FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1897.
THE Congressional districts will stand as they were made by the Legislature two years ago.
MAJOR MCKINLKY will have 1,176 con. sular places to fill, and judging from the number of men traveling to Canton who go to file their applications it will be entirely unnecessary to order a draft.
GOVERNOR MOUNT'S appointments so far are no disappointments. When it comes to Custodian of the State House, however, he will be compelled to disappoint about one hundred and fortynine.
GOVERNOR BRADLEY has fixed Saturday, March 20, as the day for the execution of Jackson and Walling, the murderers of Pearl Bryan. Justice is sometimes slow but in this ca6e it seems to be sure. 7.
THE wisest step that Major McKinley could now take would be to station a man at the entrance to his dwelling with a stufEed club to stay the tide of the very hungry and very thirsty. The man needs rest.
THERE is no necessity for the Jones bill providing for a "mixation" of the schools as the statesman Gabriel
callB
it, and it should be killed. The colored people of Crawfordsville are on record against such an innovation, and they are right.
A BILL has passad the Senate converting the Prison South into a Reformatory prison. The prison is to be exclusively used for those who commit minor offenses and in whom there is some hope of reform, while the Prison North is to be for murderers and the hopelessly bad.
REPRESENTATIVE RETNOLDS' bill to regulate the compensation of township assessors has passed to engrossment in the House. The bill provides that in any township with a city of 5,000 and less than 10,000 population the assessor shall receive 20 cents for each list. The only township affected in this county will be Union.
•FOURTH class postmasters are growing hysterical about their jobs. The mails are burdened with appealing missives from these gentlemen to their representatives in Congress to use their influence to have them retained in office. Should Perry Heath be the headsman, which is altogether probable, he will relieve their anxiety in short order.
THE Tipton Advocate makeB a severe and just arraignment of a township trustee of that county who bought goods CJ time at such a high figure that the holder of two orders, amounting to S774 50, payable in six months and drawing six per cent interef-t, ofiered to discount them

CANNOT DECLARE A TRUTH.
Some time ago a learned scholar who resides in Posey county, introduced a bill in our Legislature which proposes to change the ratio that has existed between the diameter and

A ROW has been kicked up between Greece and Turkey, the little island of Crete being the bone of contention. Should it result in war King George of Greece will find out whether blood is thicker than water in case be invokes assistance from other powers. The King of Denmark is his father the Princess of Wales and the Dowager Empress of Russia are his sisters his wife is a cousin ol the Czar of Russia, and his oldest son is brotber-in law to the Emperor of Germany. On the ground of kinship the heroic Greeks should not only have sympathy but material help. It would be no loss to civilization if Turkey should be wiped from the map of the world.
IT MIGHT be well for the farmers of Montgomery county to be on the lookout for the hedge fence man. Word comes from Clinton county that several farmers there have been caught. A baker's dozen of them have notes out amounting to 840,000. These are secured by mortgages on their farms, and it is not at all unlikely that they will lot-e them when the notes fall due. Montgomery county is one of the counties in which it is said the operators will work and it would be well for our farmers to be on the alert The safe plan for them to pursue is to attach their names to no kind of a paper however innocent it may appear on it face. A hedge fence may be a good thing, but a hedge note may be your ruin.
circum
ference of a circle from 3.1416plus to 3.2. It was represented that this change was to be made in the interest of facilitating mathematical calculations which have always been more or less complicated by the use of the long decimal and the plus Bign. Commenting on the proposed legislation the Chicago Times Herald humorously remarks:
Contrary to expectations, nature has kept right on doing business
at the old
stand, and the circles have continued to be just as circular as ever. But the makers of the geometrical problems and the publishers of school books h£ve been disturbed. It was known that the Indiana Legislature would not hesitate to upset the laws upon which the planetary system has been regulated for several thousand years if it believed it to be its duty to do so. Indeed, it was currently reported that a majority of Indianians at one time believed that the ratio fixed by nature between gold and silver could be easily changed'by legal enactment, and it took a vast amount of expensive literature to convince them of the error of their way in time to render the I roper verdict on Nov. 3 But now comes the joyful news that just as the Senate
was
the
about to change
ratio fixed by the Creator between the circumference and
the diameter
"the point was raised that the Legislature had no power to declare a truth," and it was indefinitely postponed. This is an old point It has been raised a great many times by the people and the daily press. But it is the first time on record that a Legislature actually confessed its inability "to declare a truth." In the meantime there is great joy among the mathematicians, and circular circles will still be the vogue among the makers of geometries. Nature may have made many grievous mistakes, but the Indiana Legislature will not attempt to rectify them this year.
THE veterans are dying at the rate of 40,000 a year. As the years go on the rate will increase. It is time to write of the passing of the old soldier. In the law for appointments to places in the departments IB a provision giving old soldiers certain advantages. Jt IS a dead letter. As an office-holder the veteran is not in it. The soldier vote is a consideration in politics, but it is growing less. The Grand Army is fast becoming a relic, and although a most honorable relic, yet there are but few of the rising generation who can realize
that
at one time there
stood under arms, arrayed for the defense of the Union, nearly 3 000.000 men, the greatest army ever mustered by any nation since the world
began.
Should these men be forgotten?
THE House Tuesday passed Representative Root's bill limiting the power of township trustees to incur debts. The bill bids fair to become a law. It limits the trustee
to
make
purchases for supplies beyond the amount of
and if there are no
funds on hand he is limited to the amount in the treasury. Should he deBire to incur an indebtedness he must first procure an order from the board of commissioners. Notice to the tax-payers must be given three weeks before the meeting of the board that such petition will be presented setting forth fully in the petition and notice the object for which such debt is to be incurred, and the amount of money required. It is a drastic measure but one which will be the means of saving thousands of dollars to the taxpayers, and perhaps some trustees from the penitentiary. It should therefore be hailed by both tax-payers and trustees.
THE figures from the nineteenth abstract of the Bureau of Statistics, which has just come from the Government printer, show that in 1867 the per capita of money in stock to have been S20 11 in 1896 it was 832.36. The per capita of money in circulation in 1867 was S18.28, one half of it valued in gold at 72c on the dollar in 1896 the per capita circulating was 821.10, all valued at par in gold. The per capita of the national debt in 1867 was $69.26 the year 1890 saw it reduced to SI3 41. Between the same years the per capita of interest on the debt declined from S3 S4 to 49c, and the annual national tax on each citizen from S9 87 to S4 94. These changes for the better are to striking that no disgruntled citizen will venture to mention the subj-ct of PER capita unless he is thoroughly misinformed about it.
ALREADY the free trade papers are setting up a cry about the "higher prices which the poor man will be compelled to pay for his food and clothes" when the new tariff law goes into operation. We think the poor man wiil recognize this cry. He will remember that he heard it when the Mc-Kinley law was passed and after it had been enforced. He will recall, too, that the cry was a lie then that under the McKinley law the prices of many articles, in fact, declined from keen comestic competition, and that if boine prices did go up, wages went up a great deal faster and a great deal higher.
THAT Sleepy Eye, Mirn., mechanic who is reported to Kavo 6old his patent on a rotary steam eng'oe to a foreign t-yndicate for §0,700,000, is a pure and a serene fraud. The American Machin
ist has ransacked the patent office, procured a copy of the patent, and pronounces the invention "an absolutely inoperative device." In other words, it won't run when steam is turned on. The Machinist mischievously suggests that it was a "sleepy eye" examiner who allowed the patent to issue.
HURRICANES, especially in the eastern part of
the
country, are supposed to be
modern affairs. But Browne's history of Maryland recites that "in 1667 a dreadful hurricane swept over Virginia and Maryland and did great damage. In the former province it was said that fifteen thousand houses were blown down, and four-fifths of the tobacco crop destroyed." Mr. Browne,
the
author, however, says that this must have been an exaggeration.

INDIANAPOLIS, Fob. 17.—The stage of the session has come when it is an excellent thing for members to keep their eyes wide open for schemes of various sorts that are run in thus late in the hope that they will escape attention and got through in the general rash of bnsiness. Two or three such have been caught already, the most notable being the fee and salary bill prepared by the couuty officers, which provided a system that was half fees and half salaries, and the general effect of which was to raise salaries all along the line. My impression is that these gentlemen took the wrong method of starting their bill through, and now it is not likely to get even slight consideration. It WPS quietly slipped into the senate and pulled through the committee on fees and salaries

crowded that one could hardly

By Saturday it had BECOME such a pest that the senate doorkeepers wero instructed to admit nobody who did not have a card and the house adopted a resolution ordering the doorkeepers to keep everybody not a member off the floor of the house.

Senator Drummond, who succeeded Senator "Sam" Parker as the democraic represeutive of Marshall and Fulton counties, has succeeded in making himself A good deal of a nuisance. He talks and talks at length upon almost every subject and is never half so happy as when he can find au opportunity to make a whaugdoodle political speech. There was genuine enjoyment, therefore, the other day when he was beautifully squelched by one of his Democratic colleagues, Senator Ellison. They wero discussing tho somewhat celebrated mathematical bill in the senate. "I may be densely ignorant upon this subject," Senator Drummond was saying. "Consent! Consent!" interrupted Senator Ellison, and the laughter that greeted the sally drowned out

It occasionally happens that very important action is taken in either house with only two or threo members voting.
