The Say-re Rob* rtson combination are doing Indiana with a view to work up a kom in their own interests.* iiir the people know Say-re was : blatant obstructionist and Rob-rbon a pretender. The Message assumes the championship o£ Me o. j. iiiom. ' , nd Dunn, and lectures the Keutland Democrat on the proprieties of jour alism. Of course, what Horace don’t know—in his own estimation—isn’t w< rth knowing. “Contributed to The Republican by special arrangement,” reads the announcement at the head of a labored—very labored—article on “The Recent Legislature.” The same “special arrangement” signifies that is furnished by the Indiana Republican Publication Bureau, with positive orders t > their organs to insert. We suggest to the writer thereof, one Holstein, that wlilie engaged in giving his views on the constitution lie sho’d designate instauc s when Lieuten-ant-Oovernors were vot >d for undei circumstances similar to those of Robertson. - ■ —■ ♦ -♦» <£» - 1 m

In spite of; Holstein essays, the peOi le will bear in mind these facts: 1. That the vote for LieutenantGovernor was not counted in t' e presence of the two houses. 2. That the only Judges who have given opinions po'n the main question in. the Sinith-Rol ertson controversy held that the election was invalid. That the E 'publicans of the General Assembly did not establish the dead-lock until four-fifths of the time of the ses ion had r pired. 4. That during the dead-lo( ’ Republican Senators drew pav o ■ President Smith's warrant. hile Mr. Fish buck was draw--81,600 per year as his salary, under the ruling and advice of a Repu lican Attorney-General, all was lovely, and the aquatic bird was highly suspended, but now that Dr. Harrison is drawing the same pay for the same work, t> e Republicans are howling like hyenas. As the Republican had something to say on this matter last week, will it please copy the above?

OBITUARY.— Fannie Flournoy Miller was born at or near Mount Washington, Ohio, from whence she came to Rensselaer at t.e age of 12 years. Educated in the Rensselaer schools she commenced teaching in the schools of Jasper countv at the age of 10, and followed that profession for about 6 years. She shortly after married, at Michigan City, Eugene Edwards, whose instantaneous di-ath. in the vigor, energy and strength of young and healthy manhood, about a year after their marriage, was such a severe shock to a constitution by no means robust, that she from that time began to fail, and last autumn went to Los Angelos, California, for the recovery of her shattered health. But all in vdn the work of the Uestroyer was accomplished, and on the 25th of March, 1887, she from the life that was too full o" suite'ing and sorrow for h r to retain. Her friends, schoolmates and pupils in this locality will be saddened by the news of her untimely death, for Fannie was a good and brave girl and a noble wom an. Those who knew her best will feel that there is a vacancy created which will never be filled. The little daughter, now an orphan indeed, w is. left with Eupha, at L s Ange os. A Friend.

It is not creditable to The News to continually and ] e misrepresent. It knov s very v ell that the soldiers’ monument 1 ill was p :ssed by the senate before the deadlock, and that nobody disputes the validity of the signature of the then legal nresiding officer of it. The News knows that Speaker Sayre signe 3 and had sent to t e governor every bfll passed by the senate before he 24th of February, and tliat they all became Lws by virtue of such action.— Indianapolis Journal The News nows nothing of tin kind, nor does any one e'se. “Mark, now, how a plain tale shall put you down.” The bill was passed by the senate 1> fore the* blockade policy (jf the republicans, but this passage no more made a law of it than if it had been tabled. It was simply one step. Next, the house passed it and Speaker Sarye signed it and so did Colonel Robertson, as lieutenant-governor, and it did not b come a law by virtue of such action, as our contemporary asserts. To become a law, it still reel tired the signature of the presiding officer of the senate. It got this by the cour r esy of the governor who did what speaker Sayre ought to have clone —returned it to the house in which it originated for the signature foresaid. It got this and it was that of Green Smith.

he attempt of our contemporary to m. in laid that because tne bill passed the senate before the republicans concluded they could not recognize Smith as the de facto president thereof, that, th refore, its validity is beyond dispute, is a case of that kind of misrepresentation which it charges upon The News, ft r it knows that it is by virtue of Green Smith’s signature that it is law, and that this was attached after it pleased the republicans to hold him as a revolutionist.— This withheld, we should have had no law to-day authorizing the building of the soldiers monument.— We are sorry for our contemporary, for it has two years of the tallest kind of explaining to do yet, unless it should me intime come to the age of gumption, which recognizes that in some ases “the least said, the soonest mended.”- Indianapolis News, republican.

A Nice Arrangement.

The tariff tax on imported lumbea is $2 per 1,000 feet; but tiie-e is a feature about the lumber tax whici is not generally known. I is this: that the lumber barons annua 1 • import free from Canada a iarge portion of the lumber on wh/ch they charge and receive a $2 tariff tax on each 1,000 feet. How is this done? Why, simply because whi e the tax is levied on lumber, there is no tariff on logs, and the lumber barons, some of whom are United States senators, have purchased vast tracts of pine lands on the northern shores of Lake Superior. Th y hire cheap Canadian French-Indian labor to cut the logs which are then rafted across the lake into Michigan, free of tariff duty, where they are sawed into lumber, the value of which, to the lumber baron, is at once increased $2 per 1,0(10 feet by a protective tariff. A nice little arrangement, truly, by which'the government makes nothing, and the consu ,ier pays an unjust profit oii every board which goes into the construction of his house or barn or lumber wagon.—Dixon Sun.

WALKER ITEMS.

Farmers are busy with their spring work. Health is generally good. Miss Anna Stalbaum has gone to Valpo. Charley will go west. Drs. Bouk and Kearns will soon move their office to the new station calle l Moonshine. We wish them success. Mrs. Mary Zeigler, of Bunker Hill, is visiting her father, J. L. Hershman. Some of our boys have got the weste n fever. F. M. Her d) man returne 1 recently with a fine bunch of c .tile. Jerome Andrus accident ill v killed two wil l geese at one shot the oher day. Madam6B Darner and Hershnu n have been on the sick list. Hay is plenty and cheap; selli ig at from $1.50 to c 2 per tor. Jim Winrick has moved into the old house on the Wilcox farm.

You seem to forget, Lewis, that I am a wVow. ’

AGRICULTURAL.

As Eastern farmer recently an* nonneed his conversion to ensilage, and Announced his intention of immediately building a “cyclone.”— Chicago Jour rial. The chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington says that the Boil best adapted for the growth of Sorghum for sugar appears to be a sandy loam. An authority says there are $1,900,000,000 invested in the 6,000,000 miles of fences in the United States, and that they have to be renewed on an average once in fifteen years. Thomas K. McConnell, of Scott county, lowa, soaks his wheat in vitriol Water for twenty-four hours before sowing as a cure for smut. He uses on® pound of vitriol to twenty bushels of wheat. \ ery careful experiments made in New \ork last season, show that the flat culture of potatoes produces the finest tuber and the largest yields. The best results followed the Dutch method of planting, which consists in keeping the surface level, planting a single eye in a place, covering it six inches deep and allowing but a single stalk to grow in a hill, which are a loot apart each way, A correspondent of the Farmers' Review has practiced during several Winters the plan of keeping apples in dry sand, poured into the filled barrels after storing in the cellar, and finds it a “decided improvement” on any other ever tried, the fruit remaining till late spring "as crisp and apparently as fresh as when first gathered. ” He does likewise with potatoes, and useß the same sand year after year. The practice of some of the best farmers new is to keep pigs through the sujjamer on green food, cut and carried t<|Ahe pens, with a little grain, and what milk can be spared after butter making. Spring pigs are thus made to weigh 200 pounds at 7 months old, and, except in the last month, they get little grain. The best time to sell such pigs is at the beginning of cold weather, usually in October. The Indiana Fanner says one of its subscribers kept a record" of the time employed in cultivating fourteen acres of corn last season in the old-fashioned way, and finds he gave about two days to the acre. The yield w-as 800 bushels, over fifty-seven bushels to the acre. He estimated the value of his crop at $320, and the labor expended on it at $l2O, and, deducting expenses, he claim e profit of sl4 per acre. Pkj dent Ohmkr, of the Dayton Horti*.. ural Society, says he knew a man w iade a great success with an acre <- » of strawberries, gathering from ; y to thirty bushels a day, and he so elated with his success that, oi enlarging his fields, he said “he would gather 100 bushels a day or bust.” He “busted.” His single acre was well attended to; his five acres were necessarily more or less neglected. This scrap of history has been many times repeated-— Chicago Journal. A farmer vouches for the following as a prevention of chicken cholera; “Take a tight barrel, saw it in two in the middle, then wash it out good with hot water, so that there is not a particle of bad flavor in it. Then take two quarts of fresh lime and slack it, filling the tub or half barrel full of fresh water; when slacking, add one pound of alum to it and stir it good; let it Btand until the sediment has settled and the liquor is clear, and it is ready for use. When using it, take one pint of the clear liquor and add it to one pail of fresh water, and give your fowls to drink during summer months.”

Ax exchange, speaking of the Central Ohio farmers, says: “They abandoned our old-fogy, antiquated way of allowing every farmer to work out and fool away his own tax according to his own notion. There is a money tax, and the money is used by the lowest responsible bidder who agrees to keep the roads in repair. At one time there were a good many toll roads, but the people ar6 gradually buying them out, so that all roads shall be free. They go much further. They often tax the land a mile or more back from a certain road up to as high as $8 an acre, and make a good pike. This tax is in most cases very willingly paid. Several men assured me that it raised the price of land from 25 to 50 per cent. They could not be induced to go back to dirt roads, using a foot or so of gravel on a well-graded Foundation. It is certainly a great treat to live where the roads are good the year round; and a farmer is thereby brought much nearer his neighbors, nearer market and the rest of thg world." *

FREE TRADE.

The August Flower for Dyspensia and Liver Complaint, and I be Ashman Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles nave perhaps, the lar-> gest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatl appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized ouutries. Sample bottles for 10 cts. remaiu he same size 11 —1 Very Remarkable Recovery. Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manchester, Mich , writes: ‘My wife has been ah most five years, so helpless that she could not turn over in the bed alone. She used two bottles of Electric B.lters and is so much improved, that she is able now to do her own work.’ Electric Bitters will do all that is claimed for them. Hundreds of test* monials attest their great curative powers. Only fiftv cents a bottle at F. B~ Meyer’s. Aug 29-2. Notice of Final Settlement of Estate.
