The demand of the people for re form and reduction in tarill' taxation and the coinage of silver on an equality with gold will not down until righteous legislation on these lines is enacted. The move forward may be checked for a time, but the halt will only give renewed life and energy to the cause. These demands are right, and they will be upheld until they are recognized by the law making powers.
ONE of the aspirants for the Rcpuplican nomination for Secretary of S ate hails from Rushville, and his name is Wilson. His chief claim for
Republican suppoit in the convon tion and at the polls is the use he makes of the faculty of speech ; he avers loudly and oft’ times that he is antagonistic to and mad at “Pontius Pilate Cleveland and Judas Iscariot Gresham.’’ Wilson’s cognomen after the election will he “Denis.”

High salaries and extravagance along all lines of public affairs in Greencastle account for the high rate of taxation in this city. This matter can he remedied at the polls at the next election, by defeating the ring
ticket.
The indications are that a few Democratic U. S. Senators are thora>:;glily convinced lhat the people are wrong and woefully ignorant on the fl«#8tion of tariff taxation. When Cite time comes the people will conwiaoe these Senators that their judg ment was biased by prejudice or fc-iVusider.
The Republicans are feeling aw fully strong and powerful and the only way to account therefor is to attribute it to second-childhood The party has not lived long hut very fast, to the detriment of the best in teiest of the people, hence its early decay and lack of solid, substantial judgment.

The way to reform is to reform, and it is not too soon to bcg ti. Greeiicastle city affairs are not and have not been managed for the best interests of the tax payers, and a change is demanded.

There is to ho a conference of County and City Health Officers held at Indianapolis, on April 11 and 12 The state hoard of health announces that Indiana is now free from smallpox, the first time in a year.

During his recent visit to Washington City Governor Matthews was interviewed by a reporter of the Post, who eikited the following very plain statement in regard to the beat of the political pulse in Indiana He said : I am not among those who are dis posed to think that the battle between the two great parties has already been fought and lost by the Democracy I can only speak for Indiana, and so far as it is concerned the issue is bound up in the action of Congress and the administration. If the pledges Made to the people are Kept then there is no fear of the result. It our people are disappointed in Congress then there is some ground o' apprehension. The course pursued here will almost certainly determine the question of how the Slate will range itself in November. Chict among the things to he desired from the standpoint of an Indiana Dem crat is the passage of the Wilson bill just as it came from the House. \W stand squarely hy the House hill, foi it is in line with the pledges that Democratic leaders have been making for the past twenty years.
