It is very apparent that Mr. Halstead was capable of making a stronger impression as an editor than as a recipient of a public office.

Prize fighting is getting to be in disrepute because t"he fighters do not fight. Even the opponents of the manly art are much incensed at the lack of blood hed.

The English government which is equally interested with the United States in the outrages perpetrated by Germany at Samoa, managed to be outside of the quarrel. When the hurricane came the English man-of-war managed to get out of danger's way, while the German and American ships and men met with disaster. What is the significance in this? Or, is there any significance in it?

Emperor William,, of Germany, gradually removing the impression that he is a dangerous quantity on the throne of Germany. He has so far done nothing to justify the apprehension felt be fore he ascended the throne but on the contrary is pursuing a policy of peace and friendliness. He is not only behav ing in an exemplary manner toward other nations but is doing much that is conservative and wise in the discipline of his Own government.

The senate by its rejection of Mr Halstead has succeeded in calling at tention to

its Eecret

sessions wherein

personal grievances and not the public welfare are the actuating motives. We think the press will devote itself to this evil for some time to come and that these American lords will be constrained to hearken to a public senti ment that is decidedly opposed to secret sessions. Their only pretext for their existence is that matters are con sidered by the senate which, if made public, would involve public interests. So far as nominees for office are con oerned we do not see why a minister to the public scrutiny that is applied to a candidate for mayor or for congress.

THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.

There is a good deal of idle talk about the "censorship of the press," and "the liberty of the press" anent the action of the senate in the Halstead caee. The Commercial-Gazette is not restricted of its liberty to say what it pleases about the senate. It reiterates the truthful statement that Payne's seat in the sen ate was secured by Standard Oil boodle, The New fork World and the Louis villa Courier-Journal say as much and they are two good Democratic newspaper. All the newspapers in the country are now indulging their unhampered liberty to say that the senators who, made the rejection of the Halstead nomination possible, violated their obligations to the people whom they represents The press is taking the liberty to make it very plain to all the people that there is danger, perhaps, that a secret conclave within the senate chamber may usurp the right of the president to select men for public office by rejecting this or that one who, while he may fulfill all requirements for the position, may be personally objectionable to some one or two senators or to their corporations or business alliances.

The press is at full liberty to do all this, and should continue to maintain that attitude in public affairs. The greater danger is in the likelihood that the editors of newspapers, desirous of a change of oocupation for a few years, will yield to this assumption of a censorship of the press to that end. Public office and public newspapers should not be allied, under any circumstances.

THE COUNTY 8CHOOUS.

Of-

News In the County Superintendent's fice—Teachers' Licenses.

Saturday was the regular examination day for applicants for teachers' license. Thirty-six applicants were present. The number of applicants at the examination is greater than in previous years, as the Normal school faculty require persons wishing to graduate from the schools to secure two licenses to teach before applying for diplomat. Several Normal students

were

present, as was the

case at the last examination. The examination was attended by applicants from Posey, Wabash, Hancock and Jasper counties, some of whom expect to apply for schools in this county and Bome of whom are complying with requirements of the Normal school faculty. Mrs. McAlpine,of Kosciusko county, who is visiting in the city, visited the exam-ination-room.

Superintendent Curry suggests that the students who complete the eighth year in the city schools might well be permitted to apply for diplomas of graduation from tne common branches, the same as those who have completed the studies of the common schools. His reasons for the suggestion were that the studies are the same and that it might be beneficial to the students as well as the teachers. It would afford opportunity for the former to test their ability to cope with questions furnished. by the state, ana the latter could compare the answers of students from the country and the city, and thus form an idea of the thoroughness of both classes of teachers and students. Superintendent Curry said that if the city school authorities wish to avail themselves of such an examination be would hold an examination for them in his room on the third Saturday in April.

Mr. Samuel Duvall, who has been pnn cipal of the Lockport school this winter, has been re-elected to teach the spring term.

Miss Clara Peters, teacher at New Goshen, who has been sick for the past two months, has recovered and will re sume her duties to-day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

CKAWFORDSVILLE,

Ind., March 30.

The first county declamation contest for Montgomery county will be held at the Y. M. C. A. hall on Saturday, April 20, at 8 p. m. This is something new in the way of contests. Each township has held a primary contest and selected a pupil from the public schools, who is to take part in the county contest. Each contestant pays $5 as a fee before entering the contest. The winner of the medal will also receive a cash prize. There has been much interest taken in the affair in the several townships, and it promises to be very interesting. The contestants will speak in the following order as to townships: Madison, Frank lin, Soott, BrowD, Suguar Creek, Wal nut, Coal Creek, Clark, Union, Ripley and Wayne.

TO INCREASE ITS STOCK.

Peculiar Proposition of the Thomson Houston Electric Company.

The rise of the Thomson-Houston electric company has been phenomenal The shares with a par value of $25 have been quoted as high as $315. The net assets of the company a year ago were $489,999, and the surplus above, liabili ties January 1, 1889, $1,500,000. The company now comes forward with proposition to sell its shareholders $ 000,000 of common stock at par, $25, and .trmifflfflrM issue of $1,000,000 7 per cent, preferred stock to be disposed of at not less than par as the directors may determine. The purpose of the directors in this is excit ing considerable attention here now, What effect this combination of $1,000,000 of solid and $1,000,000 of liquid capital will have upon the present capital of $5,000,000 is a good deal of a conun drum, only equaled by the doubt as to the result of placing $1,000,000 of 7 per cent, preferred stock ahead of the balance of real and fictitious capital. The stock is largely held in Lynn, one of the largest out-of-town owners being S. A. Barton, of Chicago, who is credited with 467 shares.

Poor People Blade Suddenly Rich. Special to the Bepubllc. TUSCOLA, 111., March 29.—It has just

been discovered that Mrs. B. F. Marsh, who died suddenly of apoplexy at her home in Cincinnati a few days since, left no will, and as a consequence the $800,000 which she left will go to her two brothers and one sister. One of the brothers is George Fox, a poor man, late of this place but now of Paxton, 111. His portion is 3267,000. Mrs. George Middle coff, also, of Paxton, is the sister, while the other brother is John Fox, of Cin oinnati. Mrs. Marsh was the widow of B. F. Marsh, the Cincinnati millionaire, who died a few years ago, and who ac cumulated his fortune through the man ufacture of oil of vitriol.

S| Tanner's New Sensation

Dr. Tanner, the celebrated forty-day faster, is now preparing to- attempt the most wonderful test of faith and endurance that ever tried men's credulity. It is nothing more nor less than to be buried alive, under six feet of earth, for three months, deprived of air, food and water. Most people wiH be very ready to predict disastrous consequences, and intimate that the plucky little doctor Is deranged in his upper story, but he is determined to accomplish the feat, and come out of it with a whole skin, too. Dr. Tanner is firmly convinced that life may not only be suspended for three months, but for years, and perhaps indefinitely.

She Is Still a Favorite.

Whatever may be said of the popularity of Mr. Cleveland, now that he is no longer president, Mrs. Cleveland still remains, perhaps, the most generally popular young woman in the country. "You are not selling any pictures of Mrs. Cleveland now that she has lost her position as the first lady of the land, are you?" asked the reporter of old Aunt Clara Morris, who has kept a picture and curiosity stand at the capitol for an ordinary lifetime. "Yes, by the hundreds," was the reply. —[Washington Post.

A CHILDREN *4 KIBME8S.

Planned and Managed by Children with Tery Great Success. One

of the most enjoyable and novel entertainments of^the season was a Kirmere, which was presented before an audience by the little daughters of Mr. J. H. Briggs and their young frienda at Mr. Briggs' residence Saturday afternoon. The charm of the carnival as given by the children, whose ages ranges from 6 to 10 years, was its originality, it being planned and managed entirely by the little ones. They obtained their ideas from seeing the Kirmess at the Opera house. They gave their repetition entirely from memory. Nor did they stop with a mere reproduction of the dances. Their Kirmess also included a farce, and it was the same "Happy Pair" in which Mrs. Digges was Mrs. Huntington, and Mr. Douglass Smith! Mr. Huntington, in the big Kirmess. Nellie Briggs was dressed as Mr. Huntington and Bertha Hoberg as Mrs. Huntington. Their scenes were very realistic, even to the exact lines occasionally. The most striking parts of the farce were given. The scene where Mr. H. enters and takes his seat at the table, and Mrs. H. comes up and hands him a bouquet of flowers, which he throws over his shoulder, was given with excellent effect. Also the part in which Mrs. H. lights a cigar for her husband and bands it to him with great tenderness. In this a cigarette was used instead of the cigar, Bnd the effect was equally striking. The little girls received an ovation from the audience of parents and friends. Several dances were on the programme, half the little ones assuming male parts, and acting as gallant partners for the others. The Polish dance was well given. The scenic accompaniment ana orchestra were wanting at times but genius overcomes drawbacks in such a performances, as in all things, and those who were so fortunate as to be among the favored guests forgot the deficiency in the superiority of the production. i:

NORMAL NOTES.

Normalites are happy. The winter term closed Friday at 12 m., and the spring term opens Tuesday next.

Quite a number of students are spend ing their short vacation

spring term is large, so many are there expected that the assembly-room system can only be observed by those students doing the first year's work, and since there are so few recitation-rooms, the number of recitation periods will be increased to seven instead of six, as in the past regime.

Jos. Mullikin has accepted a position in the poatoffiee lobby, which will be found hereafter in the new government building on the corner of Seventh and Cherry streets. We suggest that his many friends, which includes all Nor malites, will find it both pleasant and profitable to call in and see him when wanting anything in school supplies.

Franklin Handled the Mails.'

When Benjamin Franklin was ap pointed postmaster general of the colonies in 1775 he went down to the office in Philadelphia, hung his coat on a peg behind the only door of the one room which constituted the department, and went to work. He procured a small book of fifty-three pages, in which he opened an account with each postmaster for the forty odd postoifices in the thir teen colonies, and kept it himself. Unlike the present postmaster general, remarks the Washington Post, the old Pennsylvaman was not bothered to appoint assistants, and as for clerks, he did not have any. At odd times, and when he was feeling lonesome because some of the neighbors did not come in to bore him to appoint John Smith postmaster at Jumperville, Franklin would go down to the city postoffice and assist to make up the mail, which left by stage coach every week. In a glass case in the postoflice department the curiosity seeker can see the old leathern bound book in which Franklin kept the accounts of the government. The transactions for three years— from 1776 to 1778, inclusive—are included in its fifty-three pages, and the mail transactions seem to have cut but an insignificant figure. You can also see the record of the uncalled for or misdirected letters that were returned for eleven years from 1777 to 1788. The book covers forty-four pagee, and during that time 365 letters were received. The number of letters returned to the dead letter office daily now averages 18,000.

I therefore put on a two foot leader and to that attached a No. 5 Aberdeen hook, selecting for a sinker a split shot of sufficent weight to resist the current. An industrious fisherman will need four or five sizes of shot and he will have to split a good share of his supply with his own jack-knife, which is difficult unless he knows how. It can be done very easily by driving the shot into a pine board or table until it is partially embedded, about one and a half inches from an ordinary staple which should be forced firmly into the wood. The end of the knife blade should be placed under the staple BO as to make the shot the fulcrum of leverage.

OP WAR.

I had donned an old canvass gunning coat, which, on account of its many pockets, iB the most convenient of all coats to wear on a trouting expedition. Its big back pooket concealed a generous lunch—the other pockets were filled with the necessary implements for the day's sport—such as fly-book, jackvknife, matches, tobacco, etc. I would rather take one fish on a fly than two by bait, but thinking I might find a place where a fly could not be cast, I had stowed away a good sized bunch ot worms in my side pooket—don't be disgusted fastidious reader—a tin bait box decorated with bright red paint is all very nice and pretty in a show case, but on a rough trout stream it is extremely cumbersome, and, what's worse, the lid has a habit of its own in flying open and spilling the worm?. The knowing angler uses his pocket, which can be lined with oil silk and is easily cleaned on reaching home. Arriving at the stream I intended fishing, I found it to be very narrow dnd thickly lined nnfJi VmoHcwi

The shot had hardly sunk below the scum, when, with rush, my tip was jerked into the water and before I could play out any line, the

joint went under. It was a nasty

place to fight a fish and I considered myBelf fortunate in finally landing a speckled beauty, weighing about pound, and dark-colored, as is generally the case with trout taken from mud bottom streams.

The trout and myself had kicked up such a

that the stream was rily

for some distance down it also being so hard a place to fieh, I decided to push ahead to the main creek. Oa reaching it, I substituted the short leader for a three yarder, suitable for flies.

Before leaving town, I had taken care to fill my book with a good assortment of

the cream of which were: The

"Light Montreal," Split Ibis, Scarlet Ibis, Coach nSan, Professor, Brown Hackle, Abbey, Grizzly King, Dark Montreal, Silver Doctor, Brown Hen, Jungle Cock and White Miller. The general rule

I selected for my tail fly or stretcher the Bed Ibis, 'and used for the second, .or dropper, a Coachman, The best way to attach the dropper ia to take the fly and cut from it the.loop on its enell, being care fnl t«-» ffiif. iLabmta tha Iraqi- fPhft pm Toot leader is composed of three sections.

There is no

danger of cracking the dry C\ gnell, and a different fly can be substituted with little trouble. After my gang was satisfactorily arranged and the point of one of the hooks sharpened witti a nail file, which every fisherman should have in his fly-book, I started down the stream wading through the center of it 8nd casting in every likely hole, now and then taking a fish', but all of them under a quarter of a pound. Having out but fifteen feet of line, I made a cast to lengthen it. The dropper had barely touched water before it was grabbed. When I realized what had happened, I found the tricky rascal was steering me straight for the submerged roots of a stump on the edge of a pool. I held as stiff a line as I dared to for fear he would get me

Bnagged,

but he

was so strong that I was unable to stop him. Angry at the steady tension of the bamboo, he flew in a rage before reaching his destination and started at race horse speed for the^reef below. The line cute the water like a knife and the reel is spinning. It would be folly to try to stop bim. He reaches the reef and forges ahead with the current, now swimming add now rolling over and over on the pebbles, often showing as he goes splashing and floundering through the shallow water. Great Scott! he has thrown himself high and dry on a large flat stone! Caution is forgotten in the excitement of trying to reach him. I slip, stumble on a stone and find myeelf sprawling in the stream. I did not for one moment lose sight of that trout, and am quickly on my feet again. But as I stoop to piok up the prize he flops into the water. Down stream he goes and aa the slack folds of braided silk have not tangled it is quickly run out, and once more I haar the merry click of the reel.

Bigh

of relief and a

short prayer of thanks that I see the race horse pass over a low fall and sulk in the bottom of the pool below. It will not do to let him rest, so with a light twitch of the rod he is started, and this time makes a circuit of the pool in search of some place to hide. Being disappointed in this he makes another break for shallow water. But he is getting tired and I easily persuade him to remain in the pool. Being true game he sticks stubbornly to the bottom and only comes to the surface very slowly, fighting every inch of. the distance.

When brought to'fid^hos he is quit* still. His mouth ia. wide open and he is gasping for breath. pr

As the net approaches him he makee one more dash tor liberty. The pliant rod appears to humor him in his desperate plunges, but in reality it is bringing him nearer and .nearer the yawning mouth of the landing net, which I finally slip under the exhausted ttsh.

Every fisherman knows the advantage of a landing net in capturing a trout. The trouble is to carry it while wading a stream. It should be yery light in weight, the netting stretoned on a wooden bow which has a short Jiandle not exceeding fifteen inches in length. To this is attached a rubber band to go over the shoulder and of sufficient length to allow the net to bang on the right hip. Here it ia convenient to the hand and will easily stretch down to the water and go back to place on being released.

TEMPTER AND TAKER.

To enjoy trout fishing a man muBt have a good outfit. Firet he should have comfortable and convenient wearing ap parol, a smooth running line and reel and delicate hooks. I give herewith the price list of articles really necessary: Pair rubber boots (light weight) .$ 5 00 Canvas shooting coat 1 60 Bod, split bambo (band made) 6 00 Landing net (as seen In cut) 1 00 Fly-book 1 00 Multiplying reel 8 00 Waterproof line 1 00 Files (two dozenl 2 00 Aberdeen hooks (two dozen): 70 Two (9-feet) single snell leaders 80 Four (2-feet) single snell leaders SO Spilt shot Knife Creel File

In purchasing a rod I recommend a seven to eight ounce split bamboo which, if cared for properly, is very durable. It should have a coat of carriage varish about once a year, if used mucb, and be shellaced from time to time. If this is not done water will penetrate the jointB, and the once springy bamboo will become weak and flabby. In the choice of reels a metal multiplier of light weight is preferable. J. W. J.
