WEDNESDAY, MAY 16. The Czar of Russia keeps in and about hii winter palace 7,000 servants. Thirty-sis divorces were recently granted in two days at Springfield, Mass. A mas in Ireland was recently confined in Jail ten t eeks for blaspheming the Qaeen. 1h New York Tribune is out in favor of X S. Cox for Speaker. That will kill him. AIYakcxk editor in a financial article says: "Money is close, bat not close enough to reach." Cu:cao must Lave iiad the niOTlng fever on May 1. Seven thoaaand families are said to bare moved on that day. Wbs. Laktr says she thinks American -women are too rluniD. . The American wo men think Mrs. Langtry runs too mach to bone and too litiie to meat to be beautiful It seems impossible to reconstruct Sena lor Harrison's Presidential boom. The thins started by the Chicago crank seems to have been a boomerang. A little black-eyed woman in Chicago as that, if there is anything in the theory of transmigration, she wishes to make her next appearance in the fcrm of a flea, for she knows a fellow that she would like to tor iure the life oat of. Miss Ramxabel, a native of India, is said to be the most learned woman in the world. Twenty years of age, she can read, speak and write in twelve languages, besides being P ip astronomy, mathematics, history, etc Fhe is now studying to become a physician Thk extraordinary fertility of the soil of Southern Louisiana is such that the cultiva tion of corn and cane tor 100 years has had little effect upon its productiveness, and it is said that its possibilities are equal, if not superior, to the most productive soils in the world. TIkdkb the heading, "Something to be Thankful For," a Now York paper remarks that while the inhabitants of New York and adjacent suburbs have been clinging to their Sannels with an affection worthy of the depth of winter, it i3 comforting to knowthai the thermometer in Florida has been toytrg with the nineties and that the mosquitoes are in full bloom. There is no part f the world where there is not something to be thankful for, and here, at all events, we can sleep in peace. INDIANA NO. 1. Uuch has been written about Indiana, but the subject is not ealy exhausted, and in this wonderfuiiy progressive age the frequent reproduction of facts with such additiors as developments warrant, find ready readers and command attention. In writing of Indiana of the present, it is not to ba presumed that within the scope of an ordinary newspaper article facts and figures ein be grouped which will do more than by sum totals outline the viistness of the resources of the Commonwealth and the magnitude of the enterprises which distinguish its people. It may be well to state that until 1301 Indiana was included in Ohio; that it was constituted a Territory in 1809 and admitted into the Union December II, 1816. The State lies between latitude 37 deg. 40 min. and 41 deg. 40 min. north amd longitude 84 deg. 40 min. and 87 dep. 4 min. west, extending 275 miles in length from north to south, having an average breadth of 13T miles. It contains an area of SC 350 square miles, or 23,204,000 acres. It xnsy be interesting to know the growth of Indiana in population from the year 1800 to 1S80. The census returns are as follows: IVO -Territory... 6,641' IS :0 9SS.-P6 1810-Territory... 3-.520 l,3j0,428 120 State H7.17 1570 1.6S-1.637 1H50 . 343.031 1333 1,978,301 1810 6Si,S6j; Assuming the growth in population since 18H0 has bean equal to th9 per cent, of increase from 1S70 to 1S80, the population of Indiana to-day is about 2,100,000. Indiana is pre-eminently an agricultural Eüte. Agriculture is her commanding industry, her great source of wealth. The State lies, for the most part, within the fertile region designated aptly as the "region of cereals," and in 1SS0 there were within the Srate 1M.013 farms, of hich 64,030 were of 50 and under 100 acres, 72, '.03 were of 100 a.nd ander 500 acres, 1,320 were of 500 and under 1 000 acres, and 275 were of 1,090 acres und over. To these farms therfore we owe the ! agricultural wealth of the State, and their .producta in the aggregate at once become a matter of vast importance. Figures showing the steady increa-.e of agricultural products for a number of years would be interesting, but our readers must be content with .acta near the present, showing what the armers of Indiana are doing now to increase -the wealth and prosperity of the State. "Taking the estimates for the years 1S30, '81 and '82, we have the following totals of the cereals named: Estimated Value $124.6 4 992 181,131,131 19 9:51.0-25 87.77i 1 591,342 Bushels. .... 124.6S4.9J2 ... 3tK W1.RH6 49 577 5a 1,009 732 2.416.2 3 Wheat Corn ..- Rye Barley . Totals 4S1.490.376 $329,146 265 Here we have a yearly average of about ti 10.000, 000 of money added to the wealth of the State from ive of the principal crops yrr-duced from an annual average of 7,027,901 acres leas than one-third of the average area of the State. Bat in estimating the agricultural products of the Satte, w are required to include the product of meadow, orchards and the dairy, live stock, to-bac-potatoes, etc The estimate of the number of domestic animals in Indiana for 1332 is as follows: Number. Estimated Value. $21.04.050 o o 9 o ll.10-J.2S0 16.608.2i0 2,135.402 Tl'traes.. Mul 491.SS1 48 515 .....1.110 6-23 3.721 ,f4 1,092,701 Cattle ... Hcs ........ Haeep Head. 6.4&7.3C6 $57,504,812 According to official estimates there were produced in the State of Indiana during the jr 1332, 13,G0G,493 pounds of tobacco, -worth aay five wnts per round or$C80,334 Ta? re was also produced 1,599,949 tons of hsy, worth, say $3 per ton, or $1,799,592. There was also produced during the year W2. 7,2,839. bushels of potatoes, worth, sa7 fifty cent re bushel, or $3,032,415. .Doling the sme year it is safe to estimate

the value of the buckwheat and flaxseed

produced at $500,000, the orchard product at $3,000,000, and the garden prodacts at $500,000. During the year 1830 there were made 22,905,335 pounds of butter, 283,807 pounds of cheese, 1.332,332 pounds of maple sugar, 227,830 gallons of maple molasses, 305,278 pounds ot honey. The wool clipped during thyear was 5.G2V 023 pounds, and assuming the State waa as productive of these articles in 1332 as In 1880, their value may be set down at $4.500, 000, and including poultry and eggs at $5,000,000. As a result we have u the product of the farms of Indiana for the year 1882, the sum total of $123.112,341. If to this we add the value of slaughtered ani mals, say $-10,000.000, we have as the result of one year's farming operations $108,112,341. In the production of wheat, Indiana, considering area, is at the head of the list of wheat producing States, and in all matters pertaining to farming she occupies a position in the front rank ; and that too. at a time when not more than one-half the area available for farming is under cultivation, and when thousands of those who till the soil are oblivious of that knowledge which compels the earth to yield its most bounteous cohtri butions to the wealth of the State. But i new era is dawning in agriculture. Farm ra are berinnice to properly estimate the dignity of their profession. Sei ence offers its aid and ignorance is yieMing to its beneficent proposals. The future promises triumphs in agricultural pursuits in Indiana which in their grandeur will dwarf past and even present achieve ments to insignificant proportions. "We a to have in the near f ature students of soils and seeds and manures. Where one blade of grass is now grown a dozen are to spring forth to tell of the triumphs of the educated farmer. Science and common sense are to go hand in hand. Agricultural Fairs will grow in importance, and the farmer, equipped with such knowledge as nature approves, applauds and rewards, will stand np and stand forth as the representa tive man of the times. The bearded wheat and the tasseled corn will own his sway. Improved herds will herald his triumphs and Indiana will proclaim him her bene , factor. DEMOCRATS AND THE NEXT CON GRESS. The Democratic party stands pledged to ad vocate the lowest taxation piacticable.consiatent with the revenue wants of the Government, In every campaign the shibboleth motto of the Dsmocratic party has been"low taxes." The Republican battle cry has been "high taxes." In the coming campaign of 18 84 there is not the slightest probability that the policy of the Democratic party will be chansred. The crv will be ow taxes economy retrenchment. It will be suprem-s folly for any man, no matter how brilliant or profound he may be, to anticipate the position of leader in the Democratic party if, ia the matter of taxa tion, he does not proclaim himselfunequivo cally hostile to hieh taxation. Upon this one proposition the Democratic party plant; itself, and by an unwavering adherance to t, will win the fight. The people are urea, disgusted and indignant. They have been taxed and swindled to build up olossal fortunes for individual and corporate monopolies, and, while thus outraged and burdened, they have been told it was for the good of the country and for the benefit cf the Government Early in De cember, seven 'months hence, the Fortyeighth Congress will assemble. The House of Representatives will be largely Democratic. The fact is proof that the country is opposed to the Republican policy of high taxation, opposed to profligacy made possible by a system of taxation by which a vast surplus revenue has bsen collected and squandered. Thi3 surplus has been extorted from the people by a policy flagrantly at war with their interests. Is it to be supposed for an instant that, when the Forty-eighth Congress assembels, the Democratic members will commit as their first act, political BUicide, by electing as speaker, a man known to be the champion of high protective taxation? Such a proceeding would be something more than folly; it would be a crime. It would be throwing away the victory achieved in 1332 upon a platform demanding a reduc tion of taxation. It would be the most shameful stultification that ever disgraced any party. It would be the basest treason to every profession of the Democratic party and of every pledge the party made to the tax-burdened and tax-cursed people. To assume that the Democratic majority in the Foity-eighth Congress will be guilty of such treachery is too preposterous to warrant contradiction. The St. Louis Republican, in discoursing upon "the earning trial of Democracy," remarks "that in the action of the next House of Representatives the country will look for the Democratic National platform of 1881. and in the action of the Senate it will look for the opposite platform." With regard to the "practical questions of the day" the Republican thinks they are"few and simple -o few that they may be disposed of in a single biir." "There is,'' says the Republican, "no dispute about the currency; no dispute abmt Indian, pensions or foreign policy; happily, there is not a single Constitutional issue before the country." The question to be settled relates to "the largs excesi of revenue annually pouring into the Treasury. This surplus for the current fiscal year "is estimated at $120,000,000, and for the next fiscal year is $11! ,000,000 and the actual surplus will exceed the estimate in both cases and that, too, after paying out $59,500,000 for interest and $102,000,000 in pensions each year." "This surplus revenue," says the Republican, "must be reduced; and to reduce it taxes must be taken o3 the people." How? Right here is where the two parties differ, and the Republican eays: The Democrats believe in large redactions of the revenue, and insist that these reductions should be made so as to bring the largest measure of relief to the whole people. The Republicans, on the other hand, will not make any reductions they can possibly avoid, and in making them will attempt to give the relief to favored classaa. In the new tariff ana revenus bill passed by the Ute Congress, the Republicans took off about tl3.0d0.0n taxes from whom? Banks, bank depositors, matchmakers, the maaufacturers of patent medicines and cosmetics, and tobacco consumers. They do not think any further reductions ought to be made in the next Congress, and they will oppose them if proposed, but if the reductions must be nude, they will endeavor to

limit them to the consumers ot spirits, beer and

tobacco, leaving the masses of the people still subject to the oppressive taxes of a war tariff on the mate rials of their Industry and the necessa ries of life. The Democrats in the Forty -eighth Congress need not err in their policy. The people by placing them in power have mapped out their line of conduct too vividly to make mistakes scarcely within th range of human fallibility, and as a consequence, if anything less than a policy which demands a reduction of taxation is put forth by the Democrats In Congress, disaster may be expected. "There is no need," remarks the Philadelphia Record, "of any generalities on the tariff in the Democratic platform if the Democrats in the next Congress will courageously do their whole duty. That duty is to make such revision ot the tariff and redaction of its burdens as were refused by the Republicans in the last Congress. That will be the best platform, and will show the country what the Democrats mean better than any gener alities in the resolutions of a National Con vention. If the Senate reject such a bill it will still be the best Democratic platform. since it will clearly define the issues on the tariff between the two parties, and leave no room for the usual misrepresentations and double-dealing on this question in the Presi dential campaign." It is safe to say that the Democrats in the next Congress will so shape affairs ai to place the Republican party unequivocally on record in regard to taxation. This done there need be little apprehension ai to results in 1834. CORKHILL ON INSANITY. Mr. G. B. Corkhill, of Washington City, recently read a paper before the MedicoLegal Society upon the subject of "Insanity as a Defense for Crime." Mr. Corkhill is United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, and is therefore said to be "high authority." Mr. Corkhill is of the opinion that it is a difficult matter "to define with accuracy and precision thetruemeaningof the word insanity," and contends that the "ablest authors who have written upon the subject, as also physicians and scientists, all differ as to the 'terms used to define the word insanity." But whatever may be said upon the subject, Mr. Corkhill is satisfied that what is termed "moral insanity has no scientific recognition and should never be countenanced in a Court of Justice." Nowadays the plea of insanity is set up as defense in almost every case of "atrocious and brutal crime," and it so happens that "there is scarcely a criminal that can not find facta in his own life of physical or mental disturbance, or in some of his blood relations, from which men of eminence or scientific attaiuments readily demonstrate to Juries that these facts, taken in connection with the atrocious and brutal character of the crime, indicate insanity." Mr. Cork hill a 1 vocates the prompt execution of every man found guilty of "a crime which, under the law, merits that punishment," sane or insane. He does not believe that the plea of insanity should be allowed as a defense for crime, and asserts that the laws of man should be administered i i the same spirit as are administered the laws of nature, as for instance, "a shortghted man who has miscalculated his dis tance in attempting to swim a river, drowns, not because his motive is malignant, but because he has violated a law. Insanity, like blindness, or a 'wicked and abandoned heart,' is a defect of organization, and the highest triumph of human tribunals should be to administer to the survival of only the fittest." Mr. Corkhill may hold peculiar views in regard to insimty in criminal trials, but he has very pronounced opinions relating to ''cranks" well calculated to attract attention. He Bays: But there is a class, well known and recognized in every community, who by thtir erratic character, their vanity, tbelr egotistical declarations, crowd themselves into every association, and by their arrogant assumption become prominent; they are not always men who wear long hair, tor women who wear short hair. I know no peculiar trade-mark by. which they can be at once detected. but they are everywhere. Yow. have them in your society unless the press misre ports some of your discussions. They are dec tors without patients. lawyers without clients, and ministers without parishes, without ever having jdoce an 1 unect day's toil ; tbey crowd themselves into labor and trade organizations and assume to ba represent ative men; they ,are the most earnest in temperance and religious organizations; they clamor for position in every enterprise having for its object and public reforms Hon; they denounce viee on every ; public occasion: theys ay long prayers aud s fleet great piety and virtue; and yet they are the true represcntentative traitors, murderers, thieves, ravishers aud coundrels of commu nities, and when one cf them commits a crime the entire, race of vagabonds join in the cltmor for the exemption from punishment on the ground of insanity. There has been a word coined of late years to designate these people, and they are called "cranks." They figure largely in the list cf criminals accused cf all grades of crime, aad it is to them belongs the disgrace brought upon the plea of insanity as a defense for crime; with them judgment and execution should be swift, sure aud certain, for the escape of one of these men encourages the entire class to go on committing crimes for like notoriety and like exemption. They well know tbey commit crime and deserve punishment, and when the knife of justice falls upon one of their number it strikes them with horror, but to eery honett citizen it is a glad announcement that the law Is supreme and that its execution can not be avoided by a miserable scoundrel claiming he was a crank. Notwithstanding all this there are insane people in the world men and women whose minds have been dethroned and who are not, therefore, responsible for their acts. To ascertain to what extent they- are responsi ble, that the authorities may know as nearly as human judgment can determine, the measure of guilt and the punishment deServed is demanded by every consideration of justice. Anything less than that is to return to eavagery. To establish criminal proceedings when no word of testimony relating to mind conditions can be heard, in mitigation of the crime and therefore of the penalty as well, is to erect Courts where the footprints of the accused, on the highways leading to them, like foot prints of cattle driven to slaughter houses all point inward. . It is supreme injustice to assume that insanity is sm'i fortune for which the victim is alone responsible, or to treat it as a crime is simply devilishness, and Mr. Delano Calvin, in commenting on Mr. Cor khill's position, said that "no man of a plastic nature could hold the office of Public Prosecutor many years without becoming entirely hardened and lost to all sympathy for the innocent" That Mr. Corkhill is well advanced in the process ot

hardening is demonstrated by the heartlessness of some of his positions and propositions.

The condition of the working classes of France, particularly of Paris, is such as to create uneasiness. The Government is now engaged in devising means whereby work and wages may be provided for the laboring classes. This is called succumbing to com munism, "or at least to that phase of it which seeks to put the whole machinery ot business into the hands of the State for the benefit of the people at large." The indications are that France anticipates trouble from her laboring population in the large cities, and hence the necessity for action. It is stated that "A draft Convention has been drawn up be tween the Bute and the Credit Foncier for the loans necessary to the execution of these enterprises. The Credit Foncier agrees to lend 20,000,000 of francs to those who wish to build for themselves houses, worth say from 3,000 .to 9.000 francs. The loan is to extend to three-fourths of the value of the property, to be guaran teed by the State and redeemed by th bor rower at the expiration of twenty years. The Credit Foncier also agrees to lend any amount for seventy-five years to the extent of 65 per cent, for the building of houses, onehalf of the habitable suface of which must be constructed for lodgings to rent for 150 to 300 francs year, which houses are to be free from all taxes for twenty years. A Committee of the Paris Municipal Council has also reported in favor of guaranteeing 50.000,000 for a like purpose." France has vast wealth, and the French people are among the most frugal in the world. Hence, it may be assumed that when French laborers are restless the means of living have been reduced to an extent that borders upon starvation. France has learned to her cost that her laboring people will not starve in sight of boandless luxury. When the policy of a Govern ment is to legislate for the rich and in opposition to the laboring masses trouble will come eventually, and as inev itably as that tlint and steel when brought in violent contact will produce fire. Stand inj armies, which eat np the substance of the people, may postpone the shock for a while only to make the disaster more ter rific when it does come. It will not do for Government to create monopolies and tax the people to support them, and a Government which puts in operation such a cursed policy will be compelled sooner or later to succumb. Ma. Howuatk was at one time a distin guished Republican boss; in fact, as Mr. Y. P. Fishback would put it, a "high official." Howgate was a jolly good fellow, stole money constantly, expended it lavishly, and invested some of it in real estate in Washington City. Howgate was, all thiDgs considered, a meaner thief than Djrsey cr any other Star Route thief. He had little, i any, circumlocution in his methods. Red tape was discarded. He just took the money as he needed it, and went about his busi ness. But the Department of Justice can't reach Howgate. Tne New York Times ears: The Government continues to be unfortunate in its proceedings asainst the f ugt.lve Howcte. Although he spent freely among his associates the money which he stole, ho was able to invest large sums in real estate. About the time of his arrest he transferred some of this property to the men who gave bail for him and attempted to sell the remainder of it. Tho Government undertook to recover part of the money which he had stolen by attaching the real estate which he had bought with his stealings, and which, as the persons in terested declared, he had sold. The case went up to the full bench ot District Judges, and although no deed exhibiting the sale had been placed on record tho Judge? hsvo dismissed the attachment It is possible, therefore, that Howrato's resources white in exile have been enlarged. Mystery has surrounded Howgate's case from the first. Ho was treated in an extraordi nary manner white In Jail, and although he stole at least 200 003 aad was held to ball In the sum of 140.000. the Government has offered a reward of only "00 for bis capture. The foregoing tells the story with felicitous terseness, and exhibits the Department ot Justice in its true light It is well understood in Washington that it will not do tO' disturb nowgate. 7o catch Howgate is to catch a dczan or sj ot ether men as guilty as the fugitive, and of vastly more importance to the Republican party. To save the Re publican party Howgate, the thief, is per mitted to escape punishment, and now a full bench of Republican Judges refuse to interfere for the purpose of reclaiming any portion of the property etolen from the Government. Such is Republicanism every time. Wk notice that a Convention of cofönmanufacturers called the "Burial Case As sociation," has recently been held in St Louis. Thirty seven manufacturing estab lishments in. the West were represented. The business of the Convention was to establish aniform prices throughout the West for coffins. No one will deny that coffins can be made ia some localities much cheaper than in others, but by agreement of the manufacturers, the consumers of coffins have to pay the same prices throughout the entire West Undertakers, now called "Funeral Directors," also hald Conventions, and it is quite possible that the grave diggers will find it necessary to combine to regulate prices, lnecomn manufacturers were in dead earnest and bestowed on such, subjects as came np for discussion grave consideration. ir IS WHISPERED.

" Saturday Might Some one has said that "nothlcg more detestable does this earth produce than an ungrateful man." Poesibly. but we doubt the truth of the declaration ; indeel, we do not believe it at all. Ingratitude is a vice which distlcguishcs small souls, warped and distorted natures. It Is a hu man frailty which admits of little extenuation. except a its unfortunate victim may plead herllIty. But it is a more p!ea&icg task to speak of the felicities which are the rewards of gratitude than of the penalties which thankleesuess is certain to iDfllct. It will occur to our readers in coun try, village and city that the season now upon us is fruitful of reflections in consonance with emotions of gratitude. The earth has renewed its youth aDd robed itself in beauty. The trees have decked themselves In holiday attire . The fiel da are carpeted in emerald bcautT. The wild flowers adorn all the pathways of forest, field and glen; the brooks are leaping and dancing and singing their way to the sea: feathered songsters are making: raerry music in their woodland nomes, ana "Tne spirit of the gentle south wind calls From his blue throne of air. And where his whlsperiDg voice in xnusie fall?, Beautv is budding there."

Is it not worth while for society to consider with some decree of earnestness, if the number of young men who go forth to make money, honestly if they can, but at allh'zirds to make money, is not alarmingly large? The aail crime record will answer ihe question. But there is still another inquiry: Who is playing the part ot Paterfamüiatl Who is it that is forever having to young men: "Make mouey honestly if yon can, bnt mske money?"

To such queries let tb bricks remaio dumb. May weexptct Boards of Trade, Stock and Gold Exchanges to tell who it Is that says to young men: "Make money honestly if you can, but make money?"

To reflecting minds it is only requirsd to suggest the line of thought facts and consequences are at hand: results are known.

A few more days of wsitlng and the summer 5me will arrive. The fervid rays o? the sun will intensify the decire to baway to aool retreats in the nortniaad by river or isze or sea away to forest shades .and flowering woods to flub, to sail, to ride, to sing and dance.
