Entered at the Postofflee, Greencastle. Ind. as second-class mail matter. Theke are still a number of Indiana Democrats holding out their plates for consulship plums. The list of the members of the lower house of the 53d Congress, compiled by the Clerk of the House, shows 220 Democrats, 127 Republicans, 8 Populists, and one vacancy. The sensible thing to do now is for all ^hc people of Greencastle to cast dissension to the dogs and make a united eflort for the upbuilding and an increase of population in Greencastle. The Frankfort Crescent man is wailing because Postmaster General Bissell’s decree is enforced against him :—“unsuccessful politicians will not be allowed to control the appointments in their district Indiana has been In uer cared for than any other State, under the Cleveland administration, so far as the appointment of Democratic postmasters is concerned. This is as it should be —Indiana made atirst-class record at the election. The Governor of South Carolina is the boss liquor dealer of that State. By a recent enactment of the Legislature the liquor business of the State is placed, practically, in control of the Governor ; he buys all liquid lunch and supervises its sale and those who sell it.
The newspapers say that at the recent meeting between Cleveland and McKinley, the President greeted the Governor ve^y cordially. This is as it should he ; President Cleveland is greatly indebted to McKinley for the glorious victory he won in November of last year. The police officers at Jeffersonville, Indiana, have kept up an unceasing war on the gambling resorts there, and have finally forced them to quit business. Ttre proprietors of the gambling rooms have also been informed that if they open up their places again they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
There is no end to the formation of Trusts, it would seem. The latest one is the Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas Company. Its scope ami intention is to secure the control of
The peanut crop is said to be 4,000000 bushels sin i t, but there is a long crop of peanut politicians.
The best time to clean up the highways, and farms, and city lots, etc., is before i liolera swoops down on us Prevention always discounts the cun of a disease.
And now it is said h;- .J.T political sooth-sayers in and about Washington that Cleveland is setting up the pins for renomiuation in 1896. The story finds no credit, save with his political enemies—1896 is a long way oil.
The record of Maxwell in decapitating Republican postmasters is not up to Clarkson’s in the first month of the Harrison administration. The figures are Claikson, 1,828; Maxwell, 876. With a little more practice, however, Maxwell will equal if not surpass all previous records. There seems to he no active or energetic work resulting from the recent mass meeting in this city, which urged and demanded that the law he enforced against the gambling rooms and gamblers. The City Dads should work up another mass meeting to to urge the city officials to do their duty.
The Senate adjourned sine die on last Saturday, after confirming nearly all the appointments sent in by the President. Thus it is that many who expected to receive a piece of official pie immediately will be forced to forage on unofficial busks until Decern her, and then take chances for ap poiutment or disappointment. The question as to who shall con trol the appointment of postmasters is of the future. Recently Postmas ter General Bissell mentioned the fact that he had selected a Postmaster at Ripley, Term , to please the people, although the candidate selected was not indorsed by the Congressman or by the Senators. We notice that the new Postmaster at Ripley, Tenn., is one of the few nominations the Senate tailed to confirm. This is in the nature of a co-incidence. Perhaps it is also a notification to Mr. Bissel! that the Congressmen and Senators are determined to have a voice in say nig who shall he appointed in their various Congressional Districts and States.

What has become of that “Wild Cat” money that the Republicans talked so wildly about last campaign? According to their assertions there should be a perfect deluge of it afloat in the commercial world by this time, but even the specimens shown by the Republican speakers while stumping the State seem to have vanished. We fear that one of two things is true— the Republicans sought to bunco the people or else they were the victims
of very bad judgment.
nature will be on exhibition there to amuse, instruct, and entertain seek ers after amusement, instruction and entertainment. The studious will find within the gates a post-graduate course in the knowledge sought; the mechanic will find his ideas appropriated by others and will be enabled, in return, to appropriate the ideas of others. The merchant will learn of the traffic of the world and what it traffics in, and so it goes. The World’s Fair at Chicago will mark a world's epoch, and no surmountable obstacle should prevent one or more visits thereto.

Tho foreigners which came in Sunday morning were the Italian cruiser Giovanni liausan and the new French cruiser Jean Bart. There was a brisk breeze stirring when the Italian appeared over the horizon between the capes shortly after 7 o’clock. It was the liausan who conveyed the Columbus statue to New York recently and lay for a long while in the harbor. Fortress Monroe, Va., April 18.— Over a restless sea, silvered by a bright ■unshine, Great Britain’s big cruisers, with jacks Hying, guns booming and pennants whirling arrived in Hampton Roads.

Fortress Monroe, Va., April 19.— Germany’s great warships, the Kaiserin, Augusta aud Seeadler, came in with smoke and glory last evening, and the salute of the former to the stars and stripes over the fort simply shook the Old Point and jolted the water into choppy waves.

Fastest Cruiser of Its Class. New London, Conn., April 18.—The builders of the United States cruiser Detroit will receive $150,000 bonus for extra speed developed above the contract, which called for 17 knots. The Detroit has proved itself the fastest cruiser of equal displacement in the world. At 8:15 o’clock Monday morning the official trial was begun. It continued for four hours and the Detroit developed 20 knots an hour, near-
ly 28 miles.
