Tbe Secretary of the Interior, under authority or tlie 1'resldent, has ordered Investigation of the official acts of Com missioner of Pensions Tanner, the Inves tlRRlion to extend back to Commissioner Illack's time. "Ile-ratinE" seethe to be the principal csnee of complaint. Com missioner of Indian Affairs Morgan's military record ia also to be investigated. There is said to be something rotton bout it so much so that it is doubtful whether the Senate will confirm his ap polntment. The appointment of these two officials was probably a mistake. The President ia rarely wrong when be s given time to examine records and in quire into character, but ia these in stance lie was too much hurried. avM It is not w(n nor judicious for aehoa officials to throw obstacles in the way of the adoption of the new sefeool-books. They nave eome to stay, and those who offer factious opposition to them only advertise their subserviency to Van Ant werp, Brag Co. The people are aroused on this subject. They have been so wronged and sneetiiated en that they "ft deternlned.to be releaeed from this burden. Those who stand in the way will yet hurt. Jvanivllle Journal,

The state's superintendent of public Instruction does not appear to aulvsntag e in the attitude of oiler lag objections to the operation of a law of the Mate, and flowing freely with suggestions as to the way oue may violate tlieuw without be lug hurt for it. It smacks too much of the politician and too little of the ollicial a characteristic which seems to largely per Taa s tne state oncers. Mr. la tow stte Is employed by the state to execute its orders concerning state education. The law'tnakieg body of the state made the orders, to-wit: The new school law. Mr. La Follette was. wc believe, a strongly opposed lo this law as ws even lao ecneoi-DooK ring ussu. jNtsvoriiieless, the state's law-making body made the law. It then becomes Mr. La Foil etto's duty to obey it, and be goes out side the proper atmosphere and sur roundings of sn office when he impresses himsell upon the public as he did in his interview with this paper yesterday, as depreciating the law and encouraging violations of it. On the other side ol his expression as an educator, iu which he condemns the geographies and readers selected, no criticism, pnrhapa, nevnud h question of taste, nsed be uinde; but he nevertheless does not therein appear to advantage, because he at once forces a cuttiparison between himself and such solicitors as Jordan, Jones, Smart, Parsons andwell, the point of the effect is that tbe people will not be deeply im pressed with the deleterious qualities of books which don't rise to Educator Lt Follette's standard, but which are ac ceptable to Edueators Smart, Parsons, Jones, Jordan and the like. The episode suggests the "desperation born of despair'' with which the school-book ring, falling to kill the law, is endeavoring to cripple it. To that gang our state su perintendent's attitude is a cotntort. to the cause of the people, which embodied in this law is an effort to break away Irom this ring, his attitude is cold com fert.

The prospectus of the newly organized Salt Trust is a pleasant document. This trust, by the way, is one of the latent bastard's begot ten of the tariff's Inst and tbe debauch ment of honest trade. This Salt Trust ealculates that its million of annual profits will be made by taking only a few cents from each individual of the 80,000,000 Inhabitants of the United States. It thinks no one ought to object to contributing a few cents to the un building of so grand and glorious an in stitution as the Salt Trust. One might almost fancy it imagined a seetful savor would he added to salt bv the knowl edge that these aggregate petty larcenies would create a few colossal money mag nates.

Senator Vance, as say lag that If these few cents, which the trust is so anxious to get from each Individual, are worth the trust's stealing they are also worth the individual's saving. An I so they ars. The right to kick against being robbed and the right to prevent robbery are higher rights than the right to rob.

.VALUE OF TIIR UAILROAIM.

Kil I road stock has not depreciated in value according to tbe notions of the members of the board, as the total valuations of the roads is placed at $2,020,815 in excess of what it was a year ago. The summary of the valuation of this year, as compared with last, is as fol lows: 18tn, 1888.

The number nf miles nf second main track and aide track is 1434 C5 for 1M9, while in 188S there was 1344.73 miles laid. Lake county has more miles of road than any other county, being credited with 240.55 miles of main track. The valuation of main, second main tnd sidetracks, and rolling stock and improvements is placed at 13,858,445. Laporte county has the second large! amount of trick, with Marion county a close third. There are three counties ia the stain Ohio, Brown and Switzerland in which there are no railroads. The road assessed (he highest Is the Chicago, St. Louis v riiianurg, its properly being valued at $5,317,730, and the next highest road Is the Pittsbiirsr, Fort Wayne s.

Rvannvlllt Journal All the talk ahont the seneriorlty of the books published by the Octopns, known ss Vsn Antwerp, Iiragg fs Co., over the series proposed by the new company, is the merest hastf. Byron In his ending satire, "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers," says that ". book's a book, although there's nothing In it." This Is hardly so. but that the old mono poly was able to compile the only set of books that wars suited for use "in teach ing the young idea how to shoot," is the worst kind of an absurdity. Wisdom and erudition will not die with the Oc topus that has so long tyrannized over the people of this State and even corrupted public officers by the hundred. Let it retire to some more congenial held than Indiana. This State has the intel ligence and responsibility adequate to supply our glorious common schools with books suited to their use. and at prices within the reach nf the poorest pupil. It is nselese to "kick against the pricks." i ne uctonus is dead, so far aa Indiana is concerned. It may as well discharge its paid corps of corruptionlslsand save its money hereafter. It has had its day. It has retired enough millionaires to fully satisfy any claim it may ever have had on the people of Indiana. Hereafter the iree education given the children of the commonwealth from our amnio schoolfund will be supplemented by hooks at half the extortionate prices heretofore exacted. This result is only a stspplng stone to still higher achtevesjteuti iu hi half of popular education.
