probation. Fifty tliousami dollars miuht possibly be sufficient to put a new paper on a paying basis: but the investment would be a risk, under the most favorable circum stances, which no prudent business man could be induced to assume. Tyros will argue differently, but experience will quickly expel the illusion that a newspaper is a thing of hot-house propagation. It can not be established in a week or a month or a year. It is of slow growth, beset by thousands ofob stacles and repulses which never enter into the calculations of impractical promoters.”

Among the higher railway officials a disposition is shown to further curtail the issuance ot passes for 1890. It is stated that, in the present year, the efforts in that direction have effected a de crease in free transportation issued of 25 per cent, at least. We see no need of any discrimination in this matter. Every one should be placed on an equality and made to earn their transportation, as the newspapers insist upon being placed. They give value received and be lieve every one else should be treated likewise.

Indianai'oi.is Journal: During the first two years of the administration of Benjamin Harrison more than $200,000,000 of the public debt was paid and with it forever canceled an annual item of $10,000,000 of interest. During the first two years of the present adminis

HUN3RY TO HANG

Gr«encaatl«*s Old Ball Pat Anxiaua for his Day of Doom to Come. Decatur Republican. This week “Backstop” Smith, ttie condemned murderer, doomed to hang on November 29, has been sulking in his cell tent. He wanted a barber to come over and give him attention. Smith has many re quests to make. He probably thinks that he owns the county officials, and can command them at will to do his bidding. The otticials thought perhaps that Smith looked pretty enough as he was, without having his hair clipped and his face shaved. Smith thought differently, however, and for nearly two days he refused to come out of his cell, claiming that he was not presentable. The sher iff yesterday gave orders for a barber to attend Smith; and Charley Grist went over with his kit to trim him up in the latest style of the tonsorial art. Smith had his hair cut and his face shaved, and Grist pointed his moustache in a way that pleased the old time ball player. There was more or less talk during tile operation and Backstop said at the finish : “Well Charley, I guess this will be the last time you will cut my hair.” “Oh, I don’t know,” said Grist. “November 29 is a good wavs off yet, and you can’t tell what will happen.” “I don’t care a d—d,” said Smith, as he got up from the chair and stretched himself. “I wish the hanging was to come off tomorrow. It can't come to soon for me.” It is apparent to Smith's jaii companions that the doomed man is utterly carelees or indifferent as to iiis fate. He is making uo effort to get a stay of execution, and each day plays cards and fritters away his time in frivolities. He is impatient for the last day to come.

This train will not run at that speed just while it is going through Greencastle, but will make the same time all the way from Cleveland to St. Louis. The officials of the Big Four are figuring on placing a train on this division that will he much faster than ttie Knickerbocker and this trip will be made to see what time will be required.

Senator Voorheet’ Lecture.

The lecture of Senator Voorhees to which reference has been made so often of late in the papers will take place in Meharry hall next Tuesday night, Nov. T>th at 8 o’clock. The lecture is entitled “The Holy Sepulcher” or “A Lawyer’s Evidences for the Divinity of Christ.” In this lecture, the Senator appears in a new form of public address, in which his friends believe he will achieve a distinction ns great as that which he has obtained in law and statesmanship. The lecture has already created a wide spread interest and all the Senator’s friends and all who are

Retiring OfHciala. There retired from the court house today two officers who have served out their time, G. M. Black as auditor, and Dan S. Hurst as recorder. The former served four years and was defeated in the pri mary, for a second nomination. Mr. Black has made a good officer an 1 has been obliging and courteous at all times to the patrons of his office. He has the thanks of the Banner Times for the many favors shown the representatives ot this paper in t.he past four years. Newspaper men appreciate courtesies and there is no fault to find with the number Mr. Black sent our way. Mr. ilityst has been in charge of the recorder’s office eight years. He has been a faithful officer and retires leaving his records up to date in good shape. Mr. Hurst's absence from the court house will be felt. As a politician he knew more democracy than most of the boys and could generally size up the situation at any time, and was regarded as authority in his party councils. The Banner Times never agreed with Mr. Hurst on his po litical views, but when information was wanted there was no better place for the reporter to get his share than at Mr. Hurst’s office. He also has our thanks. The re tiring officers have our best wishes in their future business anil social careers. Literary Motet*. The editors of McClure's Mag azine call attention to the unaccountable neglect of Lincoln as a subject for a magazine serial. Books about Lincoln have necessarily—like ail books of biography —a limited circulation, and only once before has a magazine published a life of Lincoln. People at large know little of the first forty years of Lincoln’s life. Few know that he was a man grown before he left Indiana for Illinois. He spent fourteen years in southern Indiana, and leit there in his twenty-second year. There is a remarkable resem blance between the early portrait of Lincoln in McClure's for November and the portraits of Emerson.
