THE City Council has made its appointments and the REPUBLICAN abides by the will of the majority. "With malice toward none and charity for all" we shall go gloriously on.

THE fight for the city spoils was warm and active but there was scarcely any ill feeling engendered and very little personalities indulged in. Let there be no recrimination or abuse ol any man but let the party move on harmoniously.

THERE are a great many Democrats who say that the council did the right thing in appointing Republicans to take the place ot Democrats. A good Democrat is concientious on the question of to the victers belongs the spoils.

IT is reported that Secretary Carlisle has been offered a law position at a sal are ef $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.

SOME on remarked that the Republicans were quite mad' the last few days the way they worked for oity officers. They were not mad at all, they were in earnest however and took their coats off and hushed. They are in the best possible huii'"1.

IIILE it is the desire of the REPUBLICAN to see Republicans in "the city offices, it is not our desire to overlook the good of the public. Competency should be the first requisite of an officer but we have never found any Jplace where the Republican party was barren of good men for all public jobs.

Dn. S. E. ALLEN, of Cincinnati, who was employed by the City Council to examine the water used as a supply for 1 lieir water works, finds it to contain bacteria and commends it as unfit to use. —Tribune.

Some citizens here understood the above to refer to our water works and the water used here. It is Cincinnati's water supply which is bad. Our water is alright but we want it more abundantly.

SOME self-important Democrats are making a vigorous kick because Democarts were turned out of office by the council and their places filled by Republicans. They claim the council had no right to elect new officers claiming that their terms were as long as the city officers who were elected last May. Sucli talk is all bosh. The council had perfect right to do as thev did and we congratulate them on their work.

THE Knightstowu Banner, under the caption of "ThiDgs we would like to see. "says: "The farmers oi Southern Henry, Northern Rush and Ea tern Hancock counties organize a farmers' club to hold semi-monthly or monthly meetings to exchange ideas and give results of experiments in the growing of grain an fruit and raising of live stock." Such an organization would be a great benefit to the farmers and we are heartily

in favor of it. An interchanging of ideas among farmers would be of immense value, and we hope immeiiate steps will be taken to perfect the organization.

THE Council in its appointments last meeting did not do all that the Republish cans might have desired, but they did very

Well. Some people think that no one should be congratulated for doing their kduty, but we think differently. We think that council men, Beecher, Banker and It^Morford did the right thing last night and should be congratulated for it. Also

Mayor Duncan stood out for what he thought to be right towards his party and deserves the thanks of the Republicans of the city. We do not doubt but that Couucilmen Moulden did what he ,?• considered best in voting agaiust the partisan actions of the Republicans, but we think he was wrong. Mr. Moulden was elected by a party aud by party methods and politics. He was elected as a Republican, and it is just as proper that the office of Street Commissioner, City Attorney and others be filled politically as that a councilman be elected politically. All ot' the officers are simply servants of the people, and there is no distinction between an office of councilman and an office of Street Commissioner in that regard. It seems that Mr. Moulden, in his attenips to be nonpartisan, loses sight of the fact that the people have a right to takean inttreist in hid actions as Councilman. It is siinbly autocratic for a man in a jepresentative capacity, to attempt toabridgeor curtail these legitimite privileges of the people, or even of the party which placed him in the position. "When he served notice upon the spectator* °t the Council chamber last night thtt taey had etter keep hands off or they would p+

little yellow cur

(.'an bark at night and cause a stir, -p.* House the pious Iroui their beds, Set the world at loggerhead*. —Henry Nason Xinney. PEOPLE however have but little consideration or respect for yellow curs, especially those that are continuously barking around and raising disturbances. Some people are built on that basis though, and are always snarling and snapping around at people and things that do not concern them. These people not content with raising a disturbance themselves, try to draw others in to "their quarrels. They frequentlj'1 harass an editor|in their endeavor tojgei Jhimjto abuse people or policies that concern neither him nor the public to any great] extent. The REPUBLICAN is not a'chronic'^kicker, we do not believe that it pays. When the occasion demands however we believe in coming out vigorously and forcible and then ones objections, or policies ad vocated deserve and receive some consideration. Now if there are any who feel that certain men or measures are not receiving sufficient attention, either in a commendatory or a condemnatory way they are offered the use of the colutns of the REPUBLICAN to give their opinions, and we would prefer that they do this over their own name.

People have an idea that a news paper is run for the special purpose of regula ting the affairs of a city botb public and private. We have other views concerning a paper's mission. We think its first purpose is to give the news and then the editor as any other private citizen can give his opinion but there is no greater necessity or demand for him should express his opinion than other citizens should express theirs. We trust hereafter that no one will go round complaining that their views are not expressed in the REPUBLICAN just come right in wite out your ideas aud in they go. The REPUBLICAN believes in the greatest good for the greatest number and will advocate the policy which we bslieve will bring about that result.

A Charming Ana ISeuntitul We deling. HOUGH-MARSH. The handsomest wedding that ever occured in Greenfield was solemnized at the Presbyterian church, at 7:30 last night, the bridegroom beirg William Alfred Hough, eldest son ot ex-Senator William R. Hough, and the bride Ella Ruth, only daughter of Hon. Ephriam Marsh. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. W. Souders, pastor of tLe church, iu the presence of a large numbir of invited guests from this city and various other cities of the State. Those attending the bride and groom were Mr. Clarence A. Hough, of Chicago, brother ot the groom: maid of honor, Miss Madge Nolan, of Dallas, Tex. The bridesmaids were Miss Cieiia Newcomer, ot Tipton Miss Myrtle bniyser, ot Indianapolis Miss Pearle Jellnes, ot Soutoport: iiiss Jessie Hamilton, ot Greenfield. The groomsmen were Mr. Louis E. Latluop, ot Greensburg Mr. Robert, S. Tuomson, ot CJiawloidsviUe Mr. Harry Gray, of In dianapolis, and Mr. Alfred P. Conklm, oi. Greeulisld.

The bridal party entered the church as follows: Flower girls, Misses Helen Downing and Helen Cook, Miss Newcomer and Miss Jeffries, Mr. Gray and Mr. Conklin, Miss Hamilton and Miss Smy^cr, Mr. Lathrop and Mr. Tuomson, Mibj Marsh and Miss Nolan, Mr. Hough and Mr. Clarence Hough. The groomsmen who acted as ushers were assisted by Major E. P. Tiiayer, Jr., and W. S Montgomery.

The wedding march was played as the party came into the church and took their position befcre the altar tor tne ceremony by Barclay Walker, ot Indianapolis. At the close of the wedding ceremony tl bridal party knelt and repeated the Loro's prayer. The wedding was followed by a handsome reception at the home of the bride parents, on Nortii State srreet. Refreshments were served by Nickuni and a corps of waiters from Indianapolis. Both the church and the house were artistically decorated with llowers from Betterman Bros., the Indianapolis florists. The decorations at the house were lavish aud very beautiful and fragrant, the entire house being redolent with sweet perfume. 1 he bride's dress was ivory satin, rich with point lace. Miss Nolan wore white silk, aud the bridesmaids white over green. The newly married couple left lor Chicago ou the evtning train, and will make a two weeds' tour through the Northwest. They will make their home in Greenfield,

The wedding presents were numerous, rare and costly, consisting of a large quantity of solid silver, cuc glasp and fine ehiua. There were also a number of handsome checks, the presents altogether aggrugat ing $10,000. There were a number ot guests irorrf a djjflance, iucludiug ile.'.ry lucel mid wife, K.

THE COUNT* SCFJSBINTKNDENCY.

Jndge Offutt Holds the New Law Unconstitutional. As Auditor Boring, pursuant to airangements, and by the advice of the county attorneys, Felt & Jackson, refused to attest the record or receive and file Quitman Jackson's bond as county superintendent or recognize the legality of last Monday's election by the trustees. Mr. Jackson.brought suit in the circuit court in maudamus proceedings,~to campel the auditor to perform such acts. The plaintiff's attorneys are R. S. Stuart, John Kern, of Indianapolis, and Maash & Cook, of this city. For the defense, County Attorneys, Felt & Jackson, appeared. The case was filed ^yesterday morning and proceeded rapidly. The Auditor cited the act of 1895 as his reason for not acting, but the plaintiff demurred to the answer, and after hearing arguments, Judge Offutt held the law unconstitutional, as it seeks to Amend the 1865 act, which was amended and repealed in 1873. Auditor Boring, refusing to plead further, a writ of mandate was ordered and the defendant thereupon appealed the case to the Supreme Court, and the.appeal bond was placed at $500. The transcript was made out this morning the papers taken to Indianapolis and the case filed in the Supreme Court. Felt & Jackson will be assisted by AttorneyGeneral Ketcham. This is simply a friendly suit to test the constitutionality of the law- If the case ts affirmed, Mr. Jackson and all other superintendents elected Monday, will hold over two years.

Laat Day ot School.

Last Friday being the last day of school at No.— Vernon ^township, more commonly known as the Jackson school house many of the patrons, with friends and teachers from other places, gathered in to witness the exercises. The forenoon was spent in hearing the regular recitations after which the house was cleared that the ladies might spread the bountiful repast which they had prepared. While waiting lor dinner an enterprising photographer was found to be on hand aud so "shot" the entire group. Going back into the room two long tables were found to be spread. Here chickeD, gooseberry pies, fruits, cake and almost everything else that can tempt the liungry, especially one not accustomed to good country dinners, were found to be in season well seasoned. The afternoon was spent in hearing recitatious and songs by the school interspersed with some highly appreciated music ou the organ, accordion, violins and guitar furnished byMessrs. Wm. W-hitaker, Frank Gerode, J. L. Smith, S. A. D. McCord and Loren Helms. Mention should be made of a song by Master Omar Jackson, of Greenfield, which brought down the house. Speeches were made by Messrs. Jasper Cauldwell, Calvin Jackson, Ed Curry, S B/Prater and County Supt., that of Mr. Jackson being especially interesting from the many old reminiscences recalled, The teacher, Mr. John F. Wiggins was heartily tlnmked for the successful school he has taught after which all returned to tlieir homes feeling that the day had beea well spent.

Xhe Nc»v Laws Will Go into lifl'ect About June 20. The new laws enacted by the lust Legislature will go into effect about the 20th and the next three weeks will notice some changes in Greenfield. The billard tables will be brough^ out. the curtains taken down in saloons and a general transformation scene effected. The saloomsts put a great deal of hopes in the fi^ht that is to be inade by the brewers to test the validity of the law. State Printer Burford *ays the'laws will be bound on the 10th of the month. It will then take ten days to distribute them to all counties before the Governor can issue his procltmation.

Anderson Kejects dungs at liailwiiy Crossings. The Big Four Co. and the Pan Handle Co. were both very ciesirous of main raining elfctric gongs or bells at the railroad street crossings in Anderson instead of flagmen. Th9 couucil however rejected the gongs and ordered that flagmen be Uied at the necessary places. That is eminently proper and just what our council did and all other councils that care for the welfare and lives of tlio citiz2ns. Mr. John Laden the flagman at the Pdnnsylvania street crossing has certainlysaved two lives that of Mrs. Lafe Elsbury and John H. White. We gave an account ot the former recently. Iu Mr. White's case he saw the train go bjr and started across but it was making a running switch aud he would have been caught had Mr. Laden not rushed -across the tracks and caught his horse.
