Among our farmers the interest in a county fair is booming. Every wide-awake state.in the Union is considering the road question. Do you want a rest? If you do give us a Fair and we will quit talking. The State of Indiana, by its representatives stood up last Monday and was counted for Grover. E “Self praise is half scandal,” is an old saying that ne remodeling. Half (the word han) should be left out. If pork continues to rise, it will I soon be on the same footing with beef the day the “cow jumped over the moon.” ■—— 2 — Many of the prominent citizens of Ft. Wayne are asking the Allen I County Commissionere to employ a night watchman to guard their Court House. They fear it may be burned, destroying all the County records. The question of how our City shall be lighted has gone the rounds and now our people have time to think what is best, and will see that the Council does what is best. Give the people a chance and you will find them right every time. We can not expect something for nothing. Improvements cost and '* we may expect to pay for everything we get in that line. The city improvements must be continued but we cannot afford to over-reach our ability. Some of our farmers are awake and ready to have a county fair. You will notice the article from one of them in Blue Creek township. He says have one at Monroe. We are willing to do as the majority says. Give Adams county a fair. By the Cincinnati Enquirer we see that the P. M. of Celina, Ohio, is hunting for a baby. Now if he and his other half will come over here, and keep away from our P. M. and he that was P. M. (in his mind befere the election), we will assure him that they can go home satisfied. Benjamin Butler, another of the old soldiers possed away last Wednesday morning of heart fail- . nre. He was well known as a soldier and statesman. Il is death was sudden; he was not known to be sick until a few tnonu.,t before he died. -■ .. A number of our farmers have indicated to us that they are ready to take stock in a fair association. The time is at hand when there should be a meeting called for the purpose of talking the matter over and arranging some committees to get ready for work. g Instead of complimenting ourselves upon the intelligence we ; ■ posses, we should be content in allowing other people to talk of our I g° o< i qualities. Our good opinion » of ourselves are frequently nothing but vain fancies and if we are per- ■ mitted to see ourselves as others • see us we might thereby be unloaded | of a great deal of self-esteem. „ & Our city schools are becoming • crowded again. Sixty pupils, are i too many for one teacher toR handle successfully. Thirty-five or 1. ’ forty should be the limited number in any one room. If parents at |bhome fail to govern successfully three or four children, how can '■ they expect a teacher to control Ktixty without f ven a rupture ora break in harmony?

Next Monday David Turpie will be elected to the United States Senate to succeed himself. Senator Turpie is a man whose personal worth and legislative ability in the United States Senate is a great value to the country and the Democracy of Indiana does herself proud to be able to return so worthy a statesman as David lurpie. The valedictary and the salutatory of the Journal of last week bear the ear marks of him who “had come to stay,” of him who “opened the books,” of him who said all the Democratic treasurers of Adams county were defaulters to the amount of 110,000,” of him who was ready to revolutionize Adams county, who saw our county commissioners headed for the pen, he who saw a bad man in every one that differed with him, h& never done an act during his stay here that lead to the betterment of society, he who would rather publish a falsehood, than the truth. The ear marks are plain. We do not want to be selfish but instead of feeling so deeply interested in Frances’ troubles, we should look about us and see if we cannot become interested in something nearer home. We have all the “room in the world” for improvements of all kinds. There is nothing that speaks so well of a community or a neighborhood as a wide-awake, intelligent class of people. Intelligence adds to the wealth and power of a state more than gold itself. Show us an ignorant community and we will show you a weak one. On tbe other hand, show us an intelligent class of people, and we will show you a neighborhood that is respected and one noted for its strength. People of Adams county, what are we doing that will make life easier for our children, or what are we doing that will show to the rising generation that we are sterling men of worth? Are we remodeling our common school system, laying the foundation of any charitable institution, discussing any question that would interest the public, or even contemplating holding a county fair? While these cold north winds whistle through the boughs of the trees or around the corner of our houses, do theychill our life’s blood as it courses through our veins? Have all interests in public institutions died out, and have we become dormant and our energies latent? People of Adams county wake up and impress th’e rising generation with the thought that you inhabited this county before they were born by some other method than having epitaphs written on your tombstone.

A Pleasant Time. At the residence of George W. . Calderwood, m Bluecreek township :on the 28 th of December, George W. and Sarah Calderwood celebrated their fifty-sixth anniversary of ■weded life. They were married in Dark County Ohio. Mrs. Calderwood’s maiden name being Sarah Clark. They have resided in Adams County on the same farm ever since 1854. A family of nine children, —six boys and three girls, have been born to them, all of whom are living but two boys, who ; have died since manhood. The :rest of the family including many grand children and other friends were present on this happy occasion. .Anjong those from abroad were Mrs. Judge Calderwood and May ■J. Williamson, of Greenville, Ohio, and Mrs. Margaret Johns, of Dayton, with a number of neighbors. But few people live to the age they have attained, and have endured the hardships of pioneer life as they have. Few in the County ' are better known than “Wash.” ; Calderwood', as he is generally ! called, and nonewill greet you more •cordially. I Did you say Whitelaw? Who’s f Ifie? Oh yes, he was mentioned Home 1 time since in connection us th a man :named Harrison. » “Calico Chari,ky” tho financial i,j u ßgler, would be a good drawing -«sard for a dime museum.

THE INA UG URAL MESS A GE The inaugural address of Governor Matthews will impress the reader as an eminently conservative paper. If it errs at all it errs on the side of conservatism, and this is not always to be condemned. There are always in action two opposing forces, the conservative and the progressive. Both are necessary. Both have their functions in all the doings of mankind. It is not well to progress too fast; it is not well to hold back too strongly. The sphere of conservatism is “Be sure you are right;” the sphere of progress “then go ahead.” We applaud the conservatism of Governor Matthews as applied to the tax law and the election law. They are great remedial measures which as yet have hardly bad full and fair trial, certainly not such trial as should be had before any decision to make any .radical changes in them is reached. There is some complaint as to somu features, but the general verdict has been one of approval. In the life of a etale a few years more or less consumed in the trial of any system is not material. What is wanted is to know what is good and keep it; to know what is bad and reject it- As to those laws we agree fully that there should be no changes except in those points as to which it can be certainly said we are now wrong. Indeed we wish he had gone further, and included with these .the state board of charities law and tbe Indianapolis charter law, for these also aie clearly two laws that “have done much to crown our state with the glory of placing it in the foremost rank of leadership in the adoption of great reform measures.”

The Sentinel must differ with the Governor as to the necessity for a constitutional convention. Without doubt it has been of great benefit during the greater part of the forty years of its existence. But during the last four years a reckless supreme court has shown that its provisions are too indefinite for present needs, by breaking over at three separate points the bounds theretofore believed to have been plainly fixed. Indeed, Governor Matthews pointedly calls attention to one of these (the apportionment decision) as follows: The people view with great jealousy any attempt made by the courts a province so peculiarly within the scope of legislative action. The manner or mode of apporionment in Indiana is not new; it has been the same under all administrations, and after the usage of a half a century, the legislation of our state ought not to be imperiled or disturbed by an alleged judicial construction, novel and unprecedented, whereby the judiciary branch of the government may virtually control the right of representation and deprive tbe representatives of the people of their constitutional authority. This right and power conceded, the next step might be the absorption of the prerogatives or functions of the executive, and in this way the rights of all departments of the state government pass into the control of the courts. However wrong this encroachment may be, in tbe opinion of any man, it is one that has been made. Even if the new court should overthrow the decision tbe fact remains that tbe decision was made, and that it has some show of support in decisions of other states. What has been done once may be done again, and therin lies the daniier of leaving an unsettled question oi constitutioiul power. In the very nature of constitutional government there can be nothing more demoralizing than uncertainty 'in the constitution. It is intended to bounds, but changeable bounds a**e no bounds. It should be clear, definite and incapable of evasion. It should then be held sacred. The present constitution is not so constructed, and it has not been so held. For these reasons we believe it needs revision and we believe the ■ p majority of the people think so. There is fear in some* quarters that tbe times are 100 loose for safety in such work. We do not share such fears. We believe that there still existH sufficient wisdom and sufficient virtue in Indiana to frame a constitution at once wise, just, and adapted to existing conditions. • « The recommendations of the Governor as to roads meet our concurrence, except as to this point: There sfiould be enacted- no law that will add to the burdens of this , ftx, nor the inanagemeut removed so far frfim the peopk: as lo deprive them of the right to “work out/’ as it is termed, the tax so collected, if this is desired. There should not be, in our opin-

’ ion, any addition to “the burdens of this tax,” but if the tax collected is to be “wisely expended and properly applied,” as elsewhere recommended, the system of “working out takes” must be abandoned. It there is any point at which money supposed to be raised for making roads is wasted and frittered away it is this point. As applied in practice the system is a farce, and always will be. We believe that the men and teams in each locality should be given preference in the work, and, indeed, there is no probability that they would not receive it, but there should be an application of the principle of “a day’s work for a fair day’s wages” in road-making. Until that is done the roads will not improve faster than they have been improving, and we do not see the slightest room for hope that it will be done under the “working out” system. The remainder of the Governor's recommendations we consider judicious and deserving the careful consideration of the legislature. Certainly the state school tax ought to be reduced 5 cents, and provision ought to be made for the gradual payment of the state debt. “Paid up stock” in building associations should be made taxable, if it be not so already, and there should be some law for,the supervision of the workings of these associations. There is evidence to show that some of them have, as the Governor says, “drifted into the banking and brokerage institutions and lenders of money upon a large and dangerous scale.” These associations are equivalent to savings banfcs, and their interests are already so extensive that any insecurity to them would cause inestimable damage. Tbe recommendation that Indiana extend a fitting welcome to tbe Grand Army is proper. The state is not in so poverished a condition that it need be lacking in the hospitality befitting a great commonwealth. We commend especially ibe Governor’s firm and definite stand as to the purpose of the soldiers’ monument, and trust that tbe legislature may stand shoulder to shoulder with him on that subject. It will be made a factor in politics, but the people will sustain the position taken. Tbe suggestions in regard to “White caps” are praiseworthy, and indicate, we trust, that Governor Matthews will be more active in the suppession of these lawless organizations than some previous executives have been. In conclusion we would commend the message for its bravery. It covers a great deal of ground, but has been condensed within reasonable space. It has an air of business that gives promise of a good administration, and that is what the people want. We congratulate Governor Matthews on his favorable entry to his new office, and wish him all success m the performance of its duties.— lndianapolis Sentinel.
