AFTER

one hundred and thirteen

ballots the Delaware General Assembly failed to elect a senator and the seat will be vacant until HK)1. Congress has established the precedent of refusing to seat appointees of Governors. The difficulty experienced in many states this year in electing senators is a powerful argument for their election by the people. An election would then certainly take place, and the corruptionist vould have far less opportunity to win by his dishonest methods. The people would thus more nearly secure representation in the Senate and the legislator would be removed from a great and distracting influence.

SCOTT'S EMULSION is a fatty food that is more easily digested than any other form of fat. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health. You can get it in this way.

CLASH

the west aide

of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument at Indianapolis has just been unveiled. There is a decided sense of disappointment, even to those who are not artistic, and they feel that something is lacking. Those who know, and are able to express just criticism, say that it is meaningless and vacant. The group on the east side, considered in itself, is full of fire and expression, but is not well proportioned to the rest of the monument. In viewing the figure from the south or north the disproportion is very prominent. The great difficulty with the monument is that the ideas, artistic and otherwise, of too many people have been used in its construction. It is simply a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth, ami what promised to be a most beautiful and fitting memorial of our gallant Indiana soldiers and sailors, is marred to a certain extent by inharmonious conceptions. The slender shaft with its crowning figure and circular base, with the fountains is beautiful and ap. propriate. The element of simplicity is far more beautiful than the much carved figures that produce an impression of indistinctness. The monument should be completed, but when it is done, it should be an artistic piece of work which leaves little room for criticism, and ofjwhicli Indianans may be justly proud, so long as it stands.

The County Assessors. The countv assessors of the state met yesterday in Indianapolis, for the purpose of discussing the laws under which they are to operate, and thus secure concerted action. Governor Mount was made chairman, and made a speech in which he dwelt at some length upon the fact that much personal property is not listed for taxation. and thus an injustice is done to the owners of real estate. He urged that all property whether real or personal should be listed at itsrealvalue, not a foreed sale but a fair rate on the market. This would be just.

Thomas Buskirk of the state board of tax Commissioners discussed the new mortgage law. He felt that it would be necessary to test the constitutionality of the law, as it is seriously questioned. When it is generally understood that $700 may be exempt by the proper process, there is no question but that an immense iiim of money will thereby, escape taxation, or double taxation as the Governor considers it. Other speakers considered the act. class legislation, therefoi unconstitutional. The assessment of private banks was also considered: likewise Building and Loan.

new issue. The Senator from Ohio is a very important factor just, in nv, and the good President generally conceded to be "in his hands." There is no room for speculation as tu the meaning of this.

It was a very busy day with the assessors, and much of value was brought out. The great lack of uniformity in the listing of property which has prevailed until recently, worked great injustice. The present system will greatly obviate that difficulty. The better understanding which the assessors obtain of their duties by their discussion, secures a fairer assessment to all classes of property.

Another Decision.

United States District Judge Bak«r has made an additional ruling in the bankruptcy case. The first decision held that the federal bankruptcy law could not be infringed upon by state assignment laws. He further holds that the federal court must adjudicate alleged fraudulent transfers, which have been made before the filing of voluntary petition in bankruptcy. The interference of a state court is held to be contempt. This decision is very important to persons seeking relief under bankrupt laws. The transfer of property prior to the filing of petition may be questioned, in the federal court, and is of special interest to such preferred creditors. It takes the matter entirely from the jurisdiction of the minor courts.

A fVistory.

The Kev. Ed Biederwolf, now chaplain of the One-hundred-and-sixty-first Indiana regiment, is reported to be preparing to write a history of the regiment. He has found time in the intervals of his duties clerical to exercise his talents literary, and has beguiled the tedium of the soldier's life by keeping copious notes

sor of Political Economy,

the

details of such existence. The "History" will doubtless lie thrilling, coming from his pen, but must necessarily omit the bloody truths of real old war, as the regiment has never lx'en in action. The monotony of camp life is proverbial and upon what material the brilliant imagination of the author may feed itself, will le revealed when the work appears.

QUIRER

of the filling of a cross-petition

in the Castleton divorce suit by Mrs. E. Drexel Castleton was news to the people here. Mr. Castleton was seen by

representative this

afternoon, and said. "I deeply deplore the sensational features of my unfortunate marriage toMiss Oakalla Hanna, and most indignantly deny all charges contained in Mrs. Castleton's answer and cross-petition to my divorce proceedings now pending in the Common Pleas Court.

Mrs. Canine Dead.

Mrs. Martha Canine died yesterday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John L. Goben, at Chicago. The remains will be brought back to this county and interred at Union Cemetery near Waveland. Mrs. Canine was one of the oldest citizens of the county and has many friends who will regret to hear of her death, though it was not unexpected.

Stand up and Answer.

EDITOR MORNING REVIEW—As

110

all

questions whifch in anyway reflect on the wise statesmanship of representatives of the republican party are treated with derision by our local administration organ, and as one honestly seeking the light does not fancy being held up to ridicule without cause, we often refrain from asking questions, which if properly answered might be of benefit to the entire community, The Journal published in its columns a short time ago an editorial which in substance was this "The best evidence that the legislature was a good one is the fact that we hear

words of censure

from the opposition."' Now, we had two republicans representing this county in the legislature, Mr. Scott and Mr. Artman, and on tin? vast majority of important measures they voted differently. Not having kept the records of their votes it is impossible to state all the differences of these two gentlemen, but with your permission will submit the following.

The Winfield anti-Trust bill." Mr. Artman voted for it. and Mr. Scott against it. when the trust had just completed the deal whereby the largest manufacturing plant in our county was destroyed, and [many of our citizens thrown out of employment, homes partly paid for by hard labor lost, aud a glowing section of our city practically ruined, and citizens trembling for fear the hand of dishonest capital will remove the factories which still remain.

The two cent fare bill." Mr. Artman voted for it. Mr. Scott against it. Mr. Scott made through the Journal his excuse, for it was an explanation that the laboring men

011

the rail

roads asked that the bill le defeated, and also that the roads were all having a hard time to make expenses, when we have been told by all the press of his party that the railroad systems never in their history had such a large business. In fact were compelled to use any old rolling stock to handle the products of the farm and factory. "The Shea Express Bill." Mr. Artman voted for it

Mr. Scott against''it. There was a bill whereby the individual would be compelled to pay the legal rate of int. for the use of money, and commission, aud other charges could not be collected- Mr. Artman voted for that measure, Mr. Scott against it. and it was shown in our Court only a few weeks ago that over six thousand dollars had been received as attorney fees for collection of notes held by one money loaner of our city, and all in two years, which in itself shows the justice of the law.

1 a-

The Election law was voted for by both. A disgrace to the state. A stain forever. That men under the sanction of law. and posing before the community as gentlemen, with pockets loaded with money, can buy the right of a man to vote his sentiments, and they lie free from punishment. The theory that the seller is the only guilty party is monstrous. He might stand on the corner until the day of doom, and if the gentleman with the loaded pocket and smooth tongue, would not approach him and tempt him, no wrong would be done.

Disfranchise them both forever, is the proper and true motto. Now Mr. Editor will you please ask the Journal which of these gentlemen voted properly and in the interest of their constituents, and which thej- would point us to with pride as representing Republican principles?

OLD ANXIETY.

The Wrong Oil.

Two belated travelers who struck the town yesterday with the intention of hawking harness oil, partook of deep potation of the oil of joy preparatory thereto. The police, unfortunately, were on hand and made the twain the unwilling guests of the city for the night. This morning they will call upon his Honor and adjust the slight misunderstanding between themselves and the municipality.
