FRIDAY, MAY 7. 1897.

SENATOR FAIRBANKS, of this State, has been chosen as Chairman of the ^Senate Committee on Immigration.

He also has a place on the following1 committees: Census, Claims, Public Buildings and Grounds, and Geological Survey. The work on these committees besides his other duties incidental to the distribution of the ollices will fully employ his time.

WASHINGTON correspondents figure up a majority of twelve in the Senate for the new tariff bill, when it is shaped up in committee of the whole ready for passage. The general belief is that it will pass with a comfortable margin, including some Democratic and Populist votes. The committee lias evidently in its reshaping the bill kept in mind the necessity of attracting some of this outside support.

THE protection sentiment is rapidly growing in the South. A resolution is now before the Florida Legislature proposing an amendment to the State censtitution as will permit communities to encurage manufacturing by exempting them from taxation. Alabama has already made such provision, the exemption to continue for ten years. As a result of this liberal legislation a cotton mill to cost $1,000,000 is to be erected near Huntsville.

IK those Democrats are sincere when they assert that the passage of the Dingley bill will insure a Democratic victory at the next election they should remove all obstacles and permit it to become a law without any unnecessary delay. They are certainly very foolish to stand in the way of a measure that will strengthen them in the'next contest. It strikes one that they are just a little bit inconsistent. But that is nothing new. Inconsistency is a Democratic jewel.

THE Eastern war cloud hangs low over Albania, Montenegro, and Servia. People are studying the map of that section of the world. The hero of "The Captain of the Janizaries," hailed on its publicatian by the Harpers as "one of the strongest and most fascinating novels of the last quarter of a century," performed his exploits in that region. His battles were along the very lines of the Greek endeavor. "Scanderbeg" was the hero and leader of the very sort of men who are to-day emulating his dash and courage. His story is still the talk about the camp tires south of the Balkans. The book is full of accurate folk-lore and well-studied topography.

Til 15 SKNATK TARIFF UILlj. The tariff bill as reported to the Senate by the Finance Committee, makes many changes in the Dingley bill which passed the House. The differences between the House and Senate relate entirely to schedules, and the battle as to rates may be baid to be now on. As to the principle of protection all Republicans are agreed, but as Mr. McKmley said in his letter of acceptance they "are not committed to any schedules, or rates of duty," but they are committed to the "enactment of a taiiff law that will raise all the money necessary to conduct the government, and so adjusted as to give preference to home manufacturers and adequate protection to home labor and the home market." Both the House bill and its Senate amendments adhere to this principle, and it ought not to be difficult for these differences to be adjusted. It is therefore safe to predict that there will be no long conflict between the two branches on the bill. Of course, nobody can tell just what shape the bill will have when it passes the Senate. What the people are most interested in is that it shall become a law and that soon. They have demanded a law that will be protective and at the same time yield sufficient revenue to run the government without resorting to the issue of bonds.

TOO MUCH EXTRAVAGANCE. It is a well known fact that extrav agances to an alarming extent prevail in both State and county affairs. This policy has been going on for years, and all attempts to remedy the system of transacting public business hav been fruitless. It is high time that some practical reforms were intro duced. The Mull law, passed by the recent Legislature, is looked upon as a step in the right direction, but it is being severely criticised, and there

will be a demand for additional legislation. It is said that Governor Mount intends to make a careful study of State and county expenditures, ana that his message to the next Legislature will contain some vigorous suggestions on this subject. It is to be regretted that the last Legislature did not see fit to appoint a commission to revise the laws relating to county government. There is no question that there ought to be a general overhauling. It was thought that the fee and salary law would greatly reduce county expenditures and consequently lower taxation, but the reverse has been true. In 1803 the total sum paid to -county ollicers- in the State was 8550,310, and in 1S0G it was SS)5,2S4, while the aggregate for all expenses has increased from 8(5,079,143 to 87,709,035, an increase of more than a million dollars, And counties have been going deeper and deeper in debt, the increased indebtedness during four years amounting to about 8000,000. The demand at this time seems to be in favor of a system that will show thu people where every dollar of money raised by taxation goes. There are entirely too many "miscellaneous" expenses.

On the IHutli of Aliram Su it/.er. When death visits the home of an unbroken family and claims for its own one of its fairest jewels, there is sadness which can only be assuaged by the many loving membrancesof the deceased, whose character through life I can furnish far better than anything I else, those memories so precious to all! and while the hearts of friends and relatives are bowed down with grief, the comforting thoughts derived from the many evidences of the Christian

character always present in the life of the departed one are thankfully accepted by the bereaved.

THE PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.

A I'Yuturf! of tIn .Sunday Sclxxil Work AVliieli is Receiving Considerable Notice at. Present.

Very frequently in Sunday school when the teacher of the primary department is absent and the superintendent is trying to find some one to teach in her stead and they decline one after another, because of lack of preparation, do we hear him say: "Oh you do not need any preparation to teach the primary class—ony one can teach it." Yes, and over and over again in our city and county have we heard this remark: "Anyone can teach the primary class."' Now the fact of the matter is, "anyone" can nut teach the primary class, for it takes more preparation and careful study to teach that ciass than any other in the whole school, or than all of them combined. The little eyes and ears are wide open, seeing everything, hearing everything. The teacher must know what to do and what to say, and that which is of infinitely greater importance, what not to do and what not to say. Every primary teacher ought to be a kindergartner. If it is not possible to take a course in kindergarten work she should secure the books and other material necessary and pursue the course on her own account. She needs it. and she cannot teach her class without th-s preparation as well as with it. Let us have the best teaching in this most important class of the whole Sunday school.

Every primary and intermediate teacher ought to take the Quarterly Bulletin, a paper published in the interest of the international union of primary Sabbath school teachers. The editor is Israel P. Black, 2006 Park avenue, Philadelphia. Mr. Black is the secretary of 'he International Primary Teachers' Union. Articles are written for this paper by the leading primary teachers of the United States and Canada. The last issue has an article on "Child Study" and another on "Study Outline' ," by Mrs W. F. Crapes, president of the International Primary Teachers' Union. The paper costs but

twenty cents a year, or, in clubs of ten, only ten cents a year. Can any primary or intermediate teacher afford to do without this best authority on teaching for only ten cents a year?

Crawfordsville is to have a primary teachers' union. At the coming county Sunday school convention to be held at the Christian church in this city on Thursday evening and all day Friday, May 27 and 28, the interests of the primary department will be taken up and discussed thoroughly. Miss Eleanor D. Kirby, of Indianapolis, who is regarded by many as the beBt primary class teacher in Indiana, will be with us through the entire convention and will deliver addresses and conduct conferences and assist us in organizing our primary teachers' union. She is very anxious to meet all teachers of primary and intermediate classes and mothers. We are making special arrangements for this convention and thinit that it will be the most profitable ever held in our county. Teachers of all classes and moters would do well to attend.

In connection with the evening session Rev. Albert J. Alexander, of Center Presbyterian church, has kindly consented ».o give a stereupticon lecture on the life of Christ. This will be a rare treat for the S'unda\T school workers of our county as this is an entirely new feature in Sunday school couveution programmes. The programme is not as yet complete but will be published in a few days. C. W-

Provincialism In Greenrasii Green castle Banner-Times: The Crawfordsville JOURNAL speaking of the new fish law says: "It is illegal to stick your pole in the bank. You must hold it in your haud. Neither can you fish with two poles as heretofore." Come off', neighbor. Where did you get your piscatorial education? You should say "rods." The idea of an isthetic Athens angler using a pole! Crawfordsyille is surely degenerating. Pole, poles such vulgar terms gives us ennui.

WOOL! WOOL! Wool!~~"""r

The season is now at hand, and I want people to know that I am in the Wool business and always will be, and will pay as much as anyone in this county. I have not yet forgotten how to treat the people right. Anyone

Dr. Miller, who belongs to the reguular medical staff of the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, will stop at Crawfordsville, Ind., at the Ramsey House, on Monday, May 10, 1897, at which place he will stop on the same date of each month hereafter. The Doctor represents the Surgical Hotel and the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company. All those desiring to consult the Doctor concerning any disease or deformity can do so free of charge. If the case is one requiring medicine the Doctor will prescribe free.

The Doctor's connection with several prominent hospitals and his extensive practice in connection with the Surgical Hotel, gives him the experience which enables him to give very valuable advice to all who may consult him. As his stay is short everyone should try to be at his office as early as possible, so as not to be disappointed in seeing the Doctor. After treatment has been begun, the Doctor can be consulted at any time by correspondence and as lit returns on the same date of every mouth, patients can consult him personally monthly. d2wl
