Indiana, as second-class matter,

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1895.

THE gold reserve is down to $66,795,000. Another bond issue will soon be due.

THE Republican legislature cannot afford to endorse the saloon men and the Democratic party on the liquor question.

THE country's net exports of gold in 1894 amounted to a little over $81,000,000. This was the heaviest loss of the metal ever sustained by ths United States in a single year. Thus far in 1895, however, the gold exports have been greater than they were in the same time in 1894.

THE last Legislature raised the "age of consent" in Indiana from twelve to fourteen years. We hope to see the present Legislature raise it to eighteen years. A woman ought

Dot

to be al­

lowed to consent to her own ruin before she is allowed to dispose of her property.

TNE Idaho Legislature has passed a resolution to submit a woman's suffrage amendment to the people at next general election. It is to be hoped that Miss Susan B. Anthony will keep out of the State during the canvass, if it is true as stated that she defeated woman suffrage in Kansas by supporting the Populist ticket.

THERE seems to be a fair prospect for some temperance legislation in the legislature. The Democrats, conscious of a disgraceful record on this subject, are taunting the Republicans with cowardice and dare them to pass any anti-liquor laws. We hope this will act as a bracer to the Republican legislators instead of otherwise.

THE present method of amending the State constitution is so cumbersome that it is almost an impossibility to make any change however desirable it may be. Senator Kern, of Marion, has therefore presented a joint resolution which proposes a more expeditious method. It provides that where a proposed amendment shall pass both branches of the General Assembly that Assembly shall provide for the submission of the measure to the voters of the State at a special election, or at the next general election, and, being ratified by a majority of the electors, shall become a part of the constitution. There should be no opposition to this sensible proposition and it should pass both houses by a unanimous vote.

A Bii-iij is pending in the House to repeal the differential of one-tenth of one per cent, per pound imposed by the Gorman tariff act on sugar imported from bounty-paying countries. Hon. Wm. L. Wilson, of West Virginia, on Saturday delivered a long speech in favor of the bill in which he termed the duty a "discrimination" against Germany, but Mr. Wilson at no time in his speech explained the free trade theory that the tariff duties collected by the Government are a tax added to the cost and paid by the people. If thisjtheory is true why is Germany kicking up such a muss and resorts to a retaliatory measure by prohibiting the admission of Americal cattle and hogs? If American consumers pay the tariff duties will Mr. Wilson or any other free-trader explain why Germany, Prance, Spain or any foreign country protest against their imposition? The average free-trader is nothing if not inconsistent.

INDIANAI'OLIS Neivs: It is to be hoped that the favorable report on Senator McCutclion's measure increasing the penalty for carrying concealed weapons is preliminary to the passage of the bill. His measure provides for a fine of $500 and imprisoment in the county jail for not less than ten days, nor more than six months. It was objected that such a law could not be enforced, which is certainly not a conclusive objection. The habit of weapon-carrying in these times is barbarous in the extreme. In new communities where the most vicious elements congregate, and where there is little or no legal provision for the protection of human life, \i is necessary for every man to be his own policeman. But in a community so old as Indiana, the carrying of arms of any sort is unnecessary and a menace to human life. The history of most murder cases illustrates the need for such legislation as is now proposed.

Firearms are very cheap, indeed. Anybody may own a pistol, and wherever there is a pistol there is danger. This Senate bill, or a more vigorous measure, ought to be passed, and once on the statute books it ought to be enforced.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. The New York Tribune in the course of a long article reviewing the financial situation says:

It has taken just a year to exhaust about 8116,000,000 received for bonds sold, leaving the Treasury no better off than it was when the call was made a year ago. Of course it is worse off, because it was additional interest of $5,000,000 a year to pay on the bonds issued, and has besides a revenue law under which within five months the deficit has been 844,500,000. In the previous seven months under the old tariff the defict had been $17,823,002. But it is obvious that this deficit of $62,300,000 in a year accounts for little over half the loss of Treasury gold. The rest is the direct fruit of profound

stock, but that quantity and $71,000,000

more have been exported. But the Treasury has lost, not the $71,000,000 exported in excess of production, but about $116,000,000. Reduced to simplest terms, the net result of borrowing $116,000,000, under a distrusted Administration and a tariff for deficit,

ury by our own people. To remedy this remedy this situation Democratic Congressmen propose to provide for borrowing more money by a clause in an appropriation bill. There is no sense in continued borrowing without an increase of revenue. The deficit of $44,500,000 in five months, the distrust of foreigners causing exports probably reaching $20,000,000 in January, and the withdrawals of gold by our own people, will exhaust the Treasury as as fast ascgold can be obtained. If this Congress -cannot or will not provide an adequate revenue as the necessary preliminary to successful borrowing for temporally needs, then it would be better to defeat appropriation bills and bring about an extra session of the next Congress. That Congress will at least place before the President very quickly adequate measures for relief, and narrow the responsibility to him if he refuses to approve these measures.

OLD TIME CAMPAIGNING.

People who think the campaign lie is an invention of the present generation should read "The Passing of the Whigs," by Noah Brooks in the February Scrihner. From what he says it is evident that the new are better than the old times in respect of politics as of many other things. Among other things he says:

Nothing in modern times can equal the virulence and the apparent exacerbation oof the presidential campaign of 1828, when Andrew Jackson was formally entered in the presidential race against John Quincy Adams. Personal abuse was rife. Adams, the impeccable, the frigidly just, was accused of a variety of crimes, one of the last of which was that he acted as a procurer for the Czar of Russia. Clay was branded as an unprincipled adventurer, a professional gambler, a libertine, and an accomplice of Aaron Burr. Jackson was stigmatized as a murderer, a duelling manslayer, a cock-fighter and a turf-sportsman.

EFFECTIVE LAW WANTED.

A correspondent of the Organizer, in speaking of the effort for scientific temperance legislation, says:

distrust of the Democratic party, readily in many ways to complicate which leads foreigners to withdraw capital from this country and Americans to withdraw their gold from the Treasury. According to Treasury estimates, about $29,000,000 gold has been added from the mines to the monetary

has been a loss of our new gold and Indiana Legislature has a measure !I^n^nnr°-^eigner#'beSi+ieS^b0Ut pending looking to its ultimate use in $45,000,000 withdrawn from the Treas-

Our first work is with the committees to have them adopt the VanArsdel bill which was carefully drawn up with the assistance of Mrs. Hunt. One sister writes that their Senator said we reformers often made a mistake in asking for legislation that could not be enforced, when we got it, because it was too strong, I suppose he meant, but the facts are that it is the States which did not pass strong scientific temperance laws that have not been able to enforce them. Connecticut, which was one of the first States to pass such a law, had that difficulty, and two years ago passed an amended law, strong enough to be enforced. New York has had such an ineffective law and a committee of representees of all Protestant churches and leading societies in conjunction with the W.C.T.U. is this Winter to ask for an amended law with a penalty clause which will help to enforce it. Indiana does not want after all these years of waiting to enact a law which will be a dead letter until strengthened by a succeeding Legislature.

THE Congressional Apportionment bill introduced by Senator Lafollette in the Senate adds Owen to the Eighth District as it now stands, making eight counties instead of seven. This bill is not the one that will be adopted. The most likely measure is one that will place Sullivan in another district and add Putnam to the Eighth. Under the vote of 1892 this would make a Demo, cratic district by 588 plurality, and under the vote of 1894 it would make it Republican by 3,330. The vote of both years was an abnormal one, that of 1892 being extremely Democratic and that of 1894 cyclonically Republican. Normally it would be a very close district, but slightly in favor of the Republicans were the conditions the same on both sides of the political fence. It would place in the hands of the Democrats always a fighting chance.

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY voiced the feeling of great multitudes of voters when he said: "The people are tired of tins tarifftinkering, bond-issuing, debt-increas-ing, Treasury-depleting, businessparalyzing, wage-reducing, Queen-re-storing Adminisiration."

The Governor would make a good newspaper condenser.

SUPERINTENDENT CHARLTON, of the Plainfield Reform School, is the right man in the right place, and although a Democrat he should not be disturbed in his-position.

THE VOTING MACHINE. THE voting machine is attracting attention all over the country. The State of New York permits all towns, villages, and cities to provide for the use of the Myers machine at all elections. Michigan has also approved the machine, and Illinois will be asked to authorize its use. Of the mechanism of the machine the Chicago Herald says:

The machine would be astonishing in its accuracy, precision and seeming infallibility were not printing machines and cash registers now so numerous as to rob intricate mechanical devices of wonder and novelty. Man's intelligence has been transferring itself

contrivances whose usefulness is manifold and whose order and trustworthiness have been completely demonstrated.

The Myers machine enables the voter a button to record the

touohimr

name of the party to which he adheres and also the names of candidates who may be on the other tickets but for whom he wishes to vote. While it protects the voter it at the same time makes false counting impossible. The

all elections. THE JOURNAL has heretofore shown that it would be a great saving of money in the end. Its use is therefore demanded and this method of voting should receive serious consideration by our law makers.

UNDER the fee and salary bill introduced by Representative Nicholson, of Howard, the Clerk and Auditor of Montgomery county would each receive a salary of $2,725, and the Treasurer, Sheriff and Recorder would re ceive $2,525 each. In addition to the compensation named the Clerk, Auditor, Sheriff and Recorder shall each be allowed 10 per cent on all fees collected, and the Auditor one per cent for the management of the school fund, the Treasurer 5 per cent on delinquent taxes, and the Sheriff an amount equal to all his fees from services of process from counties other than his own, and shall be allowed for all amounts expended for postage, express, telephone and telegraph charges. The per cent paid to the officers for the collection of fees is a good feature of the bill and would operate as an incentive to make the amounts turned into the treasury as large as possible.

THE JOURNAL is in favor of a single tax, not of the Henry George kind, but one that will tax every kind of property, both personal and real, one time. It is therefore in favor of the bill nor pending in the Legislature, which imposes a tax on mortgages and which exempts the property on which the mortgage is laid. Under our present laws there is a vast amount of property which is doubly taxed. This method imposes a heavy burden on the misfortunes of the people and not upon their fortunes. The property, therefore, upon which there is a double valuation for taxable purposes bears more than its share of the burden. At the same time there is a vast amount of property that is sequestered and entirely escapes the clutches of the taxgatherer. These inequalities of our taxation laws make the people chafe, and they look to the Legislature to remedy these manifest wrongs.

REPRESENTATIVE CARDWILL'S bill introducing genuine civil service reform in Indiana should be passed. It will fill a long felt want. Civil servive reform for our benevolent and pehal institutions has been strongly indorsed by General Harrison in a public speech and his remarks on the subject were cheered. It was a part of the State Republican platform in 1886. Wm. D. Foulke introduced a civil service bill in the State Senate in 1885 and every Republican voted for it. John L. Griffiths introduced a bill in the House in 1887 and every Republican voted for it Again in 1891 Senator Magee introduced the bill and it received unanimous Republican support. A failure to vote for Mr. Card will's bill this year will look bad to say the least.

THE American Economist asks: Are cheap things good for anybody? Yes apparently, for the man who wants to buy, but certainly not for the man who wants, to sell, nor yet for the man whose labor is a factor in producing the thing -sold. Since everything produced by labor, no cheapening sys tem can benefit it, and, incidentally labor being a consumer, all of those activities with which it has business relations suffer together under the reign of cheapness.

A BILL has been introduced in the House providing for the appointment of police matrons in all cities having a population .of five thousand. Cities generally are overburdened with offi cers now and this is one of the bills that should be indefinitely postponed unless it is amended so as to apply to cities -.of 25,000 and more. In the smaller cities female prisoners are few and far between.

"After taking one bottle I began to improve, and after using three bottles, my usual health was restored. I can now eat anything set before me.

"My wife is similarly diseased and,is now taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, so far with beneficial results. "Thus knowing by personal experience the great value of this grand medicine, I write this that others, who have similar troubles, may be induced to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and be cured."

People who are sick or ailing in any wa$r make a serious mistake, if they delay a moment longer to use this, without doubt, greatest medical discovery ever made. Even if you have been disappointed because other medicines failed, we promise this remedy will cure.

It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by anyone at any time, free of charge, personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine.

A Household Treasure.

N. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y., says that tie always keeps Dr. King's New Discovery in the house and his family have always found the best results follow its use that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman, druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King's New Discovery is undoubtedty the best cough remedy that he has used it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a remedy so long tried and tested. Trial bottle free at Whitenack & Cotton's drug store. Regular size, 50c and $1.00.

General Washington's Other Name.

A large company of persons was startled recently by the inquiry for General Washington's other name. A wag asked the question but in a manner that betrayed no humorous intent. It was evident that the company had never heard the Father of his Country had ever assumed an alias. The wag was compelled to tell his fellow guests that our first President's other name was "George." Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the name of the world renowned remedy for all blood disorders, liver complaints, and con sumption, (or lung scrofula) in its early stages. It has no other name and no rival, because its the only medicine for these maladies, sold by druggists, that can be implicitly relied upon.

Specimen Catiex.

Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well.

Sold by Whitenack & Cotton, druggists.
