ALLISON seems to choice of everybody, on Allison.

IT was only the expected that happened in the Indianapolis election, so therefore nobody was disappointed.
TEN years ago the logs in Wisconsin ran four or five to 1.000 feet of lumber. Now, twelve, fifteen and even twenty logs are required to furnish as much. In five years the decrease in diameter of the pine trees cut for lumber has been 35 per cent.
AN intelligent Washington correspondent tells us that the President is dissatisfied with the record of his second administration. Joe Howard thinks that inasmuch as Mr. Cleveland has a large store of American common sense, this information may be considered in line with truth. If everybody else is dissatisfied, why shouldn't he be?
THE age of steam is closing—if George Westinghouse, jr., of Pittsburg, is correct in his conclusions. He tells the Dispatch of that city it is perfectly feasible to run the heaviest stationary and locomotive engines by gas derived directly from coal, with' out the use of steam, and that he proposes to undertake the development of that plan.
THE Indianapolis Journal summing up the result of the election in that city says:
The plainest feature of the situation is that from a party point of view there was no politics in the result. Party politics cut a very small figure in the campaign and the result has no general political significance. It was not a Democratic victory nor a Republican defeat. It was simply a victory of one set of local and personal influences over another.
INDIANAPOLIS Journal: The traditions of the United States Senate have been considerable shaken up by some of its recent members, but if accounts are true Senator Tilman, of South Carolina will prove to be the mobt unconventional and irrepressible member that has ever broken into the body. He is, moreover, a «very strong man in debate and a dangerous one to measure oratorical swords with. Altogether, Senator Tilman is likely to prove a picturesque personage.
The Indianapolis News, speaking of the result of the election and the candidacy of Mr. Trusler, says:
The Democratic candidate for mayor was entirely satisfactory to his party the Republican candidate was entirely satisfactory to only a small portion of his party. The truth is that he ought never to have been nominated, lie had been too long identified with the machine as a machine politician pure
and simple to be looked upon by the community as a representative Republican. Large numbers of his party lacked confidence iu him, aiid resented the methods by which he got himself nominated. They refused to be reconciled they refused to be whipped into line they either staid away from the polls or refused to vote for the objectionable candidate, or even voted for his opponent.
THE New York Tribune says: President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle seem not fully to appreciate the force of a remark once made by Lincoln about the limit of one's ability to fool all the people all the time. They are treading dangerously near the limit. When the people read about the wonderful surplus of 83,175,000 accumulated in the Federal Treasury during September under the benign influence of the Wilson-Brice-Gorman law, they may have been fooled for a little while, but will they remain fooled when they learn that not only the whole of that September surplus but $650,000 besides has disappeared during the first five days of October? The deficit for the current month is ftl" ready $2,825,000, and it cannot be explained away by the theory that the cool weather has caused such a fallingoflE in the consumption of beer as to make a hole of that size in the internal revenue receipts. The working of the Administration mind certainly is peculiar.

Affirmed.
The Supreme court has affirmed the decision of the Montgomery circuit court in the case of Biddle vs. Peirce. Judge Reinhard holds: (1) Where the property of a decedent descends to his heirs they can partition this property among themselves according to agreement. (2) As long as a judgment, bj' agreement stands it can not be attacked collaterally. (.'!) A court is not bound to find the exact amount due each claimant: it is snl!icient to give the same in sueh a manner that by mere calculation the amounts can be ascertained. t*i An
action instituted subsequent to the death of the parent, which concerns the distributive share of an estate, the questions in controversy may be compromised by agreement to revive advancements, notwithstanding these have been treated as extinguished by the parent. (5) A party plaintiff to a suit compromised, represented by attorney, presumed to have power to bind her, iij an amicable settlement, the judgment agreed upon«will«stand until set aside. But as long as it stands it can not be attacked collaterally.
Ripley Township Veterans.
The Ripley Township Veterans Association held their first annual reunion and picnic on Oct. 3rd, at the home of Jackson McCormick 214 miles south west of Yountsville, and was a success,^the day beiDg all that could be desired.

Moore, Waveland, Jacob Swank, New Richmond, B. R. Russell, Capt. H. H. Talbot, ex-Judge Snyder, James Boots, E. M. Perry, of Crawfordsville, and others from a distance. The association wishes
to ex
tend their heartfelt thanks to the ladies and citizens generally for their assistance in making our first reunion a success. While the ladies were preparing the dinner on the table, the comrades held their business meeting for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, and also to fix the date and place for the next reunion.
