THE GOLDEN RULE.
MR. WINGATE.
He Is Chosen to Succeed Col. Walker on The State Board of Tax Commissioners.
Special to the Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 8.—Gov. Mount this afternoon announced the appointment of John C. Wingate as a member of the board of tax commissioners to succeed,Col. I. N*. Walker, of Indianapolis. Col. Walker, Sid Conger and Mr. Wingato were all active candidates for the position. The appointment gives the greatest satisfaction in
Indianapolis where Mr.Wingate is well and popularly known. The appointment is for four years and is worth about $3,800. It employes about three months' time each year. Mr. Wingate filed his bond at once.
THE POOR.
Eloqueut Figures Demonstrate Concluslvely That We Have Tliein Always With Us.
The trustees made their settlement Monday and the poor accounts for the months of December, January and February were allowed. These, of course, are the thred hard months of the year and the poor expense to the public is much greater than in ordinary months. THE JOURNAL publishes to-day the poor accounts of the sever al townships for the winter months of the last four years. In 1896 the amounts were not required to be lumped as now so in two or three of the townships it will be noticed there are no figures, footings of the total never having* been made. The ac counts were as follows:

The Question of Accounts.
On Wednesday the county commis sioners, with the county attorneys went over the accounts of the several county officers and several of the charges were eliminated,the county officers' bill being interpreted liberally For example, the item in the sheriff's bill for tobacco furnished the prison' ers at the jail was disallowed. The account has been allowed from time immemorial and the sheriffs have al ways maintained that tobacco is about as indispensable at the til as water most prisoners want it much more and are inclined to act in an ugly manner if it is denied them. A strict interpre tation of the law will affect nearly every office in the county to a greater or less extent and in some cases will make a rather rough path for the of fieial.
For Possession of a Farm.
All day long in 'Squire Stilwell court Tuesday was waged the legal battle between John Hornbeck and Tom and Gordon Taylor, the contest involving the right of the Taylors to occupy the farm of Mr. Hornbeck, who claimed that their lease expired on March 1. The jury on the first ballot found for Mr. Hornbeck and the de' fendants must give immediate posses' sion.
AUSTIN BIDWELL DEAD.
The Reformed Criminal Passed Away nt Butte, Montana, Tuesday Night.
An Associated Press despatch from Butte, Montana, says: "Austin Bidwell, one of the men who became famous through the Bank of England forgeries, died here tonight in his room in the Mantle block. The cause of his death was given as grip. He was 53 years of age and a native of Chicago, to which place his body will be taken for burial. "Austin Bidwell and his brother, George Bidwell, came here about two weeks ago. They said thev expected to start in business here, h. 'fig1 backing in the east to eDgage in mining. He was taken sick about a week ago. "The story of the B:dwell6 is pretty well known. By means of forged securities in 1873 they got 85,000,000 from the Bank of Eogland, after victimizing other banks in Europe by meaDs of forged letters of credit.
Their idea was to get fifty millions and then compromise with the bank. In the big game they failed and fled. George Bidwell was caught in France and AuBtin Bidwell in Cuba. They were tried and given life sentences with their two confederates. After twenty years they were released."
Bidwell visited Crawfordsville a year or so ago and spent several days here, writing for THE JOURNAL a couple of lengthy articles on his experiences in the English prisons. THE JOUBNAL had previously published, as a serial, his story of his crime, the same being entitled "From Wall Street to Newgate."
JOHN L. WILSON.
The Washington Post Tells of His Career In the United States Senate.
Washington Post: In the house where he served a term or two, Wil son, of Washington, was aa animated cyclone. In the senate, where he has been since his state was admitted to the union, he has been &b quiet as lamb. He is a living evidence of the subduing effects of the senate. When he was in the house, Wilson was al ways quick in repartee, and would moreover, demolish the carefully pre pared argument of some serious mem ber by a sarcastic question or a witty remark. The dignified fathers of the senate trembled when they heard that the irrepressible Wilson waB coming over to their side of the capitol. Their fears were groundless. Wilson sub sided as soon as he put his foot inside the senate chamber. In the cloak rooms and the lobbies he was still something of his old self, but on the floor he was as sober as a judge. His reformation was complete.
But Wilson the senator and Wilson the representative were alike in one thing. Nothing that appeared in sight for the state of Washington was al lowed to escape, and what he did not see he asked for. No senator has se cured so much for his state, in proportion to its population, as Wilson. This is greatly to his credit, and is apprecl ated by his people, even though he was not returned to the senate. He might have come back if he were not a comparatively poor man. As it is he will make more money out of the senate than he ever could have made if he had remained there. He is now interested in gold mines in a country where the output of gold rivals the South African fields, and he has other interests which promise him goodly revenue. Of course, he will not keep out of politics. He is too active, and has too many friends to sink into ob livion. For the next few years, how ever, he will be concerned in enrich ing the Wilson bank account, and if ha comes to the senate again, will rank with his millionaire colleagues.
There is one thing about Wilson experience in the senate that is worth relating. If a new policeman happened to be stationed at a door, Wilson was sure to appear at that entrance, fail to be recognized as a senator,- and forthwith make trouble both for himself and the officer. It is said that one day he ran foul of no less than four watchmen, none of whom would believe that he was a senator. Then, while in his perturbed state of mind, he went to the senate telephone. The regular operator had, unfortunately, gone to lunch and anew man was on duty. He did not know Wilson, and did not want to allow him the use of the 'phone. This filled the cup of Wilson's anguish, and the protest which he entered could be heard for a dozen squares. Out in Washington, however, Wilson will not have this trouble. He is known from one end of the state to the other.
Death of John Snyder.

A GOOD THING-
The Seiv Dog Tax Law Curtails the Dog Crop and Swells the Township Funds.
Monday there was a practical demonstration of the eternal fitness of the new dog law which went into effect last spring. The township trustees Monday turned into the treasury the sum of SI,060, the same being money from the dog tax fund which they had left after defraying all claims for sheep killed. Heretofore there has been little or no surplus and not infrequently a deficit. The new law works both ways. It raises more money infinitely than the old law and it very materially reduces the number of dogs, thus throwing an indirect protection around the sheep. Knowing ones say that the number of worthless dogs in the county has been reduced something like one-half since the new law became effective. The only pity is that the law isn't even more rigorous and that it wasn't made effective many years ago. The surplus money from the dog fund is apportioned to the township funds and most of it goes for tuition. |{ice-PMton.

Trustees Alight be Impeached. The friends of county and township reform were Tuesday alarmed for a while when the discovery was made that the township reform bill has no penalty clause. The enemies of the bill declared that because of the absence of this clause the trustees all over the state would refuse to act in accordance with its provisions, but Attorney General Taylor. Btated that the impeachment law of 1897 fixes a penalty for failure or refusal to per? form official duties and this covers the present case. The county bill has a penalty of from 850 to 8500 fine for failure to comply with the provisions of the law. The general impeachment bill all provides for removal from office for all who refuse to comply with the law.
