Some days ago Senator Stewart made a report showing that the cost of producing 25.S grains of gold ia about equal to that f producing crams of eilver, taking ell expense into consideration. The Chiago Tribun' disputes this because eilver can be profitably mined at certain places and Bold at the rate of Gö cnts for 412 grain. What has that to do with it?

A member odered a motion obnoxious to the speaker and the oiheial at once declared that Another member moved to table.

This practice doea away with the absurd formality of making motions and will be welcomed by ail who believe In expediting business. A Maryland canning factory pot np 4,000,000 cans of corn last season. Indiana cancers should allow no state to thus eclipse them. If there is anvwhere on Gora preen earth where corn (trows so plentifully as in this grand state of ours we do not know whr it is. What say too farmers and canners of vegetables? JJo you propose to a low the small state of Maryland to thus eclipae you? Ia regard to this canning industry much valuable information was furnished at the large convention held in St, louia last week. Tha president, in Lis address, said that daring the past year there had beoa an increase in the packing of corn in the North and a de crease in the packing of to n a toes, while Jo the South this conditio was txaetly re reread. There was a 3 pr cent, decrease in the pack of last year over that of tae year before, bat there was a stsady in crease in the paekiag of peas and also ia their coaeu-aptioa. The paek of 1631 exceeded that of 1837 hy 500,000 cases. The pack of was still larger, and the spring demand had not set in. Potatoes, e?K and meats had reached a prist where canned goods wore decidedly cbtap in comparison. Canned goods, he said, could not be coasidered strict necessities, and yet the increase in the pack of 1S01 over 1837, and again that of 1832 over 1891, proved conclusively that canned goods are grow In 2 in favor. He discoursed on the future of 1L canning industry, and urged that the quality of the goods put on the market be improved as much as possible. The national association of the East, he aid, was not a marked success, owing to the jealousy it bore its western competitors, TLi he deprecated, and hoped lor

better results in the future. lie alluded to the duty of 4 per cent, per pound on pig tin, and recounted the fact that it would become a law ly Jane 1 if not repealed. Tin, of course, enters largely into the expense account of the canning industry. AnMor of Chicago said the McKinley tin item coats him $150,000 every year. Indiana Industries. The fourth report of the department of statistics has been awaited with considerable interest, because it is the first one in which a presentation of industrial statistics was attempted. Mr. Peei.le has now issued it, and of the 649 pages it contains 342 are devoted to the condition of labor in Indiana. The va ne of the information furnished can best be judged by examining th various classes of industries separately. It is shown that in the iron and steel industries of Indiana data werft obtained from te-venteen of the principal cities in the state and from ninety-three establishments employing 12,340 persons. It is shown that these ninety-three establishments, in buildings, grounds and machinery, have invested $0,543.573; that the annual cost of materials used amounts to $9,5(38,211, and that the annual value of manufactured products aggregates 19.265,9'.)7. In the matter of wages it is shown that according to the statements of employers the wages for skilled workmen range from ?3 9'Jto $2.04, or a general average of $3.01 per day.andfor unskilled labor the wahres range from $1.59 to $1.18, or $1.38, per aay.makiug the general average for skilled and unskilled labor $2.20 per day; but it will be seen, according to the statements of employes, the average ddly wages in the iron industries of the state for skilled and unskilled labor is $2.11 per day. In the wood industries of the state the report ehowa that statistics include twenty-two cities, having 119 establishments and having an investment in buildings, grounds and machinery of $2,3.'0.245; that the total annual cost of material u-ed amounts to $4.824,01 Hi and that the annual product abrogates $3,531, 143, giving employment to G.'-'S'J persons. The daily wages paid in the wood industries of the state, as per statement!) of emp oyers, average for skilled labor $2 19 per day and for unskilled labe Sl.L'0, giving an average for ekided and untkdlud labor of $1.72 per dav, and as shown by employes' statement the average daily wagea for skilled and unskilled labor is $171 per day. In the carriage and wagon industry statistics include ten cities. The investments in buildings, gr.undd and in a chinery amount to 31,414,1 cj'i ; the annual amount of material used is given at $2,-f'64.850. and the valoe of the ennuai manufactured product, as reported, ia $4.174. 'Jti3. The avercpe waje- for skilled labor ran pes from 2. to $1.51. or $2.19 per day, end for nnski led labor the general average is $1.21, giving a general average, according to employers' statements, of $1.70 per day, while the employe?' statement makes the-general average fur skilled and nnckil'ed labor $1.75 per dsy. In woolen manufactures the report supplies pi.ti-tics from ten cities and thirteen cstablif hments, showing an investment in grounds, buildings and machinery of $814.511. giving- $1,115,009 as the annual cost of material u-ed and $1.S23,V)9 as the total annual product. These ea:ablishments employ l.J'02 persons, of whom l,2t5o are women and g rii, 19" boys and 502 men. Wages for skilled labor, according to employers' statefient, range fro-n J-.li to $1.SS, or an averac of $..oJ- and for unakilled labor, from $1.2i' to $1.05, an average of $1.15, giving a general average of $2 3S per day. The average wa.es paid boys was 9 cents and the average wages paid women and gir s 91 cents a day. The report gives statistics of eighty-two stone quarries, including oolitic imestone. gand-ton and variom other qualities, and giving investments in buildings, grounds and machinery of $1.810,225 The amount quarried in 1892 is iven at 7,940,590 cubic feet, valued, when loaded upon cars, a: $1,342,27". These quarries employ 2,518 men. The wages paid for skilled labor ranced from $2.90 to $1.S0. or ?2.35 a day, and for unskilled labor the average was $1.40 to $1.15, or $1.29 a day, giving a general avernge of f 1 82 a day. The encaustic tile industry includes two of the largest establishments in the country, having investments in grounds, buildings and machinery of $105 000. The expenditure for material is seated at 80,000 and the annual product is given at $250.000. These establishments give employment to 254 persons, whose average daily wages are $1.01, ranging from $4, the highest, to 50 cents, the lowest daily wages naid. The coal mining industry occupies 105 pa?es in the report, and is specially interesting and valuable. The report gives the area of the coal fields of Indian, and etatiitics are supplied from fifty-two mines the most important in the state showing an investment in lands of $i.395.200. in buildings of $177.811, in machinery of $345,038, and in animals of $38,204 a total of $4,y56253. The product of the mines reporting is practically 2,000,000 tons. The proprietors of these mines report 5,001 miners. The report is exceedincly interesting as showing average product per miner, the wares paid, the cost of powder, eil, eqaibti, keeping toos in order, and the loss to miners by screen ag. The daily wages of the miners range from $2.47 to 74 cents per day, or a general av. rage of $1.45 per day. The glass iadaatry of the state is assuming great importance and the report includes seventeen establishments having aa investment in buildings, grounds and machinery of 1552.000, csnsuming materials annually to the amount of $02 209, and giving an annual product of $.',215,275. exclusive of the great plate g!an plant at Kew Albany. These peventeeu establishments employ 1,617 men. 582 boys and ninety-three women, a total of 2,292 persons. According to at'nployera' stato nenta the wages of men, ski. led and unskilled, average $0.07 per day, and unskiilel iahor averages $1.60 a day, the senwral avtrage teiflf. $183, but according to the state neat ef employee the average daby wages is $2.59, ranging from $3.59 to $1.50 a day. The chapter devoted to prison labor brings into premiueac the fact that wajus paid for convict labor, practically 50 cents a day, operates disastrously upon th interests of outside labor, whicn calls loudly for reform. The chapter devoted to building and loan associations is exbaustive aud the presentation of the facte

is in such concise form as enables the reader at a glance to comprehend the magnitude of the interests involved. Keports of 329 association- ara tabulated, giving the following important sum totals:

The chapters on general statistics occupy 252 pages oi the report, in which is tabulated cereal crops, economic, social and criminal statistics. The rai.road interests oi the state receive special attention, and the data -supplied affords valuable information relating to the operation of these artificial arteries ot transportation. Taken altogether, it will be readily conceded that the fourth biennial report of the department of statistics is the mot valuable that has been issued, but. as Mr. Pei li-K remarks, a beginning having been made in the collection of labor statistics the public may proper y anticipate in the next report a more extended and exhaustive presentation of information reiating to the itidtietrios of the state. It should be mentioned in regard to the averages of rages given that they are uaua ly higher t ian the individual averages. They are made by averaging the highest and lowest wages of each class without taking into account the number employed in eacb class, and therefore present only class av erages. The New Kpocli Hcgins. March 4 marks the beginning of anew epoch in the history of the United States. Hie change of sentiment that will characterize it has already occurred to a considerable extent, but now begins the putting in effect of the wili of the people. Fora number of years the country had balled between two opinions, now leaning one way and now the other, but at the last election it expressed its desire to move forward, and expressed it eo clearly and decisively that thert could be no possibility of mistaking the meaning. There is now no excuse for heoitancy, and there wili be none. The- man elected stands practically as the embodiment of the principle for which the country voted. Under his administration the policy of tariff reform will be inauurated, and th only rivalry of the great parlies of tbo future on the tariff question wi.l be aa to which shall reduce the tariff most. That question is practically bottled so far as the doctrine of protectionism! ia concerned. The question of using national power to control local elections is practically eettled. The battles of the future will be fought on new lines. The party control of the government changes with bright prospects for a long period of democratic eupremacy. The republican party made its last great effort in ISSS. It succeeded in obtaining control of the government and proceeded to lay a basis for iuture control iu accordance witli well-eat tbiidlied ru es of stalwart politics. By the admission of rottenborough states and by the force bill, it endeavored to secure a permanent control of the government without the wishes of tho people, by the McKinley tariff bill it endeavored to make eure of the necessary luadj for the corruption of voters in elections. The attempt fai ed. The force bill cou d not obtain even the approval of the republican officials. Tho tariff outrage raised a storm of revolt that carried out of the republican ranks half a dozen states supposed to be abso utely safe. It was a most timely lesson th -t the American people cannot be coerced nor defrauded. It was a demonstration that the people do govern. Tho memory of the struggle wiil linger, and will have its effects. All that is nec ssary for continued democratic success now is a strict devotion to the real interests of the masses. Class legislation has been shown to bt a failure. Mr. Cleveland come to his office under di erent circumstances from those in which he left it. Ho comes by a confession of the " peoule that they made a mistake in not continuing him. lie finds the ollice in different condition. The surplus he had accumulated has disappeared. The boasted financial ability of the republican party has proven a failure. The treasury has been brought to the verge of bankruptcy. Their measure by which the financial problem waa to be solved has met with such universal disfavor that even its author ia begging for its repeal. Their is claimed to bet danger of a financial crisis on account of these effects of republican misrule, and yet there is an universal feeling of confidence that no serious rebulta will ensue. There is a calm belief that the new administration will be equal to a 1 the burdens that may fall upon it, that all perplexing questions will be satisfactorily solved, and that a few months will find the country in the eanae prosperous condition that existed four years ago. That confideuce is not mis placed. Tho IieKlla'ure and ihe Pre9. The senate has defeated the proposed amendment of the Grubbs libel law, manifestly with the intention of indicting punishment on the newspapers of the state. The speeches of the members who op posed it show this. They claimed that the newepnpers had misrepresented tht-m, and Mr. Mcllt'on of Tippecanos, in particu ar, launched in a sea of billingsgate with ali the familiarity of an experienced pilot in such water. It is, of courjs, an injury to tho newspapers of the state that the b.ll wvi not pane l, and the failure is due to the independence of those papere that have protested against the follies of this lek'inlature. It is an effort to lash the preps into commendation of whatever tho democratic majority in the legislature sess ütto da There i at. impresiion among these ata'esmen that they ara tbo democratic party and thtt the democratic pre- is under obligations to defend them in any course. We bg to a-sure them that they are mistaken. No paper that is honest with its readers will ever be guided by any such rule, and no paper that is true to its party will ever bedtate to candeuin action by party officials that

will injure the party. If we understand the temper of the Indiana press we think these people will find that they are crack ing their whip at th- wrong time. The amend nent of the libel law was asked not as a favor, but as an act of justice. It permits a pull slier to submit in evidence in a libel suit a subsequent re traction, apology or explanation as lending to disprove the charge of malice. Every criminal has the ojportunity to show absence of criminal intent, and there is no reason why any man should Da punished for malice without being given an opportunity to show that be had no malice. As a matter of fact, no sensible newspaper man publishes libelous statements that be believes or even suspects to be false. He would be foolish, to do so. but every newspaper is liable to make mistakes, and every one is liable to be imposed upon. Men who have objects to gain frequently attempt to secure publication of improper matter. We have known legislators to make such attempts. If newspapers published the half that ia told them, hardly a day would pass without its libel suit. In the very nature of things it must occasionally hapuen that the best intentions and the utmost care will not avail to prevent mistake, and under euch circumstances it is most unjust to punish a man for ma'ice he never knew. We have not the slightest belief in any profeeeion of opposition to this bill from principle. It ia on it-t face a puny and miserable show of resentment, and nothing more. In regard to the criticiams that have been made of members U may be as well for them to remember that tha man who invites criticism by his actioue is most responsible for the criticism that ensues. A few days ago the Washington Post aptly said: "Those statesmen who have greatness thrust upon them generally loaf in the vicinity of the thrusting apparatus." The same thing can be as truly said of statesmen who have criticism thrust upon them, and the public undarstand that thoroughly. They need not hpe to escape blame by vil ifying newspapers. Mr. MciluGH, for example, may give his chief thanks to himself. The press did not introduce h i Koby bill. The pre.s did not introduce and secure the passage of his hi. 1 extending the terms of town officers or his rai road stock bill. The press did not put him in a position to con'.rol legislation, nor in any war aid and abet him in his control. We would advise him and other members who are complaining of misrepresentation to prepare thir defense for their acts and not waste time in reviling. Before the leg elature adjourns let the majority appoint a committee to make a diagram of the creditable things it has done and an explanation of the objectionab e thing. It will be needed in the next campaign. Colors and Flower at FuneralsMany efforts have been made within rerent years to improve the dark and lugubrious surroundings wnich attend death and the funerals that follow it. Henry Ward Behciiek many years ago advocated the banishment of ao much crape and other dark and somber emblems and advised the use of flowers and colors other than black. So:r.e changes have been mtdo ar.1 occasionally an eccentric innovation has been introduced, yet in the main the same customs largely prevail as obtained a century aco, except, perhap?, in the matter of black crape. This, though used to eo .-o extent, has been largely curtailed. The French, perhaps, were the fire:, to welcome flowers and other chetrful emblems into the last rites, but even yet a I'ariuian funeral is a somber afiair, not le?s 60 than an American one, and it is difficult to make anything else out of it. Deaths and funerals are necessarily sa i occasions, and, no matter what is occompliahed outwardly by loving hands, the overtowering fact that a friend or relative is dead cannot be obscured by any device of human nature. yV. young girl died last week in Louisville. She commanded universal affection, as was evidenced by the general sympathy extended to her parents, whohad lost their daughter in the very bloom of life. They were completely prostrated by the sad event. An attempt was made by Borrowing friends and loving hearts to du'l the keen edge ot the visitation and Mowers and colors were introduced in othe obsequies. One ot the newspapers ca led it "A Pink Funeral," and another "A Flower Funeral.'' The casket was covered with delicate rose-tinted cloth w ith a pall of lilies and pink roses tied at the four corners by large bowa of pink ribbon. In addition tu the number of exqui.-ite floral designs sent by the friends of tho decras d nd her sorrowing parents, the entire chancel where the services were held was eonverted into a perfect bower of blossoms, the reading desk was loaded with ilieH and roses and the altar-rail fringed with masses of beautiful flowers tied with ribbons of bright crimson, rone and white. The cross over the altar was surmounted by a large garland of mignonette. Th-. schoolmates of the yonng girl were all present, many of them wearing little knots of white ribbon upon their arm. The shroud was made of a delicate pink material and about the beloved form was a garland of Dink rosea and lilies of tha valley. Another reporter, in his account of the funeral, said that the flowers were tho moat exquisite in design ever witnessed in the city. The altar was covered with them, the entrance to the chancel representing "Gatt-e Ajar" ia white hyacinths, with the railing wreathed with the same flower and maidenhair ferns. Crosses, stars and crescents, wreathes and hearts were in profusion all about the rostrum. Altogether it was a very notable occasion, and if the introduction of eolors and flowers into the sad ob.-equies asuaged the grief of the parents cr made more cheerful the natural sad and somber surroundings of the scene this display must have been aucceeaful. The overwhelming thought, however, to thvse most closely bereaved wai that death was there and their child was not.

We are) pleased to announce that the Hon. Mackice Thompson has been selected as the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poet this year. This ia quite a d rtir.gui&hed honor, not only to the gentleman himself, but also to our commonwealth. On the shaky principle perhaps that nothing good comon out of Nazareth, wes'ern men have been, to a large extent, ignored on tht so occasions by eastern institutions. Ignorant of the culture and literature of Indiana and the

attainments of its poeis, authors and writers, the state has been overlooked. In referring to Mr. Thompson's selection the current it-sue of Harper's Weekly says: Mr Macricf. Thompson is to be the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poet this year, and Gen. Francis A.Walkkk of the Massachusetts insti.ute of technology is the chosen orator. To be invited" to pronounce the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poem is the American distinction which seems to bear the closest analogy to carrying off tho annual prize for poetry at Oxford. Moet of the recent Phi Beta Kappa poets have been products and representatives of the effete Eas, aud have been possibly rather distinguished for general cul ure than notorious for a demonstrated ability to compose marketable verse. It is a ma'ter for congratulation ti at this year the society has reached out into the woolly West and got an untrammeled bard of a fresu type. It is to be hoped and expected that Mr. Thompson will give it such abundant encouragement in this new departure as to incite in committee to open negotiations with euch other western masters aa Eugene Field and Wuitcomb Kiley. "The Woolly West" ia a misnomer 60 far as Indiana is referred to. The woolly West is now nearer the settingsun, and aa too far west is east the searcher after the locality may perhaps find it now nearer the Atlantic seaboard.

Amono the universal commendations of the selection of Col. Hkrbert for secretary of t'.e navv, we imagine that fow will come to him with more pleasing force than the following letter from Ad 3 lira Jocett: My Dear Sin First, I wish to congrHtulate the country ; second, the navy, and third, yourself, upon vour nomination to the naval portfolio. This broad-gauge appointment ohliterntea the sectional and war estrangement, and gives the country and navy a man who understands tho best interests of the navv; insures honest and economical leg station, and the continuance of the "new navy." And, last, allow me to congratu ate you personally. Sharing the country 'a plen-ur at this wise appointment, I beg to remain, very respectfully yours, James E. Jocett. Such an expression from an union naval commander to a confederate officer is one of the many indications that the war is over. ET CETERA.

Joe Goddard, the "Barrier Giant," and Ed Smith, the Denver pugilist, met tonight in the arena of the Olympic club for a purse of $10,000, the loser to take barely -nouh from the purse to d-fray his training expenses. With the shadow of the Byan-Daweon fizz e eti I hoveting in the air and the small and disinterested crowd which witnessed the cheap fight of Hinds and McMillan, the membera of the Olympic club were anything but in pood spirits until reassured by the prospect of a big crowd to witness the Australian and Denver boy battle with each other. The handsome rlub house was ablaze with dazzling lights, crowded carriages filled the streets surrounding the grounds, and the reception committee was taxed to its utmost in the entertainment of the cinb'a gueeta hours before the time for the fight. Gotblnrd in Town Karty. Goddard. strong as a lion, reached the city from his training quarters at Biloxi early in the morning. A number of his friends and a sm a 1 crowd of curiotitv seekers assembled at the depot to greet the big Australian, but Joe seemed anxious to avoid any notoriety, and escaped the crowd through the strategy of Billy Madden. Entering a c osed carriage, the two were driven to a small hotel, scarcely a block from the club house. He remained in bed till G oMock renting himself. When he put in an appearance at the club and waa at once ushered into the dressing-room set apart for hi n, he lookei tig and strong with not an ounce of superfluous flesh on his bodv, showing that he had trained faithfully and well. Hia muscles were like bars of iron, on which the veins stood out line whip-cord-. His legs were strong and sturdy and he carried himself with a ct-nfident, determined air which had Smith 6een before be entered the arena might have d-tered him from engaging in the fight. Goddard had a slight cold which appeared bothersome, but he laughingly remarked: "The cold will leave me in a few minutes when I warm up to that Denver boy." THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS.
