Mr. Siiamclin's opposition to Gray’s appointment to the Mexican mission amounted to nothing. An Indianapolis correspondent for the Journal and Messenger says: “The legislature which has just adjourned is an argument for the continued preaching of the Gospel in Indiana.” Citizens of Indiana will do well to keep in mind until the time for electing the next legislature, these words of Dr. Parkhurst: “The proper time to prevent vicious legislation is when you are electing legislators. Isaac Pusey Gray has at last received the oft-delayed recognition at the hands of the new adminstration. There was talk of sending him to China but tiny Celestial Kingdom would be a little too distant, to give him a good view of politics, in which he is still very much interested. In the case of Winfield S. Sage vs. E. & T. H. railroad company, Judge Howard, of the Supreme court, gave his decision last Saturday. The latter part of it will interest many of our readers; , Railroad companies may require passengers to buy tickets before taking passage upon trains, in ease facilities, for so purchasing tickets are provided, and may require those not purchasing tickets to pay extra fare upon the train. The Cincinnati Tribune is fast gaining a permanent place with the news-readers of the Ohio valley, It is bright, spicy and clean. Just the paper we prefer to see in our homes. Every number we' read adds to our depreciation of its merits. In poliwhile it«s outspokenly EepablD |Ln, it is not of that hide-bound class Inch can see no evil in its owa party |ad no gool in its oppo.iets. It has >laced its ‘If on a higher plane and by so doing will tend to make its own party broader and less partisan. Enough money has been raised by gratuitous donations to entirely liquidate the $95,000 indebtedness of Governor McKinley. The Governor declined to receive any of these gifts, returning them “with many, many thanks.” But his trustee has been unable to restrain the popular outburst and has accepted gifts enough to liquidate the indebtedness. He will then present I he Governor and his wife with their household and other property as a gift from the Governor's friends. •The legislature showed a r'markable amount of effrontery toward the Supreme court in passing practically the same gerrymander of the state that was declared unconstitutional last December. That the court will now reverse /ts decision is not to be expected. A test case will be brought I at once iij/the Marion county Circut Court case taken from that I to the "Sniri f ,v ’ ' Mjud-

! 'j The case should be pushed best legal talent that can be laired. This legislature deserves J#be taught that its folly and wanton Postinacy is not approved by the court; and then at the next election ’et the court of the people decide whether they are worthy of again making laws for our great commonwealth. Hlalte Your Own Opportunities. The true way to deal with adverse circumstances is to bo a still greater circumstance yourself. Nine out of ten of the men who have been eminently successful in their callings have fought the battle of life up hill against many opposing forces. Instead of bemoaning their hard lot, they have bowed to the inevitable and used it to their advantage. Instead of asking for an impossible chess-board, they have taken the one before them and played the game. Look at that tireless worker, Lord Brougham. Can anyone believe that by any combination of circumstances his talents could have been kept from asserting themselves and winning recognition? It has been said that if his station had been that of a shoeblack, he would never have rested content till he had become the first shoeblack in England. The luck of N.poleop and Nelson consisted, they said, in being a quarter of an hour before their time. When, in the darkest hour of the Indian Mutiny, a handful of Englishmen, poorly armed and provisioned, but splendidly led, won eight victories in succession, the revolted sepoys said their conquerors had “the devil’s luck”; but the only luck in that case was that of force of will, invincible courage and skill in arms. Good luck is desirable even when you have done your best to succeed, but remember that the most favorable circumstances or strokes of fortune are of little value unless you have prepared yourself to take advantage- of them. Of what use would Hayne s fiery speech have been to Daniel Webster if he had not with the instinct of genius, long before equipped himself for the assault which he repelled with such crushing energy? Had he not previously weighed and refuted in his own mind the charges of his opponent, his reply, instead of ranking among the greatest masterpieces of oratory, might have only revealed his own weakness. Thousands of men had seen the prints of a horse’s hoofs in the soil before Faust discovered by them the art of printing. The discovery by Edison of the carbon by which he perfected his telephone seems a happy accident; but such accidents never happen to common men. The great inventor scraped some soot from the blackened chimney of his laboratory lamp, and in a spirit of curiosity tested its properties. It proved to bo the very thing for which he was searching; but behind this fortunate discovery was a series of exhausting and exhaustive experiments with all kinds of likely materials, absorbing the energies of many months. The lucky hit rewarded the persistent will of a patient workman. So with the young arid obscure lliwyer who conducts and wins a difficult case, as did Thomas Erskine, in his elder’s illness; or the struggling surgeon who has a sudden chance of distinction offered to him; he must have had a long and laborious preparatory training before he can prefit by such an emergency. In short, a great opportunity is worth to a man precisely what his antecedents have enabled him to make of it. —William Mathews, in Harper’s Young People. My left arm was lame and painful all last summer from rheumatism; last fall I suffered from a persistent pain in my back in the region of kidneys; fearing my kidneys were affected I commenced laking K. E. N. T. S. When I had taken three bottles I found 1 had been completely cured of both troubles. My surprise was great as i hadn ’t thought of it curing my arm; have had no symptom of either trouble since. It surely is an efficacious remedy. Hf.oiv Stit.tz. I Hope, Mch. 1,1893. Shipp & Son. 1

Com-ernliiK Appointment*. From direct statements by President Cleveland, Postmaster-General Bissell and other members of the Cabinet, the following code of rules can now be authentically given as those which will govern all appointments to the public service under this administration: 1. Incumbents will be retained in office untill their commissions expire, unless there is voluntary resignation. When there is no commission fixing tenure the incumbent, if efficient, will be permitted to serve for four years from the time of appointment. 2. No one who held office under the former Cleveland administration will be again appointed to office, the only exception being to railway mail clerks and postoffice inspectors. 3. No appointments will be made in States having spring elections until they have occured. 4. All postmasters must divorce themselves from private business, except instances where, in the fourth class, the pay is so small that postmaster can not give undivided time to the postoffice. 5. Appointments will not be made upon magnitude of petitions or indorsements alone, but the character, appearance and evident fitness of the applicant for the place must also be considered. 6. As appointments are of an executive and not of political character, recommendation by primary election will not be prevail. 7. No exception will be made to rule 2 in favor of applicants who were removed from office by last adminstration before they had served the full term of four years, no matter how brief their service may have been. J. W. Womack, a veterinary surgeon of Shelbyville, was in town Friday night shaking hands with old acquaintances. “There is a salve for every wound.” Wo refer to DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, cures burns, bruises, cuts, indolent sores; as a local application in the nostrils it cures catarrh, and always cures piles. S. Stapp & Son. As it takes size, style, speed and good clean limbs, with good solid colors to make good sellers, I ask the breeders of fine horses to come and see colts on my farms near Bynum, Ind., before breeding next spring. J. W. Rosencrans. H. H. Hadley, of De Pauw University won the prize in the State oratorical contest last Friday night at Indianapolis. Walter M. Wood, of Indiana University took second honors. Mr. Hadley will represent Indiana in the inter-state contest. Geo. s. coon DEALER IN Xj umber, LATH AND SHINGLES. RED CEDAR POSTS.
