The new pork packing season has more than met expectations ao far. About 100,(XX) more bogs have been packed since the 1st of March than were during the first half of March last year—a gain of 21 per cent. The Governor of Indiana is now enjoying well earned rest—for several days before the final adjoinment ol the Legislature he was well nigh worn out writing veto messages on the laws passed by (he fool legislature. Aiisolute proof that free trade would extend American commerce tw the end of the world is given in report from Claude Meeker, Consul at Bradford. He says that woolen cloth manufactured in the United Slates is being sold in England at prices that astonish the British manu facturers and merchants.
The P0 years service of Judge Holman in Congress causes him to make public his opinion that there is no money in politics- he leaves Congress a poorer man than when he was when he began his first term. Holman forgets that there is a difference in men; John Sherman entered Congress a poor man, he has stuck to Congressional life as long as Holman an.l he is now a millionaire.
There can be no successful denial that the appropriations of the Reed Congress aggregated $1,035,(WO000. It cannot be denied that the Fiftythird Congress held appropriations down to $‘J , X ,000,000, in spite of the sugar bounty and liberal allowance for new warships; in spite, also, of the continuing obligations laid upon the Government by the Reed Congress. Democratic economy is not an empty phrase.

The law against, winter racing in this Slate has taken Harrison off the track, but he will be in the presidential preliminery canter early iu May. It is now in order for the Supreme Court of Indiana to knock out the Republican gerrymander of the State. Let the matter be attended to at an earlv day. They have invented a new word in the Northwest; it is “whozee” and it is meant to describe and express the state of the weather when the thermometer marks 30 degrees or more below zero, and the air is so calm and still thathaught seems to move that does not belong to the animate order of things The failure of the legislature to pass the bill to suppress prize fighting in Indiana is accounted for by the fact that the Republican members wanted to indulge in a prize fight of their own, at the close of the session. A fight to the finish between Corbett and Fitzsimmons Would be far more respectable llidli the rough-and-tumble niebe indulged in by the Republican members of the legislature on that occasion.
The question as to where the next Democratic and Republican National Conventions will be held is already receiving attention, and the people of San Francisco, and in fact of the wbo'e S'fte of C'difornis, are riokicg a strong pull to have the Republican Convention held in San Francisco All sorts of inducements will be held out, and the possibilities are that the convention will be held there. St Louis is setting the pins to have the Democratic convention held in that «ity. There is an evolution in progress in church affairs, and it has just been made very prominent in Boston, where one of the large congregations has just built a new parsonage for its pastor. This new' domicile for the preacher has, in additon to the usual parlors, dining room, kitchen and bedrooms, rooms fitted up with gymnasium fixtures, with billiard and pool tables, and with the rim and halls of a bowling alley. The garret of the residence is finished as an amusement hall, with stage, footlights, si enery, etc.
Just at present the question of finance overshadows all else. Other subjects at one time uppermost are not now mentioned. It is all finance A great subject, too, one over which great men disagree. But other sul jects are not dead. They are simply lying dormant. The tariff at the proper time w ill again demand attention. When the clouds roll by it will be found that the democratic policy is the right one ; that a reduction of the tariff rates, means greater business for the country, cheaper g >ods for the masses, and at the same time good prices for the manu facturer, who, instead of being satis-
fied with reasonable profits has Dunlavy; apron, Mrs N. J. Dunlavy; «■<«• on hi. sssr'sr^k^^T?:

Golden Wedding.
Isaac and Sarali Storm celebrated their golden wedding at their comfortable home in Marion township, on March 15, 1895; a large gathering of friends were present to extend congratulations to the aged couple. Many were the elegant presents received by Mr. and Mrs. Storm, which were accepted as so many testimonials of the regard in which they are held by their friends; it is impossible to give a complete list of presents and tiie names of those making them. Among them, however, we will mention: Gold sugar shells marked 1845. 1895, presented by 1). W. Alspaugh an i wife; isinp, R. S. Oliver and wife; $2.50 gold piece. Mrs. J. \V. Bridges; ruby tea set, S. A. Cox and Clms. Siddons and wife; gold berry spoon, H. C. Storm and wife; pair cups and saucers. Mrs. F. G. Bryan and daughter; cup and saucer, (). B.

Elliott and wife; pair towels, Mrs. Osier; cane, chinaware and towels by daughters—Mary, Alice and Ella; cup and saucer. Miss Fannie Osier; handkerchief, J. W.
One of the arguments used by the R» publicans in the last campaign was the extravagance of the last two or three Indiana Legislatures. All the changes were rung—useless em ployes while tiie legislature was in session, extra pay appropriations, etc. The Republicans have now had control of one Indiana Legislature, and they have made a record of expenses, and a comparison shows that the last three Democratic legislatures cost the Stat e, on an average, about $85,000 each ; the Republican legislature which closed last week costs the State II^.OG). The Republicans appropriated $100,(00 for Legislative expenses ; this amount lias all been paid out and there are warrants issued for about $12 000 more, which the holders cannot realize on until the next Legislature makes an appropriation to pay them.
Mich has been recently said in regard to the action of the French Government against the importion of American beef cattle into France, and effort has been made to pull down the price of cattle because of this action. The figures show there is nothing in the scare. France and Germany together bought only 24,000 head from us last year, as compared with 385,794 taken by Great Britain and Ireland. The purchases of France alone amounted to 14,540 head, for which she paid not quite $1,200,000. This is a pretty large sum and yet it is only 3 per cent of our total receipts from cattle sold to Europe last year. Notwithstanding the loss of Germany’s patronage in the early part of November, we had a bigger foreign trade in cattle last year than in 1893. There was, in fact, an enormous increase—75 per cent. In money it amounted to about $ Hi,000,000 and it is interesting to find that $15,000,000 of the gain came from the United Kingdom. We hope to recover our lost trade with both France and Germany, but there will be no occasion for despondency even if the effort is not success-
