FRIDAY, APRIL 9. 1807.

ONK of the qualifications of the new State Librarian is that he lectures on Sbakspeare.

GOVERNOR PINGBKB, of Michigan, now since he ha6 been deprived of one of his offices, will devote his spare time in lecturing on "Politics, Patriotism and Potatoes."

WHAT supreme nerve men must have to offer criticism upon the tariff bill, when they have shown themselves utterly incompetent to frame one wheh they had the opportunity.

IT is announced that the new State Librarian has appointed an old soldier as janitor of the library. Why was not the old soldier appointed librarian and the civilian from Franklin the janitor?

THE sugar trust and the Democrats still stand together. They went hand in hand under the Wilson -law, and they are now fighting the Dingley bill, and they are the only people who are fighting it. ,, ,v

IF the fool-killer is in want of a job we suggest that he take a pilgrimage to Kentucky. Let him begin with the Governor and go on down smiting right and left without distinction of party or previous condition of servitude.

THE New York House has unanimously passed a graded inheritance tax bill. Should it receive the sanction of the Senate as it probably will, it is estimated that it will bring at least 81,000,000 a year into the State treasury.

REPRESENTATIVE MCRKA, a Democratic Representative from Arkansas, in the course of the recent tariff debate said that if Mr. Cleveland's second term had come first he never would have had a second. And vet Mr. McRea voted against the Dingley bill.

A him, has been introduced in the New York Legislature to provide for the employment of convicts at road building for the next four years. The bill has a double effect. Tbe convicts will have something to do, and the roads of the State will be benefited considerably.

Tin: New Yoilc Press characterized the Dingley bill as tbe "iirst farmer's tariff." "The Republican party," it adds, "has already placed the factory beside the field, a thus given the field the home market for its products, and now proposes to open the markets of other parts of the world to the field as well."

THE Indianapolis News says the high tariilites are hearing from tbe county'. The low tariilites heard from the country in 1S94 and 1890, and in a way that they despised. The importers, the sugar trust and the Democratic party are not the country by along shot If the Niivs thinkb so it is laboring under a delusion.

LAST week Governor Mount accepted the resignation of Simeon J. Thompson as State Statistician and immediately appointed John 15 Conuer to fill out his unexpired term. Mr. Conner is one of the editors of the bulimia Ftirmcr aud is well equipped for the duties of the oilice, having filled the position once before. In fact he is the author of the law creating the office.

THE Diugley tariff' bill passed the House on last week by a vote of 205 ayes to 122 nays. Among the ayes were five Democrats and one Populist, all from the South. This shows the growth of protective sentiment in that section. The bill has gone to the Sen-1 ate where it will remain for an unknown length of time. The House has done its duty well and promptly, and :t now remains with the Senate to act with equal rapidity and promptness.

SECRETARY WILSON'S new plan for an intelligent distribution of seeds to the farmers of the country and a diversification of industries are meeting with universal commendation. Democrats as well as Republican papers approve them in unmeasured terms. The Atlanta Journal, owned by ex-Secre-tary of the Interior Hoke Smith, comments favorably upon the new Secretary's new plans in regard to the farm-! ers, and numerous other Democratic papers join in the commendation of Secretary Wilson's work.

BEET SUGAR.

If the American farmers produced the sugar beets necessary to furnish the sugar to the American people it would necessitate the cultivation of about 3,000,000 acres of land. Ger-

If

many, Russia, Prance, Austria, Hoi land and Belgium produced over 5,000,000 tons of sugar in 1S0G. This, placed at a low valuation of SCO per ton, amounts to §300,000,000. One acre of beets produces about 2,300 pounds of sugar, as an average in the above named countries, and in some of them —Austria, Germany and possibly France—the average crop per acre will rnn 2,000 pounds. It, therefore, takes over 4,000,000 acres of land to produce this sugar. In the United States we consumed in 1896 2,300,000 pounds of sugar, and produced only about 45,000 pounds of beet sugar. At the low estimate of twelve tons of beets per acre, at least one ton of sugar is produced from an acre of land therefore it will require 2,000,000 acres of land to produce our present consumption of sugar, which is on a steady increase. Compare this with the wheat crop, of an average of fifteen bushels per acre, which dees not give the farmer S10 per acre, when twelve tons of beets, the lowest possible estimate, give him over Sr0 per acre. Is it prudent to continue to purchase this sugar from foreign lands when our own labor can produce it at home? Instead of sending every year 350,000,000 or 875,000,000 in wheat to foreign countries enabling them to make the home price on the large quantities consumed at home, and importing over 8100,000,000 worth of sugar annually would it not be wiser to reverse this order of things and create anew and profitable agricultural industry?

THE Republican party has again shown its business-like qualities. In less than two weeks from the time of its meeting, the House, controlled by this party, has considered and passed the tariff bill and has done so despite the opposition and delay and faultfinding system of the Democrats. The bill now goes to the Senate, where the Republicans have already shown their business-like methods by taking it up in committee and putting more than a week's labor upon it prior to its passage by the House. It is expected that the bill will be completed by the committee during the present month and be taken up by the Senate early in May, passed by that body in June, and go into effect July 1st. President Cleveland and the free-trade Congress, elected in November, 1S92, did not get their tariff bill upon the statute books until August 2S, 1S94, one yeai and ten months from the date of the election. It looks now as though the Republicans would get their tariff measure ~in the statute books within seven months of the date of election, possibly even sooner than that.

EVEN the silver miners are joining the universal commendation of President MeKinley and his administration. It is only the politicians who make their living and their reputation by keeping up the silver agitation who refuse to commend the new President and admit that renewed prosperity has followed the election Col. .T. T. Grayson, of Denver, a silver miner and an advocate of silver currency, says, in discussing the improved conditions: "Everywhere is confidence in President MeKinley and the policies of the new administration. The change in business conditions and the sense of security that the people have, have made them realize the mistake of Hryanism and exult that he was defeated. Our people are beginning to feel the effects of prosperity."

OF course the civil service law is going to be savagely attacked. In every Congress since the law was passed in 1SS3 it has been assailed. Often it was assailed under condititions which were far more threatening to it than those which prevail now. Its foes were always beaten off, however, aud they will be beaten this time also. Not one of the Presidents, from Arthur, who signed the law and put it in operation, onward, was more earnestly devoted to this reform than is the present executive, and his party stands with him on tbis issue.

THE New York Sun has said well, "The tariff reformers made such a fist of it with their lying and disastrous Wilson tariff that, for very shame, they now should cease from boring the public with their dreary preaching They should but they don't. The same old twaddle that they drooled in 1890 and in 1892 they are drooling to-day. "Tariff breeds trusts! Tariff breeds trusts! Tariff is a tax! Tariff is a tax!" Thus it was, and thus it is, and thus it will be as long as there is left a twaddler to twaddle.

THE State Factory Inspector of Pennsylvania, Mr. Campbell, reports that 100,000 more persons are at work in that State now than there were six months ago. This is a very remarkable and encouraging statement. But it is by no means foreign to the general character of the industrial news of the day. On every hand are evidences of improvement. The certainty of a new tariff bill has set the wheels turning all ovtr the country.

IF the Denver Times is not careful it will be read out of the silver party. Here is what it says:

If everybody wants gold, those who have gold to offer can do nothing better than to get themselves into the market as speedily as possible. For that reason the suggestion of Mr. Elirich, of Colorado Springs, looking to the calling of a great gold mining convention in the near future deserves attention. This State, together with its fellow States along the Rocky Mountain chain, has a supply of gold that is practically inexhaustible, but the enormous extent of the supply and the ease with which it can be obtained by the generous application of capital are not as widely known as they should be. A rousing mining convention at this time might again set in motion the flow of monetary investment and of population toward the West.

The idea that a Colorado newspaper could write a twenty line paragraph without mentioning silver and use the word "gold" three or four times would indicate that the age of miracles is not past. With the South clamoring for protection and the West for gold what may we not expect next in the course of time?

THE month of March has proved a remarkable one in the history of the Wilson tariff law. The Treasury has actually a small surplus for the month's operations, an event so unusual in the history of this act as to draw marked attention. This is due, however, to the fact that importers in the early part of the month took alarm lest the Dingley bill should be so framed as to shut off in some way their right of importating under the present low tariff rates, and therefore withdrew enormous quantities from the bonded warehouses, paying the duties on them and thus increasing the revenues to nearly what they averaged per month under the MeKinley law, and making the surplus for the month of March. This makes the fourth month in the history of the Wilson law in which an apparent monthly surplus has been created, but in every prior case it was accomplished by hold, ing back payments in order to make specially good showings just previous to elections or at the close of the fiscal or calendar years.

THE State Department continues to receive encouraging reports from Cuba. The attitude of the authorities there has undergone a remarkable change since tbis administration came into operation. Every few days brings reports of additional releases, and only three citizens of the United States now remain in Cuban prisons, asking intervention by this government in their behalf. Several others are still imprisoned, but they have either been given the fullest rights of trial under our treaties with Spain, or have, for reasons of their own, omitted to ask intervention in their behalf by this government No feature of the present administration has been received with sueh marked satisfaction and commendation as that relating to the right* of American_ citizens abroad

THE free traders have raised their old cry that by placing a duty of 11 cents a pound on wool will increase the price of every suit of clothes at least£5. As no suit of clothes has to exceed five pounds of wool it, is difficult to figure it out that 11 cents tariff would add more than 55 cents even if it be true, which is disputable, that the price of the article is increased by precisely the amount of the tariff and paid by the consumer. But this is the kind of meat the free trade Ciesars feed upon. They have nothing to «ay about the work and wages will give the consumers to enable them to buy a suit of clothes at any price.

COLONEL IXGEHSOI.I, puts it this way "Here is a shoe shop. One man in the shop is always busy through the day— always industrious. In the evening he goes courting some nice girl. There are five other men in the shop that don't do any such thing They spend half their wages of evenings in dissipation. The first young man by and by gets a shoe store of his own. Then marries the girl. Soon he is able to take his wife out riding in the evening. The five laborers, his former companions, who see him indulge in this luxury, retire to the neighboring saloon and pass resolutions that there is 'an eternal struggle between labor and capital.'"

SILVER miners and mine owners, while they want of course to get as big a price for their product as possible, recognize the fact that the refusal by the United States to adopt a six-teen-to-one standard is not going to destroy the demand for silver. Silvermine owners report that their mines are not only still running, but turning out unusually large quantities of the white metal, and that the improved financial conditions and business activity which have followed the election of MeKinley are having their effect upon the mining industry and the demand for the product of the silver mines.

THE report of the Auditor of State with reference to the business of the building and loan business of Indiana shows that there are 505 associations in Indiana, with 157,254 stockholders, who have subscribed for 8105,739,000 of stock. Of the numbers 101,675 are in­

vestors and 55,498 borrowers. The number of shares increased 97,625 last year, and the number of members 15,171.

SIGNS of the revival of business multiply everywhere. There is increased demand for labor and increased trade, closed mills are re-opening and everything indicates the good time which it wis expected that a Republican Administration would inaugurate.

ATTORNEY SHRUM SPEAKS.

That Ouepr Proceeding —More l'ncts Aliout the Tax Suits.

Mention was made in Saturday's JOURNAL of the filing of four suits against as many Express Companies for the recovery of delinquent taxes. Attorney Shrum, who filed the complaints for Prosecutor Kennedy, has this to 6ay: "Some time ago the Prosecutor told me that if, while going through the records, I found anything needing his attention, to inform him. I found that the four Express Companies, against which the suits were filed, had not paid their taxes for the years 1894 and 1895, and reported to the Prosecutor. The tax law of 1891 prescribes a penalty against any officer who shall wilfully neglect or refuse to perform any duties imposed on him by that act, and the Prosecutor told me to prepare complaints for the recovery of the taxes due from the Express Companies as required bv the act of March, 1893, which i6 amendatory of the act of 1891. This amendatory act prescribes that the prosecuting attorney shall bring suit in the name of the State on the relation of the auditor against any common carrier whose taxes are delinquent, for their recovery and fifty per cent, penalty and reasonable attorney fees. I prepared these four complaints, and having omitted the dates at which the State auditor had reported to the county auditor the valuation of the property of the several companies. I went to the Auditor's office and inquired of Auditor White when the reports were made, telling him that suit would be brought for the collection of the taxes. He referred me to the State Auditor's reports, and said the Attorney-General had asked, through Treasurer Johnson that tbe apportionment of the valuations of the property of the several companies among the several townships, cities and towns of the county should be made, which had not been done, and be reported to him. No information was given either to aie or to the Prosecutor that the Companies had paid the taxes to the Attorney-General or any other State officer. In fact, his letter to Treasurer Johnson, which has been shown me since the suits were tiled, shows they have not been paid. I filled in the required dates in the complaints, took theiu to Prosecutor Ivennedy's-ollice, where we read and compared them and the Prosecutor signed each one, and the request on each for summons to issue then I took them to the clerk's cilice and tiled them as requested by Mr. Kennedy.

When Mr. Kennedy and I discussed the forms of the complaints we both agreed that the law under which the proceedings were brought required the Prosecutor to use the name of the county Auditor as the relator, although the case was a State case for the benefit of the county, and that -it made no difference whether the Auditor consented or not, as the prosecutor's duty was imperative. Mr. White claims that when I asked for the reports, and told him what I wanted to learn from them, I said nothing about a suit. On that point we differ. I did not tell the Prosecutor that I prepared the complaints with Mr. White's full knowledge and consent. There was no reason why such a statement should be made. Inferentially, however, from the fact that while Mr. Kennedy and I were consulting about the cases I went to the Auditor's office and obtained tbe information above mentioned. We both assumed that the Auditor knew that such suits would be filed. The suits have not been dismissed, and there is no reason why they should be. But through courtesy to Mr. White the summonses have been withheld. The delinquent taxes, as well as the fifty per cent penalty are due the county, and there is absolutely no reason why they should not be collected, and the suits will not be dismissed until the tax is paid. I regret very much that Auditor White should take the position he has, because I was simply assisting the Prosecutor to do what the law says he shall do, and I think the taxes as well as the penalty ought to be paid into the county treasury. When the Western Union Telegraph Company's delinquent taxes were paid to the county treasurer, the penalty, although recovered by the AttorneyGeneral, as I am informed, was not paid to the county. It is probable, however, that it will be reported to the State Auditor by the AttorneyGeneral in his next report. The above is a plain statement of the facts without frills or comment."

Auditor White with indignant emphasis denies all previous knowledge of the suits. He declares that Attorney Shrum did not by even word or inference intimate to him such action.

Had be done so Mr. White would at once 'have seen Prosecutor Kennedy (who was informed that White knew all about it) in reference to the case. The American, the United States and the Adams companies had already paid their delinquent taxes into the State treasury and it was ready for apportionment to the several counties immediately upon their application with the statement of the sum due to each township in each county. The complaints are now. locked up in the safe in the Auditor's office.

Improvements at Pleasant View. Waveland Independent: Mr. Clore has about finished his aerial ferry across Sugar Creek. A wire rope has been stretched across the creek, twenty-five feet above the water. A basket will be suspended from this, in which passengers will be hauled across. Material is now on the ground for building a number of cottages,- and everything will be in good shape by the time the camping season opens.
