AFTER readinthhe.varioua state.ments of correspondents at the seat of 'war, concerning the horrors at Port Arthur, the impartial reader must conclude: that the bhinese committed atrocities which tﬁe Japanese repaid a hundred fold. | —__—-.:4_-_—__'.- : THE eccentric (Governor Waite. of Colorado, feels very bitterly his defeat for re-election. In his last annual message he recommends the abolition of capital punéish:bent, and suggests as a substifute ‘‘that/the most hardened criminals be compelled to run ascandidates for some state office,’’ .

RoBERT E. PATTISON has just retired from the goyernorship ot Pennsylvania, to which ,pjsition he was twice elected by the aid of anti-ring republicans. The day after quitting the gubernatorial chair at Harrisburg the democrats of Philadelphia nominated him for Ma.yor.;f He is yery strong with the people ﬁeneral‘ly and his election as mayor of Philadelphia would not be at all surprising, notwithstanding the fact that the city is overwhelm“ingly Republican; .

ACCORDING to the American grocer, the total output of canned tomatoes in the United States in 1894 was 5,606,979 cases, against 5,479,183 cases in 1893. In 1893, Maryland led all the states in this product, but in 1894 New .Jersey went head with 1,887,000 cases while Maryland produced - 1,309,876 cases. Indiana is the only other state that approaches seven figures closely. A year ago No. 3 standard tomatoes sold in New York at $1 and $l.lO- per dozen, but last December there were sales at 65 and 75 cents. The decline in prices was hard on the packers. .

~ DELAWARE hag just inaugurated a * governor. who chn neLt\he‘r read nor write. For the drst time in the history of that state there was no inaugural _address, and this set the people to in- ~ quiring. Joshua Marvil was the republican candidate’ last fall and was elected. He is a business man of good repute\ and worth at least $150,000, which 'he made| by hard work snd shrewd investments. Marvil can sign. his name and that is all. Knowing his weakness, he sequred the seryices of N..P, Smithers, a leading lawyer, ‘as _ secretary of state, and Smithers will ~ virtually be the governor. i ————————— ' THE Massgchusetts Board of Agriculture issues an annual catalogue of abandoned farmg for sale in the state. This year's catalogue shows that of _~the 400 farms listed in the catalogue of last year 150 haye been sold. Most of them have been purchased for farming purposes. The average price was $1.50 _an acre, and they averaged 100 acres “in extent. Mpi of ' the abandoned farms sold in New Hampshire and Vermont were purchased for use as summer homes. They will steadily grow - in value under the fostering care. of their new owners. Clover and fertilizers will soon mpke them productive. THE profits of the banking business in New York is enormous. President '~ Williams, ef the Chemical Natioual *bank, New York City, in his testimony ~ before the banki*xg and currency committee of congress recently stated that the capital of his bank was $300.000; the surplus amounted to $600,000; the undivided profits were more than $l,. 000,000; the depqisitsfreached $30,000,000, probably the largest in the world; “the dividends on the capital stock were ‘l5O per cent. annually, and the bank stock sold for 84} 800 per share of $lOO. Yet, in the face ‘of these fa{m,; Wall _ gtreet ‘is clamoring for more legisiation in the interest of the much oppressed banking interests. = . A BILL has been introduced in con- " gress by Mr. Hayes, of lowa, to es- ~ tablish insurance upon mail matter. It ~ provides that all prepaid matter of the fourth class shall be entitled to insur- ~ ance by the payment of the following sums: Fivedollarsin value, or fraction thereof, 10 cents; for additional value, up to and including $lO, 15 cents; to - and including 820, 20 cents; to and in- . oluding $3O, 30 cents, and to and ineluding $lOO, 40 conts, In considers tion of these payments, the.

A STRONG reaction has set in against the over-taxing of children’s minds with too many subjects at once. . The Brooklyn board of education has yoted to reduce the number of studies in the pablic schools, and to arrange the course 8o that only an hour of outside study shall be required. : {

A NEW USE has been found for the phonograph in teaching modern languages. ‘ For a dollar you can buy a phonographic cylinder which .pronounces test words and phrases in French, and enables you to revise and correct your pronunciation in private. But to take advantage of the opportunity you must own a phonograph, and that costs more than a dollar. The same means can be employed to leain the pronunciation of Spamsh, Italiap, German or any other spoken language.

ONE of the largest wool growers of LaPorte county receutly said to the edjtor of The Argus: . *‘l am an absolute free trader and don’t believe a high tariff was ever any benefit to me as a wool grower, but ifl would admit everything the republicans say about the benefits of a high tariff on wool, I would be the gainer by the change in the tariff law. In my purchase of clothing and wool goods this fall I have saved more 1n the price than 1 would have made on my wool at the higher price they claim.’” If this is true of the wool grower what must the effect be on those who do n6t produce wool? : 2 .

“THE BAROMETER OF TRADE.” The Iron Age does not give much comfort to the high tariff calamity howlers. It savs that thé* new year starts out with many eyidences of improvement. A year ago ‘‘the army of the unemployed’’ was a significent phrase, for many could not secure em. ployment at any wages. ‘Buat since then a great change has occurred.’ Not that there is yet full employment’ for all at the highest wages, but ‘‘a very great stride has been taken in the direction of a complete recovery from the depression.”” The Age notes as a significant fact ‘‘the expansion in the production of pig iron, which is now proceeding at a rate approximating 9,000,000 tons per annum, or but a little below the maximum output thus fur attained.” And it adds: *‘This being the basis of the. iron industry, which is -accepted universally as the barometer of general trade, the era of depression may be regarded as on the wane,”” So it seems that the new tariff has not ruined the pig :iron industry. The McKinley duty on pig iron was $6.72 per ton. The present duty is only $4 per ton, or over 40 pér cent less than the old rate.. And yet production is now going on at nearly the same rate that it'was when the maximum output was reached. *‘The barometer of general trade’’ indicates activity, at least, if not high profits, and it is to ‘be presumed that the profits are fair or there would not be so near an approach to the greatest activity ever known in this branch of production. People do not operate the blast furnaces at a loss or without a prospect of fair returns. ‘The state‘ment made by the Iron Ageé confirms the reports from the clothing houses, to the effect that the woolen mills have all the work they can do, notwithstanding the reduction ot more than one-half 1n the duties on woolen goods. [t means that the industries in general are alive, and that prosperity is in sight, in spite of the new tariff. The republicans themselyes will soon be compelled to cease charging the panic and the depression to the democratic party and its tariff. and once more admit that it was a Sherman law silver panic. —Chicago Herald. .

GOOD ROADS MOVEVMENT

The farmers’ institute 1n Jennings county has inaugurated a good roads movement which promises excellent results. First, the institute appointed a good roads committee consisting of one member from each township except Center, which had two, and named the chairman of the committee. The first meeting of the committee was attended by all the members and by a number of citizens, interested in the subject. It being ‘the sense of this meeting that the present laws afforded ample machinery, if rightly apolied, for the construction of good roads, the chairman was authorized to appoint a sub committee of five to formulate a plan for the construction of oné. or more good roads leading out of the county seat and to call a mass meeting of citizens to consider the plan The sub committee has not yet rveported, but it is evident that a good start has been made in the right direction. The people of Jackson county have also commenced the construction of a free gravel road under the act of March 3, 1893, The road is to be nearly five miles in length and the estimated cost is $5,081.60, which is to be diyided between two townships. The character of the general road -may be gathered from the following description: The road is graded so as lo make the roadway eighteen feet wide from the inside of the inner edge’' of gutters, raised to a crown of four inches in the center, culverts to be of socket tile; bridges, of which there are three, to be of good sound oak timber. - The road is to be graveled with White river gravel, placed'so that one cubic yard of gravel ghall make three lineal feet of road, gravel to be spread fourteen feet wide and twelve inches deep at the center. . ” Thess movements in two adjoining counties, the Indianapolis Journal says show that the people are wakiﬂz up to the necessity of better roads and are beginning to discover that the way to do things is to take hold and do them. ‘The best laws in the world will not build good roads without intelligent ‘action on the part of the people. The trouble in this state has not been so much in the laws as in the unsatisfactory manner of their exeeution. There has been money enough wasted in maintaining bad roads to have constructed good roads all over the state, The action of thp farmers’ institute of Jennings county should be emulated by other county institutes. % e i e bl t Election Notice, ~ The membvers of the Excelsior lodge No, 269, 1. 0. 0.

Ly Were Not In It, o - The Republicans of Noble county got nothing at the hands of the legislature. There were seyeral deserving candi dates for places from this county but they were not able to get onto the combination and consequently got left. —Ligonier Banner. £y Yes, and some of the boys think that if the right kind of a Senator from Noble had been there to assist them, things might have been different.— Kendallville [Sun. A hard hit at Representative Woodruff. ‘What’s the matter with Woodruff? It might have been different if there had been a republican senator we will acknowledge, but Noble ought to have been given at least one place anyhow. | 3

Appeal to the Tarmers,

EpITOR-BANNER: I wish to make a brief appeal to the farmer readers of your paper, especially to those 1n the western part of the county to attend their cominé institute held at Albion next Wednesday and Thursday. This is a popular and worthy educational movement for the benefit of the farmers. It is- an institation that has come to stay and the interests of every farmer§ demand that he attend and take part in them. 'The speakers assigned are the ablest in the state. Senator Mount is a practical and sueccessful farmer, and a most gifted speaker, as {s also Mrs. Meredith. The program sent out by the committee is full of errors and quite unsatisfactory, still we may be assured of an interesting and profitable time. Let eyery farmer and his family attend and take part and get the benefits which they offer. | J. WARREN MOORE.

o Great Generosity. - ‘A'real friend (?) of ours down east, no doubt hearing of our shortness of money, hassent us a proposition ‘‘on the dead,”’ of course, which if alk right, seems sufficient to make anyone belieye that better times are coming. He says, ‘*‘Send me $3OO and getin return $3.000 of fine, first-class. money that passes on sight.”” He says it's all straight and we cannot fail, if we “catch on.””’ He also assures us that 1t is no swindling game but that the purchaser. gets just what hé buys. But unless some of our delinquent, payafter harvest subscribers come to our rescue we will be short the requisite $3OO. Come a running, everybody, and furnish us the money to improve the “opportunity of a lifetime.”” —Kendallville Sun. | : e We have been favored with a similar proposition from the eastern philanthropist. but we are in the same boat with Bro. Conlogue—we are short the necessary $3OO.

A Vindictive Prisoner,

Last Monday two convicts named Connor and Blake were brought here by one of the guards of the prison at Michigan City to tesiify for the prosetation in the case of Charles Shirk, whic&‘ is at present occupying the attention of the Kosciusko circuit court. The convicts were contined in the jail here Monday night, at which place Shirk has been boarding for some time past. After the prisoners had retired for the night 1t is asserted that Shirk attempted to take their lives by saturatli}lg the cots of the convicts with gasoline, which he procured in some manner, and then touching a lighted matcﬁ; to the covers of the cots. His scheme was frustrated, however, and this fact was given in evidence in yesterday’s session of the trial of Shirk. By tEis act of vindictiveness Shirk will not help his case in the least, and indeed it will probably make matters all the worse for him. —Warsaw Indianian. Since the above was put in type the jury brought in a verdict finding Shirk guilty of burning Capt. North’s barn last April and fixed his punishment at seven years in the penitentiary. It is the general ppinion that he got no more than he deserved. .

Lhe effort which -was promulgated by the democrats of Indiana at Indianapolis last week for the organization of clubs throughout the state. is one of the most feasible steps toward practical politics that could have been taken., One of the hopeful features of modern working politics has been the introductlon of clubs and other like organizations for the purpose of diffusing knowledge on the subject of public policy or of current legislation. The objects of these agencies are eminently wolesome. They gather for informal co-operation men of public spirit and intelligence who sift the larger questions of current interest, colleet information bearing thereon, formulate measures. of legisiation and directly and indirectly exercise an important influence upon candidates for office and upon members of congress or of the state legislature. The result of such work is to establish a closer copnection between legislation and public opinion. Also as a means of diftusing information, these agencies perform an invaluable function; for they not only enable the masses to vote more intelligently, but also promote a quicker and more definite maturity of opinion, and so lessen the evils of uncertainty arising from prolopged vacillations of sentiment on questions of public policy. The club organization in Indiana should be pushed vigoronsly with a well conceived notion of what is to be accomplished.—Peru Sentinel. v Thousands of piéces of mail matter are sent to the dead letter office that ?igygs& ve been returned to the sender if a retu r;@gi‘t‘l ‘envelope had beg used.

b 3 r 1 LEGISLATIYE GRIST. INDIANA LAWMAKING M!LL IN FULL o OPERATION. (L About 300 Bills Already Introduced. - Taxation Measures a Leading Feature. Apportionment Legislation Receiving Considerable Attention—-Gossip. | [Special Correspondence.} - | Inpranaproris, Jan. 22.—The legislature has finally gotten down to work, -and it is possible to form an opinion as “to the character of its labors. Thus far there seems a lack of the usual disposition to flood both houses with bills. on trivial subjects. The body has been in session two weeks and only about 300 bills have been introduced. Ordinarily by this time the calendars of the two houses show 500 or 600. The tax law seems to be the most popular, product ,for the statesmen. ‘More bills have been introduced on this subject than on any other. None of them attack the vital features of the law amd most of them deal with very small details, such for instance’as putting the road tax on‘the second instead of the first installment. Three or four bills have been brought up to put greenbacks among the taxables, and it is probably safe to say that this will be done. Some representatives say that the most thorough bill on the subject is one introduced by Representative Remey of Columbus, and it is the -general understanding that he was assisted in preparing the bill by Congressman Cooper, the author of the bill which passed congress recently enabling the states to tax greenbacks. Another subject of taxation which is likely to receive considerable attention is the proposition to exempt mortgaged real estate from taxation. Representative Newhouse has such a bill pending in the house. It avoids cutting off railroad taxation by providing that the exemption shall only apply where the indebtedness is owned in thie state and provides for the taxation of such indebtedness in the county where the property lies. Dog laws are conspicuous by their absence and there is a great falling off in the quantity of .ditch and roadlaws. Before the session began there was’ not a little comment on the probable need of a fool killer to kill off a whole lot of unnecessary legislation which: it was thought would be brought forward. Members of both houses contend that no need for any such official has yet developed. Barring a disposition (always apparent at the beginning of a session) to waste valuable time in the discussion Lof trivial matters, both houses have | started off smoothly,” ;

. __***__ i This is the comment of a recently. defeated candidate for speaker: ‘lt is evidently the intention of Speaker Adams to make the cleanest possible record in the chair. I noted this first when I studied the makeup of his committees. On the committee on fees and salaries he has placed ‘men of the most unquestioned integrity. On the committee on natural resources, which will have to do with any natural gas legislation that may be proposed, he has placed excellent men, mostly from the gas belt. In fact, wherever there has been danger of the lobby getting in its work he has placed his strongest men on” guard. This is noticeable in the committee on corporations, at whose head he has placed Merritt of Lagrange. This committee will have some very important questions for regulating building associations to consider, and the state and national associations which have sprung up like mushrooms within the past two years will have a strong lobby to look after their interests. | =

“I notice this same disposition on the part of the speaker in little things. For years the joint riles have required that communications from the senate as to the passage of bills, etc., shall be read before the house, but the rule has invariably been violated. The messenger of the senate would invariably come up to the speaker’s desk, leave such bills as had been transmitted with him and take his receipt for them. The house knew snothing about it and the speaker could pocket any bills he might see fit. When the messenger first came at this session the speaker informed him that he must make his announcement to the whole house until that body might order it otherwise.”’ ; ,

__***.._._ ; The house and serfate have an apportionment bill before them. Both bills are the same and are the product of much thought, for this is the most interesting subject in the session.” Senaator Wishard and Mr. Newhouse, who head the legislative apportionment committees of their respective branches, introduced them. There are a number of particulars in which all the Republicans do not agree. They have held one or two conferences and are endeavoring to harmonize their differences. When this is accomplished it is likely that the bill will be submitted to a joint caucus for approval before an ‘effort is made to pass them. : v ___***.._. Neither of the congressional apportionment committees have progressed very far in this work. About 20 -different. bills have been submitted to the echairmen of these committees, but none of them seem to be entirely satisfactory. This question is certainly going to be one of the most difficult the general assembly will have to deal with. Not only are all the newly elected congressfnen and their friends vitally interested in the matter, but there are a'dozen or two aspiring statesmen in thelegislature who are lying awake o’ nights trying to figure out® schemes by which each of them can have a district carved out that would enable him to go to congress in 1896. ; { __***__. ! The *‘third house’’ has not yet gotten in shape for action. The paid lobbyists for the various corporations have not ps yet made themselves conspicuous. The railroads have a man employed in each house to keep them posted upon all legislation affecting their interests that may be introduvced.. A few of the building association men have turned up just to get acquainted with the members and. learn the ropes. ‘'The most persistent lobbyists of the session, the superintendents of the various state institutions, have. not yet 'afpeare‘d to make their wants known. It has been the habit of past legislatures not to start the general appropriation : bill through the house until after the middle of the session. It is the intengf of the ways and means ‘committee th ;;xe&t:a_tp,sﬂt the general Ww’ig@n bill in shape as early ag o L ik o hanges ey s iy B o soumide: Pty No ﬂ’ﬁ.f}‘ the senath m@g‘ keener

to explain that he had been excused by the chairman of the Republican caucus from voting with the caucus on the question of purchasing statutes, and that therefore the statement of a morning paper that he had voted in the caucus ‘'was incorrect. - . ; ~ Senator Kern heaved a mighty sigh as he arose. ‘““Now that the public has been relieved of a terrible strain,’’ he remarked sarcastically, *“I hope the business of the senate may proceed.” : _***..__ i ‘‘Harry’’ Adams, general manager of the famous Baldheaded Glee club and all-round joker :and story teller, happened to see ‘‘Jim’’ Mclntosh, the representative from Fayette and Wayne, standing near -the:Denison House elgvator the other. day with his hat off. Mecllntosh is comparatively youthful, but was born bald and declares he has been that way ever since. Adams did not know him personally, but knew who he was. - : ‘“Young man, I want to see you,’’ he remarked solemnly, and seizinghfiq‘ln; tosh by the arm, he led him through the crowd to a quiet nook back of the office. The wictim was mystified, but followed submissively. , “Now sing!” said Adams. ‘“Go ‘Ta, ta, ta,”’’ and he ran the scale. ~ “Ta, ta, ta?”’ went Mclntosh, by this time thoroughly astonished. : “You’ll do,” said Adams. ‘‘Henceforth you are a member of the Baldheaded Glee club,’” and the initiation was over. o — % ; Mr. Stutesman, one of the bright young members of the house, also came to grief while arising to a question of privilege. His resolution to increase the number of revised statutes to be purchased from 8 . to 24 had just been defeated, much to his disgust, and he rose to a question a personal privilege and ironically demanded that one of the ‘books be placed upon his desk. “Out of order!” shouted the speaker. “Some of us have personal privileges and some of us have personal grievanoces.”” And the business of the house proceeded. o ‘ = __***._ A lot of time was spent by the house during the past week in squabbles over what should be the proper number and compensation of house employes. It was a regular thing for the house to wrangle an hour or so on this subject every morning, and the week ended with no definite conclusion arrived at. ‘The matter had finally to go before a joint caucus. ; :

The majority of the senate is accused of having a ‘‘steering committee.”” .The Democrats are not sure as to who compose it but they feel very 'certain that “Czar” Wishard is at its head. They also opine that Senators Crumpacker, Newby and Haggard have more or less to do-with‘it. The senate caucus has no regular steering committee, say these senators, but there has been a disposition on the part 6f other members to rather leave the direction of affairs to these four gentlemen, and they have not been at all slow in assuming the burdens of leadership. : ; The suggestion has already been made that such a committee be selected for the house, consisting of seven members. It will never materialize, however, for nearly every member of the house majority would think that he ought to be on the committee. ; S e : The assertion that the County Officers’ association has levied a 1 per cent assessment on the incomes of its members, the fund to be used in carrying to success-the desirgs of the county officers in the matter of a fee and salary law, is the subject of considerable gossip. The purpose of the assessment is alleged to be for legitimate expenses (printing, postage, hotel bills for officers of the association, etc.), but since it has been figured out that response to the call for 1 per cent of salaries would raise a sum almost equal %o $12,000 there is a strong suspicion that some of the fund is to be used in influencing members if it can be done. Considerable indignation . has been expressed by some members on account of the alleged purpose to control legislation by this means, and it is even asserted that county officers will fare better if they withdraw lobbyists and allow the members to handle unhampered the proposed new law. : ! % ._***__ i

The first distinctly partisan bill introduced thus far, unless the legislative apportionment can be called a partisan measure, is the bill of Dr. Porter changing the time of election of county superintendents from June to August. At present the majority of township trustees of the state are Democrats and should the election of county superintendents occur at the usual time, the majority of these will be Democrats, but in August the present trustees will be sncceeded by the newly elected ones, an overwhelming majority of whom are Republicans. Hence, there is not a little politics in the effort to postpone the election of superintendents. i { _***._ : Indiana has had as yet no primary election law, but one was introduced into the house last week by Mr.‘Van Arsdel. A bill -that would properly regulate political primaries and prevent fraud there would be a step in the purification of politics second only to the Australian ballot law, for there it is that most of the trickery work in politics is done. Mr. Van Arsdel’s bill covers only the primaries for the election of delegates, but if the subject is. taken up at all and enacted into law it will probably cover nominating conventions as well. At present the only preventive of fraud in primaries and conventions is the fear that the victims may bolt the party and thus weaken it. Unxo. How’s This. : W. A.
