Indiana, as second-class matter,

FRIDAY, JANUARY 4. 1895.

THE Treasury deficit ior the present month so far is $5,771,501, with no prospect of improvement. t-.'.f,

MONTGOMERY county has three males and five females as inmates of the School for Feeble Minded Children at Ft. Wayne_.

THE Legislature of Indiana will convene, as provided by the constitution, on Thursday, the tenth day of next January. The Senate will have thirty Republicans and twenty Democrats. The House will have eighty-two Republicans and eighteen Democrats.

THE new constitution of New York, which goes into force Jan. 1, prohibits any public officer from accepting a free pass or a free ride on any railroad. Indiana needs just such a clause in her constitution. This would prevent the Legislature from adjourning every Friday.

HYPNOTISM is cutting quite an extensive figure in crime nowadays. The New York Sun expects to find it intro: duced in the field of politics and asks: Were Wilson and company under the suggestion of Mr. Cleveland when they paved the way for certain events in November?

S' THE date of the next national encampment of the G. A. R. has been fixek on September 11, at Louisville.

The dedication of the Chattanooga and Chickamauga national park will take place the following week, and thousands of veterans will go thence from the Louisville meeting.

THE little State of Delaware has no penitentiary, no insane asylums, no schools for the blind, deaf and dumb or feeble-minded. If a man commits murder he is hung. Smaller offenses are punished by whipping or jail sentences. Tramps are not allowed to travel in the State, and avoid it on account ®f the whipping post of which they have a wholesome dread.

THE Sullivan Union favors the abolition of the office of County Superintendent, and the office of Examiner created and substituted for it. It says the way it is now the people of Indiana are paying over $100,000 per year for 4his office and about all they get is the teacher's license. It is simply astounding how some superintendents can rake in the dollars with so little effort.

THE Franklin Republican thinks the ballot law ought to be amended so as to dp away with the "straight ticket" feature of voting. Each voter ought to be required to stamp opposite the name of every man for whom he desires to vote. This would simplify the method and at the same time encourage men to vote their convictions. Of course the main features of the law should not be disturbed.

THE Boston Transcript has kept a record of football accidents made public during the past season, beginning September 18 and ending December 5. From its exhibit it appears that more than 50 accidents, more or less severe, have occurred. Three players have died, one was paralyzed and one became insane. The list is impressive enough to call for radical reforms in football methods, and the recent action of the Indiana college Presidents will meet with the approval of the people generally.

THE Springfield Republican points out that it is not redemption of greenbacks over and over again that depletes the Government's gold reserve, but a shortage of revenue, and that what is needful to set things right in this respect is either more income or less outgo. A slight retrospect will show that this is true. The $100,000,000 gold reserve was accumulated in 1878. The Treasury doors were thrown open on the first of January, 1879, nearly sixteen years ago Why has not the redemption of greenbacks depleted the reserve before? The Treasury doors have been open all the time. Redemption has been going on all the time. The answer is, that within a recent period the Government was always taking in more money of one kind and another than it was paying out. When the balance turned the other way and the Government began to pay out more than it took an, the reserves were drawn upon—the reserves of gold as well as of all other things. It was inevitable that a time must come when borrowing would be necessary unless the balance be speedily redressed. The whole trouble has arisen out of the fact that we have a tariff law that does not produce enough revenue.

A MAX OF IDEAS.

Judge Cardwill, the Republican Rep resentative-elect from Floyd county, is a man of some ideas, as will be seen by what he deems as important legislation. The Indianapolis News wrote to each member of the legislature asking for views as to what ought to be done and what bills, if any, the members proposed to introduce. The answer of Judge Cardwill was complete. He says: "Possibly, as I am a candidate for the Speakership, I should not have any bill for the Legislature. As a matter of fact, however, I have ready for introduction a bill covering the New Zealand land transfer system, commonly called the "Torrens" system. I nave also two constitutional amendments prepared—one to enable the Legislature to adopt machine voting, as now practiced in some of the New York towns, and another providing for a change in the character of the Legislature: 1. Increasing the Senators to sixty and electing them from twenty districts, three from each district, by some mode of minority representation. 2. Giving each county under 25,000 population one Representative in the Lower House and an additional Representative for each additional 25,000 population. This is for the purpose of ending gerrymanders. I have in mind a law for cities under 25,000 population, abolishing wards, electing councilmen at large by minority representation, giving large powers of appointment and removal to the mayor with certain civil service reform restrictions for minor officials and also a veto power. Another law that seems to be needed is one restricting, in some way, the sale of poison by retail druggists. A pure food law of some character would be ^ood legislation. A business-like road law would' be worth more to Indiana than any other act that could be suggested. In fact, I am heartily in favor of any legislation that will lift the affairs of Indiana out of the mire of partisan politics and put them on the high ground demanded by intelligent public opinion."

TIIE JOURNAL recently had an article on what might be appropriately called the "Insurance Trust" and condemned it in most vigorous terms. The North Vernon Sun talis up the same subject and twists the tail of the octopus in the following plain English.

There is one trust in Indiana that has long rode rough-shod over the prostrate forms of business enterprise. It still has the peopJe as firmly in its grasp as a devil fish. This monster may properly be called an insurance trust. Almost every responsible COILpany doing business in the State is a member of the combine. These insurance companies combine and arbitrarily fix the rate of insurance ou all classes of property within the State and you are compelled to submit to this extortion or go without insurance. This combination is made for the express purpose of strangling competition which is most successfully accomplshed under the guise of "Hoard Rates." The "Trust Rates" would be a more truthful term, and equally good English.

The "Insurance Trust" has the people of the country by the throat and they seem to be powerless to extricate themselves from its grasp.

DEMOCRATIC statesmen in their astuteness have played what the boys weuld call "hokey" with the German trade. Under, wise Republican laws Germany was among our best customers. She bought annually an average of $90,000,000 worth of our products, including $300,000 worth of live cattle, $9G7,000 of cotton seed oil, $518,000 of canned beef, $524,000 uf agricultural implements, $5,000,000 of Indian corn, $7,000,000 of bacon, and $43,500,000 of raw cotton. Germany now proposes to cut this down as much as possible, and doubtless she will make American agriculturists and mauufacturers suffer sharply. Nothing was ever more stupidly and thoughtlessly managed than the tariff bill of ^"reform" recently enacted into law.

As every body has undertaken the task of giving advice to the Legislature as to what it should do and should not do a "vocabularious" citizen of Tippecanoe county comes to the front with a few simple suggestions using the Courier as his vehicle, to-wit:

It should look to the minoration of all extravagations and sumptuosities in gubernative operations and, above all, the supervacaneous guerdons of the gubernative functionaries, the eversion of pecunious synomosies, the abrogation of all the dysnomies of the present dynasts, the cessation of mercature on mutuatitious madia, the enactment of isonomies, the depulsion of the temulence and viciosity of the proletarian ranks by salutiferous laws, and the deletion of popular inscience by erection of phrontisteries of all gradations, etc.

THE Philadelphia Press has made a careful compilation of the vote by States in the recent Congressional election. It shows that the aggregate vote was 11,263,377. The Republican vote was 5,588,320, the Democratic 4,148,450, the Populist 1,240,752, and the Prohibitionist 219,843. As compared with 1893, there was an increase of 413,124 in the Republican vote, a decrease of 1,408,402 in the Democratic vote, an increase of 205,724 in the Populist vote, and a decrease of 44,290 in the Prohibitionist vote.

TJIE gold reserve is down to $88,000,000. More bonds will soon be due.

VOTING MACHINES.

A good deal is being said just now about voting by machinery and especially of what is known as the Myers voting machine. The new constitution of New York empowers the Legislature to authorize their use at all elections in that State. The Indianapolis Journal yesterday urges as an objection against its general introduction the great cost of the machine, and mentions $2,000 as the price. The Journal is^in error. The New York Tribune estimates that it will require 700 machines for that city and that the cost will not exceed $140,000. According to the Tribune's figures the cost of the machines is only $200 instead of $2,000, and we have nowhere seen that the cost is over $250. The cost of printing the State ballots in this State at the last election did not fall short of $15,000 and double that sum for printing the county and township ballots, or a total of $45,000. To this is added the expense of election boards, and if allowances were made all over the State as they were at Indianapolis the total cost of the last election will not fall far from $200,000. Estimating that it will require on an average of ten machines to the county, some requiring more, others less, it will take 900 machines which will cost, according to the Tribune's figures, $180,000. Say that the election board is composed of five men as at present, it will require 4,500 men to run the 900 machines. At $2 per day the cost would be $9,000, against $200,000 as under the present law. It will thus be seen that they will pay for themselves the first year in the saving they will effect. Almost every man who has examined the Myers patent is satisfied that for rapid, easy and absolutely secret voting it is as perfect as human ingenuity can devise that it will prevent fraud of every known kind in voting, canvassing and returning the vote, and so expeditiously does it register and count the votes that within an hour after the polls close the result of the election in the entire State can be known. There is no danger of fraud where the Myers machine is used, for the instant the voter has pushed in the knob registering the vote the apparatus is automatically locked, and so remains until the voter leaves the polling booth. The entrance of the next voter unlocks the machine. Different colors indicate the cabinets of the several party organizations, so that unless the illiterate voter is color blind, he would be able to pick out the cabinet of the party whose ticket he wishes to vote, without difficulty.

ST. LOUIS Globc-Democrat: Mr. Cleveland's mind is in a state of great confusion over the meaning of two words, lie is evidently under the impression that to bestow a merited honor upon a man who has served his country is the same thing as to dole charity to a beggar. Perhaps these definitions from the Century Dictionary will help to clear away the mist on this subject from his usually active intellect: "Pensioner. One who is in receipt of a pension or stated allowance, either in consideration of past services or on account of injuries received in service.' "Pauper. A very poor person a person entirely destitute of property or means of support particularly, one who becomes chargeable to the public." By grasping this very broad distinction Mr. Cleveland may overcome the mental peculiarity which induces him to regard the applicant for a pension as a pauper and the recipient of one as a fraud.

THE Administration is kicking up a big muss because Spain has imposed high duties on articles exported from the United States to Cuba. Secretary Gresham imagines that the United States can abrogate a reciprocity treaty with impunity but Spain must keep her part of the contract. The facts are Spain has more right to complain about the action of Congress in reimposing a duty on her sugar for the benefit of a monopoly in this country than we have. The treaty was greatly to our advantage, but it was revoked by our Congress, and not by Spain, and now Cleveland and Gresham propose to retaliate because Spain will not humbly submit.

SPEAKING of the action of the Indiana college Presidents on foot ball, the Lafayette Courier understands that they are not intent on antagonizing legitimate athletics, but are determined to break up the slugging practices which have served to bring foot ball playing into well-merited disrepute. All of which, it thinks, reflects credit upon the wisdom of the college presidents, and their timely offices should receive the hearty indorsement of public, press and students.

ACCORDING to the report of the Commissioner of Labor, there are 5,838 building and loau associations in the country, with 1,227,442 shareholders and $528,852,885 of assets. The number of homes acquired through these institutions is put at 314,755, which is a conclusive argument in favor of their advantage to people who would not otherwise be able to own such property.

BETTER make a list of the good resolutions you propose to enforce on and after New Year's. It will then be easy to check them off as you break them.

WHA1 GIRL HERSELF SATS.

Surprising Story of the Daughter of a Noted froftissor.

How Slio Pxcitcii tlie Curiosity of All ller v'' Friends.

Oiie of the best known and most interesting men in Brooklyn, N. Y., is Prof. J. M. Elwood, residing at 23 Cornelia street. He is a noted scholar and professor. His charming daughter is a young lady of most estimable character and has lots of friends everywhere.

She became fearfully nervous and run down, and was followed by a most severe attack of St. Vitus' dance. She grew worse and physicians could not cujre her. She finally got well, however, by a method that astonishes all her friends. "It affords me the greatest pleasure,'' said the professor, "to state that my daughter, who was a sufferer from nervousness and St. Vitus' dance, and who was treated for same by prominent physicians in Brooklyn without result, was completely cured by using two bottles ef Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy."

MISS EUVOOL).

Such strong evidence as this must convince everybody of the genuine worth of this medicine. When he makes a statement people know they can depend upon it. Just such reliable statements about Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy are constantly appearing, and the people everywhere have the utmost confidence in this wonderful medicine.

They take it, and perfect health results. The popular Miss Elwood thinks it is indeed a wonderful remedy when it will cure what all the skill of other physicians cannot benefit.

Why waste time in trying uncertain and untried remedies, when here is a physician's prescription, a discovery made by the greatest living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 west 14th st., New York City. If you take this medicine you can consider yourself under Dr. Greene's direct professional care, and you can consult him or write to him about your case, freely and without charge. This is a guarantee that this remedy will cure, possessed by no other remedy in the world.
