IK TIIE spring elections so far, the big Republican elephaut has knocked the Democratic tiger out of the ring. The elephant is good natured but a hard hitter.

TUE last legislature positively refused to increase the taxes on saloon keepers but deliberately raised the State levy from 12 cents to 18 cents. With a saloon tax of $300 the State levy could have been reduced to 6 cents. How do tax payers like that plan.

DURING the first two years of Cleveland's administration the National de't was reduced $141,536,300, while during the same period of Harrison's, it has been reduced $265,000,000. The surplus was used instead of being stored in pet banks.

As the number of English emigrant to the United States was 1004 more in February of 1891 thau in the same month 1890, the English do not seem to be terrified concerning the effects of the McKinly bill on the people of the United States.

E. II. NEBEKER of Covington, Ind., has been appointed to succeed U. S. Treasurer J.N. Huston, of Connersville, who recently resigned.

sMr.

Nebeker is a farm­

er and bauker and an able business man.

WITH free sugar, an increased price for agricultural products and live stock, reciprocity treaties, new industries springing up over our couutry and dress goods, carpets, clothing, dry goods and ntions lower than ever before, the Mckinley bill is talking right along. The liar in the next campaign will have to get. up another scheme. __

The Earl Derby has the qnestionabl® distinction of owning more drinking places than any other Euglish peer. He has seventy-two of the places to his ci'edit or discredit, while the next largest owner is the Karl of Bedford, with forty-eight grog-shops. The Duke of Devonshire is but one behind Bedford, and so it goes through a list of 152 peers, who own 1,529 places whero liquor is soul and drank—-ill in "da.kest England."

STATE SENATOR WILLIAM L. BROWN and Editor of the New York Daily News, a paper with the largest afternoon circulation of any paper in the United States will be conceded by all to be a representative Democrat. It was at his table that Hill and Cleveland recently met with a number of other leading Democrats at a friendly dinner. W. L. Brown this leading Democrat spoke as follows concerning a bill which Republican Senator Ervvin had introduced for the benefit of the people: "It was a false representation, and instead of benefiting the people, injured the business of merchants in order to please A CLASS OF HOWLING DEMAGOGUES, THE FARMERS WHO, IF THEY STAYED AT HOME AND WORKFD THEIR FARMS, WOULD NOT NEED RELIEF." The farmers of New York and the country may read in these italicized lines the estimation in which they are held by the Democratic party leaders. No comments on Senator Brown's language can be stronger than their mere presentation in this relation.

THE people are becoming aroused on the question of taxes, and it is safe to say that the citizens of Indiana will not in 1892 elect another Democratic legislature notwithstanding the infamous gerrymander. For the past ten years the Democrats have controlled the legislature, and taxes have been high and the State saddled with a debt of $9,000,000. Next year the taxes will be higher than ever, and the burdens will fall the heaviest upon the farmers and the small taxpayers. The railroads which in other States are compelled to pay their share of the taxes, are in this State practically exempt from taxation. The 5961 miles of railroads in Indiana last year only paid $83,715 in taxor at the rate of just a little over $14 per mile. In Connecticut the railroads paid taxes at the rate of $665 per mile. Connecticut with 1010 miles of railroad gets $671,820 railroad tax, while with 5961 miles Indiana only gets $83,715. At the Connecticut rate we would get $3,965065 per year or more than enough to pay the expenses of the State. The Connecticut rate is somewhat high but New York gets $671,657 on railroads, and New Jersey $938,515 on her's. Even if the Connecticut rate is high, half the rate would be better than the present one in Indiana, and would bring in $1,982,532 per year. This exceeds the present amount by $898817, which is direct loss to the State and is borne by the taxpayers, particularly by the farmers. If tho Democratic legislatures had done their duty in the last ten years and taxed the railroads a reasonable sum as they should, wo would have had uo State debt to-day and the burdens on the farmers and other citizens would have been lighter. The free pas ses given the legislators has no doubt born rich results for the railroad corapa-

I

ONLY three States in the Union, Massachusetts, Conneticut and Rhode Island, require that their voters shall be able to read and write.

THE McKintey law has gone into effect, and a farmer can now buy more of the acutal necessaries of life with a bushel of corn, wheat or potatoes than ever before. Pr tection is on top.

Mrs. E. W. Halior I, wife of the Preslent's private Secretary, died in Washington City, Wednesday, from bronchitis and asthma. She will be buried in Indianapolis to-day.

THE last Legislature, instead of decreasing the number of officials and passing an effective salary bill, increased the number of officials and raised their salaries.

THE Democrats of the v\ est and South, have concluded that they do not desire a New York candidate for the Presidency again. Mr. Hill is now being pitched over the fence by some of his late admirers.

PRESIDENT HARRISON is now on his Southern tour and making some of the finest speeches ever made in this country. For a thinker on his part and as a ready President Harrisou has no superior in this country. He will make many friends.

THE F. M. B. A. of Clay county, with 41 lodges and a membership of 1248, at their county meeting on Tuesday, condemmed the fee and salary law, passed by the Democratic legislature. The truth is it is a delusion and snare and will increase the burdens of the taxpayers.

A FARMER in Wyoming on new soil, rich in potash and irrigated with water largely impregnated with saliue matter, raised 974 bushels of potatoes on one acre. It pays farmei's to mix lots of thinking with their work. Their crops will be larger, their stock of a higher grade and their prosperity and happiness increased.

Stanley delivered one hundred and ten lectures in this country on his recent tour and the average receipts were$2780., or a total of $305,800. A very snug sum for an hour and a half's talk each day for about four months. This rf course is to divided among the various theaters, Major Pond, the manager, and Stanley. Mr. Stanley, however, received $1,000 per night and expenses.

A NEW YORK paper represents the Farmers Alliance as a turkey dressed after the manner of Uncle Sam, with coat tails flying in the breeze, and a large number of Democratic politicians et al. trying to catch the bird by throwing salt on his tail. D. B. Hill is moving at a lively gait, and throwing spoils salt broad cast. Gen. Palmer has genuine Demo cratic salt, since 1872, Senator Gorman has corruption salt and is slyly watching his chance from behind a tree. Cleveland proposes to try his luck with mugwump sugar. Peffer is blowing homeopathic doses through a goose quill. Jere Simp son bare footed and brisk has the largest supply of salt which is being scattered more freely than any other, it is labeled "promises." Ingalls has dropped his demagogical salt and is sprawling in the dirt. The wily old bird will probably not be caught but may return home to roost.

THERE were two things wh ch the De mocrats promised the farmers they would do if tney had the majority in the last Legislature. 1st. they would reduce the taxes, and 2nd. they would reduce the rate of interest. They did neither. Both of these idea3 were advanced and demanded by the Alliance and F. M. B. A. Instead of reducing taxes they passed a law which increased the tax list at least forty, if not fifty percent, and the State levy was made 18 cents instead of 12 ceuts on the $100. This will just about double the State taxes, and as county taxes will also be higher, the farmers will have heavy burdens to bear next year in the way of taxes. The Democratic party has never made a success of the State finances, and the sooner the people vote them out of power thei better. Why blindly follow the Democratic party when it places such a grievous burden upon you. There were too many Democratic bankers, lawyers and doctors in the Legislature for the rate of interest to be lowered.

Clarance Archie, little sm of George Ulysses Grant Mills and Sarah Margaret Mills, departed this life Sunday, April 12, 1891, aged 1 year, 4 months and 10 days. Disease, brain fever. He leaves a father, mother, brother and many relatives to mourn his loss.

Christ will cheer thee art thou lonely? he is near thee all along this earthly road. The funeral was preached by Rev J. Heims, and the interrment at Curry's Cemetery.
