THE Maine state senate has adopted a resolution to make Lincoln’s birthday a holiday in that state. This vote did not cost the senate nor will 1t cost the state ot Maine a cent. Butnot $25 has yet been subscribed to erect a "monument in memory of Maine’s greatest citizen, James (. Blaine.

A Louisville paper says : A man has killed himself because he was not elected a member of the Indiana legislature. Several men eame very neuar being-killed because they were elected members of the Indiana legislature, and the people of the state would. be much better off if many more had becn killed before they were elected members of the Indiana legislature,

A sulr is to be immediately filed in Marion,county‘to test the constitutionality of the law passed by the late purtisan- Republican legislature changing the time for the election of county superintendents from Juhe till September. Whatever the decision in the lower court may be, the case will te carri ed to the supreme court, and that court will be asked to advance it so that it may be neajrdxand' decided by the last of May:

PRreSIDENT CLEVELAND recently announced that he has been converted on the subject of the income tax. He was at one time opposed toit, ‘‘ but now,’”’ he says, ‘¢ I belieye it to be a just and wise measure of taxation.” In this change of mind Mr. Cleveland merely repeats what has happened to » great multitude of men whose first, illfounded judgment on this subject has been reversed by further study and a clearer understanding of the matter.

A GREAT deal of the flour manufactured in our city roller mill goes to Havana, Cuba. A unique feature of the bakeries there is a co operstive bakery association, which furnishes bread to & co-operative restaurant, stock in both concerns being owned by practi cally the same people. =These men are mostly tobacco manufacturers and their employes, some eight hundred in number, who dine daily in the restaurant, and thus contribute unvaryingly to Its support, - - |

IN IHE United States, last year, 17,864,714 bunches of imported bananas were consumed. Most of this fruit comes from Cuba, Jamaica, Honduras and Columbia, and lits transportation is an important item in the business of several steamship éompanies. Many persons now living can remember when a banana was a great rarity in this country, but now the consumption of this nutritious fruit has become so large that it probably affects to some extent the demand for breadstuffs. Moßre blundering work of the late legislature has been discovered, the New Albany Ledger says. The new fee and salary law contains a provision that county auditors and treasurers shall first take in fees equal to their salaries before thie amount taken in is due them for their work. In the case of auditors and treasurers, unlike the offices of clerk, sheriff and recorder, fees are a small part of their income, and it was evidently through an error that the words auditor and treasurer crept into this section. But there are those -who believe it was done to affect the validity of the law. This affects. most seriously every auditor and treasurer in the state, and the section will require a judicial .construction at the earliest day possible, :

At THE M, E. conference at Logansport last Saturday resolutions were adopted, declaring prohibition to be the only right method to completely overthrow the liquor tratfic, and continuing, says: * 'lpat we approye the act of the last legislature in passing the bili styled the Nicholson bill, and will aid in its extension whenever and wherevever we can, and that we believe the above mentioned bill to be a

step in the right direction looking to complete prohibition; and that we particularly approve the section that proyvides for the privilege of voting by townships and wards to remonstrate against persons applying for license, and we will give our influence and help when such remonstrances are calculated to bring about a thorough canvass of the wards or townships with ‘said remonstrances.”’ =

INSURREQTIONS in Cuba ure no new thing. Following the independence of the Spanish colonies on the American continents between 1812 and 1825, Cuba and Porto Rico were sayed to Spain only after the most vigorous measures. The attempts of Gen. Lopez in 1848, 185 G and 1851 were the most formidable. Lopez had held the rank of major-general in the Spanish army and married a Cuban lady, He was captured in 1851, during his third attempt tofree Cuba and was executed. In 1868, Carlos Manuel Cespedes, a lawyer and planter,* began a reyolt which lusted ten years. It cost Spain $30,000,000 and 200,000 men, the latter ‘mostly by disease, to suppress that in_Surrection. The native Cubans have been tireless during the past seventy years in efforts to achieve independ. _ence, and the present outbreak is but _ another eyidence of the chronie dis-

'THE death of Mrs. J, W. French, of Michigan City, wife of Warden | French, was a surprise to the many warm friends of the'family, in all parts of the state. Mrs. French was a most estimable and cultured woman, a kind and loving wife and her loss will fall heavily upon her devoted husband. O ——————————— TR S TeE United States supreme court ‘hbs decided that the law forbidding the payment of more than ten dollars to an agent or attorney for prosecuting a claim for a pension is constitutional and valid. The court holds that no man has a legal right to a pension, except as congress confers it upon. him, and;j no man has a legal right to interferein the matter of obtaining pensions for others. Congress may determine who shall have pensions, who shall apply for them, and what the fee of pension attorneys shall be, It is strange that anybody ever doubted this authority. But for this restriction exorbitant fees would be demanded and exacted by pension sharks—of decidedly elastic conscience. That's the very reason cocngress passed the act in question. Dollars to Doughnuts. - Senator McDonald .of THE LIGONIER BANNER, thinks LaGrange and Noble counties will n‘otg haye an opportunity to elect a senator and a representative jointly. He probably does not know any more about what the supreme court will do than other people, but there is a possibility that be may proye as good a guesser as any one else.— LaGrange Standard. We don’t think that it takes any guess to come to the conclusion that Noble and Whitley will rewain the joint senatorial district. When the best legal talent in the state, among them Hon. Smiley N. Chambers, Hon. L. P. Newby and others openly say that the republican gerrymauder 1s unconstitutional on account of having been passed at a time prohibited . by the constitution. Upopn a proposition so plain we don’t think there can be much doubt about what action the court would-take in the premises.

. The Prison Wardenships, The republican state appointing board finds it impossible to reach an agreement upon directors for the state prison south. Treasurer Scholz insists that John Nungent of Evansville, shall be appointed one of the directors. At least two of the members of the board are determined that Mr. Nungent shall not go on board. The attorney-general has discovered that it will not be possible to begin the litigation for the posession of the state prison north before May 1, as the court in LaPorte county does not convene until the last week in April. In the meantime, however, Charley Harley of Delphi, the republican wardenelect, made a formal demand for immediate posession of the northern Indiana prison, but was refused control by Warden French, who acted on the advice of his attorneys. Suit will be brought in the LaPorte -circuit court to test the constitutionality of the law. : : Dead Fish by Wholesale. 1t 18 probable that all the sunfish and black bass in Orr’s lake died during the winter, The ice is now out and the shore is lined with dead fish, and in places for rods square they lay in the edge of the water ‘by the thousands. Thestrench about the lake from these decaying fish is now almost unbearable. Thousands of dead frogs also line the shore. Great black bass ‘that will weigh from one to six pounds lay along the shore by the wagon load, and it would certainly seem that all the black bass in that lake must be dead. Itis a curious fact, however, that not a dead perch or bullhead 1s to be found, and but yery few rock bass are seen among the dead. What is still more curious is the fact that no black bass that will weigh much less than a pound are to be found, and no sunfish minnows are among the dead. -Whether the minnows have escaped or whether they have not yet floated ashore “is a question. 1t is supposed the thick and long continued ice of the winter shut out the air and killed the fish, but the perch. and rock bass have been as plentiful as the sunfish and how is it that they too .are not dead?. It is a matter worth investigating. — LaPorte Argus.

Political Chaos in Washington. The party division of the government of the United States is now peculiar. The executive is democratic, the house of representatiyes is republican, and no party has a majority in the senate. For two yeurs to come neither party can be held responsible for any effective legislation. = The senate has a republican plurality, but the populists hold the balance of power, which they can transfer if they choose sometimes to the republican and sometimes to the democratic side. It is feared that in order to win the populist strength both the great parties may compromise themselves on financial questions. The house has 243 Republicans, a number sufficient to pass bills over the president’s veto. But even with the aid of the populists this cannot be done in the senate, and so the country will be safe from any reactionary tariff legislation for two years, and from all partisan measures. Of the republican members of the house 142 are new and mostly unknown and obscure men. Many of them were nominated in democratic districts without any idea that they would be elected, Prudent republican leaders are therefore naturally anxious as to the character of campaign material such a congress will manufacture. The republican majority is 80 large that it will probably be uncontrollable. It may be that a single session will serve to clear the democratic skies of the prevailing clouds and make the winter of democratic discontent a glorious summer, just as the republican legislature has done 1n Indiana. - : : : Notice, - : Having purchased the blacksmith shop and outfit of A.

. THE NICHOLSON LAW. Some Constructions of the Law by an Exe Supreme Judge., So many people are inquiring about the provisions of the Nicholson temperance law and the various constructions to be placed upon the measure that Judge Byron K. Elliott, the ablest lawyer in Indiana, was recently interviewed upon the subject. He was asked: i = **Under the Nicholson bill can a saloonkeeper carry on any other businessin the room where he is at bar?’’ ‘‘Section 2of the act is very obscure,’’ was the reply. It is difficult to say just what it means. It starts out forbidding the sale of other things than intoxicating liquors in a room, but it proyides that nothing in the provisions of this act shall be construed to forbid the sale of cigars and ' tobaccos in such places of business. It also provides that if the applicant for a license desires to carry any other or different business he shall state, the same in his application for license and the same may be granted or refused by the board of commissioners. S

“‘The rule is that penal statutes are to be strictly construed in the matter, and [ am inclined to think. although 1 have some doubt upon the question, that a party may be licensed to carry on other business in connection with the sale of intoxicating liquors.. But that matter is left to the discretion of the commissioners.. The author of gection 2 does not seem to have had a very clear idea of what he intended to accomplish, ‘and 1t will take a judicial construction to settle the meaning of the section.” DRUGGISTS' RIGHTS. _ “*Does the United States goyernment by collecting revenue from druggists for selling whisky between quart and five gallon quantities thereby extend to such druggists the right to sell beyond thé possibility of state interference?”’ : “*No. The state may regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors. The law recognizing the business of selling intoxicating liquors is one requiring legislation by the state, and the police power of the state is broad enough to authorize it to reguiate the sale within its own borders and, in my judgment, to absolutely prohibit the sale, should the legislature deem absolate prohibition required by the best interssts of the people of the state.” . “Will one prescription from a reputable physician in the hands of the druggist only answer for the sale of spirits in less quantities than a quart to one person a single time, or will the one prescription serve the druggist for many cases and for an indefinite period?”’ ' *‘No; the statute requiresa prescription for each sale. The law can notibe evaded, as I believe, by taking out a perpetual prescription from any doctor in the state.”’ -

: " Will Control the Whole Thing. - On Tuesday of this week, Shenff Stoner sold all the personal property of the Wawasee Club at what is known as Cedar Beach on an order of sale from .the circuit court. The property consisted ot all the furniture, beds and bedding, kitchen fixtures and in short eyerytning connected with the house. The property was sold to Col. Eli Lilly, of Indianapolis. The real estate will follow within a short. time. The sale included all fixtures, carpets. and eyerything connected with a summer hotel, Col. Lilly has held a mortgage on the property ever since the first club house burned down, a few years ago, he furnishing the money to rebuild the house and refurnish it.— Warsaw Indianian. :

Methods of Slaughtering Animals for Food. In the March number of the American Journal of Medical Science there is a curious and interesting statement as to the comparative advantages of the Hebrew and the modern methods of Killing animals for food. It is based on thé inquiry made for the Russian government by Dr. Dembo of St. Petersburg. His report, . giving the results of an investigation begun in 1891, was published last winter, and its conclusions have since been verified at Berlin by Dr. Krueger in the laboratory, and by Mr. Hoffman, director of the municipal slaughter houses. The Hebrew method is to separate the carotid arteries and jugular veins, thus withdrawing as much blood as possible. Most of the modern systems being by knocking the animal down. or driving a spike into the skull, although sometimes the animal is-shot in the head. When these latter methods are used, vasomoter paralysis tends to retain the blood in the dilated vessels. Now 1t is found as a matter of fact that decomposition begins sooner in the bodies of animals thus killed than [in those treated in the Hebrew way, and meat keeps better if the animal has been so killed as to withdraw the blood as promptly and completely as possible. : The chief objection made to the He brew method is that it is cruel, but Dr. Dembo points out that the cutting off of the supply of blood from the brain must produce almost instantaneous umntonsciousness. The period is put at from three to five seconds, and it is considered doubtful whether the animal feels pain for halt that time. As againgt this it is urged that,even if an ox is knocked down at the first blow, which is not the rule, it does net follow that he is unconscious because moter paralysis has been caused. Circulation and respiration may proceed, and it is not impossible that consciousness remains even when the process of flaying’ has begun. =~ = .As a result of the study of the subject, the Hebrew plan has been adopted in the municipal slaughter-house at Berlin (said to be the most perfect in the world), and it is approyed 1n a report signed by fifty university professors, & hundred veterinary surgeons and a large number of master butchers.

It Will Not Stand. The congressional and legislative apportionment bilis became laws. This congressional district is unchanged but LaGrange is hitched dn to Noble county for the election of senator and one represertative. We judge Noble will be content to furnish one representative and allow La-l grange county to name the joint representative though she has the privi-: lege of voting on the matter. This is the first time in forty years La Grange county has not been entitled to a representative exclusively. To be deprived of this privilege is a bitter pill, but the population figures were against us. —LaGrange Standard. The Standard need lose- no sleep. The next representative will be elected from La Grange county as no one who has any standing as a‘ lawyer will maintain that the loss -of what the Standard complains 18 constitutional. When the bill was on its passage in the senate four republican senators openly declared that it would not stand the test and then admitted in private that it was only a piece of political buncomb. : -
