The bill now being considered in the Legislature relative to the reapportionment wf the State for judicial purposes makes a change in tins, the Thirteenth Judicial District. If it should become law Clay and Sullivan counties will constitute the Tenth Judicial Circuit,and Putnam, Morgan and Owen counties will constitute the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit.
The investigation of the United States Treasury has demonstrated that the administration lias “had a hard task in making both ends meet, and that its successor will be likely, unless relieved by legislation at this session raising additional revenue, to have even a harder task,” because of the responsibilities now assumed that d will become heir to.
By-the-way, we have notked no editorial assertions in Republican newspapers of recent date, to the effect that the Democratic party was dead and beyond hope of resurrection. Paragraphs of this kind were quite common in the past, and were always at hand to “fill in” with. The Democratic party, with its plurality of nearly half a million, and an electoral vote of 277, gives promise of long life after the Republican organization becomes only a reminiscence. The wool growers of the country, if they are wise, will look the facts squarely in the face, and uot allow the talk of Protectionists to bias or blind them. The Ohio Wool Grower’s Association recently made a pub lie assertion that a duty on wool is one of the first necessities of a protective tariff system. This edict will not be believed when it is remembered that Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey are the only high tariff countries in Europe which impose a duty on foreign wool. The highest duty in Europe is that of Turkey, 8 per cent. Under the McKinley tariff
The railroads are about at the end of their rope in theirattempt to evade paying taxes assessed under the new law. On Friday the test case taken into the Su preme Court from Marion county was decided, Judge Olds delivering the opi nion. The case is known on the records as the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Company against Victor M. Backus, Treasurer. The right to collect taxes, State and local, on $100,000,000 of railroad property is involved. That tax amounts to $1,500,000 each year. The railroad companies, which have been fighting the law, agreed to pay taxes on $60,000000 of valuation, as assessed under the old law-, but declined to pay on the $100,000,000 additional, levied by the State Board of Tax Commissioners, created two years ago. Some of the railroads which have been resisting the law have paid the tax under protest; but the others have declined to pay, and many hundreds of thousands of dollars awaited the decision. Every railroad in every county in the State has been w atching this case for six months with uncommon interest. The Big Four case, the one decided, will determine all the other suits pending. Over it the battle was fought, and the greatest array of legal talent ever contending in an Indiana court lias wrested for snpcejnapv in
this suit.
The Big Four Railw-ay, nearly a year ago, brought suit in the Circuit Court ,seeking to enjoin County Treasurer Backus from collecting the the taxes assessed upon it by the State Board, before Judge Brown The constitutionality of the law under which the Tax Board was operating was attacked. The State won, and the case was carried through all the usual stages to the court of last resort, where oral argument was con-
cluded two weeks ago.

Senator McLean, ( Terre Haute, has prepared and wil introduce into the legislature a joint i elution which is of big import to Indiana, It will ask congress for a preliminary survey for a ship canal from the headwaters of navigation on the Wabash river to Lake Michigan, with plans and specifications and estimates of the cost, with a view to ultimate completion of the work. The plan not only proposes a deep canal from the Upper Wabash to Lake Michigan, near Chicago, but olso a system of locks and dams to deepen the Wabash nine feet, so that the largest lake vessels can go directly from Chicago through the canal down the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf of Mexico The body of Edward Fikentschor was found lying in the road near Lakeville, the other morning. One of his hands which were crossed on his breast, held a revolver and there was a bullet-hole in his head. Fikentscher was arrested some years ago for the murder of a brother, but was not convicted, “Jack the Beeper” is scaring Huntington people by peering through the windows at night Officers have chased him, but he escaped.
