Query: If Jasper county can be run on a cent tax levy when the valuation is but $8,000,000, why is it necessary to levy 49£ cents with a $10,500,000 levy? there being no extraordinary expenditures to cause this great increase.

Voting machines were need in ten precincts of Indianapolis in the city election last Tuesday, and they gave universal satisfaction. In twenty minutes after the polls were closed in those precincts the vote was tabulated and made public. It is probable that Marion county will now buy machines for use in all precincts in the county.

John W. Holtzman, democrat* was elected mayor of Indianapolis last Tuesday over Bookwalter, republican, by a plurality of 1,000. Beer, boodle and bulldozing failed to win. ‘ Mr. Holtzman was opposed by the gamblers, barrelhouse keepers and bummer element generally, and therefore owes that element nothing. He should give Indianapolis a clean, honest and economical administration.

Anent the school board’s action on the negro girls’ transfers the Plymouth Democrat says: “The editor of the Starke County Republican is very much grieved because the Winamac school board refused to receive two negro girls into the schools. Perhaps the Knox editor would take a different view if hiß own daughter was obliged to occupy a recitation bench alongside a negress. There are places in Indiana where there are negro schools, and negro families should arrange to so locate that it may not be necessary to hnmilate the young white boys and girls, saying nothing about the physical discomfort that the presence of negroes is sure to cause our white children in consequence of tinged atmosphere. The negro is entitled to the blessings of liberty, but the races are distinct and it should not be necessary to remind those of the black race that their place is with their own people.”—P ula sk i County Democrat.

It is well known that the republicans are hoplessly divided on the question of currency legislation and it now seems certain that they will t get out of the difficulty by appointing a joint committee which will examine the needs of currency legislation and submit recommendations to Congress. Representative Hill of Connecticut, the ranking member of the last House Committee on Banking and Currency, has discussed the plan and declares that many republicans are in favor of it. While they do not believe that Congress is likely to accept the recommendations of the committee without reviewing the whole subject, they point out that it is better to have the present differences fought out in committee than on the floor of Congress, and also that it will postpone this embarrassing question until after the presidential campaign. Having thuß postponed tariff revision and financial legislation the republicans hope to enter the campaign without signs of a lack of harmony in the party. Meanwhile Secretary Shaw continues to provide against a money stringency by depositing treasury money in the national banks and by redeeming government bonds before they are due. In this manner he has placed over twenty-two millions in circulation. The republicans hope that the Secretary can thus satisfy those powerful interests which woultl otherwise clamor for currency legislation.

Last week marked the end of the postal investigations by the Washington grand jury. Just before adjourning it brought thirteen new indictments against ten men who stand accused of defrauding the government. The most remarkable of the new indictments was that of James N. Tyner who was until recently Assistant Attorney General for the Post Office and during Grant’s administration Postmaster General. This makes in all thirty persons who must stand trial for defrauding the government through the Post Office department. Among them is a former Postmaster General, an ex-congressman and a state senator from New York, 'a mayor of Pennsylvania, and six prominent postal officials, Machen] has fourteen indictments and Beaver six; many of the others have several. Fourth Assistant Bristow is finishing his report and intends to present it on Oct. 20. It is now reported that Representative Overstreet of Indiana will be named chairman of the House committee of post offices and post roads; and this seems to indicate that the republicans expect that politics will play an important part in this committee during the coming season and that it will require some one well versed in party politics to control the proposed congressional investigation of the Post Offioe Department. Mr. Overstreet is secretary of the national republican congressional committee and is regarded as a skillful politician and party manager. The republicans do not attempt to conceal the fact that they expect the democrats to make political capital out of the postal scandals.
