Every trust organized starts out with the announcement that it is not formed to advance prices, but to economize in expenses. I’hen they proceed to do exactly the op posite. An iron ore trust is under consideration, but Carnegie is of the opinion that the formation of such a trust would avail little. The condition are against it, and to make it a success Congress would have to increase the tariff. Judge Ricks, of the United States court is trying to control the Ann Arbor strike of engineers, having issued an order directing what the engineers shall do. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be. Charley Miechdi.l's best man has passed beyond, lie he bad the hard cash up for the coming, light, but was forced to leave before the battle came off. He was an English nobleman, and was sporting in this country under the name of Squire Abington. The people of Indianapolis have concluded that the G. A. K. can get along better without Indianapolis than Indianapolis can without the G. A. R. We care but little about the welfare of the above named city so far as the proposed appropriation but then we do think that our state would not be harmed by securing the National Encamppment of the G. A. R. When looking on the bright side of the question, we feel proud of modern civilization. There are features about our modern tastes, however, thut do not emmend themseves as being anything of which to be proud. When our people tolerate pugilistic carnivals, such as have taken plaec in New Orleans of late, what is there about this that places us above the ancient Romans? There does not seem to be as much exepedition in the appointment of officers under President Cleveland as very many are seeking office would like. But the average office seeker can afford to wait, esspeially as the people do not care to have in their employment those who are not qualified for public service by any other standard than that they have “worked for the party. No man has a right to kick against this country because of . its weather. If he objects to the ne'ceshity of wearing an ulster and .Gftfrying half a dozen haSftkerchiefs in Indiana, he does not have to take out a license in order to visit Florida where they are wearing straw hats and playing tennis. He has an equal show at blizzards, mountain breezes or tropical zephyrs, and he does not have to get outside the protection of the Hag to enjoy them all.

The New Yorkers persist in laughing at legislation in Kansas, yet familiarity with some of their own legislative idiosyncrasies would suggest that they are guilty of the folly of throwing stones while living in glass houses.' One of their statesmen once tried to secure the passage of a law to make the c<>nshmptioi; of cheese compulsory upon the convicts m state prison and the militia of the state. Os course, he represented a cheene-maki The Nev. York Herald after an exhaustive invest)nation of the subject, makes the .startling revelation a cargo of over 1,000 hales of rags landed at New York from Germany in December last, and certified by the consuls of the ports from which they were shipped to have been disinfected?, not a pound was thus treated, and that by a scientific analysis <tf these, they are shown to be full of cholera bacilli, yet these rags have since their arrival , been distributed all over ;he country. For the next two years at least, the Deir ocrats will have exclusive control of the government. Their futme lease of power depends,upon their covrse in these two yehrs. ;

CANNING FACTORY, To those of our readers who contemplate the building.of a canning factory and the farmer who produces the tomatoes, corn and all fruits and vegetables that are canned. The following figures will interest them, showing the benefits that may be derived therefrom, and will interest our readers in general In the year 1892 the tomato pack of Indiana was 282,117 cans. Maryland and New Jersey being the only states which led Indiana. The corn pack of Indiana was 53,552 cans, several states leading Indiana in their corn pack. The canning industry has risen to its present importance in the United States and canning wholly within the past fifty years. The beginning was made in 1848, by a Mr. Harrison W. Crosby, the steward of Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., who put up for the trade a few tomatoes in tin cans, using an ordinary iron sink for a bath, and having no other facilities than afforded by a kitchen. There are bow well-equipped factories in nearly every state in the Union, and there is scarcely a product of land or sea that is not preserved in airtight cans, which, through improvement 111 methods and machinery, the price of tomatoes has dropped from 50 cents per can, in 1848, io an average of 7 cents for the past seven years. The economic value of the industry can hardly be overestimated. With the railroad of parallel growth and the more recently invented refrigerator car the perservation of perishable products by canning is important as eliminating the factor of distance between the place of production and consumption, opening up at once the resources of the most remote parts of the country, and the markets not alone of this but of all countries

Many thousands of pensioned ex-soldiers are receiving 65 cents a day. Mr. Cleveland receives $137 a day for which he incurs no personal peril. Is it not superlative insolence and the acme of egotistic self contained, officially absorbed obesity, for him thus to flaunt before the people the implied assertion that he is more worthy than 2149 soldiers!!—Journal. Who made it possible? Was it not the republican party? Did they not increase the president’s salary by one-half? Did they not pass all pension legislation? Or is this the friendship the g. 0. p. has for the men who endangered their lives to protect the property of the rich. Did they not make it possible for a few corporation magnates, such as Chauncy M. Depew to receive the same pay the president does, $50,000 a year, while the poor laboring man gets sl.lO a day for ten long hours hard labor. Was it not the g. o. p. that paid the rich men; the men that furnished the money to carry on the war, upwards of two dollars for every fifty cents they had invested, and did they not pay the old soldiei off with a currency worth forty cents on the dollar? Did they not violate their agreement with the bondholder to pay them twice as much as they honestly paid them—and did they not violate their contract with the soldiers to pay them off with! less than one-half the paid them?/ Will the Journal please answer and explain and upon the question of the redemption of the U. S. Bonds, we refer them to the speech of the Hon. John Sherman in the last Congress, jipon the silver question. An Old Soldier. Another move in the right direction is the move to gravel the road north of town, leading down the river on the west side. There is plenty of material along the line, and plenty of hands that need the work, and no one but what wants better roads than that we have in this county. Our people are ready for the work. To those who may think their part of the assessment will be burdensome, they can easily make the same out of the work if they will take hold. Let it be crowded along so that it may be completed at an early <lay. There are now forty five Democratic United States Senators. Thirty of them come from Southern States and fifteen from Eastern, Western, New England, Pacific and Northwestern States. The new Senate is composed of forty-five •Democrats, thirty-nine Republicans and four Populists. The new House of Representatives, when organized, will consist of 213 Democrats. 131 Republicans, and 12 Populists, the latter all hailing from Western States. o At the late election '126 Congressmen were chosen in Southern States; of these, I2G were Deniocrats and 6 Republicans.
