Greencastle people are having trouble over their telephone service. Make a kick in the papers. That will bring them to time.—Crairfordxcille Herald. The trouble, neighbor, is that we as yet have no service. The local company secured a franchise by which a plant was to be built and in operation by July 1895. July 1, August 1 and September 1 came, and now October 1 is here and no telephone service. A system has been built, lines are up, switch board in, telephones in but no service. There has been a half way sort of service for which no charge has been made, for the reason, it is said, that there is a hitch between the construction company and the local company. In the meantime the public is getting the worst of it and getting downright tired of the delay. If the matter isn’t righted by next council meeting the city authorities should take a hand. Other Indiana cities have successful exchanges and so should Green castle. Our citizens are, right n >w, entitled to a good service with a day and night operator and they

l have neither.

There: is considerable opinion forming in Putnam county that the poor farm management has not been improved by the recent change in superintendents. Under George Sboptaugh’s management the farm was run without friction, and we fail to remember of any grand jury

returning a report that said :

We find some evidence tending to show that the present manager or superintendent has in the past unnecessarily used more or less profane language in the presence of the inmates of sain institution, and has in some instances according to our information resorted to harsh means in the enforcement of certain rules adopted by him for the management of the inmates of said infirmary. We further have information that the manager has in the past, upon certain occasions, shown evidence of the use to excess

of alcoholic stimulants.

The late grand jury raturned the above report about the present manager and now some of the people of the county are asking them-

are we benefited by the re-

tirement of George Shoptaugh and the substitution of the favorite relative of one of the county commissioners? It seems that the change

has not resulted in any good.

Washington, Oct. 1. 1895. The democraMc cackling over the September treasury statement is about as silly a thing as a lot of grown men could be guilty of, when considered in connection with the actual facts, known to all those who are conversant with the situation, ami easily accessible to everybody. During the mouth of Sept, the receipts of the government were slightly in excess of the expenditures, but that does not mean, as some informed democrats are saying, that the receipts of the government have grown to be as large ns its expenditures.. N ot at all. The explanation, instead of being favorable to the administration, is decidedly the contrary. The heaviest payments of the government are made early in the quarters beginning July 1, Oct. 1. January 1 and April 1, consequently the smallest expenditures are for the last months of the quarters— June, September, December and March. This is so to a large extent under all administrations, but it bus been particularly so under the present, because of the system of withholding payments during the last half of the quarters for the purpose of misleading the country as to the state of the public finances, which has been such a marked feature of the Cleveland regime. Last April the receipts, under this system, exceeded the expenditures. It was the saute in June, the excess for that month being about 12,000,000 more than for September, and it will doubtless lie tnc same for December hut all the while that annual deficit has been steadily climbing, and it will continue to climb until the republican congress takes hold and passes the legislation necessary to increase the revenues of the government, through a revision of the democratic tariff law, which democratic treasury officials openly acknowledge will never provide all the money needed to rut! the government. When you wish to know the actual condition of the U. S. treasury do not take the figures specially juggled for any single month, but take them for an entire year. For instance, on Aug. 31, last, the democratic tariff law had been in effect for one year. What showing was made during that year? Here are the figures made by democratic officials : The total receipts were $295,(Hi 1,022, and the total expenditures $359,026,332. Now a very simple example in subtraction will show that the deficit for the year wai $63,965,310, a sum nearly equal to what was received from that foreign syndicate for the last issue of bonds. This isn’t partisan politics, but a statement of cold, hard facts. That these facts demonstrate the incapacity of the democratic party to successfully administer the affairs of the government is true, hut that is only so much the worse for the democratic party, which is responsible for.tliese disagree-

able facts.

Speaking of bond issues, any one can easily ascertain by comparison of the available cash in the Treasury just before the first bond issue with the amount of available cash on hand today that the three bond issues, while osten--ibly made to replenish the gold reserve, were in reality made to obtain the money to meet the deficit in the receipts of the Treasury brought about by democratic misgovernment and attempts to put the country upon a free trade basis. it is no exaggeration to say that hail the democrats when they came into power officially announced their intention to let the McKinley taritf alone, there would have been no bond issues and no panic. Although Mr. Cleveland has Known from the day that Gen. Schofield became the commander of the arn./ that he would retire under the age limitation yesterday (Sept. 29, 1895) he has allowed him to retire without designating his successor, and until he does the

duties of coitiin tntler of the army will devolve upon Secretary Laniont. wl o knows less about ban Jling troops than a newly appointed cadet to West Point, i General Nelson A. Miles, as the senior I Major General, should he the commander of the army, but it is said that ; Mr. Cleveland does not wish him to j have it because he believes him to he a ! republican, and that he even content- 1 plates leaving the position vacant in : order to deprive Gen. Miles of the j

honor of holding it.

Every day something turns up to accentuate the desperate condition of j Senator Gorman and his ticket. The latest is the refusal of his registration ; officers to allow a number of republicans who own homes, valued all the wry from $1,000to$50,000.in Maryland, but do business in Washington, to register in that state. A test case will be taken to the courts but as Gorman controls the courts largely there isn’t much hope of accomplishing anything further_than putting

them on record.

“PACER” SMITH A MURDERER. Killn Ifia Siftter-in-Law and WouihIk IHh Cliild at Decatur. Under the above caption the Crawfordsville Journal tells of the doings of C’bas. M. Smith. Smith was formerly a ball player and played here during the palmy days of base ball. He was a fair pitcher and a hard runner and an all round hustler when in a game. He sailed under the name of “Crazy” Smith when here for the reason that he lost all sense except hall sense when in a game. He is now a murderer and may get his neck stretched. The Journal says : All the base ball people ofCrawfordsville will remember tne notorious “Blackstop” Smith. Smith came to Crawfordsville several years ago and played base ball. He organized a team and after codeeting money to build a back stop he skipped the town. He frequently caine here afterward playing with Danville, III., and was always known here as "Back stop’’ Smith. The following from the Danville News

The atten lion given such events in the metropolitan papers is no small part of the daily newspaper business and Greencastle should have its share. The park will also make possible the organization of a local base ball team here next spring that can bring to our city the best amatuer clubs in Indiana. A little financial aid to the park will prove of benefit to the city and our citizens should he as liberal as their cirstances will permit.
