of

OP week da) and a calico dross for stale occasions." Gill either furnished this information or wrote the article about himself for this book. The public of tbis county care very little for Senator Gill, and look upon him as small potatoes and orly one in a bill. His being a Senator is the result of an accident, and the people trust they will not occur often. We look next with thrilling interest for a biography of Representative McCrea, the sage, philosopher and ex-trustee of Coal Creek township. It may be blood curdling to read it, but by cau ion you may get through tl pages of the book relating to him without going into spsams.

THE AGONY OVER.

The much advertised inauguration ceremony is over, and McKinley is at the helm as president. The foolsv fluDkeys and office seekers have crowded into Washington City by the thousands, and have spent their money in great quantities to Bee the show, which like others before it did not come up to the advertisement. The public through the papers were kindly informed Qf the style of Mrs. McKinley's shoes made for the oeeasion and the cloth of the suit for president, the color and breed of horses used when the inauguration ceremonies took place, and all the otber guab, rot and humbug deemed necessary, to deicribe the affair. The common people he ?e little interest in such affairs. They interest flunkies, monkey aristocrats, and noa-working people who •re aiming to live off ot other people's labor. ,„•.{•

CUBAN WAR TALK.

It is well not to believe all the rumbrs of war and cruelties coming from Cuba, oor to condemn the Cleveland administration for its seeming indifference to matters relating to it. There are many loud mouthed patriots in this coun try extremely anxious for a war with Spain over Cuba, although if the test were applied they would be the last ones found to enlist. They would be perfectly willing for others to shed bluod, but not them under any circumstances. Many of these reported cruelties on the part of the Spanish author* ities are exaggerated. If an American goes to Cuba in the interest of the insurgents, and does everything within his power to do so he has no reason to call on this country to protect him if the Spaniards give him rough treatment.

It is very probablothat many Americans have been doing just that way and are receiving the treatment naturally to be expected under such circumstances. Spain does not desire to be embroiled in a war with this country, and is not seeking it, but would be weak indeed if she did not aim to stand upon her rights. If the McKinley administration is wise it will keep its hands off, unless absolutely compelled to act otherwise.

WILSON, ot the Indianapolis People, and Dunlap, of the Chicago Despatch, are both compelled to serve terms in the penitentiary, for publishing for months and months obscene matter in their papers. They both have been fighting off their doom as long as possible, but it is no use. To the penitent, iary they must go. It is a fit punishment to them for their dirty work.

IHE

superintendent of one of the

State insane asjlums complains of the small amount of the appropriation (190,000) to run the one he is managing during the next two years says the buildings are over crowded now, and not enough money is furnished for the purpose. The only way apparent to avoid this unravorable condition of affairs is for the people to stop becoming insane for a few years.

Now FOB prosperity, that the advance agent has been advertising to get here just EO soon as McKinley had hold of the reinB of power. The American peo pie are in prime condition at this time to Btand a good big flood of prosperity. However, we still telieve they will have to wait for a considerable time yet before they see or experience prosperity to any degree.
