FRIDAY, AUGUST 9. 1895.

THE mystery of the Shanks murder case in Fountain county might be traced to H. H. Holmes if detectives would but scent in that direction.

IT is estimated that the American people have invested §25,000,000 in bicycles this year, and that the demand for wheels in the next twelve months will be about 700,000. Meantime horses are selling in Idaho at SI ." a dozen, with horseless carriages looming up on the horizon.

GOVERNMENT crop estimates are oftener below than above the mark. The 2,350,000,000 bushels yield of corn bared on the Government's figures may go 100,000,000 higher. Four or five weeks hence the crop will be out of danger. Meanwhile its condition grows better and better.

THE Democratic New York Sim says: '•If the Cleveland administration, instead of becoming crazed with the idea of restoring the monarchy of Liliuokalani, had been as neutral toward the Hawaiian Republic as it is undertaking to be toward Cuba, the American flag would very likely by this time be floating over the Sandwich Islands.

GREENFIELD Republican: In many cities over the State we read of saloon keepers meeting to decide whether they should obey the Nicholson law or not, and they always decided to obey the law. That any body of men should determine whether they should obey the law or not is arrant nonsense. People generally do not hold mass meetings to determine whether they should obey the law or not.

Gil. SHANKI.IN, in the Evansville Courier, strikes savagely at the Cleveland Administration thus:

Mr. ,7. l'ierpont Morgan, one of the Rothschild syndidate that is now "protecting" the United States Treasury on a six months' contract, at a cost to the people of §8,000,000, has just returned from a two months' visit to England, and declares that while there is some "noisy agitation" in England favoring bimetallism, it is a minority sentiment, "and,"' he adds, "is likely to remain in the minority."

THIS sentiment is credited to John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. It is worthy of being written in letters of gold, and should be treasured as an admonition of a God fearing man. Where such principle prevails there the very essence of enlightenment and goodness are to be found: '•Condemn no man for not thinking as you think. Let everyone enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking for himself. Let every man use his own judgment, since every man must give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach, in any kind of degree, to the spirit of persecution. If you cannot reason or persuade a man into the truth, never attempt to force a man into it. If love will not compel him to come, then leave him to God. the judge of all.''

ELECTRICITY is relieving city horses of drudgery, and the agricultural journals are looking forward to the time when electric feed wires will reach out to the farms to do the pumping, threshing, churning, chopping, lighting. and eventually the plowing and hoeing. Already an electric plow has been tested in Germany and isfound to perform its work well, though not quite so cheaply, in this first experiment, as a man and horses. The farmer in the course of time will probably have the choice of getting his electric power from central stations, neighboring streams or wind mills.

When this happens it is likely that there will be a return drift of population from the cities to the country.

FOR the last ten years William LL English has been engaged in writing a history of Indiana. A man who has recently visited him says that he has travelled extensively through Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and "Old Northwest" in search of historical documents, and has made an immensely valuable collection. He verifies every statement made in his history, and is as lavish in his expenditure of money as he is of time. He frequently has five or six assistants aiding him, and he has expended fully §50,000 in the purchase of historical documents. Mr English lacks a few weeks of being seventy-three years old. He is said to be the largest individual owner of real estate in the State of.Indiana.

TELL Til TKUTIl."

Speaking of the caucus held by the Republican Trustes last Monday for County Superintendent the ArjusjVCH'S contains the following mass of hogwash:

The ring got in its work in good shape yesterday in the choice of Geo. Brewer for County Superintendent. Uncle Alex Scott came up from Ladoga to help his son-in-law, George Brewer, and as George stood the least in the. way was soon chosen. Politics cut a big figure in the matter, as usual. Col. Scott, got White, of Madison township, for Brewer and in return for this he is to throw Clark township for Fraley for County Clerk. That's the scheme. Editor McCain and J. R. Honnell worked like beavers and now the opposition have their eyes on a newspaper plant to use as an organ of that part of the party that is opposed to ring nominations. They are out for blood and there is a lively time aheaa. The ring has been carrying things with a high hand for some time and the opposition have demanded fair play in vain. The split in the Republican party in this county widens daily.

So far as the reference of the AnjuxNews to the editor of this paper is concerned it is nothing but a premeditated and malicious falsehood. The editor of THE JOURNAL worked neither like a beaver nor any other animal for any one of the many excellent candidates, neither directly nor indirectly. It was a matter entirely in the hands of the six Republican Township Trustees, and as they are gentlemen presumed to know their own minds, outside "beaver work," if any had been attempted, would have had but very little influence. One thing we do know, and that is that the editor of this paper was overwhelmed- with other matters during the entire day. He saw but one of the Trustees, and then but for a moment, during which time the Superintendency question was not mentioned. What advantage is it to the Argus-Neics to resort to such contemptible demagogy and downright, square-toed, bold-facc lying is hard to imagine. Apropos to this, but speaking of a kindred subject, the Tipton Times of a recent date, has the following which should be printed in letters of gold: "The best politics nowadays is for men to tell the truth. Point out the best advantages for the public and the people generally, and when you speak of the acts of public servants do not misrepresent them. The habit of assailing a public man because he belongs to the opposite party, and accusing him of fraud and extravagence when such is not the case, has no effect upon an intelligent person, who will soon find out to the contrary for themselves, and then the accuser has lowered himself in the estimation of honorable people, and his word will not be taken as a fact until every statement is investigated. When a newspaper wants to speak of a public otticer it is an easy matter to learn the whole truth before the article is written, and the editor who does not do this is disposed to purposely distort the truth and misrepresent the public officer."'

The Anjus-Ncwn would greatly profit by giving heed to the wise, admonitions contained in the above excerpt.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, formerly editor of llarjicrs' Weekly, once said: "I shall not repeat to you the splendid story of the Republican party—a story that we never tire of telling, and that our children will never tire of hearing a story which is written upon the hearts of all American citizens because it recounts greater service for liberty, for the country, for mankind, than those of any other prrty in any other nation and at any other period of time. What is the secret of this unparalleled history? It is simply that the Republican party has been always the party of the best instincts, of the highest desire of the American people. This is its special glory. It has represented the American instinct of nationality, American patriotism and Christian devotion to liberty."

LAFAY ETTE Courier: The report current in political circles to the effect that Major Doxey, of Anderson, and Gen. Lew Wallace, of Crawfordsville. have formed a political partnership in order to capture the Indiana governorship and senatorsliip respectively, is not deserving to be considered as being truthful or even as a remote probability. If General Wallace is ambitious to succeed Mr. Voorhees in the United States senate he is well enough aware that his chances would be harmed rather than enhanced if he should effect a combination with any of the gubernational candidates, and it may therefore be set down as a certainty that he will not be found engaged in any entangling alliance either for offensive or defensive purposes.

REVIEWING the events of the past week and the sensations, they produced, and how the newspaper worked them for all they were worth, the Chicago Record's "Comment of the Day" man speaking of the succeeding calm on Sunday and the unpromising outlook for scare heads, says:

It was Sunday afternoon and at Jackson's Hole all was quit. No more the virtuous Holer lurked behind the woodshed with the playful intention of beguiling his leisure hours by mur dering what drunken Indians came within range. No more the seventeen terrible Bannock warriors fled panicstricken over the mountains fearing, with cause, the bullet of the virtuous Holer. No more the innocent tenderfoot, thinking to go fishing in the Hole, v^as scared out of his five wits

by a faint trace of smoke on the western horizon and rushed oft' to the telegraph station, his hair on end, to spread tales of slaughter—tales quite untrue, but technically known to the telegraph editor as "hot stuff." There was, in fact, no more chance of a sensation in Jackson's Hole than in Sleepy Hollow.

Around the Holmes castle in Englewoo'l the outlook was equally unpromising. Every old soup bone, every bit of browned fire-clay, every old shoe, every garbage heap withir. six blocks had been turned over and made the basis of a new crime, sometimes a whole series of crimes. There were no more soup bones. Every person who had disappeared from Englcwood for fifteen years had already been added to the list of Holmes' victims. There was absolutely no crime left to charge him with.

All this was on Sunday afternoon— proverbially a dry time in the newspaper offices. The prospect was gloomy. Hut the shadow was cast by a cloud with a silver lining. At the last moment it was discovered that a heretofore unheard-of young man in San Francisco was just on the point of sailing over to Hawaii, to restore the ex-queen, loot all the banks, seize all the ocean steamers, kill the republicans and have a pleasant time generally. We forget why the young man finally decided not to carry out his attractive programme. Maybe he remembered the teachings of his boyhood. The reason doesn't matter, however. The point is that the day was not lost to the shade of the late Ananias.

THE Democrats in Ohio are going ahead in many counties and selecting two sets of delegates to the State convention. As in Kentucky and Maryland the Democrats of Ohio are divided into silver and anti-silver factions. This is what might be called doublebarreled harmony.

NEW JUKKET.

Dora Hicks has been very sick for some time, but is now convalescent. Typhoid fever is quite prevalent. There are several cases in the neighborhood.

Benton and Jesse Rush went to Terre Haute Monday to attend the races. They will probably remain all this week.

Jas. Bennett, Jr., and John Whittaker, two of our most enterprising young gentlemen, have, without animosity, established a tonsorial room in J. R. Brush's old store room. Hereafter you can get shaved for a nickel or have your hair cut for 15 cents.

As far as is now known several persons from here will take advantage of the extremely low rate to Lake Maxinkuckee next Saturday, Aug. 10. The rate for the round trip is 81.00, a paltry sum to expend for a car ride'of 200 miles and for all the sights to be seen at the lake.

For the last ten days we have been entertained most delightfully by Prof. Clarks' Louisiana colored jubilee singers. Concerts were given twice, one night was devoted to a lecture on "Slave Life," delivered by the preacher attending the company, Mr. Marshall. Several good sermons were also sriven to us. The company went to New Ross from this place.

The late hot dry weather has had its effect on everything that grows in the ground and potatoes will not be a heavy crop this year. \\'e favor the reunion of the correspondents on the l.'ith as well as any time. It would not do for us to attend the biggest show in the world on the same day of the reunion. We would see too much lor one day.

L. S. Kilborn. who taught school in Linden before the war, was around handshaking and [renewing old acquaintances last week. His wife was with him. Their home is in Marshall, 111., where he is principal of the school.

The temptation is now before the young as well as the old to indulge in drinking cider which is against the rules of the I. O. G. T. order Temples as well as Subordinate lodges, but all can resist if they are true to their pledge.

Parents or heads of families should send their children to the young I. O. G. .T. or Juvenile lodge or Temple which meets every Saturday at 3 p. in., where they will learn more than they will in a whole lifetime outside of the order.

The I. O. G. T. Juveniles meet in their lodge room at 3 p. m. on Saturdays and all are invited to attend and spend one hour in Temple work for their own good as well as fpr the good of others. When the room gets too small to hold them the petition will be raisedaand double the size it is at present.

We now have anew township trustee. J. H. White has charge of the township. The retiring trustee no doubt has done his duty and it is hoped that satisfaction will reign supreme in our happy land and that schools and other matters pertaining to township affairs will run smoothly along and run our township out of debt.
