The Indianapolis Star of last Saturday published three of April Fool jokes, all of them so silly that a school boy should have known that the occasion was April Ist. even if the big “Extra—April 1st —Extra,' head at the top would not have tipped it off. but evidently some people, even wise editors, are so “partisan" that one took this occasion to say that Senator Kern should have confessed the names of the "mysterious eight” during the campaign rather than now when the election is over. April Fool. We rejoice wjth the rest of the Indiana democrats over the selection of the Hon. Stokes Jackson for the position of sergeat-ot-arms of the house of representatives. It is a recognition of the worth and merit of Mr. Jackson as well as the payment of a debt certainly due the great state of Indiana. To Stokes Jackson as state chairman much credit was due for the splendid victories of last fall and of two years previous and the $6,500 job is none too good for him. He is an able man, of fine appearance and his strength was proven when even the Tamany Tiger, with all its power could not prevent his selection on the first ballot.

RESOLUTIONS. Whereas. Our brother, T. W. Watt?, has again proven his loyalty to a righteous cause; and Whereas, He freely gave up his employment alfter almost nineteen years of service with one firm, rather than be sent out of the city “on business for the company” at the time of our recent city option election, and thus be deprived of his right to cast a “dry” ballot; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Decatur Baptist church in regular business meeting assembled, do hereby express our most hearty appreciation of such loyalty to the eternal principles of truth and righteousness as is shown by our brother in the stand he has taken. Resolved, That as a token of our increased love for Brother Watts, we present him with a copy of these resolutions, officially signed. Be it further Resolved, That in justice to his many friends, near and far, copies of these resolutions be sent to the press of our city for publication therein. INA EVERETT. Clerk. CHAS. E. EHLE.
