THE official records show that the

Cleveland administration expended $80,000 in collecting $77)000 of the income and then did not get to keep the $87,000. Counting the time wasted by Congress passing the bill and the Supreme Court in knocking it out it has cost the people of this country $80,000. No wonder the Cleveland administration runs behind about $5,000,000 a month.

EVERYBODY should beginright now to make preparations to attend the Hancock county fair next week. The managers say it w.U be the best ever held on the i»*ounds. Hancock county is deservedly toe her successful fttlra, and the people cone from all over Hancock and the adjoining CJunties to witness the splendid displays in all departments and fine racing. Although they have come from far and near the people have ftever gone home disappointed. This year they will be pleased better than ever as many new and novel features will be introduced.

As the Hoosier editors about 175 strong go to Atlanta October 7th, tae Board of Trade, Commercial club and Newspaper men of Louisville propose to give them a good taste of genuine Kentucky hospitality. A drive around the city and a banquet are on the bill of fare. The Mayor and President of the Chamber of Commerce say they will extend a grand Tennessee welcome with all that that implies at Nashville. At Chattanooga the Chamber of Commerce and Young Men's Business Club will see that the editors are properly cared for and that they see the sights of the city and vicinity.

THE teachers of the State are taking much interest iu the selection of County Superintendents, and well they should. The Indiana School Journal for August published an article concerning the." selection of County Superintendents, which is quite appropriate: "(Lawrence county held its institute beginning July 33.) Arnold Tompkins and State Supt. .Geeting were the regular instructors. Th9 expression was unanimous that the institute was the best ever held in the county. (County Superintendent Norman, is not a candidate for re-election, but the'decision of the Supreme Court may give him another term. He has been doing good work aud is an excellent man for the place. At the clost. of the institute a number of appropriate resolutions were passed. One deserves special mention. It was resolved that a person to be a county superintendent should be a strictly educatioa al mm and that teachers request the trustees to appoint such a man. It is strange that such a resoluoiiu should be deemed ?cess*ry. A body of trustee 1 that for political or selfih reasons should appoint a person as superintendent who did not stand among the le^liog teachers of tha C3anty are not worthy hold dublic office. In such ai appointment the highest interests of the children of the county alone should determine the choice. To appoint a man who is not a representative tetcher to stind at the head of the educational interest* of a county is a gross insult to every taacaer in the coanty and an ontrage upon the ohildrea and should not be tolerated

GRBMFIELIT REPUBLICAN THURSDAY AUGUST 22,

THE REPUBLICAN has for yean been persistant in the claim that Hancock was one of the best counties in Indiana and coming to the front very rapidly. In the past few years many counties that ranked ahead of us have been passed and and we are in the front ranks now with on'y seven counties ahead of us as returned by the county boards and several of them are ahead less than $1 per acre. We give the counties surpassing us in the order o' their valuation. Marion $50.07,Vanderburg$33.18, Shelby $33 11, Madison $30.33 Wayne $30.19, Hamilton $29.28, Rush $29 27 and Hancock $29.08.

Perry county is the lowest at $3.78 and Crawford next at $4 39. The average value of all the counties as returned by the counties is $19.15 per acre so that Hancock is more than 50 per cent above the average. With our. gas features, oil prospects and rich ^agricultural county Hancock county will continue right at the head of the procession. In flne brick school houses we are also at the front and next year when we get anew court house every citizen in the county may well be proud of the fact that be resides in old Hancock. Our county is a good one for agriculture, for stock, for gas, for oil, for free pikes, brick school houses, numerous and good churches, manufacturing industries, a good people and one of the best and most prosperous county towns in the State.

Our esteemed friend A'nos C. Beeson, of the Winchester Journal, and President of the Farmer's bank there, came over today for a visit with relatives in Blue River township. He was a welcome caller at the REPUBLICAN office. Mrs. Beeson accompanied him.

The new law in regard to a Township trustee posting a complete list of all his allowances and also publishing the same in a county newspaper of general circulation, is a good law. It will show to the people just where all the money goes and will prevent, if any man should be so disposed, extravagant or unnecessary purchasers. The law is in the interest of economy and th« people. 50,000 bushels of prime clover seed wanted, for which I will pay highest market price. WM. MARSH, 33t3 Willow Branch, Ind.

New Bros, delivered a load of flour to the Orphans' Home at Knightstown to day. This is only another demonstration that our merchants have a good reputation abroad is well as at home.

The county oratorical contest will occur in Masonic Hall Wednesdey night, Sept. 4. An admission fee of 10c will be charged to defray expenses. There are 11 contestants this year and County Superintendent Jackson says it will be the best contest ever held in the county. The contestants are making thorough preparation.

The county institute will be held the first week in September, beginning Monday, Sept. 2. The instructors are Prof. F. M. Mc Murray, Dean of the School of Pedagogy at Buffalo, N. Y., and Mrs. EmmaMont McRae, Professor of English Literature at Purdue University. Both rank high as instructors and this years' institute promises to be a fine one.

The Greenfield city schools will begin Monday, Sept. 16. The schools of this county in all the townships will begin Monday, Sept. 23.

There will be 132 teachers in Hancock county this year, and 145 or 150 holding teachers license. While Clinton and Madison counties are short on teachers for their schools, Hancock has a few extra ones who are A No. 1, and we should be glad to see them secure positions elsewhere.

Hon, L. P. Newby, of Knightstown, is building a brick livery barn on the site of the building belonging to Til Fish that burned recently. The new stable will be run by Girty & Son. Mr. Newby is one of Knightstown's most enterprising and successful citizens, and probably does more than any other one man thereto push his town to the front.

Prof. F. A. Cotton, Deputy State Superintendent, and wife, his sister, Miss Sallie Cotton and Miss Davis, of New Castle, were guests of his cousin, W. B. Bottsford, of the Citizens' Bank, over Sunday. Miss Cotton is private secretary to President John M. Coulter, of Forest University, Chicago, and will graduate there next year. She was his secretary while he was at the Indiana University.

The Heinzman Bros., of Noblesville, contractors for the new Mapon Temple, will be here Thursday and Friday. Parties desiring work can see them at the office of Charles Downing, Randall block.

With the best track in the country and liberal purses, the races can not be anything but interesting. Those who want to enjoy exciting raciDg should arrange to attend •he state fair, Sept. 16 to -1. 23dwtf

Spot Cash's hardware department is booming now, one day this week they sold a large bill of fence wire that went clear up to Lapell in the North part of Madison county. That Spot Cash store is a dandy sure. It still keeps up its reputation as being the cheapest store in his part of the Sta te.

When the County Superintendent of Green county asked those teachers who took a county paper to hold up their hauds, but six responded. He at once proceeded to give those who did not take a county paper a deserved scoring for the lack of enterprise and appreciation. He said that probably no other agency in the County was called on more frequently for favors, or responded more generously without money and without price than the County papers, and yet only a beggarly six did their part by taking the papers that helped them so often. We believe the papers of that County need a little scoring, as they showed lack of enterprise in pushing their subscription among the most appreciative and best paying class of patrons a county paper can have. The REPUBLICAN has nothing to complaiu of in this County. Nearly every teacher in the County is a reader of its columns, and we believe it is taken in the homes of four-fifths of them irrespective ot-party. We expect with our School Note column and other good news to merit and receive the patronage of the other one-fifth before Jan. 1st, 1896.

D. H. Goble has the plans and will erect a large brick potato house 25x45 feet on his farm west of the city just as soon as he cau contract with the brick layers. It will hold 5,000 or 6,000 bushels. He has 25 acres in potatoes this year and will probably have 2,000 bushels although this is not a good year. In his test patch he has 27 varieties and will be able to tell just how early the potatoes ripen and how they yield. Some of his yields have been as follows per acre: 87, 100, 206, 145, 188, 195 bushels. One po» tato, of the Lightning Express variety, weighed 1 pound and 15% ounces. Mr. Goble will make a specialty of raising line potatoes for seed. He Is getting a mtdel fruit ai&vsgetable farm, and also growling An* £wwf|
