We have hoard of no recent elTort to close the gambling r,>oms here. There is talk of another Republican newspaper being started in Green castle. The best job printing of all kinds is done at the Star Press office for less money than it can be obtained elsewhere. If you want all the local news, or if you want to place your advertisement where it will be read by tha greatest number of people, patronize the Star-Press and your want will be supplied. The glories of a state campaign, with the attendant “education” so prevalent in these days, will he experienced in Ohio and Iowa, this year, as Governors are to be elected in both these states. The millenium is not yet here. As of yore, the men continue to seek the offices, hence the offices do not seek the men. Office seeking is said to result from the presence of political microbes that are always most abundant during the first few weeks after a presidential election. The indications are that the Cleveland administration, aud especially Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle, is able to take care of the interests of the masses as they seem to antagonize the interest of tht bond-holding capi , '! , )i''t class of the east. The financial credit of the country is inaiuiaiued and the new bunds demanded by the capitalists are not issued ; the parity of gold and silver is and will be maintained.

The experience in regard to an asylum for the poor in Dearhotn county, Indiana, is a-peculiar one, and gives ground for thought. The commissioners built a forty-thousand-dollar infirmary for the poor. It remained almost tenantless, however, as the paupers preferred to he supported by the county at the homes of friends. To remedy this state of affairs, the county commissioners have cut off all allowances for the support of paupers not living on the county farm.

On Wednesday Ex-Gov. Gray left for Mexico to assume his official duties as Minister of that country. The Wall street money Kings arc learning that they cannot run this Democratic administration. The pension office gives out the fact that there are now 73,705 persons in Indiana drawing pensions ; the average annual amount drawn by each of these persons is $102, the aggregate bring $11,914,105, _ The New York Legislature is attempting to abolish capital punishment, fixing the extreme penalty for murder at imprisonment for life. The change would be all right if it prohibit the pardon of those imprisoned for murder.

Illimitable gaul and abundance of brass does not rule always. With presumption that gave taken of a large supply of these qualities, Ben Havens, of Terre Haute, telegraphed to Secretary of State Gresham, “Why don’t you send me my commission?” “Be cause I don’t intend to appoint you,” replied the Secretary, and it was reason sufficient and well-founded, under the circumstances.

The Indiana fee and salary law is not to be enforced without an effort on the part of officials to have it declared unconstitutional. To this end several of the county othcers in Whitley county have combined to bring a suit, and the case is to be carried to the Supreme Court. What the point of attack will be is not yet made public, but the intent is to have it set aside, if possible, that they may draw the pay and emoluments provided for in the old law.

n- .1 i-z.) -r: Jaw has gotten into Court. Sheriff Stout, of Vigo County, has brought suii in the circuit court against Auditor of State Henderson, a mandate compelling the latter to pay allowances claimed to be due for transporting prisoners from Terre Haute to the prison South. It is intended as a test of the constitutionality of the present fee and salary law. In his complaint he averred that he was elected and qualified as Sheriff oi Vigo county ; that as Sheriff' he conveyed to the prison south prisoners convicted of felony and delivered them to the keeper of the prison, taking his receipt; that he performed this duty in accordance with the requirements of the law.

Induce your friend or neighbor who is not a subscriber to take the Star Press—it gives all the news for $1 a year. Reliuions intolerance seems too prevalent to bo wholesome in Mom gomery county, as is shown by the following special, dated April 22 : For several months the Dunkard settlement near Darlington has been the scene of continued strife. The Dunkards compose a large and wealthy community, and live in strict accorddance with their rigid rules of life. They have been sadly tried, however, by a set of young hoodlums from Darlington, who attended their meetings and create disorder. The Dun kards stood with Christian grace for several ysars the outrageous ticatmont and exhorted their jeering persecutors to adapt a new way of liu*. Finally endurance ceased to he a virtue and the grand jury was called upon to furnish twenty live indictments. The offenders were fined and imprisoned, and since that time the Dunkard’s property has been destroyed, their lives threatened and all kinds of abuses heaped upon them To-night they were to have held their yearly soup meeting and foot washing ceremony ut White Church, a large and costly structure built for thi.. solemn service at great expense Last night, however, a band of yelling hoodlums rode to the place and tired the church, which burned to the ground. The greatest excitement prevails over the outrage, and the long suffering and patient Dunkardare fully aroused Pretty wall paper at Jones’ tf Good coal oil at Jones' tf f — ■ Cheap wall paper at Jones' tf .
