As manager of the Putnam clothing house I desire to state, we have made a deal for one of the largest and best clothing establishments in Indianapolis—$14,800.00 worth. We wish to convert this stock into cash at once. It is first-class goods. None better anywhere.

The railroad pass bill, which was to forbid members of the Legislature from accepting railroad passes, has been killed—it will be heard of no

The friends of John G. Shanklin, of Evansville, are urging that he he appointed Minister to Mexico, and Hon. Thomas Taggert is in Washington urging his claims. On Saturday Representative Moore was here, and the Republican politicians kept him well surrounded during his stay—Toni was full of information (?) which he imparted without stint.

One of our well-posted aad observant politicians who has been looking over the ground at Indianapolis, says the Nicholson Bill will not he passed ; it may go to the Senate, but there it will be garroted. The legislature is going to investigate the matter of the mutilation of the fee and salary law of 1891, whereby the law was made unconstitutional, and to this eud a committee has been appointed. Representative Hanna, of this county, is a member of this committee.

The Democratic party loses, by the death of ex-Gov. Gray, one of the wisestand far-seeing of its leaders —he was a natural leader amongst men, and had the shrewdness and sound judgment to so manage affairs with which he was connected that prompt indorsement by the masses was sure te follow. The question frequently bobs up: Whither are our public schools and their methods drifting? Failure of a Cincinnati boy to secure the grades in bis monthly report that he desired and believed he had earned, caused him to become so despondent that he took his own life. Is there a remedy for such evil results? This is not the only case of the kind recently reported in th. newspapers.

There is reason to believe Postmaster General Bissell will soon resign—the salary of the office, he says, is too smalt for the style of living demanded in Washington City.

The list of aspirants for the Republican nomination for Governor of Indiana in 1890 keeps growing—'tis said there are nineteen of them now, and yet Putnam county is not represented.

The public school system is to be made a portion of the spoils system by the Republican party—they say a bill is to be passed postponing the election of county school superintendents until after the new township trustees take office, in August next.

On Tuesday Willie Miller, stepson of Mr. and Mrs George Daggy, of Indianapolis, committed suicide, beenutVi Mrs. Daggy corrected him for bad behavior at school and failure to secure a satisfactory grade in his school report; the boy was thirteen years of age.

Three are a large number of amateur statesmen, of the Republican sort, in the Indiana Legislature, who are kept very busy dodging votes on delicate questions that might interfere with their future political preferment. The fact is that none of them will will ever be heard of us successful in politics, in the future, if the voters of Indiana keep well balenced minds and use ther best judgment in casti-g their ballots.

In due time the names of the politicians of Indiana who defeated Isaac P. uray s nomination lor Vice President will leak out. The nomination was assured him, but skullduggary in his own State turned the tide against him. The silver coinage bill secured the right of way in the Senate, on Monday, under the leadership of Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who made a mo. tiou that this measure be given consideration on Tuesday. The vote resulted in the adoption of the motion —yeas, 30; nays, 27.

Only about two weeks more of the present session of the Indiana Legislature; gaze on the record it has made ; think of the campaign promises unfulfilled ; observe the utter shiftlessness of this Republican outfit of state legislators, and then figure

The death of Ex-tiovernor Gray is deeply and widely mourned by the people of Indiana, and this fact is evidenced by the general desire to do honor to his memory, as well as by speaking words of praise and commendation of the deeds done in the (fesli. Honor to his memory was also displayed at the City of Mexico, where his death occured—the entire diplomatic corps followed his remains to the railread station, when the body was sent on his homeward trip, and detachment of Mex : can troops, together with commander of the Mexican army acted as the military escort on that occasion. The remains arrived at Indianapolis on Thursday afternoon, and were conveyed to the State House under military escort, and followed by the prounment public men of the State. The remains lay in state at the State House until Friday morning, when they were taken to his old home, at Union City, for burial. The ship canal project, to unite Lake Michigan with the head of navigable water on the Wabash river, seems to have winning qualities. A special from Washington, on last Tuesday, says : Congressman Cooper has been authorized by the sub committee on transportation to make a favorable report to the full committee on his joint resolution authorizing the survey of a route for a ship canal from the Wabash river to Lake Michigan. The members of the committee were surprised at the advantages of the proposed Wabash route over any other which had been suggested by the Illinois, the Ohio or Pennsylvania representatives and are quite enthusiastically in favor of giving the venture at least a fair hearing.

investigate the matter.

The consideration of the Nicholson Bill, in the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, brought to light a state of facts disgraceful to the Republican party, and more especially to that portion of the Republican party el*cted to the State Senate and Hou e of Representatives at the election in 1894. The Nicholson Bill, as our readers are aware, is a measure which seeks to regulate the sale of wines and liquors, and is somewhat stringent in its provisions. Since its introduction it has been sharply criticized and warmly championed I y its friends and enemies, but it has been well understood from the beginning that the Republicans would not allow the measure to become law— before the election they were ultra temperance men; since they were elected their temperance ideas have rapidly evaporated, in most instaneie. In Tuesday’s discussion of the bill, the members donned their war paint; it was a fight between Republicans, in which party trickery was exposed and campaign bargains were shown up in their true light. Representative Jackson, of Carroll county, however, gave the key to the situa lion and made plain the cause for the coming demise of the Nicholson Bill when lie told the truth: He charged members with being subsidi zed by the whisky league. Stepping forward a few feet he gazed arouu.l the hall and shouted: "You say this house is not subsidized ; and you get angry when you are charged with it. No wonder you raise your hypo critical eyes in horror. Here you are talking buncombe temperance legislation to these good people in the galleries and all the time there is a barrel of whisky in the basemem of this state house, which is free t< the members on ibis Door. It is very apparent that some of you have been there. No wender you’re mad I

You .”

What followed was lost in the terrible confusion which ensued. Many members turned pale and severa 1 abruptly left the hall. Two repuhli can members were visibly under th« influence of liquor at the time and their whisky had come from tin same barrel iu the basement. “Prove it! Prove it!” shouted several members. ‘T repeat just what I said,” shouted Jackson, “and no wonder you warn to hush me up. There is a barrel oi free whiskey down there and it wap furnished you by the whisky league You are shackled by it. You don’t deny it’s there.” Chairman Merritt rapped for order and the applause that went up from the galleries was so loud that Merri t threatened for the second time to clear them. Mr. Holloway’ washouting for recognition and while still burning under the lash of Jack son, ran down the hall to his side in a threatening manner. It looked although there would be a persona! contlict and the chair loudly’ called for a door keeper to interfere anil separate the men ami send members to their seat. Htutesman and Hollo way were led to their seats by Ser geant-at-Arms Graves.

San Francisco, Feb. 16.—The steamer Mariposa arrived fiotn Sidney and Auckland via Apia and Honolulu Friday morning, bringing the lollowiug Hawaiian advices; Kx-<Ju«*en Placed on Trial. Honolulu, Feb. 8. — Liliuokalani Dominis, ex-queen of Hawaii, was arraigned on the 5th instant on a charge of misprision of treason. The original charge was treason. She is represented by Haul Neumann. The first day was frittered away by the argument of counsel, who objected to the cou»t at every turn. His objections were overruled in every instance. After the charge was read the matter went over for a day. The case was called again day before yesterday and the deposed monarch refused to plead, so a plea of not guilty was entered. The work •f examining witnesses was gone through with and enough evidence secured to prove to the impartial observer that she was aware a rebellion was to be started. The most damaging evidence that will be brought against her will t>e her personal diary, which was found in her residence after her arrest. Whether this is introduced and made public at her trial depends very much upon the course pursued by her counsel iu defending her case. The Kx-^Jaeen'a Statement. While the trial of the ex-queen was in progress yesterday she was placed on the stand in her own behalf. The district examination was confined to the alleged conversation between her and Charles Clark, who testified that he informed her of the proposed rebellion. She denied that any such conversation took place. After her examination was concluded a statement written by her was filed. It commences with the time she was deposed and goes on to sav: TUe movement undertaken bv the Hawailans last month was commonced without my knowledge, sanction, consent or assistance, directly or indirectly, and this fact is, in truth, well known to those who took part la it. I received no information from anyone In regard to the arms which were to be produced, nor of any men who were Induced to join in any such uprising. I do not know why this information should be withhold from me. unless it was with a view to my personal safety nr us a precautionary measure. It would not have received my sanction, and I can assure you. gentlemen of this commission. that had I known of any suoh Intention I would have dissuaded the promotors from such venture. But I will add that, had I known, thotr secrets would have been mlue and Invlolulely preserved. ' That I intended to change my cabinet and to appoint certain officers of the kingdom. In the event of my restoration, I will admit, but that I. or anyone known to mo, hud in part or in whole established a new government le not true. Before the 54th of January, 1 05. the day upon which I formally abdicated and called upon my people to recognize the republic of Hawaii os the only lawful government of these islands and to support that government. I claim that 1 bad the right to select a cabinet in anticipation of possibility, and the history of other governments supports this right I was not Intimidated into abdicating, but followed the oounsel of able and generous friends and well wishers, who advised mo that such un act would restore peace and good will among my people. I acted on my own free will, and wish the world to know I have asked no Immunity or favor for myself nor pleaded my abdication as petition for mercy. •’1 must deny your right to try me in this manner and by a court which you have oalled together for this purpose.” Will Probably Mnd Her Gstllty. The military court will probably bring in a verdict of guilty in the case of the ex-queen, notwithstanding her demial. Bentence will be passed, hut it is not believed she will be imprisoned, but will bo allowed freedom on her own recognizance. So f.tr the government has not put into execution any of the death sen-

tences.

School Untldlng Destroyed White F.autii, Minn., Feb. 20.—The government school building was burned down during the night.
