FOLLOWING 1892. More statistics bearing on the condition of things following the democratic success at the polls in 1892: July 2S, 1S93: More failures and suspensions, including nine banks in the west and nine in Kentucky. August 1: Collapse of the Chicago provision deal. Many failures of commission houses. Great excitement in the Board of Trade. August 8: The Cheimcal bank, one on the strongest in the country, is unable to fill its weekly order for small currency.

ANOTHER EXCUSE. The latest argument, against the installation of the modern street lighting system in Hammond, an improvement that is making all of the neighboring cities brilliant at night,
is the hostility of certain aldermen to the company which would install the
conduits, posts and supply the cur rent.
Aitnouga trie .Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company proposes to make the installation and furnish the current In Hammond for exactly the
same figure that it Is done In East Chicago, South Chicago, Valparaiso

with making excessive charges.

getting just as good a rate as any
other city but what if the price is a little excessive. Must the city re
main in Stygian darkness for five or ten years until the few kickers are
satisfied withMhe rate. If this position is logical:
1. Let's stop eating meat until the
beef trust cuts the price. 2. Let's walk until the street rail
way company gives us five minute
service. 3. Let's drink beer until the sani
tary commission finally prevents the
pollution of Lake Michigan.
4. Let s hoof it to Crown Point
until the Erie gets ready to put on
more trains.
5. Let's vote the prohibition ticket to get even with Taft, Roosevelt, Wil
son and Debs.
6. Let's make fools of ourselves tt the risk of being called one of the
hirelings of the Northern Indinaa
Gas & Electric Company.
Gentlemen your position Is not
tenable.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
A man is not a good citizen merely
because he votes and obeys the laws and yet what kind of a citizen is he if he doesn't vote because he is too
indlerent to register?
Citizenship implies something more
than these.
A good citizen is interested in helping to make the laws. He cannot see
crime and vice supported or permit
ted by law and be content. If he doesn't help to put good men In office
to make the laws, how can he be
called a good citizen?
To call a man a good farmer be
cause he bought a place and did not
tread down any of the crops, woul
be absurd. A good farmer studies his
soil, labors on his farm and makes
each, acre of ground produce the most
it can.
A man cannot call himself a good
citizen, no matter how worthy he may be in other respects, unless he
studies his country's needs and pos
slbllities and personally works to bring about the very best conditions
possible.
The world has made great strides
in the last three hundred years, but these are conditions fundamentally
wrong today that will appear as ah
ura a nunarea years rrom today no
the burning of witches, the enslave
ment of negroes, and the persecution
of religious reformers appear todav
the proposition that the world
must support a worthless pup in
luxury because his father instructed it to do so, in a document called a
will, must be relegated to the
archives.
The world is moving on, and the
people who are keeping it In motion
are the good citizens.
But if you haven't registered on
October 7 you won't be permitted to
vote and you can't call yourself
good citizen.

PRACTICE SHOULD BE EXTENDED
South Shore interurban ticket
agents now refuse to pell a ticket to
man who is under the influence of
liquor. The enforcement of this rule
s to be commended and it is too bad
that it cannot be extended to all
street car lines.
While conductors will invariably
eject drunken men who become too
offensive there are often exceptions
and quite frequently women and chil
dren have to stand for insults.
The state of Illinois has some very
good laws in this connection. Under the terms of a recent statute conduc
tors are made peace officers and have
the power to arrest intoxicated men
or any one who drinks liquor on a
train. ,;
It would save a lot of trouble with
drunken men if conductors anticipated their undesirible presence on the
cars.
"STRIPES are to be worn another
season, says an autnority on iasn-
ion. But not by Ice King Morse, of
New York.
KEEL sorry after all for Georgey
Perkins. Can't get anybody to share
the expense with him.
STERILIZE THE EPILEPTICS. Indiana has a sterilization law for
criminals of the confirmed and
hereditary class. It has been enforced on about three hundred degenerates at. the Indiana reformatory. This
law is a good one. It may need some
strengthening. But it needs public support more.
However, there is now a rrovement
on foot to strengthen it and to so am
plify its scope as to include epileptics and other degenerate unfortunates.
Society must protect herself and
harsh measures are sometimes kind measures. But there is no question
but that sterilization is highly
proper, and would in a century ex
terminate most of the degenerates says the Anderson Bulletin.
Washington has declared the
sterilization law constitutional, and
eminent charity, workers approve it as humanitarian, and of great benefit to the human race.
QUESTION after all which is really the worst, boil weevil, mosquito or
the political bee?
AL. J. Beveridge the invisible government will be In our midst this

THE New York dispatches make It
evident that attorneys cannot be too
careful as to what their women clients die of.
THE AEROPLANE IN WAR. That the aeroplane will figure in
warfare as a fighting machine as well as a dispatch bearer and an aid to scouting is indicated by the payment of $25,000 in prizes by the British
government recently to Aviator Cody. The prizes were offered through the
war office as rewards of victory in the
military competitions at Salisbury
Plains. Coincident with the Cody flights it was announced that a fund of $1,500,000 had been raised in Germany by public subscription to purchase a fleet of war aeroplanes for Emperor William.
It is impossible at this time to foretell the future developments in aviation. In the American civil war balloons were frequently used for the purpose of observing the movements of rival forces, but the modern aeroplane may become a terrible engine of death if experiments now being made are successful. It is easy to conceive how a daring aviator, under proper conditions, might circle high in the air over an enemy's camp at night, for instance, kand drop bombs among the sleeping
