•The

Cincinnati Enquirer estimates

that the South and West hold only 225 millions of the 2,200 millions of United States bonds.

Tim Franklin Herald says that out of thirteen farmers in the last Indiana Senate ten of them voted for the increase of salaries. Slater was there.

Till- Terre Haute Gazette comes to the defense of Noves White, the Independent candidate for Secretary of State. It says he is a victim of circumstances, and a much abused man.

The

Madison Courier thinks it is

rather curious that men who don't advertise, because nobody sees it, are will-1 ing to give five dollars to have their names kept out of the iolice court reports.

The

Indianapolis Sentinel denies the

.•'•charge that Prof.' Shortridge, the new l'resiilent of Purdue University, don't know beans. It says he is the owner of a farm to which he has given much attention for years, and his knowledge of agriculture is one of his strong points.

The

Independent or Reform party

of Illinois don't seem to be any more fortunate than its Indiana brother, born at the same time, The Danville Commercial says: "With one exception, the Cham-: paign Union, we have seen no paper that supported either ticket or platform."'

Hknuy L. Dawks,

of Massachusetts

has written a letter to his constituent.-* declining to be a candidate for re-election to Congress. Mr. Dawes was one of the prominent candidates for the place in the Senate made vacant by the death of Sumner. When he finishes his present term he will have served eighteen years in Congress.

The church was more than usually crowded, and at the close of the services the con-. gregation indulged in a general handshaking with the pastor. Whatever effect the Tilton charges may have on the outside world they don't aflect the Plymouth church people.

A correspondent of the Chicago J'u*t thus describes the closing scene of class day SS'fhe class parted under the maples with the usual farce of pipes and lemonade and class songs.

r.xlriul from tin- Hon. T. .1. Cnsoit's S|imii, .Inno :t, 1ST I. The question that comes home to the Western statesman at this time is, what will this Congress do for the relief of Western interests?

The selfish illiberality of the East is shown in its action on the currency ijuestion, and its inconsistency in this respect is eoual to that on the tariff.

W hat America needs is American ideas and American legislation. It is time our people should rise above British ideas, British trade, and British gold. Place your workshops along side of the farm, establish your machine-shops and manufactories over your coal-fields let the tiller of the soil feed the mechanic, and the one exchange his commodities for the other's. 1 appeal to Congress to consider the, commercial necessities of our people and to afford us the help Ave so much need.

Our great agricultural productions rot in our granaries for the want of a cheap way to put them into the hands of the consumer. No wonder the people of the West and South arise in their might and demand their rights. I And I here second their demand and. insist upon its justness. (live them cheap

One who doesnot believe in immersion for baptism was holding a protracted me.'ling. and one night he preached on the subject of baptism. In the course of his remarks he said, some believe it necessary to go down into the water, and come up out of it to be baptized. But this he claimed to be a fallacy, for the proportion "into" of the scriptures, should be rendered differently, as it (iocs not mean into at all times. "Moses," he said, "we are told, went up into the mountain, and the Savior was taken into a high mountain, etc.

The hour for trial arrived, the defendant was in Court, tlie counsel on both sides announced ready, and the hearing began. A motion was made by the defense to dismiss the warrant, which motion was opposed by the counsel for the prosecution.
