Tin: IMu HT.it ie Editorial Association was in sessional the Hendrick club rooms nt Indianapolis last Thursday. It was a business meeting purely. The attendance was much larger than usual, and it is quite evident that such an association will long thrive, and do much good in the profession which they have chosen. The mid sum mer meeting will beheld sometime the latter part of July. Editor F. D. Heiinbaugh, of the Muncie Herald, is now president of the assiH'iation. The republican state committee has de id-d to attack the 1885 leg islative law. provided that Gov- ’ ernor Matthews again refuses to call a spi cial session of the legisla ture, the purpose of which would be the passing of a new law. The governor has already determined the extra session craze by a prompt and Hat denial, so we presume that an attack on the apportionment law-, dating hack to the constitution will now liegin. This decision comes with bad grace on the part of the republicans, and they will regret such an unjust and improper act. By accepting the terms ottered by the democratic state com mitteethey were offered everything that was just, fair or right. The Pearl Bryan murder was the m»t shocking piece of human butchery known since the annals of time i<self. It frequently occurs that people are brutally murdered,, but to cm one's head off and cany it ar-mnd in an old valise like so much linen, is too shockingly fiend-' ish to dwell upon. From all the circumstances and facts known it is quite e\ ident that Jackson and Wailing are jointly responsible for the sad fate ot the poor Greencastle girl. They no doubt will hangas the perpetrators of the offense ami they w n't b much time consumed in the finding of such a verdict by the court. The headless body has been tal.ea to her parents at Greencastle ami by them properly in- 1 terred. The commissioners in special' se.s-io.i tl is -n ek were somew hat critici-<d by our enthusiastic southern neighbors who are earnest in their demands for an electric railway rom Celina to Rochester, the proposed route being through Jef!'-ison, Wabash and Hartford townships. According to law a franchi* is a grantee of privilege as well iLlit to pass over a certain promised route. The petition ami franchise submitted didn’t contain any particular specified Conditions or terms regulating the operation of the road after being built. County’ Attorney Erwin did his duty in seeing that nothing was ami's in the franchise that might later imp< se any hardships to the people who live along and expect to enjoy the benefits of such a road. G'-m-iaites who attended the svssi us of the commissioner’s court received the idea that the commissioners, or some of them, as well as many pisiple in Decatur, were doing their utmost to defeat the project. This may be true in a few instances but not many. Decatur people as a rule are not so narrow minded or selfish. They think as »<» do. that if the three townships mentioned and Geneva want the road they are entitled to it, deserve it and will lie glad to see them get it. Few people here think that a line will sometime be built from this one to Wayne, and in that event Decatur would suffer. That is al! bosh. There is no one going to Wayne to do a little shopping. It’s the big buyers that hurt ns, and they dothat now and have been for years. They have the cash ami the time, so an electric line would be no advantage to them. However some time the people of Geneva will thank our conservative commissioners and county attor ley for giving them a franchise t hat is iron clad and all right. The citizens of Geneva are in need <>f an east and west line and are now living in hopes.

I THE STANDARD. In discussing the money question mention is frequently made of the standard of values, stand nrd money, standard gold coin, standard silver dollars, standard I gold, standard silver, the single I gold standard, the single silver standard. The standard or unit of value is the unit of the currency of the country in wi.ich all debts, tines, judgments and taxes are payable and ill which the price of all comnidilities tire quoted and I which is the basis and foundation • upon and from which the money . of the country is reckoned and in I which values tire computed of all r commodities offered for sale or : exchange. Our standard or unit < of value the dollar of ultimate reI demption originally was the silver | dollar but at the present time is i the gold dollar although the coin I age of the gold dollar was suspend edin 18!»o, it is the tenth part of no eagle, the fifth of a half eagle and two-fitths of tne quarter eagle. Standard gold is metal, nine parts i of which is pure gobi, one part . alloy; the alloy to Is-of silver and ■ copper not to exceed one-half silver undone-tenth copper. Standard silver is metal, nine tenths of which is pun* silver and one-tenth copper. Standard gold and standard silver refer to the quality of the metals which the law permits to be coined at our mints. The purpose and necessity for using alloy is to toughen the coins and make them more durable. The standard silver 'dollar consists of 112} grains of standard silver minted and stamped as required by law, many of which ’are now in circulation. The stand ard silver dollar is no longer the standard of values because it is not the dollar of final redemption nor is it a full legal tender. Because the law permits parties to contract against its use. Standard gold coins are the eagle, the half eagle and the quarter eagle. The eagle contains 258 grains of standard ! gold, the half eagle 129 grains and quarter eagle fill grains, and that for all sums whatever, the eagle is . a legal tender for the payment of ‘ ten dollars. The eagle then con- ; tains ten units or ten dollars, one of which is the tenth part of the . eagle and is equal to 25 8-10 grains , of standard gold which has lie- • come the standard and measures of values. Any person be he citizen or alien may bring to the United States mint, gold of the standard . required for coinage and have it ' coined into United States gold coins i without charge for mintage, but the amount presented may Im* refused if it is not equal to one hundred dollars. Double standard J means standard coin from either ] metals with the option to pay in , either, neither of which can lie refused under any circumstances whatever, that we had up to 1873.1 A single standard means, that 1 standard money can only be minted ' from one of the metals. Single 1 gold standard means that only gold coin of the standard fixed by law : may lie coined free of charge to the person bringing it to the mint, that only gold coin of standard weight and fineness is money of final re- ' demption and is a full legal fender for all purposes and for all amounts; that is what we have 1 now. S ngle silver standard means that only silver coins of the B’and- ' ar i weights and fineness would lie ! coined and used as full and final redemption money. THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY IN EXECUTIVE AND INFORMAL SESSIONS SATURDAY. The Adams county democratic central committee was in session last Saturday afternoon, the object of the meeting be ng to make final and definite arrangements for the primary nominating election which is due the 28th. With the exception of two members a full commiti tee was present. After some disII mission Union township was given 1 one voting precinct, Root one, Preble two, Kirkland one, Washing ton one, St. Marys two, Blue Creek one, Monroe two, French one, Hartford tw<>, Wabash two, Jefferson '|one, Decatur three, making a total of twenty voting precincts. The ‘ primary will be held under the i Australian system with its precinct •boards composed of a sheriff', two ' judges and two clerks. After some ‘ I other preliminary ajustments rela ‘ tive to the compensation of the 1 various boards, and other matters . I of importance on this day, the com • inittee went into executive session, at which time the assessment of candidates was settled. For the ' accommodation of our southern ' brethren the canvassing board will ' meet at Berne on Saturday the 29th ' The meeting was well attended ' and an enthusiastic display of democracy was eminent. The democratic state committee meets the 20th to name the date for holding the state convention. ' The date will probably be set for the last week in June.

February g*. iwo. The Rev. Henry M. Conden of Michigan, the blind chaplain of the houae of representatives, is j causing a g<Msl deal of criticism • among the members of both sides because of his somewhat sensational prayers, and the committee on rules has determined to dicipline him, or, as one gentleman expressed | it, “cjill him down.” This very estimable gentleman shows great , interest in public affairs, and takes , the trouble daily to inform theCre- I ator of his views on pending ques- ; tions. Whenever there is a special ‘ order of business oefore the house ? he addresses the Almighty directly < upon that subject, and when there i is nothing particular on the docket • he takes his theme from the most * interesting items in the morning r newspapers, so that in all respects h the religious feature of the house’ procetslings are up to date. He has! prayed with gnat fervor for thek enforcement of the Monroe doctrineh and the rwognition of the revolu-t tinnary patriots in Cuba. In theL latter case he awoke hearty ap-K phiuse. It was the first time that an invocation of the divine power 1, was ever greeted with cheers in the J congress of the United Slates. He has prayed for the bond bill, the ‘ revenue bill, for a protective tariff I ami for the rules of the house, ami t some of his petitions have been so partisan that one of the leaders on i the democratic side threatens to interrupt him on a point of order if he ever goes so far again; but the republican members are quite as much annoyed by the interest their parson is showingin temporal affairs and will not wait for any dicipline from the opposition, There was no mistaking the toneof President < ’levelaml's Vene zuela message or the spirit of enthusiastic approval with which it was received by the people. Since that time then* has arisen a diver gence of opinion; some of it perhaps due to an honest expression of opinion, and more to the supposed suggestions of political shrewdness. The Davis resolution had its origon in the latter cause and some of the most notable utterances while the Armenien resolution was under discussion were prompted by a desire to criticise the administration.
