Money is more plentiful, interest rates are lower and loans easier made, business is growing better, and prospects grow bri :liter all over the country. The bond holders scare is about

over.

In Massachusetts a lady was much annoyed by punsters because her name was Etta llalibitt; in self defence she asked and the courts permitted her to change her name to Ella Rabbitt.

The people of the United States do not want a single silver standard for coinage ; they do not want a single gold standard for coinage; they desire the double standi-rd; both gold and silver maintained i.s legal tender coins, and a (ixed equality before the law—the people will take care of the outcome.

The Kentuckian’s stomach, it appears, cannot stand everything. In Louisville, recently twenty natives of the “dark and bloody ground” were made awfully sick by drinking milk. The supposition is that the change from sour-raash to milk was too abrupt.

The special pleas and legerdemain of words used by Congressmen who are false to the pledges made by them during the campaign, will not hoodwink the people. The advocacy of a double coinage standard and the continuance ol silver coinage before the election cannot be made to consist with the advocacy in Congress of the repeal of the Sherman act without any provision whatever being made tor future silver coinage. Those Dem ocrats in Congress who assist in de { monetizing silver and curtailing its | use as money will find their course ditticult to explain or sustain before their constituents.

The tariff will be revised ; tarifl taxion will be reduced to a revenue isis; the Democratic party will prove ue to its righteous and oft repeated edges. The Committee on Ways id Means is already at work on the ;w tariff measure and the bill will i introduced in due time.

I’ll eke are trials, troubles and trib ttions of a serious char ter at Bracaused by the publi 'tion of an davit made by Edwai l Chiles to i effect that John D Sourwine, the nnoter of the electric street car line Brazil, and G Van (iinkle of Det tines, la., president of the company, bed members of the city council, J also the county commissioners, gifts of stock,, to secure a franse to the streets of Brazil and along !common highway to Harmony.

The Congressional sensation of iturday was the speech of Senator all, of New York. He urged the speal of the Sherman purchasing :t as being “possibly most largely in. rumental in producing the existing implications,” he thought they were le natural result of many years of ■eal or fictitious” prosperity, partly ie to fear of protectionist manufacirers, and in part “a concerted effort i the part of numerous monometal its” to discredit silver; he favored ie continued coinage of silver ami b maintenancce as a legal tender

currency.

'Hold your wheat” seems to be id advice under the present State affaire. There seems to be no ubt that the crop is short. The jriculturist, in summing up the uation says: “The out-turn will t exceed 443,000,000 bushels, com red to 614,000,000 as the average the past two seasons and 400,000 ) in 1890. Nearly 2,500,000 less acres re devoted to wheat than last year i-l the bulk of this decrease was in } surplus States, which bid fair to ve 78,000,000 fewer bushels than t year and 125,000,000 bushels unr the surplus States’ product of 1891. ailable supplies of old wheat are ,000,000 bushels greater than twelve mths since, but even allowing that > farmers also hold 17,000,00Obushels >re old wheat now than then, the al supplies for the ensuing year are ly 500,000,000, or 114,000,000 less m the average of the two previous •ps. Our home consumption has jraged 365,000,000 bushels annually ving an apparent export surplus of >,000,000 bushels against exports t year of 192,004),000 and the seai before 225,000,000.

The repeal ot the Sherman silver ; law is a fixed fact so far as the House of Representatives has power to de cree. The vote on the question of re peal was taken on Monday, alter six different amendments has been offered and defeated. The ayes and nays on the amendments and final adoption of the Wilson bill repealing the Sher man act were as follows: For free coinage at the ratio of 16 to l: Yeas 124 Nays 227 For free coinage at the ratio of 17 to 1: Yeas 100 Nays 240 For free coinage at the ratio of 18 to X: Yeas 102 Nays 239 For free coinage at the ratio of 19 to X: Yeas 104 Nays - 23S For free coinage at the ratio 20 to 1: Yeas 121 Nays 222 Fur re-enactment of the Bland-Allison act: Yeas 136 Nays 213 For enactment of the Wilson bill: Yeas - 240 Nays 110 When the last vote was taken, to-wit: ou the adoption of the Wiison bill repealing the Sherman act every congressman from Indiana, Democrat and Republican, voted for the Wilson Bill. Should the Senate agree with the House, and give a majority for the unconditional repeal of the Sher man act, and it seems possible and probable that such will be tne outcome of the vote, the problem presented is, what about silver coinage in the future A large majority of the Democratic membersof the House, and many of the Republicans, asserted during the debate that they were favor able to silver coinage, and would give an equitable silver coinage measure most hearty support, but the first and most necessary legislation was the repeal of the Sherman law. There was a persistent and energetic pres sure upon Congress, from the outside, in the inrerest of “business,” for ini mediate repeal of the existing law This pressure proved even more effec live than the mostsanguiae expected ; the vote was overwhelming one sided ; this too, after days of speech making in which the science or alleged science and principles of finance were elaborated upon fur ihc edification and education of the people. 11 is to be hoped, in the interest of all interested, that the grave and courteous Senators will not devote too much time to talk ; an early vote will be best for all concerned. It is not to be supposed that the Wilson bill, which is simply a repealing measure, will end currency legis lation. Silver coin is and will continue a part and parcel of our currency ; the enactment of a new law. on a fair and jnst basis that will place and keep gold and silver at a parity can be effected expeditiously. Do what should and can be done without loss of time. Business ia business— this is no time for serio-comic displays.

Brookshire and Taylor, while four are in favor of the absolute demonetization of silver These are Messrs Bynum. Cooper Brown and Martin The other members are for repeal and further silver legislation.

The fact is noted that not a single farmer appeared before the State Board of Tax Commissioners to ap peal from his assessment for taxation because he thought it too high. The railroad and other corjiorations, and the large manufacturing concerns composed the army of kickers, ami they only clamored for a reduction of

their assessments

During the recent financial pinch Greencastle has been remarkably fortunate ; our city has suffered less than any place of like pojiulation within our ken. Working men have had al they could to do and their wages have been paid promptly*; business men have gone right, along witn their affairs and sales have been about as usual, and dullness, if any existed, has been in the real estate market.
