A TRUST.

It is Said That County S«ierintend

ents Lesra Wisdom Form Passing Cvents and From a

little Trust of Their Own.

Rumors have recently been rife, and strange whisperings have been borne ^abroad from the meeting of the northern Indiana teachers' association held a!t Ft. Wayne, that the county superintendents there assembled did secreifcly enter into a secret compact wherein they display porcine propensities reprehensible in the extreme. It is .nothing less than the formation of a trust or close corporation, wheieby they agree to take advant-ige of the new law which provides thitt only persons holding thirty-six month licenst's, professional or life state licenses, or present incumDeirts are eligible to the office of county superintendent ol schools. The number of .persons who are in possession -^.'f such !coveted document's is usually quite I small and the scheme of the.se superintendents is to keep it so, thereby ri'rfitly enhancing their own -chances of election oeing the only available material. The plan is beautiful as politics and "sikifc" as the proverbial oksngi nous extract from the flesh of the animal they assemble iu action.

Inasmuch as the mantel of superintendent of schools, through fate of course, often falls upon the shoulders of sonin small bore politician or willing wire-puller, rather than upon the man of educational qualification, the chances for improvement in the school system of many .counties for the nest four years grows ever smaller and beautifully less. Therefore what was doubtless intended to be a measure of great wisdom and a means of raising the standard of superintendents will be practically inoperative for four years because of this clause. But having "practiced" for one term of course a superintendent ought to be fully qualified to deal out educational nostrums with impunity. And still there are people who will object as there are people who will object to anything. At present it would be a poor superintendent indeed, who would not know enough to refuse to grant a three years' license.

A BIO TIHE.

The Anvil Strikers and Carriage /lak­

ers to Have a Picnic.

The blacksmiths are hard working citizens, but they love their fun as much as tin.: man who plucks his "kale seed" from the vines of professionalism. These men are jolly fellows and believe in being sociable among themselves when time affords opportunity. They are desirous of becoming more closely united in business, to become more friendly and to resent the encroachment of the giant octopus that has increased the price of iron while they get but a dollar for shoeing. In union there is strength, and the men with the brawny muscles are striving to organize themselves substantially. The MORNING

REVIEW as a friend to honest labor, is pleased to announce their progress along this line and a big picnic that will be held in the Crawfordsville fair grounds on Sunday, June 11th, at which time the tie that binds will receive additional strength. Elaborate yreparations are being made for this occasion as a result of two meetings already held by the horse-shoers, blacksmiths and carriage makers of the city. At a meeting held in the Coolman blacksmith shop Tuesday night committees were appointed as follows:

Executive committee—Walter Coolman, Harry Billraan, Jack Woods and G. W. Smith.

Corresponding committee—James Cunningham, C. E. Smith and Sam J. Billman.

Finance committee—Henry Coolman, L. G. Pattison, C. C. Crider and Joe Kepler.

These committees have been hard at work on preliminaries and propose to make the picnic an overwhelming success. The object for holding it on the Sabbath is plainly visable from tbe fact that this day is the only one that they could use without it being •detrimental to their business, and it affords all a chance to be present and enjoy a respectable reunion with them. Mayor Elmore has signified his willingness to be present and deliver an address of welcome to the visitors who will arrive in bodies from Indianapolis, Lafayette, Peru and other parts of the state. Bands of music will be on hands and it will be a gala day for the hammer wielders. The committees in charge will preserve decorum and no unseemly conduct will be tolerated, nor is is even expected by them.

Every horse-shoer, blacksmith and carriage maker on earth who chances to read this announcement is, upon authority, invited by the MORNING REVIEW to bring their wives, families and wt*ll filled basket to the biggest, best and hapniest labor picnic ever held. Invitations will be sent out later.

Prohibition Conference. A conference of the Prohibition people is in session at Indianapolis. This conference is the result of a new plan of work adopted by the party in Indiana and known as the "district evangelist plan.*" It consists of placing one man in each congressional district of the state, who is known as an evangelist, and whose entire time is giren to the propaganda. H* holds meetings, raises funds, distributes literature, takes .subscriptions for prohibition papers, organizes counties, townships and districts, local clubs and does personal work. These evangelists are kept continually in the field. The work so far has been an unquallified success and they have now a man in each of the thirteen congressional districts, and two in some of them. The -conference now being held of tbe workers is to enlarge the plans for future work. There was a banquet given last night at the Sherman Cafe for the Prohibition workers and their wives at a cost of fifty cents per plateA number of toasts were responded to, Among them Rev. E. H. Brumbaugh of this city, responded to "Expansion of Beer." The session of the conference extends over Friday and Saturday.

From Manila.

Mr. L. A. Fritz, an employee of the Coolman blacksmith shop has presented the vegetable editor of the MORNING REVIEW with some fine tobacco leaves from far off Manila. The leaves average more than two

feet

in length by one in width. It will be used to drive the moths out of our fur overcoats.

Indiana Newspapers.

The Democratic Editorial Association is in session at Madison, Ind.,and over 2(X) editors are present. E. T. Lewis, staff correspondent of the Indianapolis News, writing from Madison gives the following information as to Indiana newspapers which is interesting. He says: "Very rapid strides have been made iu Indiana in news-paper-making. There are exactly 150 daily papers in the state at present. In 1885 there were but sixteen, in 1890 but thirty-seven, and in 1891 it had increased to 117. There is also a tendency toward tri-weekly publications, as the increase from five to twenty-six since 1894 will testify. With all this, the weeklies are gaining in number steadily, but only at the rate of three or four a year. At present there is a publication of some kind in every town of over 600 in Indiana. There are political papers in every county.

Of the 856 publications, 159 are advocates of Democracy, 202 are carrying the Republican coat-of-arms, 327 are independent, and the others fill a long felt want, all the way from covering points on poultry to dealing in religious news. There is one free silver Republican paper in the state—the Beacon, at Bicknell, Knox county,and one single-tax paper—the Argus, at Clinton. The Vincennes Sun is the oldest paper in Indiana, and it can also be said that it is the oldest paper west of the Ohio State line. It was established in 1804, and has had continuous publication ever since. There are but thirty-two papers in the state now which had publication prior to 1848, when the total number in the state was but fifty-one. Those founded prior to 1840 still being issued are as follows:

Vevay Reveille 1817 Torre Haute ExoresB 1823 Indianapolis Hen'lnel 1823 Latxvplto Journal 1829 Lafayette Courier 1831 Kvnnsville Journal 1881 llrookvtlle American 1833 Ft. Wayne Sentinel 1824 Hendricks County Republican-. 1835 Goshen Democrat 1837 Lawrenoeburg Register 1837 Lawrencebnrg Press 1836 Madison Courier 18)17 Miami County Seattael. .. 837 Laf*orte Herald... «888 Franklin Democrat. 18-5

It may not be generally known, but the first scientific publication in the Mississippi Valley was published at New Harmony, Ind., by Wm. McClure, who was known as the father of American geology, and was called the "Disseminator."

The Supervisor.

The road supervisor is almost as muck dreaded by "able-bodied male citizens between the ages of twentyone years and lift}'" as the ubiquitous deed is done at a star chamber session of the council, and you will be called upon to settle at the rate of S70 more per month than you paid before for the same thing. The gas company has made a good contract, no doubt. They are business men and are ready to take business advantages. If more •business men would get into public •office it would be better for the country.

Touched by the Torch.

Th'* carpet and cleaning factory owned by Rev. A. Fhmkutt A: Son, at Indianapolis, was set on fire Tuesday night by incendiaries but discovert*! before much damage was done. This is the fourth time this establishment has been set on lire bv incendiaries *«!)ce it was put in operation. The first time it was entirely destroyed. The three last times it has been discovered in time to prevent much damage. Coal oil has been used every time. .. ......

Not Our Henry.

An addition has been made to the herd of cattle on the farm of county commissioner Harding, which people in his neighborhood say is a freak of nature. The commissioner found, a few days ago, that there was anew calf in his bovine family, but it is without eyes and without sign of tail. Mr. Harding has been telling of the curiosity about the court house, and some of the officers there say the story has been circulated for campaign purposes, with a view to influencing the votes of the farming element.—Indianapolis News.

STATE'S HIGHEST COURT.

Landlord's Lien Prevails Over Claim

of Purchaser.

The Appellate Court has affirmed a case wherein the appellee had leasea some land to a tenant for one-third of the grain produced. The tenant sold the landlord's portion to the appellant. The appellant bought and paid for it in the usual course of busiuess, in perfect good faith, and without any knowledge that it was not the property of the person who sold it, or that it was subject to a landlord's lien. In affirming a judgment against him for the value of the landlord's third of the crop, Judge Comstock said: "The question presented is whether a landlord's lien will prevail over the claim of a good-faith purchaser for value without notice under the circumstances of this case. In our opinion this question must be answered in the affirmative. The statute is plain in its terms and gives a speciffic lien to the landlord. The grain was threshed before sold, and the title to the appellee's share vested in him the moment the grain was threshed. The tenant having uo title to the landlord's share, could give none to the purchaser.

Appellant's want of knowledge of the rights of appellee was not the fault of of appellee. The purpose of a statute is to secure the payment of rent so far as it may be done by liens upon the crop. In many cases it would fail of its purpose, if the purchaser of the landlord's share from any one not authorized by him to sell the same would defeat his rights."

Rebecca's Idea.

Makes the food more delicious and wholesome

A woman ate supper at a well known restaurant last night and when she had her fill several items on tho bill of fare were left. Being like Rebecca, the loving and dutiful wife of Soloman Isaac's she asked the waiter for a piece of paper in which she carefully but surely wrapped up the remnants remarking as she did so that it would suffice for a night lunch for she was busy. She paid for what' .. she got and why not get your money's worth.

Roadmaster Brothers of the Vandalia line, placed an advertisement in an evening paper calling for 100 men to go to work on that road yesterday morning. Mr. Brothers was horrified ou reaching the depot to find that seven willing workers had responded to the call. Why this thusness? Do the remaining ninety-three men intend to feed off the taxpayers as of old, or did Mr. Brothers blindly put his "ad." under a bushel?

An Opinion On the Poor Law. lifter much discussion as to what the new poor law passed by last legislature really meant, the Attorney ^enteral has passeil down an upinion to the effect that the county commissioners will have to advance the poor funds as has been done in the past for the remainder of lSUit, and charge the same to the different, townships.

After this year money will be appropriated by the county councils for this purpose and the amount paid by township levies.

Please Give Credit.

There are a few papers which persistently kleptomaniac matter from this paper and run the same without credit. Will the editor cut this out and paste it in his hat, as a gentle reminder to write "Crawfordsville REVIEW" after items which they consider worth a reproduction^ their columns. At least be honest enough to ad I "Ex." Learn to shine by your ow.i light. Crawfordsville vs. New Richmond.
