THE threatened Chicago and Milwaukee ‘‘beer war” isoff. ‘Lhe brewers have arranged their difficulties amicably, and the momentary vision of lager at three cents a giass which gladdened the hearts of the thirsty dweilers by the great lakes, has gone glimmering with the dream of things that were.

THE population of Germany, which was only 14,833,000 in 1816 is now fifty-one and a half millions',ivand is increasing at the rate of a half a million a year while the population |of France remains stationary at about 38,350,000. These figures demonstrate that France, single-handed, can never hf)pe to defeat Germany in a war, so long as the Germans are united, © |

THE county elections throughout Georgia the first week of the new year show heavy democratic gains everywhere, Many counties which were strongly populistic in the last two elections returned to the %democratic fold, The negroes in many of the counties voted solidly with the Democrats, The populists carried less than 20 of the 180 ¢ounties. |

IT 18 AGAIN the Northern Indianian, the changs bsing made with the first issue of the year, and the paper - comes to us 1n a beautiful new dress of a neat faced brevier and arranged in splendid style.

: AN IMPORTANT decision as toengage ment rings has been pronounced in Vermont, A young man sued to recover one that he had giyen to a young woman who, after accepting the ring,. repudiated the engagement. The Vermont judge decided that the ring must be returned or else the recipient must fulfill the conditions under which it was presented, Thisruling isdifferent from that of the English courts which some years ago, decided that an en- ‘ gagement ring was not recoverable ander any circumstances. THE complaint of the French .agriculturists that the importation of Amerjcan cattle has had the effect of reducing the price of meat in the . French markét should elicit an expression of sympathy from the Mec- - Kinley side of the tariff question. Mec- - Kinley should furnish the French advocates of dear meat with arguments in favor ‘of the infant industry of raising calyes, while Harrison might explain to them that a cheap beefsteak . makes a cheap man. It would be interesting to hear what the French con- - sumers of American meat have to say “in answer (o the agriculturists. i {e e 1 * - Duw’s REviEw produces facts and - figures which show that the financial ' d;nucn of 1893 were by -no wmeans ~equaled in 1894, On the conti'sryj:fﬁé; continuing effects of the disaster of 1893 ha we been remarkably limited in g antsnds aompared W i, et ?j R T SN L P R T LTI

AN EXCHANGEK sensibly remarks that. if the Jegislature acts on 10 per cent. of the suggestions made 1t will have a busy session and the statute books will be incumbered with a whole lot more useless, 1f not harmful laws. Thatlegislature never met that did not haveits duty and its whole duty outlined for it by the zealous, press but the instances twherein the program was followed are S 0 rare as to be notable. When a legislature gets well under way the prin’cipal object in view appears to be the next election.

~ Apvices from Indianapolis point’ to the election of Justus C. Adams, of Indianapolis, as speaker of the Indiana house of representatives, though Mr. Merritt, of LaGrange, has quite a following. Mr. Adams is considered well qualified, and Democrats and Republicans alike pronounce him level headed and fair. The same could have been said for Mr. Merritt,and his many friends in Northern Indiana would have liked to have scen him succeed, The leading politicians over the state are for Adams and his pull is seemingly too strong to overcome. -

The retirements of officers of the United States army for age this year will include not only many of high rank, which will make promotion lively all along the line, but a number of those who have war records as well. There are Generals Schofield, McCook, Casey and Abbott;Colonels Mendell and Elliot of the engineer corps; Colonels Hodges and Bingham of the quarter master’s department; General Smith and Major Eckles of the pay corps; Colonel Smith and Major Vickery of the medical corps; Colonel Winthrop of the adjutant-general’s department, and Colonel Gilman of the subsistence department. In service ' where promotion is usually so slow the number who will be advanced this year is re‘markable. :

Indiana Farmers' Institutes.

An annual report on farmers’ institutes has been made to the goyernor. These institutes were begun in 1889, when they were held in fifty counties. Last year institutes were held in all the counties of the state. W. C. Latta of Purdue university, is the superintendent of the institute work, He maps out the time of the various meetings and the special topics of -instruction. He reports that interest in the institutes is growing among tarmers. The farmers’ institutes are similar to those héld by school teachers; advanced jinstructors are hired to give information to those less skilled. The annual state appropriation 18 $5,000. The report ‘also.shows that the attendance 1n Noble county is far below the average in the state, a condition that should be changed. ' il

An Unwise Proposition.

Strange as it may seem there are men and papers who adyocate the abolishment of the "office of county superintendent. of schools, on the groundl that such an officer is only a burden on the tax payérs-and that his work is ‘neither necessary nor benefictal. To argue this question would be ridiculous. A good superintendent is an exceptionally useful officer. Without him there would be neither ordér, system, organization or ad. vancement in our schools. Of course there are old experienced teachers who do not néed the aid or advice of the superintendent, but they are few in number. With our vast annual outlay of money for the maintenance of our common schools, it is of the greatest importance to have a man at the head to keep up the standard of the work and see that teachers do their duty to scholars and patrons. Superintendent schools is one of the very last offices the people can afford to abolish, — Columbia City Post. = - o

Not so Bad as all That,

The fiext legislature will have in the house 81 Republicans and 19 Democrats on the opening day. The figur:s may be 82 to 18, if the Tipton county republican, where there is a tie vote, is seated. In the senate there will be 32 Republicans and 18 Democrats, Of the .26 senators elected the Democrats oniy got 4. This will give the Republicans a strong lead on the holdovérs for the next senate,—so strong in fact that there is hardly the remotest posibility of their losing the next senate, and a very strong probability of a republican majority on joint ballot two years later even under the present gerrymander.—Goshen Times, The Times as well as numerous other papers in Northern dndiana have been giying the Democrats but 18 members of the senate. In all lists that we have seen and some of them sent out officially, the senate js divided 30 to 20 in favor of the Republicans Of the twenty-five senators elected in November the Democrats got six, I'his will still leave a big majority, however, of the hold-overs, but not hard to overcome if the apportionment is left in its present shape. .

It Can’t be Done Neighbor,

Noble county’s representative in the legislature, and those from this part of the state who want to see the proper thing done, will use their influence with the judicial apportionment committees to have Noble and LaGrange constitute one district, and DeKalb and Steuben another. No apportionment will be complete that does not make 'these changes.—Albion New Era. ~ This would make this county a circuit, the proper thing to do. At present Kosciusko county is a ecircuit, while Noble and Whitley form one. Whitley could be added to Kosciusko, and with the change suggested b{ the New Era, a much more equitable al- - would be the result—Goshen News. e e

Our esteemed friend of the News would find such an arrangement could not be made. Whitley county is the home of Judge Adair whose term of office does not expire until 1897 and Kosciusko county has a resident judge who has a very long time to serve, Under the ruling of the supreme court of but a-few months ago no judge or any_ other constitutional officer can be legislated out of office even by taking his district away from him. This has been tried without success. The ehances are that the circuit will romain a 8 it is. It is now satisfactory to eyerybody but a few designing politicians. Those subscribers who ze,ne:alxgag, with wood are admonished that this is about the time that we like to have the wood bouse filled. Bringitin,

. THE REFERENDUM, s Among the Tresolutions adopted by the American Federation or L.aborcopyvention, at Denver was one providing for the appointment of a committee to work for direct legislation by means of “the referendum’ in each state. As labor organization are showing a decided disposition to operate on political lines, and as a demand of the referen‘dum is likely to become a part of their platform, it is desirable that people understand what it means. The word itself is Latin and is-only found in the most recent English dictionaries. In its political sense, as first introduced in . Switzerlend and as occasionally used in this country, it means the reference, when demanded, of legislative acts to the people for ratification or rejection. In Switzerland the principle was first adopted in the cantons and finally in the general government. An ‘article in the Swiss constitution was amended in 1878, ' provides that «sfederal laws shall be submitted to be accepted or refused by the people. if they be demanded by 30,000 voters or by eight cantons.’”” 1t will be observed that under the Swiss plan, not all acts of the legislature are submitted to a popular vote, but only those whose submission is demanded by the petition of 80,000 citizens or eight outof twentytwo cantons. The referendum was

adopted 10 Switzerland through thel effort of the radical party and was opposed by the counservatives. The for-| mer predicted great benefits, and the latter that it would broye injurious and dangerous. Neither prediction' has been wholly veritied. The referendum has not fullfiled the hopes of its friends, nor altogether justified® the fears of its opponents. It has done very little good, and, as yet, uo great harm. One result, however. is noted. It is said that so far as the character of {egislation and the influence of the government is concerned, its effect in Switzerland has been injurious.. The people have come to look upon their representatives as mere mandatories. charged with. the preparation ot measures which, until approved by the popular yote can have no validity, As a natural consequerce, the position of representatiye is less valued and less sought, and the present generation of representatives are inferior in character and ability to their predecessors. In Switzerland the referendum js accompanied by ‘‘the initiative’’ which giyes the people the power of initiat-

ing as well as vetoing legislation. The two together place unlimited power in the hands of the people without any check on its arbitrary, whimsical or tryannical exercise. An instance ‘of this occurred recently. About a year ago the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals started an agitation of prohibiting the Jewish manner of slaughtering animals for food by bleeding them before they are dead and several of the cantons passed such a law. The Jews appealed to the federal government to protect théir religious liberties, and the cantons were directed to expunge the laws. Meanwhile the people took the matter up, 83,000 yoters demanded a general referendum, and, impelled. by hatred of the Jews, they enacted by popular vote a general law prohibiting the observance of the talmudic rules for butchering. From an American standpoint this seems like a yery trivial cause of national excitement but it shows what whimscal things gopular majorities . may do under the impulse of prejudice and passion. : - sie | Thejobjections of the adoption of the referepdum in this country are, first, that it} is not needed. ' Under our con-. stitutibn the people already possessall necesjary control over legislation. If congress or a state legislature enact an unpopular or oppressive law the people can soon elect another congress or legis lature that will repeal it. Second, the referendum is not in accordance with the American system. This 18 arepresentative not a democratiz form of government. Its adoption in this country would be a radical change in our torm of government and one of yerv doubtful wisdom, Third, it would add a cumbersome and expensive feature to our political system, without so far as | can be seen any compensating benefit. | It is often said that we have too much | politics and that our elections are too frequent. If in addition to national, state, local and municipal eleciions the people also had to vote on every im portant measure of legislation there would be but little rest from. politiea. | Aside from the expense of such frequent ballotings it would tend to dis- | gust the better. class of citizens with politics and throw the shaping 'of legislation and control of the govern‘me 1t into the hands of those least qualified to exercise it wisely.—lndianapolis Journal. i ea

Should Be Encouraged.

In spite of the indifferent success that has attended previous efforts to carry on a lecture course we have decided to make another attempt. 'No one will question the advantagesin the way of culture that would come from a series of good entertainments of this character. We are desirous of doing all that we can for the benefit of our schools, and it is hoped that a lecture course, if carried on in counection with the schools, will serve somewhat to put our older pupils more in touch with the great world outside the narrow limits of the school. The number of lectures or entertainments will depend entirely upon the support which the public may be willing to accord us.. Some expense has been incurred in fitting up our school hall, and if there should be any profit in this enterprise it will be applied first to meeting obligations already existing and after meeting these expenses all surplus will be applied to the purchase of supplementary reading matter for the schools. At the ?roper time a complete account of all receipts and expenditures will be rendered. May we not have the hearty co-operation and the liberal patronage of the public in this matter. o, : ' . Very respectfully, - . ; T W. C. PALMER, : G Supt. of Schools.

Robinson, of Shelby county, pr_e.sidex,it of the National Farmers’ Mutual ‘Benefit Association, stopped over at Indianapolis the other day on his way to White county to lecture before a farmers’ institute conducted by the F. M. B. A. *Nothing is doing more for the farmer than these institutes,”’ said | Mr. Robinson -'lt was a long time before the farmers of many communities.could be induced to attend these meetings, or take any interest in them. They were opposed to them, because a little money was required to support the movement. Now there are not many ‘communities in which the farmers are ‘ not interested in the work of the institutes. - The work has its social Bide,

Late Li{.erary News.

An old fashioned sea story full of interest and adventure, with a-strong love motive, is begun by W. Clark Russell in the January Cosmopolithn. *Ouida’’ succeeds Frqude, Gosse, Lang and other distinguished writers with an instalment-of the ‘Great Passions of History’’ series, which has been appearing in the Cosmopolitan. A discussion is aroused by Mr. Edward Bok’s article on “The Young Man and the Church,” which will consume tons of ink before 1t is settled. Just preceding the famovs Charcot’s death he ‘prepared an article for the Cosmopolitan on Pasteur, to be published after Pasteur’s death. But Charcot has died first, and so with the consent of Charcot’s executors, the article is giyen now. The present ‘“Theatrical Season in New York™ is critically considered by Mr. James S. Metcalfe, editor of Life, and there are stories by Tourgee, Howells, and the famous French writer Francois Coppee. ' o

Cleanable Collars and Cuffs.

**Celluloid” collars and cuffs are one of the greatest blessings that was ever brought to mankind by the genii of invention, especially the man whose occupation demands that he wear his Sunday clothes every day, as Bill Nye puts it. A daily change of linen runs into a considerable laundry bill in the course of a year. “‘Celluloid’” makes 1t possible to add this item to the year’s savings. Many men. when buying waterproof collars and cuffs make the mistake of believing that it’s all the same soo long as they are called ‘‘celluloid.”” © This is a grievous error. The genuine ‘‘Celluloid’ collars and cuffs are peculiarly made, being 1n reality a linen collar or . .cuff covered on both sides with pnre waterproof ¢ Celluloid.”’ This prevents cracking, and-increases the durability of the article. When soiled, it can be wiped off with a damp cloth and*made to look equally as well as the most skillfully laundered-linen. All dissatisfaction with ‘‘celluloid’’ collars and cuffs can be avoided by looking for the trademark, ‘*Celluloid” stamped on the outside.of every piece.
