“Jasoer,” in the Republican this week, in response to the statement of present prices of cereals, bee', and farm products g morally, published in the Sentinel, says: yes! I an recollect when »y father got 37^cents per bushel for wheat, 12 cents for corn, certs foi dressed pork and less than 1 cent for beef. Those weie in the good old Democratic days, “befo’ de war.” Yes, in thinly populated and widely scattered settlements, with no demand at home, no quick transit, and the comparatively cheap transportation of to-da , such was no doubt the case but it ean be no argument in defense of the low ruling prices that now exist. In anothsr column we publish a communication from the lato republican attorney general, D. P. Baldwin, which should prove profitable reading to “Jasper.” The Republican cheerfully gave space for the “Lamentations” of its republican friend Bill Jones, and permit him ato censure hiu wife to his heart’s content, but would yield no spaoe to another equally good republican who de* sired to give his reasons why the present trustee should not be renominated. Had the parties been Democrat.! the Republican would not have required the name of the author to be attached thereto tj insure its publication. The Supreme Court of the State of Indiana has decided that the School Book Law is constitutional, mandatory, very binding, must be obeyed, and that the Trustees must do their duty. Had the majority of the tiusteesof Jasper county obeyed tue law a consider* able sum of money would have been saved to the patrons of our schools. The republican trustees in Jas* per county thought themselveg bigger than the Legislature, but they will haidly antagonize the Supreme Court. 12,619,50 was saved 4 to the sflioo 1 patrons of White county the present term. Trustees obeyed the law. The young ladies of Hammond have formed a protection Ciub, with a constitution as long as your arm, wherein they refuse to recognize young men who frequent saloons, and drink of the firewater. Be careful what you write op a postal card. The extreme penalty for writing on a postal card any thing intended to reflect injurious, ly upon the character of another, is a fin* of SSOO and imprisonment for five years. The editor of the Edgar (Neb.) Times says he regrets “that butchers who buy fat cows at two cenls a pound and sell steak at fifteen cents a pound, cannot afford to advertise, but, thank God, liver is on the free list.”

The swindlers who are about to ruvide “an immense estate” in Europe among heirs in this country are industriously working Indiana again. It is curious how the fools will bite at thin bait and send money to hunt up proof of their heirship. The School Book Trust, thei* 1 hired agents and tools, are flooding the Stat? with circulars, endeavoring to make the people believe that the new School Book £>aw of Indiana is a failure; that the books selected and adopted by the State Board of Education are j not near so good as those published by the monopoly houses. The

following statements made by County School Superintendents in their official capacity, to the County •omirissioners, show the savings to .he people by the adoption o. *he new school books: Dear* boi-, *1,496.06; Green, $1,893.10; DeKaib $1,773.90; Martin, $615.* P n ‘ Sc tt, 1*839.70; W $869.15; Gib <>1.292.05; Tipton. *680; Mar hall. $1,748.35; Sullivan, $2,140.76; losev, $1,803.50; Warrick, $2,156.40; Pike, $1,148.38; Uinton. $1,676.15; Well >,494.65: White $2,613.5'*; L 619 5o; Dubom,£l,3v. , t 2 809.95; LaPorte, $3,582.05 f an<liu, $939 rw;Crawford;s6/i; ‘Tad-.on, $2,629.55; Union. $681.75.

EAGLE KILLS A DEER.

An Odd Happening on Twin lake Stream In the Adirondacks. James D. Sloan killed an eagle over on Twin Lake Stream recently under circumstanoes that have excited a good deal of interest among the woodsmen, writes a .North wood, N. Y., correspondent. Sloan was looking for a suitable spruce for shingles. He was carrying his rifle, he says, on account of the possibility of seeing a rabbit or a bear, two sorts of game now in season. About two miles below the North Lake road two large birds flev up from the brush before him very unexpectedly and alighted in a tree not more than six rods away. Sloan thought they were hawks, but of such enormous size that he at once raised his rifle and shot the largest one, when the other flew off in & lumbering fashion and disappeared. Then Sloan looked at the bird and found that it was a real bald-headed eagle, with wings that spread a bit wider than he could span with his arms, or perhaps 6J feet. On examining the brush where the birds were first seen the body of a freshly killed fawn, born last spring, was found. It had been killed by the eagles, and they had then eaten so much of it that apparently they were too tired to lly far when alarmed. Eagles, and especially bald eagles, are rarely seen in this country, while the oldest inhabitant does not remember such a circumstance as a deer being killed by them.

WHAT THREE HOURS BROUGHT.

How Formality Wore Off Wlille a Young Couple Took in Scenery. An exceedingly polite young gentleman handed a very pretty girl into the Capitol the other day, and while looking for the keeper of the building to have the door leading to the dome unlocked, he was heard to address his companion as “Miss Alice,” says the Atlanta Constitution. For three hours the eouple remained leaning on the parapet and talking of the scenery and other things. As they were finally leaving the building the young man was heard to address the young lady as * ( my own darling precious sweetheart.” It was thought probable that he had not wasted his opportunity. A Chin*man’s Picture. A Chinese journalist has bees giving Ms impression of the western world, and it makes very interesting reading. Here is a description of a 5 o’clock tea: “When the time comes invitations are sent to an equal number of men and women, and after they are all assembled tea and sugar milk, bread and the like are set out as aids to conversation. More particular are their invitations to skip and posture, when the host decides what man is to be the partner of what woman, and what woman of what man. Then with both arms grasping each other they leave the table in pairs, and leap, skip, posture and prance for their natural gratification. A man and a woman previously unknown to one another may take part in it. They call this skipping tanchen (dancing). Tea, wMch is pronounced tee. is always black tea: but it must be mixed with milk and white sugar. They dare not drink it neat, alleging that it would corrode and so injure the drinker.” ! I Ceremonious. i Frenchmen are noted for their punctiliousness, but they have no monopoly of that virtue. A nice sense of propriety occasionally crops out in quite unexpected quarters. | “Pat,” said the superintendent of •M of our New England manufactories, “go down to the firm’s office and wash the windows.” ' Pat presently appeared in the outer room with his bucket and sponges, i “An’ I was tould to wash thewindye in the firm’s office,” he said to one of , the clerks. ; “All right, that’s it right in there,* 1 answered the clerk pointing to the door. j “But they’re in there,” said Pat. 1 “Oh, never mind, go right in." But Pat still hesitated. “Faith,” said he. * -an’ would ye plaze be aftei [foin’lii an’ introduoin’ me?”

The refusal of a Detroit street car company to receive coppers from passengers brought out the fact not gen - erally known that one, two, three and five cent pieces are legal tenders up to twenty five cei.ts. while ten, twenty, twenty-five and fifty cent pieces are legal tenders up to ten dollars. The Indianapolis Journal invites the fanners to Quit grumbling, pay cash and they will get along much better, ihe Journal forgets that paying cash with 15 cent oats and 20 cent com is not the easiest thing in the world to do. The fewer insults the Journal offers the farmers the better forth© Journal. It nc w seems that Deputy Marshal Saunders, who was recently killed in Florida, was engaged in a drunken debauch with some bcon com pan ions, during which a row oc curred and Saunders was shot.

HOGS AND THE TARIFF.

Judge Baldwin Shows How the High Protective Policy Bobs the Indiana Farmer. Indian tnnlir Sentinel To the Editor—Sir: A gen tleman asked me on the street last Satui day: “Whom does our high tariff hurl?” I ans wered: “The farmer.” Street arguments are always unprofitable, and, accordingly, I will elaborate this answer and take The Sentinel for it To do so, I Belect as an illustration- of how our high tariff affects the farmer—the hog. This is only one of a score of illustrations, but I select this as one that appeals to every Hoosier, and because it is easily understood. The United States is the greatest hog-raising country m the whole world. We raise more than half of all the s wine in North and Souih merica, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia combined. We raised over 50,000,000 hogs last year, and of this number Indiana and Illinois produced over 7, 500,000. The United States ex* ported last year $750,000,000 of products and of these nearly $96,000,000 were in hog products. The hog product exports are over 63 per cent, of all our animal meat, dairy, poultry and game products combined. Now, the bulk of our hog products goes to England. The American hog products are excluded from France, Germany, Italy, etc., as a retaliation for our high tariff laws. In the same way Mexico excludes by a| prohibitory tariff all our dressed beet, pork, lard, etc. The armies of Germany, France, Italy and Mexico number 2.000,000 men, and the population of these countries over 100,00. ,000, all of whom eat pork and con sume lard, hams and other forms of isog meat. The result of these retaliatory tariffs is that there is that much less foreign demand for the Hoo • sier farmer’s meat. The hog crop of the United States for 1889 was worth nearly $292,000000. Now, see the effect upon prices. Hogs to-day are lower than they have been for a generation. Hogs run this fall as low as $3. I believe now the price is a little better, perhaps they bring $4 per hun dred. Now it doesn’t take a very smart man to see how high tariff hurts the farmer. The rea son why Great Britain is our best customer for hog product is that these retaliatory tariffs of France, Germany, etc., do not apply to her. By repacking, she can sell the American product as English goods. This is the controlling reason of the low price of our hogs this spring. If we had the benefit of European, markets, we could easily make eur 5-V 0 ',OOO American hogs worth 5 0/X)0,C09, instead of “'292,- ™ 0. Or, to pi, tit pla ii \ er, with a free foreign market hogs in Indiana would he worth $6 to $8 instead of , 3 to U per hundred, or $lO instead of $6 apiece. With an unrestricted foreign market the $66,000000 worth of hog product

sent abroad in 1889 could e aaily have been doubled; or our farmers could have realized $125,000,000“ for this export alone ins tear of ; 000. Every pig pen in the United States is a protest against this short-sighted high tariff policy. Of course, in answer to this we shall have the standard re marks about the cheap goods furnished the farmer by the protected American manufactures. At some other time I will take up this argument At present all 1 seek to do is to give a simple specimen of how tariff hints the Hoosier farmer. I take the plainest illustration that I can find, so as to adapt my answer to the greatest number of inquiries. D. P. Baldwin. Logansport, lnd., March 11.
