FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1895.

REPRESENTATIVE PORTER, of Martin, proposes to introduce a bill which will postpone the election of County Superintendents until next August. As the law now stands they will be elected in June. This will give the Township Trustee-elect an opportunity to vote for this officer.

THE Democrats in Congress seem to be as widely apart on the financial question as they ever were on the tariff, and the indications are that they can come to no agreement on any financial legislation. They are too proud and stubborn to acknowledge that as a revenue producer the Gorman tariff law is a failure. What the country wants is more revenue.

AN important amendment was made to the pension appropriation bill in the United States Senate last week, offered by Senator Hawley. It provides that the minimum rate of pension shall be $G a month instead of the present ridiculously low ratings of $2 and $4. If a man is entitled to a pension at all he is certainly entitled to SO. It would have been better to have made the minimum $8 or $10, or for that matter $12.

THE telephone war is on at Lafayette between the Harrison Company and the Bell, or Central Union Company. Until the Harrison people went there the Central rates were $4 a month for business houses and §3 a month for residences. The Harrison rates were fixed at $30 a year for offices and $18 for residences. The Central now announces a reduction to $1.50 a month for offices and $1 a month for residences. 1 ais is the kind of a war that the people enjoy.

CONTRARY to general expectation the jury in the Winnie Smith murder case rendered a most righteous verdict. The people everywhere had made up their minds that he would be acquitted or at most receive very light punishment. They formed their opinion from the half hearted and inefficient prosecution, and inferred that the jury would partake of the spirit which seemed to control the action of the State's attorney. The jury, however, with a keen appreciation of justice were equal to the occasion and rendered a verdict accordingly. The effect on the community will be altogether wholesome.

THERE is a manifest disposition on the part of the Legislature to push the project to build a ship canal from Lake Michigan to the Wabash river. A few days ago Senator Haggard took the initial steps looking to a survey, and on Friday Representative Stutesman, of Miami,introduced a bill in the House providing for the creation of a State waterway commission. By the terms of the bill, the Governor is to be a member of the commission, and is to appoint the other two members. The commission is to gather statistics and opinions of engineering experts as to the feasibility of the construction of a canal to connect Lake Michigan with the Wabash and Lake Erie with the Ohio. The commission is also authorized to represent the State in any national commission that may be organized, and to confer with similar commissions that may be organized for similar purposes in other States.

IT comes rather late, but it is probably better late than never, for the In dianapolis Sentinel to begin to sing peans to the old soldiers. Up to this time it has endorsed the administration and the war that the pension bureau has made upon the pensioners. The cliastenings of the last election seem to have had some effect, as right upon the heels of Senator Voorhees speech in the Senate the other day, in which he indirectly attacks Mr. Cleveland's pension policy, State Senator Kern comes forward with a mo: commendable bill making provision for caring for indigent soldiers out«ide the pales of the poor houses of the State, and the ISentinel on the same day devotes a half column or more of its editorial space to an eulogy of the services of the old soldiers. We do not care to question the motives of the Sentinel, or of Mr. Voorhees, or of State Senator Kern, but shall accept their utterances as being prompted by a sincere change of heart, and that in the future we shall hear no more of "treasury looters," "coffee coolers, and similar other endearing terms as applied to the men who thirty years ago stood as a wall of fire for the preservation of the Union.

THE SOUTH'S RESPONSE. About three weeks- ago Hon. R. Edmonds, the editor of the Manufactur­

ers' Record of Baltimore, inaugurated a movement in the South for the relief of the destitute people in Nebraska. Mr. Edmonds' idea was thatnas the South was blessed this year with an enormous corn crop and its meat houses are filled to overflowing it would be but an act of Christian charity for its people to share their abundance with the starving and freezing ones of the Northwest. He furthermore believed that it would do much to cement the feeling of ^friendship between that section and the West, and would be as bread cast upon the waters to be gathered after many days by the removal of sectional prejudices and hates which have existed for so many years. The spirit which prompted Mr. Edmonds in this noble movement is certainly commendable. It is an acceptance of the hand of friendship which the North has on more than one occasion extended to the South. When New Orleans and Memphis were stricken with yellow fever the North was not slow to answer the call of relief. When the flood sufferers appealed for assistance the North flew to their -escne. And it was so with the Charleston earthquake victims. It shows that one touch of nature makes the whole world kin. As a result of Mr. Edmonds' movement one solid trainload, aggregating about $15,000 in value, has started from Atlanta, another of even greater value will go from New Orleans in a day or two, while other points will follow, thus insuring aggregate contributions of at least $50,000 from the South. The promptness with which the Southern States have responded to the call will be appreciated. The time may come when it can be reciprocated fourfold.

A AVITONG DIAGNOSIS. S The free traders, both in Congress and out, are endeavoring to make the people believe that the troubles in this country all grow out of our currency system, and are seeking to transfer the discussion from the tariff to finance. They used the same kind of argument to secure the repeal of the Sherman act. The trouble with the Treasury Department is not so much with the currency as with the "revenue system. If the Treasury were supplied with money equal to its expenditures, the troubles would cease. The Government is just exactly like an individual. If his outgo is greater than his income he is on the highway to bankruptcy, and he must either increase his receipts or cut off expenses. He can borrow money, but this only increases his liabilities and adds nothing to his assets. The Government is just now in that condition. It has enacted a tariff' law which does not produce sufficient revenue. It is running behind at the rate of $5,000,000 a month. Already Secretary Carlisle has borrowed $100,000,000 ostensibly to replenish the gold reserve, but in reality to pay current expenses. And it is said that another issue of bonds will be necessary in February. Of course this will be followed by still another. The best thing to be done now is to let the currency alone. It may not be just what it ought to be, but the present Congress is not capable of making it better. The majority have not shown that they are able to run the finances of a peanut stand. If it had the capacity it would provide for a revenue equal at least to the expenditures. This is the first step to financial and industrial health, and this is the only remedy.

A POLICY OF INFAMY. Miss Mary li. Krout in the Chicago

Intcr-Ocean of Sunday has two lengthy articles reviewing the attitude of the Administration toward Hawaii, and shows up the hatred and treachery which have characterized the President and his Secretary of State toward this struggling young Republic, from the day the treaty of annexation was withdrawn from the Senate down to the recent uprising of the natives. She says truthfully that the blood of the killed is upon Administration hands, and if it had a conscience, it would accuse Mr. Cleveland of being an accessory to the death of those who were slain. She closes with these stinging words:

But it [the Administration] had learned nothing from the stupendous rebuffs, the criminal blunders, of two long, shameful years. It persisted in an undeviating course of hostility and double-dealing and cruelty that have sealed its condemnation beyond hope of salvation and for all time. Instead of profiting by timely warning from an authoritative source, as any man would have done less blinded by abnormal egotism and partisanism, Mr. Cleveland revenged himself in a manner characteristic of his petty nature.

The ships withdrawn, in the face of disinterested and competent advice, the rebellion, long imminent, at once began to take definite form. Arms were secretly imported and stored, and in their premature discovery a struggle was precipitated in which lives have been lost, for which Mr. Cleveland, the Secretary of State, the "special commissioners," and their allies are personally and officially responsible.

It has not been enough to destroy the prosperity of their own country to cripple its finances deplete its treasury disturb its commercial relations with the whole world, all in the short space of less than three years. But it must reach its hand across the sea and stab to the heart a people that have sought only to shake off the trammels

of a heathen despotism, offering their lives as a sacrifice for human freedom, a cause that every human being worthy of the name will defend. The bloodshed of Jan. 6 has decreed the eternal downfall of the Democratic party, of which the present administration is the worthy instrument, and whose policy, at home and abroad, it reflects. And the hour of its complete dismemberment and annihilation cannot come too soon.

Miss Krout is an able advocate of the annexation of the Islands to the United States. She says that while the government of Hawaii has and will maintain itself the public mind should be relieved as it only can be, by the protection of a stronger power, which as a part of the United States it would have aright to claim.

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION. The defects of the present law regulating the sale of intoxicating drinks are that the means provided for its enforcement are full of loopholes. These were intended by the framers of the law as ways of escape from prosecution for a violation of an apparently rigorous law. However honest may be the efforts of the officers to enforce the law, it hascbeen practically demonstrated that a conviction is almost impossible. To stop up these loopholes Representative Nicholson, of Howard, and the Chairman of the Committee on Temperance, has introduced a bill in the House which provides that the license shall specifically describe the room in which it is proposed to sell liquor that the business shall be wholly separate from any other that no amusements shall be provided in the saloon that there shall be no music that there shall be no chairs in the saloon that the owner of the saloon shall not permit any person other than himself to enter the saloon on days or hours on which the sale of liquor is prohibited by law that the going in or out of persons shall be prima facie evidence of the guilt of the saloon-keeper that persons who enter the saloon on days and hours on which the sale of liquors is prohibited liable to a fine that the saloon room shall be on the ground floor, and that on prohibited days and hours there shall be no screens, or blinds to obstruct the view from the street provides that the saloon-keeper who violates the law shall be fined from $10 to $100, and sent to jail for ninety days, and upon a second conviction that his license shall be revoked that no person under twentyone years shall be allowed to loaf in any saloon that no person shall hold more than one license. THE JOURNAL would suggest an additional provision and that would be to increase the license fee from $100 to $500. With these amendments to our liquor laws burdens would be shifted from the people to the saloon-keeper.

FOLLOWING in the wake of New ork. Massachusetts and other States, a bill has been introduced in the Senate to regulate the cost of elections and candidates' expenses. The penalties of the bill are very severe against all kinds of bribery. The expenses of candidates for Congressional, county, township and municipal officers are limited as follows: For 5,000 voters or less, $100 for each 100 voters over 5,000 and under 10,000, $2 for each 100 voters over 10,000 and under 20,000, $1 for each 100 voters over 20,000, 50 cents. Every candidate for office, before he shall receive his certificate of election, is to be requered to file with the officer authorized to issue his certificate of election, an itemized statement of his election expenses. Failure to do so is punishable with a fine of $1,000, and a forfeiture of the office. THE JOURNAL is in favor of every measure that has for its object the purification of the ballot, and as this law has worked well in other States we see no reason why it would not be a good law in Indiana.

THE annual meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association will be held in the Club room of the Denison Hotel at Indianapolis, Thursday and Friday, January 24 and 25, 1895.

SIR. CHARI.ES ANNABLR.

There is no better known railroad man thar. Mr. Charles Annable, who resides as 20 Jordan Ave., Brunswick, Me. He has occupied trusted positions for thirty years on the Maine Central R. R. "Yes," said Mr. Annable to the writer, "lacan tell some remarkable stories from my long thirty years' railroad experience, but something has happened recently which is of the greatest importance to the people Before I speak of myself, however, let my wife relate her wonderful experience." "I have been troubled," began Mrs. Annable, "so bad with neuralgia that I could not turn my head in bed 11 seemed as though my head was paralyzed. I was so troubled with heart disease and palpitation that a good many nights I thought I might pas* away during the night. "I suffered severely, and expected every day would be my last. My head seemed sometimes as 'though it would be paralyzed, and the least exertion would upset me and reuder me terribly weak and nervous. 1 took Dr. Greene's Nervura olood and nerve remedy and it completely cured me—made me well and strong again. "It seems as though my cure was almost a miracle, for I am now cured.

My neighbors, well knowing my condition. are astonished at my recovery, and I cannot half highly enough ex­

Rumor has it that Swamp College is going to get him another housekeeper. He has his house cleaned up and carpeted. This looks quite suspicious. Wonder where she can be.

George Scott had a runaway team Wednesday, but there wns no damage done. The cause was a broken bridle bit. The horses had it their own way. George Scott was dumped oat but your correspondent stayed with them.

1 ARLINGTON.

press my gratitude for this wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. shall be glad to answer inquiries at any time." "I also have used Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy," said Mr. Annable, "and have derived great benefit from its use, I know it is the best of all medicines. I have recommended it to many of my friends, and shall continue to clo so upon every chance."

The enthusiasm of Mr. and Mrs. Annable in regard to Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is not to be wondered at. It is indeed a wonderful medicine, wonderful because it cures almost everybody who uses it. 1 makes the sick well everywhere. It gives health and strength to the weak, tired and nervous sufferer. It gives good digestion to the dyspeptic, sweet sleep to the sleepless, and makes life again a joy and pleasure to those whom weak nerves and tired brains have rendered depressed in spirits, melaueholy. discouraged and well nigh hopeless. Use it and it will make you well. Doctors recommend it because it is the discovery aud prescription of the well known physiciau, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14tli street, New York City, who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. The doctor oan be consulted in all cases without charge, personally or by letter.

A. Beautiful anil Brilliant Girl.

Ueauty, robust health, social prominence aud all that makes life bright was rapidly fading from the possession of the charming Miss K., of Beacon street. Her nearest friends could not imagine what caused the tokens of anguish that furrowed o'er the once smooth and roseate countenance. When almost in despair she happened to see one of those "horrid newspaper advertisements" of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, •which said it was a remedy suitable to her case. Without consulting her physician or anybody else she got the medicine of a druggist, took it, and in three months' time she was well of all her troubles. All pains had ceased, she was herself again, and shortly resumed her place as leader of her chosen circle. Her experience is that of thousands. Why may it not be yours?
