FRIDAY, JANUARY IS, 1897.

ROTH the retiring Governor and the new Governor favor a compulsory educational law. It remains for the lawmakers to place it upon the statute

THE fee system has been abolished with respect to county ollicials and it might well be done in the case of Justice of the Peace also. Representative Ryan's bill should pass in some form.

OXE would think that the experiences of the Chicago Intcr-Ocmn in endorsing "Coin's Financial School" would be sullicient without going to the extept it does in defending a boodle Alderman for United States Senator.

TUB present stock of wheat in the farmers' bins is low, but the prospect for good prices after the coming harvest is good. This news will be received with satisfaction by the American farmer. They are more interested ifa wheat than they are in silver.

THE Mclvinley plan of taxing the country into prosperity is to have a final trial after March 4.—Lafayette Journal.

The Cleveland plan of taxing the country out of prosperity has been tried for four years, and the people have indicated their desire to go back to the McKinley plan.

THE electoral vote aB cast yesterday every State in the Union foots up as follows: McKinley and Mobart, 272 liryan and Sewall, 155 Bryan and Watson, 20. The latter received three in Arkansas, four in Louibiana, four in Missouri, one in Montana, five in North Carolina, one in Utah and two in Washington.

THE hearing before the Ways and Means Committee of wool growers and manufacturers brings into view the apalling juries inflicted on these industries by the free wool schedule of the.present tariff. Protection for domestic wool raised the price of our product and lowered the price of foreign wools in foreign markets. Free wool lowered the price of the home product and increased the price of foreign products.

THK L.afayette ./07mi«I, Democratic, in speaking of Governor Mount's inaugural address, says it "is dignified in tone and will strengthen the public opinion that the executive branch of the State government is not in sympathy with the clamor for radical changes in the existing order of things." The'Governor is not in favor of radical changes in the existing order of things when they are right, but when they are wrong he will be found in favor of a radical change.

SEXATOII S^uiHE has gone from Washington City to Washington State to persuade the Populists of the said State to return him to the Senate. Whether he will succeed or not is an open question, according to the Tacoma Ledger. It talks of his return with more candor than kindness. "lie had no sooner touched the border of the State," says that critic, "than he declared his undying devotion to the Populist party and the cause of free silver. The new love i6 always ardent, and in Senator Squire's case it is fairly ablaze, lie already talks of the blighting influence of corporations and of the money power as if be had never had a dollar, lie has defied the money power, he says, and through that defiance 'lias suffered most grievously in his personal fortunes.' He brings assurance that the advocates of silver in both houses ardently wish his return to the Senate, and will regard his defeat as little less than a calami, ty. Unfortunately for him, these advocates have no votes at Olympia.' The battle at the State capital promises to be an exciting one. 'So computation of the forces to be arrayed on both sides can be accurately made as yet. The number of the members of the Legislature is known, but the number of candidates seems likely not only to exceed, but to overwhelm them. No one seems to be able to determine where Squire will stand on the final rally. lie says that nothing would "make the gold power so happy as his defeat," and the Ledger sardonically observes that "if the slaughter of this formidable adversary can so fill it with exultation, it is at least probable that it may have cause to exult."

V. l'"AI It BANKS WINS.

The expected has happened. Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks has been named by the Republican legislative caucus as the candidate for United States Senator from Indiana to succeed Lion. D. W. Voorhees. The vote stood as follows: C. W. Fairbanks, •50 W. R. McKeen. 11: Gen. Lew Wallace, (i: Judge R. S. Taylor, 3: Judge J. U. Raker, 3: Frank R. I'osey, 1, Renjamin Harrison, 1. The Republican vote iu the Senate and House is 85. The result shows that every member was present Mr. Fairbanks received 17 votes more than necessary to a choice. The outcome is gratifying mainly for the reason that the canvass for this desirable nomination has been conducted in a manly and straightforward manner. There was no bitterness between the friends of the several candidates and there are no wounds to heal. The canvass was spirited and for awhile inattere were ominous for a row, but the spirit of concession prevailed and harmony was restored. The nomination of Mr. Fairbanks will meet with the general approval of Republicans throughout the State. They know they will be represented in the Senate for the next six years by a stalwart Republican. He is a man of commanding ability, has been a successful lawyer, and has always been a willing and able champion of Republican principles. Socially, Mr. Fairbanks is companionable, has a hearty sympathy for everybody, and all, rich and poor, stand with him upon the same level, which it largely the secret of the great number of friends he has in every part of the State. That he will discharge his duties ably and faithfully and in a manner that will reflect credit upon himself and honor upon the State, goes without saying.

LOCAL S»VJ5ItNM'KNT ltKFOKM. The laws of Indiana concerning the government of counties, townships, cities and towns may be likened more to a crazy quilt than to anything else. From the time the constitution was adopted, over forty years ago, each Legislature has had its inning in adding a patch,-until the whole mass has become apiece of legal absurdity. In this respect there is great cry for reform. Many of these reforms were pointed out in papers read by capable men before the State Chamber of Commerce, at its annual meeting in Decomber. The consensus of opinion as expressed by these gentlemen is that an extensive revision is necessary, and that it should be undertaken in a wise and prudent manner after a careful study of the existing evils. To this end they favor the appointment of a commission composed of three competent men, not more than two of whom shall be of the same political party, to prepare a compilation and revision of the general laws governing municipal corporations, including counties, civil and school townships, cities and towns. The present Legislature will be asked to pass a bill authorizing the Governor to appoint this commission. Tho bill or bills that will be prepared are to be presented to the Legislature at the opening of its next regular session. Until some better plan is suggested the JOURNAL endorses the bill suggested by the State Board of Commerce, for the reason that it is manifest that the machinery of local government, devised as it was a half century ago and from time to time patched up, has long since been outgrown by the State.

A movement is on foot to curtail the monopoly which the State University and State Normal have inaugurated not only as regards State funds but all educational positions of consequence in the State. The managers of these two schools seek the passage of laws most favorable to their graduates and almost prohibition to everyone else. They need Bquelching and need it badly. If the educational machinery of Indiana is to be manipulated in the interests of the self important but yery verdant graduates of these two institutions things have come to a very bad pass. In selecting county and city school superintendents and school teachers there are other things to be considered beside the trade mark of our Stale institutions, the Hon. D. M. Geeting to the contrary notwithstanding.

REJ'UESENTATIVE HARRIS, of Hamilton county, has introduced two bills which are sure to pass. One amend the fee and salary act of 1895, so as to cure the defect in Section 12(1, by exempting treasurers and auditors from the requirement to earn their salaries in fees. The other is for an act legalizing the acts of county commissioners who have allowed county oilicers salaries, notwithstanding the provision of Section No. l'.«) of the salary act.

TJIK people voted on the tariff question in November quite as much as they voted on the money question, and the men who were elected to Congress thoroughly understood the situation.

Tiik W. C. T. U. of Crawfordsville might show that it is alive circulating some anti-cigarette petitions for the use of the legislature

(iOVI!li.\(H MOUNT'S 1XAUGU11AL. Tho ceremonies attending the inauguration of James A. Mount as Governor were without pomp and display but with good taste and sufficient dignity. His inaugural address can be commended both for the many good recommendations lie made and for its brevity. It is a multurn in parvo document and will be read with interest and profit by all of whatever political faith. His address shows that he is in close touch with the people and that their thoughts are his thoughts. 15y those who know ti.e Governor and his abilities lie enters upon his administration with no misgivings on their part, but with full confidence that it will be characterized by prudence and wisdom.

1.1

I.

THE Indianapolis Journal in an extended comment on Governor Mount's inaugural starts out by saying: "By those people who judge the importance of a State paper by the time taken for its delivery or the number of pages which it covers, Governor Mount's address is a lamentable failure, but to those who rate the quality of a document upon what it contains, the less than three thousand words which the Governor spoke yesterday is one of the most suggestive and practical addresses ever made to an Indiana Legislature. The address is worth two or three readings

FARMERS cannot be made to believe that they do not need more protection against foreign competition when the official reports tell them that large •quantities of agricultural products are being imported under the present tariff law.
