.Twenty-five of 11mj thirty-eight States now have Democratic Governors. , Ttlr. Senatorial deadlocks lit Miclii7" {.'tin, Minnesota aud Nebraska continues. ' . . The sugar coop of Lotiisana very largely exceeds that of any previous year since the war. There are no definite signs at AVnsliingbm of an extra session, although the subject is pretty generally discussed there. ■ The State Senate decided Monday, by a vote of twenty-five to twenty three . that tlie coustitonal amendments were not properly before the Assembly. The makinjr of laws not ex period to 1r\ enforced is a mischievous prflVj tioe. No law that is not ftijly sustained by the sentiment of the people call lie enforced. -™ Mohae sentiment will restrain a social excess or suppress a social evil without tl»c intervention of law. Law Without moral sentiment is powerless to restrain or suppress any evil. IIebeafter, when a -thirsty soul goes into an Iowa saloon, he won't have to commit the sin of deceiving the temperance lit ,v maker by calling for "scn-f''->ni” lie'll just step up to the bar like a little man«v.d .-ay '-Gim-ine-glass-a-bcer. TniEREis a bill ]lending in the legislature to establish an asylum at Evansville, for (he care elf the incurably insane. This bill ought to pass by all means, as such an institution is sadly needed in this state, and there is no better place to locate it than Evansville. tlfirOiiTs from ail sections indicate must strongly that the business of the ‘ country is itf ;i beltby and prosperous condition. AVhenJuieb able financiers as Yandkhiult and Goued are engaged like Turks at war in building hew railroads, there is little occasion to apprehend danger of a panic. So eon Chase, of Maine, gives up in despair. “The greenback party,” he says, “lias clasped hands with boui - llon Democracy in the northVpd with 'll if. lleSVcn -41aty bilfThow the Legislature. if passed, te.ill red nr* the county ofiiters* salaries as f d’.ua «? clerk. 40 per <\>0t.: auditor, 50 per ct.; 00 per cent.: mordmr, 45 per , cent.. The treasurer, however, is to >„y»fllowed a tR>r rent' on tax collections, so that he really gets an increase, In the United States during the Vcfer 18S2 there were 730 murders, 101 legal executions, and about 60 lviiehings. Of the lynching.*, 25 were in the south, and (i in Colorado. Of the killings, 512 took place in the south, and 131 in New York, and of the legal executions, 53. or more than one-half, were ill Hie southern states. The poor man, who owns ands drives a dray horse worth #100, must pay taxes to city, couuty, State and the nation. A nabob monopolist like Vanderbilt, who owns #75,000,000, in intertest paying United States bonds, is not required to pay one cent of tax on the same for any pnrjRise, A1* tlie rich and oppresses outrage.

Let whisky and tobacco alouc.— everybody, we mean, but more especially members of Congress. Take the tax off matches; they are not a luxury but a necessity, and arc used by everybody. Give us free sugar and salt, and a chance to buy our clothing at about half what it now costs, and we can worry along without any reduction in the price of drinks. * No REAiricR ot The Democrat should fail to give the article headed “Tariff for Revenue” a thoughtful perusal. Therein the tariff'question is discussed '♦fKa manner that must pr«ve instructive to all who are capable of comprehending the meaning of language. It is among the best dissertations on that issue that have come under our observation. For this reason wo give it a place in our editoral columns. Presently we will certainly have enough transc ontinental railway lines to “meet the demands of trade.” The new “Sunset Route,” connecting New Orleans and San Fraeisco, is completed; the Atlantic and Pacific, running through Colorado and Northern Arizona, will lm. finished in April,and the work of construction on the Northern Pacific is being pushed as rapidly as possible, hoomtherc will he four grand trunk .lines extending from the Missisippl Valley to the Pacific. Sesatok IIekkuon has introduced a “Fee and Salary” Kill which provides Ibr the payment of all fees into flic County Treasury, and gives to Coputy C Jwks, Auditors, Treasurers and Sheriffs saJariesHregulated and governed by the jiopulation of Abe counties. The "Senator n*doubt honestly intends tlie measure as a matter of economy; but lie has made a mistake. The bill is impracticable, unfair,and its effect would be great*injustice to officials in the smaller counties ol the (State.

Under Article l? section 61 U.

While it may be argued that the visitation of this penalty ii]R>n all offenders who may provoke it, is not cruelty within the constHiitional sense and meaning, hut a merited stroke of justice, smiting the jierpotratof with, a suddeit and everlasting hlowt still we maintain that giving to lHitgmige its ordinary import, the thrin unusual, could not be mistaken! Tlie la O' ttf this country, together with its history would leave us tenable grounds for doubts as to the true and proper definition of the term. We would not lie understood as espousing the cause of that hdl-born, God-forsaken class of criminal hyenas who commit-the deed this bill proposes to punish. On the contrary, human ingenuity could not invent a torture so severe that our individual conscience would not indorse it. Hut hero is a provision in tho organic law of the State prohibiting certain kinds of legislation, and dll onr tribunals of justice that administer the law, are bound by the sanctity of an oath to respect and siip{M>rt it< That they will discharge their obligations by promptly and fearlessly striking down every supposed law which conflicts with- it, we have one evidence, Again the enactment of this ; MfcKstf fit presupposes the repent of the present statute on such crh»‘**. • That being the case lire defendant could not 1m? denied the right of appeal to the highest tribunal in tin? State, nor that I tribunal refuse to pass Upon the eon- [ stitutiouality of the law. If the decision l>e against the enforcement of the law, as it. doubtless wonhl be,- theif thojieople must be thrown back upon the provisions of the old statute with some experience and largely depleted purses. _________

There should not ho time lost in proposing; amendments to the Constitution providing for the, election of United States Senators l>y a direct j vo'te of the people. In Massachusetts a Senator has- just been ro-clOeted semiring part of his Votes as claimed by .a/forged telegram; In Michigan a bitter tight has been wrtged for months in which all of the corrupt practises known to modern politics have been practiot sle 'of (wSorasto paving ?,..p luxury of a dead-, tech in .iluslr I.-g'.slature oa the election of g.uiai'a'. 1'lie Legislature of Nebraska is balloting along without any “significant change,” and the deaf people are paying for the fun. Thu fact lias been satisfactorily demonstrated that those who go to the Legislature are as susceptible to corrupting influences as those who remain at home. Not only Unifis! States Senators, hut the President of the United States should l»e selected by a direct vote of the people. The pari of the ('oust i t u tion prov hi ing for the election of United States Senators awl Presidential electors has long si Ore become obsolete, and is no longer id force in .^)irit as designed by its original framers. Why not make the change ?— [Madison Herald. Every man and woman in the fruii$idf=St*to owes the newspapers a dept Offhank* for having brought about a muiet ion of letter postage to 2 cents. This reform is now practically accomplished. Both branches of Congress have authorized it—toe Senate on Saturday, 40 to 15-—and it only re'ipitins to fix a date ou which the new rate shall take elfeet. The 1 louse proposed January 1, next, while a Senate amendment suggests July 1. The latter day, being the first of a new fiscal year, would seem to be the more appropriate. The only ground oic which further postponement is urged is the importance of allowing the department ample time in which to work off its stock o! 3-cent stamps and stamped' envelopes.

.The Milwaukee hotel tire has caused an overhauling among hotels of other cities, and among the precautions taken, !he.tiriswold house, at Detroit, lias provided in every room, a box containing a stout rope, knotted at intervals, which is long enough to reach the grouftd, together with directions how to use it. This seems to speak for itself as al>out ns efficacious a lire escape* as could he devised, nud it has the tuer-1 it of cheapness, simplicity and applicability to every house. Hotels everywhere eoirid not do letter than to follow this example. At the same, time it is to he urged that permanent exits should l>e put in good order and incredited vigilance he taken. A n^joL.VBSs is said to have sprung up between Hilly Mehone and President Arthur, growing out of the alleged purpose of the latter to appoint the noted ex-guerilla chief Mosby ton federal judgeship in Virginia, Malioue and Mosby, though both tx-Con-federates, have an iaftensc hatred for one another. When Malionc heard that Arthur intended to bestow the high honor of a federal judgeship upon Mosby he remonstrated vigorously but apparently with little or no effect. It is even intimated that the President gave Mahoue to understand that, he did not propose to he dictated to in this matter.

Sncli an arrangement would be intinitely preferable to the dictatorship of little Mahonc. Tltfi glass-workers of Baltimore held ittl litdignatiou meeting last week to protPtfi rtgiiiil?t tlie importation of “pauper labor” from Kuropb hy the prOteettnl glass manufacturers, who prtdend that their sole object in going into bttsiness is to favor American labor. This thin pretense docs hot tleeeive the workingman any longer. The President of the* tiliiss-Bldwefs' Fits ion charges the proprietors with sending n false schedule of‘prices to Belgium for the purpose of deceiving the Belgian glass-workers, niul to get them to come over to their works. The average wages of skilled workmen iri Baltimore is only $240 a year. Yet the proteetioiiists outinuc to utter the falsehood that protection makes permanently high wage’s grid nmnent work. Hkttiu.K'ax newspapers at Indianapolis are talking loudly obont tlie Democrats seeking the spoils in their effort ^to take tlie appointing power out of the hands of the governor, in the case of tlie trustees of the benevolent institutions. That may he true lnit have those same civil service reformers reflected much on the list of appdiot incuts sent in by the governor? ifitvti tiiey observed tlie name of any Democrat in tlie list ? WAS the governor seeking for spoils ? It is a poor rule .that will not work both trays. If it is u ease of lighting for sjioils, tlie Democrats, being in tlie ascendency, should certainly have the first pick. If the ItcffttMirans are in earnest in the cry to keep the institutions out of polities, why did not fheir governor appoint a majority of democrats bn tlie board? Dad be done so the Brown bill would never have had an existence. It was the display of partisanship upon the, part of the governor which caused tlie retort from the party in thea.j "Used a more notable i xpressiou or one embodying more plain truth* h-t'sely stated than the following words OfAxdkkw JackSon : “11 is not in a sploiniitl gnTernm<-nt, supportevi by iKiwcrtnl monopolies oraristocratic establishments, that Ihepeuplo will flail happiness or tliicr liberties protected. I>wi in a plain system, voiil of pomp, proterting all an.I granting '-jv.n-s to none.” Monopoly rule and the oppression of Labor bv Capital. tlie tendency toward a “strong governnie»rt"so plainly indicated in much of our recent National | legislation, are subjects calculated to create tlie gravest apprehensions. That there is a fixed determination On the part of a certain class to establish a I moneyed aristocracy in this country, is a proposition that every close and can- , did observer of currant events will admit: That the tendency of tlie present eonditiori of tint pOrintry is towards the reduction of tlie laboring classes to a condition little less abject than African slavery, is a fact equally »s plain ami indisputable. In a government “of the people, for the people and by the people.” such as our Republic was intended to be and sjiould be, Labor must be the master; Capital, the servant. ‘*111 ♦he lain! to ha^'niiig ills a prey,* wealth rc uumlatCB ami meiytKcay.w And ill will fara.our land if the people do not, by the exercise of tficir elective franchise, arrest the decay of tlie natural liberties guaranteed to tliein in tlie organic law of the land,-by hurling from power all designing and corrupt men and filling their places with those who have the true interest of the country at heart. The disease is threatening; the remedy is simple and plain.

Indiana as a Wheat-Growing State. The ^stotte Bureau of Statistics has compiled front' the' last four decennial census reports sonfc fery interesting facts in regard to the growth t*f wheat in Indiana. In 1850 the wheat product was 6.80 bushels, per eapits; in’ I860 It was 12.50 bushels, in 1870,10.51 imsheis, and iu 1880 it had increased 40 28.75 per capita. Tims jt is seen that (he increase of this crop has greatly exceeded the growth of the (State in pofiithMiolv. The average yield jter acre in the same time lias increased alx»ut ]#f cent. At tlic ratio of increased yield in 20 years more, the average per acre will not 1m: less than 25 bushels. This is not merely possible, luit. probable—almost certain indeed, for our soil is not only linejv adapted to wheat growth, lmt the farming population is developing very rapidly in knowledge of scientific agriculture. Indiana now produces about one-tenth of the whole erop of the United States. Free of Cost. All persons Wishing to test the merits of a great remedy—one that will positively cure Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Asthma. Bronchitis, or any affection of the Throat and Clings—are requested to call at 8. A. White's Drug Store and. get a trial Inittle of I)r.

rnrnuumam Tariff ter fievenne:

{ Cin«!iuii«ti K*wf. < A lKim$Hber asks the moaning of K “taH ft' loF revenue only.” Perhaps no subjeei if;ss understood, for all the definitions tmd explanations aild much speaking and wTititlg Itlmut the tariff A tariff for revenue duly lit practical free trade. A purely protective tariff would so lay the duties as to prohibit the importation of all foreign coiunioiilitoJ which can lx* or are grown or manufactured itt this country. Ours has always becti ft ifliikH System, at otio time largely for Mrdiitte; WH tiefer, perhaps, absolutely noit*jirotCcfiVe. For the last quarter of a eeuturv it has been n largely protective tariff, with incidental revenue features. The contest ilow going on lies between the ideas of absolute free trade and nh®0lute protection, neither being hi till practicable. There are practically throe ideas now forming the shadowy basis of as many ill-deflnwPrlasses of adVdftftes, whose contention will rilti* niatdc MfityShtHlie into tariff for revenue. i'hcSe tfiree ideas are a strdiig tariff for protectin'?!; tVlth incidental revenue; a tarifl' for reveiKftt with incidental protection, and a tariff IMr revenue only—the latW not, in otif opinion, immediately prac^ealde, abtliough revision will undoubtedly Ite carrie<t to that point as to many articles, and near to it as to others. A tariff fdr revenue only is one which is laid solely for revenue, and not allowed to protect. England) for instance,,lias such tarifl’laid upon a few articles; us, for installed, upon tobacco, upon wliicli the large duty laid would 1h> protective if the govofiiment would permit thf raising of tobacco. Upon a tarifl' fitf feveiiue only; such articles as can not be raised in this country would form fit subjects ft»r taxation: Coffee and tea would encounter the cry of “a free breakfast table)” Khf theoretically would be proper subjects for a purclj- revenue tariff.. If the United States should levy a revenue tarifl'on sugar and forbid its production in the United States, where it Is only produced in small quantities, they would pursue precisely the policy follow.si by England as to tobacco, which eo'rtld bo produced hr small quantities in the United Kingdom and. under the present tariff, very profitably,- If it were net for the prohibition. Under our present system, which ijos between a tarifl' for revenue only and absolute prohibitive protection, we have a mixed system, which is for revenue in sonic features, and in others absolutely prohibitive of foreign products, said as to others, mixed. It also varies with demand and psjfces, as to some articles, being sometimes prohibitory protective, and at Others affording a revenue. This has been the ease for' iiutanoe, as to steel rails, which we're so much in demand and brought such prices that railways could not obtain ouauxh at home. Large quantities were importiVf, ,10tcompete ruinously with oach other, and in some eases closed up ami turned labor adrift. lit this ease a high tariff also raised a revenue through the inadequacy of tin; American supply and the necessity for Importation. These fluctuations, attenuate glat and overproduction mid closing of mills and .scarcity, are the' bane of high protection, Thus the same article, under this system, may at hire time vield a large revenueat otbeft notic, and lichee it causes instability in the revenue. The distinctive feature o¥ the present system and the grievous VHtiteh of it.is not the amount of roveiirte.it I raises for the government, but the' indirect bounty it compels the public to ‘ pay those who manufacture article* at home for home consumption. Some of them are. or have been. actually expiorted sfld ftfld lit foreign countries tor less that, they have been sold in the United fctafes. As to projected articles the general rule is the higher the tarifl'the less the revenue. Inasmuch as it protects, the tarifl'goes into the pockets of the pretes ted. Where it does raise a revenue, by so much it does not protect, the remedy lies in an approach bv I «ri.v and thorough revision as nearly as possible to a revenue standard hav.mgdirh reggrd for the principle that ! wise statesmanship wilLdeal courerVa- ! lively even with grttof evils, that the ; remedy may not be worse than tlie drstase.
