On Monday last, President Cleve land touched the buitton at Chicago and tne World’s Fair moved otf at us rapid a gait as Chicago anticipated or hoped for.

Entered at the Postoffice, Grecncastle, Ind. as second-class mail matter.

It is reported that eight banks in New York City are in the combine which has attempted to force gold to premium or compel the government to make an new issue of bonds. Their greed for gold is greater than their devotion to country.

The Democratic party of Indiana ! is well pleased with the appointment of Hon. 0. M. Packard, of Plymouth, l as National Bank Examiner for the j State The appointment is most fitting because the appointee is worthy and well qualified.

The town elections of Indiana, on Monday,make a fine show for the Democratic party—the Democratic rooster was again given opportunity to crow whe-e he had crowed before and the same privilege was accorded him within new corporate limits.

The World's Fair opened on Monday most auspiciously; everything went according to programme ; Chicago and Chicagoeans proved that she and they were amply able to do their duty, and assist other's in doing their’s. The proper caper ow is to arrange your affair’s so that you can go and see the sights.

There is much food for retlexion in j the expressed opinion of Congress man-elect Harris, of Kansas, to theef i feet that Congressmen should have no I voice in making appointments to ledj eral offices. “Congressmen” he says, “were elect ed to make laws. The President was elected, among other things, to name the appointive officers of the Government.”

The World’s Fair is a sort of incubator for hatching out sensations. The Arab colony is a show of itself, especially when it gets loaded up with tanglefoot and starts out to spill the blood of the “dogs of Chistians” who attempt to restrain and keep them within the bounds of civilized behavior. These wild sons of the desert imbibe too largely whenever opportunity is ofl'ereJ.

An evolution in the settlement of disputed claims is sprung in North Dakota, under a new law which provides for Courts of Conciliation in that State. The measure is intended to do away with litigation; parties unable to agree appear before the "Concilitators,” state their cases, and the court endeavors to fix up the matter for them without resorting to the courts of law. What the outcome of the experiment will be is anxiously awaited.

This Democratic administration has proven to a demonstration that the U. S. Treasury aud the finances of the government can be managed without the aid or supervision of the money kings of New York. Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle has had but little difficulty in making this proposition plain ; the chief trouble is that the feelings of the Wall street money manipulators have been hurt and their experience has made them feel unpleasantly small.

One of the ill“ left to this Democratic administration by the Republicans is the sugar bounty iniquity, which talks money out of the pockets of the people of the whole country to enrich the sugar growers of the South. The law is doubtless unconstitutional and it is suggested that its action could he stopped without waiting for Congress to repeal the measure. The proposition is an order from the Secretary of the Treasury forbid ding further payment of the bounties, the object being to secure a decision from the United States Supreme Court upon the question whether the payment of gratuities to private individuals out of money raised by taxation of people is within the power of ( Congress under the Constitution.

The rule announced some weeks ago, against the appointment to office of men who held official positions under Cleveland’s former administration seems to hav^ dropped out of sight. The possibilities are that it was promulgated for the express purpose of getting rid of those who proved inefficient in office before, while those who made good official records are not barred and will not be.

The peculiarities of women are no greater than those of men, perhaps, but more note is taken of them as they run in quaint directions. One of the latest of these pecularities is heralded from Puiladelphia, where a large number of women have signed a petition asking that a saloon be es tablished near their homes. The reason which they assign is a curiosity; they want the saloon, they say, because their husbands are now forced to cross a railroad track in visiting another saloon, and, moreover, would probably not drink so mnek if the saloon were nearer.

There is a text for a sermon on national affairs in the fact that when the money sharks ol Wall Street, New York, were attempting to force an issue of Government bonds or precipitate a panic by draining the gold from the United States Treasury, ft was the bauks of the South and West that came to the rescue of Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle—the South and West were determined that the national credit should be sustained. On the contrary New York and New England offered no gold to the Treasury of the United States without re ceiving a premium therefor.

Several Chicago organizations, including the Woman’s Club, King’s Daughters, Protictive Association for Women and Children, and other humane societies have issued a warning to parents and guardians against allowing young and inexperienced girls to go to the World’s Fair without the protection of other people, and against allowing young girls to answer advertisements or accept the offers of agents for “light and easy work with good wages for young girls,” The societies are constrained to publish this warning because of serious dangers threatening all unprotected women, and particularly young girls during the Fair season.

I am sure that we need a new building and it will be a necessity. Would it not be a good plan for the county to levy a tax, say \ 4 per cent., for the purpose of building a new Court House and let it run for a few years; then when we have to build it would not be necessary to borrow and when we have the means there will be no howl, as of old, that the old one is good enough; the people will say we have the money; now let us have a house that will be a credit to us. xx

Board of Education.

The County Buardaof Education met in the County Superintendent’s office, May 1, and

transacted the following business:

The plans of handling and distributing school text-books under the recently revised school book law were discussed at length. Some of the Trustees determined to use one of the plans, and others preferring to use the

other. The County Superintendent was

tliorized to pursue the same course in regard to Teachers’ Reading Circle books and county institute fees that was used last year. The

hoard authorized the County Superintendent to provide enough copies of the State School Manual to supply one to each teacher em-

ployed in the schools next year.

It was unanimously agreed by the Board to

have the schools begin either Sept. 11 or 18, at

the option of tile Trustee. The reason for having the schools all begin as nearly at the same time as possible is because of the bimonthly examinations which arc held the

same day in all parts of the county. The board discussed at some length the Young People’s K. ading Circle While

definite action was taken, it is hoped and he lieved that greater interest wilt be taken by

school officers, teachers and pupils next year in the work than has ever been manifested before. There were more than sixteen hundred members enrolled last year, reading twenty-five hundred hooks. Next year these figures ought to be doubled.
