THE STARTRESS. Frank A. Arnold, Editor and Proprietor. J Saturday, Feb. 18, 18y3. TERMS One Dollar per Year Entered at tiii Poitofflce OreencMtle, Ind., as second-class mail matter. The question of the hour: “Who will be appointed to Cabinet positions by President Cleveland?” CoNuitEis has refused to appropriate any money for payment for services of U. S. Marshals and Supervisors at elections. In Porter county the grand jury has just returned over one hundred and fifty indictments against dealers for violations of the cigarette law; they sold to boys under the statutory age. There are all kinds of men, even .n politics. Governor Shortridge, of North Dakota, is truly a servant— they elected him Governor of the State at the November election, and when he was voted for by certain members of the legislature for United States Senator he promptly sent them word that he was not a candidate for that office; that the people had elected him Governor, he had accepted the office, and he was going to serve them in the position they had chosen him to fill. There are a class of people in this world, especially those in politics, who look for wrong even when intents and acts are right. This fact is amplified in the appointment of Judge Jackson to be a Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He publicans criticise and denounce Harrison for appointing a Democrat to be judge of the court of highest resort, aud Democrats criticise and denounce Harrison fur this same appointment, alleging that it is done to give him opportunity to appoint a favorite Republican supporter to the place made vacant by J udge Jackson's appointment. The indications are that the President is held in suspicion by the leaders of his own party, and is not credited with high motives under any circumstances by Democrats who have watched his public career and know how small his ideas are, so crowded are they by partisan bias.

The Legislature of Tennessee has adopted resolutions requesting the Senators and Representatives in Congress, Irom that State, to vote in favor of the election of U. S. Senators by the people, and also in favor of a graded income tax. The truth in regard to the United States Treasury is gradually coming to the surface, and these truths explain how it is possible for the administration to even show a small surplus on hand. The Secretary of the Treasury has just made public the lact that of over .f'J.OtKJ.UOO author ized for the construction of public buildings not a dollar has been ex pended because of the lack of funds. Then there is the 1(12,900,000 due the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians, which should have been paid long ago, but has not been. Well,, it is about time for the Banner-Times to confess that it lied in its criticisms on the new tax law, when it editorially asserted that the law named was enacted by the Democratic party to increase the taxes of the farmers and reduce the taxes of railroads and other corporations. The recent decision of the Indiana Supreme Court forces the railroads of the State to pay an increase of over $1,000,000 dollars in taxation, and this decreases the tax burden of the people to the extent of over $1,000,000. Fess up, Mr. B.-T. man, and do the honest thing in this matter, as did Gov. Chase. All the w ise men are not yet dead ; Indiana harbors a Solomon, and his habitation is near the town of Eng lish ; he is a justice of the peace and demonstrates hi« fi.tne»9,.by decisions, one of which was as follow's: T wo men went coon hunting, taking along another man’s coon dog; they caught three coons, and the owner of the dog claimed a share of the game in payment for the services of his dog. ’Squire Dumont was called on to settle the case, and he took two of the coons for his fee in the case, the third coon he cut in two and cut of! the tail, gave half of the coon to each of the hunters, and the tail to the owner of the dog. A free fight ensued between the parties, and the ’Squire will get additional fees when their cases come up for trial.

In the Legislature the question of a new judicial apportionment worries the members. The incentive to a new apportionment is economy, but tiie new bills so far reported increase the expense of courts. The offices of Prosecutor and Judge are constitutional offices, and, though they may be legislated out of office, they can not be legislatt l i 1 : tbeir aalariee for the time for whicu they are elected. In the many changes, two Judges ,inthrown into the same circuit and also two Prosecutors. While the changes would reduce the number of circuits, seven in all, it would leave seven Judges and seven Prosecutors, some just entering upon a six-year term, to be paid by the State, while they would render no service whatever. Again, some of the counties grouped into circuits have no Judge or Prosecutor residing in them. In such cases the.-c officers would have to be appointed, for the law requires that the Judge and Prosecutor must bo citizens ol counties constituting the circuit.

People living south of the creek, in sight of town—not over half a mile—have to go two or three miles before they can get across to do their trading. When the creek is very high they must go to the bridge at Putnaiuville, six or seven miles out of their way. In sickness they can’t get a doctor, and if a person dies they can’t get to the cemetery. If there is a bridge needed in the county, it is across Deer Creek at Manhattan. We have had the promise of one this year, and we would like to see it built Our supervisor, David Polloui, bad the bovs out Monday last, cutting a road through the ice, which was blocked up between Deer Creek and Dewese Branch Rev.
