Even the late Governor Hanly, wita all his unctious pretensions to divine ordination for reform, seems to have overlooked some dark spots in Indiana’s institutional affairs. He left a trail of abuses which it takes a Marshall to uncover. —Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette. Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board of state charities, is preparing to take up at once an inquiry at the state prison to ascertain whether or not any of the foreign born inmates may be deported under the federal law which provides that any person convicted of a felony within three years after his arrival in the United States may be deported. The inquiry is to be made at the request of Governor Marshall, who desires to relieve the state of the expense of caring for such prisoners and to relieve the commonwealth of being inflicted with their presence after their release. Similar action taken at New York recently resulted in 319 of the 990 foreign convicts being deported.—lndianapolis News. If all of the fellows who are alleged to have committeed felonies at the election ia Lake county last fall had been convicted it would require x good-sized ship to carry them ail across the Atlantic. The gang laying the pipe line from Fort Wayne to Decatur, via Kingsland, is working fast, having gone nearly half a mile yesterday. The company has promised the city oi Decatur that there will be gas there sometime in August. At the rate of half a mile a day the company will be able to fulfill this promise The line is being laid so that there will be no chance of the pipe being injured in the freezing and thawing. With the line as | near this city as Kingsland it will be no trouble for the company to lay it on to this city.—Bluffton Banner.
