population of the F-tato In 1810 tvas 24.O00. In lH5o this was increased to IH,(K0. and. according to the r.rtlou:! census of lf'J0 the uuiubtrnns 'J.ID.mkjo. In'lS'J- Indiana produced more vheat than any other State in the Union, tfco four largest In amount beln the following: Indiana, 5.3X,iHa bushels; Minnesota. 55.:;ao.K); Missouri, 54,bjO.OOO; North Dakota. r J,H ViK. In the same rear the yield of corn In Indiana wan rJi.lOO.OoO bushel, nnd Hie output of bituminous coal over 2,000.000 tons. The reports lor lf?i2 show the value of livo etock to exceed 100,00,000 and the value of manufactured products to bo more then o,ooo.ooo. We have a more even distribution of population than is usual with bo inrpe an ncirreKate: consequently, "while we may lack multimillionaires, we are free from concentrated poverty. Our large cities ar located Just outside the State. so that wo enjoy the advantages of the best market, without t.-e disadvantages. Jo ttlcal a:id otherwise, of a great metropolis, ndiannpoll. the capital of the State, is a prosperous city of 125.0OO Inhabitants. Our provision for education Is on the same wlserdaaof distribution. Our common school fund is one of the largest per capita In the United states, and our common school system Is so irood that half of tho ritates in the Union have incorporated its essrntial features into their own syntems. while experlencea educator from other countries have mont cordially commended it. W'n have no treat university located at a slngla point, but our LIrfher InstitutiOi.s of learning are Hunted In different parts of the Stat, so that their advantages are more widely distributed. U'Iim real University of Indiana is the aggregation of colleges, which represents an equipment of several millions in vnlue, with two or three hundred Instructors and more than live thousand students. In the exposition Indiana 1a modestly but fairly represented. In the department of mines and mining, the oolitic limestone, block coal, kaolins and clays are dewrvlng of the most careful examination, especially by capitalists seeking the bent locations lor investments. With these natural products are shown the varieties of petroleum which are found in the Htate. To these rhould be added the great resources of the btate in natural gas, and it Trill be found that our Btate possesses advantages lor all kinds of manufactures second to none in the world. The wheat, corn aud other cereal in the agrieultnral department ure equal in variety and quality to the ttpecimeus hown by any State. In tho Forestry iiulJdinir we have a fair presentation of our commercial woods. In the tine arts department tve are represented by a number of our most dh-tinguHhed artists, while in the department of woman's work our display is unexcelled. The best collective display made by the Htate Is in the department of education. In the Liberal Arts Ruiidlng. The arrangement illustrates most successfully 'onr excellent graded system of schools, from the kindergarten to the high school, and U worthy of tho most careful examination either by citizens of our own State who wish to know fully what Is beln dene or by other who are seeking Information for the purpose of improving tbeir own systems. The exhibit of pursue. University, which is connected with the educational display, shows the excellent plant of tno university lor industrial and sMentltlo work and the success which is being obtained by the students. Tho individual exhibits In the different department.", by our citizens, compare favorably with similar exhibit from other States and foreign nations. The display of wagons, carriages, furniture, encaustic tile, glass, electrlo supplier wood and iron working machinery is worthy of special commendation. A more massive and impressive exhibit for Indiana is outalde of the exposition In the great Art iiuiidlng, now nearly completed on the lake front in Chicago. This building Is to be the permanent memorial of the exposition attcr all traces of tho "white city" have disappeared, and we aro glad to have It Raid that this memorial is preserved in Indiana limestone. Finally, let us rl.e to a liberal appreciation of this great exposition in all its parts, not as the competitive representation of dllterout States and separated nationalities, but as the tinitied exhibition of the progress of our race. We are uearing the clone of the century of inventions, as tho nineteenth century v ill be designated in the history of centuries, and from this vantage prouud n is our priceless privilege to review the achievements of man. II. Perry D. Creager. of Kendallville, text presented the beautiful aud costly Has whioh is to surmount the building, the gift of tho school children of that city. The speech was particularly pertinent aud creditable, the point being that such an event impresses the lessons of patriotism upon the children, better fitting them for citizenship than a smattering of knowledge. The flag was accepted by the Governor, in another graceful speech. The crowd then surged into the reception room to shake the hands ot General Harrison and Governor Matthews. Among the distinguished persons in attendance -were Susan li. Anthony and Charles J. Murphy, who has done so much to introduoe American corn to Europeans. Chief Duchunan, of the live stock Department, to-day announced changes of much importance to Indiana exhibitors. In tbe first place, tho ownership necessary for eligibility was reduced from sixty to thirty dui'S bo foro the lrtst day for entries. The dates were changed so as to permit exhibitors to exhibit at the world's fair, nnd then at the Stat fair. The dates changed are as follows: Tho exhibition of livo etock will open Aug. '1, ana close Oct. 23, and w ill comprise the following divisions: Exhibition of cattle aud horses, Aug. 21 to bept. U: exhibition of sheep and swine, heyt. J5 to OoL 14; exhibition of poultry, Oct. 16 to Oct. 2. Entries in tho above classes will close as follows: Cuttle and horses, July 1.; sbncp and swine. Aug. 1; poultry, Aug. Vj; fat stock, Aug. 15. The Attempt to Might Harrison. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, June 15. The reason that President Harrison was not invited some time ago to deliver an address at the dedicatory services to-day baa just leaked out. Through tho opposition of Ed Hawkins and others among the commissioners, a few prominent Indiana men were not in vited to deliver addresses., Several months ago, at one of the meetings of the commissioner Judge Martimlale proposed that ex-President Harrison and two other men of national prominence in the State be in vited. These other invited speakers were to be men whose reputation had been gained outside of politics, but the faat that they happened to be KeDublicans aroused the opposition of Hawkins, aud Havens, Uarvruund Stnart sided with bun. President Harrison came to the fair without any intention to speak. The people made a great deal to do over him when he arrived, in Chicago, and on Tuesday the commissioners thought it wonld be a wise plan to ask him to speak. He, of course, promptly declined, and attended the ceremonies to-day as a plain Hoosier citizen. The crowd caught sight of him and howled o mightily for him that he had to speak. It looked tike an ellort by the people to rebuke small-fry Democratic politicians of the Hawkins stripe. The Hoosiers were prond of tbe opportunity of having the exclusive honor of an ex-President of the United States to assist in the dedication of its buildings. Tho Hoosiers were prond of that fact, as well as of their home in the world's fair grounds. As President btudebaker finished speaking there came from the crowd on the grounds a shout of Harrison' "Here comes Harrison," which increased in volume. Tho spare form of President Higinbotham was seen to emerge from the mass of nnmanity around the tlower-decked speaker's platform. Close bohind him came benjamin llarrisou, citizen, and a storm of cheering broke over the assemblage. Tht applause continued until the ex-President was escorted to the platform to bow his acknowledgments. G HUMAN DAY" AT THE FAIIt

Parade Speeches. 8ung nnd Music Galore, with hii Ebullition 4i f Patriotism. Special toth lnd:anato!is JourntL Chicago, June 15.- "German day" at the exposition needed but the august presence of his Majesty, Emperor William, to make the success of tho Tentonio season of festivity complete in every detail. Tho weather was glorious the crowds and the enthusiasm most marked. From noon until late in tho evening German bands and drum corps, at the heads ot bands of shouting Teutons, marched through all parts of the parks, and the colors cf the United Mates, intermingled with the tricolor and eagle of Germany, floated from every buildinu. In additiou to Germany's jollification. Arkansas and Indian, entered tho Colombian Onion of commonwealths by dedicating their btate buildings, and these events drew out crowds to tho different parts of the grounds. The masses Trere everywhere, a'l the building wt crowded; the dtllerent streetsabout the grounds were thronged and the electric launches and gondolas did a thriving husines. All the balconies and promenades on top of the buildings held crowds constantly during the day and venintr, and when tho crowds went home to-night after witnessing the iiruworks the

gates were closed on the largest crowd that yet has attended tbe fair in one day. Standing on the raised tiers of seats in front of the German Building, this afternoon, and gazing to the south and to the north as far as the eye could roach, all that conrd be seen was humanity and the colors of llas and banners wedged between tbe lake shore and the fringe of bnildings west of the beach promenade. The celebration of German day, judged by the standard of attend&uce, was the most successful of any fete day which has been held in connection with the fair. Princess Eulalia's day must now take second place. At 1 o'clock tbe bands which participated in the parade began to render music in front of the building erected by the German empire. On tbe stone-bedded beach, inclining towards Lake Michigan, was a large gallery of seats, which were rapidly filled by the German-American world's fair chorus and the united singing societies of Chicago. The singers faced the invited guests, who were accommodated on tiers of seats wnich uad been raised across the promenade, sloping from tbe entrances towards the building. Kising from the center of the seats was a box in which the speakers stood, but. in spite of their best ell oris, their words were only heard by a few thousands of the standing and seated multitude. At one time there were probably fifty thousand men, women and children with their faces turned toward the imperial building of Germany, lhere wua no accommodation for this vast mass of humanity, although the exercises were long aud late in beginning. A PHBT1Y PICTUKP. On tbe top tier of the singers' stand glistened theeagle-capped banners and flags of the societies which marched in the parade. The whole animated picture was as pretty as will ever be seen in tho "White City." One thousand voices blended in tbe singing of "Germany Over All." by Joseph Hayden, under tbe direotlonof G. ivatzenberger. While tbe singing and speech-makiug were in progress, band alter band of music, followed by suctions from the city, took positions in tbe places provided tor them in the stand. Von liulow'a orchestra, the German infantry band from tho village, and the Spanish baud contributed the instrumental muaic. The imperial German commissioner. Privy Councilor Wermnth, in court dress, bubbled over with American and German patriotism. The address ot Harry lichens conveying a greeting to the representatives of the German empire from their fellow-countrymen in Chicago wan patriotic, bnt broken in two by tliearnval of Von Huloiv's band and marching men. "Wachtaui Khein'" was sung with fervor by a thousand voices and orchestral accompaniment. The response came from liaron Von llolieuben, embassador to the United States, a studious man in spectacles, who wore tlie deoerution of the Order of the Iron Cross. The Baron concluded his speech by oalliug for three cheers for the President of the United States, and they were given with a will. Harry Knbens asked the assembly to rise nnd join in an enthnsiastio "booh" to old Germauy. which was done. The speakers nearly all the time faced the audience on the guests' platform only, so that few outBid the charmed circle could hear. More than twenty thousand people left before the exercises were over, beoause they could hear nothing and see little. . Even the scholarly oration of Carl Schorz was interrupted, but those who beard him cheered and applauded everv few minutes. Mr. Schurz spoke of the great exhibit made here by Germany, and bow proud the Gerzuaus were of it. Ho reminded the audience of the great progress Germany had made since 1875, wheu the empire was only five years ol age, of the doteat Germany had sustained in Philadelphia because the exhibit there was inferior in quality. But this time Germany can be proud and call to the nations of the earth, "Come here and see." In conclusion, he paid a hearty tribute to the German Emperor and the representative at the fair. Herr Wermnth. The last speaker was Mayor Harrison. Then a procession was formed and marched through Columbia avenue, in Manufactures Building, to 'Festival Hall. It whs nearlv 0 o'cloek when the marchers reached Festival Hall, uad in consequence of the late boor the exercises were hurried through. Tbe ceremonies were eonoluded by the rendition of Wagner's famous 'Festmache,, by the orchestra. The day ended with a gorgeous display of fireworks. Auditor Ackerman aud r'erd W. Peck, chairman of the finance committee, have united in a statement regarding tbe finances of the fair. Tbe total expense for May, they say, were less thun $000,000. or about $1!.4C0 oer day, and the total receipts were $120,000. tho exposition beiuu open bat twenty-seven days. The expenses are being reduced largely every day, while the average daily revenue from admissions and collections thus far this month exceeds ?-AlOJ per day, and are constantly increasing. The total admissions at the fair to-day numbered 103,575. SUNDAY CLOSING CASE.

Arguments In Uehalf .of the Government Made In th Conrt of Appeals. Chicago. June 15, Long before the hour set for to-day's proceedings in the world's fair Sunday-closing case the United States Court of Appeals was taxed to its full capacity, and many were turned away unable to obtain even standing room. Ladies who arrived early secured the best seats available. Others who were attentive listeners were: Hev. S. H. Wartz. lie v. L. McLean, secretary, and J, I?. Lucas, director of the American Sabbath Union. Promptly on time the three judges filed into the conrt room. Chief Justice Fuller led the way, followed by Jndges Bunn, of Wisconsin, and Allen, of Illinois. Coin-, missioner Sinclair, of Virginia, opened the argument for the world's fair. He was followed by Judge Joseph II. Hand on behalf of the government. In the .afternoon ex-Sollcttor-general Charles Aldnch took up, for the government, the question of jurisdiction, claiming that the matter ehould go to the Supreme Court of the United States, as the company was formed by act of Conerexs in 'lJr'X', at the call ot the Secretary of State, and had its inception as a federal institution. It came into tbe hands of the corporation by a formal dedication as a custodian appointed by tbe government for the purpose. Large expenditures were, of course, turned over at tbe same time, and the world was invited to bo the guest ot the government und not this corporation. It seems absurd that after a property has been dedicated by tbe government to uationai proposes that it has no right or power to speak as to such uses. Ti e government has the right to close the fair, just as It has tho riff lit to close tbe custom-bouse, or other public buildinus or institutions maintained for the public good. Mr. Aidrich declared the opcuing rule was irregular and illegal. James L. High, also for the United States, spoke next, but before be bad concluded his remarks the court, at 5 o'clock, adjourned until to-morrow. TELEGRAPHIC BKLVITIC3.

Loan Certificates to Be Issned by tbe New York Clearing House. Action TaVen to Relieve the Financial Stringency aud Restore Confidsnce Several Bank Failures Reported. Nnw York, Juno 15. The Clearing House Association to-day decided to issue loan certilicates. A mcetiug was held yesterday, at which tho linancial situation was discussed. It adjourned without action. Another meeting was held to-day, at wnich iho following resolution was adopted: Kcaolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the chairman, wltu tho president, to receive from the banks whicii are members ot the association bills receivable and other securities, to be approved by said committee, who shall ho authorized to lssutf therefor, to 6ucii depositing bunks, loau certilicates bearing 0 per cent Interest per annum; and such loau certiacates shall not be in excess of 75 per cent, of the market value of tho securities or bills receivable no deposited, aud such certilicates anall be received and paid in settlement of balances at the clearing boiiKo. and all tbe rules and regulations heretofore adopted in the i.tue of such gold certificates shall he in lorce In the present issue. Ho clearing-house certilicates have yet been applied for. The loan committee of the association, of which President Frederick D. Tappan. of the Gallatin National Bank, is the chairman, will meet to-morrow to receivo applications. The certilicates will bo supplied iu denominations of 3,000. 810,000 and $0,OLU The previous occasions in which certilicates wero issued and the amounts were: 1873, 86,500,100; ltm, $'-0CO.0oa. and lbW. 810.500,000. One of the objects of the association in issuing certilicates is to relieve the stringency in money caused by the large shipmentsof currency to the West. President Williams, of the clearing housecommittee, gives another reason, as follows: 'The actiou of the clearing honse committee has been taken largely with a view to giving tone to the country. It is likely to be followed in other canters. The citadel is all risht. but we want to strengthen the outposts, I am told there is some considerable hardship in mercantile circles hero, but I personally have not seen it." Speaking of the monetary stringency, nnd the shipment of large amounts of currency, particularly to the West and Northwest, the president of one ot the larger national banks taid to a reporter to-day th it theden i'id from country banks for rediscounts wus larger at present than ut auy time in his long experience, and particularly from banks in the West and Northwest. The demand was general, however, and extended from the Pacilio to the Atlantic. Itjsct in, he said, nearly three months ago, and had gradually increased until it had assumed its present large proportions. As, however, tbe banks which were asking for rediscounts this week, were sending their bbortest time paper, paper maturing in a month or six weeks, that was regarded as un indication that the country bankers did not expect the demand to last much longer, and it was, therefore, hoped that it had reached its height. The run on tbe lrvmg Favings Institution stopped at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Seventy-three thousand dollars had been drawn out since the doors wero opened at 9 o'clock. All depositors were paid promptly, and in full. The run eased or! tnis afternoon, and it is believed to be ended. Starch Trust S toe It Dividend Passed. Nkw York, Jane 14. Tho National fttarch Company proposes to bend a notioe to its stockholders to-morrow, which is expected to ohoit a great deal of bitter criticism. The board of directors of the company determined not to pay the semi-an-naai dividend of the issue of second preferred stock, which would otherwise have been paid July 1. The amount of this stotk outstanding is something less tbau 'J2.DC0.-' Ouo. and it is distributed pretty thoroughly' through tbe city, aud in tho hands of small holders. William F. Pie!, jr., the president of the company. Maid that tbe dividond would not be paid because it had not been earned, and it was thought to be wise and conservative at atime like this, wheu money conditions are unusually bad, to husband ttie resources of the company as far aa possible. lletleposltlnir 'Jtieir Money. - Omaha, Neb. June 15. The run on the Omaha banks is practically over, the Omaha Savings, which caught it hardest, haying passed through the two days' siege, apparently without inconvenience, and today there was no indication at any of tho banks of the strain of the past forty-eight hours. The only noticeable feature was tho largo number of depositors who, now that the craze has had its run and quietness and a feeling of security is restored, were seemingly in as much of a hurry to get their money back into the banks as they were on Tuesday to get it out. Ovor 8 18,000 AtfsKln. Uoston, June 15. Keceiver Trask, of the Order of tht Unity, has discovered a deficit in the treasury accounts of tho order amounting to between SlS.OCO and 20,000.

COULDN'T STAND THE STRAIN. Clark County Defaulting Treasurer Jenkins Has Fled From Jeffersonvllle. fpcclal V the Indianapolis Journal. Jkfff.ksonville, Ind.. June 15. -The people of this city were much exercised today by the report that ex-Treasurer Jenkins had lied. At first this was denied by his friends, but at last it was found that it would be nseless to keep np tbe deoeption longor, and the - report that he bad decamped was verified. His predecessor in office, A. W. Smitha. arrived in the city today and denies that he was short when his time expired. He says that he has receipts to show that he turned over the oluce to his successor witn all accounts squareHe has employed an attorney, and states that ho intends staving in the city and fighting the matter to the bitter end. Where Jenkins has gone to is not known. The County Commissioners to-day authorized Prosecuting Attorney E. A. Howard to tile suit against Jenkins and his bondsmen to collect the amount of hisdehcit. The apparently well-authorized statement that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of. Jenkins was undoubtedly the cause of his llight. It is now rumored that Jenkins was given $500 about two weeks ago by parties whose names are unknown, bnt refused to leave until he had received another 8500, which was given him a few days eiuce. ItlOTUKS ON THE RUjJ. Two More Disturbers of a. Meeting at Lafayette Plead Guilty. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, Ind., Jnne 15. It begins to look as if there wonld be no more Jury trials growing out of the riot cases resulting from tbe visit of ex-priest Kudolpu to this city. As noted yesterday, three of tbe defendants eutered picas of guilty, and this morning two others. George Bcnnewitz and Frank Tengen, admitted disturbing the meeting and threw themselves on tho mercy of the court. The verdict in tbe McCanley case, limiting the punishment to a mere tine of 50, has resulted in these pleas of guilty for the minor oilenses. Carter, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of riot, is one of the men who is indicted for assault with intent to murder Kudolph. He is a widower, with a family of seven children, and his attorneys made a strong plea in his behalf to the court. There are number of other riot and meeting-disturbing oases to be heard, but there is an impression that tbe defendants will nearly all. and perhaps all, come in with pleas of guiltv to disturbing the meeting, and thus settle ud tbe cases without any more tedious trials. JIOMD UNDER THE STATE NORMAL. Students Will Stand by One Anotl er tn Case There He Any Attempt at Discipline. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Tf.rhe Hautk, Ind., June 15, Therewas a temporary armistice in the State Normal School war to-day. President Parsons bad given tbe forty members of A3 reading class until this noon to decide whether they would recall their declaration not to proceed under another than Professor Tompkins, the brilliant teacher removed by tbe board of trustees last Thursday. This morning the members of the class held a meetins aud adopted a statement to the effect that they did not mean to defy the authority of tbe school, but were merely expressing their preference for a discontinuance of tbe instruction the remaininjr two weeks of the term rather than to proceed under auotber teacher. They said they had been led to believe this study was optional with them by the President himself. President Parsons was in Indianapolis interviewing tbe board when the time was up. And they reported to Vice President Anderson, wbo said tbe action was satisfactory. It will probably be acceptable to Parsons, as ho appeared very anxious to find an excuse to forgive the students. There is little doubt that the rebellion in tbe school is being temporized with, and that tho true inwardness is not given to the public. It would take little eifort to set oft' a bomb of surcharged discontent with the management. It is unquestionably true that if any radical measure of discipline should be undertaken by President Parsons he would have the entire body of ono thousand students to tight, for they are standing shoulder to shoulder like soldiers, and an injury to ouo will be taken as an injury to all. Affairs at tbe State Normal ure in a delicate condition. INDIANA MUSIC TEA CUE US. Programme of the Sixteenth Annual Meet lag: nt LaPnrte Now Announced. Special to the Indisnapol'.s Journal.

There was a largely-attended meeting of Indiana coal operators here to-day, called on account of the action of miners toward the enforcement of the provisions of the law requiring the payment of wages weekly and the weighing of coal as it comes from themine. In signing tbe scale for the year beginning May 1 tho men waived both thooe requirements, but since then many of them have been insisting that the mine inspector enforce the law. The operators will resist its enforcement by carrying it to tbe Supreme Court, where they believe it will be declared to bo unconstitutional. A committee of live, consisting of Messrs. Talley, Ktnner, Kppert and Ogle, waanppointed in the matter to wait on the block coal operators with tho view of getting them to join intho purpose to resist tho law. A. M. K. Conference Adjourns.
