W OUR STATE DEBT WAS MADE. The history of the state debt in Indiana make very bad record for the Democratio party and a correspondingly good ouo for the Republican party, says the Indianapolis Journal. In 1861, when the Republican party iirsfc came into power, the funded debt of the st'ite was S10,1G9,'2G7. This was created under Democratic rule. The Democratic party has had control of the state government continuously from 1840 to 18G0. Samuel Bigger was Governor from 1S40 to 1843 James Whitcomb from 1843 to 1849 Joseph A. Wright from 1849 to 1857 A. P. Willard from 1857 to 1860, and A. Hammond from 1860 to 1861. All of these were Democrats, and the Legislature was Democratic during nearly the whole of the same period. The state debt of 810,179,267, in 1861, was therefore, created by the Democratic party.

The Republicans carried the St'ito in 1860, electing Henry,S. Lane Governor, and Oliver P. Morton Lieutenant Governor. They also oarrisd the Legislature, and in January, 1861, Lane was elected United States Senator and Morton became Governor, serving as such until 1867. He was succeeded by Con rad Baker, who served from 1S67 to 1873. During most of the period from 18G0 to 1870 the Republicans had control of the legislature and were able to hape the financial policy of the State, During that period the state debt was reduced from $10,179,267 to §4,167,507, or §6,011,760. This reduction would be a good showing under and circumstance but in view of the, fact that it was made during the ten years iu which the war occurred, it is remarkable. Whenever, during that ten years, the Democrats had control of the Legislature they used their power to embarrass the governor and injure the credit of the state. Owing to their disloyal and revolutionary aotion Governor Morton was compelled to borrow money to carry on the state government, pledging its credit and Ins own honor to repayment of the loans. A Republican Legislature made his promises good. Yet iu spite of the difficulties of the war period, tliL! extraordinary expenses incident thereto, and the obstructive policy of the Democracv, the state debt was reduced over 86,000.000 botween 1860 and 1870, leaving a debt in 1870 of §1,167,507. This was the smallest debt the state had had for forty years.

Between 1870 and 18S0 the debt inoreaswd §830,671. The Democrats had control of the state government most of the time during this period. Thomas A. Hendricks was governor from 1873 to to 1877, James D. Williams from 1877 to 1880, and Isaac P. Gr i.y was noting Governor from 1880 to 1881. In 1877 thi tax levy was reduoed to 12 cents on the §100, fcand it has stood at that ever since. It never did and never will furnish an adequate revenue. In 1880 the state debt was §4,998,178 and increase of §830,671 since 1870. But this was only a slight promotion of what was to follow. It was like the rumbling that precedes the earthquake, or the pattering drops that announce the coming storm. The next lew years were to witness the inauguration of and persistent adherence to the most shameless financial policy on reoord, resulting in a reckless, wanton and systematic increase of the state debt by the same party that had loft behind a debt of §10,179,267 when iu went out of power in 1801.

Between 1880 and 1889 the state debt has increased from §4,998,178 to §8,540,. 615, and every dollar of the increase is due io Democratic legislation and financiering. Most of the increase has been during the last five years, and the increase for the decade would be even larger if the Republicans irnd not reduced the debt §121,570 in the years 1881 and 1882. To be exact, the debt has increased from §4,876,608.34, in 1884, to §8,540,615.12, in 1889. This increase is due to the large and reckless appropriations made by successive Democratic legislatures, to their persistent refusal to make any provision for increasing the revenue, and to their adherenoe, year after year, to the policy of borrowing money to defray the current expenses of the state government and accruing interest on the debt. TIIUB principal has been added to principal and interest to interest, until the debt is nearly double what it was ten years ago, and the interest alone is §273,825 a year. Tliis disgraceful record has been made by successive Democratic legislatures, in spite of repeated warnings,and with lull knowledge of the fact that thoy were piling up a state debt at tho rate of §400,000 a year. If tho people of Indiana want to approve that policv and insure its cLJatinuance they can do so by selecting another Democratic legislature. That will bo evidence that they prefer a pr.rty that Liakes debts to one that pays them.

THE veterans of Terra Haute nnd Vigo county are going to make another attempt to get enough money subscribed to ereoc a monument in honor of the veterans who went from Vigo county to the war and who were killed. They have now §2,000 in tho Treasury and the Commissioners are to be asked to appropriate §15,000. Isn't it about time that Montgomery county should tako steps for a similar purpose? A county that was the first to respond with a company of volunteers to suppress the rebellion, and which furnished over 3,000 of her patriotic sons to the ranks of the National Army, many of whom gave up their lives in the glorious OBUSC, certainly deserve, a monument to perpetuate their memory and deeds. Montgomery cannot afford to be behind her sister counties iu matters of patriotism.

ARGENTINE 11EPUBILC.

AN INTELLIGENT STATEMENT 01 THE EEV0LUTI0N.

Crazed With Speoulaticn—Margin Gam- &•. bling—Paper Money.

A Crawfordsvillian familiar with affairs in the Argentine Republic by reason of along residence there, has the following to say to THE JOURNAL in regard to the Revolution in Buenos Ayres: "The idea that the present revolution in Argentina is an indication of the incapacity of the Argentines for self government, is neither justified by the history of that country nor by the existing state of affairs. The first thing done by the revolutionists was to create a provisional President, in order that in the event of the overthrow of the administration, there might be no oliange in their form of government. The Argentines are now, and have been for some time, in llnanoial distress, and the daily depreciation of their paper currency is without doubt part cause of the revolution. A short time ago the National Bank, carrying over §25,000,000 deposits,suspended payment for a week, but English capitalists came to the res cue and saved the credit of the bank, Argentine securities even now are firm on the London Exchange at 86, with an upward tendency, certainly a good in dication of the faith England has on the stability of the Republic.

Juarez Column, their President, whom they are now asking to resign,was eleot ed in April, 1886, and inaugurated the following October. He is a brother-in-law of Julie A. Roca, his predecessor, and tho followers of Dardo Rocha, his opponent iu the Presidental race, complained that Celmau was not fairly elected. Rocha had many followers throughout the Republic, including Gen. Luis Campos and Gen. Arredonda the leaders in the revolution, so I am inclined to attribute the cause of their troubles partly to the disappointment of the defeated party and not altogether to any real turpitude in tho administration. Celman is a man of ability and experience, formerly Governor of Cor doDa, and Senator from that Province at the time of his election. It Beems unfair to make him entiiely responsible for their financial troubles. He appoirt edLuis Varela ex-President of tho Nat ional Bank, and the most experienced financier in the Republic, Minister of Finance, and made every possible effort to prevent further depreciation of their paper money, at that time largely due to gambling on the Exchange. Varela made a thorough investigation and showed that while only §5,COO,000 gold per month were bought and sold through the banks, §90,000,000 was every month handled in margins, on tho Exchange. And it was through Celman's efforts that their Congress passed a law prohibiting the sale of gold except by aotual delivery. The trouble is with the Argentines themselves. They are not educated in sound business ideas, but are crazed with speculation. Companies are organized there every day with enormous oapital for all sorts of foolish ventures. It was only about a year ago a dairy concern organized with a oapital of§2,000,000,and if I remember rightly about 25 per cent had been paid when I left. Land has already reached fictitious values, and in many instances is mortgaged to the Hypothecary Banks for far more than it is worth. These banks do not pay cash to the borrower. They have the land which the borrower wishes to mortgage, appraised and give him aper cent, of the appraised value in Cedules or coupon bonds, which the borrower negotiates on the Exchange for whatever he can get, usually about 85 per cent, it often happens that there is collusion between the appraisers and the borrower, and that the land is appraised for fur more than it is worth. The scheme works all right,but when the day of reckoning comes there will be trouble.

The Argentines are also making vast improvements, requiring enormous expenditures, and they are constantly bor rowing from European capitalists to meet them. They are now digging at enormous expense, a harbor around the city of Buenos Ayres, which will, when completed give them a channel with 22 feet depth. They are furthermore, to illustrate their extravagance, making a wido boulevard through tho business center of the city, buying in the necessary ground at fabulous prices. It will it is claimed, cost from §20,000,000 to §30,000,000, and will extend from Plaza Victoria to Palermo Park, over three miles in length. Can anyone wonder that the country is increasing its debt or that its currency is inflated? They have faith in immigration,but their immigrants are, in the majority Italians of the poorest class, who bring no oapital into the country. Last year 260,000 landed in the Argentine, certainly a good showing for a country with only -1,000,000 inhabitants.

The army is loyal to the administration, through the influence of General Roca, the ex-President. Boca is the

best organizer in the Republic and a fighter of experienced ability. He is now in poor health, or he would be in the saddle leading the forces of the government. Gen. Luis Campos is a son-in-law of Gen. Vrefuiza, the famous Argentine Liberator, who over, threw Juan Manuel Rosas in the battle of Monte Caseros, so memorable in Argentine history. Rosas made himself diotator and so terrorized the entire Republic that it was at the peril of assasination to criticise him even for the most flagrant cruelty. Rosas after the defeat of his forces at Caseros escaped in disguise and fled to Southampton where he afterwards died.

Gen. Arredonda, who with General Campos commands the Revolutionists, was the head and front of the Revolution in Uruguay some four years ago. The Uruguayans also had a dictator, Gen. Maximo Santos, whom they were desirous to oust, so they sent 2,000 men over to Buenos Ayres to organize under Arredonda, who borrowed a couple of passenger boats from an English company without permission and landed ,his mon at Paysandu. Santos was prepared with his Gatling guns to meet them and made short work of that revolution. He held his power until one night a young fellow, Ortiz by name, shot him through the tongue as he was entering a theater and Santos resigned. So it may be seen that revolution is not anew thing to South America Republics, although it is to be regretted that the Argentines cannot settle their difficulties without war. They are really ft fine race of people and want to make theirs a model Republic for South America. They have made our country a study and in theory have adopted our form of government. The revolution cannot last long and I doubt if they will have much heavy fighting. They had similar trouble in 1880 when Roca was made President, but it was all settled in less than week after a short battle near the city. Whether or not they will- succeed in forcing Celman to resign remains to be seen. I do not believe they will. The government forces have all the ammunition to be had, and the navy, reported to have joined the revolution, cannot add much strength to the cause. They may shell the city, but that will only be a useless destruction of property, without accomplishing any good for the Revolution. Celman is a man of courage and will not give up until the last. In either event the revolution cannot but have a good effect, in at least checking the mad extravagance of the government."

Blood Poison

Is very liable to follow contact of the hands or face with what is known as poison ivy, especially in hot weather or if the body is prespirinpr freely. The trouble may subside for a time, only to appear in aggravated form when opportunity offers. The great purifying powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison from the blood, as the cures it has accomplished conclusively show. It also cures salt rheum, scrofula and all other affections arising from impure or poisoni blood.
