PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS. The surface drainage of Crawfordsville is comparatively a simple problem. The natural lay of the land needs only intelligent supplementing to carry off tbe storm water. But the question of house drainage is a more serious one and surely needs the careful consideration of a sewer expert. There will have to be at least one large trunk sewer, probably running east and west and having its mouth at least a mile from town, apart from any dwalling, HO as not to be a nuisance. This is built at the public expense. Smaller sewers connecting with this one are built at the expense of tjje property owners. It is not necessary to complete a sewerage system before paving IB done but it is important that no paving be torn up in order to put sewers under it. Let tne tax payers be studying up the subject of permanent improvements, for we are going to have them. They will raise property values, attract people to live here, make life more pleasant for those of us who expect to stay here always, anyhow.

BEFORE John E. Risley was appointed as Minister to Denmark he was an obscure individual, scarcely known in New York whither he went thirty years ago with $1,800 belonging to the Knights of the Golden Circle. He sprang into fame suddenly by his connection with that treasonable order being exposed. Even to this day a rebel with a gun in his hand at the front is more highly respected than a traitor in the rear. The latter was despised and scorned bv the soldiers on both sides.

IN 1891, for the twelve months ending December 31, the value of corn exported from the United States to foreign countries #19,876,526. In 1892, for the corresponding period, under Republican reciprocity and protection, the value of such exports was 841,416,378. This increase of §21,530,852 or 108 per cent, was largely due to Republican reciqrocity and protection, and free traders may as well "acknowlege the corn."

IT is in accordance with the eternal fitness of things that Capt. Felix Shoemate, a gallant Union soldier, who for the past three and a half years has been postmaster at Labanon, should surrender the office to Henry C. Ulen, who served four years in the Confederate service. The Confederates (formerly rebels) seem to be on top.

BARTLETT TRIPP, of South Dakota, is the gentleman who will succeed Col. Fred D. Grant at Vienna. Instead of retaining Lincoln and Grant as was recently reported that the President intended to do they were among the first to go. The sons of distinguished patriots and statesmen fare no better than the sons of men of lesser note.

THE Lafayette Courier is unkind enough to remark that the Democrats who rode in the band wagon and barouches last campaign are those who are being most favored in the distribution of patronage at Washington, and the fellows who trudged along in the processions carrying kerosene torchlights are apparently not in it at all.

LAST summer the Demociats stigmatized the McKinley tariff law as "the culminating atrocity of class legislation" and demanded its prompt repeal in the interest of a poverty-stricken people but now they appear to think that it is a very good law to let alone.

WILLIAM DUDLEY FOULKE, the professional civil service reformer who stumped the State last fall for Cleveland, seems to have been lost in the shuffle. He should have a consulship or a poetoffice.

ANEW SHIBBOLETH.

Private Dalzell was recedtly invited to make an address at Cincinnati on next Decoration Day and declined in the following characteristic letter:

DEAR COMRADE: I have made some sort—or, to be plain and candid, the same sort—or, to be still more ingenuous and unequivocal, the very same sort —of a Decroation address ever since Logan issued the first order for observing the day. But that will not do now. It is gone out of fashion. I do not know if I can get up one exactly adjusted to the new conditions. I am afraid I am too old to learn new tunes. It is hard to meet the requirements of the New Empire. This new Pharaoh doesn't know the Joseph I trained under.

I cannot sing the old songs in a strange land. Besides, they won't let me. Instead of "Marching Ihrough Georgia," it is Georgia marching through us! For "Down with the traitors, up with the stars," they want me to sing "Up with the traitors, down with the stars." The glad old tefrain, "We are coming, Father Abraham," must now be sung "We are going, Father Abraham."

It's all a new shibboleth my lips refuse to utter. I don't wonder Lincoln's monument is tottering into ruin while we are building monuments to rebels and chanting their praises. It is an awful huddling and pigging of saints and sinners in the same bed, and I am afraid if I tried it my tongue would be paralyzed—and the truth to tell, I hope it may be if I do."

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is prolific in issuing orders and laying down rules to guide him in the distribution of the spoils. He has lived up to none of them. Nepotism against which he inveighed in such strong terms reigns supreme, and extends from Cabinet officers, Senators, Congressmen down through all the departments. His order that no "ex-officer" need apply has been ignored and an "ex" gets a plum every day. The rule in regard to editors wasn't eyen a nine hours wonder. The latest to promulgate is that the names of the fourth class postmasters shall not be given out to the press. It must be that he is ashamed of the men he appoints. Cleveland's civil service reform, like Macbeth's physic, is to be thrown to the dogs. He'll have "none of it."

THE State Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Evansville yesterday by a unanimous vote removed George J. LangBdale as a member of the State Monument Commission because of his dictatorial efforts in diverting the monument from its original intent and purpose by placing in the upper astragal the figures "1846" and "1847," thus robbing it of its object in being sacred to the memory of the heroism and sacrifices of men who fell in the war for the preservation of the Union^ The course of Mr. Langsdale as a member of the Commission is beyond comprehension.

C. W. CUNNINGHAM, of Crawfordsville, has not given up his designs on a consulship. He arrived here yesterday,and was taken up to the White House by the Senators this morning.—Washington Correspondence Indianapolis News.

From the above it would appear that Con doesn't place much faith in Cleveland's alleged antipathy to gentlemen who attempt to carry water on both shoulders. Con should have taken with him a letter of recommendation from John S. Brown.

THE verdict of the jury in the Murphy case at Lafayette will meet the hearty approval of all law abiding people everywhere. Fool fanatics must learn that the freedom of speech cannot be throttled in America. Law and order must be maintained at whatever cost. The effect of the verdict will be whole-

A RULING of Pension Commissioner Raum, allowing an attorney's fee of $10 on an application for an increase of pension has been reversed. It is held thafr a fee of only §2 can be allowed. Probably 200,000 claims are affectected by this decision.

THE talk that Greeham will resign from the Cabinet is all moonshine. Gresham has been sucking tlie Government teat for the last thirty years and he was never known to resign one office until there was a better one in sight.

THE election law of Missouri requires the election board to count the ballots every hour. Why is this not an improvement over the old method of waiting until all the ballots are cast?

LAW partners have the call. Vice President Stevenson's partner was pro vided for yesterday. Nepotism seems to have cut some figure also, as the partner is his cousin.

THE "iniquitous tariff" don't seem to bother the Democrats now. They will let the people "suffer under a constitutional burden" while they squabble over the spoils.

THE Anderson Times has suspended publication, another illustration of the fact that two county papers of the same politics cannot live in onefield.

Must He l'olitH'lmis.

The second day's session of the conference of tbe Church of Latter Day Saints was opened Wednesday morning by Counsellor George Q. Cannon. The tabernacle was again packed, standing room in the aisle being at a premium

After prayer by Apostle John Taylor Apostle Franklin D. Richards addressed the conference. Apostle Richards said he was trying to love his enemies that he hoped eventually to arrive at this condition of mind, but it was a hard road to travel just now. Brig-ham Young, Jr., was the next speaker. Apostle Young said that politics is as important to the Latter Day Saints as religion and should be so considered by the Mormon church. He predicted that the destiny of the Latter Day Saints is to become powerful politicians and that the saints will become the rulers of the world. Apostle Young reviewed the history of Mormondom from the Nauvoo proscription and expressed gratitude for the deliverance and prosperity of the saints.

Woodruff Gets Another Term. At the afternoon session of the conference 12,000 people crowded into the tabernacle and between 3,000 and 4,000 occupied Assembly hall, where an overflow meeting was held. First Presidential Councilor Cannon read the list of officers of the church which had been proposed for the ensuing year. President Wilford Wood-

rufT, First Vice Presidential Councilor George Q. Cannon and Second Vice Presidential Councilor Joseph F. Smith were retained as members of the presidency. Lorenzo Snow was retained as president of the twelve apostles, who were also named. All of the above-named officers were chosen by vote of the prophets, seers and revelators of the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints.

The Magnificent Kiliiice.

The exterior of the temple was completed .md the cupstono laid June '5, 18!):.!, the thirtyninth anniversary of the laying of the corner stone. The ceremonies were attended by over 50,000 people. A copper plate, inscribed with historical data, various church publications, photographs, etc.. were laid in the capstone.

It is surmounted by a figure representing the angel "Maroni," a statue 12 feet in height, of hammered copper plated with heavy gold leaf. It stands 222 feet above the earth and is a graceful and pretty object, holding to its lips a golden trumpet, through which is being sounded tho glad tidings of "the latter-day saints" to the people of the earth. The angel "Maroni," according to the Mormon belief, appeared and revealed to Joseph Smith the hiding place of the golden tablets, on which is inscribed the book of Mormon. This statue, as seen from the street, is a fitting crown to the grand architectural lines on which tho temple is built.

The dimensions of this crowning architectural effort of the "latter-day saints" are as follows: Its whole length is 186 feet and width 99 feet. There are six towers, threo on the east and three on the west end of tho structure Total height to top of highest spire, 222'A feet height of walls, 167^4 feet the thickness of walls at bottom, 9 feet thickness of walls at top. 8 feet.

The font is of bronze and rests on the backs of twelve lifesized bronze oxen, three looking to tho east, three to the wost, threo to the north and three to the south.

HELPED TO KILL HIS BRIDE.

Sensational Forced Wedding in Kentucky I'.nds iti Double Tragedy. MOUOAM-IEI.D, Ivy., April 6. —There was a sensational affair in this county Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Miss Abbie Oliver, of Sturgis, Union county, tho beautiful young1 daughter of Mr. Taylor Oliver, was led astray some time ago, and llenry Delaney, a young drug clerk of Sturgis, was charged with causing her downfall. He deuied it and both parties sought legal advice, but no proceedings were had in court.

Tuesday night about 9 o'clock the mother of the girl entered Delaney's place of business and at the point of a pistol forced him to accompany her to a carriage outside, in which her husband and daughter were seated. The four drove to Morganiield, a distance of 15 miles, and at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning a license was secured and the couple were married. The party started home, but when they reached Teerhim, about 3 miles from Morganfield. four men on horseback surrounded the carriage and began shooting. After the first shot Delaney jumped out of the vehicle and ran to the attacking party, who were supposed to be his friends, and the firingcontinued. The young bride was shot through the,head and hgr father in the face and right arm. Mrs. Oliver alone escaped without a wound. She drove the team at full speed for a mile down the road and turned in at a farm residence. The attacking party followed, shooting at every jump. The girl was fatally wounded and died at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Oliver is fatally wounded. Mrs. Oliver recognized the members of the party and warrants for the arrest of four prominent young men are being issued. The families are of high standing and sympathy is with the Olivers. Mobbing is feared and the whole country is wild with excitement. Svi

CHOLERA IS SHOWING.

It Iicappcars with Virulence in Its Old Kussiun Jiaunls. ST. PETEKSBUKG, April (3.—There i: now scarcely a doubt that Russia is to again suffer from the ravages of cholera. Concurrent with the setting in of slightly warmer weather the official reports show the recurrence of the disease in nearly all the places which it wrought havoc last summer and autumn. Official returns have been made public showing from March 19 to March 20 there were sixtT-five cases of cholera and nineteen deaths from the disease in the town of Orel. With its trade with the various sections of the country Orel is particularly liable to suffer from epidemic diseases, more particularly cholera, and it is also a point for the dissemination of the disease. The official figures place the number of cases reported from March 1 to March 27 in the government of Oofa, lying west of the Ural mountains. at eighty-four, and the deaths at twenty-nine. From March 22 to March 29 there were ten cases and four deaths in the government of Yeltsavetpol, in Transcaucasia. In addition to the bad showing of the above official figures it is a matter of common knowledge that the number of cholera cases and deaths from the scourge are far more numerous in the governments that are not included in the returns. This is especially the case in the governents of Podolia and Saratoff, which were ravaged by cholera last year.

LONDON, April 6.—The British government has sent a circular to the post office officials in Great Britain and Ireland notifying them that since March 22 there have been fifty-one deaths from cholera in L'Orient in the department of Morbihan, France.

Wonderful Growth of a Boy.

The French Academy of Sciences is responsible for this remarkable story of a boy's growth: ''The subject herein mentioned was a lad of but seven years of age when 1 first saw him, but, his tender years notwithstanding, he measured four feet eight inches and four lines in height. His people had observed his marvelous growth when he was only two years of age. At four he was able to lift and carry a bushel of wheat and to throw the bundles of hay (sixty-eight pounds) to the four horses each night. At six he could lift as much as any sturdy young man in the neighborhood. But, although he thus increased in bodily strength, his understanding wa& no greater than that of the average child of his age." .'
