FRIDAY, JUNE 4. 1887.

AN Indiana company has been formed to build an electric trolley railroad in Nicaraugua 150 miles long.

NOTWITHSTANDING the crime of 1S73, when silver was struck down by the hand of a midnight assassin, the production of that metal in the United States last year was 57,700,000 fine ounces, an increase of 1,1100,000 ounces over 1805.

S IT is the duty of every citizen to become a politician, a politician in the largest and best sense of the term, not merely a political brigand who enters the political arena as a footpad goes on the highway for plunder, but to master the science of government, to thoroughly understand the relation of the citizen to the republic.

THOSE foreign countries which are talking about retaliating against our tariff law will think several times before they deliberately cut off their market with the United States which they now have. When the authorities of those countries recognize the fact that they will, by retaliation, lose a market two or three times as valuable as the one which they propose to take away from the United States, they will abandon the idea.

Ouu Spanish-American friends at the south of us evidently recognize the fact that the Republican party is again in control in the United States. They are sending a delegation of business men here to encourage trade, a step which they carefully avoided taking during the existence ot the Cleveland administration, which cut off the reciprocity treaties and thus closed to the. United States the markets which those treaties had opened in those countries.

WHEN one is dead how soon forgot. The statue of Governor Morton lias been moved from its commanding position in front of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument at Indianapolis over to a place where it faces a livery stable. To see it now the visitor must inquire where it may be found. It will probably remain there until an "artist" gives his technical opinion that its proper place is in Greenlawn cemetery, down among the railroad shops.

THE Cincinnati Post philosophically observes that the hoards of otlice-seek-ers tiiat are gathered at Washington, pushing and straining for places under the present administration, present a spectacle that, at first, is simply amusing, but on a closer inr ight becomes something pitiful. The scramble for oflice may be said to be an American institution. Fewer men would be engaged in this unseemly struggle if they could learn the nobility of selfdependence and the contentment that comes from it, and learn also the truth of the statement. "Politics i.s a great system wherein one man in every ten is constantly seeking to make himself a burden to the other

HAMMOND Leader: No cultured man has ever read "Hen Uur.'' with all its thrilling incidents,and not felt that its author was a great man possessed with a splendid brain. That this is true no sane man will deny when he comes to remember that its author is (Jen. Lew Wallace of Crawfordsville, our neighboring city. General Wallace has gained renown as the greatest of American writers, and now his many friends are urging him for a seat in the Senate of the United States. What a fitting rounding out of a great career would such a climax prove. Like Washington, he was great in war, still greater in literature, and now great in the hearts of the people of the Hoosier State. (Jen. Wallace stands very close to the com. mon rank and file of the people of this State. His election to the Senate of the nation would meet the approval of nine-tenths of all the people of Indiana.

CAN any of the people who are complaining about the "slow progress" being made under the McKinley administration point out any administration in the history of the country in which as rapid progress was made? It is less than three months since William McKinley was inaugurated, and in that time a bimetallic commission has been sent abroad to open the way for an

international currency conference, the prison doors in Cuba have been opened to American citizen8,money forwarded to that island to feed citizens of this country there who are suffering for food, a special commissioner sent to learn the facts upon which to base the action which is intended to carry out the enunciations of the platform in regard to Cuba, a warship sent to Hawaii to protect American interests there, and perhaps open the way for definite action regarding her appeal for admission to the Union, appointments have been made as rapullv as respect for existing laws will permit, and a tariff bill framed and passed by one branch of Congress and under discussion by the other. Can any bodv point out another administration which accomplished as much in the first three months of its existence?

BICFOHK his inauguration President McKinley decided upon three things looking to a settlement of the financial question. One was that our diplomatic representatives at the leading foreign courts should receive special instructions to direct their efforts toward bringing about an agreement with these governments to take up the subject of an international agreement as to coinage: another was to appoint a commission to represent the United States in an international conference: and the other was that a domestic currency commission should be appointed to draw up a plan for a national currency system. The latter remains to be done. Immediately upon the disposal of the tariff" bill the Republicans contemplate the passage of an act authorizing the President to appoint a currency commission «to make an investigation and report recommendations to the regular session in December. Tin's action was foreshadowed by Secretary Gage in the statement he made to the business men of Cincinnati. Mr. Gage said:

If you for a moment, any of you, have allowed yourselves to believe that the great mission, the great duty imposed upon this administration, of establishing the currency and banking system of this country upon solid and enduring ground is forgotten, put that aside.

Although Mr. Gage spoke these words they were evidently inspired by the President. After the question of revenue has been settled the financial question will receive attention,

A ]'rotrr«ssiv} ISioyHo Snpp»r. The latest novelty awheel is the progressive bieyeie supper, says the Chicago Tribune. Just what it is even those who attended the first one on the South Side last week do not seem to exactly know, but it is unanimously reported to be "great sport." More are to follow, and it is likely another cycling fad is being begun.

The progressive bicycle supper given last week was the result of the combined brains of a party of briglit young people who take most of their recreation awheel. Elaborate invitations in verse were sent out, which had the effect of thoroughly confusing the recipients, but gathered them all together, with their wheels, at the home of one of t-lie party about supper time. Instead of finding a supper the hungry riders were presented with a napkin each and told to move on to the house of another of the persons getting up the scheme. The crowd immediately mounted their wheels, and, with napkins tucked in collars or Hying out from handle bars, a fast run was made around several blocks and to the second home.

Arrived at stop No. 2 the party were seated at a table and an elaborate soup course served. The wheelmen thought they were in clover and at last in the way of getting a splendid dinner, but the service stopped with the soup, and nothing was to be done but to move on as directed, to the third home. Here the fish course was eaten, and then another jaunt awheel was in order. In this way at last the whole neighborhood was covered and the full dinner was at length secured.

According to programme the party was to stay for the evening at the house where the dessert was served, but there arose a diiliculty. Some of the guests extended their last ride to the park, and did not arrive until late. Others skipped the last two courses and stayed to dance at one of the other houses. When the smoke of battle cleartd away the party was split up in several groups at the various places visited, and were enjoying themselves in their own wa3's. But it was all the more sport, and the affair is HQW voted to be one of the taking innovations of the season.

llurry II u^lu*s 111 a Now Kol. Harry Hughes, son of Paul Hughes of this city, is one of a company which have just captured four dozen Vermillion county bull frogt at Danville, 111., and shipped them to Spokane, Washington, where an organization will attempt to colonize them. Frogs are said to be as scare in Washington as enameled molars in a hens mouth, and the experiment is being made in hopes of adding some insectiyerous animals to assist in ridding that country of swarms of insects.
