WHEAT commanding only 84 cents per bushel, the farmer who is sj;_’me‘ what in debt on his land cannot expect to discharge a very/large proportion of his obligations.

~ WiTH proper management, the large republican majority in Lagrange county can be considerably diminished.— “To acecomplish so desirable 4 purpose, ‘the management of the party must be intrusted into the hands of men who are in real sympathy with the people.

The Grangers of Lafayette county, Mo, have. adapted an address asking the Logislature of that State, in yiow of thie strfbgency of money affairs; the. shrinkage in value of every species of ‘property, the reduced prices of living, ‘and cq'r_re’ﬁpi'indf)ngg{réﬂhction in wages, and with a view of bringing official pay down upon the same basis,” to make a general reduction in the salaTies and emoluments of county officers. They request’ that no county Officer be allowed to recelve morethan. s2,ooo°a year; that no deputy receive: more than $5OO, and when employed for less than a year; not more th‘an $4l 4 month; that county assessors be limited to 8500 a year; that county treasurers be allowed $5OO a year and’ no deputy; and that all fees in excess of these salaries be paid into the county treasury.. The salaries suggested ‘by the hardworking old Grangers are -very small, perhaps tco small-to secure i the right kind of men even in the rural (villages of Missouri. But, sdys the N, Y. Sun, there is no question - about the soundness of the reasoning on which the petition for a reduction is founded. " The salaries of officials should be hrought nearer the compengation for similar labor is private life, not only in Misseuri,. but thonghout the whole United States. The commencement ought to be made at Washington, with the first.office in the gift of the nation. We never could see the propriety of doubling the President’s salary at the very time wages of laboring mer were being reduced from 50 Lo 100 per cent. -

UNAPRRECIATED GENEROSITY.

The principal” objection which the Waterloo ' Press and the ILagrange Standard can urge against the propo- | sition to make a senatorial district of Lagrange and Steuben is, that these counties have about 3,000 less male inhabitanls over 21 years of age than ' Noble and DeKalb. The editor of THE BANNER i 8 being savagely assailed be- ' cause he i 8 willing to concede one Senator to a basis of 7,627 in two republican cournties, as againgt a hasis, of 10,669 for a Senator in two. democratic counties! ' Have political journalists ever before exhibited such ingratitude toward a generous opponent ? If the case were reversed—i. e., if we had demanded a greater population to elect a ‘republican Senator than required for the election of a democratic Senator, there weuld be some sense or justice in the objection, but as it is | we must confess profeund astonish- ' ment at their unaccountable lack of appreciator of probably the most magnanimous overtures ever made to a political foe! : ! ~

The way votes were bartered for in this city at the late election, would, if made publie, cause every conscientions ehristian to drop on his knees in holy horror and pray the Lord to stay the merited punishment due for such heinous iniquity. An expose, such as might be backed up by reliable testimony, would cause a fluttering in certain quarters from which better things ought to come if they do not.—Elkhart Union ; : o ~Yet such organs as the ' W arsaw Indianian, Lagrange Standard, - ete., would have us believe that nota dollar was improper}'y used at the late election to secure the triumph of the National Bank party in this District. THE BANNER is in po3session of reliable information from various parts of the district that leaves no room to doubt the extensive use of money for corrupt purposes.

" '"TWELVE YEARS ago Noble county o - : N gave a republican majority of 600.— Elkhart county then rolled’ up about 300 xepublican majority. Since 1874 Noble county has steadily given the democratic State ticket a majority: about 200 in 1874, 87 in 1876, and over 400 in 1878. Elkhart county, on ‘the other hand, has been going steadily republican, with the solitary exception of the year 1874, when the Democrats achieved a temporary victory by going into some kind of a “people’s movement.” Why this difference ?

Iv the counties of Lagrange, Steuben, DeKalb, Allen, Whitley and Noble are to constitute our new congressional district, we want to see Fielding Prickett made the republican standard bearer in 1880.

' Being Bound Over for Trial, He Escapes From ' the Sheriffiand is Hotly Pursued. - ’= . {Special to the Ft. Wayne Sentinel.) . - AUBURN, Ind., Oct. 24th.—This has been a day of intense excitement for ‘Auburn. This morning found 'the First National Bank in the hands’ of Bank Examiner Ellis, with a placard displayed to the effect that the bank had closed and gone into liquidation. Hazzard’s preliminary examination was held this morning on the charge of forgery upon which he was arrested in Ft. Wayne yesterday and resulted ‘n-his discharge. He was at _onee re-arrested at the instance of the bank upon the charge of embezzlement. ' He then made a settlement by paying $17,000 in bank certificates in full for claims® aggregating $22,000. ‘After this was done:the sign in front of thebank was removed and the bank thrown open.” The bank examiner says it is in a perfectly solvent condition, and it appears that the sign was a ruse| for the purpose ‘of catching Hazzard. - The latter imagined that ‘he was finally freed from his troubles, ' but such was not the case. He was ‘this afternoon arrested a third time ‘upon the complaint of one of his viectims, on a charge of obtaining money ' under false pretences. lle had a preliminary examination at once, appearing as his own lawyer, but the case - went against’ him and he was placed under bonds in default of which he was remanded to the custody of the sheriff. This evening he succeeded in -making his escape from this officer, “and broke for the woods, to which he ‘wag followed by a large posse of men who are still in pursmt. Thereis intense excitement and indignation against Hazzard, who is believed to have all the stolen funds yet in his possession.. There 'is great disgust ~over his escape, and if he is recaptured it will certainly go hard with him, | (From Monday's Indianapplis Journal) - ' George -Hazzard, of Auburn, who ' gained some notoriety a few weeks since, returned to the city Saturday night, and' was assigned his old quarters, room No. 85, of the Grand Hotel. From this/it may be inferred that Mr. ‘Hazzard has effected another settlement with his creditors, who at last accounts were chasing him through. the woods. e

- A deep excavation is being madein Indianapolis for the foundation for a State house.

It 18 estimated that fully $3,500,000 0 -cash and securities were carried off, and, Yeyond mereé suspicion, it is believed the police have no clue to the ‘Tobbers, The janitor, Wertel,-made | the following statement; He. saidthat at ten-minutes past 6, while he was dressing, seven masked men rushed into his room, handcuffed him and ‘his wife, and demanded the keys of | the bank. ' His mother-in-law, an oldlady, who was present, screamed, when_the-burglars drew pistols, and threatened instant death to any one: wlio mmade a noise. They then carried: him into an adjoining room and forced him to deliver-up the ‘keys- of the street doors. = With these four of ‘the | party went down stairs, leaving three on guard in his room. Three hoars passed, and Wertel heard a clock ‘striking.. Just then one of the men from down stairs returned, and, after a whispered - consultation, they all left. ‘After he regained his courage | he went down and gave the alarm.— | Wertel admitted- to Supt. Walling | that he had given the combination unlocking the doors of the vault to the robbers. He gave it under threats { of instant death, but he failed to state how he got possession of the combination. His wife corroborated his story of the attack, but said there wereonly five men in the' party. The wvault opened is of iron about thirteen feet -long, eight feet broad, and eight feet high, and cost $40,000. Inside the main docrs of the safe vault the burglars found a space with shelves, upon which wers tin boxes filled with jew- | elry, silverware and valuable papers. These they emptied. They overlooked one box on a back shelf containing $50,000 in valuables, the property of ‘Edward Schell, president of the bank. 1t is thought that rrom the depesitors’ boxes the burglars got not less than | $1,000,000 in Donds and securities.— FAbout forty boxes were rifled. Out of the $3,500,000 but $ll,OOO in -eash L was obtained. The bank.is not responsible for the deposits. It was for the convenience of depositors that the combination and vault key were entrusted to the, janitor, a proceeding “that creates considerable comment.— As-many of the depositors wanted their boxes of valuables before 9 in the morning, they were in the habit of getting them from the janitor. But for getting the key and combination as they did, the burglars could not ‘have carried out their scheme at all.

THE QUESTION OF'!‘HE DAY,

National finance js without doubt the most important problem of the times, and the second edition of Mr. Fawecett’s Hand-Book of Finance, just published by S, C. Griggs & Co., Chicago, appears most opportunely. This volume gives the history. of paper money, from its very beginning down to its sovereign supremacy in civilized countries and particularly in the United States; it treats of suspensions of specie payments, and supplies a complete and lucid digest of the monetary laws of the United States. 'The book presents over 80 tables and diagrams, showing precisely the facts to which reference .is most frequently neccessary,including very many things which one needs to know, whether he has to-do with finaneial questions or not. S

Every citizen should inform himself on this subject as thoroughly as posgible, and the following extracts from leading papers about Fawecett’s HandBook of Finance, show how important an aid it will be to anyone. o *This volume should be read by all who take an interest in financial matters.”—London (England) Commercial. @azitte. : - “Of inestimable importance in the study of finance.”—Louisville CourierJournal. - T T “There is no species of exact inforJmation bearing upon the financial question which ' cannot be quickly found, between these covers.”—Utica. -Morning-Hereld. = -, . “Mr. Fawcett’s statistics are of such value that we do not 'see how any one’ who pretends to discuss finance generally: ¢can afford to be without them: —ZLondon Mining World. - , '~ . *We recommend all who désire to master. the subject of finance, by the argument’ of logic ‘and the logic of facts, careéfully to read TFawcett’s ‘Hand-Booek of Finance.’....As a full -and very complete collection of mon--etary statistics this work has never béen equaled or even approached. It is a storehouse of facts.”— Philadelphia Press. . ; - “It cannot fail to be of great use to students, writers and legistatdrs, as -also to bankers and merchants; who «desire o inform themselves of the influences which surround and consequently affect, favorably .if understood and availed of,'or unfavorably if disregarded, all their financial and commercial operations. - . . . Aeccepting Mr. Fawcett’s estimate of the steady inciease of .consumption .of gold in the arts, the adoption of the ‘double standard —gold and silver—as the basis of the monetary system, not ‘only of the United States, but of all ‘countries, will soon become an absolute necessity. Either this, or the enlargement of the volume of paper money.”"—Chicago Inter-Ocean. - | “Fawcett’s Hand-Book of Finance” ‘may be had of booksellers, or S. C. Griggs & Co,, Chicago, will send it ‘prepaid on receipt of price, $1.75.

» A Family Murdered for Money. ~ VINGENNES, Ind., Oct. 24.—John D. Vacelet and his wife and two sons, who were living two miles south of the city,. were- this moming found ~mangled and dead. Pierre Provost, the hired man, aged 50, has been arrested on suspicion of 'having been the murderer. Provost went to a neighbor’s house .about 4 in the morning and said in broken English that “they -had a h-—lll of a time over at Vacelets.” He said that about three o'clock this morning he awoke and found the room full of men, who were trying to kill all in the house. He. ‘jumped .out of-the window, and es‘caped wih a slight cut on the should‘er. All the rest were murdered. The ?osltion of:the dead, and surroundngs generally, do not bear him out in _thisstory. The belief is-that he first ‘killed the boys, and that the father, -hearing the trouble, ranto their res‘cue, and was struck down-as he entered the room.
