FRIDAYTMARCH 9. 1891.
Driuxu Harrison's Administration $177..'12t of the public del)t was paid every day. including Sundays.
(iitovKK Cmsvklaxd celebrated the closing of his first year's Administration in the Dismal Swamp of North Carolina. Appropriate place.
Thk Hawaiian matter has lost its public interest, but the fact remains that it represents one of the worst diplomatic scandals of modern times, and that the Democratic party will be duly punished for it.
C'Ai'T. Ai.kx lli:ss. of Wabash, was in ::the city to-day circulating among the Republicans, lie is a candidate for
Clerk of the Supreme Court before the State convention, apt. 11 ess served three years and a half in the Second Indiana Cavalry and has a proud record. lie was twice captured and spent seyen months in Southern prison pens. •lie is a lawyer of ability and is personally quite popular. Wabash county gives a Republican majority of .1,500 and justly claims a representative on 'the State ticket, not having had one lor twenty-eight years when Thomas MeCartv was elected Auditor of State.
Chicago Intcr-Occan: Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa, made a good point in the pension debate yesterday, lie made the assertion that the late Confederate States contributed not one dollar toward the payment of pensions of Union veterans, and followed this by the statement that of the §150.000,000 internal revenue taxes the South paid less than §9.000.000: of the SI 77,'.000.000 customs receipts only $4,000,000. and of the miscellaneous receipts less than 8:i,000.000. In return the South is paid £9.(Mi().00() in sugar boanty,
S55.000.000 in pensions, and £5,(100.000 as a deficit in postal receipts. This was a center shot and there was no reply.
IjKoi'oM) Li'.vv. of Huntington, is a candidate for State Treasurer before the Republican State Convention. The "Warsaw Time* speaking of him. says: "Mr. Levy was born in Germany, but coming to this country when only fifteen years of age. lie has become thoroughly Americanized and is wedded to tlie underlying principles upon which this government is founded, lie lias been a Republican ever since gaining a vote in this country, and his .. political record is without a blemish.
He possesses many attributes that would make him a formidable candidate. if nominated, and careful, pains-taking, efficient officer, if elect ed."
Cai'T. .Iohn W. Coons, of Indianapolis. was in the city to-day looking after his interests as a candidate for Auditor •of State, ('apt. Coons was the. candidate for Auditor on the State ticket in
I.S'.t:.', but went down in the politica maelstrom of that year, though through no fault of his own. He came from Bremen. Germany, in Ih55. and when the war broke out he enlisted in the II tli .Indiana, General Lew Wallace's regiment, anil, serving four years, was mustered out in 1S05 with the rank of Captain. Beginning his army life as a private soldier, within six months lie had a commission, lie was also Assistant Adjutant-General on General McGinnis' staff. As an accountant he probably has no superior anywhere and has had a large and varied experience in this line of work. He makes speeches both in Knglisli and German and would add great strength to the ticket.
Thk last public debt statement issued by Secretary Charles Foster, which appeared on March 1, 1893, showed that the public debt at the close of business on February '-'8, was SI.505.110,090.Oil, a decrease of $6,192,117 below the total on January 31 preceding. The statement issued by Secretary Carlisle on March 1, 1894, shows that the public debt, at the close of business on February 28. 1894, was SI.017,205,922.43, an increase over the total of .January 31 preceding of S42.227.099.50, and a total increase over the debt when Benjamin Harrison went out of office of §52,145,823.80. The interest-bearing debt oil February 28, 1893, was §585,034,500. On February 28. 1894. it was 8025,872,000, an increase of $40,837,440. So much for one year of Democratic rule. At the same ratio of increase during the four years of Grover the interest bearing debt will be more by §103,349.700 than it was at the beginning of liis term. Verily, the Democracy is a debt making instead of a debt paying party.
THEM UXICll'AL TICK KT. firout interest was taken in the Republica.li primary election held Tuesday to nominate a municipal ticket. The lartre vote polled indicates that
and intend that they will be heard from not only at the approaching May election but at the election to be held ill November. While much interest, was manifested Tuesday on the part of the different candidates and their respective friends, yet no ill feeling as engendered and the election passed off in the utmost good humor. When the result, was announced it was acquiesced in cheerfully but without .my demonstration on the part of the victors, as all realized that it was not a contest with political opponents but among- political friends. There, was a wealth of good material from which to choose and it was difficult on the part of many voters just for whom they should east their ballots. Upon the part of such it was merely a choice between personal friends determined by so slight an influence as the flip of a copper. The ticket nominated is one that will command the hearty and enthusiastic support, not only of every Republican, but of many Democrats.
Fred C. Handel, the nominee for Mayor, lias served one. term and notwithstanding the difficulties surrounding the position he has filled it with an ability equal to any. lie has discharged his duties with a conscientious regard for the law and the testimony.
the Republicans are thoroughly alive. has not always been the most satisfac-
William K. Nicholson's vote for Treasurer indicated that lie lias not lost the conlldence of the people in his official integrity, lie has filled the office to the satisfaction «of everybody.
Joseph I). Tracy, the nominee for City Clerk, is well known to the people, having served as assistant postmaster under Mr. Honnell during the last four years. He is a genial gentleman. popular with everybody and will make a capable and efficient clerk. .lames 1*. Grimes, the nominee for Marshal, has served several years as patrolman and thoroughly understands the difficult and trying duties that devolve upon that officer. The majority of the voters indicated that they had faith to believe that lie would discharge them fearlessly and without favor. .lolin F. Wilhite. the candidate chosen for Councilman in the First ward, is an excellent citizen, a progressive and enterprising man. and will make a careful and painstaking City Father.
George 10. Robinson, the nominee for Councilman in the Second ward, is thoroughly identified with the interests of the city, is a good business man, anil possesses all the qualifications for a first class officer.
William N. Mc ampbell. who was nominated for Councilman in the First ward, is an active and thorough goinj. gentleman, takes a deep and intelligent interest, in the welfare of the city and will discharge the duties devolving upon him with a conscientious regard for all.
Such is the ticket that the Republicans present for the consideration of the voters. There it stands. 1.5eat it if von can.
lUil'OUM I N't TJIli LIQlOli I'liA l'KIt The Scandinavian system of regu lating the liquor traffice. known as the Gothenburg system, is the next plan that will be vigorously attempted in the I'niteil States. Prohibition and high license have each been tried in different sections of the country, and for brief periods, without finally solving the liquor question. The Gothenburg system is now likely to be tried, first perhaps in Massachusetts. This system eliminates the possibility of personal profit from the sale of liquor, and throws many restrictions around it. The income is used for various public purposes, and the sale of liquor is under the direct supervision of responsible men of high character. So cial reformers in every part of the country are giving it close study with reference to our American conditions An ardent believer in this system is Dr. 10. R. L. Gould, who is one of our foremost students of social subjects and who last year went to Norway to make a. personal study of this system
Dr. Gould writes in the. March number of the Forum a definite explanation of how it would work when appiieil American conditions.

Thk Supreme Court lias made a ile cision that clothes county auditor with enlarged powers in assessing property for taxation. The case was that of Isaac Reynolds, auditor of Car roll county, against N. W. Bowman administrator of the estate of Abner 11. Bowen, The decision disposes of tax cases in several counties. Tlie auditor set out in his complaint that he was denied access to the books of the estate, and that proceeding upon such information as he could obtain he added property ranging from year to year on amounts from $104,000 to $252, to the duplicate. Taxes alleged to be due amounted to about $30,000. The Supreme Court holds for the Auditor all along the line. The law invests liiin with all the powers of assessor. From the nature of the case he could give only a general description of the property omitted from taxation. Where a title is sought through a tax sale the statute is strictly construed in favor of the owner, but not where the owner is attempting to avoid the payment of his just taxes. ..
A GOOD SVGGKSTIOX.
For years the Republicans of Wayne county have been nominating their candidates for county officers by the primary election system. Tlie result
tor v. In fact a few years ago so unsatisfactory was the result that notwithstanding the normal Republican majory is the Democrats succeeded in electing a portion of their ticket and the majorities of those Republicans who were elected were greatly reduced. The plan is utterly demoralizing. and the sentiment is growing among the better class of Republicans in that county against the primary election system. The Richmond Itulcjicndoil suggests a plan for selecting di'legates to a delegate convention which, we believe has some merit and worthj' of consideration. It says:
We believe that a system of drawing delegates as jurors are drawn is the best solution of the question. Let us have a delegate convention composed i)f. say 300 delegates, apportioned to the different townships and precincts ~y the Republican vote in each preinct or township. Let the county entral committee meet and deposit in a box ten names from each precinct for every delegate to be drawn, and then let the names be drawn from the box in the same manner as jurors are. lraw. and you will have good men to serve as delegates. The delegates should be drawn a day before holding the convention. Ky that means collision. wire pulling anil boodling would avoided, and the ticket nominated selected with a view to competency, fitness and other qualifications.
Tliis would remove the most objecionable features of a delegate convention, which everybody knows to be that of packing the delegations with the friends of this or that candidate. I'his plan would break all slates, burst ill rings and smash all combinations. The ten or twenty names from each township, for that matter, could be selected by some other means than by the county central committee. The idea is to remove all the possibilities of ring and clique rule. This plan, or something similar, we believe would work admirably.
Hon. Chaim.ks D. Long, a .fudge of the Supreme Court of Michigan, who was dropped from the pension rolls by Lochren without due notice, and who has a case pending before the I'nited States Supreme Court, in an address before the G. A. R. Posts, of Flint. Mich., on "Patriotism and Pensions." arraigned the Commissioner of Pensions severely for cutting off the suppert of old soldiers without giving them a chance to show that they deserve a pension, and said: "There was a time when Congress controlled the regulation of pensions, but we are coming to a time when one lias been raised up who is mightier than all those before him and one who has sought to sweep out with one stroke of the pen the entire obligation of the Government to the old soldiers, .lately, as you know. 1 have taken issue on this proposition, and. God helping me. 1 will stand my ground, if necessary, until the highest tribunal in the country has decided our common cause, and that the Commissioner has not arbitrary power higher even than that of the President himself."
Doiuni his first six months of his official duties Commissioner Lochren granted 000 pensions, as against :il 1.000 during the same period in the last year of Kauin's occupancy of the Pension Bureau. In less than a year Lochren suspended 1:.',(KK) pensioners.
