A. A. SMITH has retired from the editorship of the Greencastle Times and is succeeded by his brother Harry. A. A. has gone to the new State of Washington to seek a newspaper location. The Smith boys are both good newspaper men.

THE Oobden Club, of England, has been trying for twenty-five years to propagate and cultivate the doctrine of free trade. But Mr. Gladstone now complains that the orop is small and that there is great depression in this celebrated Democratic industry as well as ir. farming.

MACIUCE THOMPSON, is a great free trader yet he lights into Congressman Brookshire like a house afire because the Congressman voted to continue the free trade piracy of books. Thompson, and Lowell, and Curtis, and all the free trade authors want their own wares protected from the blarsted Britisher but at the same time they oppose any protection for other manufacturers' wares.

A MERCHANT in this city has received a letter from the East, probably from some foreign manufacturer's agent or salesman at Boston or New York, advising him that if the tariff on linen goods and flax is increased it will oause a ruinous rise in the prioe of linen goods in this country, and the recipient of the letter is now in a perturbed state of mind over the matter. If the gentleman will wait and see he will learn, in due time, that American competition in the raising of flax and the manufacture of linen will ultimately make linen cheaper instead of higher, and if such does not prove to be the result, we will bind ourselves to buy all the linen in his store at double price.

THE McKinley tariff bill puts a heavy duty on flax and linen, with a view of encouraging flax raising and the manufacture of linen fabrios in this oountry Of course all the brood of free traders fly into a passion and cry out that flax cannot be raised in America. Mr. Lafollette,who represents theMadison, Wis., district, is one of the. most useful men in Congress does not stop to argue the correctness of free trade platitudes, but goes at their authors with facts which are more valuable than any amount of theorizing. He showed in the house that one of his constituents raised six acres of flax at a cost of $251.97, and sold the product for §229.01 or $38.16 clear profit profit per acre, and the Boston manufacturer to whom the flax was sold, wrote a letter to the farmer who raised it, pronouncing ig equal to the bett flax he ever imported. Such facts as tl ese are worth more iu

the great discussion that is now going on in and out of Congress than all the mere theorizing ever indulged in by all the wise men of the country.

ABOUT PUECHASING THE WATERWORKS. The agitation of the question cf the purchase of the water works by the city is still on in some quarters, but to tho£3 who understand the situation and ar familiar with a little of the true inwardness of affairs the talk assumes the pLaf-e of the humorous. The question as to whether the city should own the water works or not cuts no figure. That is not the issue. Aud it is not the province of TIIK JOURNAL at this time to discuss this phase of tlie question. Tlie statutes provide that before a city can actually embark iu the erection of water works or to make extensions or improvements where works have heretofore been constructed the question shall be submitted to the qualified voters at a special or geueral election, upon a petition of ono hundred freeholders ami resident taxpayers, and iu no case shall the Common Council erect, or make ex tensions or improvements except upon a majority of all the votes cast at such ejection, and this election can only be held after three weeks' notice in a news paper. When this is done the city may issue bonds to run not less than live years nor more than twenty years, and the bonds shall not be sol.l for less than 91 cents. Let it be conceded that the same steps must bo takeu where works have been erected by a corporation if the city desires to purchase. But this is only the beginning of tlie trouble in our especial case. The company owuing the works has bonded them for §150, 000, and the bondholders hold a mortgage for this sum. It has been developed within the last week or two that there are still other bonds outstanding but the exact amount cannot be ascertained. And it is upon the petition of these bondholders that the court has been asked to set the sale aside tliat was made on the 24th of April. There are still other liens pending and which have not been passed upon by the court, which together with the court costs, the trustees' fees and allowances, the counsels' fees, the court and receiver's indebtedness aud the claims and, debts, will amount to probably §25, 000. By the terms of the sale first made each bidder was required to deposit §10, 000 in cash which was to be forfeited in catfb the successful bidder failed to pay or complete the purchase. The requirement next time may be double this amount. The man who thinks for a moment that the investors will permit the works to be sold for less than,the amount they have put up is laboring under a most beguiling delusion. To vote on a pig in a poke proposition is too absurd to merit a moment's serious consiueration. This whole talk about the city purchasing the water works at this time is nothing but the merest moonshine.

INDIANAPOLIS Journal: The arrest of several publishers at Crawfordsville, for printing advertisements of a "watch olub," iudictments being found by the grand jury under the anti-lottdry laws, will bring an interesting question into the courts. Almost everyone is famili-r with the principle upon which the "watoh club" is ruu. A number of men "chip in" a dollar a week, and have a drawing each week, the first obtaining his watch for $1, the next for §2, and so on. If the courts define this as gambling, it is difficult to see how they can avoid punishing all insurance companies issuing "tontine" policies, and all publishers printing advertisements of such companies. It is no easy matter to draw the line where gambling begins.

THE Sunday Times had its say in its last issue about the condition of exSpeaker Carlisle at the funeral of Kentucky's dead Senator. That he was drunk and made a disgraceful exhibition of himself is not denied. It was true, every word of it, and more oould have been truthfully added.—Lafayette Times.

Although the Times is a Democratic paper yet the fearlessness with which it exposes the shortcomings and delinquencies of members of its own party is to be admired. Mr. Carlisle's well known frailties, however, did not prevent his election to the United States Senate to succeed the universally esteemed James B. Beck.

MB. CARLISLE is "to make the speech of his life," in the House before he retires from body to take his seat in the Senate. No doubt it will be "the greatest effort of his life," but it is morally certain there will not be an idea in it that Mr. Carlisle has not repeated fifty times in the House already. It will consist of free trade platitudes from the schoolmen and dootrinaires, which are already as familiar to reading people as blades of grass to a roving buffalo on the Western prairies.

THE McKinley tariff bill passed the House yesterday by a vote of 164 to 142. It received the vote of every Republican but Coleman of Louisiana, who voted against it because it provided that sugar should be placed on the free list. The bijl now goes to the Senate where it passes through along and slow ordeal

before it reaches a final vote which will probably not be before the 1st of August.

80 solidly is labor organized that even the fishermen along the Piicific coast have formed a protective union. What is more, iu the free and independent climate of the slope, they enforce its edicts with the gently persuasive shotgun, Tkero was a fight lately between the catchcrs of union and uon-uuion fish near Portland, Ore., in wliich ono man was killed on the spot, another mortally wounded and a third seriously wounded. !Tho two men w.°re thus sent cut of the world because they sold a fish for seven-ty-five cents instead of for a dollar and a quarter.

Is there a newspaper in the county that will champion the cause of John L. Gol i.' We might add bv the way of a pointer to seeming stupidity that there is much to say and from now on is your time to .say it. Or does it tnke just one kind of grease to open up in patriotic shape.—NVayuetowu Hornet.

There is something mysterious in the above paragraph. What does it all moitiii The Hornet should be more explicit.

TIIE McKinley bill proposes to put a duty of $4. a ton on hay. The present duty is S2. a ton. We imported last year from Canada 100,2G9 tons, valued at §979,524. Every ton brought from Canada displaced a ton of American hay from the American market. The duty should be so high as to prevent a ton of day bting sold in our markets by Canadians.

XI10 Farmers.

It is not at all impossible that the next organized body to cut a figure in ou'* national politics will be the farmers. Tlie terrible industrial depression among them the past few years has driven them to measures of self helpfulness. There are some half a dozen different organiza--tions of farmers in various irt3 of the country, the principal ones being the Farmers' Alliance and the Farmers' Mutual Benefit association. In the west and south the farmers' societies are most numerous and popular.

In Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois aud Indiana the farmers are showing great activity politically, having in several instances nominated their own candidates for congress. There are gentlemen just now who love agricultural life so intensely that they would even accept the nomination for governor of a state at the hands of the farmers, fn Alabama the Fanners' Alliance is running its own candidate for governor, R. S. Kolh, and this fact is said to portend peril to the democratic party of that state.

In Indiana, in Martin county alone, the Farmers' Alliance numbers 1,500 members. At Loogoo&ee the Alliance has a contract store. In Indiana the various fanners' societies propose to consolidate into one compact body of 100,000 members. A hundred thousand voters hanging solidly together and working vigorously could oontrol any election in any state of the Union. In Nebraska the Farmers' Alliance numbers 44,500. Of these, however, 6 per oont. are women, who do not count politically.

In Illinois the Fanners' Mutual Benefit association has nearly 100,000 men. bers. Its president is C. J. Lindly, a young lawyer, who runs a 600 acre farm. The F. M. B. A. distinctly disclaims any connection with politics, but somehow it is rather expected that next v. inter's legislature in Illinois will contain a considerable sprinkling of men who **wiii oonsider their allegiance to the farmers and laborers matters of legislation as paramount to party fealty."

The declaration of purpose erf the Farmers' Alliance is a document to be commended to gentlemen with political aspirations. It is as follows:

Declaration of PurpajeB.—Profoundly Impressed that we, tho Farmers' Alliance, united by the strong and Catthful ties of financial and home Interests, t&ould sot forth our declarations ot intentions, we therefore resolve:

To strive to secure the establishment of right and justioe to oareetoea and our posterity. To labor for the education of tho agricultural classes in tho tcleoce of economical gorernment in a strictly txm-partisan spirit.

To Indorse tlie motto, "In tilings essential, unity: in all things, charity." To secure purity of the elective franchise and to induce oil voters to intelligently eacercise it for the enactment and execution of laws which will exprajs the most advanced public sentiment upon all questions involving the interests of laborer* and fanners.

To develop a better state, mentally, morally, socially and financially. To constantly strive to secure ectiro harenony and good will among all mankind, and brotherly love among ourselves.

To suppress personal, local, sectional and national prejudices all unhealthful rivalry sod all selfish ambition.

To assuage the sufferings of a brother uui ribtor, bury the dead, cars for the widooa anal

ARE A UKVEI.ATION TO THB WORLD AND AKE TUK ONLY GENUINE RHEUMATIC PLASTERS.

Nine-tenths of all troubles which require the aid of plasters are rheumatic their nature. A change of weather or sudden draft causes a cold, which developes into muscular and that into inflammatory rheumatism. And yet there has never been such a thing as a distinctly rheumatic and strengthening plaster, and hundreds have died suddenly where rheumatism has attacked the heart, whose lives might have been saved had this plaster been applied in season. They are constructed on purely scientific principles and are purely vegetable.
