Indiana, as second-class matter,

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1894.

No closure and and no popgun bills that seems to be the programme of the Senate:

THE Republican press of the State with great unanimity demand that the party shall keep its pledgee.

THE Supreme Court of Indiana after January 1, 1885, will be composed of three Democrats and two Republicans.

THE Terre Haute Express says that State Geologist Blatchley as a naturalist has investigated the ant, and as a matter of course lias discovered his uncle.

IN the arrangement of committees by the Republican caucus of State Senators, our Senator was placed on the committees on Swamp Lands and •••1'ublic Printing.

OI-TK'IAI, returns from every county jn Tennessee, collected by the Republican State Executive Committee, give Evans. Republican candidate for Governor, 841 plurality.

OUH esteemed contemporary, the A tyus-News. seems to be running to headlines. Headlines like Sam eller's "Veal pies, especially when made o' kittens air wery cheap and wery tillin."

THE idea of calling a constitutional convention has been'suggested to the caucus of Republican State Senators and was received with favor. It should certainly be done. If the question comes up we hope to see Representative McQrea and Senator Seller vote for it.

THE pop-gun bills are as dead as a mackerel, the Democratic caucus having decided not to push them. As they were rushed through the House last August for the purpose of furnishing campaign material they can only be put to the same use as a last year's bird nest.

ST. Ijouis Globe Democrat: If any one doubts that the gerrymander is a boomerang he should look over the map of Indiana as divided into districts by the Democrats, and then be present at the -opening of the next Congresss to see a solid delegation of Hoosier Republicans filing into the House.

A kkw Democratic newspapers, among them the Argus-News, are condoling themselves in the belief that Governor Matthews will block all Republican legislation this winter by his veto. The Governor's veto in Indiana isn't worth the paper used in writing it. The same vote that passes a bill before it goes to the Governor can pass it over liis veto.

HON. W. I). ROBINSON, of Princeton, has compiled the laws of Indiana on the powers and duties of county and township officers, including a complete treatise on Board of Commissioners. It includes both the statute law and all the decisions of the Supreme Court up to the present time. Judging from its contents it is an indispensable book not only for county and township officers but for everv law office.

WHY not make the County Superintendent of Schools an elective office by the people? Do ten or a dozen men taken from the ranks of the common herd better understand the wants and needs of our schools than the whole common herd taken together? We apprehend that the people as a collective whole as just as capable of choosing competent Superintendents as the dozen.

THE American Tribune says: During the last week in November the Indiana agency received thirty certificates in one mail, nineteen of which were re-issues to pensioners who had been dropped, suspended or ordered for re-examination and in every one of these cases the certificate was restored at a lower rate than the ponsioner had been receiving before his former pension was stopped.

This is the policy that last year "saved" $211,000,000, of which this administration boasts, and by it expects to "save" 810,000,000 this year.

HOKE SMITH has now turned his attention to the pensions of widows and decides that where it is apparent that the widow has an income equal to S8 a month she doesjnot occupy a pensionable status. If the woman happens to be the widow of an officer of high rank Congress can pass a special bill and Grover Cleveland can approve it giving her $100 a month. It makes some difference as to whose widow she is. There is some consolation in the belief that the Hoke Smith policy wil. only continue two years lunger.

DEMOCRATIC NEPOTISM. Pat Donan, formerly of Missouri, later of North Dakota, but now of New York, is a fluent but disgusted Democrat. Of Democratic nepotism he dips his pen in gall and writes:

Eyer since the days of Grant, the Democratic party has howled itself hoarse and raw-tliroated over Republican nepotists and nepotism. And today, every Democratic Cabinet nobody, Senator- and alleged Representative, have all the departments at Washington jammed, till their heads and heels stick out of the windows, with their sons and their nephews, their uncles and their cousins and their aunts—to say nothing of their other female connections. Democratic Vice President Stevenson's son was appointed a paymaster in the navy—saddled for life on the country and the people at

$3,000

a

year, and a pension to his widow—and did not get it simply because he could not pass the necessary physical examination. Democratic Tariff Abortionist Hilly AVilson's son has a similar appointment. and the people of the United States will be taxed for the rest of their lives, and their children after tlicm, to pay this hopeful scion of flimflam reform his generous annuity. Democratic Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle lias two sons drawing handsome salaries from the government, from you, from us. Democratic Secretary of the Navy Herbert has his son-in-law and a variegated assortment of other relatives and dependents billeted upon the dear people, you, us. Democratic Speaker of the House Crisp has his son, Charley, bagging S2,2)() a year of public money, your money, our money, as his teller—when all he could tell in a century would not be worth 22 cents. Democratic Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, a wild-eyed and obstreperous reformer, had his son filching SI,800 a year as a committee clerk during all the years he was at school a thousand miles away. Democratic Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, till his death had his 12-year-old son as an alleged messenger, abstracting $1,440 a year from the public pocket. Senators Ransom, Blackburn, Gordon, Harris, Arkansas Jones, Pasco, Pugh, Mills and Butler—all illustrious and rambunctious Democratic ranters against Republican nepotism and nepotists— have sons or naphews pocketing big annual stipends of government money because they are their sons or nephews. One official family in Washington has nine of its members on the public pay rolls! The whole government has been converted into a vast continental souphouse and free lunch route for the countless hordes of pauper kin of sham Democratic statesmen and air-sawing denouncers of Republican nepotists and nepotism.

ONK of the beauties of the income tax is the army of office holders at good fat salaries which will be necessary to enforce the law. The Treasury Department has furnished the Appropriation Committee the estimates required to carry the income tax provision of the tariff law into effect for the remainder of the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1895. This it 'will be remembered, 'is only for six months. The estimates for the collection for tax until July 1, 1895, aggregate $245,095, and include provision for one statistician, 82,500: an additional head of division, 82.500: six clerks at §1.400: eight clerks at 81,200 oseven clerks at $1,000 one messenger at 8420 salaries and expenses of 303 additional deputy collectors, 8211,800, and salaries and expenses of ten additional revenue agents, $1,800. For the whole year it is presumed that this estimate must be doubled. The principal object of the law seems tocbe to provide soft places for spoilsmen.

THE difficulty at the root of the whole matter in the currency agitation just now is that the income ef the Government does not equal its expenditures. Democratic statesmen have learned that a surplus is more easily managed than a deficit. Tinkering with the currency will not put money in the treasury. Up to the time that Democrats entered upon the business of running the country there was no lack of money in the treasury. Tliey passed a tariff bill that will not produce sufficient revenue, and they can invent no hocus poeus to get it except by placing the duties high enough and on the requisite number of articles. Tinkering with the currency will not put money into the Government coffers.

ST. Loris (rlolie Democrat: Mr. Cleveland's assertion in last year's message that "thousands of neighborhoods had their well known fraudulent pensioners," and in the present message that '"bare-faced and extensive frauds exposed" have been part of the work of the [administration, is an instance of language very carelessly handled. Commissioner Locliren reports 194 convictions for pension frauds during the year. There were thousands of pension spies encouraged and many of them paid to listen to tittle-tattle with the meager result just mentioned.

CONGKKSSMAN Wii.SON' told his party before the sugar bill passed that "it would give the sugar trust $40,000,000 the first year." And yet Congress passed the bill and the President allowed it to become a law.

BENJAMIN A. EATON, who had charge of the Democratic literary bureau of the recent campaign in this State and prepared the boiler plate matter for the co.unty organs, live days before the election sent out a circular which in view of what did happen makes mighty interesting reading now for Republicans. Among other things it says:

The evidence of a rising Democratic tide all over the country, noted in those dispatches several days ago, continue to multiply. The Democratic leaders in New York are now confidently claiming that State by a majority of from thirty-five to fifty thousand. Illinois is absolutely certain to go Democratic, the immense registration in the Democratic wards of Chicago insuring that result beyond a shadow of a doubt. Wisconsin has been given up by the Republicans, and in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska the Democrats are making a splendid fight with good prospects, especially in Nebraska. In the far northwest the Democratic outlook is bright, while California is look upon as surely Democratic. With this condition of affairs in the nation Indiana would cut a sorry figure if the Republicans should by hook or crook secure a victory. The commanding influence which Indiana has so long held in the affairs of the nation would be completely dissipated and she would cut no more figure than Delaware or Nevada. But such a condition is not likely to arise.

THE Delphi Journal offers the following prescription for duplicating the recent Republican victory in Indiana two years hence: "If the Journal were asked for a prescription that would result in duplicating the recent Republican victory in Indiana two years hence it would be this: Let the coming Legislature assemble on the day fixed and let every Republican member take off his coat and g-o to work. l'ass a fair fee and salary law, a law placing the penal and benevolent institutions under non-partisan boards, a law that would abolish convict contract labor, laws apportioning the State fairly for congressional and legislative purposes, a free school book law and a law making it necessary for a county superintendent to hold a license from the State Board of Education. Then make liberal appropriations for all State institutions. Do this in forty-five or fifty days and adjourn sine die. and it would be a body blow from which Tom Taggart and his henchmen could not possibly recover in the next two years."

THE Terre Haute Tribune has interviewed several bankers and prominent politicians of that city on the Balti-more-Cleveland-Carlisle-Eckles plan for changing the currency. Among those interviewed was Congressman-elect Geo. W. Paris, who said:

It is a new question to me and I cannot pretend to have a fixed opinion on it. We have not had a political campaign in recent years where the currency question has been the great factor, except as to the coinage of silver. However, it seems to me that the prominence given to the currency system of the country now by the President's message and the' report of Secretary Carlisle will succeed more in diverting attention from the political questions on which the people lately passed judgment, than in. commending itself to the country at large. The scheme proposed is embryonic and has been abruptly cast before the people of the country. Congress will certainly not overhaul the currency system of this government without great care and deliberation. The best judgment cannot be formed of the feasibility of the President's plan until the financiers, leading business men and press of the country have discussed its probable effects on the general commercial affairs of the United States."

C. M. TKAVIS heard of a wager made, just prior to the election, between a certain Democrat and a certain ltepub lican to the effect that there had been no pensions entirely cut off or stopped by the Hoke Smith-Lochren management. that had not been restored, or in some way put back on the roll. He desires to say if that Democrat has not given up like a man he asks him to call and receive conclusive evidence that he has lost the wager, and further. he asks him to examine conclusive proof of the infamy of the present management of the Tension Bureau in all its rulings and its decisions, as against the Union soldier and his widow and orphan.
