FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1889.
LET the laws be enforced.
THE Mayor of Chicago is whooping the gamblers up.
THE New Castle Courier is making war on the gamblers of that city.
FRANK T. CRUMP, the wealthiest citizen of Bartholomew county, was arrested •v on Monday, because one of his rented buildings in Columbus was being used for gambling purposes.
THE City election, on Tuesday, was one of the quietest ever lield in Greenfield, The day was was hot and there was but little pulling and hauling.
A COUPLE of Republicans, saloon Republicans, in giving their reasons for supporting uie .Democratic ticket straight said, "we simply stood by the men who stand by us."
IMPROVING ones condition in life seems I to be the great desire of this age. It. is a noble desire, provided that while iniproving our own condition we also assist others in bettering tlieir's.
OUR people are rejoicing, this month, because it is the first of the five months for free gas for heating stoves. Only gas for cook stoves and for lights will be c', iie:l Lor 'r now until October first.

MANY of the citizens are anxious to have the Council take steps for tlie imJj provement of the alley run 11 in. from
j'f Osage street, at Squire Barnett's, to Main street at the postoflice. It is extensively used and should be improved.
JF' IF ive set around like bumps on a chunk and wait until all the other counties jj| around us have made their pikes free and [|i drawn our trade, before we make our roads free, we will want some one to is kick us vigorously and unanimously. We shoiild be pioneers in the matter. Look
fit
to the matter at once. W ON Sundays, the alley running east and g: west between the court-house square and
Pennsylvania street, is said to be fre1- quented quite numerously by men after ||their "Sunday Bitters.Let the Prose1 cuting Attorney, the Marshal and the
Mayor keep their eyes on the above mengtioned alley. The laws should be en!forced.
WF. understand some Republicans are not satisfied with the expressions conceruthe support of the Democratic ticket by the saloon and gambling element, irrespective of party which appeared in last week's REPUBLICAN. Some even go

so,far as to say that the hits in the REPUBLICAN caused their action. The RE1 PUBLICAN came out on Friday evening and they had been talking and working against the ticket nearly three days so [that excuse is a little too thin.
THE Postmaster-general and the Attor-ney-general are 'forninst" the lottery (business. They will see (hat pui'ties us1 ing the mails for unlawful purposes are ^prosecuted. As lotteries are held to be unlawful, persons using the mails in purchasing, paying for and sending lotterytickets, are liable to prosecution. The
Louisiana State Lottery will be looked after and many guileless Indiana suckers will be prevented from losing their money.
THE Republicans who bolted the ticket |Tuesday try to find an excuse for their conduct by saying that the convention |was packed against thorn. They say that SRepublicans were out at the convention that never came before. These bolters were willing to go into the convention |and if they had succeeded in nominating the men they desired they would have I'been loud in their denunciations had any j. Republicans not been satisfied with their Jf-work. They have previously said why don't you conic to the convention and vote 'for your men and then you will be satisfied we GO to the convention and then staijd by the ticket. In the present ease they went to the convention and then bolted.
Beautiful building lots prices low, and payments easy, Johnson & Sparks. _19t3
THE last Legislature made six jurors the full panel before a Justice of the Peace, but by consent a case can be tried by a less number.
THERE was a cyclone in Stafford County, Kansas, the first of the week, which resulted fatally to 14 persons, and injured about 30 others and destroyed many thousands of dollars worth of property. Indiana is good enough for us.
TH"ERE was not enough interest taken in the City election, Tuesday, by the leading Republicans. Uood hustling would have been productive of better results. Now do not go to work and blame somebody else for the result before you fully investigate the fact as to whether you did your level best or not for the ticket.
PARTIES owning imported stock, horses, bulls, jacks, etc.. should remember that the Legislature passed a law giving them alien on the progeny of the sire. But before they can get their lien, they must register their stock. The Governor will probably issue his proclamation to-day, which will put the law in force.
THE suits brought by the Prosecuting Attorney of Tippecanoe County against a number of citizens for failure to list property for taxation, has resulted in a finding for the State. The penalty in the case of James Sharpe was $635, and the others in like proportion, the collection of which, however, is distinct from the levy of taxation. The prosecution has created a great stir in Tippecanoe County, as there a multitude of additional suits to follow.
We wonder if all our Hancock County people are safe.
IF the editor of the Greenfield REPUBLICAN is a Christian gentleman, and therefore a truthful man, the great majority of voters of Greenfield are sots and gamblers, which statement is correct —Democrat.
WE should like to see a statement made by the REPUBLICAN which either indicates or implies that the majority of Greenfield's voters were sots and gamblers. We said, and say again, that, the saloon keepers and gamblers, as a class, supported the Democratic candidates last Tuesday. There were, however, a large number of good men who talked loud and long against the whiskey business that supported the same ticket. Oh yes, there are many decent men in the Democratic party, but the name of the editor of the Democrat would not appear in that list.
THE Democrat made a vicious, personal attack 011 the editor of this paper this week. It is too contemptible to be notic0
1
We do not care to enter into a blackguarding contest with the editor of the Democrat, for, as a blackguard he has few equals. He has no gentlemanly qualities that prevent his insulting his readers. We would feel mean and ashamed of ourself after a contest with him, because his character and person are such that a gentleman after contact with him would be in the condition of the man who was dressed nicely, with boots blacked, etc., and walking along the street, who, when he chanced to see a dirty-looking dog lying 011 the sidewalk, gave it a vigorous kick: the dog ran oil', howling, although not hurt, but the man fell in his own selfrespect, dirtied his boots and did no good. The editor of the Democrat seems happy in his filth. Let him go.
THE editors of Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska vie with each other in making seductive appeals to the boomers of Oklohoma who are not suited with that region or got left in the scramble for claims. According to the respective accounts, those States are flowing with milk and honey, and are full of fertile lands waiting for settlers to come along and take posession—after the preliminary of paying the present owner a' 'mere song.'' After reading these articles, the wonder is that the owners could be persuaded to part with such slices of paradise at any price. Oddly enough, too, boomers have passed through these very regions, and have been apparently unmoved by the boasted attractions. Some of them, indeed who hail from Indiana confess to have seen nothing that will bear comparison with the Hoosier State. By the way, there is no better place for people in search of homes to come than Indiana, and a general invitation is extended. It is much better in every way to come here than go West.—Sunday Journal.
Tuesday's Klections.
Many surprises were brottght about in Indiana by the indifference of men to party lines and voting for the party which they believed would give them the best government.
In Ft. Wayne, where the Democratic majority is over 2,000 the Republicans elected their mayor by 1,100 majority.
In Terre Haute, New Albany and Shelbyville, all Democratic cities, the Republicans won the day because of the corrupt practices of the Democratic ringsters.
In Kokomo, the Republicans were defeated as they were in Richmond, both Republican cities. In Kokomo, by 27 in Richmond, by 03.
In Greenfield, we are sorry to say men ignored party lines, not because they wanted better city government but because they wanted worse. The bolting Republicans said that thejy proposed to stand by their friends. Mayor Herron and Marshal Porter have not been vigorous in their prosecution of the saloon and gambling element, and that element in the Republican party stood by them. We were surprised however that men who profess to be opposed to all such business should vote the Democratic ticket and thus assist the saloon element to carry the eleca a

Indianapolis merchants and business men have awoke to the needs of free gas in order to enter into competitive ring with other towns in securing manufactories and they are now making a strenous effort to raise money to lay a pipe line for that purpose. Noblesville, out of necessity, is the field from which they must draw their support if our farmers and land-owners are foolish enough to sell their gas at the very low prices they have been getting. As far as Indianapolis is concerned Noblesville holds the key to the gas business. If our people will remain firm and emphaticly refuse to deal with these skinning corporations the factories will come to Hamilton county and we will get the benefits of the trade of their employes and besides get a decent price for our gas. Noblesville alone would not be the recipient of all the benefits, but Sheridan, Cicero. Arcadia, Atlanta, Fisherburg, Cannel, Westfield and all the towns in the county would be able to offer splendid inducements under such circumstances. Nature lias bestowed her richest blessings on this county and we should derive the benefits instead of practically giving them to Indianapolis. When an agent of one of these corporations comes to lease your land, ask enough to make it impossible for them to pay. A good gas well is worth §1,000 a year, and land-owners are foolish to lease for any less, and should the lease for any less, and should they lease at that price they should have an attorney to draw up the papers and make it binding on the company as well as the land-owner.
The past experience of our farmers are evidence conclusive that we are right in our stand in this matter and we believe that all except the sharks interested in the companies will stand by us in our stand in this question. No more wells should be drilled into the salt water simply because the leases were higher than the hoggish company thought they should pay.
The safest way is not to lease at all for a time at least.—Noblesville Journal. The people of Indianapolis also have their eye on the Hancock county gas field, which is one of the best in the State as gas is found in every locality in this county. The above arguments apply to Greenfield and the prosperous towns of this county as well as they do to Noblesville and the towns of Hamilton county. Farmers should stay with their gas and eventually build up this county and have it dotted with manufacturing establishments. It is the paying policy in the long run. If any foreigner wants our gas let him pay a good round fair price for it.
