TERMS One Dollar per Year Entered at the Postofflce, Greencastle, Ind., as second-class mail matter. The school book lobby does not seem to make much headway towards repealing the Indiana School Book Law.
Tariff reform is right; it is just; it is demanded by the people. Congress should not be slow in getting to Work on this line. The boast of the Protectionists was “California’s U. S. Senator will be all right; the Pacific Slope favors protec tion.” The boast and the assertion seem to have been founded on “Moonshine.”
Republicans who watch the drift of politics are dazed over the fact that Kansas, the former Republican Gibraltar, has elected Judge Martin, an unterrified Democrat, to the United
States Senate.
Chicago fathers the suggestion that President Harrison resign, to the end that Vice President Morton may appoint him Judge of the U. S. Supreme Court to succeed Justice Lamar, deceased. The Treasurer ot Warren county, Ind., his nnn>e is Cronkhite and he is a Republican, skipped by the light of the moon last week, leaving his bondsmen and others poorer to the extent of over $100,000. The Banner-Times is still silent in regard to the iniquities of the new tax law. Possibly it baa changed Its mind since the result of the election was announced and Ex-Gov. Chase delivered his annual message to the
Legislature.
The Republicans have not been very successful in working their pet schemes to secure U. S. Senators from the doubtful States in the West and Northwest. Without all signs fail the Democrats will have a clear working majority in the Senate after
March 4,1893.
On Monday Governor Matthews sent his first veto to the Legislature. The bill which (ailed to meet his approval was one which required courts to continue causes where an atlidnvit was filed showing that an attorney on either side was a member of the Legis lature and absent in performance of
State duties.
The graduated income tax is the coming means to raise revenue to pay the expenses of the National
government.
It is going to come; you and I, doubtless, will live to see the United States Senators chosen by the direct
vote of the people.
The President makes good time paying his private debts with public patronage. Elijah Halford, his private Secretary, has been appointed and confirmed paymaster in the army —a life position at $2,400 per year. Hope alloyed with fear has driven the Republicans in the U. S. Senate to consent to the admission of New Mexico, Utah and Oklahoma as States. Their hope is that they will elect Republicans to the Senate, but their well grounded fear is that they will
not.
The bill to reapportion the State for Judicial purposes leaves the 13th Judicial Circuit ns it is—Putnam and
Clay counties.

The law is enforced—a Republican at Seymour, Ind., named John W. Holmes, was convicted in the Circuit Court, and has been sentenced to the county jail for ten days, fined $25 and disfranchised for ten years for violating the election law in offering to
bribe a voter.
The Indiana Supreme Court has decided that the Legislative apportionment of the State is unconstituttonal, hence the duty devolves on the present Legislature to reapportion the State, and each member will endeavor to look out for number one in the redistricting scheme. The Senate Bill to restore the ap ponting power to the Governor has passed the Senate and the indications are that it will receive favorable consideration in the House. The Governor is responsible, to a large extent, for the management of the State's public institutions, and in equity he should have a voice in selecting the trustees who control them.
In the Boone County Circuit Court,
recently, the judge made a ruling on the fee and salary bill ns relates to the appointment of bailifl's for the sheriff. Sheriff Troutman is allowed but 12,100 per year but Judge Neal so interprets the law that the sherifl'pays no bailiff hire at all. At the opening of each term of Court the sheriff nominates his two riding bailiffs, court room bailiff and grand jury bailiff,
appointed by the judge at d
a|ig|£|&M&a«aiee made each for their ser mtUSSfo. Neal justifies his action
An expert on the subject of Indiana roads has been making figures and finds that the total road tax collected in Indiana in 1892 amounted to $2,220,075; from these figures he makes i t appear, that if it had been properly expended, nearly 1,600 miles of good roads could have been built; in real ity however, there were not 50 miles of such road built. He finishes by asking, how is this evil to be rem-
edied?
The drift of Indiana legislation seems to be to nurse the business necessary to the State’s welfare until the sixty days limit has passed, and thereby secure the pay to be earned in extra session. Gov. Matthews, is said, has given notice that this scheme will he worked, if at all, over his protest. The members should get down to business—all necessary can be transacted within the sixty d y
limit.

About one-half of the regular session of the Legislature has passed, and but little of the really necessary legislative work has been accomplished. The members should make haste hastily, else they will not accomplish the work they were engaged to do in the allotted time. It is well, also, to remember that the people are not overpoweringly anxious for'an extra session—there’s nothing in it for them.

Columbus Dechard shot and instantly killed his wife the other afternoon at Guthrie, a village ten miles north of Bedford. Deckard claims the shooting was accidental; that he had placed the pistol against his own breast with the intention of committing suicide, and that his wife, in attempting to prevent it, twisted his hand around, so that when the pistol was discharged the contents entered her breast, and, ranging downward, reached her heart, killing her instantly. Deckard is in
jail.

The Collins family is one of tho wealthiest in the county. At Columbus George Fellows, aged 74 years, and his son William, aged years, died withiu fifteen minutes of each other from lung fever. Three days before Mrs. Fellows, aged 71 years, died suddenly from an attack of asthma, making three deaths in the family within three days. The wife of Eli Miller, of Valley City, near Corydon, gave birth to four children a few days ago. They were fully developed, but did not live. Mrs. Miller gave birth to triplets about a year
