Indiana, as second-class matter,
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1894. ... --jrrjjlP
THK Government always lias to borrow money to pay its ordinary expenses when the Democratic party is in control of its affairs.
THK President is again "indisposed,' and the newspaper correspondents are very considerate in calling it a case of "sprained anUle." It don go'by that name out West.
TUP: tax-payers of the State owe (Ireen Smith a debt of gratitude that lie did not carry oil" the State House when he retired from the Attorney (ioneral's ollice.
TIIK Atlanta it a Democratic paper, thinks it curious that the gold reserve was never impaired until drover Cleveland became President and Secretary of the Treasury.
"WHEN you catch a black cat. skin it to the tail." has passed into a proverb at Indianapolis and every inky colored feline that sticks up its head in the city of concentric circles is flushed for slaughter. The complaint is that there are more butchers than there are cats.
EVKKY
dollar's worth of increased
imports due to lowered tariff means that much less production in the United States, that much less employment for Americans, and that much less wages. The verdict of the recent elections shows that the workingmen have learned this lesson.
TIIK largest vote the Republicans of Indiana ever cast before the .present year was for Harrison in 1SSS. The Republican vote in 1S93 fell off to :}ri,:i:sr. This year it broke the record by going up to :.'S-1.4S". a strong indication that not a few of the lloosier Democrats voted with the Republicans
CHICAGO Inter-Oreim: The President's head gave way some time ago. and now it is his foot, just when it is most needed upon the brake of the Democratic wagon, on a down grade. AH he can do will be to follow the example of the fellow who yoked himself with a calf, and the animal ran away, and he could only shout: "(.let out of the road: here we come."
Tun Congress chosen in November will not meet until December, IS',15, more than a year after the election. Whatever may have been the reasons for this in the early days of the Re public these reasons no longer exist and Congress should convene soon after it is chosen. The law should therefore be changed so that the Congress elect ed in November should begin its work in the following December or at any rate not later than the 4th of March succeeding.
TIIK iibson county .Lender suggests that the next Legislature should change the law relative to the election of county school superintendents, so that the oflice. will be filled by popular vote, the same as other county oflices, instead of by the vote of the township trustees as present. The present mode •of electing is unsatisfactory, unjust and unwise, and injects more politics into the ollice than would the popular vote, besides tending to give a select few a pull upon the oilicers elected.
CoMMKNTiNfi on Gas Inspector .Tordon's report, the Frankfort News says: Coming right on the heels of Gas Inspector Jordan's report, Muncie sends word that the strongest well ever developed in that vicinity was drilled into yesterday. There is a growing suspicion that either the inspector does not know his business from a scientific standpoint or that he is standing in with the gas companies, who use his report to enable them to increase the price to consumers. The truth is -Inspector Jordan does not know anything about the matter, neither does anyone else for that matter. The supply may be permanent or it may fail in time, but there is no immediate danger of failure.
THK Indianapolis Sentinel prints a symposium by eight Demoratic editors in answer to the question, What caused the defeat? They agree on their postmortem statements just about to the same extent that the Senate. House and President agree. No two of them are of one mind as to the cause and no two of them agree as to the remedy. One says that the Wilson-Gorman-Brice bill contains too'much protection another that it has too little. One avers that it was the failure to adopt the free coinage of silver: another that it was the 1 to 1 free coinage foolishness. All of which go to show that the Democratic party ation of ideas.
WOIIK FOIt THE J.KGISI.ATUKK. Much has been written and said about the duty of the incoming Legislature, and to conform to the prevailing fashion, THK JOUKNAI. will express its opinion. There will doubtless be. and ought to be some changes made in our fee and salary laws. The present Democratic law is a badly botched job. Hut in saying this, we do not mean to be understood as favoring the old law under which men in some counties made fortunes in a single term. The law ought to be so amended as to give every county ollieer a fair and reasonable compensation for his labor and the responsibility of his trust. Fees should not be so large as £0 make any position an object pf
heated contention. Unduly liii-J^e pay attached to any oflice begets corruption as surely as troublesome, weeds grow from seed scattered on the ground. A fair compensation for faithful services is what the people will receive with favor.
Our temperance law should be amended in several particulars. The people of this country are. and always lave been opposed to all flax* legislation. Yet the present liquor law was framed by a corrupt gang known as t.iie Freedom and Right Society, whose hired attorney wrote every sentence of if, and so framed the law as to be no restraint whatever on the retail tratlic. We all know that under this law the vilest creatures constantly procure licenses and go unpunished when they violate the. law. The should should be so amended as to give the commissioners greater power to reject applications. Another amendment should provide for an absolute forfeiture of the license upon proof of violation of the law. Another amendment should be to hold the seller of liquors responsible for all damages growing out of the sale whether the law be violated by the sale or not. This has long been the law in New York and it has imposed much restraint on the traffic.
The Australian ballot law should be amended in several minor particulars. In the first place it should provide that the members of the Board of Election Commissioners should be compensated for their work. The labors of the Commissioners are onerous and exacting and it would be but justice that they should be paid. In the next place provision should be made for saving the voted ballots, so that in case a recount is demanded by either party the demand could be complied with. Requiring the ballots to burned is lending law to cover up frauds if any are committed. The stamp should be abolished and the voter permitted to use a pencil. If a voter marks the square surrounding the emblem and then marks the square preceding the man for whom he wishes to vote the ballot should not be invalidated. The intention of the voter when the board can arrive at it should not be disregarded.
There should be no doubt in any Democratic mind at least, that the Legislature has power, at any session, to amend an apportionment law. In 1875 Gov Hendricks urged the amendment of such a law, on the ground that the then existing law was unequal and unfair. Senator Turpie who was then Speaker of the House together with the entire Democratic delegation voted to amend, and the Democratic part of the committee on the judiciary submitted a long argument to show that the Legislature had the power to change an apportionment law whenever justice might demand it. If it was lawful in 1875 to amend the apportionment laws when the Democrats were in power it is certainly legal in 18'.ir.
The boards that govern our benevolent, penal and reformatory institutions should be made bi-partisan, that is both parties should be represented. The appointing power should be left in the hands of the Governor where it belongs. In other words the declara tious of the Republican party made in their State conventions year after year on this subject should be faithfully carried out.
There are many other things that will require attention at the hands of the Legislature and will be referred to hereafter.
THK Cincinnati COmmenial Uuzctle thus remarks upon the opportunity of the Republicans in Indiana to demon strate to the people that a spirit of fairness is paramount in all the doings of the party:
The Republicans of Indiana will now have the chance of their lives to prove to the people that they are able to govern wisely and well. They will have a chance to wipe out some of the vicious legislation of the Democrats, but they ought not go on the principle that all legislation by their opponents has been vicious. The gerrymander that gave the Democrats, with a beggarly plurality of only five or six thousand, the power to elect eleven of the thirteen Congressmen, ought to be changed without delay, but the Republicans should be wise enough to not fall into the error of trying to right one wrong by committing another. -»i»

THE SCHOOL BOOK LAW. Discussing the school book law of Indiana the Cincinnati Cummcrcial-Qn-zetle makes the following observations: •'If the object] of the Indiana school book law was to furnish cheap books to the children, it was good, provided care had been taken] to secure good text books. Proper care was not taken in that direction, and the result has been the high standard to which the schools had attained was. in a great measure, lost. It may be a good thing to secure cheap books, but when the quality is sacrificed it is the very antipodes of true "economy. Cheap text books too often means poor text books, and poor text books always means faulty education for the child.
ood teachers can not supply the deficiencies of bad text books. What Indiana wants is such a revision of its school book law as will secure the best books at the lowest possible cost to the children, and not a law that requires the State to adopt the cheapest book that may be offered, regardless to its uality. The fact is, every State ought to furnish books free to all pupils. Tuition is furnished free, and why not the books'.' The object of ree education is to improve the standard of citizenship, and that object in not be fullv attained without books, and if houses, maps and other ppliances are furnished free, why not xtend the system so as to include books'.' Indiana has a magnificent school fund, one of the largest in the country, and her schools should be supplied with the best of whatever is necessary to make her educational system complete in every respect. A remodeling of the school book law is one of the things to which the newly elected Republican Legislature will have to address itself, and great wisdom should be displayed in handling the question."
NKLSON Mounts tells the J.trovers' Journal that the exclusion of American cattle and fresh meats by Germany and Denmark will doubtless be followed by Belgium and possibly other nations. When asked if he (.thought they were sincere in the reasons given Mr. Morris said most emphatically that any talk about American cattle or meats being diseased was merely talk, and that one word—sugar—accounted for the whole business. A man with a family of six seven children owning :i() acres of and could put five acres in sugar beets arul get 100(w 130 an acre returns, besides raising stuff enough for the famiand to keep a number of animals nd lots of poultry. Now the land won't yield over £10f«50 per acre and
Jermauy, Belgium and France are lull sugar, their main outlet for which, America.has been practically cutoff. Mr. Morris said that in Germany they aid to him: "'You see we raise no Indian corn or wheat to compete with ou and if you shut us off on sugar we are in a bad way." Mr. Morris thinks all of the countries of Europe are disposed to protect the interests of their landed interests and that they have to have some• excuse for legislation against -American farm products, especially stock. ,.
TIIK Lafayette Courier truthfully says there is but one way of keeping this State in tne Republican line, and that is by the next session of the Legslature making a good record for fairdealing, retrenchment and economy, and refers to the fact that the pay of employes of the Legislature can be reduced one-half. Hitherto the biennial meeting of the Indiana Legislature has been a grand pick-up for the wardbummer and political heeler. The
Democrats introduced the system of giving gr a day to the spittoon cleaners, and then employing about one to each spittoon in the State House. The law fixes the pay of the clerks at S" per day, but that was not enough for men of such exalted talents as were usually employed, so at the end of each session each clerk was voted from $50 to §100 extra for doing' nothing. If the Republicans follow that custom next winter they ought to be defeated at the next election.
IT will require 8500,000 to carry into effect tlin provisions of the income tax, and Congress will be asked to make the appropriation. If the appropriation fails it will practically nullify the law. It is said that Senator Hill is organizing and is preparing to make a bitter fight against this large sum asked for. There are many Democrats who were defeated for re-election attribute their defeat to this feature of the tariff law and it is expected that the Senator from New York will have able assistance in the tight.
IT is said that this bond issuing administration will follow tip its recent issue of §50,000,000 with another $50,000,000 immediately upon the adjournment of the

course this policy must be kept up so long as the expenditures exceed the receipts. As a revenue measure the Wilson-Gorman law seems to be a Hat failure.

Shakespeare says: "lie jests scars that never felt a wound." How often it happens that weak, nervous, suffering women are the subjects of ridicule by friends, who. being -well themselves, cannot understand such feelings in others. Yet there is no more terrible suffering than that resulting from nervousness, and it is the most prevalent of all complaints.
The mostfrightful tortures liiilUU the mind: the person is in constant dread of impending evil: sleep refuses to come, and the merest trifles cause worry and anxiety. Thoughts of insanity develop, and the poor sufferer feels weak, tired and unable to do anything. There are sometimes faintness and sinking at the stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue, and lack of interest in society and daily affairs. Female weakness, with pains in the side, back or abdomen, are often present^ Miss Nettie Richards, of Livermore Falls, Maine, says: "For two years I had hysterics, and was fearfully nervous. 1 would have them every day, and was in a terrible condition. My limbs were cold all the time. I could not sleep nights and
NIOTTIK I'.lCIl
had no appetite. My nerves were ii frightful state, and 1 was very weak. "I could not walk but what it put me out of breath. I -tried medicines and doctors, but they did me no good. One. day a friend wished me to try Dr. (ireene's Nervura blood and nerve reined y. "A fter taking three bottles of this wonderful medicine I was in perfect health. 1 think it a spleiuiid medicine and would advise everybody to try it."
To look well and feel well yon want strong nerves and good blood. They are quickly, surely and permanently made bv Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It is doing wondi rful work among the sick and suffering. It will cure you also. Von need ji st such a remedy.
Tt is the discovery of Dr. Greene, of i5 West 1-lth Street. New York- City, the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. You can consult him free, personally or by letter.
