Congress has passed the bill requiring railroads to use automatic couplers and safety brakes on all trains, and five years is allowed the railroads to equip their rolling stock with these lifesaving devices. The bill introduced in the Legislature to place the county roads in charge of the Trustees of ttie various townships, and abolish the office of road superv isor has been put to sleep in the Senate to awake no more. Its end will be unmourned by the people, as the measure had few, if any friends. The new apportionment bill intro duced by Representative Ader, of the joint apportionment Committee, the first of the week, has been thoroughly examined and is held to conform to the decision of the Supremo Court, each county having the uuitentitling it to a representative is given one. No county having less than the unit and given a reprensentative is given a voice in the selection of another. In this manner the decision in relation to the contiguity of counties is followed. The same applies to the Senatorial districts. The bill will not greatly change the political complexion of the two houses. In fact it is believed that it will leave the Democratic majorities about as they are. The bill was carefully prepared by Mr. Ader, who has given much time and thought to its preparation.

The Treasury Department has issued a report on the tin industry in which it is affirmed that as there is no prospect of tin mines being developed in this country the law imposing a duty of four cents a pound on block tin after July 1, 1893, should he repealed. The pension appropriation bill passed byCongress appropriates $1G5,000,000, exclusive of a million and a half for examining surgeon fees, clerk hire, etc. Senator Gorham expressed the opinion that it would be necessary to appropriate 1200,000,000 for pensions next year. The Legislature has passed the bill to change the time of holding township elections. Hereafter township officers—trustee, assessor, justices of thcpeaceand road supervisors—will he elected every four years at the general election. The next township election will occur in November 1894. The present township officers will continue in oflice until August, 1895. The new Democratic U. 8. Senator from North Dakota, Mr. Roach, is a fit representative of the changes in the field of politics. A few years ago he was the sole representative of the Democratic party in the North Dakota Legislature, but he maintained himself and his party with courage and ability. This record secured him the Democratic Candidacy for Governor at two succeeding elections, and gave him success in his race for U, 8. Senator.

gated to the rear if the people could get a whack at them at the polls : good and efficient officers who have thecon fidence of the people, can secure an extension of their terms of office at the polls, and it is not this latter clasof officers who demanded and engi neered the passage of this law. Possibly one of the most remarkable cases of misplaced confidence, in which both business and politics arc equally mingled, is the bankruptcy of Governor McKinley, of Ohio. TinGovernor was the author and chosen champion of the Protective Tariff hill passed by the last Republican Congress ; one of the provisions of the hill was fixing a tariff of two cents per pound on tin ; a personal friend of McKinley’s immediately started a tin manufactory, and Governor McKinley endorsed for him to the extent of 1100,000; the tin business did not pay, McKinley’s friend made an assign ment, and the latter became responsi hie, forcing him into bankruptcy Summed up the facts are, had it net been for the McKinley bill that tin manufactory would not have been es tahlished and McKinley would not have been ruined. The moral is: don’t endorse.

There is no tiuth in the oft repeated assertion that in these days and in this country a young man has not the opportunities to succeed in lile that he had thirty or forty years ago. He who makes such asser lions speaks from a biased standpoint, or else he is not observing and well informed in regard to the everyday affairs of life. Young men and old men who have the requisites—determina tion, industry, and tact in management and business matters—can and do succeed better now than in the days gone by, because these qualities are more highly prized and opportu nities to use them are more numerous The man who poses in public places, arrayed in stylish duds and spotless lineu, ruining his mind and attacking his vitals by puffing cigarettes does not succeed because Success is not in him, but the manly man, who is not afraid to work and hopes for the pleas ures to he derived from the dividends earned by brain, muscle, and honest toil finds no insurmountable barriers to success—the world needs them and they get on in the world. It is possible tiiat Senator Seller will not he urged to fill a legislative office after he has completed Ins present term. His legislative career is thus pictured by the Indianapolis Sentinel : “Senator Seller was elected by the democratic votes of Montgomery and Putnam counties, hut fie Has devoted most of his time during the session in leading the republicans in an attempt to overthrow the Australian ballot law. He made another charge on this great reform measure yesterday, aided by a solid Republican contingent and a few democrats, hut, as.usual, fie was routed and fell outside the breast works. Every day he makes an ns sault on the election law. Yesterday it was on the bill to preserve protested ballots for the inspection of the pub lie after they had been counted. He took occasion to explain his position on the election law, and why he has offered bills to repeal everything in it except the enacting clause and emergency section from time to time. He claimed to be the friend of the law, and said that all his anti election hillhad been drafted since he came hero Senator Leyden asked film about hiinterview in the Sentinel ten days he fore the meeting of the legislature, in which he declared that he had his pockets full of bills to amend the elec tion law.

The other night the house of John Bartholomew burned to the ground at Milford while the family was at church. They had been smoking meat in the house. It was the first brick house erected in Kosciusco county, having been bnilt in 1847. Albert Gibbons, son of John Gibbons, residing south of Brazil, and one of the wealthiest farmers in Clay county, was arrested at his home on a warrant issued by Deputy United States Commissioner W. P. Blair, of Brazil, on a charge of deserting the regular army in Montana two months ago. The case was tried before Mr. Blair, the father claiming custody of his son on the ground that the boy was under age when he enlisted. After a heated discussion the prisoner was turned over to his father. Dennis Bolin, a farmer living in Van Buren, Clay county, was killed the other afternoon in a runaway. His team became frightened at a passing engine and ran off, tearing the wagon all to pieces and throwing Mr. Bolin to the ground, crushing his skull. A man giving his name as Fred George a noted burglar who has been operating in the vicinity of Vincennes, was arrested the other day at the instance of a tramp, to whom George had confided the extent of his operations. In some straw stacks, three or four miles west of Vincennes, on the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, were found probably $.1,000 worth of stolen goods taken from country stores he had robbed.

Frazer died at his home in Warsaw, the other evening, of pneumonia, aged sixty-nine years.
