THE national debt will not last longer that twelve years more, if tbe Republican policy of paying it off at tbe rate of $100,000,000 a year is carried out.

THOMAS B. REED gave a very clever defination of economy, as used by Holman, et al, in tbe House: "It is opposition to everything you don't want for yourself."

DUKIJCO May, 1890, we paid to foreigners §229,422 for imported cutlery. Last May we only paid $53,168 for foreign cutlery. We used just as much cutlery as before, but we bought of American makers instead of European makers.

THESenate committee on public buildings has reported unanimously in favor of the bill appropriating $150,000 for a public building at Muncie, And yet Congressman Brookshire has not even raised his voice in favor of a public building for Crawfordsville whose receipts from the postoffice are equal to those of Muncie.

THE Democratic papers are making a great parade over the alleged taxing of corporations wnich they claim have heretofore not paid their equal share of taxation. Why were the said corporations not taxed heretofore The same party has been in power for quite awhile. Why did they not see to it before that taxation was equalized? This cry of corporation tax is only a bluff to detract attention from the increased taxation.

ALL that the law abiding and order loving citizens of Crawfordsville ask is that the saloons keepers shall faithfully observe the law which regulates and restrains the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday. It is but fair to say that a majority of our saloon keepers obey the law to the letter. These dealers make as much money or more than those who violate the law and stand in constant fear of arrest.

THIS is the time of year when the meeting of two men on the streets, or a friendly meeting at dinner is heralded by the enterprising correspondents as a conference. "Conferences" for and against the renomination of President Harrison are particularly frequent—in the correspondents' mind. But it is important to remember that there are Beven hundred odd delegates to the Minneapolis convention who have not attended these "conferences."

IF Sam Small preaches prohibition in the North, and Democracy in the South, asjis charged by F.C.Sexton,a prominent Prohibitionist of Shelbyville, his double political life is as dishonest as a man's moral double life If, as the Indianapolis Journal charges, he is engaged in circulating the report that Simeon Coy is engaged in organizing the saloon keepers' league in favor of Harrison, he is also a campaign liar. Sam is a bright man but he can't play fast and loose and still hold a place in the hearts of the people, who will not be exacting as to to his political creed, but will demand that he shall be honest in hiB convictions whatever they may be, whether Prohibitionist, Democrat or Republican.

CHABLES B. LANDIS, editor of the Delphi Journal, is announced for CongresB before the Republican nominating convention of the Tenth Congressional District. This a ill not be a surprise to the hosts of warm friendB and admirers of Mr. Landis in this city and county, all of whom have thought for several years that Mr. LandiB ought to be in Congress. There is not a more brilliant, progressive or more popular young man in Indiana, and his nomination, we believe, would insure the election of a liepublican from the Tenth district as well as greatly strengthen the whole ticket.

Mr. Landis is immensely popular among all classes, is thoroughly capable, is sound in the faith, and if nominated, as he surely will be, he will give the unterrified such a routing and drubbing as they have not undergone since the retributive days away back in the 'GO's.

IN the Raum investigation last Monday Warner Wilhite. the chief of the Eastern Division of the Pension Office, was the first witness called. He said that never had be known of one attorney receiving any advantage over another in the adjudication of pension claims. He believed from his own personal observation and experience that the completed-files order worked admirably in practice. The chiefs of the Southern and Western Divisions stated that never in their experience had any favoriteism or preference been shown any attorney, and it was their experience that the complete-files order had been of great benefit to claimants for penpions. The investigation of General Raum has proven to be a boomerang against its instigators.

HIS AIDES WERE LATE.

Gen. Howard IH1 Not Receive the Relay Dispateli fntil Monday aiorniiiKNEW YOUK, May :M.—Although tlie relay race was nominally concluded at 1:08 a. m., the message: was not actually delivered to Gen. Howard until 11 o'clock Monday morning1. The last boat to Governor's Island departs at 10::0 p. m., and the two aides-de-camp did not wait the arrival of the message for that reason. The story that it was handed to Lieut. Treat at 1:08 a. in. is untrue. L. C. lioardman and a number of other wheelmen hurried to l'ier A, North river, however, and tried to induce the officer in command of the police boat patrol to take the message to Governor's Island, lie refused to do so. A search for a battery boatman was likewise unsuccessful. At 9 o'clock Monday morning Lieut. McDonald, aide to Gen. Howard, came from Governor's Island and received the message, and hurrying back to Pier 3 connected with the 10:30 boat and delivered it to Gen. Howard at 11 o'clock. When asked his opinion of the bicycle relay service Gen. Howard replied that he had not given the subject sufficient consideration as yet to warrant his making any direct reply, but thought that under the prevailing unfavorable circumstances the trip was made in remarkably quick time.

There is talk of rewarding a medal to that rider who shall be found to have ridden the most meritorious relay. It is thought young "Hobby"' Thorn will receive the medal. Although only a lad 15 years old he took the dispatch from l'orter, lnd., to Otis, in the same state, a distance of S miles, starting out in rain and mud and finishing in a driving'hailstorm. He was taken from his wheel almost senseless when the end of the relay was reached, but not one inch before. He left floundering behind in the mud two of the most expert riders in the state.

CHICAGO, May ^4.—(Jen. Miles, in speaking of the results of the relay bicycle race to New York, said he would be pleased to have the performance repeated. He continued: "This run has demonstrated what ean be done on bad roads and now I think it would be a pood plan to cover the same ground again when the roads have dried and are in good condition The start should be made from New York.' I'm sure that our American bicycle riders would astonish the world by the records they would make, as they have astonished me in this event. Such endurance and pluck 1 never saw witnessed. Cavalrymen could not have covered the distance in twice the time the bicyclists took in getting to New York. They went over bogs through roads covered with water, and into mud that would have held a horse fast. The day of the horseman as a means of rapid communication between places along distance apart is past. The bicycle will take the place ot the horse hereafter. 1 believe that some day bicycles will be generally used, especially when some genius succeeds in supplying electricity as a means to assist in the propulsion of the machines."'

Typhus Fcvor Causes the Dentil of the Son of Cornelius Vanderbilt at NewYork.

NEW YOUK, May 24.—William H. Vanderbilt, aged iil, son of Cornelius Vanderbilt, died Monday night at 10:15 o'clock.

The Bloody Career of Frederick B. Deeming Finished.

HANGED IN PRISON AT MELBOURNE.

He SIIOTVB Little Concern for His Fate— His I^ast Day on Karth—Story of His Unparalleled Career of Infamy.

PAID FOR HIS CHIMKS.

MELBOURNE, May 23.—Deeming was hanged at 10:01 o'clock a. m. Deeming passed Sunday in writing, calmly discussing at intervals his approaching doom. He said he had no intention of making a speech on the scaffold. On Sunday night he thrice swallowed eagerly a small allowance of spirits, after which he slept soundly until he was awakened at 7 o'clock this (Monday) morning. Thcngfor the first time since his arrest the manacles on his wrists were removed and, smoking a cigar, he conversed with those around him. lie declared that he was resigned to his fate and had no fears in regard to the future. To the governor of the prison he had made his peace with persisted in denying that guilty of the l-tain Hill murders, lie had never, he declared, lost his selfcontrol in England as lie had since his arrival in Australia. He expressed gratitude to the governor anil all the prison officials for the consideration they had shown him and also to Mr. Lyle, his counsel, and to all concerned in his defense. He said he thought he would not falter or make any scene on the scaffjoltl.

said he God. He lie was

Crowds Outside the Prison. A few moments before the time sot for the execution Deeming was allowed a glass of brandy, which he swallowed at a gulp, and iie was tojd that he might have more if the prison doctor so ordered. The doomed man was then led to the gallows and in a few moments all was over. The drop was 7 feet.

The execution was witnessed by a large gathering, including government and civil officials, magistrates, police and clergymen. There was an immense crowd outside the prison from an early hour in the morning until long after the execution was over. Order was maintained by a strong force of police.

His Crimes.

With the execution of Deeming there ended the life of one of the greatest criminals the world has ever seen. At the beginning of March last the police at Liverpool received a dispatch from the police at Melbourne stating that the murder of a woman had just coine to light at Windsor, a suburb of Melbourne, and that from certain facts that had been revealed ii was thought that tlio Windsor murderer had killed another woman at Rain Hill, a suburb of Liverpool. The police of the latter place at once started an investigation and soon a most horrible crime was unearthed. Ueneath the hearthstone of a residency known as Dinliam villa, at Kain Hill, there were found the bodies of a woman and four little children.

Jt was soon learned that the house had been occupied by a man who had given his name as Williams, but who, it was subsequently ascertained, was Frederick liailey Deeming, whose family resided in Uirkenhead, across the river from Liverpool. Williams, or, to call him by his right name, Deeming, had married at Kain Hill a young and beautiful girl, a M.'ks Emily Mather, and had sailed for Australia with her, and it was her body that had been lound at Windsor. She, too. had been buried under the hearthstone of the house and her grave was covered with a coating of cement.

A Monster of Iniquity.

The police inquiries into Deeming's career soon revealed that he was a monster of iniquity, guilty of nearly all, if not all, the irimes in the calendar. Numerous swindling transactions were traced to him, principally in mining lands. Detectives followed him to Kngh.nd, where it was found he was living in Birkenhead. Deeming, however, had evaded his pursuers, having left Birkenhead that morning. The pursuit was continued, but Deeming always managed to evade his pursuers, in one instance escaping by just seven minutes. Deeming later appeared in Liverpool under his alias of Williams. He paid addresses to a number of Liverpool ladies, among them one who, from his conversation about the "Jack the Ripper" crimes, became terribly afraid of him. One night he had an engagement to take tea at her home, bt.t he uid not nppear and she never saw him again. It was just about this time that he apj cired at Rain Hill, where his wife ind fani.iy subsequently joined him.

Next Married Miss Mather.

Shortly afterward Mrs. Deeming and the children disappeared, but as Deeming had represented the woman as his sister nothing was thought of tbeir disappearance. It was not long after this that he married Miss Mather and sailed for Australia. During their voyago he developed traits of thoughtfulness and consideration hardly in keeping with the character of the uian as seen in the light of subsequent development. He doctored the sick and saved titbits from his table for the sick steerage passengers. Miss Mather relutes that in addition to his medical quantitations her husband was a skillful modeler and that he filled in a lot of his time working at his models in their cabin.

Planned to Kill His liric

The subsequent facts in connection with the murder of the seAnd Mrs. Deeming are of too recent date to need detailed mention- After Deeming killed her he became engaged to a Miss Kate Rounseville, who was on her way to the Southern Cross gold fields in west Australia to meet and marry him when she learned of his arrest for the murder of his former wife.

Ills Trial and Confenglon. 8fl

When he was taken to Melbourne he assumed »Jovial and c*rtless air, but at his trial he shoved In his manner the terrible mental strain he was undergoing. Alter bo had been condemned to death he made a speech in'court In whioh'he confessed that he had killed his wife, Miss Mather. He appealed to the Victorian executive and to the British privy counoll for a respite, but both refused "to interfere, and accordingly he has paid the full penalty of the law. Had he escaped justfoe In Australia he would have been taken to England, where he would undoubtedly have been hanged for the Rain Hill murders.

An Oil Reservoir Kxplodes.

WHITING, Ind., May 25.—A reservoir of 12,000 barrels of oil, the property of the Standard Oil Company here, exploded Monday with terrific force, entailing a loss of £20.000. Nineteen streams of water are now playing on the flames, which for several hours threatened the destruction of the plant of the company sit this point. Several workmen received slight injuries. The company is at a loss to account for the explosion. The shock was distinctly felt for a distance of 30 miles. The tank was filled with a superior quality of oil, and the rapidity with which it burned prevented any great quantity being saved.

The House Shows Its Feelings on World's Fair Questions.

The Rale or Liquor ot: the Kxpositlon Grounds Practically Prohibited—The Salaries of Two Prominent

Otlicluls R)du'i-d.

POMB POINTS DECIDED.

WASHINGTON, M-ay '-0.—Wednesday was a day of sensational surprises for the world's fair. The house of representatives in committee of the whole not only reduced the salaries of Director General Davis and of Secretary Dickinson, but was also brought unexpectedly face to face with the Sunday closing question and the liquor question, and by test votes decided both of these important questions. The Sunday question, many people think, was as good as settled finally, for a fair majority went on record in favor of Sunday closing by passing the following proviso to the appropriation for the national commission: '•Provided, That in no event shall the exhibits made by the government be open to the public on Sunday."

The proviso applies to the government exhibit only, but it will doubtless be extended to the entire exposition by another amendment which was pending when the house adjourned, and which provides that no part of the amount appropriated for the World's Columbian commission shall be available unless the doors of the exposition shall be closed on Sunday.

Must Xot ST'LL Liquor.

The sale of liquor upon the world's fair grounds was also absolutely prohibited by the passage of the following proviso: ""Provided. That no part of the appropriation shall be available until tli'e board of manago ment shall give satisfactory assurance that no intoxicating liquors shall be sold on the grounds of the exposition."

Ki'duciug tlio Salaries.

Mr. Doekery offered an amendment to the effect that Director General Davis' salary should not exceed SS,000, Secretary Dickinson §3,000, and that there should be only one meeting of the national commission and of the ladies' board during the fiscal year 1892. This called forth a lengthy discussion. The vote was first taken on reducing the director general's salary, and this was passed by a vote of 88 to 49. Then followed the reduction in Secretary Dickinson's salary, which passed by a vote of 92 to 50.

ANOTHER RELAY W E

Bicyclists Plan a Trip from New Torh CroKS-Country to San Francisco. NEW YORK, May 20.—On account oi the bad weather, bad roads and bad time at the recent relay bicycle race from Chicago to New York the wheelmen of this city are discussing the idea of another event of a similar nature. The plan is to start the bicyclists in New York and have them make the trip through Chicago to San Francisco. The idea is tc see how much better time can be made in the trip from New York to Chicago and also the length of time it would take to cross the American continent with a message. As before the aid and cooperation of Gen. Miles and the army officers will be enlisted. The trip wiil probably be made before nest September when the roads are at their best. The Omulm Conference Votes in Favor oi

Kqual Kepresentat

OMAHA, Neb., May —Hishop Walden presided at the Methodist conference. The report of the committee on the Columbian exposition was adopted. It demands that the world's fair be closed on Sunday and that congress at once decide the question by granting an appropriation only upon the express conditions that the fair be closed on that day. The committee on equal representation reported resolutions asking that, the discipline be amended so that each annual conference shall be represent ol by lay delegates of equal number with the ministerial delegates.

After a long and heated discussion the. report of the committee was adopted amid the greatest applause. This gives equal representation to the liiytnen. provided two-thirds of the annual conference 6o vote.
