Cass Cocsty proposes to have a new court-house. The specifications and plans adopted by the County Commissioners indicate sn exrriditure of nearly $00,000. Our State exchanges seen to have bat cne opinion ot the .Republican Secretary of Eiste, wh''ch is that be is the most incjmVttentcfiicfr that ever held the position. Akothek new gas company has been formed at Mucoid which will put down time new wells immediately. These will make ten wells in atd around the city of iluLcie. TnE dead body of an unknown man has been found in Blue River, Washington County. ?otes and papers in which the name of iDgram, of Centralia, I1L, were found on his person. The Broad Kipple gas well continues to produce a stroDg current. The good citi zens of that precinct are disposed to believe that it will speedily become the center of Indianapolis. Eecritap.y or State Griffis has said, in effect, that so far as his publication of the acts of 13S7 is concerned everything goes. This includes his "note" to the voluntary asEociatlon law, by virtue of which he ex pecta to increase his fees. A Mas. Oeviw, of Cass County, as related by our Logansport correspondent, narrowly escaped being torn to pieces by an enraged hog Wednesday evening. It is difficult to realize the possibilities of such an encounter with the ide is usually entertained of the general harmless character of the aiimal. Our Koblesville correspondent crushes this morning with all the freedom of one of his native wells. He announces the fact that another gas reservoir has been tapped, and now there is gas for the million. The name of the new find Is The Banner," and the indications are that It is a greater wonder than the wellknown WainrighL" Bostoi speculators are about to bore for natural gas in the vicinity of that city. A few years ago, it is reported, the owner of property at "Winthrop, in boring an artesian well, struck a vein of inflammable fas, and piped his house in order to use it. ."Within a few days of so doing, however, the flow diminished, and he abandoned the well. It is on this property that a well In now to be sunk. A Jonrr, 111., special says that Colonel Bolton, the Chicago postofilce embezzler, who is incarcerated in the Illinois State penitentiary, is going insane. "Wedneslay

night about an hour after bed-time at the prison the convicts were startled from their sleep by loud yelling. They supposed that another Moocey tragedy was being enacted, but it proved to be Colonel Bolton, who had been assigned to the call house as a clerk. Bolton suppose! taat some one was killing him and would not cease yelling. Later he prayed In a '.loud voice. His keeper could not quiet him and he was put in the hospital crank cell. The case is exciting much sympathy at the prison.

SOME OLD TIME BOOMS. No speculative insanity in this counlry, and none in this age, has approached the wild conditions and monstrous results of the "South Sea bubble," recently described in the Sunday Sentinel, or the contemporaneous "Mississippi scheme" ot John Law, though the railway mania, starting in the rascally but shrewd operations of Hudson, the "Railway King," in England in the last generation, bore the features of its family. No real estate "boom," no mining fever, no oil speculation, no stock or grain "corner" has ever developed here anything more than a remote resemblance to either of these two great historical frauds. No other characterization fits them so well, and yet neither was conceived or put in operation with any dishonest intent. The ''South Sea scheme" ran quite a career of honest and profitable business before it was pros tituted to rascally uses, and Law's legiti mate operations did well. He intended in the outset to do only a fair and legal bankng and trading business, and so far as he changed he was forced to do It by the pres sure of popular greed. John Law was a Scotchman, born near Edinburgh in 1G71 of a family in high position, and was given a thorough educa tion, but proved a better gambler than Bcholar. Having killed an antagonist in a dnel he went to Holland and studied finance in the great Amsterdam Bank, at that time the richest and most extensive in its operations in Europe. He returned to Scotland and pu blished a book on banking and the issue of bills based on prospective State revenues, but it met with no favor. A renewal of the project in several cities of the Continent had no better lack, and he applied himself to gambling with sach saccess that on the death ot Louis XIV., In 1715, he went to Faris with SIKKKOOO 2,500,000 francs.) Here he found his first opportunity to introduce his banking project The wars and the extravagant building expenses of the "Grande Monarque" had4lef t the kingdom seriously embarrassed, when the Begent during the minority of Louis XV. the Duke of Or leans, took c.iarge of it. He was a gambler and a roue, gay, gallant and unscrupulous very much the Bame style of man as Law and readily approved the establisnment ot a bank by the latter on his theory of business. It was a bank of issue as well as discount, and its bills were redeemable in spe cie equal in value to the current coin of the realm. It accepted Government bills at par when they were worth but 80 per cent, but Government patronage enabled it to cover the difference and make money. Its stock was readily taken, and its business flourished honestly and legitimately till Law opened out his scheme for improving the French territory on the Mississippi, colonizing it and monopolizing the trade with it and the French West Indies. The Mississippi Valley wasbelieved'to be inexhaustibly rich in all sorts of valuable products of the soil and in deposits of the precious metals, and when Law obtained the grant of exclusive trade with it, in 1717, his 200,000 shares of stock at f 100 each were taken up promptly. In 1719 this "Company of the "West" got the grant of the French East India Company to the exclusive trading of tbe East Indies, China and the South Seas, and became the "Company of the Indies " Tbe stock was increased to 624,000 shares at $110, and an engagement made te lend the Government $300,000,000 at 3 per cent. The stock rapidly ran up to thirty-five and forty times Its par value. A real estate "boom" started in Paris, and land rose to the enormous figure of "100 years' purchase," "manufactures increased four-fold," the population of Paris was enlarged by tens of thousands of visitors and temporary residents drawn thither by the chances of speculation. Says one author: "When Law, as Director-General, promised an annual return of 200 livres on each share of 530 livres, which paid in depreciated Government paper was worth 120 livres, the public enthusiasm rose to absolute frenzy. Law's house and the street in front of it were crowded with applicants of both sexes and all ranks, who were content to wait for hours, nay, days together, in order to obtain an interview with the modern Fla tus." The outside population attracted by the speculation had to live in garrets, kitchens and stables. This was the culmi nation of the mania. A good many shrewd stockholders thought it wise to take the tide at the flood and sold out, Investing their money in England or Belgium. This depleted the stock of specie in the country and tbe Government's issue notes had reached the enormous amount of 1,925,000,000 livres. A smash came, of course. In July, 1720, almost simultaneous with the burst Ing of the "South Sea bubble" In England, the great "Mississippi scheme" broke down in France. Law escaped the vengeance of his victims by flight, but seems to have really had such faith in his own financial fantasies that he saved very little, and left Faris with only $4,000. While the Itegent lived till 1723 he was paid a psnsion of $4,0C0 a year. After that he sank oat of sight, became a petty gambler and died in Venice In 1720, nine years after his great crash. In a few davs after the crash of July the shares of the company that had advanced from their face of 550 livres to 22.000 livres. were held at 2 and "no takers." Thus ended the greatest specu lative folly in French history, at the fame time, following much the same course. with the same disastrous effect, as the gTeat folly of the same quality in England. Death seems to have been unusually busy among the old people of the State re cently. Sentinel correspondents from various counties have recorded many In stances within tbe past few months. The last one comes from our correspondent at

Cambridge City, who sends this morning information of the recent death of Mr.

James Latsham at the ripe old ninety-six years. asp of OUTDOOR SPORTS. Daring the past few yean there has been a marked revival of interest in outdoor sports. The American can no logger be twitted for his indoor inclinations, but is to be congratulated npon the fondness he evinces for those amusements and diversions to which clear air and blue sky are necessities. A character in one of Crawford's novels, representing the thrifty young American, astonishes Dr. Claudius by calling for a carriage whenever he had even the shortest distances to travel. "Do you never walk?' asks the doctor. But this aversion to pedestrianism is not so strong as it was. Thoreau and Burroughs, tramping their favorite fields, have helped destroy it, and physicians have aidtd by recommending the matutinal "constitutional." By the grace of a broad license, walking may now be styled an outdoor amusement; books on herbs a?d trees are selling, and there is quite an army of cannterers within the borders of Indiana. Following the thought of the Persian poet Haz they would "break up the tiresome old roof of heaven into new farms," and find each delightful. It is a truth that the American is governed large ly by prevailing fashion In the matter of his amusements and sports. A few years ago, it will be recalled, Mr. Maurice Thompson printed a few sketches on arch ery in the magazines, and followed their general acceptance by the publication of a volume on tbe witchery of bow and arrow Almost immediately archery clubs sprang into existence all over the country, and the manufacture of outfits for the toxophilite became a paying'industry. Bobin Hood stepped forth into popularity, and the twang of the bow-string was every where heard in the land. Although it did not last long the craze was gcod while it lasted, as was also croquet. This game of lawn billiards held its own against all rivals for a period, but now the mallet and ball pass away and the tennis court makes its appearance. Tennis is certainly not so tedious as its predecessor on the lawn, and the racket seems to be adapting itself readily to the hand of the "Westerner. The advent of the fly-rod has been slow, because of a deep-rooted idea In many minds that nothing equals a bean pole, with hook and worm connection, when th e wily bass Is to be lured. "With the recognition of fishing as a fashionable pleasure comes the camper-out, and it is no un common thing to nnd families con templating with pleasure the return of summer in view of prospective days of freedom. Whether at all times fashionable or not, it is certainly delightful to turn to fresh fields and forest wilds from the heat, dust and noise of the city. Nature did not bdIU enough water in Indiana to make yachting feasible to any considerable extent, but the yacht's graceful sister, the canoe, may be paddled or sailed in the most insignificant mill-pond. Canoeing Is a healthful f port, in which ladies and gentle men may freely indulge, and unfolds to the weilderof the paddle the manifold beauties of the outer world. There are canoe clubs both East and West, and the number is increasing. The bicycle and tri cycle, so recently rolled into flight on their rubber tires, are still curiosities in many parts of the country. They are vehicles that serve for business or pleasure without change. The rider is able to carry with him all the luggage necessary lor a spin through the country, and when he straps an amateur photographer's out fit to hia saddle ia prepared to enjoy life to the full. And afterward, by developing his negatives, he may review his journey while the snow is on the ground. Except the small boy who en j cys the national game on the common, with his barefooted com panions, nobody must play base-ball in this generation. It is the proper thing to view the game from a shady grand stand and let others perform the labor for a specified remuneration. Now and then there is an outburst of cricket, inspired ty Tom Browne's school days, or a slight at tack of foot ball, ' but principally in the shadow of the university. The outlook for outdoor sports in this country i3 more encouraging that ever before. This Is evidenced by the number ot publications devoted to sports and the literature to which it gives rise. The American ia gradually realizing the harms and dangers attending too close application to work or study. He diecovers that it pays to make haste slowly and enjoy himself as he passes along. A WOMAN AND A WILL. A rich man died in New York the other day and left all his property to an adopted daughter. He was twice a millionaire. He had no children, but he had nephews and nelces, against whom he had a griev ance, in consideration of which he refused to beoueath them a penny. It was not lone after he had been laid to rest before the nephews and neices sought their law yen for the purpose of contesting the will, But the daughter checked the rising scan dal by an exhibition of good sense and generosity very rare in complications of this kind. She realized that her adopted father's ill-humor with his kin was due to no serious offense, that it was cne purely to a whim, that his nephews and nieces were of his blood, while she was his child by the law's decree alone. Therefore, she called them together and divided between herself and them the old gentleman's millions and bade them go in peace. This they did, and as one may well imagine, the most cordial relations have been established among the members of the family. The lawyers suffer, of course, but as their failure to ob tain fees out of difficulties of this charac ter is so rare a matter, they are doubtless philosophic enough to content themselves with the reflection that such an event will never again occur in their practice. The voune woman who has thus set at naught the Intricate processes of the courts, con trived for keeping attorneys employed in the adjustment of probate complications, has tet a fine example, though we do no believe that she will find many to honor htr by doing ai she has done. Tbe disposition of the average Indiiidua' on coming into accidental possession of great fortune la to hold it all. without

much consideration of the equities in it that others may have. It is this disposition that has resulted In so many estates being swallowed up in court costs and attorney's fees. The policy of the New York young woman is by all odds the wiser. She saw that her right did not extinguish the equity of others, and she took the shortest and best way to a fair solution. She Is evidently a woman of judgment, as well as of generosity.

MR. GRIFFIN'S GREED FOR FEES. In further examining the copy purporting to be the "Acts of 18S7," we find on page forty-three a note to sections two and three of "an act concerning the organization and perpetuity of voluntary associations," approved March 7, 1837, which note reads as follows: "Note Attorney-General Michener, in an opinion April 14, 1S37, decides that the organization of associations for sinking oil and gas wells is covered by section 3,851, K S. 1881; that section 3 of the foregoing act (approved March 7, 1887) must be construed with the statutes heretofore enacted regulating corporations named in this act, and that duplicates ot their articles of association must be filed with the Secretary of State." We are loath to believe that AttorneyGeneral Michener ' ever delivered any such an opinion. It may possibly be that Mr. Griffin in his greed for fees has garbled the opinion, as well as mutilated a public record, to advertise his insatiate desire to secure a few fees for filing articles of association which do not properly belong in his office. It takes no lawyer to know that the act of 1S37 was intended to supersede sections 3,502, 3,504 and 3,507 of the Revised Statutes of 1831, and was in no wise supplemental to or amendatory of section 3 851, R. S., 1881. The laws concerning voluntary associations never have been understood or construed to have any reference to the mining and manufacturing act. In the former case the amount of capital stock is limited; in the latter case it is unlimited. Mr. Griffin's note may possibly mislead some cne, and, in fact, places an erroneoas construction upon the law. Instead of discharging the plain daty in having the acts published, he undertakes to Interpolate a matter entirely foreign to the act, in fact a mutilation of it, to sabrve a personal end. In view of the law allowing the Secretary of State a fee of not ess than $1 for filing each article ot incor poration, Mr. Griffin seeks to delude every body, who may organize under the volun tary association law and are only required to file their articles of association In the proper County Recorder's office, to file a duplicate of such article in his office. Mr. Griffin's gratuitous advertisement for fees in the public acts is not desired, nor is it either decent, dignified or honorable. We will await an explanation of this new method of a Secretary of State advising the public that he must be paid a fee by those who are enterprising in developing Indiana's material resources, and a fee to which he is not by law entitled. . But, waiving the question of Mr. Grif fin's right to ths fees, we can not find words sufficiently forcible to express our amazement at the impudence of this officer in deliberately putting into what purports to be an authoritative compilation of the acts of IS87 a note giving hi3 own abstract and constrnction of the Attorney-General's opinion. "What right, pray tell us, has a Secretary of State thus to tamper with the laws? Who gave him power to put construction upon them? Who bestowed upon him the privilege of putting "notes" upon these pages? The man arrogates to himself the function of the Supreme Court. This publication of tbe laws is a sacred thing, and it is not for a Secretary of State, picked out of a Re publican kindergarten, to make interpola tions. If ever a public officer deserved In stant impeachment, the present Secretary of State does. Wk desire to call the attention of the present Secretary of State to somethings: State Auditor Carr went into the office January 2G, and he had the right, as it was bis duty, to compare and verify the State Treasurer's report, if it had not been done by his predecessor. All official work left undone by an official must be completed by his successor. State Treasurer Lemcke went into office February 10, and accepted his office on the statement of pub lie accounts made by State Auditor Carr. If Mr. Carr did not verify the accounts of Mr. Cooper, how did he make a statement of settlement for Mr. Cooper? Why did not the Secretary of State pub lish the Auditor of State's report for the year ending October 31, 1SS5, and then add: "Ihe Auditor of State has no report for 1SSG," If he could do so without lying? Why has State Auditor Carr retained the State Treasurer's report in his office since January 20, 1887, without either verifying it or acting on it? There were doubtless several reports for the year ending October 31, 188G, that came into the Auditor's office after the ex piration of Mr. Rice'a term ; all of which had to be verified by Mr. Carr. All reports eo first to the Governor, and by him are referred to the State Auditor, that the account of any expenditure therein con tained may be verified. The Auditor com pares them with the books in his office and ratifies the statements if correct There was so much talk during the campaign about Mr. Cooper's books that it now strikes the average citizen as strange that this report, which had been referred to the. State Auditor by Governor Gray, was not taken np and verified, especially as the January statement had to be signed by Mr. Carr and Mr. Lemcke had to settle with Mr. Cooper by it. The Legislature continued in session until March, 1837. Mr. Carr went Into office January 2G, 1887. The report of Mr. Cooper, therefore, could have been verified by Mr. Carr and sent to the printer in time to have It printed and sent to the General Assembly. These queries and facta are tendered Secretary of 8tate Griffin for answer and for his own enlightenment We have about come to the conclusion, however, that the omission of the financial statement from the acts, In direct violation of the p ain. provision of ihe Constitution was, in the language of Shakspeare, "a knavish piece of work," of which it does not require much philosophy to find out the motive. Mr. Cooper settled in full and on

time, thus giving the lie to the Republican campaign charge, so often made by the Journal, that Mr. Cooper would not settle. And it appears that the Secretary of State's office which Is a hatchery of Republican conspiracy has been used to prevent the public from officially learning that the financial books of the State showed the Republican campaign charge to have been utterly false. We again repeat that the Secretary of State deserves impeachment for misdemeanor in the discharge of public trnsv.

Secretary op State Griffix may pettifog to his heart's content, bat he can not obscure the fact that he has been guilty of the grossest incompetence. His omission of the financial statement was an Infraction of the Constitution, and his admission of a note construing a law to his own liking and for his own pecuniary benefit was a misdemeanor for which he should be punished. Yesterday he had printed in the Re publican organ a statement of his side of the case, which convicts him not only of incompetency but of deliberate abuse of hia position. He endeavors to excuse the omission of the financial statement by going out of his way to cast utterly unwar ranted discredit upon the State Treasurer. This is rank nonsense. Under the laws of this State the Auditor of State Is the auditor of public accounts, and his report is printed to show the condition of the State Treasury and what should be on hand as Is the proper theory. The Secretary of State will find by turning to the acts hitherto printed according to the constitutional require ment that the financial statement, as shown by the Auditor, is printed with the acts. The Auditor's reports for the two years of 18S5 and 1SSG were in the hands of the Secretary of State and the General Assembly the first week of the last session. The Secretary of State is an arrant ass. At the conclusion of his screed he nas the monumental inpudence to say: "The acts are printed, bound and published just as I intended they should be, and not a letter or syllable will be changed by my authority." He should be ejected from bis office instanter. In these acts the man has had the brazen assurance to insert a note putting his own construction upon the voluntary association law the purpose being to obtain fees. No Secretary of State ever before dared to exhibit such appalling impertinence. He says not a syllable will be changed, yet the fly-leaf of the acts announces that the General Assembly was opened on January 10, whereas January C was the proper date. How about that? The Journal, as in duty bound by its party relations, attempts a nefense of the Secretary, but does it with evident reluctance and goes very lame. Fosssibly some friend of the Secretary may yet succeed in driving the Idea into his head that the Auditor and not tbe Treasurer is the State's bookkeeper, and that a mandate of the Constitution is not to be trifled with. The Republican State Convention which was held last week in Kentucky refused to give the colored men of the State a representative on the ticket although they cast 54,000 votes. They have always been Ignored by the Republican conventions in that State, bat this year their patience has been exhausted, and a great revolt has oc curred. The colored men wanted to name a man for Register of the Land Office in the last convention, but their request was declined summarily. As there are as many colored as white men in the Repub lican party of that State, it is not surpris ing that they protest Already many o the most prominent colored men have de clared it about time to quit the Re pub lican ranks, one of them, Rev. W. H. Ven able, State Missionary for Kentucky, stat ing: "It ia high time that the colored peo ple in Keniucky get out of the Republican party." This gentleman, who has traveled extensively over the State, Bays his people begin to feel that they have only been used as a convenience by the Republican party, and that they realize the Democrats are just as sic cere friends, though they are not so loud in their professions. Another said: "I have talked with a great many colored men, and they all agree with me that II the Republican party can get along without the colored man, the colored man can get along without the Republican party." The same complaint which the colored men of Kentucky make against the Republican leaders of the State could be be made by the colored men of Indiana against the Republican leaders. They have never been given any worthy recognition when it has come to the distribution of offices, and they never will be. CMayob Hewitt, of New York, is a Demo erat who is not afraid to recognize in his appointments the men who elected him to office. In his announcement of his first important appointments he said: l ln m.Vtns 4 Via artrWA anrtnlnt rwpnfo. thA Mayor has endeavored to look solely at thA intprofttjinf thn citv. without reference to political divisions; bnt he has not considered it to be to the disadvantage of a candidate that he has been recommended by the organizations whose nominee the Mayor was in the late election." This is a most refreshing manifestation of sound political sense. Here is a man who is doing more for the cause of reform than any Mayor New York ever had. Yet he finds he can do It by employing persons "recommended by the organizations whose nominee the Mayor was In the late elections." This is the true doctrine, and to hear it boldly stated falls upon the ear like a note of the great bell at Moscow above the cackling of a poultry yard. In these days, when the trail of mugwumpery Is over the Presidential administration, Mayor Hewitt's declaration stands out with the effulgence of a good deed in a naughty world. Ikdiaha is not only in the gas belt but she is also in the corn belt As a producer of corn she is the first State in the union. It is also a fact that the corn-milling industry, as compared with wheat-milling, is in its infancy, Latttrly, howsver, there have been indications that corn is becoming more generally used as an article of f ?od. In the South it has always been a staple article for the table, but north of the Ohio River It has not been so generally employed, and as a consequence there are very few corn mills as compared with the number of wheat mills. If the con sumption of corn as .a table

food shall continue to increase, it will not

be long before vre shall observe that a great deal less of it is being devoted to the fattening of hogs and to the manufacture of whisky. Then will we see the corn mills growing In number. It requires, therefore, no stretch of the imagination to foresee a time when Indianapolis and the other cities of the gaa belt will be centers for corn milling, now that natural gas affords a cheap fuel. As the corn will be raised in the State where natural gas and corn are both most abundant, it is evident that the milling ot the cereal will cer tainly be done on the spot where it is raised. This lucky correlation is sure to be of the greatest benefit to the people of the State by developing an enor mous industry, which is now In tbe infan tile stage. What St Anthony's Falls have done for Minneapolis, by promoting the growth of the wheat-milling industry, nat ural gas should do for Indianapolis, by developing great corn-milling enterprises here. The folly of advertising for wives and husbands in newspapers has been disas trously illustrated by a recent event at Richmond, Ind. A widow advertised herself through a Cincinnati matrimonial bureau as ha vug some means and desirous of a companion. She soon received an answer, and the final upshot of the matter was that the chap, after getting some of her money and being exposed, skipped off for new fields of adventure. The Secretary of Slate appears to have concluded that the less he has to say about his violation of the plain provisions of the Constitution the better. We are inclined to think that the Broai Ripple people are entitled to the lion's share of the honor involved in the discovery of gas there. Secretary of State Griffix has not yet announced that he Intends correcting the error on the title page of the "Acts of 1887." Tue Secretary cf State has not attempted to explain why he left ont of the acta the Auditor's statement for 1885. Griffin's blundering methods continue to arouse the derision and denunciation of the State press. A Slight Coufastou. Detroit Free Press.
