FRIDAY, DECEMBER IS. 1806.

THIS December may not be making a record, or breaking one, but it is giving us plenty of weather of the most enjoyable sort.

THE statement that the total cost of the new Congressional library will be within the limit fixed by Congress to the extent of S140,000, is calcu.ated to create astonishment. Usually such things cost about quadruple the limit originally fixed.

TIIE old soldiers always find the Republicans in Congress ready to do all that can be done, in justice and equity, to aid them. The pensions appropriation bill—the largest of the annual appropriations—was passed by the House on the second day of the session—an unprecedented event. The bill carries a total of S141.2C3 880.

No I.KSS than four States now poll over a million votes. First in order is New York, with 1,334,339 next Pennsylvania, with 1,194,4G3 Illinois, third, with 1,089,825, and Ohio, fourth, with 1,015,025. Nevada polled 10.278 votes in the last election, but it has just as much voting strength and a great deal more to say in the United States Senate than any one of these four big commonwealths.

THE postoilice service is being gradually brought to a state of perfection in cities of the first class. Not only are half a dozen free deliveries made daily, but in twenty-five cities a sys tern of house collection boxes has been established with great success, and now the Postmaster General has issued an order providing for a house sale of stamps and postal cards, so that a citizen can transact business without a visit to the postoilice for anything.

CoNomcsssiAN BOATNER'S proposition providing for a salary grab for Congressmen and Senators is not meeting with much encouragement even from those intended to be recipients of the swag. Chairman Cannon, of the House Committee on Appropriations, gives timely warning that "if Congress Ehould do that at a time when the Treasury is so depleted, the people would retire to private life every man who would vote for the proposition."

CONGRESSMAN TROLOKR, of Missouri, has introduced a resolution in the House to amend the constitution so as to lengthen the terms of Presidents and Senators to eight years and of Representatives to four years. The President is made ineligible to re election. Mr. Troloer has struck the right trail, but it will be several years before the proposition will be able to run the gauntlet of two Congresses and three-fourths of the State Legislatures.

IN its attempt to be witty at the expense of Governor-elect Mount the Indianapolis Sentinel seems to have forgotten the lesson taught the Republicans during the days of the late Governor Williams. They attempted the eame game by dubbing him "Blue Jeans," a name which clings to him to this day, but which placed him in the Governor's chair. The Sentinel's vulgarity may be the means of higher honors for Governor Mount, a man, which future events will show, who will be equal to any occasion that may arise. The Sentinel only belittles itself in trying to belittle Mr. Mount.

TIJK splendid record the State officials of Indiana are making in the management of tho State's finances is the subject of much complimentary comment in the Hast, the New York Advertiser, for instance, remarking: "Indiana has a new tax law that is enabling her to pay off her debt very rapidly. There is no combine of silver conspirators out there to hold up revenue legislation. It ought to be easier for the United States to pay her debts than for Indiana, and it is a spectacle humiliating to us in the eyes of the world that half a dozen of our law makers persisted in stopping the enactment of laws that the country needs and the government payB them to make."

against Spain, a country with which the United States is now at peace, the penalty is §2,000 fine and three years' imprisonment, while for enlisting to serve against Spain, or hiring any one totenlist. the penalty is almost as heavy, being a maximum of §1,000 fine and three years' imprisonment. The enforcement of these laws falls within the functions of the United St-.tes officials. In view of the fact that the an nouncement has been made time and again by the Cuban committee in this country that the revolution does not need men. The Cubans have all the men they want. They have 35,000 armed men in the field, and 60,000 more men they would like to equip with rilles. What they do need is money, rilles, ammunition, medicine, quinine, but not men. Therefore those who are enlisting may as well curb their war spirit. Senor CJuesada says that if the insurgents had 81,000.000 Cuba would bf» free in s'xtv davs. Wnr is a very serious business, even m:der the most favorable conditions, and our hot bloods should be admonished to think once at least before engaging in it.

TUCKER ON TEMPERANCE.

Tlie Aggressive llvlne Exploits Ills Views III an Open Letter to the People..:

Dr. II. A. Tucker, late of this city, has written the following open letter in regard to temperance laws and temperance legislation: "Some newspaper articles that have appeared are misleading in regard to the opinion of temperance people about additional legislation. There is not a feeling of satisfaction nor of contentment with the present temperance law. While there are some good features about the present law, yet it is so defective that the good features lose their force. It is felt all over the State, that something must be done with the quart shop system. While this nuisance is allowed to run the present law is of but little value. The quart shop is worse than the licensed saloon: this goes without argument. In many cases, when a saloon keeper fails to get a license, he continues in business in the garb of a quart shop. In this condition he feels that he is beyond the pale of law and has no restraint. His den becomes far worse than when he had a license. In this way he hopes to break down opposition to his securing' a license at the next session of the commissioners' court. He is frequently successful. For, of two evils, temperance people are apt to choose the least. "Then there are communities where

Probate Court*

Peter S. Kennedy is appointed adminiblrator of tne estate of Mary Ann Lee.

a majority of the voters can be secured to prevent the granting of license, but they fear to use this privilege because it would result in a number of quart shops. The temperance people are unanimous, at least practically so, in demanding that this evil be legislated out of existence. "Tbeu there is a general disgust, with the part of the law that requires the temperance people to secure, by petition, a 'inujority of the voters against granting a license. The feeling is that if there are to be petitions circulated, the man who wants to secure a saloon license is the oue to circulate the petition. lie is the man who gets all there is in it. "There is a strong demand that the Legislature should so change the law as to give each citizen the right to express, at tho ballot box, at a proDer election, his wish as to whether he desired to have a saloon in his township or ward or'not. Tcnipera2««people r-rt bt*. stitif-fic-d till 'he.y hu"c a fair chance of securing a fair eepresentat'.un of the sentiment of the people. Now, the boycotting, bulldozing tactics of the whisky men keep many men from signing their names to a petition who would gladly vote against grantiug license. This part of the law is only looked on with disgust by many, but it is considered an insult to the intelligence of the moral, temperate and respectable citizens, and they demand that it shall be changed."

A Cheap Skate.

Press dispatches and newspaper clippings attest the patriotism of one Charles Ritter, of Crawfordsville, who is capering around at Atlanta, Ga., as an ardent devotee of the Cuban cause just preparing to leave for the belligerent island to give succor to the struggling patriots. Ritter is a very cheap skate who in his patriotic haste and excitement inadvertently jumped a §20 board bill at the Rosebaum boarding house on south Washington street when he left for the scene of action. If he can save enough from the plunder of the rich Spanish Dons to liquidate this obligation his patriotism will be more appreciated here than it is at present. Ritter came here from Logansport and was engaged in the in surance business.

The funeral of W. M. Osborn occurred Wednesday at Waynetown. Mr. Osborn was 75 years of age and one of the honored pioneers of Wayne township. He leaves a wife and several children.

The Tribe of Ben-IIur is just closing a very successful year in-«spite of the universal depression and the intense political excitement. It had a membership on the first day of January, 1890, of 5,054. Its present membership is 11,537 or an increase this year, to date, of 6,483. The mails yesterday brough 81 applications from various parts of the country. The order is but 33 months old, but has paid to the families of its deceased members §49,250. Every claim was paid promptly and in

there remains in the surplus and reserve fund, over §30,000, every dollar of which is available to pay death claims The order is recognized as the most progressive order in the country. On the first of January the new table of rates will go into effect. Under this table the average cost per §1,000, from 18 to 55 years, will be §11.30, or a fraction higher than the mortuary cost under the American experience table. All persons who join the order, and are examined and accepted for insurance, prior to January 1st, 1897, will receive the benefits named in the present table of rates, given below, after January 1. 1897, the benefits will be governed by the new table which is also given below.

Quite a large number of new applications were received last Monday night, among them were J. C. Barnhill, Low Hornaday, Jake Joel, I. C. Elston, Jr., Wm. M. White, W. H. Webster, Mrs. Dennis, J. iC. Hutchinson and others.

Siinonides Court will meet next Monday night at which time all applicants will be acted upon that may be received this week. Full particulars can be secured from any member of the Order in the city or at the oSice of the Supreme Tribe. Remember that the amount you are entitled to under the present table of rates will always remain at that figure so that anyone intending to avail themselves of the insurance offered by the Tribe of BenHur should do so at once.

Jinimxiy High School.

Last Friday. Dec. 11,1890, the young people of the Romney high school gave their term finale at the high school building, after which they tendered a very pleasant reception. Nearly two hundred invitations had been issued and at 7 o'clock, the appointed hour, the hall, which was festoonc-d with vines and plants, was well filled. Soon the Misses Tndia McMillin, Marie Rauch, Dollia Stafford, Caroline Laweon, Daisy Kuntzwiler, Katherine Mikels, Gertrude Skinner, Bessie Newbon, Mabel Inskeep, Emily I'llughaupt and Messrs. Wilbur Stafford, Will and Harry Inskeep, Paul Stafford and John Madden appeared on the stage, which was artistically decorated with ilowers, plants and the school colors, nile green and rose pink. Miss Caroline Andrew presided at the piano. Euch of the class did themselves rauch credit with their interesting and original orations and presented a very pretty view with their pretty costumes, flashing colors, and boquats of carnations, a present from Ilenry Rauch. After the last strains of music, Prof. A. Arnold, of the Romney schools, made few suitable remarks and pronounced all at liberty for the rest of the evening, which was spent in conversation and music. Light refreshments of cream and cake were served by the ladies and at a late hour the crowd began disperse, expressing themselves as having spent a most pleasant evening.

Court to Adjourn.

The circuit court will continue in session until next Monday when it will adjourn until the,

January term.

A New Artist.

The Artists' League wish to introduce to the people of Crawfordsville a new arti6t, Mr. G. V. Strauss. He has studied for several years at the Art Institute in Chicago under John H. Vanderpool in cast drawing, and drawing from life, under T. W. Freer in oil painting from life, and under Miss Caroline S. Wade in oil still-life, and O. Grover and he has also studied modeling anvl sculpture with Lorado Taft. A number of his pictures have been exhibited in Chicago and some of them belong to peoole of taste and ability to judge of their merits. The Chicago Society of Artists, the Cosmopolitan Club, the Central Art Association, have all exhibited his work, and in the competitive exhibit held by the Young Fortnightly during the last winter his work received honorable mention. Two pictures are now in the ninth annual exhibit of the Art Institute, and two were requested and sent to the sixty-sixth annual exhibit of the Pennsylvanian Academy of Fine

Arts, Philadelphia. Ten pictures of Mr. Strauss will be shown at the first annual art exhibit of the Artists' League, Dec. 22 aud 23, two of them being recent work and taken from the immediate neighborhood. It is needless to say that we are fortunate in having Mr. Strauss here at this time, and though he only came for a few weeks' sketching in and about the Shades, we hope that a class, for serious work from the cast, will be formed during this and next week, sufficiently large to keep him here. After the cast study during the winter, the class will take up nature ske'ehine during the spring and summer. As Mr Strauss is especially interested in the effects of light and atmosphere, the nature work will be of great interest.

"The Prodigal Katlmr."

There was a very bright, clever performance at the Park yesterday of Glen MacDonough'ssparkling coraidy, "The Prodigal Father The company playing it is an excellent one and kept everybody busy laughing from the time the curtain first rose until the end of the performance. In fact, it is one of the best things ever seen at the Park. The piece is intensely funny and is filled with the brigntest possible dialogues and situations. The adventures of dashing Dollie Bond and lively Stanley Dodge occupy the main jrtiun of the story and form a very interesting

plot, uproariously funny

in its complications. Big audiences saw "The Prodigal Father" yesterday aud the remaining performances today aud to morrow are likely to at tract just as large crowds, as the piece made an undoubted hit. The company was kept busy at yesterday's perforin ancos responding to encores. Kach of the fourteen artists has somethirg special to do and it was an enthusiastic a crowd as was ever in the Park.— Indianapolis Journal.
