Crawfordsviile, Tne Review's

RiMinii.ur Mate.

It is the intention of THE REVIEW to issue a special edition in honor of its fcirst appearance as a morning daily, It will appear Monday, Feb. 20th, containing eight pages of 56 columns, and will be made an occasion of many special leal ures. THE MORNING REVIEW will .seek not only to give itself a proper exposition, but will give tbe city a fitting advertisement. 5,000 copies of this issue will be printed, and those to whom they are distributed will mail them throughout the world. Crawfordsviile industries and reputation must be advanced in the march of progress and THE MORNING REVIEW will do its share to that end.

We will include in this issue a concise statement of facts relative to the resources of Montgomery county and the City of Crawfordsviile, which we sincerely hope will influence many to locate in our midst. It will contain a fund of information, and will make a splendid medium through which to let our friends throughout the country know what we are, and also what we do here. Special mention will be made of the many industries and business houses which are located here, as wel* as our prominent business men, and we trust they will all assist

Us

in making

this a successrul issuse. It will not be illustrated to any extent, nor will it be a souvenir edition, simply eight pages ot news paper, tull of information and interest.

The edition will be first class in all respects from editorial and typographical point of view. None but accomplished writers have been employed to edit the matter. They are clevergentlemen and should be received with cordiality in their task of upbuilding the city.

All of the principal industries and business houses will lie represented in this issue, which will be gratis, not one cent being demanded from anybody. All the REVIEW asks is that a number of copies be subscribed for, and that the names and addresses of people who are likely to be interested in Crawfordsviile be furnished, so that the papers may be sent out on their mission of publishing to the world all about the city. This is not asking very much of the varid interests of Crawfordsviile when the benefits to be derived are so great it will advertise the city as nothing else will. It will attract the attention of people who have capital to invest and be the silent messenger that will speak in eloquent and convi cing language of our historic city.

THE REVIEW recommends this method of awakening the country and the city, and appeals to the public spirit of all for support. Subscribe for all the copies you pay for, and send in your list of names and addresses, and we will do the rest. Let us spread the glad tidings of our beautiful city to all the world, and uiiike the beginning of the year 1899 one nit morial for our loyalty to our interests and future welfare.

and New Ideas.

CRAWFOHDSVILLE, IND., Feb. 4. '99. The defeat of the aoti-lynulnng bill, was probably as well as could have been done. The idea of holding the taxpayers of any county responsible for the wanton acts of a mob, to the tune of $5,000 without "benefit of clergy," does not look like just the proper thing. Mobs are generally made up of the worst element ot a community, and while we hear much about the "best citizens" heading such affairs there is nothing in it. The best citizens are law abiding people. While lynching is murder pure and simple, there is a cure for it, just as simple as its dofin ition. Montgomery county has never been disgraced by a Lynch courf, and the reason why is the metes our justice to the limit of the law. Montgomery county penalties for crime have been death and imprisonment for life in cases of murder and in smaller crimes justice ha6 always been satisfied. When strict justice is done in courts and by juries, Judge Lynch never convenes bis midnight inquisition, The Ohio law after which the defeated one was modeled was tested at Urbaoa this Other day, in a clear case, and the jury returned a verdict for the State. The law will now be tested in the Supreme Court as to constitutionality.

The man who believes that everything is lovely in the Republican camp of Montgomery County is badly mistaken. There seems to be leaders and would-be leaders, wheels within wheels, ways dark and tricks rain, contemplated, if we are to believe the Journal, and it is evidently sincere or it would not devote a column of valuable space to a man called "Davis." The Journal evidently looks upon this man "Davis"—we use the caption of the article—as a bad man, a very bad man, full of the ways of Quay, a chap full of the wiles of the old h. rpent, in fact a very dangerous "crit ter" to be at large. The fact that he is looRe in the Republican china shop seems to be a breeder of discord. Davis has alwu\s been a Repuoiican, has done things for the party which some other fellowb would not d•, and now the disposition is to kick him out into the cold and barren hence. With Davis and the

Republican party it seems to be a case of the "sucked orange."

The factions came together on the platform that Davis and his weakmindeii tool, Thomas L. Stilwell be removed from the councils of the party," says the Journal. These are tfruel thrusts at these brethren. It may possibly be that they were looking out for themselves, but politicians are never Baints. The NEW REVIEW would not be guilty of so accusing these two men. There are no halos about their heads, if that is what tbe Journal is looking for. But just why they should be pilloried is not so apparent.

Myron Reid is dead! Strange, erratic and peculiar man, he flashed like a meteor across the firmament and is burned out. He was at all times brilliant, but not always wise. He had a great heart which beat in unison with the heart of the world, and went out in Sympathy to the oppressed and downtrodden. He never made any display, but bis words rang like the blast of a bugle. He was not in harmony with tbe Presbyterian Assembly and his course as a minister in that church was stormy. As an independent preacher in Denver he was a success, and his work because of its epigramatic style and sharp ring made him widely known»

To know Myron Reid was to love him, and his memory will linger long in the hearts of those who knew him best,

General Miles still sticks to his original proposition as to the "embalmed'' beef, and asserts that ho has overwhelming evidence that chemicals were usedjin its preservation.

It is time now that some of the favored government contractors who lurnishthe bad beef to the army be arraigned before the powers that be. It is not fair to make Gen. Eagan bear all the scourging. He seems to be a vicarious sacrifice for the entire crowd.

It is asserted that General Gomez has had his leelings burt by some of the American commanders. Gomez will continue his foolisuneis, and "kick against the goadK," until he will find something worse than his feelings in jeopardy.

The disposition among the Republicans.leadeis and those who are not leaders and can never be leaders give the "marble heart" to Messrs. Davis and Stilwell, is not good politics, They are sticking to the party like bars, and endea.oring to play Roosevelt in reforming the city government. They may win out eventually, and these same other people will be inquiring, "Where are we at?" This paper is not in love with the political methods of these men, but an attack comes with bad grace from those who have profited by these methods in tbe past, and only see fault when the worm turns ap«! demands it share of the spoils,.

The Supreme Court has decided after due deliberation that a Justice of the Peace can decide a law unconstitutional it he so believes it to be. If this is the case Drgberrys all over the State will put on airs innumerable and the Statutes will suffer. There are Justices in this State who can hardly read the statutes and who do not know that there is such a document as the constitution, and aB to interpretating it's meaning, they could read the hinro glyphics on Cleopatra's Needle as in telligently. The decision iB all right in some cases, but in the majority, it will not do.

Microbes and the Legislature have been having a rough and tumble time. The poor microbe as usual got the worst of it, so far as noise went. ti.t

So Governor Mount is to draw 8600 per annum from the State Treasury to pay his house rent while serving the people as their Chief Executive 32,400 for the term. This is very nice indeed for the Governor. He will very likely accept the gift of the Legislature smilingly and qowingly. It's like finding it. By the way, why not just amecd the bill and give to every Countys officer from 8150 to $300 per annum for house rent, and raise the tax levy enough to pay it? There is just as much sfense in the one as the other. It may be cus tomary to pay the rent of the Governon but custom does not make it right. It is another step toward foisting on the taxpayers of the country the payment yearly for a lot of perquisites. The next thing will be a mansion for tbe Governor, and a home in each county for county officials. This is "expansion" with a big "E."

chain of evidence which ^connects the war department with the Chicago beef packers in that awful deal that resulted in the poisoning of our soldiers." The telegram indicates that the evidence connecting the sale of bad beef to the navy department should be suppressed. The telegram is published in fac simile by the Journal, and shows that dirty work was done by| somebody, and that the packers are endeavoring to shield Gen. Eagan.

KINQ CAUCUS

Settles the Political Fate of Our Own

John L. Wilson. •,

The Republican caucus at Olympia, Washington, Tuesday night, effectually punctured the boom of Senator Jcbn L. Wilson, by the selection of A. M. 1' oster, of Tacoma, to be Wilson's successor in the United States Senate. A part of the forces bolted the caucus, but enough were left to elect. There were fifty eight who stuck to tne caucus and the vote was cast for Foster. It takes 57 votes joint ballot to elect. John L. Wilson is a Crawfordsviile man, and he has a host of friends here who will regret his defeat. The NEW REVIEW only wishes that a Demoi rat had succeeded him. As it ie, our sympathies go out to him. John is a huBtler, and this defeat does not mean that he will go out of business politically, by any means. His successful opponent is a Massachusetts man 62 years old. and president of the St. P*ul & Tacoma Lumber Co., and a millionaire. Wilson did not have tbis latter qualification which has gotten to be an essential in a Republican legislative caucus.

Expansion vs. Anti-Expansion. Will be the great issue to confront the American people in the campaign of 1900. W. A. Muhleisen, manufacturer of the celebrated Hoboe cigar, is an expansionist in the business sense of the term. Tbe popularity of the Hoboe has forced him to extend his business into other states t^an Indiana. The factory is one of the leading industries of the city an$ gives employment to many union workmen.
