We want a good correspondent at each postoffire in Putnam county. Those now acting ..s correspondents will please notify us when they axe out of supplies of any kind and we will lorwaid the same to them promptly The Legislature just convened seems more bent on passing laws to benefit the G. O. B. P. than to benefit the public.

It is nip and tuck between the Harrisonians nuJ the anti-liar risonians in the present Legislature; both gangs are striking for the hig gam*, and neither semi to care what becomes of the dear people who pay the taxes. The business outlook for 1'95, in Greencastle, is more promising and cheerful than in several years last past—with proper and well directed effort the physical development of Greencastle lor 1895 can be made phenomenal. The great mistake in our laws relatives to currency is that which gives organized capitalists the oppor tunity to drain the U. 18. Treasury of its so-called gold reserve, anil then force the Government to pay them a premium to get it back. The record so far is that twelve of Indiana's Republican statesman are in training for the nomination for Governor in 1896—this list numbers all ages, from 40 to 70 and all weights, but not all races—no colored aspirant has yet entered the lists The public are interested in the announcement that Senator Yoorhees is to enter the lecture field. The subject of his first lecture is “The Death, Burial and P.esurreetion of Christ,” and much curiosity is felt to hear what his treatment of the subject will be. The Martinsville Gazette has been •old by E. W. Gallia to George E. Finney, formerly of the Columbus Herald. The new proprietor is an able newspaper man, has had large experience in Democratic journalism, and will make a good newspaper for the people of Morgan county, and success in his new field is already assured. The reports in regard to the sufferings of the destitute in western Nebraska grow more terrible ; report is that thousands of families are in dire need of food, fuel and clothing, and that sickness and death are resulting from the need of the necessaries of life. Train loads of supplies are being sent to these sufferers from the more fortunate residents of other States.

Congressional and Legislative purposes in such a way that no Demo crat will have a ghost of a show for success at the polls, and yet these same Republicans have been howling ‘‘gerrymander” in a mournful manner for lo, these many years. The members of the present Congress will deserve the thanks of the suffering traveling public if they pass the law uow before them for consid eration, regulating sleeping car companies and the charges for the privilege of riding in their cars. The bill fixes a uniform rate of one-third of a cent per mile for the use of an upper berth; one-half a cent per mile for a lower berth, and one-half a cent per mile for i seat in a parlor car.

The millionaires seem to have sufficient pull with the members of the U. S. Senate to delay if not defeat the appropriation necessary to make the income tax law effective. It is evident that they will make a stubborn fight against it—this fact calls for consideration; it warrants the assertion that if the Senators were chosen by direct vote of the people the people would he better represented and millionaires would not be the power in legislation that they now are.

It seems that the organized capitalists of Wall street are on the war path, and are demanding from President Cleveland the official scalp of Sec retary of the Treasury Catlisle. Possibly the fact that they’ are demanding his scalp is the very best reason tor continuing Mr. Carlisle in his present position—opposition to the demands of these Shylocks is exhibition of a friendly spirit towards the masses.

The poor man is not “in it,’’ to any great extent, so far as getting the gold out of the U. S. Treasury is concerned ; be stands back and suffers the consequences, while the millionaires manipulate money matters to force an issue of interest bearing bonds to replenish the gold in the Treasury, which they buy at a profitable figure, and as soon as the gold is in they rush forward the legal ten ders and coin certificates lor redemption and get hack the gold they traded to the government for the bonds. Great scheme, hut it is tough on the people.

The hoard of seekers after spoils haunting the halls and lobbies of the capital at Indianapolis, this week, is greater than ever before known at any meeting of the Indiana Legislature; they are not only numeious, they are ravenous and bold in the search for their prey ; if noplace is in sight they demand that place be made for them, and will not take no lor an answer. If all signs do not. fail the present Legislature will prove a most harmful one for Indianamuch of the reform legislation of the past decade will be done away with or so amended and weakened that it will be of no effect, and strategem and spoils will take the place of Statecraft and economy. Our woid for it, the legislative record of the next sixty days will cause many a man to bitterly regret casting his vote for the Republican ticket in November, 1894.

In these latter days there are as many different vb wson the questions of finance as there are men interested these same questions. The trouble is, hewever, that these proposed diverse systems of finance are put forward with no backing save the word of their inventors; they lack the foundation of having been tried and found effective. The people want a certainty in money matters; they have tired of experiments in which they prove the victims every time. Surely there is an equitable and a just system of finance, that will prove lasting and render equal benefits to all alike ; if so let us have it, and quit mouthing on the subject. One of the new laws now before the Indiana Legislature for consideration is in regard to the saloon business ; it adds three additional holidays whereon liquors cannot be legally sold, to-wit: Thanksgiving Day, Washington's Birthday and Memorial Day. It also provides that on holidays and Sunday, and after closing hours at night curtains and screens must he removed so that a full inspection may be made, from the outside, of the interior of saloons; a penalty is provided for a person going into a saloon on these days whether he he proprietor or customer. Billiards, pool, cards or other games are prohibited in rooms where liquors are sold. A bond is required from each person securing a license and oath is required that the sureties arc in no way connected with the manufacture or sale of liquors. Selling to drunken persons isstrictly prohibited. The penalty for the violation of any of the provisions of the act is a fine from •$ 10 to •$100 and imprisonment for from thirty days to six months In addition the county commissioners are prohibited from granting a license to any person who has been convicted of a violation of the law within a year from the day of application.

Obituary.

ng rein

ner, who died, Jun. 4, 1895, aged 22 years and 3 months. “There is a reaper whose name is death, And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grains at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. Alas, how sadely did we realize the truth of these beautiful words of the poet, when the reaper came and called our dear young friend to cross the dark river and enter into the joys of the Lord. Tis only a short time since he a bright cheerful young man mingled in society, with the many friends, by whom he will never be forgotten. All through his sickness he was kindly cared for by fond parents, loving brothers and sisters, and faithful friends, all that could be done for him was done, but such is the Saviors will, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." He bore his sufferings patiently, within a few days previous to his death, he told them to let him rest for he saw a beautiful star above and he would soon 1 e the re, which so plainly revealed to his loved ones that Jesus had spoken peace to his soul. It was a “perfect evidence that the Savior had softly whispered, “It is I,“be not afraid. He leaves a father and mother seven brothers, six sisters, and a host of friends, to mourn their loss of a kintl son a loving brot her, and a faithful friend. We can say to the parents, brothers and sisters, that your loss is great indeed, but we hope his gain is greater. We extend our sincere sympathy to the entire

family

Sibley (dem., Pa.) who opposed the measure, and who, in referring to reports that the executive department was using its power to influence votes in favor of the bill, said; "Ma. ('baihiian: If I have read the eoustltutlon of the United States correctly, it defines the powers and duties of the chief executive and the powers and duties of the membership of this house: and I te!l you that If ever a rebuke was needed to one who has trampled down the prerogatives of the people it is to that man who has ivied h!s influence, or attempted to use it, to create In himself the sole governing power of this nation. It has come to a time when to be the government of this people requires something more than a combination of brains, belly and brass.” (Sensation and applause.] He referred to (Jeorge III., and said it bad been given out that anyone who voted against this bill would incur the displeasure of the king. Four days after the repeal of the Sherman act members bad told, him that they had been promised revenue collectorships if they would vote for repeal. Mr. Sibley continued; We saw our distinguished executive after the election of nfts hio himself away for recreation. Where on earth did he go? To the classic shons of Hug island. The Bible says that when tney are set at liberty each man wilj go to hla own place. Where did he go? To Buzzard's Bay. And ever since the eld ship Of State tins been bumnlnv her nose Into Hog Island and foundering In the waters of Buzzard's Bay with prosperity but a cable

length away.”

Speaking of his democratic principles, Mr. Sibley said that if he got into what he supposed was a mahogany wagon, and found it was veneered liasswood being driven over a rocky road by an inexperienced driver, he would jump out, and would not care much where he landed.
