Orders for the new school books have been sent in from nearly every county in the State. So far as Indiana is concerned the school book trust has gone to where the woodbine twincth. - ♦ A member of the Town Board recently informed us that he had been reported incorrectly as having voted for the “high protective ordinance.” If this be so, it received but two votes, and was, therefore, not adopted. At*its next meeting, when the minutes are before Hie Board for correction and approval, this matter should be considered, and the proper correction mad ?.

Amid all the show and glitter of the ceremony, however, the name of one man must have been present in the minds of all, and that name was Oliver P. Morton’s. If it had not been for his genius and untire ing per. everance and energy an indelible stain would have been fixed upon the records of Indiana during the AVar of the .Rebellion. There was no other State in the North which gave the General Government so much anxiety. Within its limits the treasonable organization of the Knights of the Golden Circle wa j formed, and had it not been crushed bv the iron hand of Governor Morton the conflict between freedom and slavery would probably have been prolonged and thousands of lives more would have been sacrificed and millions of dollars more spent. Ihe nation has never accorded to Oliver P. Morton the measure of praise due him for his promptness and vigor in that crisis.—Philadelphia Press.

V'hat bosh! Oliver P. Morton was for Oliver P. M rton. He was se.fish and unscrupulous m all his acts. Had he been less a coward, none who refused to pay obeisance at his shrine would have been permitted to claim citizenship in Indiana during his reign. He was a selfish, scheming demagogue, devoted alone to his own advancement,personal aggrandizement, and self-gratification, carng nothing by what means they were obtained. He pandered to the prejudices and desires of his followers that he might through them accomplish his aims. He dispatched his lieutenants over the State (A?odd was one of them) to sow discord among the people, to organize bands of the Knights of the Golden Circle, hoping thereby to capture such Democrats as might be inveigled into it, try them so? treason, and fasten the odium upon the Democratic party. He had the State pla-ed under martial law and filled with provost marshals to annoy the people when no war raged within our borders.* He labored zealously to inflame the minds of his partizans against Hendricks, Turpie, Voorhees, McDonald and others vastly his superiors in ability, patriotism, states manship, citizenship, morality and purity of character. If “an indelible stain” ever attached to Indiana, it was placed there by the actions of Morton impelled by an unhol / ambition. Morton is dead, and the Philadelphia Press and its ilk should not resurrect him with a view of surrounding him with a hallo of glory. A vast multitude still survive who vividly rememK r the occurrences of the times, and when Morton and his administra a tion is brought up) for consideration they naturally revert to the history of Nero and his reign.

The Democratic State Convention of Ohio met the o.her day and placed Hon. James E. Campbell in nomination for Governor, The proceedings throughout were marked with unbounded enthusiasm, and the following resolutions unanimously adopted:

1. The democracy of Ohio in convention assembled approve the declaration of principles made by the national democracy in St. Louis in 1888, and especially that part of it demanding reduction of tariff taxes. We will continue the battle for tariff reform until the cause ot the peop’e is triumphant. 2 We regard trusts, in whatever form organized, as legitimate result of our present tariff system, and we demand the iepeal of all tariff taxes that enable them to extort from the peop-.e exorbitant prices for the products they control.

3. We again acknowledge the great debt of gratitude the nation owes to the heroes of the late war and we declare *n favor of just, liberal and equitable pension laws. 4. We denounce the republican administration for its; repeated violation of its pledges in benalf of the civfl service reform.

5. We denouncejthe present state administration as the most partisan demoralizing and extravagant in cur history. We invite the careful investigation of all citizens in our financial affairs as shown by the official records. 6. We protest against the repeated enactment of laws, vesting the apponting power in the governor, enabling him to control the local boards oi our leading cities. While depriving them of self government, it constructs a vast political machine that is at all times dangerous, and tn the hands of a partisan chief executive has become a positive menace to the people of tha state 7. The nomination of the governor of Ohio for a third teim, in violation cf all precedent, by the notorious and disgraceful use of patronage at his command is an outrage agai st the people and should be rebuked at the polls. 8. We heartily favor home rule in Ireland; we demand it also for Ohio. While favoring all laws that sacredly protect the ballot-box and the honest voter, we demand the enactment of laws that will enable our cities to choose their own servants and control their own affairs.

There are special dangers inci*, dent to many occupations, and telegr&oh operators are supposed to be especially liable to electric shocks during thunder storms, but it is safe to say that the experience of Miss Green, the operator at Chalmers, is unparalleled in the annals of telegraphing. Our correspondent at that place says: “On last Saturday evening a cow being driven from the country became either frightened or enraged as she approached the approached the village, ran into the waiting room of the depot and thence into the telegraph office where Miss Green was engaged in sending a dispatch. Books, papers and office supplies were scattered in all directions and Miss Green was severely injured. Whether it was a vicious attack is not known but the cow’s actions had that appearance, Miss Green was thrown against the stove and letter press. She managed to get upon the table, upon which the cow also jumped with her fore feet. Miss Green is at this, writing confiued to her bed attended by a physician. She suffers severely, having had one of her thumbs dislocated, her **rms badly bruised and rerhaps being injured internally.” How many young ladies would even be alive after such an encounter? If Miss Green recovers she will deserve a medal for having passed through such a trying ordeal to her nerves. —Monticello Herald.
