Factional tights among the New York republicans places that state in the democratic columns in W. W. Wea\ er hits purchased the Ridgeville News of Oscar A. White, who for three years past has been its successful editor and manager. The republican presidential wire workers are gradually freezing out the presidential aspirations of one Benjamin Harrison. McKinley now has the lead. Calvin S. Brice writes a Grover Cleveland letter to the Ohio democracy against the free silver agitation. We wonder what position he holds under the government. Steve O'Donnell did up Jake Kilrain in a twenty-one round fight, at the Coney Island club house. Monday evening. Seven thousand spectators witnessed the bout. Reports say that small pox has been discovered at Valparaiso, and that several college students have been exposed to the disease. Seems to us that the contagion is near enough home. Editor Sherwood of the Delphi Times, has resigned the office of postmaster in order to devote his entire time to his editorial work work and business. His successor has been appointed. Governor Matthews denies the published rumor that he intended calling an extra session of the legislature to adjust the fee and salary law, which seems somewhat defective in relation to county auditors and treasurers. The Chicago News sent a reporter here yesterday to see those world famous triplets, kodak them and interview their industrious papa and mamma. The result of this trip will be a two column illustrated article in the News of Sunday. Subscribe now. The Enquirer has been investigating the business outlook in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, and reports everything bright and prosperous. A confidence seems to be spreading to the effect that the most prosperous times the country ever knew are now in sight. At last President Cleveland will give us a democratic civil service commissioner, much to the gratification of the democracy all over the country. Heretofore this commission has been controlled by republicans, and they have done well in keeping republicans in office and democrats out. It took the president a good long time to tumble to the change, but it came at last. Washington gossip* unveils the fact that John G. Shanklin of this state, would have succeeded to the Havana consulship had not he ventured such decisive opinions rc garding his views favoring silver. The position is worth $12,000 a year. Whether or not there is any truth concealed about such rumors we know not, but republish it for what it is worth. It is said that the populists in this state are organizing silverclubs instead of populist clubs. Their object is to agitate the silver question and perchance unite with the free silver wing of the democratic party. They say that they care not what head they win under, so they win. They are busily engaged in the disrtibution of Coin’s financial school and other literature pertaining to free coinage. Elections were held in all the towns of Indiana Monday, and the returns show a general activity among the democrats. It means that they are neither dead nor sleeping, and are rapidly recovering from a temporary delusion that their party is responsible for the republican financial panic of 1893, and which has been hovering over the country ever since. Business has revived under the new tariff law, and things seem to be marching toward prosperity. The contemptuoas recOM of the late lamented legislature has had something to do in this democratic revival. It is safe to predict that democracy in Indiana is getting ready to redeem their misguided effort last year, bv a triumphant victory at the polls in 1896.

The attorney general is beginning to wage a war on the railroad, telegraph, telephone and express companies who have failed to pay their taxes as due according to the new tax law. The free silver democrats of Chi cago held their convention last Saturday, and while every delegate seat was occupied, and the hall comfortably crowded, yet there wasn't quite the outburst of enthusiasm that one might expect. Able addresses were presented. President Cleveland's policy was criticised and a platform adopted that plainly pointed out their intended course relative to monetary affairs. Deputy Secretary of State Wright, who has flooded the press with learned opinions upon the constitutionality of the Holler law for the protection of fish 'n the lakes of the state, and who has defied the opposing opinion of the attorney general, and who has announced for Mr. Owen that the law will not l»e printed with the other laws, the supreme court to the contrary notwithstanding, and who has done all this with an eye to his own personal pleasure—this same Deputy Wright is now visiting the Indiana lakes with numerous rods and elaborate fishing tackle. Mr. Wright is an ardent fisherman, and so fond is he of the Waltonian sport that he defies the supreme court, attorney general and the legi islature of Indiana. Mr. Wright expects to remain at the lakes fishing for some time.—Sentinel. At present writing there is no law governing the fees and salary of county treasurers, nor will there be any until the new laws are printed, and that will be several weeks yet at the closest proximation. The attorney general in answer for his legal construction of the law on the subject, replied: ••First: There can be no salary under the act of 1891 because of the unconstitutionality of that act. “Second: There can be no salary under the act of 1879, nor is the treasurer entitled to percentage upon collections, whether current or delinquent, because that law has been repealed. “Third: That they are entitled to mileage as provided by the act of 1879 because that is sonsistent | with the valid portions of the act of 1891. “Fourth: The only fees and allowance provided by the act of 1891 ‘ is a charge of twenty-five cents on : \ collections of delinquent taxes where levy is made and also the same fee and charge is allowed by law to constables for making levy and sale of personal property on execution and expenses of taking care of the property levied on. “Other than this,” continues the attorney general, “I can find no war rant in that opinion for any charges by the treasurer. This compensation, of course, is wholly inadequate, but the general assembly is the exclusive judge of what shall constitute adequate compensation, and relief must be sought from it rather than from you or thecourts.” President Cleveland is responsible for another letter, in which he again emphasizes his : views upon what constitutes a safe, 1 sound and staple currency. He alludes to free coinage as a phantom, something thedemocrats should not rush after. He winds up by sayin : “If we, who profess fealty to the democratic party, are sincere in our devotion to its principles, and if we aie right in believing that the ascendency of those prinI ciples is a guarantee of personal liberty, universal care for the rights of all, Don-sectional American brotherhood and manly trust in American citizenship in anj- part of our land, we should study the effects upon our party and conse quently upon our country of a committal of the national democracy to this silver aberration. If they are democrats that suppose that our party can stand on a platform em bodying such doctrine, either through its affirmative strength or through the perplexity of our op ponents on the same proposition, or if there are democrats who are willing to turn their backs upon their party associations in the hope that free and unlimited and independent coinage of silver can win a victory without the aid of either party organization, they should deceive themselves no longer, nor longer refuse to look in the face the results that will follow the defeat, if not the disintegration of the democratic party upon the issue which tempts them from their allegiance. If we should be forced away from our traditional doctrine of sound and safe money our old antagonist will taka the field on the platform which we abandon; and and neither the votes of reckless democrats nor reckless republicans will avail to stay their easy match to power. This is as plain as anyi thing can possibly be.”
