Tnrc JOUKNAL still maintains that the crying need of the hour is a system of sewerage.
MADISON Courier: Crawfordsville has a paid fire department and a municipal light plant of its own. Its present council realize that street improvements up to this time have been a farce and they now propose to build streets of brick, to build them for the future.
TIIE recent outrage perpetrated by some students of the Ohio Wesleynn University on some of their fellows by branding their faces which will disfigure them for life, has moved the Ohio Legislature to pass a bill providing for a severe penalty. Such legislation is wholesome.
THE Indiana Natural Gas and Illuminating Compony, which now owns the Crawfordsville plant, came into possession yesterday of the plant at Lebanon. The price paid for the Lebanon property was $140,000. This company also owns the Frankfort plant. The local management of each will remain substantially as it is now.
THK sheriffs of the State have begun an organized fight on the fee and salary law by filing'a test suit in the courts at Indianapolis. The law deprives them of the mileage provided in the old fee law, and it is alleged that the law is unconstitutional and void. The compensation of every State and county officer in the State hangs upon the decision in this case, as the law in question reduces all the officers' salaries.
A
WASHINGTON
correspondent says'
that the boys down on Newspaper Row have tallied Representative Bookshire by writing him up as the double of Edwin Booth. The same correspondent says that Representative is as square as Aristides, and is going to respect the ballot box. He will recommend the patriot with the most votes to be a postmaster and with the postmasters stand. This is what THE JOUKNAL has all along been suggesting. If Congressman BrookBhire sticks to the policy announced to the newspaper men a ptimary election will be held in Crawfordsville for postmaster.
THE Republican meetings in Louisville, May 10 and 11, will be highly important. They will include the National League of Republican Clubs, the Protective Tariff League, the National Committee and the American College League. A large number of the great party leaders and speakers will be present. The President of the College League issues an earnest request for a large representation of College men. Each college in the United States will be nti delegates in the College League Convention, and one delegate in the National League of Republican Clubs. The Republican Club of Wabash College should therefore select five young men who will go. This is a recognition which college men should not ignore.
THE Democratic convention last June in its platform, said: We denounce the Republican legislation known as the Sherman act 1800 us a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities of danger in the future, which should make all of its supporters, as well as its author, anxious lor its speedy repeal.
As the Democrats have elected their President and control both houses of Congress why is not a special session called and this "cowardly makeshift" repealed ?QWhy whine about the "perplexities and difficulties" which "confront us at every turn"' when they have the President and Congress in their own hands. What Republican Administrations have accomplished through unparalleled difficulties, the present Administration should maintain in a time of peace and prosperity. There will be absolutely no excuse for Mr. Cleveland if he fails to preserve unimpaired the sterling public credit which the Republican party turned over to him as one of its most precious legacies.
A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION. A great many doubt the wisdom of paving Main street until we have a system of sewerage well under way. THE JOUKNAL would therefore make the following suggestion: Curb the street from one end to the other this year and pass an ordinance requiring all connections of every kind to be made. Then instead of spending the money to pave put it into a big intercepting sewer on Market street.
In this way we would have the foundation of our sewerage system and besides Main street would be all already to go to work on bright and early next year. There is no danger in this way of losing the opportunity to pave, for the council will be composed of the same members. It will Btart the sewerage and paving movements both on the right basis and before the present council retires they will have set a pace which no future council will dare disregard. For it is a sure thing that when sewerage and paving are once began the people, including those who now oppose them, will insist on having them all over town.
REV. 11. V. ELUNTKU, President of the Anti-Liquor League of Indiana, has issued a circular explaining its objects and aims. He quotes from the constitution of the organization to show that it is not the intention that any member should surrender his party preferences in the present political organizations as they exist, and that the League is not organized in the interest of, nor in opposition to, any jaolitical party. It proposes to deal solely with candidates as individuals. Each member is expected to participate as usual in his own party caucus and work to secure the nomination of acceptable men. Only those candidates who will give satisfactory evidence of being sound on the temperance question will receive their votes.
THE cost of laying 13,224'square yards of fire brick paving in Wilmington, Del., during the fiscal year 1891-2, as given in the last annual report of the street and sower department, was .$2.10 per square yard. Most of the paving was on stone foundation and most of it was tarred. Some of the paving which was not tarred was grouted. On the different streets the percentage of loss of bricks per square yard varied from 1 9-10 to 4A per cent. Nearly all the brick used averaged about $18.50 per thousand in cost, but some were bought for $14, all delivered at Wilmington.
THE health officers are urging cleanliness in streets, back yards and alleys. If their warnings are heard and heeded it will mean a largely decreased death rate. If Crawfordsville had sewers it would be an easy city to clean. Sewers or no sewers the city needs cleaning from limit to limit. Some of the streets and alleys are in a fearful condition. Cholera may come or it may not. It is well to be prepared. There may be great danger in delay.
As commodities cheapen their consumption increases. Much more sugar per capita is used in the United States now than was used before the McKinley act went into operation. The law, which put raw sugar on the free list, cheapened that article to the extent of the duty removed. Consumption will decrease again, of course, if the Democrats are' able to carry out their plan to put sugar back on the dutiable list.
THE London Economist, a very conservative paper, estimates that 300,000 foreigners will arrive in America during the next six months, and that they will spend while here an aggregate of $50,000,000. It infers that this amount of foreign gold, together with diminished tourist travel from this country, will exert an important influence upon the gold movement.
A SUIT has been filed by the SherifFs of the Stale to test the constitutionality of the fee and salary law. It is the opinion of many able lawyers that the act will not pass the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. It was not intended by its authors that it should stand. The passage of the law was merely a trap to catch gudgeons.
THE Louisville Times aptly remarks that if the siver bugs and the gold bugs can compel Uncle Sam to sell bonds to get gold to buy silver that he has no use for, they will have the old gentleman right where they want him—between the gold devil and the silver sea.
JUDGE HARNEY Bhould see to it that the grand jury is quickly called and that a thorough investigation is made of the burning of the Dunkard church in Sugar Creek township. Such outrages should not be passed unnoticed.
NEW national banks are being established right along, and the West and South, whose Democrats have been cursing these banks from the beginning, are getting most of them.
THE conviction of Clark, one of the LaFayette rioters, is but another evidence of a healthy public sentiment in favor of a rigid enforcement of law. This sentiment may at times be latent but when aroused is equal to the occasion, Law breakers must be taught that they cannot continue trampling down with impunity the very safeguards of the liberties of the people without meeting with just and merited retribution. Free speech in this country cannot be throttled. Democrats, Republicans, Populists and Mugwumps in politics, Protestants, Catholics and Jews in religion have equal rights under our constitution and laws. Those who think differently from us have the same privileges to express their opinions that we possess to express ours. A man may be a Catholic, or he may be an A. P. A. Neither has the right to say that the other shall not exist and to enforce
culture
hiB
say with violence. To attempt to suppress freedom of thought, freedom of speech or freedom of action,is violation of law. And the man or set of men who will engage in suppressing a lawful assemblage by unlawful means merit and deserve the fate of Murphy and Clark.
TIIE $200,000 monument' erected'at Indianapolis to the memory of the Mexican soldiers will be dedicated on Sept. 7 next, by the "militia and Mexican soldiers." The soldiers of the civil war will not be in it.
THE season is backward, but if moderately fair weather comes now this may be a good year for crops. A reasonably fair yield in the staple crops would, three or four months hence, turn the balance of trade in our favor.

Bmitfl-Pox in Wall I1 a per.
Mirny years ago a person was sick oi •mall-pox in a farm house in the country town of Groton, and after tiie patient recovered t,ho dwelling *vas furnlKiitud arid repapertsd. Ira Chester and family now dwell in the house. The paper was removed a week or so ago, and presently Mr. Chester's daughter was stricken with small-pox. lu the opinion of tho physician the germs of the disease were dormant in the walls of the room. In no other way is the child's sickness to be accounted for. since she had not been otherwise exposed to the malady.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
We are forcibly reminded by tiie above clipping from the Cincinnati Enquirer of the claims made by the sanitarians, which are. no doubt, true to a certain eMent.that all disease germs find bidinir place and
ground best adapted to their nature,
and to help them along in their mission in life, in wall paper, with its vegetable paste to hold it on tiie wall, and its animal glue to hold Its colors that these, to say the least.are not the best materials with which to cover so much space around us as the walls in which we live and sleep, and that, paper and glue are great absorbents of moisture, of which every person throws oil a certain number of ounces in exhalations every day. and that sucli decaying material as glue and paste gives oft deleterious gases in such small quantities that we do not discover them, though those who study It can smell it in most rooms papered, and especially wliero a number of layers of paper liavo been pasted upon each other, a common "nasty practice.''
Thoy claim that these conditions have moro to do with our ill-health than we are awaro of tiiat such a state of tilings in the room in which wo live affects us more than does a change of climate, which so many seek when they find themselves failing lu health that it would bo cheaper, at least, to try a change of room or one coateil with some non-decaving mate rial, before going to tho expense and trouble of a change of climate. Those who live in such rooms are not usually made sick unto death, but it is claimed that they do not enioy as good health as they otherwise might.

A NIAGARA ADVENTURE.
The Involuntary Swim of I.,rir?ro New* fotindland Near the Croat Cataract.
Not
long
since a very exciting ad
venture took place at Niaeara. As several tourists were walking along the shore of Luna island, above the cataract. they saw a large Newfoundland dog leaning from a rock, and engaged in lapping water from the rushing current. The rock was slippery and the dog not very nimble and presently his feet slipped, and he fell headlong into tho water.
In a moment, sayn the Youth's Companion, the dog was drawn out into the current, and well on his way toward the cataract. Even so good a swimmer as the average Newfoundland dog could make no headway againstsucli a stream.
The bystanders, horrified, pressed toward the falls to see what should become of the unfortunate dog. To their great surprise they saw him landed by the current, and with great force, upon a rock near the Cave of the Winds.
From this position he was rescued, with much courage, by four tourists. He was found to be bleeding heavily, as the result of his collisions with the rocks, and probably he would have died soon if he had not been carried to a vetinary surgeoS, who stopped the bleeding and bound up the wounds.
Several hours later he returned to the shore, limping, but wagging his tail very cheerfully. His tail was about the only part of his body which had escaped injury, and he appeared to be determined to use it to the best advantage.
Since this adventure the Newfoundland has been quite a hero at Niagara. Lie still haunts the neighborhood of the precipice, but ho is no longer seen trying to drink out of the river.

Castoria Is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider tho real interest of their children, and use Castoria instead of tho various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves."
