The legislature1 of 1883 done more than twice as mueli as either the legislature of 1879 or 1881 at their regular session. __________ rroSIBiYlos is a fallacy ami a frautl— st.to f ourierJRep. J Would not the same statement apply to the Republican party, the advo- , rate of Prohibition ? Ax the recent spring election in most of the cities of New York, the Democrats swept m crything. The lie-publicans are very much demoralized. ■ _ ■ The train]!, now so common in all parts of our country was an unknown article in this country 25 years ago. lie is the legitimate offspring of “Pror tection.” _ The fluid extract of Hcpublieanism was executed at the Washington jail about a year ago. Since that time the grand old party has had a pretty tough time of it. The evils of taxation are mimimized when it has lost influence on the cost of production; its evils increase in pro|M>sition as it increases the costs of production._ Ex-Senator Dorsey, it is generally admitted, carried Indiana, and the Chieago Times thinks it would be ■ strange if he should fail to carry a Washington .Jury. Lieutenant-Gov. Hanna, by his refusal to sign the appropriation bill, advised no doubt by the Governor, is responsible for the failure ol' ■ the bill to bts-omc a law. " - A current item says Harvard luft) a professor of boxing thirty years ago. We have known cony try schools that have had very accomplished instructors in that art at a much later period. We would hardly venture to pronounce tl*> late General Assembly of Indiana w model Legislature, hut as rompared with that of 1881 it stands pre-eminent for wisdom, honesty and discretion. _ ' The Democrats of Indian*! are not yet urging forward any one for the nomination of Governor^ hut there is plenty of good timber in the Democratic ranks which will manifest itself in due time. Whenever you pay ten cents for a pound of rice, you pay five of it to the protectionist, and the other five for the actual worth of it, which is all the whole pound would cost were it not or protection. * The repeal of the two-ccnt stamping of hank checks takes effect July 1, 1883. The tax on bank capita! and deposits is removed at once. The banks have been relieved of a million a month in taxes. „ -A At Indiana|M>lis, last week, the Ep, iseopal* Diocesan Convention elected Lev. Isaac L. Nicholson, S. T. D., llisliop of Indiana. He is at present Hector of St. Mark's church, Philadell»hia, is 42 years of age, married ami lias two children. Very few well-informed Hcpublj- • an politicians undertake to coueeal the opinion that a disastrous defeat defeat aWaij^S their party in 1884. Tiicj* see tlio mind writing on the wall, and many of them are preparing for a change of pasture. It is reported that Beu. Harrison and Major Calkins will both ask the next Itepubliean State convention for the nomination of Governor. Some of our Itepubliean exchanges who have not read the State Constitution lately, think Albert G. Porter will re- -• reive the nomination.

A significant sigu of the times in tl»c ret tint to the Democratic fold of a goodly numlicr of former Democrats who joined the Republican party in 1835-5(1 on account of the slavery question. xfiesc men l'ealizc that the Republican party has titled its mis^sion and that the welfare of the country requires a change. According to'Baltimore papers, as matters now stand, the Delaware and Maryland peach crop promises to be an unusually big one. Possibly all c' may yet be nipped in the bud. The trying time, in the Delaware region, is from about the 20th of March to the 20th of April. During that month the trees arc iii blossom; and if a hard frost occurs, after tlic buds begin to open, it kills off the expected crop, in its .very germ. ■;r Never was there a time when Democrats should circulate their papers , more extensively than at present. The v tariff fraud U receiving a complete ventilation, and every workingman should become thoroughly acquaint/*] with so important an issue—one upon which deiiends his own prosperity— and then there woftld be no doubt but Democracy would win the next olec- - lion lq- such a majority as no iKditlcal ^ party lias ever met with.

The prospects uow aftethat we M ill be without the customary acts of the last general assembly, them being no appropriation to pay for their issuance. If such is the ease we will endeavor to secure ami publish from time to time such acts as are of general interest. The old second eougressioual district of Indiana furnished more soldiers for the Union armies during the civil war than any other section of country in the north with the same imputation. —Martin County Tribune. And the old second M as at the time of enlistment of tlm soldiers, lias so remained, ami is to-day reliably Democratic.—l Ruckport Sentinel. All of the State officials of Minnesota, together u*ith hej* State Senators and Legislators, have signed and forwarded a tetter to Gen. Grant, thanking hint for the efforts put forth by himself iu behalf of- that groatly nronged man, Gen. Fit* John Porter. This letter will lie a bitter pill for the crafty and erratic* Logan.

Tire Cwir has ordered 900,000 pies for his coronation dinner. The banqueting table will be about eleven miles in length. The brass bawl will number 1,000 instruments, and when the National air is sung, 8,000 trained voices will join in the chorus. So far the programme does not provide for any Nihilistic performance. The forty-seventh congress befor adjourning passed a masquerade taritt bill. It increases instead of decreasing the duty on many of the necessary articles and takes the revenue off bank checks and the like. The people will not be satisfied with it and we are glad to sec that the Democrat members voted almost solidly ^gainst it. The new road law, adopted by the Legislature, abolishes the office ol lload Superintendent. The law is similar to the old one, the Township Trustees having control of the funds, and the work being done under the supervisor system. The new law has taken effect, and all of the lload Snperintindents are now out of a job. It is said that Samuel J. Tilden. ex-President of the United States, proposes giving to the city of New York the magnificent new mansion just completed in Gramercy Park, togethei with all its-valuable works of art and its rare and costly books. The library contains the finest private collection of books in New York, if not in the country. _ Meetings have beCTi held in various parts of the country by laboring men, l>y boards of trade, by men who an op{H>sed to monopoly generally, and all universally descry the present tarit! laws and demand their repeal. Never ' have the people become so enlightened iu so short a time upon a question which directly concerns their temporal. welfare._ Now, here is a good chance for that class ofindividuals who are constantly soaring into the iiflinite and diving in- ! to the unfathomable: An astronomi- ! eally inclined lawyer of Pesth has bequeathed |4(X) tothe Hungarian Academy of Sciences, to be offered as a prize for the best solution of the question how the inhabitants of the earth may be enabled to communicate with those of the moon. The operatives in the manfacturing. industries in this country pay an average of 25 per cent, of their wages to sustain the ‘‘protection” of the very manfhetnrers who hire them and who pay them less than a dollar a day for their services. In their case the American dollar is debased to the amount of 25 cents, and for every dollar they spend in the support ol their families they receive but 75 cents in value. __ The Wigganscs and other weather cranks who predict gales and perilous happenings for s}>eciflc dates, one after anpther ruin their reputations; but had it occurred to them to simply foretell for the opening mouths of 1883 a long stretch of disagreeable fickle weather, changing constantly and quickly between mild and cold, sunshine and\snow, and always aiming to catch people unawares, and grapple them by the\ibroat and lungs, they would hare’found their prophecies verified day after day.

One of the best arts of the legislature was defeating the bill to endow the State University at Bloomington, with $000,000, the State to borrow the money and pay the Institute 5 percent, interest. This is just as it should be. All classes of our tax payers are heavily taxed to support our common school system, and if people desire to educate their children beyond the rommoa school branches, they ought to pay for it as they do other luxuries. Not one tax-payer in a thousandjvould send a son or a daughter to this institution if it were endowed in the sum named, and there is no fairness in <-ompeIling 99!) tax-payers to support an institution in which they have no interest. __ Thk editorial writer of llte Democrat needs a little modem schooling. His display of iguornnce in liis last effort is Remarkable. Evidently he does not read t lip new spapers, or it he docs, makes poor selections. No one who is posted will say that lannkin P. Milligan is a llepnblican or that lie whb supported by Republicans at the last election. We would advise him to read a little mom and become better posted before lie rushes into print agaiti.—[Press. Shame on such miserable dodging. The ‘■editorial writer” on the l'rcas having abandoned the ease on its merits geeks to escape through techr iiieiititi.es. Of course we kuow of no suck a man as “Jjamkiu” P. Milligan. The Christian name of that bundle of iniquity is Lainbdin and not Lambkin as our compositor put it, or Lanikin as the Press has it. Now stand to the mark, Mr. Press man, so that wo oan hand you one above the belt. Do you menu to deny that Lainbdin P. MilBgan was nominated and supported By tlie Republicans of Huntington aud Wells counties for State Senator, at tl»e last election ? Speak light out in meeting; an open confession is good for the soul.

. ; ; ........ No doubt people generally o ho are compelled lotruwl overour roads will rejoice at the return to the old supervisor system. The bill as originally introduced in the Senate, was amend* ed some before its passage so that we are not as vet informed definitely as to one or two of its provisos, but it is substantially the same as the system of road' supervisors which prevailed up to a year ago. The supervisor system, of course, has its faults but it is so far superior to the system to which we have been subject for the past year that there eau hardly be a comparison. We have not seen a copy of the bill as passed but we understand that according to its provisions, supervisors will be elected, first, at the April election 1884 and that they will be appointed immediately by the Township Trustees to serve from date ot‘ appointment until that time.

Drnixu the last political campaign John C. Blanchard, a lumber dealer -f Michigan, made speeches, and in the course of them he was honest enough to speak as follows. The workingman should cut it out for reference. Mr. Bhtuehard said: I am high tariff on lumber, but low tariff on s^lt, copper, iron, wool, cotton, leather, glass, etc. 1 will tell you why. I own timber lauds and sell stumpage: ties ides, I operate largely myself, and this tariff puts money in my pocket, t get $2 tier 1,000 more for inv stumpage, and |2 per 1,000 more'for my lioards. 1 have just sold 5.000,000 of lumber foe $15.50 per 1,000 mill-rnu; a pretty good prim. [Voices “that’sso; that's so."] Well I think so, too. But tor the tariff I should not have got so nueh by $2 a thousand. Now, $2 a housa nd on 5,000,000 is just $10,000. I’hat is the difference to me, in one operation, between high tariff and • rec lumber. I am high tariff- on .umber, I am. This blessed tariff taxation, they tell ns, is all for the lienetit of the American laborer. What do you suppose. I did with the ?10,000 ? .Divided it among my workmen ? Not a bit of it. I put'it right into this one calf-skin wallet, I did. Of all inv workmen, I am the only protected American laborer! Wages lepeiid on supply aud demand, my friends, and not on tariff taxes. When you see two men after one boss wages ire low, but when you sec two bosses ifter one man wages are high; ami hat is the whole of it—the theory, principle and practice. PERii.vrs more was expected of the (.Congress that has just adjourned thau any of its predecessors. A number of measures ttir which there was a positive emergency had been discussed bv the press until the people were familiar with them, and it was expected that they would be imssed. We refer particularly to the bankrupt law and the law regulating the paymem ■f (tensions. But those who expected action upon these and other important questions arc disapointed. The New \ ork Sun sums up the performances •if the Forty-seventh Coh&rcss as follows; We cannot say that the sec>nd session of the Forty-seventh Congress was much more creditable than the first. The last river and Harbor bill was not so large as the former one, lmtpt was passed by the incorrigible lnajority of the House in the face of a large unexpended l»alince left over from the appropriations of* last year. All tlie- appropriations >f this session have been characterized by the same reckless and squandering spirit which linally brought so many statesmen to grief last fall. Taxation has only been reduced to the extent of diminishing the internal revenue by about forty millions: but the burdensome aud eostly inaebiiie-ry for collecting it and the (Hilitieal and partisan efficacy of that machinery remain the same. The same number of officeholders will continue to draw their salaries and work for the good of the party; and tiiis is the whole story. The end of this Congress has left the country in as great a need of an honest and determined band of reformers in Congress as did the end of its first session. The newly elected members, when they assemble in Deccmlier, will find about as much work to lie done at though the angry wave that swept over the country- last fall had washed them into their seats before ever giving Secor Robeson and his associates another chance at the Treasury. Moreover, the fact must not be forgotten that, although they are secure iu their places for two years to come, the election of a new President will come around next year, and its result will depend in a great measure upon tlie wisdom which the new men may display in their first session.

To Pensioner*. The following has been issued by the Commissioner of 1'ensions, and approved by the Secretary of the Interior: ‘•The following regulations are prescribed tor the purjMMe of carrying into effect, as speedily as (Hisaiblc, the provisions of an act of Congress, approved March 3,1883, increasing to per mouth tlio pensions of those who lost a leg at or almvc the knee, or an arm at or above the elbow, and and of those who have been so disabled as to be incapacitated from performing any manual labor, but not so much as to require regular personal aid and attendance, and who are now receiving a pension at the rate of 1524 l>er month; pensions of those who have lost one hand or one foot, or who have been totally or permanently disabled in the same, or otherwise-so disabled as to render their incapacitv to perform manna) labor equivalent to the loss of if hand or foot, and now receiving *18 per inoulli. Inasmuch as said act has immediate effect upon such admit ted cases as Iiuyc been adj mlieated at *24 and *18 per month respectively, no formal application, by-the beneficiary is necessarv to lie 'made other than to forward to the Commissioner of Pensions the pension certificate accompanied by a letter, stating iu the handwriting of the pensioner, his present |M>stofficc address. As soon as possible after .the receipt of the pensiou certificate aforesaid, the Commissioner Will re-issue to him a hew certificate for the ucw rate, and wili forward the same to the proper (tension agent to Inscribe the name of such pensioner on the mil at the increased rate, and to make to the peusioner proper payment. In case of amputation, the certificate will be reissued without any further medical examination. The intervention of agent or attorney in such admitted cases as are affected by this act, being unnecessary, will not be recognised.

As Honest BftjraUicans View of tSe Senate Proceeding*. That _ very able and independent Republican Journal, the Inilinapolis News,, speakcs of the recent proceedings in tire Senate as follows: The session of last night in the senate, and of previous nights could Ire denounced in unmeasured terms and not be put too strongly. One seeks in vain in its repulsive length and breadth for any saving grace< It is not merely that legitimate mentis of op|M>'S)tioii have been exhausted, and 1 legitimate means of compulsion used f to their utmost extent, but disgraceful language, unseemly exhibitions aud the lower depths of public iudecieney— drunkenness have characterized tire time. .It is a foul disgrace to tire State of Indiana. The most august body in the state has so conducted itself that uuder any other circumstances it would Ire held at the Station house for misdemeanor. The responsibility for this rests directly upon the members themselves, and the public wjll dismiss them with the hearty, wish that it may never look upon their like again. Hut in » parliamentary sense, the responsibility rests more largely ujion the Republicans. Their opposition has been factions and illegitimate. After they have exhausted all tire rights of a minority under the law, all else they do is usurpation, and they have, been guilty of this; guilty of it, too, in tire interests of a lot of men who, to use the language of a Republican senator, were the “off semirings of the Republican party.’’ Revolutionary and unjustiiiable proceedings have characterized the course of the Republicans throughout, and iu a selfish sense they have robbed themselves of the contrast they might have afforded to the Dsmggnda. The latter have a dear majority, and as the majority, have a clear right to pass legitimate measures. This right Iras been resisted by the Republicans not merely legitimately but illegitimately—us illegitimately as Senator Ililligrass's attempt to make himself temporary chairman of the senate and put and carry a motion all at once to usurp the chair. The proceedings are an outrage upon a law making body and a law abiding state.
