HONEST POLITICS VICTORY. In UnLUimlf. Journal. The best feature in the decision of the supreme court setting aside the apportionment acts of 1895 and 189u3 is that it shows an earnest purpose to treat the question ju dicialiy and to base the decision on fundamental principles. The ap proucb to this position has been slow on the part of the courts and people, hut it seems to have been reached at last. The movement has been an educational one, and the result is a triumph for princl pies which the Journal has been advocating for many } r ears. The present decision crowns the work of previous ones and puts an end to gerrymandering in Indiana. Hereafter no political party in this

As those of 1891 and 1879 has been held unconstitutional in previous decisions, that of 1885 becomes the only existing valid apportionment law of the

ment of 1885 will return a republican or democratic legislature is of small concern compared with the importance of having it settled that the legislature cannot violate the constitution and that gerrymander ing in Indiana is at au end. The line of argument pursued by the court iu declaring its right and duty to applj’ the test of the constitution to all laws is similar to that used in recent decisions by the supreme courts of other states, and will materially strengthen the weight of judicial opinion in favor of that view. The moral offset of the decision is a victory for honest policta. “ The New >endetta.’* At opera house Wednesday Feb. 5th. The thrilling, romantic and melodramatic play, “The Vendetta” was written by D. K. Higgins, an actor and author of reputation, and has proven, during the fourseasohs it has iteen on tbe road, one of tiie strongest and most successlul productions of the class to which it belongs, The story is intensely dramatic and is strongly appealing in its human interest. The situations are not only absorbingly thrilling, but they represent famous historical events. As to the scenery, there are exact reproductions of the in terior of the famous prison in Ton Ion. France, the gambling hell at Monte Carlo, and there is a more than usually realisticre|>resentntion of a shipwreck. The cast is still headed by the pleasing actor, W. R. Ogden, who has played the leading role ever since “The Vendetta” went on the road. The supporting company is in every way worthy. Kujcone Field’* I.HUt Story. In 1884 Eugene Field wrote a story which lie called “The Werewolf.” When it was finished he laid it aside and a year afterward entirely rewr'“e it. In 1S8G he again took it up and revised it, and during the nine years between that time and his death in November last, he rewrote it eight times. His last teyision pleaseo him and he decided to print it. But death came too suddenly, and the story was found, unpublished, among his effects. Mrs. Field, concluding to have the story appear, gave it to the editor of The Ladie*' Hume Jut ,/ul, in which magazine all of Mr. Field’s work, outside of his newspaper articles, was presented to the public. Th*- story will be printed in the next issue o f the Journal, strikingly illustrated by Mr. Howard Pyle.

Hiy;li School NotrM. Prof. House has been sick the past two days and was unable to hear his classes. Albert Black and Jennie Alexander have entered the senior class since the holidays. Mr. Chas. Kllis visited the school

yesterday.

The seniors have held two class meetings this week and appointed committees to attend to the preparation for class day. Mr. Kd Hunt, of Plainfield, visited the school yesterday. The juniors were examined on their work in physical geography last Wednesday and are now beginning on physiology. Mr. Geo. Ward and Miss Bessie Weida, both of the class of ’94. visited some of the classes Wednes day morning. The school board has furnished some new ami beautiful music to the high school and it is hoped that this will inspire the members of the school to work harded in

music.

Prof. Mahin afforded a great deal of amusement for the two sec tions of the senior class yesterday by exchanging places with one of the scholars in each section, in I

Nearly seventy five per cent of the advertising in the leading magazines and papers of national circulation, and nearly all of the advertisements in local papers, daily andj.weekly. are directly directed to woman, and a good proportion of the advertisements are of goods to he used or purchased by man, but so worded that the woman will see the adver tisemeut first, and direct the husband’s attention to the articles ad ver t ised.—Xo Hi a n tel b'o wler.

Who Can K^llev^ Them.

The following problem is going the rounds. A man purchased goods to the amount of 34 cents. When he came to pay for the goods he found he had only a one dollar bill, a 3 cent piece and a two cent piece. The grocer had a 50 cent piece and a quarter dollar. They (appealed to a bystander, but he had only two dimes, a 2 cent cent piece and a penny. After some perplexity the change was made to the satisfaction of all.
