The supreme court will hand down a decision tomorrow morning on the legality of the new law, re fating to the election of county superintendents. The city campaign at Indianapolis is now being shaped up for political action. The Hon. Tom Taggart will be nominated for mayor, and elected too. The New York World has figured out the six wealthiest men in the w orld, and names them as follows: Li Hung Chang, whose valuations aggregate 9500,000,000; John D. Rockefeller. *180,000,000; tin- D ike of Westminster, 9100,000,00 o; Colonel North, *100,000,000; C irnelius Vanderbilt, 8100,000,000; Wah Ina, 8100,000,000. It has further been discovered that Howard Peitzel, one of the many Holmes victims, was murdered m Indianapolis, and the charred bones of tiie boy has been unearted in the housewhere Holmes lived while residing there. 'lhe chain of evidence in this case en tirely lays in the shade any efforts in this line made by one “Jack the Ripper.” Bushnell, the republican can didate for governor in Ohio, has increased the wages of 400 of his employees ten per cent. This will be quite a boom in his candidacy, but it's a little hard on McKinley, who has declared all along that prosperity could only come by taxing the many for the benefit of the few. By this increase in wages he tells the world at large that the| Wilson bill is the right thing, at the right time, in the right place. Three great promises made to the American people in 1892 have been more nearlj- fulfilled and carried more mearly into execution than any three promises ever made by any party in any platform. What were they? They were summed up by Samuel J. Tilden, fortj’ years ago, as home rule, sound money, and free trade as nearly as governmental requirements permit; and under the very shadow of the disaster brought on this country by the republican laws against which we protested and whose repeal we demanded—the force bill, the McKinley bill and the Sherman bill—these promises were fulfilled. The democratic party re pealed and wiped from the statute books the force bill and gave home rule to this country as far as your national legislature had anything to do with the question, and next repealed, unconditionally, the Sher man silver law, and thereby pre vented the absolute bankruptcy of the United States treasury, which was imminent. There is no human being whose judgment is entitled to the slightest weight who does not know that the gravity of the situation and the imminence of the peril was averted by the repeal of the Sherman law.

Judging from the slim audience that greeted the Hon. W. I). Bynum at the court room last evening we are led to beleive that the num ber of people who are deeply interested in the money agitation, are few. Less than three hundred people were present to hear the burst of eloquence on money. But Mr. Bynum seems to be about the nicest kind of a “gold bug” that we know of. He favors gold, silver and paper currency, and insists that oue is as valuable as the other in the transaction of commercial business. Os course any one knows this to be true. Many, however, will differ with him about the inflation of the two metals should the free and unlimited coinage of silver be made a law. We beleive with Mr. Bynum that the country at the present time don’t want any agitation upon the money question. Prosperity is returning to our people after the disasters of the 1893 republican panic, and the business men of the country don’t care about taking chances of inflicting another seige of uncertainties and perhaps disaster and ruin in the business markets of this country. If Mr. Bynum could make a law whereby Wall Street could not virtually own the United States treasury, and within twenty-four hours drain every speck of gold out of its mas sive vaults, causing thereby an issue of bonds to replenish same, then the people all over this country would rise up to do him honor. But we don’t expect he’ll do that.

Britain and Bimetallism. At the late general election bimetallism was brought very prominency to the front. During the winter a large number of earnest bimetallists volunteered their services to press the monetary question | upon candidates for parliament and a good deal of useful work was done by them, for which the league is duly grateful. In Lancashire and the textile districts of Yorkshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire, the , question was warmly taken tip as a bread-and-butter question to wage earners, with the result that but few of the represents- i ’ tivea of ninety-five constituencies had the hardihood to declare themselves opposed 1 to the principles advocated by the bimet- i ' allists. In these districts large posters appeared on the walls, calling on all wage- 1 ! earners to protest against a monetary system which is enriching the creditor classes at the expense of the wage-earners engaged in productive industries, and so little did Sir William Harcourt’s and Mr. Shaw-Le-fevre’s doctrine of the unmitigated bless- 1 ings of “cheapness'’ appeal to the working classes, that these posters were numerously | signed by the most representative labor' leaders of those districts. In the west of England, too, where a . great impression had already been made upon the electorate by the hard work which had been done throughout the winter by the Bristol committee, although they had not the solid support of the workingmen’s vote to work with, as was the case in the textile districts, still they were able to show a very large balance of ! members of parliament favorable to the consideration of the currency question at an international conference. A feeling of antagonism to the economic opinions held by Sir William Harcourt at Derby, and by Mr. Shaw-Lefevre at Bradford, was very largely responsible for the result of the elections at those two places; indeed, Mr Shaw-Lefevre has not hesitated to admit that the hostility of liberal bimetallists, on account of his attitude on the question, was sufficient in itself to account for his defeat at Bradford. In Scotland a large number of candidates had the subject pressed upon them, and willing hands were found to distribute an immense amount of literature throughout the country. From the demand for pamphlets which has since arisen, it would appear that interest in the subject there has become greatly intensified. From the London elections office, questions were addressed on the subject of the currency to all candidates for parliament, and numerous (and in a majority of cases most satisfactory) replies were received. In addition to this work masses of leaflets and pamphlets were dispatched for distribution in every part of the kingdom. Especial gratitude is due to very many of the labor organizations, whose invaluable help has been most freely given. The general result of the election may be summed up by saying that in the present bouse es commons there will be a much larger number of members pledged to-eup-port an attempt to secure a settlement of the currency question on international lines than there was in the last house; while the cabinet contains a large number I of statesmen who are in sympathy with the objects of international bimetallism, and who will gladly promote it when the occasion is ripe. It is true that some vot' erans have gone down in the late electoral campaign, but as in most cases (though not all) they have been defeated by candidates who boasted that they were as keen —if not keener—champions of monetarv reform, the league (though it will miss the exjierience and energy of these old friends in parliament) is assured of their valuable co-operation in tie country. Another important point which was brought out by the general election was the fact that—even in districts where little or nothing had previously been heard of bimetallism—the case when plainly put (especially with regard to the wages point , of view) seemed at once to rivet attention and to command approval. It is not proposed here, for many reasons, to go into particulars, but it may be stated as the result of experience, for the benefit of those whose fortune it is to work on apparently unproductive soil, that the bread cast up!on the waters is sure to return again, and now that public attention has been aroused what remains to be done is to follow up the effect which has been produced by a l>ersisteut and widespread system of p pular education on the monetary question.— London Bimetallist.

The Indianapolis News, a repub lican paper, says: More American wool is being sold to-day than three years ago under the McKinley: tariff. When the sales of foreign i wool in the Boston market were only 440,000 pounds, there were) sold only 1,840,000 pounds of American wool. But when the foreign sales advanced to 3,884,0001 pounds, the sales of our own prod- : uct reached the enormous total of I 7,377,000 pounds. This is a fulfillment of the prophecy of the tariff reformers. They have always argued that free wool would increase the demand for the homegrown article and advance its price, wool being an exception to the general rule as to the effect of I tariff on prices. The Boston Journal says that Mrs. Cleveland is an ideal house keeper, which fact will most surely be heartily appreciated by womankind in general.

Oh, for an ax. Candidate Campbell explains himself by saying: “I did j not favor free coinage by the United States alone four years ago! nor do T now, although I am an international bimetallist. What 1 said four years ago was that I would take chances of election upou the platform as I found it.” Legal Advertising.
