A defective remonstrance at Wolfott results in Albert Ellis being granted a liquor license to conduct a saloon at that place.

The Delphi Herald says that re? port has it that ex-congressman C. B. Landis is to be appointed to the governorship of Porto Rico, one of the juicy plums the administration has to give out. When the average politician once gets a taste of public office it seems to unfit him for anything else, and the Landis brothers have all fattened so long at the public crib that they simply can’t get along away from it, and must be provided for. Indianapolis papers state that Jim Watson hhs a cinch on this appointment. The following Democrat subscribers have ordered the address of their paper changed since our Wednesday Issue: Wm.

NO MONEY FOR COLOREDMILITIA General Perry Calls Bassett Bill Superfluous. WHITES ON WAITING LIST Connersvllle Boys Have Been Paying Their Own Expenses— Adjutarlt Baya It May Be Found Necessary to Muster Out a Company or Two In Order to Keep Within the Expense Limit. Situation Will Be This Way For Two Years. Indianapolis, March 12.—The probability of the Indiana National Guard’s receiving four cqlored companies provided for by the Bassett bill, enacted by the legislature, is extremely remote, according to Adjutant General Oran Perry, who is now engaged in the puzzling problem of how the gfiard Is to meet the requirements of the federal government and get along on the 575.000 appropriated for the guard in the state's general appropriation bill. “As far as the Bassett bill is concerned,” said Perry, “it is entirely superfluous. There was nothing in the former law to prevent an organization of colored companies, and until the act had been signed by the governor no application for enlistment blanks had ever been made by colored men seek.lng to enter the guard service. An application has now been made, however, and I understand that steps are being taken to organize a company In Indianapolis. “It will be impossible for the guard to receive the company at any time during the next two years at least, because of the lack of money. A company of white boys has been organized at Connersville, where they have been paying all their own expenses for six months, waiting for an opportunity for us to take them in. We haven’t the money with which to equip the company, and it doesn’t look now as If we shall have.” Instead of adding companies to the present guard force, Perry is contemplating mustering out one or two companies as a measure of economy. Either this step must be taken, he said, or the state camp must be reduced from ten days to five, in order to keep the expanses of the guard within the appropriation. PUBLIC SALE.
