Katoru.1 at Iho post oifleo at Hope, Indiana, l*s second chiss matter, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1833. The newly-elected legislature meets to-day at Indianapolis. It has much work to do. The state will have to bo re-districted, since the former law was declared unconstitutional. A matter of importance to all, a*T%?speeially to farmers, is some legislation respecting good roads. The question of taxation needs attention, and all unnecessary drains upon the state treasury should be stopped. Our country starts on its New Year under circumstances of great prosperity. Trade everywhere is reported good; our crops have been good and the demand for them for homo and foreign markets is excellent; our exports arc in excess of our imports. Manufacturing enterprise is in a healthy state and will continue so unless doubt as to the action of the incoming administration shall grow sufficiently to make in vestments uncertain. How long the United States can continue to purchase six tons of silver daily and keep up the pretense' that sixty-five cents of this-metal is at par with one hundred cents of gold, is a question which just now is agitating the financiers of our country. It cannot be done, indefinitely, that is certain, and it is doubtful if the present congress will do anything to remedy the matter. The silver men are too wildly insane in their monetary theories to permit anything to be done just now. Fresh cases of cholera are reported iu the old world countries. Congress should not delay the passage of strict quarantine measures against the classes likely to be infected with the dread disease. Fear that it will injure the attendance at the World’s Fair should not deter them, since a failure to quarantine against probable infection will act as a greater bar to visits from uninfected districts. If proper quarantine legislation is passed the better classes will not stay away through fear that the cholera may break out during their attendance at the Fair. The popular vote for President in 1892 will stand, according to the Inter-Ocean, as follows: Cleveland, 5.567,990; Harrison, 5,176,611; Weaver, 1,025,060; Bid well, 258,317, a total of 11,002,947. This is rather a light vote. There must bo 65,000,000 people iu the United States, and at i lie usual rate of one voter for every live persons there should be nearly 2,000,000 more voters than there were votes cast. "Making a good allowance for sickness, absence from home and other unavoidable causes t here were more stay-at-homes than | there were votes for Weaver and Bit!well together. Was ever a university so fortunate as the new Chicago University? Only last week the announcement ■was made that John T). Rockefeller had added another million dollars to ! bis already princely gifts to the! young institution. And in the same paper was the announcement of a gift of $250,060 from an unknown iriend. This makes a total endowment of about $1,300,000. Of this amount $3,600,000 is the gift of Mr. ) lockefel’er. At no time has a great university been founded and placed iu such good condition in so short a lime. lb has sprang to a place among the great universities of our country at the very start. At the present rate before it has been running five years it will be the best financially iu America. And Prasic cut Harper is seeing to it that the teaching force is kept up tu the same hign n-L-nUara.

The following from the London Statist shows the opinion which England holds concerning our country: ‘■The American people are descended from economically the most effective race iu the world. They settled in the states, taking with them a highly developed civilization and habits of law and order confirmed through many generations. They have half a continent at their coiamanu, tacre , a lii ct a \a^t

amount of unoccupied soil, there is a diversified climate, there are resources almost limitless, and there is absolutely no enemy they have cause to fear. Except to maintain internal order they arc free at this moment to disband their army and their navy, certain that no foreign foe will attack them. The world lias never seen a people so happily circums .anced, with such marvelous opportunities for progress and improvement.” SCHOOL NOTES.
