The Republicans do not seem to be so wonderfully interested in Gerrymander as of yore.

If there are legislative employes in excess of the actual needs of the House and Senate, their services should be dispensed with, and that right speedily.

Since Cleveland’s election business has grown steadily better all over the country, and the feeling in business circles has grown more buoyant.

The Democratic party should remember that the words Tariff Reform are spelled with a big T and a big R. The people voted for it and they de mand it without useless and unnecessary delay.

There is wisdom in the proposition now being considered by the Legislature to change the time of the township election from April to November, thus making the general election cover the election of State, district, county and township officials. It is a move in the interest of economy.

Columbia College is ahead of DePauw in at least one branch—it has had a gambling room established for some time in the building devoted to natural science, and the students tried their hn k under the roof of alma mater ; DePauw’s students who desire to try their luck have to climb to second story rooms down town.

The statistics of Indiana show that 250,010 residents of this State hold stock in Building and Saving Associations ; a large proportion of this number, about fifty per cent, are women and children, and a majority of the remainder are workingmen. The total capital stock of these associations is |70,UOO,<KJO, only a small portion of which is paid in. Building and Saving Associations, according to State reports, have proven a great benefit to the State; through them thousands of people have been enabled to become owners of homes instead of renters, and this good result is more noticeable each year.

Love me, love my dog, is an old saying. It has been emphasised at Rushville, Ind., by two citizens who have spent $200 in litigation over a dog.

The city officials of Greencastle should not be weary in well-doing. The gambling business is still carried on here, and proper effort should be made to suppress it.

The Indiana Legislature can do itself credit and benefit the State by enacting the necessary laws and ad journing—there is no necessity for nursing the business and causing an extra session.

We have not beard of any of the Republican Legislative Solonstalking ferninst the new tax law in Indiana’s Legislative Halls since the session opened. They exhausted themselves before the election.

The Star-Puiss has stirred up the righteous indignation of other towns, as well as our own, iu regard to the prevalent gambling evil. We are in receipt of a postal card from a lady at Bainbridge, in which she compliments the Star-Press on the result of its demands for the enforcement of the laws, and adds that Bainbridge is suffering sorely from the gambling mania She says "We have a den in our town, with a grocery store for a blind.” where-jjfvnEHsg is aksosi openly conducted, and players are beaten out of money that is needed to furnish the necessaries of life for their families. The writer further remarks that the Banner-Times did deny that gambling rooms existed in Greencastle, and from this draws the conclusion that decent law-abiding citizens should steer clear of that sheet, as they would of a pest Since receiving the postal card referred to above we have received a lengthy communication from one of the most respected lady residents of Bainbridge, in regard to the gambling evil prevalent there, and the same will he found in another column.

In Ohio Gov. McKinley reports a State Treasury deficit of nearly $100,000; in New York Gov. Flower reports $1,000,000 surplus in the State Treas ury. Ohio is a Republican State; New York is a Democratic State. No further comment is called for; no amount of talk could place Republicanism in a worse light, «r Democracy in a better light, financially.

The twaddle of Republican newspapers in regard to Cleveland being a minority President scarce deserves notice, for Republicans can find no consolation in the fact that Cleve land received 400,000 more votes than Harrison ; if to these is added the Democratic votes that were cast for Weaver in the west and northwest, Cleveland’s vote would show a clear majority over all.

On Monday last Justice L. Q. C Lamar, of the United States Court, died very suddenly at Vinevllle, near Macon, Ga. He had been in excellent spirits during the day, and enjoyed his dinner. Ho spent the afternoon with a friend, and about 8 o’clock was siezed with violent pains in the heart. At * :50 o’clock the Justice was dead. In history he will stand among the greatest of the scholars, statesman and jurists of the nation.

Taa Legislative CeseB&ittce- oeRoads has reported a bill to the House that will not become law. This bill abolishes Road Supervisors and puts the Township Trustee with an Advis ory Board, composed of Justices of the Peace, in charge of road building. It provides for a tax of not less than ten cents on the $100 and not more than twenty-five cents for roads, half of which is to be used in permanent improvements. It also provides for a vehicle tax and turns various fines for misdemeanors into the Road Fund It provides that the cost of building roads shall be assessed one half against property within a ^jo-mile limit and one half against t 'ounty. i .>

Another Trust has been organized —the manufacture of whips is now controlled by a trust composed of all the large manufacturers iu the United States.

Tariff reform is right; the people demand it; the Democratic party promised it; woe betide the time serving politician who attempts to hinder its consummation.

Quickly, and with judgment, the Legislature should prune the Grubbs libel law of its vicious features, of else it should repeal it and enact an equitable law in its stead.

Tax inheritances—the revenue of the State well benefitted and so will its citizens, while no one will be wronged —tax all inheritances of $5,000 and over; the larger the inheritance the greater the tax.

Don’t monkey with the road law without you are certain you can better it. A change for the worse will prove terrible as a buzz saw when its supporters again come in contact witli the people.

The Legislature is moving in the direction of economy by considering a measure that reapportions the State for judicial purposes. The new bill does away with a large number of small circuits, and its passage will save about $100,000 for the tax payers of the State. Let the measure be come law.

If there is no change in present arrangements, as reported from Washington, President Harrison will be transformed into Prof. Harrison, L L D., after March 4, and he will become a non-resident member of the faculty of Stanford University at a good round salary. This added to his corporation practice will doubtless keep the wolf from the door.

One of the recent decisions of the Indiana Supreme Court is of interest to the people, and of more than ordinary interest to Boards of Couaty Commissioners and physicians. It is that where an emergency arises for a surgical operation upon a pauper, and the physician employed by the Board of Commissioners for that township lives at a distance and is not experienced or skillful in such surgical operation, and lacks the necessary instruments for its performance, which is known to the township trustee, he as overseer of the poor, may employ another physician to perform the operation, and the county is liable lor the value of his services.

If this does not go to the

dens—we have them here, and they are run almost openly in defiance of law and the best interests of society. Many a young and middle aged man can be seen each Sunday morning emerging from one of these dens, with an unsteady walk and a dejected countenance witli guilt, and often despair deeply written upon every lineament of ins features. But is this all? No! His last week’s wages, for which he toiled through and cold, has changed hands, and can now be found in the pocket of the proprietor, or the pockets of some of his stferers. Much inconvenience, and indeed suffering for the necessaries of life during the recent cold and inclement weather, can trace their origin to the freedom with which the heads of families have squandered theis wages in gambling. But there is a more horrible picture yet. Small boys are enticed into these dives and instructed in the mysteries of penny

games of draw poker.

Will not the town hoard of Bainbridge do something to relieve us of this palpable and growing evil? Our boys are being led to penury and disgrace, and are growing idle and improvident, by either frequenting these dens of infamy or associating witli those who do. Will not every lover of law, order and good society stand by the officers in their efforts to uphold the best interests of society by exterminating with legal blows this great evil? A Mother.

Orange Blossoms. Married, on Jan. 21, 1893, at the residence of the bride’s parents, near Reelsville, Mr. Harvey O. Wilson and Miss May Clark, Rev. Nelson Wright pronouncing the ceremony. The bride looked lovely in steel grey silk frock, with white silk crape and pearl trimmings. The groom was dressed in the conventional black. The bride has been an earnest student and teacher in the common schools for four years, and is teaching at the present time. She will, however, finish the remainder of the term, and then the intellectual Held will lose one of its bright stars. The groom resides near Bainbridge, whither they will move in the spring. A host of friends unite in extending congratulations. May their lives be long and replete witli joy. xx Groveland. G. H. Michaels was hereon Monday visiting his new grandson J. E.
