IT WAS patriotism for the Democrats to attack the Republican apportionment law of 1895 in the courts, but when the Republicans attack the law of 1885 ia the same style, thats anarchy according to some Democrats.
REPUBLICANS! the campaign is now ou for 1896. The first steps are taken in securing good standard bearers. That kind of timber is in the Republican party from aspirants for council^imic honors to the presidential chair, Select the best men and winners.
1896 is a year of anniversary for both the Republican and Democrat parties. The Republican party was forty years old Feb. 22. The Democrat party however, can celebrate its one hundredth anniversary, this year. In 1796, Thomas Jefferson, was its first candidate for the presidency. It has changed its basi-t principles several times since then but still clings to the old name and traditions, especially the traditions.
FOB years the citizens of the United States ruthlessly destroyed and wasted tbe magnificent forests of the country. We are now realizing their necessity and benefit. A National Forestry Commision has been apolnted to see that trees are planted systematically and thoroughly cultivated. It will take years to do much good but by stopping the waste now immediate benefit would be derived. The REPUBLICAN is of tbe opinion that there should be a law in Indiana whereby every forty acre tract of land should have at least five acres of woodland. It tould be made as profitable, probably as other land if looked after properly. That matter should be brought to the attention of the nexc legislature. In France the highways are lined with fruit trees from which travellers eau refresh themselves and the
owners of I he *d j-icent land gathers the crop The French as a people understand the philosophy of life

The Store Moulders go Baclt to Work. This afternoon the stove moulders aad the management of the stove foundry met in the glass-worker's hall and arbitrated the difference in wages existing between them. By the settlement the moulders get a small increase in wages, and will begin work Monday.
Although we would have liked to have seen the men get the old wages restored, it is better, owing to the financial condition existing everywhere, that they go back to work, and also as we are told that the shop would have been run non-union if they had refused to resume work.
Councilman J. A. Moulden of the third ward, says most emphatically that he is not a candidate for reloectiou. Mr. Moulden has made a successfull councilman, one who has honestly and efficiently looked after the best interests of the city. Some persons objected to his policy of pushing public improvements but in the years that are to come they will be glad that the city had a councilman with the good judgment of Mr. Moulden who was fearless to do his duity as he saw it.
