Moore says he prefers being a hig man in a convention than a bark-i-1 g cur at the rear end of his party. The Republicans do not say a word for or against prohibition in their platfenn. f n hopes to secure certain votes, they fa* vr submission without an “if.” Talk a lout your “taffy.” The late Republican Congresa made . propriationa aggregating nearly one a iid red million dollars more than were made by a Democratic Congress last-year, ■iti-i one hundred and ten millions more an was appropriated the year before I hcie is no man in Indiana who ix held ; 'gher esteem than Thomas A.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. Indianapolis Journal: “Dr. John Collett. State Geologist, returned yesterday morning from Newton and Jasper counties, where he has been spending the las* few days in making geological researches and survey*. He brought back with him quite a large collection of fosßils and antiquities which were secured in that region, among others being a part of the remains of a mastodon, which was presented to the State Museum by Dr. Lough* ridge, and a unique flint sword, a relic of the primitive people, given him by Professor Hooper, of Rensselaer, besides several hundred specimens of fossils.— However, about the most important feature of the visit was the discovery by Dr. Collett of the former bed of the Iroquois river, which was from one to three miles south of its present course, running westi und from 150 to 160 feet deep. The old lied is capable of draining 900 square miles of land in Newton, White and Jasper counties. The valley is at present covered with drift, and parts of it are overflowed. The discovery is an exceedingly important one, and will, doubtles s result in drawing the attention of the public to the matter of draining the lands ;u that region. Dr. Collett is quite confident that the plan is feasible, and will result in great good if carried into effect.”
