THE new fish law seems to raise even more excitement than 'the Nicholson bill. .It is being discussed pro and con on all sides. We give the bill in full in another part of the paper. :
It 15 proposed to furnish railway passengers in Frd;nce with a large card designating their destination. .The passenger may deposit this card on any’ seat 1o the railway car, and thus secure that seat for the trip, leaving some article on the seat to proclaim his preemption. | L
SPEAKING of the situation the Wall Street Daily News says there is a quiet confidence felt all around such as has not really existed since the B'ai'jng failure. The feeling is becoming general that we have finally experienced all the unfavorable results of past depression, and that now ‘it requires only confidence to put all the wheels in motion. This confidence has begun and when it grows stronger the paceé will become more rapid. qf [
~ A CONTROLLING interest in the Toledo Evening Bee, the only democratic paper in that city, has been purchased by T. A. Starr, of Goshen, and that gentleman has taken charge of the establishment, [The Bee ought to be a first-class newSpaper property and we feel that Mr: Starr will make it. a complafie succesy in all of its departments. He is a wide awake, progressive and liberal minded newspaper inan, a first-class printer and good business man. e : ‘
A BTATISTICIAN has been making some interesting calculations as to the possible population of the United States, and he comes to the conclusion that if all the states and territories were as densely 31popul‘a‘ted as the state of Rhode Island now is, the [Jnion would have 945,766,300 inhabitants. In other words; if the United States were peopled to their utmost sustaining capacity, they could take care of nearly two-thirds of the present population of the globe. The state .of Texas alone could sustain a?popufatiofi of 82,523,628—a greater number of inhabitants than the whole Union is expected to have in the yeaf 1900.
Tue domestic and export sales of sheep have for Some months been large beyond precedent. A well informed sheep breeder believes that this means simply that the %farmex‘s of this country are taking measures to get upon a
mutton-producing basis, and to this end are selling all inferior sheep and the wool breeds to make way for stocking up with thé mutton breeds. He says there will be as niany sheep required as ever for producing mutton. Tliis has been afout forty-five millions, and will not degrease; but will naturally tend to crease with the growth of the population. Many of our people have learned to prefer mutton to beef, and to like lamb better than veal, |
/Tur contest between the two eclaimants for the prison wardenship, J. W. French, the present incumbent, and Charles Harley who has been elected
by the board chosen under the law passed by thelate legislature is now on. The matter will be settled in the courts and the preliminary hearing will doubtless come before Judge Hubbard in the LaPorte circuit court. Some fine questions of constitutional law will be raised, the main points.to be passed’ upon being: First, Is the appointing power a coustitutional ‘prerogative'_ of the goyernor? Second, Can the legislature delegate the appointing power to a commission, of state officers? Third, If so, upon what class of state officers?
O~k of the disappointments of the late legislature tell to our friend Hon. Jonathan Crumpacker, of . LaPorte, who was a candidate for warden of the northern prison. It was through his efforts and his influence that the bill changing the prison management was passed. While he was- looking ‘after the interests of the bill the other fellows were setting up the pins to take the office. In the face of the protestations of all the party managers ‘that Crumpacker should be taken care of, he was turned down at the last moment for Charles Harley, a member of the state committee. John C. Goudy got in his work in fine style. We bad hoped to see Jont. elected if Warden French has to go, but the party machine has willed otherwise,
A STRIKING example of the peculiar methods that obtained in the late lamented legislature is to be found in the passage of the‘ Holler act relating to protection of fish. The bill on the final vote in the house was defeated by a vote of 53 to 24, bat through the earelessness’ and utter incompetency of the officers the bill with two others that had suffeied a like fate was sent tc the senate where they were put upon their passage. The Holler act was takpn up at once and passed while the others were delayed in committee long enough to discover the error. In the meantime the governor had signed the Holler act and good lawyers say it will have to stand as the courts have held that they cannot go bwdfi of the: enrolled bill. Talk about démoecratic incompetency. Stch things never bappened uader democratic mansgement of the legislatare. <
~ LocAL ELECTIONS will shortly be held in Obio, Illinois and other states. We shall greatly miss our guess if the result of these elections does not show a decided reaction in favor of the Democrats—not 8o much on account of anything that has been done by them, but rather on account of dissatisfaction with what has of late been done by the Republicans. :
TuE AssaurLT made on Farmer Miller near Littleton by a lot of bold, daring tramps; the attempted rape of a woman in LaPorte county by a burly member of that fraternity; the brutal treatment of & boy in the city of Elkhart by three hoboes— all within a week—point to the necessity, says the ‘South Bend Times, of resorting to more effectiye measures than yet employed .to rid the country of the tramp nuisance. The time has come %o handle these outlaws without gloves.. 7
THE agricultural department at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y., claims to have found .that butter and fat can be extracted from whey by running it through a separator. ‘The department now has in press a bulletin explaining the process. It is estimated that general adoption of the process would save to the agricultural interests of the state of New York alone nearly $1,000,000 a vear, or, to put it another way, that the entire expense of making cheese would be paid by the saving of what has heretofore been a waste product.
THE Deleware legislature, which can grant diyorce for ‘‘incompatibility of temper,’”’ has now forty-one divorce bills on its calendar, and when it is not balloting for United States senator, it can amuse itself by considering the evidence and hearing the arguments in these cases of matrimonial discord. There is a good deal of ‘‘incompatibility’’ among the republican members who have the majority on joint ballot, but cannot agree upon a senator, half of them being resolved to re-elect Higgins and the other half determined to stick to Addicks ‘‘until Vesuvius vomits snow-balls.”’ :
THE Indianapolis Telegraph 1s of the opinion that most of the important bills passed by the late general assembly will be contested in the courts on the ground of their alleged unconstitutionality. The Modre bill is clearly unconstitutional and cértain to be so declared as soon as a case can be made up before the courts. As to the constitutionality of the Nichoison act the general belief in legal circles seems to be that 1t will stand the test. There are a few Sections that may border closely on unconstitutionality, :but Indianapolis lawyers who have carefully examined the same giye but little encouragement to the idea that they will be set aside by the supreme court
* BEVERAL.of the senators are having a nice time explaining why they yoted for the bill introduced by Senator Vail of Goshen, wiping out water works boards in all cities of less than 14,000 population. Representative Stutesman of Peru declares that he did not know such a bill had passed. Senator Baker who represented Grant and Madison counties in the legislature, also declares that he did not know that boards in cities of less thanl4,ooo population had been abolished, while Senators Haggard of Lafayette and othersinsist that the bill was smuggled through without their knowledge. This will not do, gentlemen. The provisions of the bill were discussed upon the floor of the senate and the reasons given for its passage—to get rid of a' democratic engineet. at Goshen—were explained. This assured the solid support of the republican majority and all this excuse making and talk of not knowing what it meant is balderdash.
It APPEAR%afrom what Ex-Governor Warmoth, of Louisiana, says, that the decline in the value of sugar cane is due solely to the fact that the wicked Democrats are in power. The enormous overproduction of sugar in Europe has nothing to do with the matter at all. By parity of reasoning, the great decline'in wheat and cotton and the distressing decrease in value of iron ore and steel must also be due to the democratic supremacy. When one reflects that all these price phenomena are world-wide, one begins to have a realizing sense of the tremendous responsibility of the wicked Democrats. The whole commercial world “from here to Indy" is suffering because of the supremacy of the Democrats in the admmistration of the United States. In view of all this, can any sane man doubt that the highly patriotic thing for Mr. Cleveland and all other wicked Democrats in anthority to do is at once to resign and let the righteous Republicans restore prosperity to the world? —lndianapolis News (Ind.)

Another Stroke ot “Economy.” 1 The last republican ,legislature of unsavory memory banfled heavily on the economy dodge in making its appropriations. A deficit of from $5.000 up has already been noted, Now comes the following from an exchange: L ) ~ o “‘Owing to the failure of the legislalure to appropriate sufficient money to prepare accommodations for all students at the state normal school -at Terre Haute, the board of trustees has made new rules redistricting the attendance to the following: All students heretofore entered who have credits amounting to not less than one full term’s work on the ecourse: graduates of commission; high school!s of the state; persons holding one or more three years’ county license to teach in Indiana. No new students wiil be received in the coming term who are not bonafide residents of Indiana.””
What Constitutes an American,
Thoughtful patriots view with some concern the tendency of foreign born citizens to act as ‘‘Germdns,”” *lrishmen,’’ ete., rather than as simply American citizens. We recently saw a significant illustration, and at the same time a rebuke of this tendency. A prominent politician, Norwegian by birth, being urged to support the candidacy of a certain gentleman on the ground that they were both Norwegians, the senator replied: I was but 14 years old when I came to ‘America, and believe lam an American. 1 have run for office a good many times in Huston county, and always as a Republican, not as a Norwegian. I never asked a living man to vote for me because of nationalty. Norwegians . and Swedes, Irishmen and Germans and American born citizens as well, have always been my friends. lam an American citizen.” That is a platform of trne American citizenship in a nutshell: A foreign born American citizen who asks for political support on account of his nativity has no right to complain if he encounter opposition on the same ground. A birthpla-e in the United States does not make a- man an American; but he is the genuine American who, wherever born, is loyal to American institutions.—lndiana Baptist.
Important New School Laws,
The last legislature passed two school laws that are important. The first gives to school boards the power to make levies of taxes for all purposes. Heretofore the school board was obliged to petition the city council, and the council made the levy for the tuition, which is the fund from which teachers are paid. j : e Another law has been passed, and that is in regard to the enumeration of school children, and upon which the school fupd is apportioned, Heretofore this enumeration was to be taken between March 1 and May 1, giving two months to take it, while the new law requires the whole business to be done from the 10th day of April to-the 30th of April. Instead of enumerating the heads of families and the number of children, the enumerator has to enumerate the name of each child, age and gex, anl get the signature of the head of the household that it is correct; all transients (that is, persons under the age of twenty-one and oversix that are only temporarily in the city) cannot be enumerated under the new law. The taking of an enumeration under the mnew law 18 quite a complex piece of business, and it will require much greater expense to take vnder this law than under the old; but, owing to the;e being no 2mergency clause, 1t will not be taken under the new law this vear.
The New Fish Law
- We haye had several inquiries lately. about the new fish law passed by the late legislature. The one introduced by the writer so commends the law providing for the issuance ot search ‘warrants by justices of the peace as to allow a search for unlawful fishing ‘appliances, seins, nets,etc. Heretofore ‘this could not be done, The other law known as the Holler act is intended to protect fish during the spawning ‘ season this being the favorite time for ‘unskilled fisherman to visit- fish- beds and capture the females, destroying ‘countless numbers of fish spawn, which will not mature only by the care of the female. The law as pass- ‘ ed 13 as follows: SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the ‘ General Assembly of the state of Indi‘ana, that it shall be unlawful for -any one to take fish from the lakes of the state between the Ist day of April and [tbe 15th day of June, except it be for ‘the purpose of introducing the variety of fish into other Jakes or riyers. ~ SECTION 2. 'T'he State Commissioner ‘ of Fisheries shall enforce the provisions ‘of this act, and may appoint deputies, ‘and may for that purpose use any }money provided by the legislature for ‘his oftice. Any one violating any of ‘tbe provisions of this act shall, upon ‘conyiction be fined 1n any sum not less ‘than $lO nor more than $lOO, and up~on second conviction of the same- person, imprisonment may by added not exceeding sixty days. SECTION 3. Whereas an emergency exists for the immediate taking effect of this act, the same shall be in force and effect from and after its ‘passage. ~ Approved March 11,1895. The Indianapolis Journal speaking about the above law says the bill has become a law, though .the records show it was defeated. The bili is on file in the secretary’s office, and bears the signatures of President Nye, of the senate; Speaker Adams, of the house; and Governor Matthews, besides those of the secretary of the senate and clerk of the house. Deputy Secretary Wright says that the house journal has been consulted, and that the record showed that thig bill had been defeated by a vote of 16 ayes and 56 noes, Attorney-general Ketcham was requested to giye his views as to ’the yvalidity of the law. He said: ““The law is valid. The courts haye ‘held that they would not go int 6 the records to invalidate a law, and hence this statute cannot be attacked under such deeisions.”’ |
It will be noticed that an emergency clause goes with the biil and it is therefore now-in force and after next Monday it will be unlawful to take fish from the lakes in any way. . We are informed that the law will be enforced to the letter by the fish commisioner .who will appoint the deputies.as contemplated by the law. e Playing Cards.

McNagny’s Silver Views. ‘ A Washington special to the Baltimore Sun says: ‘‘Representative McNagny of Indiana, who is regarded as the best lawyer in the Indiana delegation in the Fifty-third congress, believes that the whole silver question will be eliminated from the tield of politics before the next two years expire, by an international agreement. He thinks the proposed monetary conference will be’held, and that a solution of the silver problem will be found in the apportionment of so much silver to each of the natiohs interested at a ratio to be determined by the gold holdings and resources of each, When this is done, Mr. McNagny says, the democratic party will once more sweep the country, and the people will discover the Fifty-third congress made no mistake in refusing to enact any general financial legislation.”’
May Not Be Understood
Concerning Section 2 of the new Nicholson law, the Indianapolis Journal apprehends there may be a difference of opinion as to the construction of the law and the courts may have to pass on the same. It says: "“‘This section does not interfere with the sale of cigars and tobacco in saloons or require any special license therefor, while it leaves it optional with county commissioners to grant or refuse permission to earry on any other business in the same room. It is explicit, however, that ‘no devices for amusement or music of any kind or character shall be. permitted in such room.’ Under these provisions the question may arise whether biiliard and pool tables are to be classed as a business or as devices for amusement. If the former they may by special license be permitted in connection with saloons, but if they are devices for amusement they cannot be. There is a chance here for some fine judicial hair splitting.'"
Destructive Confiagration.
Last Monday afternoon the fire fiend played sad havoc at the farm of John M. Judy, near Benton. Just after dmner time the roof of the old homestead was noticed on fire and a nearly successful effort was made to extinguish the flames, but the fire had gained too great a start and in a few minutes the house was doomed. The sparks soon set fire to the large barn, a strong wind blowing in that direction. From the barn the flames were carried to the new residence of Warren Judy near by and 1n a short time all of the buildings on the farm were on, fire- By hard work all of the contwts of Warren’s house were saved as well as the stock and farming implements in the barn. Some of the furniture was also saved from the first building to burn. The fire was so fierce and rapid that several hogs were suffocated in their pen near the barn, The loss will be considerable but the buildings were well-insured in the Elkhart Farmers’ Mutual. :
A Horrible Snicide,
‘The story of a ghastly suicide comes from LaGrange. l.ast Saturday night Cornelius Lamenyou, a wealthy farmer residing near that place came home intoxicated. He called his family into the reom having in the meantime procured a shot gun heavily loaded. He coolly informed his wife and children that he proposed to commite suicide ard threatened to kill any one who undertook to leavd the room or molest him in any way. Whereupon he seated himself; amid the protestations and tearful pleadings of the almost frantic family he deliberately took off the shoe and stocking from his right foot, placed the muzzle of the gun at his head and touchea the trigger with his toe, The charge tore away all of the upper portion of his head and the room was a most frightful sight to beheld. Blood and brains were scattered in every direction, the almost crazed womun and her children being coverd with blood. This was the second attempl upon his life by the unhappy man. : ' . The Old Fashioned Social, According to announcement the old fashioned social at the Presbyterian church was given last Monday . evening and we hardly think that anyone fortunate enough to be there will say that they did not get their moneys worth. The musical program was a revelation, while the display of old fashioned costumes was most interesting. The garrets, closets and trunks had been searched for relics of ‘“‘auld lang syne’ and many things were displayed that awakened memories of the years agone. It is indeed strange what odd things fashion’s fancy brought out in those days. Mrs. A. W. Lyon, Miss Libbie Dunning, Mrs. J. H. Green, Mrs. K. B. Scott, Miss Laura Dunning, Mrs. J. W. Draper, Miss Mmnnie King and others had costumes that represented from forvy to 100 years back. They were not made up for the occasion but were relics of the past. But the musical program was where the most interest was centered. It was opened by Hon.. E. B. Gerber who sang Annie Laurie. No one eyer accused Mr. Gerber of being asinger but he was asked to help out and he could not shirk a duty—he is not buiit that way. The most interesting feature however, was a song, Away Down the Swanee River sung by Mrs. A. W. Lyon, Mrs. K. B. Scott, Messrs. J. D. Casey and F. W. Zimmerman. Any one of these sweet singers could give a saw-filer points on discords, but they got through with the song in fine (?) shape. A song by Miss Alhe Woods in an inimitable style brought down the house. = Mrs. J. W. Draper sang a beautiful old ballad in fine style as did Mrs. J.-H. Green. These ladies can sing, but Mrs. F. W. Zimmerman can’t and she knows it, but. this did not keep her from putting in her part of the program in a way that awakened considerable merriment. The chorus which under the leader of Hon. E. B. Gerber closed the entertaimmment amid a round of applause was according to street parlance ‘‘out of sight.”” All enjoyed the entertainment hugely.

Might Be Tried Here. ‘ The Anderson Democrat says that a majority of the churches of that city will unite during the heated term of the coming summer and arrange some suitable place of worship in a g{OVe near the city; or, perhaps, in one of the new parks where union services can be held on Sundays, the ministers of the different churches to conduct the services alternately.

A Good Thing for Campbell,
The decision of the supreme court setting aside the fee and salary law was ‘‘a good thing’ to many of the county treasurers. Treasurer Campbell of Elkhart county last week received at the hands of the commissioners $2,604.01, the difference in his two years’ salary under the old fee and salary law and the law of 1891 which has been declared unconstitutional. While in.office Mr. Campbell drew his pay under the law of 1891 and since its unconstitutiorfality has been declared by the supreme court, the commis.sioners could do nothing more or less than allow Mr. Campbell’s bill for the difference, ’

Another Plan of Insurance.
President Ashley ot the Wabash railway has enyolved a new plan for pensioning and providing insurance for the employes of that system. The company is to set aside a certain sum of money each year to be invested as an insurance fund, the men to be paid according to length of service and godii record. Fiye years from now, in 1900. would give those entitled $l,OOO at death, For each five years’ service thereafter $l,OOO additional would be paid until the limit as prowided is reached. His plan also provides for a pension under w employes who become disabled or grow old in the seryice will receive sthted amounts. The plan 1s meeting with\favor among the men. .
Another Barn Burnefi?
The farm of Rufus Hartzler on the Hawpalch was the scene of a destructive fire last Sunday night. The fire was first\discovered in the summer house between the residence and barn and the wind blowing in the direction of the barn that building was soon ignited. By hard work the horses and cattle were gotten out 2s well as a wagon and buggy, but the rest of the contents as well as the fine new building was a total loss. The loss is theught to be at least $2,000 which is probably coyered by insurance in the Elkhart Farmers Mutual. The origin of the fire is ascribed to an overheated incubator that was in use in the summer house. - An oil lamp was allowed to burn ail the the time and it may have exploded. Ay firstit was thought that the fire was of incendiary origin.
An Interesting History.
~ President Andrews’ ‘‘History of the Last Quarter-Century in the United States’’ sustains the great popular interest of the first instalment. This chapter deals particularly with the Greeley campaign, with some very interesting pictures of the notable men who made the Tribune—one of them a group of Dana, Hicks and Curtis taken more than forty yearsago. Other epi-sodes-are the Geneva Arbitration, the Credit-Mobilier scandal, and the anarchy in Louisiana during the Pinchback troubles. Some of the historical drawings in this issue are striking reproductions of scenes that have not heretofore appeared in pictures. This history is proving of the most intense interest to those who are 'old enough to have lived through the scenes, and also to those who are so young that they have only heard of them as familiar facts without understanding them. The readers of Scribner’s Magazine are indeed fortunate.
