THE grasshoppers now visiting Kansas are said to be harmless. But, alas, the name can not be said of the beardful booby, Peffer.

THERE is a scandal connected with the Logansport-InBane Asylum which reflects no credit on the Superintendent. An inmate from Wabash died. His body was placed in what is called the "dead room." During the night rats or cats entered and gnawed both eyes out and ate the chin almost off. The ghostly story demands investigation.

THE editor of the Madison Democrat is the defendant in a libel suit, a luxury that every wide awake and progressive newspaper publisLer occasionally indulges in. The plaintiff in the case is a woman, and while it was difficult for the defendant to establish all the facts from a legal basis, yet in the main his statements as published were true. From amoral standpoint they are admitted and the public at large accepts and believes in their truthfulness. It is not Bhown that the editor held any malice against the woman. On the other hand it was proven that neither the defendant nor his reporter who was the author of the alleged libelous paragraph had any personal knowledge of the plaintiff. The news was obtained through other parties the reliability of the source not being questioned. The jury returned a verdict of SI,500 against the defendant. The public with common consent denounce the verdict as an outrage on justice. The frequency with which publishers all over the State are annoyed with these petty suits instituted as they are as a general thing by irresponsible dead beats demands an amendment to our libel laws, removing at least their jug-handled conditions, so as to give the innocent a Bhow of ustice.

SOME short-sighted Itepublicana Kentucky are attempting to injure John Young Brown, the Democratic candl

date for Governor, by publishing an old communication written by him, in 1861, in which he said that if the President sent any Federal soldiers into Kentucky he hoped they would be shot. We could think of nothing else that would be so well calculated to insure Mr. Brown's triumphant election, as the resurrection of this communication in 1861. We doubt if a Democratic can be found Kentucky to-day, who did not feel juBt as Mr. Brown did about the Bending of Federal troops into Kentucky. And the Union soldiers of Kentucky who have been in the habit of voting the Demo cratic ticket ever since the v.'ar, will doubtless be all the more eager to vote for Mr. Brown, since the publication of the information as to his record in 1861. We have no faith in the notion that Democrats in Kentucky will fall out

with Mr. Brown on account of the expression of such sentiments. The pub lication of this old communication is far more likely to help Mr. Brown than to injure his prospects in the Gubernatorial race,-,,

AMERICAN SHOES.

Discussing the subject of American shoe manufacturing, a correspondent of The Shoe and Leather Record, London says "The facts seem to point unmistakably to a great advance made by American manufacturers over our own in the production of boots. This is a serious matter and one that mnst engage the attention of our manufacturers. It is very clear that the shoe trade will be monopolized as effectually as the leather trade has been by our.American cousins. If any one had been bold enough to predict twenty years since that they would secure our leather trade, he would have been sneered at as a, madman. It will not take twenty years to wipe out the shoe trade, judging by what Americans are doing. Wo may also see tho strap and harness trades follow in the same train. We must bear in mind that, without going outside their own lines, they have sixty million people to shoe before they can give their attention to 'fresh woods and pastures new.' When they have done this they will find our market ready to their hands. Protection secured their own market for leather as it does now for boots, thus enabling them to obtain a profit upon their industry within their own limits, and sell their surplus produce for the best price it will realize in foreign markets.

Such is the testimony of an Englishman who has no love for the United States tariff. Everything he says is but corroborative proof to sustain the position of the American protectionist. As in the shoe trade so it will be in the tin plate business. The Welsh manufacturers already see the handwriting on the wall. It is only the American free trader who will not see.

THE NEW BAND.

THE JOURNAL remarked a few days ago that a good band would be a fine thing for Crawfordsville and as if to echo and emphasize the sentiment the players have gotten together and organized. The indications are, too, that it will be a grand success. The very first step the boys have taken, that is securing a competent leader from Chicago, not only shows that all petty jealousies are to be laid aside but that no false ideas of economy will prevail. It takes money to run a band besides a great deal of time and hard work. In return for this the band should receive the hearty support of the community. No outside band should ever be hired to play for Crawfordsville just because its price is a little lower. The fair association should lead of by engaging our new band for the next fair. 4

THE Chicago Inter-Ocenn uses THE JOURNAL'S estimate of the wheat crop in this county as a basis for the following comments:

Montgomery county, Indiana, is reported as having a surplus of 1,500,000 bushels of wheat for sale. The population is about 30,000 the price of wheat is a little over 80 cents th:.g gives more than $1,250,000 to be distributed among the farmers of one comparatively email county from the sale of but one of their crops. It may be added that Montgomery county is not in any special sense a wheat producer corn, hay, oats, hogs, cattle and horses are quite as generally raised as wheat. The farmers of Montgomery county are not deserting the Republican party because of "high prices on account of the tariff." While shoes and plows and dry goods are "as cheap as ever," and sugar much cheaper than ever before, they will bear the increased price of oats and wheat without a murmur.

IN the controversy between John Nicholay and A. K. McClure concerning Mr. Lincoln's preference for Vice-Presi-dent in 1864—Hamlin or Johnson—Mr. Nicholay 6eems to have the best of the controversy. Mr. Nicholay has the evidence of Mr. Lincoln himself and of the convention. Colonel McClure has his own recollections. In a historical controversy personal recollections will not stand against facts.

IN 1892 for the first Presidential year in along while Indiana will be without a man with a reasonable or unreasonable hope of securing the first place on the PemoQr?itic pational ticket. Ex-

Gov. Gray, its favorite son, knows by this time that he has not really been in the Presidential race for 1892 at all, and that he can't get in.

Worth Its Weight in Gold. If a price can be placed on pain, "Mother's Friend is worth its weight in gold as an alleviator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with either of her two children that she did all together with her last, having previously used four bottles of "Mother's Friend."

INDIANAroi.is, Ind., July 16.—In the federal court Tuesday it was announced that Sylvester No aland of New York had failed to pay the £200,000 due July 1 upon his purchase of the road known as the "Clover Leaf" that crosses northern Indiana. It was agreed that if he failed to make any of the deferred payments promptly the property should go back into the hands of the court on whose order it was sold. Tuesday morning a letter from Robert G. Ingersoll, who is Nealand's attorney, was received by Judge Woods pleading the stringency of the money market as the cause of delay and asking an extension of time. The court set Wednesday of next week for a further hearing.

Couples Married Free.

JEFFEKSONVILLE, Ind., July 10.—The competition among the justices of the peace for eloping Kentucky couples in this city has become very fierce. Hitherto Justice Kiegwen has had a monopoly, and he has married not less than 5,000 couples. Recently Justice Hall moved into town and competition began. Both put out runners. Monday night they captured Thomas Shaver and Mary Duncan, of Louisville. Kiegwen's man began to break on the price, and finally Hall's runner announced that the justice would marry all comers for nothing. Hall married the couple.

Two Girls Ilun Away.

MAI{TIN.SVII.I.E, Ind., July 10.—Misses Corda Fulcher and Dora Ilose left their homes last Thursday night. The following morning they boarded the Fairland train at Taggert's crossing. Tuesday morning their parents received letters postmarked Indianapolis, in which they said they would not return home. A vigorous search is being made for them at the Hoosier capital. The girls are of highly respectable families and aged about 17 years.

English Evangelical Conference. ELKHART, Ind., July 10.—The annual conference and camp-meeting of the English Evangelical Church association of Indiana began in Studebaker park Tuesday evening. Presiding Elder Martz was in the chair. The session will continue until July 24. Many prominent clergymen will be present, among them Bishop Bowman, who ia now on his way home from Europe.

Corporation Assessments.

INDIANAVOI.IS, Ind., July 10.—The board reviews under the new tax law are being run to death by complaints of high assessments, and in a few cases have ordered reductions. Corporation assessments generally have been raised over S5,000,000 on last year's lists. It is probable that assessments will be high enough to reduce the rate of taxation from 8190 to S150 a hundred.

Corporations Must Pay Taxes. INDIANAPOLIS, July 15.—In an opinion to the state tax commission the attorney general construes the law eoverning the assessment of franchises. He divides corporations into two classes, those engaged in a private business and those doing a. business in which the public is interested, the latter embracing gas, street railroad, waterworks, gravel road, railroad, banking and foreign companies doing business in the state. A corporation of the first class, he says, must be assessed on its capital stock, and one of the second class on its capital stock and the value of its franchise, the latter to be determined by its dividends or profits. The submission of

claim for credits by the Booneville bank also

called out

£,w

spicy opinion from

the attorney general. The capital stock of the bank is S50,000, and the bank submitted a list of credits aggregating §10,000. In the list is the salary of employes due April 1, taxes unpaid at that time, a claim of 10 per cent, on capital stock, and other similar items. The attorney general instructs the assessor that not one of these credits ought to be allowed, and says that the bank should be taxed on S65,000, its real value.

A IJIg Wheat Yield.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 15.—Estimates based upon the amount of wheat already thrashed give a total for the state of about 00,000,000 bushels, the largest crop that has been raised in Indiana for fifteen years. In some lo calities the grain has been injured a little by the midge, but the crop as whole is excellent in quality and abundant in yield. Last year the yield aggregated but .13,000,000 bushels. 4*

A Preacher Denounces the l'ress. NCENNKS, Ind., July 15.—Rev. Clay Yates, of th^ Cumberland Presbyterian church of this city, Sunday night preached a sermon on the press which was remarkable in many of its sensational statements.. The preacher's remarks were called forth by a recent dispatch from Birmingham, Ala., which gave the information that Dixon Williams, an Indiana evangelist, had attempted to sue a church in that city for a fee for carrying on a revival. He denounced this report as a falsehood without knowing the facts, and declared that the press gloried in defaming the ministry and worked ten times harder for the saloons and the whisky power than for the church.

JJats Prey Upon tho Dead.

WAHASH, Ind., July 15. Sunday night Mrs. Hannah Ewing, of this city, received notice from Superintendent Rogers, of the hospital for feeble minded at Logansport, that her son Ira, an inmate for three years, was dead. Fisher Perry went to Logansport at once to bring the remains home. When he was admitted to the so-called bedroom Monday morning—a cellar under one of the buildings with only one window—there on a cot was the body. Bats had feasted on the ilesli all night, eating away both eyes and all the lower part of the face and the loose skin, which had been pulled down over the breast of the dead man.

More Trouble for tho lin wens. DEI.PIU, Ind., July 15.—Several months ago an attorney, employed by the county to hunt out sequestered taxables, asked the auditor to put on the duplicate a large amount against the Bowens.

The Bowens will enjoin the collection of these taxes and will take the question to the supreme court

Smothered In a Din of WIi MUNCIE, Ind., July 15. Monday morning at Albany, a few miles east of this city, an accident occurred resulting in the smothering to death of Freddie, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Richey. The boy, unnoticed, entered the Smith & Stafford grain elevator and climbed into a large bin of wheat. The grain was being loaded into a car from a chute. The boy went to examine the peculiar action of the wheat and was soon lost from view in the funnel-like hole made by the chute. The boy who was with Freddie jumped to his rescue and came near losing his life in the same manner, as he was struggling 1 1 when llolla Hobbs, an employe, came to his rescue.
