FRIDAY, JANUARY 1. 1807.

LAST year there was collected in the State of Indiana internal revenue taxes to the amount of 87.593,154 44. Indiana ranks sixth in the list of reve-nue-producing States, largely from spirituous liquors.

INDIANA has taken part in twenty Presidential elections and been on the winning side sixteen times. It voted for Lincoln twice, and for Garfield, Harrison and McKinley, which is a good record for a closc State.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN in the selection of "Ancient Landmarks" as a subject for a lecture could with more propriety have chosen "Modern Landslides." He knows all about the latter, but he knows nothing of the former

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette thinks that William Jennings Bryan is effectually debarred from claiming that the times are not more prosperous than before the election. During the campaign he got from S25 to 8300 for his tailend speeches, and now he gets $1,000 for every lecture.

AI.TIIOUGH the St. Louis ^Qlohc-Dcmo-crat is published in Missouri it is moved to say: "Bryan carried the ex Confederate States, the silver States and the Populist States. He carried but one Other State, Missouri, and as Missouri "was never in the Confederacy, has no silver mines and no Populist record, it will have to be classified as Dam-phool-at-Large."

LIEUTENANT GKNKBAL SCHOFIELD, lately General-in-chief of the Army, and formerly Secretary of War, has 'written several articles, which will soon appear in the Century, giving the inside story of of some famous events in American history. The first is an account of fe Napoleon's withdrawal from Mexico, with bpecial reference to the part taken by the United States government.

THKr say the "educational qualification" works to a charm in Mississippi." It requires the voter to be "able to understand and explain some portion of the Constitution." When a Democrat presents himself be is asked how old a man has to be in order to •vote but when a Republican presents bimself he is required to explain in detail the provisions for electing a President of the UnitedJStates.

IN and around Emporia, Kan., the buying and selling of cattle seems to be the only industry whichleads the the Gazette of that town-to remark: "The great trouble we have here is the idea we have in this section of the country that if fifteen or twenty fellows can sit around Milt Wilhita'ts fStove and lie about what they mailo the last bunch of cattle, we have the world by the tail. Well we haven't.

One load of cattle that came in on the Santa i'le the other day has ridden in and out of Kansas City four times. When such a big load of engine coal is fed into a steer the money is all out of him. Half the steers in Lyon county have been on the train so much that they go running up to the bars and bellow to be loaded every time they hear the whistle blow."

BEN TAYLOR ltlSTIXW. In the death of Ben T. ltistine Crawfordsville loses one of its best known, most popular and most £aged citizens. It may be said of him that his fidelity to hiB convictions was simply the exhibition of that remarkable integrity of character which adorned his life and shed upon it a light of unfading luster. To his friends his society was a genial sunshine. Good sense, with wit and humor,, earnestness of purpose, perennial pleasantry, the manly activities of a fine and resolute nature, were mingled in beautiful proportions on the pages of the history of his long and useful life. The death of the old is like the slow decay of some noble forest tree that has withstood for years the blast of the tempest and cold of the winter. The dews

have fallen like

benedictions upon its head, the flowers of the May-time have blossomed around its base. Autumn after autumn it has beheld the lovely beings of the summer fade and perish in the blast. Its yellow leaves have covered them like a pall until^the snows fell and it stood with its peers desolate and lonely. The seasons come and go, and at last the hoary tree yields to the

inevitable and bows its head in the dust. And so it is of him of whom we write to-day. He who has withstood the cares and vexations of life, who has seen the young and lovely pass before him, who has felt the winter of years closing upon him and looked with wistful eyes iuto tne cold pray future. The past, with its golden ways, its songs and its dreams, lies behind him. Life's smoldering embers have gone out. And the moinenions quest on again arises, "If a man die shall he live again?''

TJIE CIVIL SKltVICE~LAW. DOUBTLESS there are those who believe that with the incoming administration of William McKinley the civ il service will be repealed or renered inoperative, at least long enough to displace a lot of Democrats and replace them with a lot of Republicans Such persons may as n-ell disabuse their minds at onco and forever oi such nonsense. The platform upon which Major McKinley was elected to the Presidency declared that the "civil service law was placed on the statute book by the Republican party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended whenever practicable." Major McKinley himself is on record as a staunch supporter of the civil ser vice law. In his letter of acceptance he enlarged upon this plank in the platform and demanded its continuance upon the statute book. And in tbe House of Representatives, on April 24, 1S90, a motion was made to strike out the appropriation for tbe Civil Service Commission, and Major McKinley, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, took the floor and said:

If the Republican party of this country is pledged to any one thing move than another, it is to the maintenance of the civil service law and its efficient execution not only that, but to its enlargement and further application to the public service.

The law that stands upon our statute books to-day was put there by Repub can votes. It was a Republican measure. Every National platform of the Republican party since its enKCtmeut has declared not only in favor of its continuance in full vigor, but in favor of its enlargement, so as to apply more generally to the public service And this, Mr. Chairman, is not alone the declaration and purpose of the Republican party, but it is in accord with the highest and best sentiment— yes, more, it is snstained by the best Eentiment of the whole country. Re publican and Democratic alike. There is not a man on this floor who does not know that no party in this country, Democratic or Republican, will have the courage to wipe it from the statute book or amend it, save in the direction of its improvement.

The Republican party must take no step backward. The merit system is here and is here to stay, and we may jest as well understand and accept it now, and give our attention to correcting the abuses, if any exist, and improve the law wherever it can be done to the advantage of the public service.

While it may seem a little harsh, especially in some of the departments of the public service, particularly that of the pension bureau, yet the fact remains that it is the law, and as Major McKinley suggests, it was placed there by Republican votes, and is there to stay.

THE Indianapolis Journal, commenting on our system of public charity, says: "An ofiicial who has made a study of the system of public charity in this State has come to the conclusion that it tends rather to increase expenditures for the relief of the poor than to keep them within the limits of actual need. This is because the money expended in aid of the poor is derived from a levy upon the whole country, while it is ex-pijndi-d b_y 1lie-:"-"-.trvstcn» o' vltowiisliipi. in fi.o iovincy. la niiaj iihe counties a lar^e part ol' the taxable property is in two or three townships which embrace the cities. These pay five dollars for general count}' purposes where the others pay one dollar each. Consequently, the trustees of townships which pay the smaller portion of the taxes console themselves that those who pay the largest amount pay the largest part of the money they expend for relief of the poor. Hereco,'ore Ohio Lr.r- thefcvisa lai' have in Indiana for reiief of the poor, but the last Legislature changed the law so that each township must raise the money expended for relief of the poor as they do the money.for schools and roads. The change was made because of the conviction that money was wasted in the townships which paid but a small part of the poor tax The cities generally embrace a larger proportion of the helpless poor in comparison with the whole number than do the rural portions of counties.

GERMANY sent out in the season of LS95-T)G of raw beet sugar 958,128 tons, against 1,040,043 tons in the preceding year. The home consumption was 008,860 tons, against 552,095 tons in 1894-95. The factories employed in making sugar numbered 90,458, and they consumed 11,700,000 tons of beet root. The bad business of the preceding year forced the sugar makers to offer less for the roots, and this in turn caused the farmers to plant lesB. United States Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, sends these statisitics to the State Department to back up his statement that Germany's beet sugar industry has been making huge strides

in a dozen years, in part owing to intelligent Government aid, and also to the energy of the manufacturers, who believe in helping themselves. He says that inextensive farming rather than extensive farming may be made as profitable in Nebraska and Ohio as in Germany, and he. sees no reason to doubt that America can profitably make her own beet sugar and save the millions of marks that are anuually spent in Germany for this article.

BY the recent decision of the Supreme court, upholding the constitutionality of the fee and salary law one question has been definitely hettled, and that is that the future policy in Indiana, so far as the compensation of county officers is concerned, will be be fixed salaries, so that the people and the officer will know exactly what the office is worth. It is safe to say that there never will be a return to the old fee system. The tendency of the times is in the opposite direction. Tbe people at large are not disposed to deal illiberally with their public officers. They want them paid fair salaries. The defects in the law will be cured this winter, and every officer will be. paid according to the original intention of the framers of the act. There may be other inequitable features about the law, but these will be improved from time to time until it is as nearly perfect as it can be made So the inevitable may as well be ac cepted.

SPEAKING of trusts, ex-Attorney General Miller says that if he were a member of the Indiana Legislature he could and would frame a law which would drive them out of the State. Some member of the Legislature should call OQthe ex-Attorney General and enlist his services in drafting that kind of a bill.

EVERYBODY WILL RIDE.

The Bicycle Manufacture™ Kxppct a Very Heavy tfuninenB Next Year.

The barometer of the bicycle trade which shows with unfailing exactness which way the wind blows, is the shipping books of the old established houses, If the record is larger at this period than during the corresponding time a year back, then look out for big business when the regular season opens. In a recent examination of the records of some of the largest manufactures it was noticed that they foreshadow a heavy trade in 1897. This statement of course only applies to the firms dealing in honest wheels at honest prices. The buying public is learning to discriminate between a good and a bad wheel even if the one is as nicely enameled as the other. They want bicycles built by a house of reputation, one that will live up to every letter of its agreement. One report speaking of bright prospects says: "From the appearance of things in this section the cycle boom of 1896 will be surpassed by that of 1897, and even at this early date business is rushing. Travelers are nearly all out and are taking orders and lots of them. The tire men all speak of the large contracts each has secured. The factories are all running full blast and with their increased capacities, new ones are being established, old agencies are brightening up and new ones starting, all goiDg merrily and with a vim that has been hardly expected." This is merely a sample of the news received weekly by the National Cycle Board oi i'rade.

Going Back to Their Wives' Relations.

Sunday two wagon loads of forlorn looking people passed through bftrc enront? to Transport. Thay were, sf ticrri una Oklahoma, who, after a short residence there, concluded they had quite a good thing when they left Indiana and pulling up stakes last month started back. They left Oklahoma on November 25," and have proceeded homeward rapidly and without accident. In a big box on one of the wagons was a husky four months' old catamount, which one of the men had captured while a small kit. Just how this peculiar pet will be received in effete T,transport remains to be seen. Itf3 appeurauce will probably cause a reorganization of the Logan Grays and cause Crawfordsville to lose one of her estimable citizens who formerly was a Gray among Grays.

An Old Settler.

Isaac Montgomery, of Linden, was in the city Sunday to attend the funeral of his old friend, Ben T. Ristine, the two gentlemen having agreed fifteen years ago that the one who survived should attend the funeral of the other. Mr. Montgomery came to this county in the same year Mr. Ristine did, 1823, and like him underwent all the hardships and privations of pioneer life, but

beiDg

after all re­

markably successful. Mr. Montgom ery is now 83 years of age and iB remarkably well preserved and strong. He can walk ten miles without becoming tired and personally superintends his large business.

JUDGE RABB'S LECTDRE.

He Few Very 1'nrtlnent Itemarhs Coiirerntiig the Hnbit of Drinking.

When Judge Rabb sentenced Barney Robards, who killed John Newkirk, he made some very pertinent remarks which drinking men everywhere would do well to read and reflect upon. Said Judge Rabb: "Viewed from its two sides the case presents one of the saddest temperance lectures ever portrayed in the human language. It is evident that when sober this defendant was a good man who treated his family well and by hard toil had provided for his family a comfortable home, but the sad result, this awful -tragedy may be traced directly to the two gallon of beer in the jug at Armstrong's barn. You have been tried by a fair and impartial jury. Their verdict has been given according to the evidence, the belief of the court, and the conclusion of the jury, you have escaped with a remarkably light sentence. The court and evidently the jury believed that you procured the gun for no other purpose than to prevent your arrest and according to your own testimony shot him knowing that it was the marshal of Judson. Your testimony disclosed the fact that j'ou were intoxicated at the time the fatal shot was fired, but intoxication neither legally nor morally is any excuse. The law holds a man responsible for putting himself in a state of intoxication. The fact that this officer of the law had no warrant is no excuse. The testimony discloses that you were ignorant of this fact. As was said in the beginning, this sentence is a remarkably licrht one for so great a crime. There are reasons why it is true evidently the jury believed this defendant a good man when not in drink that the two-gallon jug of beer was the direct cause of this man's present predica ment. Many who are otherwise good men are to-day wasting their livefaway behind prison walls, for this one shortcoming, and however sad it may be—however much I may regret it, it is my duty to pass sentence upon you. Then it is ordered by the court that you, Barney Robards, be confined in the Indiana State's Prison North at hard labor for the period of twentyone years."

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Train Plunges From aBridge to the Bottom of a Creek.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 28.—The fatalities in yesterday's disaster near here will number at least 22. Of the total number of persons, crew and passengers, on the train, b%t seven escaped, and the number of dead can only be conjectured, for no one knows exactly how many people were on the train. The fact that tho train was destroyed by fire almost immediately after the accident and before the wrecking train could reach tho scene also adds to the uncertainty on this point, as many bodies wore burned beyond recognition and some may have been totally destroyed.

The bridge was about 90 feet high, with a 200-foot span in the middle and approaches several hundred feet long. Into the bed of the Cahaba the unfortunate passengers and crew were plunged. That anyone escaped with life is little short of miraculous. Almost immediately the train, which consisted of an engine, a combination baggage and expresscar and two coaches, took fire, increasing the horror of the calamity. That any lives wero saved is probably due to the fact that the crash was heard by the telegraph operator at Hargo, three miles from the scene. He reported this to tho train dispatcher, and half an hour later the news that the train had gone down was carricd to Blocton, six miles away, by a native Who aiso heard the noise.

A relief train, bearing all tho physicians of Blocton and about 50 citizens, was made up hurriedly and sent to the scene of the wreck, closely followed by others from Birmingham and Bessemer.

Not a member of the train's crew of five men livos to tell a story of the accident, if indeed anyone on the train was aware of danger until the train was launched into the air. The seven persons who escaped death were badly injured. They include one family consisting of a man, wife and two children. They were put upon one of the relief trains after receiving medical attention, and were taken to Birmingham, reaching that place at o'clock last night. It is unknown what caused the accident.

On the approaches on the same bridge late yesterday another fatal accident occurred. A bridge carpenter was killed and several persons were injured by a collision between an engine and one of the wrecking trains sent to the resent of the victims of the first accident.

The train returned late last night with 27 bodies. These corpses are now at the several undertaking establishments in this city awaiting identification. All of the bodies, however, are charred beyond recognition. The following have so far been identified:

FRANK WHITE of Birmingham, engineer, aged 40 leaves a wife and live children.

A. P. COXSELL of Helena, conductor, aged 30 leaves a wife and two children. GEORGE CARXEK of Birmingham, llagman leaves wife and child.

JAMES BOLLING of Guthrie, Kv., Southern Express messenger, aged 25. WILL WELL, residence unknown, identified by name on watch.

MRS. HENRY HANBEHUY of Birmingham and two children. GEORGE WILLIAMS of Brookwood, Ala.

L. W. MARTIN Of Brookwood, Ala. Seventeen other bodies have not yet been identified.

Miuers Exchange Shots.

HINTON, W. Va., Dec. 28.—During a drunken quarrel among a crowd of miners Saturday night, John Legg was instantly killed and his brother Richard died a few moments later, both the victims of James Moore's revolver shots. Moore was also shot in the head by Richard Legg, while the latter was dying front his own wound. Legg had been shot through the lungs, but summoned strength enough to pull his revolver and tire the shot that will probably end Moore's fife also.
