FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1899.

THE travelling library bill has been killed.

IF the Republicans of Indiana are not defeated at the next election it will not be the fault of Mr. Resor, the Member from Tippecanoe.

Iir the reform bills are defeated and itfi own platform is repudiated, what kind of a fipht can the Republicans put up in Indiana in 1900?

IJP

the legislature passes the townBhip and county reform bills, a good primary election law and a law preventing public officers from accepting railroad passes, Republican victory in 1900 will be assured. 5

REPRESENTATIVE ARTMAN voted to continue the levy for state colleges at the present enormous rate. On the state echool question Mr. Artman is not showing up as hiB constituents hereabouts could wish.

IT is a credit to Montgomery county politics that our county and township officials are not lobbying against the reform billB, at least so far as known, and that our two representatives and one senator are loyally supporting them.

THE bill to provide a uniform system of book keeping for all county ofIcers in the State was defeated in the house after passing the senate. The bill was a meritorious one but was bitterly fought by Representative Resor, of Lafayette. We are glad to state that Representatives Scott and Artnan voted for it.

THE non-state schools have been defeated in both senate and house in their efforts to get the state board dncation re-organized. This victory the state school trust will probably make it more insolent and tyranical than ever toward the colleges outside the trust and the discrimination against their graduates will probably be more high-handed than ever before.

STEAM rail roads have bought their right-of-way at great expense but county commissioners have began the cuBtom of giving away public highways to electric railway companies. In a

few yearB when travel by electricity becomes common these concessions will be of immense value. To prevent the gift of these valuable privileges to private corporations is the object of a bill introduced by Mr. Artman.

THE township and county reform ills are aimed at no honeBt and efiiofficer. They are intended to tbe opportunities so numerous for dishonest officers, and to tendency toward extravaays found where men are to spend other people's ther in public or private cas. The reform bills do not rehoneBt officers any more than requiring them to give bond.

THE treaty is confirmed and now we are ready to discuss in a calm and sensible manner whether we wish to expand or not. And about the first thing

to be done in order that the dis­

cussion may be intelligent is to decide •just what the term "expansion" means. Probably no two senators have exactly the same conception of the

term and the people generally •re

equally at sea. The idea that the confirmation closed the queBtion and committed UB to a

thoroughly informed our-

A GOOD RECORD WANTED. The legislature which started out with such brilliant prospects and such an air of determination to make a creditable record is in danger of adjourning without accomplishing anything worthy of note or worth the $105,000 which it costs the taxpayers. True, no viciouB legislation has been able to make any headway but there now remain barely three weeks of the session and not a single law whiph will do to make a campaign on has been passed. For Republicans in the legislature must certainly realize that the party will be held responsible for their acts, or failures to act,and a campaign can't be made on failures to act. The best kind of a campaign to make and the easiest to win is a campaign of pledges fulfilled and faithfully kept. The most important plank in the Republican state platform is that promising reform in local government and it is the one the people emphasize the moBt. It is the one which, carried oixt, will be the strongest argument for another Republican legislature or which, ignored, willjbe the strongest argument against.

It makes little difference what else the legislature may or may not do, on the fate of these reform bills depends to a large extent the fate of the Indiana Republican party. The bills are having no trouble in the senate. The Republicans are almost unanimous for them and the Democrats are not opposing them with any vigor. But in the house the Democrats present a solid front against them and are aided in this attempt to put the Republican party in hole by Mr. Resor and others. What is needed is a caucuB to bring these gentlemen into line. They should be made to understand that they are not bigger than their party.

THE opposition to the county and township reform bills is confined principally to county and township officers. Many of these gentlemen we doubt not oppose them honestly because they believe them impracticable and unwise. We know honest and honorable office holders in Montgomery county who are opposing them on these grounds. But they are not contributing money or valuable time to bring about their defeat. An officer who does that has something at stake concerning his private interests However, the bills are backed by the best sentiment of the State as reform measures, the people demand reform and the Republican party has., promised reform. Unless the Republican party wishes to stultify itself the bills must go through in substantially the form in which they were introducad. They will go through. They are based on sound principles, principles as old as the government itself. The details of the bill are taken from IBWB which have proved to be practicable in other states for years. In two years practice it may be that it will be found wise to change the laws in some respects but it is altogether likely that they will prove beneficent in their general results.

REPRESENTATIVE ARTMAN has introduced a bill providing for machine voting which has been favorably reported to the house. Its passage will receive the unqualified approval of the people if it prescribes that machines may be purchased at the option of the commissioners or councils. Mr. Artman, by the way, is making a record in the legislature which will be a credit to him in the future. He started out by voting for the wrong man for senator but so far as we have been able to discover, he has been right ever since then.

THERE is a bill before the legislature providing for the TorrenB system of land transfer. It is identical with laws in many other Btates that have given great satisfaction as tending to simplify the sale of real estate and reduce litigation over titles. No property owner is compelled to place his land under its provisions but may do so if he desires. We have heard of no valid arguments against it and believe its passage would be a positive benefit the the people of the state.

THE soundness and justice of an inheritance tax is obvious to all. It is on the statute books of a great many Btates and is a part of the United States revenue laws. Therefore it is to be hoped that the bill on this subject introduced by Mr. O'Bannon and passed by the house will be kindly received by the senate. It provides a tax of two per cent, on all bequests of over 810,000.

REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT has introduced a bill to amend the dog tax law and it has been recommended by the judicary committee for passage.

Going the Pace.

Saturday night the police picked up Harvey Barnes, of Ladoga, as he lay dead drunk on the Monon tracks near the station. Had he been left there he would have been killed by a train provided he did not freeze to death before one came along. Barnes, two years ago, was one of the substantial and respected citizens of Clark township. He is rapidly going the pace that not only kills but disgraces.

HEAVY TAX PAYERS.

A List of Those Who Paid on $10,000 or More During tlie Year 1808 In Montgomery Connty.

THE JOURNAL has frequently been requested to publish a list of the heavy tax payers of the county and to-day does so. The list as published is liable to considerable misconstruction, however, and needs to be prefaced by a few words of explanation. Many of the heavy tax payers of the county do not pay on nearly all their property here. Many have their heaviest interests elsewhere and accordingly are not listed for taxation in this county. Some others own interests in enterprises that are not in their names and accordingly the tax is upon the enterprises and not the individuals. Other explanations might be offered for seeming peculiarities and before a man is condemned as a tax dodger it would be well to consider that there are many ways in which his property can be listed for taxation without its appearing under his name Those in the county who paid, in their own names, on 310,000 or more for the year 1898 were as follows Geo. Abraham $10,340.00 Barbara Anderson.. 14,440.00 Kobert L. Ashby 9,370.00 Silas Ashby 11,825.00 Thompson Ashby 9,930.00 Arch & Annie E. Austin 17,380.00 Farmers' and Merchants' Bank,

Clave Away Three Hundred Cloaks. Bischof gave the poor children of Crawfordsville about three hundred cloakB on Saturday. Comment is unnecessary on thie kind deed, but we take pleasure in publishing the following letter:

MR. JOHN BISCHOF:—Allow me to congratulate -you upon the number of little BOUIS you made happy Saturday. I was perfectly amazed to see the number of little ones of our town in such want. I am sure it was a great act of benevolence upon your part, and is worthy of the highest commendation. The people of Crawfordsville should recognize this act as one long to be remembered. Allow me to thank you in this, your kind act, in behalf of suffering humanity. I am —1 A BYSTANDER.!

In Town.

Rachel Collins, the sister of the late Eph Wheeler, is in town and consents to the continuance of Zack Williams as administrator of her brother's estate. She came resolved to protest but after she had talked with Zack she concluded he was as sincere and honest as the day. Her excellent judgment does her credit and the Bpirit of the lamented Eph can now rest in peace.

The Iilcorlce PlanU

The licorice plant is chiefly grown on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, in localities where for three months, during the prevalence of hot winds, the temperature readhes 104 degrees, and for three months often registers 30 degrees below freezing point at night.

Text of tlie Lesson, John vl, 1-14. Memory Verses, 9-11—Golden Text, John vi, 35—Commentary Prepared

Iy the Rev. D. M. Stearns.

[Copyright, 1S98, by D. M. Stearns.] I,3. "A great multitude followed Him because they saw His miracles which Ho did on them that wore diseased." The true disoiples followed Him because they bolieved Him to bo the Messiah, Israel's deliverer and King, but the majority of people saw no beauty in Him thoy only saw a wonder working man who could heal them when they were siok or feed them when hungry. He had crossed the sea, perhaps to bo more alone with His Fathor, for Ho was so misunderstood by men, even by His disciples, but His Father understood Him perfoctly. The multitudes, however, would not let Him alone, their needs wore so many and He was so able to meet them. 3, 4. "And Josus wont up into a mountain, and there He sat with His disoiples, and the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh." The Passover was a feast of the Lord, but it had beoome a mere feast of the Jews, anything but an honor to God. To Him all was very real the animals slain by His own hand to provide coats of skins for Adam and Eve (Qen. iil, SI) the lambs by whose blood the firstborn were saved in Egypt the sacrifice He was 600n to offer of Himself—all were to Him very, very real, but to them a religious ceromony, a weary form. 6. "When Jesus then lifted up His eyes and saw a great 'jompany come unto Him, Ho saith unto Philip, Whence shall wo buy bread, that these may eat?" He was full of compassion for the multitudes, who were as sheep without a shepherd. As to their spiritual condition, their teaobers, the soribes and Pharisees, would neither enter the kingdom themselves nor suffer others to enter. Whatever religious rites they performed the object was to be seen of men (Math, xxiil, 6, IS). 6. "And this He said to provd him, for He Himself know what He would do." Man's thoughts and ways are very earthly. The Lord needs none of them. His are as far above ours as heaven is higher than the earth (Isa. lv, 9). He intends to fill this earth with His glory, and He knows just how He will do it. It was all plain to Him from the beginning. He will complete His body, the church, He will make Israel all righteous, He will subdue all things unto Himself, and He will let us be partners with Him in His kingdom and in all things tending to it, but Ho needs no suggestions from us as to how it shall bo done. 7. "Philip answered Him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for thom that every one of them may take a little." Therefore the mattor of- feeding them was wholly out.of the question, tlio money necessary was not to bo had, and if thoy had tho money where was tho bread to be found? So to Philip's mind the idea was simply preposterous. He did not know his Lord, nor did ho know Him even up to tho night bol'oro He was crucified (John xiv, S)). 8. 8. "Ono of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto Him, There is a lad hero which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what aro they among so many?" Wo look around and find that we have just so much, just tho veriest trifle of what is necessary for the work, so little that it is not worth considering, and so we, liko Andrew, feel that it is folly to think of it. These things aro written for our instruction. May wo learn from them and from other Scriptures to havo iaith in God, to dwell with tho King for His work (I Chron. iv, 23), sure that what the King purposes Ho is able to carry out. All power in heaven and on earth is His. 10. "And Jesus said, Mako tho men sit down. Now, there was much grass in tho place. So tho men

Eat

about 5,000. All suggestions, encouraging or discouraging, aro now ended. The Lord, who knew just what Ho would do, takes tho matter in hand and begins to work. Ho is the author and finisher ol every good work. Ho is tho only Creator, the only Redeemer, thero is none but He, and none liko Him. Ho says, I will work, and who shall lot it or turn it back? (Isa. xliii, 13). All tho disciples have now to do is simply to watch Him and obey His orders. l-Io fed millions for 40 years. Ho gave them flesh to the full without killing a single ox or shoep.

II. "And Josus took the loaves, and when Ho had given thanks Ho distributed to the disciples, and tho disciples to them that were 60t down, and likewise of tho fishes, as much as they would." He might havo rained bread from heaven as He did in the wildorness, but He took what was at hand, and looking to His Father that He might work He multiplied it, as Ho did tho oil and meal for tho prophet and those with whom Ho lodgod, and the oil for tho widow that her debt might be paid (I Kings, xi, 14 II Kings iv, 7). 12. "When thoy were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up tho fragments that remain that nothing be lost." While He provides abundantly Ho will have nothing wasted. Filled and overilowing but all to His glory, and that many may be benefited. An abundance of wino at the feast in Cana and much over, an abundance to eat on this occasion and much to spare, but nothing wasted, nothing lost. Whatever Ho gives us is that He may be glorified. How sad when Ho has to say "the God in whoso hand thy breath is and whoso aro all thy ways hast thou -not glorified" (Dan. v, 28). When He perceives in us a real desire to glorify Him, wo shall be abundantly filled. 18. "Therefore they gathered them together and filled 12 baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained ovor and above unto them that had eaten." People filled and baskets filled, and Ho did it all without any help from man. How wonderfully He used the lad and his loaves. Years ago I prayed that I might be like one of those loaves, fully in His bands, to be blessed and broken, and as I go from city to city, from day to day and from week to week, I think how wonderfully He has answered my prayer. 14. "Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, Bald, This Is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world." So they would take Him by force and make Him a king, but He, having sent His disoiples away by boa4 departed alonb to a mountain. The wind blew, the sea rose, and He did not oome until the morning watoh. Then He oame walking on the sea, and as soon as they received Him into the ship she was at the land. The people still sought Him, bat only because He had fed them.
