Allan J aqua, an employee of the pension department at Washington, died last week and was buried at his old home at Union City. Prison authorities must furnish clothing to discharged convicts, so says the attorney general, although the last legislature didn’t know enough to provide for it. Labor day, which occurs in the calendar of time about September 2, will be profusely celebrated thre ighout Indiana. Indianapolis labor organizations are already preparing for the feast. Louis C. Nelson, president of the St. Louis National Bank, is an advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. Now then, say that bankers want to speculate on your tifty-cent dollars. Shortly after Mr. Harrison’s defeat he stated that it was the hard times that beat him. But pome of the republican papers are trying to make it appear that we had no hard times untill after Mr. Cleveland’s election.—Peoria Herald.

The Press is the newsiest, brightest and best newspaper in the county, a fact even some of our contemporaries realize and appreciate by weekly advertising us to the public. But if you want all the news, all the time, we are the people. Now is the time to subscribe. The Indianapolis Sentinel is convinced that its own particular brand of ‘‘international” bimetallism is the only simon-pure article- Will the Sentinel say openly that a double gold and silver standard isn’t bimetallism if it lacks the indorsement of Lombard and Wall streets ? The Rural Press, a monthly journal which devotes itself ex clusively to the country publisher, has emerged npon the journalistic sea. It is handsomely printed and contains many points of interest to the country publisher. A. S. Roberts is the editor, and a good one he is, too. Councilman McLaughlin of Portland was attacked by Night Policeman Bliss one night last week, and now the former wears a sore head. The latter received a roast ing from the former at a council meeting, and this was the ns?tinee afterwards. Portland is a bad town. The countj’ commissioners de- j serve congratulations for their wis : dom, displayed in the appoint meat of Irvin Brandyberry as auditor, who will hold such official. trust until the next general elec- - tipn, at which his successor, will be elected. The feppointmect 1 pleased all the friends of the de-' ceased auditor, as well as many ; others. Auditor Brandyberry | knows the auditor’s office from top to bottom and. in consequence, will make a very creditable official. Clearings for the first time in three years are now larger than in 1892. In other words, the aggre gate of business is now greater than at any previous time. The com crop, the most important in the country, promises, according to the last week’s government crops, re port, to be the largest on record. Speculative activity is manifestly less. Stocks lost in price though not much. Cotton went up then down. Prophecies of higher prices have almost ceased. The tide of general traffic is as large as ever, and gathers in volume, but there is a disposition to hesitate over the speculative future.—Philadelphia Press (rep.)

It may be necessary to make some changes in the ratio between gold and silver as it has been found necessary in our past history, but no approximately correct adjustment of the two metals can be made until silver is first restored to the freedom of the mints enjoyed by gold. All the privileges now accorded gold, and which both : metals enjoyed prior to the act of 1873. must be restored to silver before anybody can know what change, if any, maybe necessary in the ratio. Therefore the first step is to repeal the law of 1873 and re- j enact the coinage laws in force when that law was substituted for them.—Evansville Courier.

James W. French, for many years warden of the prison noith, has been appointed by AttorneyGeneral Harmon as warden of the United States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kas. The appointment is a splendid one. Mr. French’s record as warden of the prison north in this state is an enviable one and his removal from his position was due solely to politics. He is well known as a prison reformer and will enter upon his new work with a fund of information and experience. Heretofore United States prisoners have been kept in state prisons, but this order of things has been changed. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, tells a good story about a farmer and a banker who were discussing the silver question in a railroad tiain and everybody became interested. The banker said that under free coinage the bankers would buy silver at fifty cents and get it made into dollars worth one hundred cents. The farmer rose up and asked if there was anyone in the car who would sell his silver for fifty cents if he could get it coined into a dollar worth one hundred cents free of expense. A thin, pale boy with a squeaky’ voice rose and said he would. The farmer went back to him and was going to talk to him when his aunt said; “Don’t pay any attention to him. He is an idiot and I am taking him to the imbecile asylum.—South Bend Times.
