GREENCASTLE, INDIANA, MARCH 26.
Rfppblicans read the call for city convention and govern yourselves accordingly. , The pastors of the different churches in Crawfordsville, have banded together to light the rum power. There is need of such a combine up there. A man who gets $6.50 per thousand for cheap letter heads, furnished the county, never accepts “double prices.” Oh! no. That is near kin to highway robbery. An advertisement in the Indianapolis News, yesterday, announced: “Tinware cheaper than ever.” And thus does the heartless advertiser jump on to the able editor.—Journal. Senator Leland Standford and wife visited Bloomington Monday and tendered Dr. David S. Iordan, president of the State University, the presidency of ih - famous Leland Standford Jr. University at Paloraa), California, Dr. Jordan accepted the same anil is to receive $11,000 per year. He will linish the present year with the State University. At last our persistent prodding has caused the Star-Press to announce the “Mothers’ meeting is a worthy attempt at reform.” Glad the S.-P. is getting its eyes open on such a vital question as the mothers’ movement. The Banner and Times never wearies of good doing and is glad our neighbor is paying some heed to its advice.
The Toledo Made sizes np the situation well when it says with refer-
ludi-
ana legislature in redistricting the State for congressional and legisla-
tive purposes:
The scoundrelly nature of the Democratic gerrymander of Indiana should he realized by the people of the United States. The State gave Harrison a majority in 1888 and elected a Republican Governor. The vote was ‘270,000 Republicans to 207,00 Democratic. Even in the tidal waw, yearof 1890, the congressional vote was 210,144 Republican to 288,920 Democratic, but the legislature has just carved out ten sure Democratic Congressional districts to one sure Republican and two doubtful districts. Even should the Republicans secure the two doubtful districts, the apportionment would give them only one Congressman for each 90,000 voters, while the Democrats would have a Congressman for each 20.700 voters. The time is rapidly coming when Congress will be compelled, in the interests of justice and honest representation, to take full control of the districting of the various States.
Anyone who knows the Star-Press editor’s propensity for greed doesn’t place belief in the announcement that he ever in his life refused “double price” for an advertisement. He rnns after money, and his paper is full of liqnor license notices immediately before each session of connty commissioners’ court. He takes this branch of business under his special charge to such an extent that he
keeps tab on the saloon licenses and and news giving.
The wonderful new writing Telegraph Machine was successfully operated between Indianapolis and Crawfordsville Sunday. By it messages are sent and received in the sender’s own handwriting. The machine worked with perfect success throughout, notwithstanding the fact that they were never put together until last Saturday, and Sunday the first current was passed through them. The conditions were very bad, also, Sunday for such a test, but the machine surmounted all obstacles. Those who were present expressed themselves as entirely satisfied with the work of the machine, and it may be accepted as an assured fact that a company to control and operate the writing telegraph in Indiana will soon be organized in In-
dianapolis.
OUJi DAILY.
On November 3, 1889, the first issue of our daily was made under the name of the Daily Sun The paper was a model home daily with full telegraph service. It was placed before our people, subscriptions solicited, and some two hundred and fifty of our citizens subscribed. From that date on to this the list has varied but little, sometimes going over three hundred but oftener under that figure. Without any feeling of egotism or self-pride, we think that we made the paper a success in point of merit

Governor Hovey has issued the following notice to the Auditor and Treasurer of Slate concerning the
Legislative appointees:
You are hereby notified that the following persons, pretending to be State officers, towit: John Brodie, Dr. Zachariab, H. Houser. Perry H. Blue. J. J. Smiley, W. A. Hale, Columbus Marsh, Floyd Parks, David Holt, John B. Stoll, and Joseph L.

her interment nt Forest Hill cemetery and the funeral discourse to bo preached by Elder Frank, of Terre Haute, All her requests were earned out. Even when the wings of death were hovering over her; when the power of speech was almost gone, she was the same, always kind and thoughtful of those about her, showing to those with whom she came in contact the beautiful traits that characterize the
true Christian.
For sometime she had expressed to those about her the bright hopes she entertained for the future -when the weary waitings and watchings are over. Diseased ad battered life’s bark, and its sails wore riven and torn, but she still looked fearlessly forward to the land that is bidden from our vision in‘'far furlded mist.” The darkest sorrow broods over the lonely and desolate home; but the silvery lining of so dark a cloud is the fact that she realized her condition and was willing, even anxious to go. One by one she called the friends to her bedside to bid them good-bye; admonishing them to lead the lives of Christians. As we write this how many hallowed associations connected with her life time come thronging upon the mind. At the touch of memory’s wand scenes that have vanished like fancy’s fairy frost-work start up in all their freshness almost overpowering us, but “There is a world above. Where parting is unknown, A whole oternit3 T of love. Formed for t he good alone; And faith beholds the dying here. Translated to that happier shore.”
