between ate attitude of Mr. Bryan and that which would have been taken by the republican politicians toward a panic under a Bryan administration, the Indianapolis News of Wednesday says: "We all remember how it was in 1893. Even respectable republican or gans, and representative republican leaders, instead of trying to minimize the scare, did all they could to exaggerate it in order that they might hold the democratic administration responsible for it. There was a most determined effort to make political capital out of a panic that had really

begun long before the inauguration of President Cleveland. No consideration of public welfare weighed with these men. To them it was a Cleveland panic, and therefore their play was to make it the worst that had ever come on the country. In this particular, at least, there has been a great change for the better. As a rule the papers have exerted themselves to the utmost to restore public confidence.” The Bluffton Banner is printed from a brand new high speed, two revolution Whitlock newspaper press, just installed. The new purchase is among the best country newspaper presses on the market, and the Banner shines forth like a daisy. The event marks the passing of eight years as a daily and a mighty good one, too. The Banner is pacing a clip that is gratifying to its friends and they are many

Speaker Cannon comes out in a long interview and joins the president in the statement that “confidence alone is lacking.” It must have required great efforts to have solved this complex economical question at this time so completely.

MAKES A REPORT President Kling Issues Statement Concerning the 1.-O. League. A MEETING SUNDAY To Determine the Make-Up of the League’s Organization for Next Season. The Richmond Palladium said: President A. R. Kling of the Indiana-

Ohio league, has called a meeting of league managers and officials for Sunday. It will be held in Richmond. The probable makeup of next year's organization will be discussed and some of the cities who are to compose the league will be definitely settled. It is a certainty that Richmond will be in the reorganized league, but not so much can be said of several other towns in last year’s organization. Richmond was the biggest drawing town, with Kokomo a close second. It is probable that Kokomo

: will be again chosen. According to the dope sheet as it stands at present, several larger Ohio 1 towns will be admitted to the circuit and a few of the smaller towns dropped. Marion and Anderson are hot after a franchise in the Indiana-Ohio ■ league and Sunday the two cities will be represented. Harry Hall will speak for Kokomo and Marton while Howard Witt of Anderson will appear before the base ball magnates and plead the cause of Anderson. Muncie is also particularly anxious to land a berth. President Kling of the league has submitted his report to Manager Clarence Jessup and Treasurer W. H. Bartel of the local base ball association. It shows that Richmond paid into the general league coffers 8301.38. while Kokomo was second with 8204.45. ; Decatur paid 1126. Bluffton brought I up the rear with a measly little donation of 885.62. The total per cent paid by all teams to the general treasury was 8967.89, while expenses of the league amounted to 8887.88, leaving a balance in the treasury, after all bills were met, of 880.81.

SOMETHING ABOUT KNOCKERS. — A little Philosophy That Should be Observed. Probably there is not a town, large or small. wWeh doe* not boast a few ‘ inhabitants vho have never a good word tor it, and who continually express themselves as disgusted with the place in every reepecL Some towns have more advantages than others inI tellectually. musically, artistically or I educationally, but there is something to be said in favor of every hamlet j and village, no matter how small and ! rhe people who tail to acknowledge the good things concerning their places of residence are bigoted pessimists and deserve to find nothing but lemons in their Christmas stockings. A town is what the inhabitants make it. and is bound to take its tone from the majority of people who live in it If it boasts a class that patronize melodrama. and cares nothing for the elevation of the stage, then it is the place of the lovers of art and music to spend some of their surplus energy in improving conditions instead of camplaining of them. It is remarkable the amour of influence each human being exerts in a community, and several working together may do great things, as the student of sociology knows. Doubtless many of the things that members of the Knockers club say are true as can be, but they are not getting the best out of conditions if they see nothing but the unpleasant side of them. Shakespeare lived before the word “knocker” was coined, but he must have been thinking of this class of beings when he wrote: "All places that the eye of Heaven visits Are to the wise man ports and happy havens.” —From social columns of Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. o THE ELITE PLAYERS. The Elite players presented “East Lynne” at the opera house last night to fair sized audience and every one present were more than pleased. The work of Miss Maude Selden was fine, and we hear nothing but praise for her finished acting in last night’s bill. It is strange that this company didn't do more business throughout the week as they certainly merited capacity business all the week. Tonight the company win present for the first time in this city, “Kit Carson.” a western drama full of merit. This is not one of the blood and thunder dramas usu ally put on by stock companies, out one of real merit with compete" t people. the play will be nicely staged and you will be amply repaid for being there. Tonight will close the engagement of the Stetson-St. Clair Co. in this city and we wish them abundant success in their travels. They are the finest company of ladies and gentlemen we have ever had the pleasure to meet.
