WHAT do the people of Greenfield think about a city park!1 If one or two of our rich and enterprising citiz?ns want to build a fine monument while they live and have their memories always kept green by a grateful public, it would be easy to find a way.

THE police at last seem to have some tangible evidence against H. H. Holmes, the wholesale murderer, and ?he will probably ,be hung, which won't be half punishment for such an incarnate fiend. He profess.e3 to be a believer in Ingersoll and Tom Paine,-and may not be afraid of the hereafter, but we will guarantee his slumber is not and never will be very sound or peaceful.

THE little city of Peoria, in Illinois, is spending right nw $t00,000 for parks and boulevards and proposes to expend $600,000 more and secure among other things a beautiful park of 7000 acres. Peoria has profited by the object lesson presented by Chicago and has manifested a belief iu the maxim that what is worth doing at all is worbh doing well, with the additional proviso thao it is worth doing at once.

COL. WW. O BRADLEY and Gen. P. Wat Harding, the Repuolicau and Democrat candidates for Governor of Kentucky, have arrangements for holding twelve )int discussion--. Col. Bradley is a gold man on a gild platform. Gen. Hardin is a Silverman on a gold platform, and Senator Joe Blackbnrn, who wants to go back to the Senate, is a free silver coinage man, aud iu his bushwacking style is shelling tb.e woods and giving it to the ClevelandCar]isle«c3mblna*ion in great style. The chances favor Col. Bradley's election.

JUDGE TAYLOR, of the Vigo Circuit Court, at Terre Haute, has decided that there are defects iu the clauses of the Nicholson law, providing penalties for violation, that render it inoperative. The judge was of the opinion that a man had to be found guilty of violating all the provisions of the law before he conld be fioed, as the law was so worded he could not be convicted and fined for the violation of one provision. Out upon such a frivolous tecnn'cality it is too poor an excuse, Judge Taylor's decision may not count for much, as he has been somewhat unfortunate in having a large number of his decisions over-rated by the Suy-"'*' Cwtiffo

}OU,

EVERY slur or attempted slur on onr city er its citizens injures the city to borne extent. The evil thing will some way stick somewhere and cause some injury, though it be ever so small. The Democrat of last week in speaking of our new city building on North street referred to it as going up on "Chicken avavenue," and in that way attempted to bring both the street and the building into disrepute. The facts are, North street is one of the best and handsomest streets in our city, and during the past year or two has made the greatest advance of improvement of any street in the city. It is longer than any other street iu the city except Main, and has cement sidewalks 011 both sides, and is, all things considered, the best street iu the city, for both walking and driving. On this street are the third ward school building, the city building, the new $20,000 Curistian church, Marshall T. Smiths new brick block, the new first ward school building might also be said to be on this street, as the school property runs from Main to North street, the new $29,000 High School building will be on this street. Mayor Duncan, Councilmen J. B. Moulden, Z. T. Morford and W. N. Vaugun ali own handsome homes on this street, thus showing it to be a street of political povver and influence. Tnere are also a large number of other handsome residences on North street owned and occupied by soma of our most enterprising and leading citizens, who resent the attempted slur on their street and place of residence.

THERE is a great hue and cry o«er the strict enforcement of tie excise law in New York City on Sunday. The big brewers c'aim they are $165,000 poorer each Monday on account of it. There are a lot of men whose families cannot well afford to do without what that money would buy, are that much richer each week. Better save the money for the mothers and babies than to give it to the big breweries any way. Theodore Rosevelt, president, and the other members, one of whom is Col. Fred D. Grant, of the New York Police Board, believe that the laws were made to be obeyed. All officials should understand that n,otbiDg is so popular in a community as pluck and courage and a fearless performance *»f duty. Such a course wins the approbation of this commuuity and makes converts to the cause of law and order.

A FEW months ago there was considerable excitement about some county Superintendent Southeast of Indianapolis selling the questions for teachers examination. The trouble has broken out anew, as some questions have gotten out unlawfully in the same section. State Supt. Geeting has now concluded to send out the questions in linen lined envelopes sealed with the seal of the« state and must be opened by the county Superintendent in the morning of the examination in the presence of at leMt three teachers who will certify that thfe

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN THURSDAY

IT is estimated that the American people have invested $25,000,000 in bicycles this year, and that the demand for wheels in the next twelve months will be about 700,000. Meantime horses are selling in Idaho at $15 a dozen, with horseless carriages looming up to the horizon.

RICHMOND business men, tired of high insurance rates, are organizing to insure themselves on the co-operative plan. The trend of the timps is in this direction. All private companies must make profit, while munications can work for cost aud operating expenses, and hence more cheaply. The principle applies to water, light, streets, roads, etc and it rests upon safe and sound reasons.

THE Democratic tariff policy, as shown by the State Departments bureau of statistics, has increased imports from foreign countries. If we.] use mora foreign goods, we must use less that are home-made, and, therefore home workmen have had less work and foreign workmen have had more, while we'«have less money in proportion, as .we send it abroad to buy foreign goods. The .RJiblican plan is better, because it favors the American against the world.

THE NEW TRUSTEES.

TiJ)AY

THE NEW TOWNHIP GUAKI)IANS TAKE THEIR POSITIONS.

Tiiey Will Make Aunual Reports and Elect a Countj superintendent in September.

Today the new township trustees re all In and had their bonds already pre pared and were ready to assume the duties of their offices. The following are tie names and poetoffice addresses of the trustees of this county:

Blueriver, J. F. Coffin, Rep., Westland. Bran(.ywine, Charles Scott, Dem., Greenfield.

Brown, Philip K. May, Rep., Wilkinson. Buckcreek, John W. Griffith, Rep., Philadelphia.

Center, J. K. Henby, Rep., Greenfield. Green, Dr. W. A. Justice, Dem. Eden. Jackson, Allen S. Hill, Rep, Charlottesville.

Sugarcreek, Henry Pralich, Dem., New Palestine. Vernon, J.W. Trittipo, Dem. Fortville.

This is the first time in the history of the county that a majority of the trustees have been Republican. Several times there have been four, but las-t year's landslide brought in five and came near landing one or two more.

Monday, Sept. 2nd, it will be the duty of the trustees to elect a new county superintendent, and they will perform that duty. There are so far as heard from, three candidates: Walter G. Bridges, Center Capt. Lee O Harris, Center J. W. Jay, Vernon. The contest promises to be an interesting one. The trustees, after carefully considering the merits and qualifications of the candidates, should elect the man who will in their udgment bring the schools of the county to the highest point of efficiency. All of the candidates are well qualified, are good Republicans, aud the man who will best advance and serve the interests of the schools should be chosen.

The posting up and publishing of his report by each township trustee will cause every tax payer in the county to be conversant with the business of his township. This is right and proper as the tax payers furnish the money. They have a right to and should know just how this money is spent.

In answer to inquiries Attorney General Ketcham states that township trustees refusing to prepare and publish annual reports of receipts and expenditure?, will be subject to a fine. He says: "The act of March 7, 1895, requiring ownship trustees to publish annual reports, provides that every township trustee in thi* state, immediately after the taking effect of this act, procure, at the expense of his township, a book and on the first Monday in August of each year he shall post up a statement, and shall, withiu teu days afcer filing his report, cause a copy of his report in full to be published one week in a weekly newspaper, and shall be liable on his bond in the sum of $100 for failure to publish such report. "This act took effect on the 28th of June last, and certainly applies as fully to trustees now in office as any who may hereafter he elected. If a school supply house has recommended the trustee now in office not to make such a publication that fact should be reported to the prosecuting attorney of the county, which recommendation is clearly counseling the vi at on a

Mew Divorces Filed.

John F. flatikleman has filed a suit for divorce from his wife, Carrie, on the ground that she calls him vile names, accuses him of being a habitual drunkard, and numerous other vices which accusations he says, are entirely false, therefore he wants a legal separation.

Emma Weber says that her husband Harvey is very cruel in his treatment of her, and that is impossible for them to live happily together. She cays Harvey gets drunk, slaps her in the face, calls her vile names and otherwise abuses her. Emma is only 18 years old and Harvey 20.

Samples of it bi ought to this city aud examined by parlies who have been to AJartiusville pronounce it superi to that for famed and exc3l!i!i water. It is blue in color, ta-t.-s ilry an 1 has a sulphuretted lijdr' gfeu smell. The Martinsville mineral wells have proved r.hig bonanzi for ih.'.t oiiy and there is no reason why Greenfield roul! not b*i benefitted to a greater ext-ut, HS this city is nearer Indianapolis aud the rich northern aud central parts of the stale The lay of the land is such that by building a dam or embankment across Brandy wine aud the adjacent bottom land, a very largo artificial lake could be made which would add to. the attractiveness of our city as a resoit. The Blue lick water can be pumped and piped to any and all parts of our city and furnished with all its health giving properties to those strangera within our gates seekin? renewed strength and vigor. With the two new mo 'era and up to date hotels which will be built here soou, thera will be ample accommodation for a large number of guests. Greenfield is on the rapid advance, so let the ball be kept rolling. Among the things to bs dona to benefit the city is the erection of the two new hotels now in contemplation, arrangements made to secure the benefits of the Bine Lick water and the location and beautifying of a handsome park near the city.
