W. 8. MONTGOMERY, Publisher and Proprietor.

Circulation This Week,

THE anti-pass bill passed the house Jast Sffirarsday in flue style by a vote of 65 to 9. S2nng passes to legislators and judges as a vicious practice. It lays the holders sunder the suspicion of being influenced "fty them, in many cases wrongfully, but lodges and legislators should be like Ceaaar's wife, above suspicion.

THE "400" of New York are now engaged in getting ready for a cat show.

!3fhey

have had horse shows, cattle shows and dog shows and now come the high 'Talced brawlers of the back fence. Cat i&hows are held annually at the Chrystal Palace in London and that settles it for Ihe New Yorkers, It is "English Doneher Know." All known breeds of cats will be represented.

TIIE fee and salary bill was passed Thursday and put in the Governor's iiands. It is largely the re-enactment of tiro years ago, and is a better law than fthe previous one, but in a majority of sases the salaries could stand another big reduction, largely to the benefit cf the tox-payers. County officers, as a rule, receive entirely too large salaries, being About double what a majority of them «ould earn following their previous occupations.

In case any one should think the salary a county office too low for their valuable services there is no law compelling iliem to run for office, and they can therefore enjoy the great North American sights of a private citizen.

THE Senate, by a vote of 25 to 19, refused to oust Engineer Cain frotn his portion as engineer in the State House. The bill from the House ousted Tim Grif$in, the custodian, and all the Democratic employees, but an amendmnnt was worked in in the Senate enabling Cain to hold his place. This was done by •£ihe votes of all the Democrats and seven Republican Senators, viz: Baker, Boord, Collett, Cranor, McManus, O'Brien and Tail. Cain is the man who for years has ran a speak-easy" in the basement of the Jftftte House with his quart bottle that •sever gets empty. The Republican Senators who voted for Cain's retention will ao doubt hear from their constituents. It was a vote of which they should be ashamed.

HANCOCK county has been extremely fortunate in its Senator this year. We sire giad to say that Hon. Thos. K. Mull luts not been a dodger, he has always l&een in the Senate when the business earae up and voted right 011 every question. He can now meet his constituents "with a clear conscience, knowing that he &id his duty and represented them correctly and for their best interests. Some Senators voted right on measures they "were opposed to, because they knew ihey were going to pass. They sided in until the majority and voted contrary to Sheir own inclinations ajid the wishes of :®en whom they wanted to help even against the interests of their own constituents. They deserve but little credit ior such votes. They are, like men who 3ire honest only because they fear the law, 3Bot to be trusted. Mr. Mull voted right ^because he is an honest, upright, honorable, fair-minded man, Who looked after Ifte best interests of all his constituents. 2H© preferred statesmanship to partizanship. All honor to Thos. K. Mull, our Senator, he is all right.

drug store amendment to the

.HSicholson bill is a strong one and also a good one. The druggists who now take ftbe chances of picking up stray dimes by aelling or giving away liquor except up»n a physician's prescription stands a splendid chance of breaking into jail. It "will not be hard to convict if the officers of the law are disposed to do their duty »nd are assisted by the citizens of a com•jmraity who do not propose to see liquor aold unlawfully. We take it that the «toraggists will surely be detected for there will be two classes specially interested in looking after the matter, the temperance people and saloonists. We publish the amendment below. "It shall be unlawful for any spirituous,' vinous or malt liquor to be sold or given *way in any drug store in any quantity *icept upon the writteu prescription of a imputable practicing physician, not connected with such drug store, for each •ash sale or gift. Any person violating any of the provisions ef this section shall toe fined for the first offence the sum of $K5, and for the second offence in any sum not less than $100 nor more than $500 1© which shall be added imprisonment in county jail not less than ten days aur more than six months."

THE Democrats formerly made a great Aal of noise about the Billion Dollar Congress over which Thomas B. Reed jreslded. Now what are the facts in the case as to their actions in the lart two Congresses which they have controlled? 1'he appropriations of the Fifty-first Congrass, when Mr. Reed was Speaker of the Bonse, and the President and the Senate were Republican, were in ronnd numbers 1868,000,000, while the appropriations for ft* Fitty-Second Congress, when the House was Democratic and Mr. Crisp WM Speaker, were in round numbers H,027,000,000 and the appropriations for fMs Congress, with President, House and Senate all Democratic, are in ronnd nnm-

bers $990,000,000. But the annual interest on the bonds just recently sold will add $3,000, COO more which gives a total of $5,000,000 more than the Reed Congress. To which if were added the cost of the fortification act, Sundry Civil act, District of Columbia act and Naval appropriation act, the grand total would be swelled to $1,015,000,000. This enormous amount is appropriated after makng the pension appropriation $42,000,000 less than it was in the Reed Congress during Harrison's administration.

OlilTUARY. WILEY.

Eliza E., daughter of Joseph and Martha J. Dunwoody was born in Shelby county Ind., October 9, 1863 and was married to Francis M. Wiley, January 8, 1879. She died of pneumonia at her home in Paducah, Ky March 6, 1895, leaving her husband with six children and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The deceased had been an active member of the Friends' church for some time, greatly beloved, always manifesting in her life what she was able to say in death, "I am not afraid to die, thank God I a 111 ready." The remains being brought to this city on Thursday evening, were conveyed on Friday morning to the Mt. Lebanon M. P. church where funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mrs. Jessup, pastor of Friends' church, assisted by Rev. J. L. Barclay. The interment took place in the cemetery by that church.

COUNCIL CHIPS.

A Session of About the Usual Amount of Interest. The Springer Telephone Co. presented a plat of their proposed plant for a telephone system and exchange and it was approved.

Dr. Howard was granted permission to make a small frame improvement to his brick residence on Main street. J. B. Pusey was also granted a permit for a frame addition to the brick shop on East Main street, which he is using for marble and granite monuments.

A proposition was received from H. L. Strickland to trade the city 28 feet of ground on Main street immediately west of the Gant block, corner Main and Penn. streets, for the city lot on North street. This is a proposition which would give the city as central a location as could be secured for the city officers and the fire department. C. E. Kinder also submitted a proposition to rade 28 feet on East Main, adjacent to his brick barn, for the city lot on North street.

Clerk McKown was instructed to secure bids for some deep well pumps, which it is proposed to put in for the water works.

The city attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance under which the railroad company would station flagmen at the State street and Mechanic street cross ings. Also an ordinance to compel the owners to keep all chickens within their own enclosure.

W. S. Gant asked a permit to erect a magazine in front of his store room in which to store dynamite. Referred to Fire department committee.

The proposition of the civil engineering firm of of Philips & Goss, of jjMartinsville and Indianapolis, to draw up the plans and specifications for a complete system of Sanitary Sewerage for Greenfield was accepted. This bid was $500

There were a few other minor matters referred to the various committees which will come up later. About the usual number of bills were allowed.

DON'T WAIT

If in this world you wish to win And rise above the common chump, Take off your coat and pitch right in,

Don't wait, lay hold, hang on and hump. Don't wait until the iron's hot But make it hot by muscle, Don't wait for wealth your fathers got,

Take off your coat and hustle. Don't crowd, Just push.
