Robbery tinder the form of law is practice 1 in the city of Greencastle, by the city government, in that the public funds have been appropriated to pay private indebtedness. The idea of the Republicans who rule Greencastle seems to be to tax the people heavily and spend money with a lavish hand, regardless of right and regardless of the interests of the taxpayers. At the coming city election opportunity is offered to turn over a new leaf by turning the Republican ring candidates out of the city crib.

The edict lias gone fortli; it has been pronounced by Congressman Conn, of Indiana, af follows : ‘ Congress needs more business men and fewer country lawyers to look after public interests. The impression prevails among most voters that the most important qualifications of a congressman is a gift of eloquence, and candidates for congress are us ually selected because of their ability

When

the truth is, that speech-making is more of detriment to useful legislation than any other cause. To be able to explain a measure in an in telligent manner is all that is necessary, and if congressmen are capable of injecting business ideas into the work of congress it is a thousand times more beneficial than eloquent language which contains nothing but smooth sounding phrases.”

From the wild expressions of en thusiastic but illy informed Republicans it would seem that they expect to carry Indiana by an overwhelming majority next November, and not

of each individual. Colonel Breckinridge has added to his reputation for many years, and he is now reaping the crop of unenviable notoriety he so industriously cultivated during those years. Possibly the smallest, meanest, and most contemptible part ot his reputation has been earned in the past few days, in that lie has attempted to unload his guilt and excuse his lust by indirectly charging that he was enticed and led into tiie ways of sin by a school girl yet in her teens, while he was nearing ids 3

The calamity howlers and protec tion defenders were given a whole lot of “tafi’y on a stick,” at the Mayor’s office, Saturday—Mr. Owen, who wants to l>e Secretary of State, and Thos. Hanna, who hones to be Clerk of the Supreme Court, and Gowdy, the Chairman of the Republican

with the possible exceptions of Texas and Kentucky. These Republicans will wake up the morning after the election and find their mistake. Tiie Democracy are awake and organized for tiie campaign before us; they are aware that tiie issue at stake is a great one ; they know that a vie lory for protection means a continued drain on their purses for tne benefit of those who already have more than their share of wealth ; they know that Democratic victory means tiie overthrowing of class legislation and and tiie elimination of unjust taxa tion. In Indiana the Democratic party is in good trim, under the leadership of Hon. Thos Taggart, Chairman, and a State Central Com mittee that is more capable of showing off to good advantage 'as workers than as talkers. This organization is backed by tiie people of the State. The masses understand that the

Should that old sensatk nal society drama, “Led Estray,” be placed on the stage again, according to tiie eternal fitness of tilings Colonel Breckinridge, of Kentucky, should star in the title role; lie could give the part a realistic interpretation not to be sneezed at. Just think of the way he lias been martyred—a 70-year old innocent led astray by the wifi's and waywardness of a designing and wicked Miss of 17.

The Supreme Court has refused to grant a rehearijg in the saloon case and the decision is thus virtually reaffirmed. This decision is that tiie owner of property adjacent to or in tiie vicinity of a saloon may bring suit for damages, and on proof of such damages by tiie depreciation in value of liis properly by reason of such saloon, lie may recover. This, The Indianapolis Journal says, "is be lieved to he the first decision of the kind by any court in the United States, and it is as important as it U novel.” It establishes a rule by which cou-'ty commissioners will hereafter be governed in Indiana.

The Republicans held a pow wow here, on Saturday, in the Mayor’s office. The workers, and strikers, and pelf providers had teen summoned trom all parts ot the county by T. T. Moore, and they were ban died in a dainty manner. Speeches were made to them by Hon. Thos Hanna, Hon. W. I). Owen, and State Chairman Gowdy, and the eflbrt was that they should address only Republicans, but some outsiders got in side and heard the screeds delivered. A closer organizition, and one moie secret in its methods, met during the day, however, to consider a very grave sul ject, and that was candi dates on the county ticket. The bosses are forninst many of those who are volunteering to sacrifice themselves on the county ticket, and don’t want them nominated. Especial objection is made eepecially to some two or three who are paiticu larly prominent in urging their claims to a plaie on the ticket, the objection being that they are not controlled or controllable ; that they think and act for themselves, and will not “pony up’'liberally for campaign expenses(?) Our information is that ways were devised apd means will be employed to choke them ott - . 1

I)rkiN(; this week Governor Matthews and other State officers have been at Washington City, looking after the interests of the State in tiie big tax law suit which was appealed from tiie Indiana Supreme Court to the U. S Supreme Court. A special

The state Courts have upheld the law, and an peals were taken to the nation's high est tribunal. Governor Matthews, who was the greatest champion of the law before and after its passage, thought it would be well for himaeli and other state officials to be here when arguments were heard, t^ues lioneu on p./liliea, Governor Matthews remarked : “On state issues Indiana would go tremendously Democratic. If we could hold our elect ions at all times on local issues, and with no interference of national af fairs or outside politicians, we would always be Democratic.

IMr Transactions In Wheat at St. Louis. St. Louis. March 28.—There were large cash transactions in wheat Tuesday in the St Louis market, nearly 800,000 bushels of the contract grade being sold. Nearly all this wheat was sold for rail shipment to Baltimore, from whence it will be exported to Europe. These sales strengthened every market in the country, as it was evident the price here was low enough to attract buyers. No. 2 red wheat sold here for 58% cents, which is within 2 cents of the lowest price cash wheat ever sold at in this market.

Made to Rob Hi# Own Htore. Agnes, Tex., March 28.—Three men aroused B. Barnard, proprietor of a large general store, to purchase, so they said, a shroud. Barnard got it for them, when they stole from him all the clothing each could wear. Then, covering him with Winchesters, they compelled Barnard to loot his own safe of nearly (1,000 and to break into the post otlice and turn over to them all the cash and stamps. A posse is in pursuit.
