IT is reported that Secretary Carlisle has been offered a law position at a salare of $25,000 per year. He has decided accept, which shows "sound money" udgment far beyond anything exhibited by him in the management of the government's finances.

THE severe frosts of this month have caused the closing down of the fruit jar glass factories to June 1st instead of July 1st as heretofore. Orders for fruit jar a are being cancelled right along |and a number of men while the prospects were bright-will lose considerale money.

THERE is to be a new Democratic morning ruily .started in Louisviile, Ky., by Democratic believers in.silver to buck the influence of the Courier Journal an administration organ. A new Democratic daily has been started in Chicago, the Chronicle, and there is talk of another. There is also talk -of another .Democrat daily in Indianapolis as Consul Morses' paper does not altogether suit all Indiana Democrats. Yerily the Democrats are not in accord on any of the leading issues of the day. Discord dwell3 among them and they are doomed to defeat in 1896. The way*-of the transgressor is hard. 'The party has not been able to keep its anises to the people. They have failed iii managing the government.

MAT 30th is the one day of all the year given up wholly to the Union soldiers who fought so valaully and so well that this Nation might be preserved one and inseparable. In our beautiful cemeteries each soldier's grave Is marked with the stars and stripes and small though it may be it is as truly emblematical of this Nation's greatness and glory as is the largest flag on earth. Guided by these flags each little hillock above a dead soldier is decked with its annual offerng of beautiful and fragrant flowers. Greenfield is as usual doing honor to the Nations dead and early business houses and residences were decorated with flags and bunting appropriate to the occasion. Business was practically suspended and all united in honoring the heroes who fought that the Nation might live. Long may the memories of the great deliverers be cherished and reverenced that their examples may be emulated by the boys and girls whose parents even first saw the light of day since the great Rebellion.

THERE are papers speaking out against the municipal refortn movement that has caused the resignation of Police Supt. Byrnes of New York, whom they proclaim the greatest thief taker the world ever saw. It would have been a very weak-kneed reform movement that did not knock him out. After the conviction of policemeu, inspectors, commissioners and even police judges of wholesale corruption and debauchery it showed that Byrnes, the superintendent, either knew of it and connived at it or was thoroughly incompetent. In either case he ought to go. Byrnes' greatest record as a thief taker seems to have been in driving out the bunco steerers, snatchers of pocket books and green goods men, who infested the lower end of Wall street and preyed alike upon the brokers and unsuspecting countrymen, who were walking into the tigers den of speculators. The brokers, out of regard for Byrnes, who made the way clear so that said guilless and unsuspecting countrymen could get into Wall street and there fall easy victims in stock speculations, gave tips to Byrnes, whereby he cleared $350,000 in lucky stock speculations. The brothers thought one good 'turn deserves another. It was the proper thing for Byrnes to go.

THE citizens of Greenfield and Hancock county do not talk half enough of our advantages. AS an agricultural CO, Hancock county ranks with the very best in the State and in addition we have natural gas, gravel pits, an. abunJance of good water splendid^ roads, fine brick school houses and a thrifty iudastrious h&PPy> prosperous people. Many other advantages could be enumerated but the above are sufficient to show why our prai&es should be sounded abroad. Greenfield also has many splendid talking points all known to citizens. First it is the county seat of Hancock which has all of the above enumerated advantages of which Greenfield has her share. The city is healthy, has fine streets, flue walks, fine residences, splendid business rooms and others being built good school houses and churches, and a fine new church and High school building to go up this year, also a magnificent Masonic Temple, water woyks, electric lights, numerous successful factories, with hundreds of well paid workmen: active, progressive, euterprislng and successful badness men, with fine lines of goods a pop alar and efficient school superintendent, with a splendid corps of teachers popular, able and pleasing preachers, a fine body of citizens and a host of other good things, which it would be well for all the world to know. More pains and expenses should be taken that the world might know the above facts. It would add thousands to our population and hundreds ot thousands of

ulari

our

men—competent judges—vay that Greenfield is holding her own autl making progress on a safer basis than any other city in tie State during the hard times. Hard tiirns have not affected our people as they have those elsewhere, as we practically hr.ve not felt them. Other cities have greatly profited by advertising their advantages and so should Greenfield. The best way to do thia is by a general and conceited movement all along the line in a jblic way. the Board of Trade and other citizens take the matter up.

POWJiK A KI) WEALTH.

Tlie United IStales Surpasses All Otlier Countries. NEW YORK, May 29.—The English statistician, Mitchel, G. Mulhill, publishes in the June number of the "North American Review," just issued, an article on "The Power and wealth of the United States." Mr. Mulhiil's conclusion is that if we take a survey of mankind.in ancient or mo:iern times as regards tlie physical, mechanical and intellectual force of nations, we find nothing to compare with the United States in this present year of 1895, and that the United States possesses by far the greatest pioductive power in the world. He asserts that the absolute effective force of tlie American people is now more than three times what it whs'in 1830, and thatahe United States possesses almost .as much energy as Great Britain, Germany and France collectively, and the ratio falling to eac'a American is more than what the Englishmen or Germans have at their dis posal.

He points-out by a careful comparison betweeu the conditons in these different countries that an ordinary farm hand in the United States raises as much grain as three in England,.Four in France, five in Germany, or six in Austria. One man in America can produce as much flour as will,feed 250. whereas in Europe one man feeds only thirty person*. Mr. Melhill calls special attention that the intellectual po^er of the great repeblic is in harmony with the industrial and mechanical, 87 per cent of the total population over 10 years af age being able to read and write. "It may be fearlessly asserted," says he,"that in the history of the human race no nation ever before possessed 41,000, 000 instructed citizens."

The writer sets forth in regard to the growth of the wealth of the United States that the average annual increment from 1821 to 1890- was $901,000,000, which sum is $1,000, 000 over the total wealth of Great Britain. Classifying the whole wealth of the Union under the two heads of urban and rural, he finds that rural or agricultural wealth has only quadrupled in forty years, while urban wealth has multiplied sixteen fold. In an important series of figures it is shown that the "rise in wealth and the increase in wages came almost hand in hand." In dealing with the development of farm values, Mr. Mulhill makes the following statement: "If the United States has no urban population or industries whatever, the advance in agricultural interests would be enough to claim the admiration of mankind, for it has no parallel in history.

We commend the above statistics to any one who believes in the United States taking her.cue altogether from England in regard to trade and financial policies. England, during the time the United States has so far out-stripped and surpassed her in all that -goes to make a Nation happy, great and prosperous, has stood for free trade and gold monometdlism, which is the policy of the few against many, while the United States has stood for protection and bimetalism. There hns been, in the last few years, a considerable number of persons, especially the anglo maniacs of New York, who have wanted the United States to adopt England's fi :rade ai gol'o policies, but the great disasters and distress brought by such action even to a slight degree has taughth's country an excellent lesson. What this country wants is protection, bimet alism and pr osperity.

To Delegates to National League Couveutlou aud to the Republicans of Indiana.

The eighth annual meeting of the Republican Lincoln League of the United States will assemble in National Convention in the city of Cleveland, Wednesday, June 19th, 1895 at 10 o'clock a. m., and will probably continue its sessiou for three days.

It is expected that this will be the largest and most enthusiastic meeting yet held in the history of the League. Nearly all the great leaders will be present and all the meeting will be addressed by the most eloquent speakers in] this country.

There will be excursions to Put-in Bay, Niagara Falls and other points,and a banquet will be given by the citizen of Cleveland, in honor of the visiting delegates. This will probably be the last National gathering of Republicans previous to the convention of 1896, aud the plans formulated and adopted there will be of great interest and importance. The indications are that the State will send a large delegation.

Since the organization of the 'League, Indiana has had more and better clubs than any other State in the Union. Indeed, so splendid and effective has been our organizations In this State, that the Democratic leaders who at first ridiculed it, now with their customary habit of imitating Republican action, and waiting nntil they do it, are seeking to fol-

leaders, tboy are they are as usual, at least thirty years in our rear. On account of the low rates which have been secured, and iu order that Indiana may have a large representation at Cleveland, we respectively invite, and earnestly urge the delegates who have been selected, and all Republicans who can irake it convenient, to attend.

The executive committee has designated the "Forest City Hou.se as headquarters for the Indiana delegation." The rates will be $2.50 to $3 00 per day, according to location of rooms. The hotels are excellent and numerous and parties desiring cheaper rates can secure good accomodations for $1 50 per day.

The General Trnfiic Asscciatiou has made a rate of one fare for the round trip, and tickets can be purchased at that rate on all trains leading into Cleveland. The C. C. & I. (Big Four) Ry., has been chosen as the official route. The official train will leave Indianapolis at 6:25 p. m. June 18i,h. Tickets will be sold at one fare for round trip and good on all trains on tho 18th aud 19tb, but all who can conveniently do so, are requested to go on the official train.

Any further informat:on desired, will be cheerfully furnished by addressing the ecretary 19£ N. Meridian street, Indianapolis. Yours truly, J. J. HIGGINS, Sec, M. R. SULZUR, Pres.

Tlie Democratic Trustees Meet anil lie-e-lect Quitman Jackson County Sup

erintendent.

Today the trustees met in the auditors office to elect a county super, nlendent as they claim the law passed by the Republican legislature placing the election of superintendent in September to be null and void. We don't know when they W'-re made judges in the matter but as self elected judges settle no question of law the election does no harm. Trustee R, J. Sample, of Vernon, was selected as chairman and auditor Boring by virtue of hi'* office was clerk. Trustee W. H. Thompson, of Center, nomiaated Quitman Jackson for superintendent and as there were no other nominations he moved that Mr. Jackson be elected unanimously but Eph Marsh who was there supervising matters suggested that an aye and no vote was the proper thing aud it resulted in seven votes for Jackson and he was declared elected.

The Republicans Mr. Toms, of Blue River, and Mr. McKown, of Jackson, refrained from voting as there was no law for an election now. A large number of Democrats of the connty feel that they were fairly beaten and should j.ot attempt to bang on to an office they are no entitled to and the men trying to hold on will find it unpopular. We understand elections were held in a number of counties today aud that a test case will be made of the election in this county and Mr. Jackson will be represented by Marsh & Cook an4 Felt & Jackson. Personally Supt. Jackson is a clever gentleman and has made a good saperidtendent but he Is an extremely bitter partison whom the Republicans will retire to private life this fall by electing a school superintendent who will be In every particular worthy and well qualified to look after the schools of the county.

The Laboring Man Speaks.

MONON, IND., May io, 1894.

Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: GENTS—I think it my duty to send this statement to you of the benefit I have received from LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I have been afflicted for twenty years with stomach trouble of the severest nature. Would have seasons of the severest suffering from one to two months at a time. Between these times of suffering was never longer than three months. There was never any time that I was entirely free from misery more 01* less. These spells of great suf* fering would sometimes come on with sickness and vomiting, and other times would come on in form of rheumatism, but would finally center itself in my stomach. I have doctored with a great many physicians, but none of them could tell me what the trouble was. I was unable to get relief until I got LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. It is now sixty days since I began taking this medicine, and am now for the first time in twenty years free from pain and misery. I am compelled to say it is a blessing to a poor man.
