FRIDAY, JULY lit. 1895.

OVER 30,000 Christian Endeavorers are in attendance at their annual convention in Boston.

INDIANAPOLIS claims a population of 175,000. The people of Indiana should be proud of the Capital city.

THE St. Louis Olohe Democrat feels it a duty to caution Mr. Cleveland against the free coinage of girls, as a thing most likely to destroy the parity of the sexes.

THE improvement in the condition of spring wheat brought by the recent rains may bring the aggregate crop up to 475,000,000 bushels. The yield will certainly be from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000 greater than anybody a month ago expected.

LAFAYETTE Courier: One of the most oppressing thoughts that must come to Eugene Debs during his period of enforced retirement from the gaieties of life is that by the time his jail sentence expires the cucumber season will be practically over.

INDIANAPOLIS Journal: It is rather rough sledding for the free trade editor who wants to rejoice over the increase of prices but is hampered by the fact that he promised an era of low prices as one of the beneficent results of tariff reduction.

THE State Tax Commissioners are just now wrestling with the building and loan associations. Many of them have protested against paj'ing taxes on paid-up and prepaid stock. The indications are the associations will come out second best in the contest.

IN order to get the silver dollars in circulation the treasury officials are considering the policy of paying oft' the government employes in the white metal. Why not? Instead of sending a draft every month to Senator Stewart to pay his salary, why not send him a bag of silver dollars?

PENNSYLVANIA has a law making it unlawful t9 employ any but American citizens on public work. The law imposing this condition was passed at the instance of the labor organizations, and its expected effect is an increase of wages on account of the diminished number of men who can be hired.

REV. DR. HENRY VANDYKE is an enthusiastic fisherman, and in an article he has written for the August Century he tells the readers that he was "born so." His article on "Old-Fashioned Fishing" is full of personal reminiscences, but it echoes the experience of all who follow the streams during vacation days.

ALTHOUGH he is eighty-five "years old, Senator Morrill, of Vermont, is said to have announced that he will accept another re-election »at the end of his present term. His fifth term in the Senate will expire in March, 1807. Up to date he has served twenty-eight years in the Senate and twelve years in the House.

THE Frankfort News says that the Nicholson law does not seem to be very hard to keep track of in that city, and the saloon-keepers say that while business in their line is remarkably dull they do not attribute the falling off to the effects of the law. Either the people are inclined not to be thirsty or have no money to spend.

THE California Supreme Court in a recent decision handed down by Chief Justice Beatty declares: "Poker playing for money, however objectionable in fact, is, in the eyes of the law, as innocent as chess or any game played for recreation, and its votaries and the places where it is played are not criminal." That Judge must be a poker player.

CRAWFORIJSVILLE sincerely mourns the demise of Dr. R. J. Cunningham. Dr. Cunningham was considerably more to this cor munitv than the pastor of a church or the leader of a religious sect. His n,' nd, his work, his character were all for good and for the general good. His untimely death is one of those mysterious dispensations of Providence which, to our unknowing minds, is irreconcilable with what seems best and right. His life was not a long life but it was beautiful and very useful. "He was a man, take him for all in all

Vu shall not look upon bis like again.''

TREASUUY DEFICIT JUGGLING. The treasury deficit for the iir.st eleven days of the present fiscal year is gl2.338.H04.5S. This shows that tlie administration officers resorted to EU extreme expedient in the juggling with figures in an attempt to deceive th-i public at the end'Of the fiscal year. For instance for June 2D the entire expenditures of the government, according to the treasury figures, were SlO'.i.25S, and that was wholly for pensions. All other branches of the government were apparently run on wind. The statement which conveys to the public the impression that the expenses of the government for that dayavere only •5109,25S was neither candid nor honi^c. The sum was paid for pensions oniy. If no other money was paid on that day it was due to the fact that the administration of the treasury refused the payment of current obligations for the purpose of making it appear that the deficit was less than it is: that, in fact, possibly on one day there was a surplus. The treasury has not beeu able to withhold the facts since the beginning of the new fiscal year, July 1. The returns which it is now necessary to make show that the deficit for the first eleven days of the months is about §1,500,000. It is a fact that if the condition of the treasury had been frankly stated in the last days of June, and the government business conducted in a normal and legitimate way during that period, instead of being 842,000,000 the actual deficit for the fiscal year would have been near 360,000,000.

THE money question, says the Leavenworth Times, is being agitated to divert the public mind from the real issue—the tariff. The Times hits the nail square on the head. The Democrats want to keep the people from thinking about the tariff for a few years, and they hope that in the meantime the country, with its wonderful resources, will have regained its lost business sufficiently to throw the people off the track. The Democrats hope, by agitating,the public will forget its troubles brought on by their miserable incompetent tariff tinkering. It is plain as day we must have a protective tariff in order to prosper. What care we what kind of money we have if we have no business to transact with any kind of money? We do not want Wall street buying or selling our money, and in that way injuring our business, but the first of all questions with America must be that we enact laws which will improve our business. And those laws are mainly protective measures.

THE New York Commercial Advertiser commenting on the Iowa Republican convention and the platform adopted, says: "On the great issue of protection, Iowa Republicanism speaks with ringing tones. Its position was tersely outlined in the address of Chairman Lane. The Democratic pretense that the tariff question is 'settled' is an impudent falsehood. The tariff question is not settled, and will not be settled until every branch of domestic industry is adequately protected and the customs duties raised high enough to afford the Government all the revenue which it needs. That miserable, defi-cit-breeding, debt-increasing compromise, the Wilson-Gorman act, is not a settlement. It is simply a postponement of the ultimate decision of the matter."

IN reply to the suggestions made by some Indiana newspapers uhat Professor Bynum is paid by the English syndicate which made sixteen millions in the bond deal, the Cincinnati Commer-cial-Guzctte says that they are away off, on that lay. The C.-G. says the syndicate would prefer to pay some one for keeping up the silver agitation. They see in the near future another bond issue. If the silver clamor is kept up they can again extort their large profits. If this dies, their profits die. The guess of the C.-G. is that Bynum is paying his own salary. In the hopes that he may so please one G. Cleveland as to get a fat office when his educational work is completed. Nobody else would be foolish enough to pay liim for making speeches.

THE Philadelphia Record has a sensible article on the neglect of the Spanish language in American schools and colleges. Though Spanish is certain to be of increasing importance in the commercial world, it is practically ignored in favor of the dead languages, French and German Our trade with Spanish America is growing, and the possibilities of its grown) are immense. The best language for an American to study after his own is Spanish, unless the present indications of commercial development are at fault.

TIIE .Indiana Medical Journal, commenting on the epidemic of typhoid fever at Evansville, says: "It is amazing that an intelligent community in this age of preventive medicine should so forget the first principles of municipal hygiene as to deliberately infect their already not too good water supply. It is inconceivable that a city owning its own water works should construct its sewer system as to make it empty into the river only a short distance about the intake of the water works."

THE London Iron and Coal 'Trades Review takes a gloomy view of the prospects of the tin-plate industry in Wales, all because the United States hns concluded to set up a shop for herself. It says: "There can no longer be any doubt, that the American works are constituted on a manufacturing basis which is likely to secure for them in the near future a large control over their own markets. The growth of the tin-plate industry in the United States for some years has been highly progressive, and American tiu-plate manufacturers look forward in the near future to being- able to Jmeet to tie fullest possible extent their own special wants. This is bad news for SJUMI Wales, but it was only what was to be expected after the tariff legislation of 1SU0. It cannot be said that the tin-plate manufacturers of this country have not had due warning of what was threatened. It is now five years since the McKinley bill fixed the import duty on„tin-plates imported into the United States at a figure that meant virtual exclusion from American markets if it were maintained. The Wilson bill made a radical reduction of the McKinley duty, but the customs tariff on imported tin-plates is still so high that there is little or no likelihood of the manufacturers of South Wales being able to hold their own in American markets for any length of time. Sooner or later they must be dispossessed, at least to a very large extent, and under these circumstances it becomes an interesting and a pressing problem to consider how far the tin-plate industry of South Wales can make up for the American trade that is leaving them by opening up new markets elsewhere

NEVER in the history of manufactures in any country has there been such a development of an industry as in the manufacture of tinplate in the United States. Fortunately for the industry and its development in this country, so much advancement 'had been made in the establishment of plants when the Wilson bill was passed that it was impossible to stop, and the development has gone on as has been shown in the American Manufacturer, and the increase promises to be still greater. We would not be surprised if at the time, October 1, 1S97, which was mentioned in the McKinley bill as the date within which at least one-third tinplate should be made as was imported, our production of tinplate would equal the amount of our imports.

THE sheriff of Jackson county has learned by this time that the United States is bigger th*)n Indiana. He levied upon and removed 11(5 sacks of which a deputy United States marshal had previously levied. Thereupon he was arraigned before Judge Baker and placed under bonds for a final hearing in September. He was ordered to return to return the wheat to the care of government custodian. It is not safe to fool with your Uncle Samuel.

THE collection at the Christian church Sunday, amounting to 800, for the benefit of the family of the late Governor Chase, is certainly creditable to Crawfordsville. While Governor Chase had never served as pastor of the church in this city yet he had a warm place in the hearts of those who had the honor of his acquaintance.

The Wabash County Board of Review has fixed the valuation of the property of the Logansport and Wabash Valley Gas Company, the Dieterich syndicate, in that county, at 3150,000. The officers demur, asserting that the valuation is double a fair assessment, and have given notice of appeal to the State Board of Review.

THE Kokomo authorities, since the Nicholson saloon law has been put into thorough and successful effect, have begun war on the numerous quart-shops that have sprung up in the suburbs. Four of the five have been arrested and heavily fined. All the quart-shop men are preparing to quit.

THE suggestion that Mayor Bandle makes in regard to the old fire citserns is worthy of consideration. They have already been abandoned. The pesti lential disease breediug holes should be cleaned out and filled up the first day that it snows.

IT is estimated that around 835,000,000 in gold will be spent by American citizens in doing Europe this summer. And yet people complain of hard times One-half of that 835,000,000 will be spent by people who have not seen the United States.

WITH a population of about thirty millions, England gets along with thir-ty-two judges of the first class, while Indiana, with a population of about four millions, lias 17S judges altogether.

THE crop of Republican candidates for Governor is as promising as the corn crop. The latest to come to the front is Maj. Charles T. Doxey, of An derson. His friends have launched his boom.

AN epidemic of typhoid fever may hasten the City Council to take steps toward a system of sewerage and otherwise place the city in a good sanitary condition.

THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat speaking of the attempt of the Democratic press to make capital for their party out of the present and prospective improvement in business and wages, says: "It is easy to see that there is no justification for such a claim. The fact is well known that when the present administration came in. the country was prosperous, and workingmen had full employment at good wages. That situation began to change for the worse within a short time. A period of depression and uncertainty ensued and the employers had to reduce wages and curtail their operations. The conditions were not different from those which had existed under the preceeding Republican administration except in a political respect. Democratic rule was the obvious cause of the trouble, and no other explanation is necessary. There was a turn in the case when the Republicans carried the election last fall. That was the beginning of the improvement which is now restoring the wages that were cut down during the time thliat the Democrats had entire control of the government. It is not to be supposed that this gratifying change would have taken place if the political situation had remained the same as it was a year ago

COLONEL WATTERSON, in the Louisville Courier Journal, says the record of the Democratic party from 18G1 to 1S95 is "a history of one blunder following another in almost unbroken succession," and what it needs is a new set of leaders with the courage of their convictions, "not noisy zealots drunk upon the verbosity of their own rhetoric." The Colonel is picturesquely truthful.

ABOUT eighty saloon keepers of Indianapolis assembled the other afternoon and adopted a resolution declaring their intention to obey the Nicholson law, to prosecute violations of it, and to treat barber shops and cigar stores where slot machines are run on Sundays, as saloons. The saloon men can do much themselves to see that the law is enforced.

First Under the Nicholson L«w. Tom Herron, the accomplished gin slinger of Waynetown, will be the first victim of the Nicholson law in Montgomery county. Monday five cases were brought against him in 'Squire Stilwell's court. Three of his cases are for keeping his screens up during hours in which the sale of liquors is illegal and the other two are for selling to an habitual drunkard after receiving notice not to do so. Llerron is in high disrepute at Waynetown, because in a suit there last Saturday he swore that the Waynetown Good Templars were his best customers. 'The Good Templars now propose to make him sweat blood.

Keel Men's Pow Wow.

Danville, 111., Commercial: D. H. Martin, of Crawfordsville, Ind., was in the city yesterday afternoon, distributing advertising matter for the grand Red Men's pow wow picnic, at that town August 1st. Gen. Lew Wallace will preside, and Mayor Bandel will make an address of welcome, followed by such eminent speech makers as Judge Suit, of Frankfort, Ind. There will be a grand parade, horse races, bicycle races and other sports galore, such as the true Indian loves at home among the squaws and pappooses. The rail roads will all give reduced rates.

Will Move to Illinois.

John L. Goben has traded all his property in this county and 700 acres of land in Kansas for 3,000 acres of land near St. Ann, 111. Said Mr. Goben to-day: "I shall remove my family there so soon as my official term as Auditor expires here, in November. I have begun the erection of my building and will become a resident of Illinois just as quickly as I can."

Don't Scatter.

We ofter hear good old ladies advise their friends when they are afflicted with boils and other swellings of a similar character that indicate a bad condition of the blood, to "take somethin' to scatter 'em." This is the worst advice that could be given, for, if "something scattering" is taken, the poison in the blood, which the system is trying to throw off through the boil or whatever the swelling may be, is driven back into the system, and so effectually "scattered" through it and by and by it is likely to manifest itself in terrible ways. YVhat should always be done when boils, pimples, and other eruptions of a like nature appear, is to give something that will act on and with the blood, and help it to relieve itself of the impurities in it something in short, to assist the system in its effort to throw off impure matter which does not belong there. If swellings and eruptions increase after beginning to take such a medicine, be sure that it is doing exactly what it ought to. It is driving out the poison. "When the blood is purified these outward indications of inward impurity will cease. The medicine that does this work most effectively is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

A Word to the Wise Is SulIVi-int. I suffered terribly from roaring in my head during an attack of catarrh, and because very deaf, used Ely's Cream Balm and in three weeks could hear as well as ever.—A. E. Newman. Graling. Mich.

One of ray children had a very bad discharge faom the nose. Physiciaus prescribed without relief. After using Ely's Cream Balm a short time the disease was cured.—O. A. Cary, Corning, N. Y.

Price of Cream Balm is fifty cents.

Bicycle Thief Captured.

Charles Thompson is a tall young negro who arrived in Crawfordsville several days since with a traveling doctor. Charles had a bicycle and a guitar and was anxious to sell them. He did sell the guitar but was unable to dispose of the bicycle although offering it at a low figue. Last Thursday he went to the Junction and checked his wheel to Indianapolis. He then returned down town and rented Bernard Cooper's wheel for a two hours' spin." When four hours had passed Mr. Cooper oped his eyes to a sense of the situation and fairly clawed up the everlasting hills in his search for the missing man and wheel. The police learned that the negro had checked a wheel at the Junction and had left for Indianapolis on another. Cooper and Ross Williams therefore went to Indianapolis Thursday and Friday had the negro arrested when he claimed the other wheel at the cheek room. He acknowledged to having stolen both but refused to state where he had stolen the one he had tried to sell here. He was lodged in jail and Marshal Grimes went over after him Friday afternoon.

The Liquor Problem.

Union Sijnal: The recently expired Congress, more generally condemned than any of its predecessors, nevertheless enacted the most important temperance measure of them all—the provision that the United Department of Labor should investigate the economic aspects of the liquor problem, which is better than tKe liquor investigating commission which friends of temperance have asked for in vain for a quarter of a century, in that the Bureau will be more expert and more impartial that a commission appointed for the purpose could have been expected to be, as is suggested by the anti-prohibition commission in Canada appointed by the government on request of temperance men, but so arranged as to defeat their desire. The next best thing in temperance work is the recent enactment in New Jersey, South Carolina and Indiana of temperance education laws, with improvements of imperfect laws on the same subject passed in one house and likely to pass the other in New York.

The Chase Memorial Service. The Christian church was crowded last Sunday for the service, memorial of the life of the late Ira J. Chase. The audience room was handsomely decorated with flowers and Hags and presented a most attractive appearance. The music was especially beautiful and appropriate and contributed essentially to the high character of the service. The memorial address was delivered by Rev. S. II. Creigliton and was a most masterful effort. He reviewed the life and analyzed the character of Governor Chase in a mauner which was at once eloquent and touching. At the conclusion of the service a collection of SCO was taken for the relief of the Governor's widow.

leatli of Mrs. Ann McCarty. Last Thursday afternoon Mrs. Ann McCarty, aged 86 years, died of paralysis, at her home on north Walnut street. The funeral occurred Saturday morning at 10:30 from St. Bernard's Catholic church, of which Mrs. McCarty has long been a communicant. Mrs. McCarty was a native of county Cork, Ireland, but came to America when quite young and had resided in Crawfordsville for the last forty-five years. She leaves numerous children, grandchildren and great grandchildren besides many friends to mourn ner loss for she was an excellent old lady whose life was one of usefulness and honor.

The Monon'e Earnings.

The gross earnings of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad for the year ending June 30 were 83,033,310, a decrease of §92,060 as compared with the preceding year. The comparison is made, however, with 8437,000 world's fair business. Officers of the company express encouragement that the generalbusiness of the company during the past year has increased sufficiently to almost counter-balance the extra ordinary item of world's fair business. The saving in operating expenses will, it is said, equal the deficiency in gross earnings, so that the net surplus will probably equal that of the preceding year.

A Tribute.

Speaking of Gus Truitt, the Ladoga Leader says: "All who knew him respected him and loved him for his integrity. his genial disposition and his honest worth. None stood higher than he in the community in which he lived. Rich and poor were his friends because he was worthy. He attended the Ladoga Normal some years ago and was a favorite among the teachers, btudents and citizens. In his early career as a business man he clerked here for Jim Knox in the hardware store.

Death of Mrs. Lucy jfreeinan. Lucy, the widow of Samuel Freeman, died Sunday night at 8 o'clock, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Geo. Linn, near Mace, at the age of 64 years. She had lived in this county since she was 7 years old. The funeral occurred Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock from the Methodist church at Mace, conduced by Rev.
