V ice-presideut Morton has taken a license for a saloon in Washton. It badly shocked our rar lical friends in this neck-o’-the-W( ioda, and they denounced it as a <* >pperhead lie. Capt. J. A. Burnham has reeiyed a notice of a re-rating and ncrease of his pension rate. The ncrease is only two dollars per month, or much less than Mr. Burnham’s disability, incurred in service, would seem to justly entitle him to. —Republican. Well this republican administration is too much occupied in shovelißg out the surplus to the Manderson’s and others cf the class that is not entitled to it, to devote any thought to the needy and deserving. President Eliot, of Harvard University, rececntly said, among other things: “In the first place, though 1 ro’t up first a Whig, then a Republican, and almost a protectionist, I have come to believe that the protectionism principle is false and delusive, and that the industries Oi. the United States are crip* pled and their natural development prevented ly the heavy taxes, maintained under the name of protection. The protective duties, so-called, protect capital perhaps* but not labor [appiauseJ and I believe that this pntection for capital is unnatural and undesirable in the long run. [Applause.] Mr. Bussey has done even more than Corporal Tanner to degrade the pension roll. With his reckless “decision” ffiat claimants who had been injured while swimming, Playing r.t leap-frog and witness ing circus performances were “in line of duty,” ana that a di honorable discharge was not a bar to a pension, he has placed valor and ignominy on the same plane and the veterans of the war down to the level of the bounty jumpers, c ffee coolers, dead beats and deserters. It was Bussey who opened the door to Tanner.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THEM.

The farmers of the country, says the Lafay.dte Journal, are at last becoming alive to their actual condition and taking steps to bring about a more desirable state of affairs. Thejdispatches tell us that m Michigan they are organizing in opposition to trusts and combines of all kinds and they propose to make their fight at the ballot box. Their organization nums bers about 80,000 at the present time and is growing rapidly. They declare openly that they are going to control the elections, if need be to defend their own interest. They can do it if they so decide and the powers that be may well look out for them. The wheat growers of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys and the Pacific coast met at St.Louisthe oiher day and, among other things, resolved in favor of such a reciprocity of trade between this and fnroign nations as would cause fore gu export ot American wheat free of duty. They resolved further that it was the duty of Congress to take such steps as will destroy combines and trusts and once more they resolved: “To the end that we may get our farm present laws be repealed that place a duty on farm implements, or the raw material used in their manufactu e.” The men who composed that ctmve ition are men of intelligence, and their resolutions sound as if they had punctured the protective tariff tissue of fraud a& applied to the farmers. On account of such meetings and for passing such resolutions the Republican press has raised the cry of alarm, and has tried to point out to these farmers that

plements at a less price, that the they are driving into the camp of “free traders.” But the Minnesota farmers meet and resolve to resent the attack made on their meetings and declare that “the conoern of one is the concern of all, ind the injury of one is the injury of all.” Other interests are trying to convince the farmers that it is wrong or the m to go into such organizations . Well, a primary proposition wa would say the same thing ta them. But as a matter of selfdefens the question is quite different Other interests have treated the farmer as a green horn and trampled his his interests nnder an iron heel because it has been thought the farmer, in his isola ed condition, incapable of organizing frr the purpose of self-defense. But when whole States and sections of the countrp get into intels ligent convention and begin passing ringing resolutions, the matter takes on quite a different aspect and the corporations that are fattening to day at the farmer’s expense may well get frightened. Out in the new State of Montana the “Northwestern Farmer and Breeaer,” an agricuiturol paper heretofore giving aid to the Republican party, came out last week talking like this: “The Sepublican policy of protection does not leoiesant the western idea. The farmers of the entire northwest who have been giving the Republican party its majorities are low tariff men.” Further the paper says: “We have noticed that once a farmer is led to investigate the tariff he discovers that it is really a personal matter and effects his success; it enters the house and touches almost almost everything in daily use; goeaout upon the farm and lays a heavy tax on all his farm machinery, tools and utensils—a tax that brings him no return in any shape. The paper declares its intention to discuss the tariff freely and invites the farmers to a careful consideration of what it has to say. The farmers of the United States are oppressed to- day and they are not making a living. They know this to be a fact and th s day has passed when some broad cloth gent, from a comfortable office in the city, und who don’t know a cornstalk from a stalk of mullen, can make them balieve they are the most prosperous peoule on earth. 1 Farming don’t pay. Farmers have the remedy in their own banes. Their redress is at the ballot box and for ond, we are glad to see them organizing and moving in that direction.

print elsewhere the resolu tions recently adopted by the Randolph county bo<.rd of education on the text-book question. They are sensible and patriotic, and show that the Randolph county board is composed of honest men and good citizens. They very rightfully denounce the attempt to give the school book question a partisan aspect, and condemn in severe terms the attempt of the trust to create a sentiment against the law by the use of money.— Randolph county is one of the strongest republican counties in the state. But that is no reason why it should not enjoy all the advantages conferred by the school book law. There is no “politics” iu that law. Although it was passed by a democratic legislature it received many republican votes. It was in the line of recommends* tions made by Gov Hovey in his inaugural address. Of the state board of education which adopted t e new text books, more than half the mitnbers are republicans. Of the Indiana school book company half the members, ineludii g the president and vice president, are active republicans. The at tempt to make a political issue out of these books is simply a trick of the school book trust, which Gov: Hovey so roundly denounced in his inaugural for its robbery of the p opleof Indiana. The Randolph county board of education sees through this little game, showing that it has more intelligence and more honesty certain other republican boards —those of Kokomo and Connersville, for instance.

SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.

Resolutions Adopted by the Randolph County Board. The preamble and resolu tions recently adopted by the Randolph county board of education on the text book question are given in full Delow: Whereas, The legislature of this state at its last session passed a law concerning textbooks for use in the common schoois of this state, and whereas, the members of the state board of education, gentlemen of worth, inteligence and experience, and the recognized leaders ot educational thought in this state; men whose integrity and purity of character I i as been, and is now, above reproach, and high aboye the plane of acting from motives ot mere partisanship, have in accordance with Ihe law on this question, carefully examined the books of the Indiana educational series, and pronounced them equal in every respect te the books now generally used throughout this state: Therefore, Be it resolved by the members of this board, that we deem it to the best interests of the educational welfare of this county that the books of the Indiana educational series be put into the schools of this county as new classes are formed, and that we hereby make a rule to that effect. Resolved, That we deprecate the attempts that have been made to make the school-book question a partisan one, and that the n: embers of this board will look with disfavor upon all attempts to make party capital out of a question purely educational in its scope and charact and that we believe the true friends of education, who take the time and trouble to investigate the matter will agree with us in the proposition that this question has been agitated as a party measure, and odium sought to be cast upon the books adopted oecause certain book agents and publishing houses have made a corrupt use of money to create such a sentiment and defeat the ends and purposes of the law. Resolved, That notwithstanding thefaetthat achange of text-books as new classes are formed may create some confusion, we think such a course will cause less trouble than the use of two sets of books, which cannot be prevented, becuse there are persons who will buy s the new series of books, ana under the law teachers and offi ers are obliged to recognize them, and thereby uniformity be destroyed and the schools suffer in consequence thereof, unless the old series of books are replaced altogether by the new. Resolved, That we ask the people to consider carefully his subject before attaching blame to any one, believing that if any one is to be blamed in the matter, it should fall on the law officers whose sworn duty it is to enforce the law . Resolved, that we ask the co-operation of the people and the press of this county in the enforcement oi this law,which will ultimately save the people about, 50 per cent, in the cost of their school-books.

Resolved, That the attempts by certain book agents and publishing-houses to create a sentiment against the present law l)y the use of money, making it embarrassing for school officers in the performance of their duties, we regard as mean, contemptible and disgraceful. Resolved, That we commend the action of Gov. Hovey in bringing this school-book question to the attention of the last legislature, and that we also commend the efforts of all persons, regardless of party, to give the people cheaper books without im pairing the quality and character of them. J. W. Denney,President. W. H. Wright, Secretary.

Washington, Oct, 25.—Levi P. Morton, the vice-presfdent of the United States, took out a liquor license to-day, and is now dulv authorized to peri form all the functions of a saloonkeeper. Mr- Morton is owner of the Shoreham hotel, a magnificent structure of stone and brick, that cost *300,000. He has taken much interest in its building this summer, and many of its pleasantest features were his own suggestions. It was opened Tuesday, and now that it is full of people who want something a little stronger than Potomac river water. Mr. Morton has obtained from the district authorities a licence to sell spirituous, vinous and malt liquors. The district laws require the consent of three fourths of the propertyowner* es the block in which a saloon is located John R. McLean of Cincinnati is an ex tensive property-owner in the same block with Mr. Morton, and backed the vice -president in his application for a licence. The two gentlemen owning three fourths of the property in the block th® licence was issued.

Mr Mandersan is not entitled to a penny of pension. The pretext of technical disability under whioh be draws pension mon yis a wrong to the really disabled ex-soldiers as well as to the labor of the country. Secy. Noble has dene partial if tardy justice in annulling the false uerteficate of his total disability to earn hft living. Complet justiee will not be done until his name has been stricken from the pen ion rolls. If he can earn hundreds of thousands it private busi* ness and $5,000 ayear in public office, the pretense that a wound received in the military service a quarter es a oentury ago disables him in whole part from supporting himself Is fraudulent. and the money he draws is money wrongful y taken from labor to the detriment of reall disabled veterans.—St Louis Republic ■•<!> ■ Try A 1 Bryers’ hand made Mascot cigar, only 5 cents.
