THE crops of Hancock County promise a great yield this year.
JUDGE WOODS is not disturbed by the howling of the Democratic papers. He is a just Judge, who decides cases without fear or favor, and he cannot help if he hits the the Democracy occasionally.
PETITIONS will be presented to the Commissioners, at their June session, to make the toll roads leading into Greenfield free. We will then have a chance to vote on the question, and the toll roads will go as they ought to.
THE council will at its next meeting June 6tli, consider the questions of raising the saloon licenses. They should be raised to the full limit $250. Other towns are doing this. It increases the revenue and decreases the number of saloons, especially the worst class of them.
JOHN WAXAMAKER last week divided $44,000 among his employees. During the past year among the 400 employes who have merited a position among the profit, shows he has divided $104,000. The employe makes his employer's interests his own, and both working together, they
THE fine of $1,000 against Simeon Coy, has been remitted by President Harrison, and Coy will soon be free. Coy could not pay the fine as John E. Sullivan stole his property while he was in prison. Coy deserved his severe punishment and lie will probably not go into the tally-sheet business again. Remitting the fine was an act of mercy.
ONE year ago to-day we commenced our work with the REPUBLICAN". It has in many respects been a pleasant year. There have been many hindrances in the way of making the success desired, but the outlook for the succeeding year is brighter. Ye ask that our fellow Republicans, ii\ the County, stand by us and assist in making the REPUBLICAN one of the best County newspapers in Indiana.

A Military Company.
The Young men of Greenfield are taking steps to organize a Military Company. The new law allows §3.50 from the State treasury on uniform for each member, furnishes arms and §10.00 per month for an armory. It takes 46 to organize the company and tliey will be required to drill 24 times each year. The enlistment is for three years, but i£ necessary Ja d.scLarge can be obtained from the Governor before the term expires. There is talk of securing the rink for drilling, and also establishing a first-class gymnasium. We hope this will be done as it would be a splendid thing for the young men of Greenfield. At the meeting at the Court-house Monday night Harry Strickland, Harry Hume and Homer Bragg were appointed a committee to work the organization up. Encourage this movement.
Memorial Services at the Christian Cliureli in New Palestine Next Sunday—Sermon by Elder Love H. Jamieson
Next Sunday will be a great day for the Grand Army Veterans and citizens of New Palestine. Memorial services are to be observed in a becoming and also a grand manner. Elder Love H. Jamieson, of Indianapolis. one of the grandest old preachers in the State of Indiana, and a sweet singer in Israel, will preach the memorial sermon at the Christian church, at 10:30, a. m. There are 43 ladies who will represent the 42 States of the Union and tlie District of Columbia, who will march as an escort to the G. A. R. Post. They will sing the patriotic airs of the day, and also be accompanied by the Cornet and Clarionet Band, which will furnish the instrumental music for the singing. Each lady will carry a wreath and a flag. At the church each lady will recite a verse concerning the State she represents. Altogether this promises to be one of the most delightful affairs ever held in the County.

A St reel Fakir Arrestee! For mi Outrage on :i I.ittIi Gil'!. Clifford Dean, an employe of the "White Cloud" medicine company, which has been holding forth for some time at 24 W. McNabb St., is under arrest, charged with a very serious crime.
Dean came here from Chicago some months ago, claiming to be a character change artist, and is about 25 years of age. rapidly affiliated himself with the 'Indians' which constituted the agency, and soon donned the sombrero and long hair.
Monday afternoon the screams of a young girl in the rear of the White Cloud establishment attracted attention, and Dean was discovered trying to outrage the person of a thirteen-year-old girl named Faunie Goins, who lives at 198 S. Illinois st. Dean was arrested, and yesterday in court the girl testified that Dean took her by the hand and pulled her through the back door into the room, and throwing her on the floor attempted the outrage.
Dean after being placed in jail wrote a letter to Jack Morton, an employe of the place, which was secured by the police authorities and submitted to the court. It is as follows:
FKIEND JACK—I am here in jail and things look bad for ine, for god's sake come up here the minute you get this. I think I see a way out of it by fixing it

The Japanese Fourth oi' July. The 11th of last February was a sort of Fourth of July in Japan. On that day the new constitution was proclaimed, whereby the government was changed from an absolute to a constitutional mouarcy. Mr. William Elliott Griffs, author of "The Mikado's Empire," writes an explanation in the June Forum of the constitution whereby the Japanese take by far the longest step yet taken by an Asiatic people toward free government. The 80,000,000 common people now enjoy for the first time the protection of law and many of the rights of free citizens. There is both a property and an educational qualification of suffrage, and the House of Representatives consists of about three hundred members at least thirty years of age, who pay national taxes to the amount of fifteen dollars, and are chosen for four years. Fob. 11th was a day of great rejoicing throughout the Empire. Cities and towns were decorated, cannon was fired, and millions of copies of the new constitution were distributed. It was a day, too, of great meaning to Japanese women. For the first time the Empress appeared in public with the Emperor.
