The New Harmony Register say s that nothing hut ex-Boss Heilman * can galvauize the Republican corpse in this district next year. Briug him out _ A writer in the Century aptly date*: “Fame follows ns to the grave, cratches a hasty epitaph on our tombtone, ami then hurries away for tire next man.” The West should get the CommissioucrofAgriculture. Mr. Cleveland will no doubt make a note of the fad that the West is the hub of this agricultural republic. It is stated that few Southern postoffices pay for' themselves. There will not be many candidates for the post-offices in that section, if this be ” the state of affairs. As Ohio man took a quarter of a pound of “Rough on Rats” in a fit cl druukon despondency, and survived „ it- It is hard to kill an Ohio man oi keep him out of office. The Boston Herald says: “Protection is taxation. If the protective tariff did not increase the price of merchandise, it would afford no protection. It is taxation of Americans.” “Greateditors and great pumpkins come front the country,” remarked an exchange. To which tho Burlington Free Press added: The bother of it i« it takes time to decide which they are. Rev. I)r. Bvrcuard has passed ■from the public prints, and his “Rum, Jtomanism and Rebellion” is a thing •of the past. Let us rejoice, and ask -for hue thing more: “Give St. John 41 rest.” , _ Tux report of State mine Inspoctor Wilpou gives these statistics of our State: Numbei of mines, 207; number of men employed 5,719, estimated •coal production in tons 2,260.000; esti-mated-capital in dollars, $1,750,000. <©xe part of Cleveland’s policy In "the next administration as outlined is !that-lie will appoint no man to his cabinet who does not stand squarely upon the tariff plank adopted at the Chicqgc convention. That is what Sbt .pecyfie want. Money* -power was never better illustrated than few days ago, when a false rqjmrf tf Jay Gould’s illness depressed the New York stock market to a degree that would have resulted in a financial panic had it not -been early contradicted. • Disputes coine up between honest •andffair-minded men very often. A n ■error causes the jar in the machinery of the world’s work. Such errors arc to be protSjhly rectified os they are made, and the satisfaction is mutual where reason is reciprocal. This 3s an it should be. The Vincennes Daily Sun celebrated its seventh birthday on the 4,tli iust. While other papers have died v6uug in journalistic life the Sun has become a permanent publication; and its genial editor, Mr. Royal E. Purcell, assures ns that it will shine till the coming of the miilenium.

The Indiana Swine Breeders’ Association passed the following resolution : Resolved,' “That we believe no absolute specific tar swine plague has been discovered, and we urge u|>on the has ruisqfg generally the ini|>ortance of giving close attention to sanitary regulations in the management of swine, instead of spending money for so-called cholera cores after the disease has madeits appearance.” Im the House of Keprescntalives Mirflolman, of Indiana, lias introduced a bill which provides that any person who shall give any of his property to be used, directly or indirectly, iu stcuringa rote for or appointment ’to any office under the government shall he punished bv a line not exceeding $500 and imprisonment not exceeding one year. Colonel Inoeiisoll expresses the opinion that ‘iT resident Cleveland will investigate the National edifice from the peak of the ridge pole to the floor of the cqal cellar. He will route the army of siuecures that iiave been holding the parlor floors and letting »et*utl workers roost in the attic.

Business embarrassments are not of ai frequent occurrence, says the Phildclphia Star, or of as great magnitude, generally, as a mouth ago., The tide is evidently changing, and a more healthy state of trade may be eoi fidentlv looked for. Business is not brisk now. It never is at this particular sea,son of the yeor. 'Wait till the spring trade opens, and then judge whether we are making progress out of our difficulties.

The Albany correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, iu referriug to the President-elect, says: “It would be the height of folly to expect to learn from Cleveland himself auythingthat he does not waul to male public. Ou this point all who have watched, his course siueedic was elected Governor arc perfectly agreed. Ilis niauuer in conversation confirms the statement made by others, that ho ii very slow iu making up his own miud and ucver speaks of his iuteutions until his mind is fully made up and lie has made sure that nothing will interfere with his plaus. He certainly will make it very hard for anybody to predict what he will do on any question.” A newspaper man is supposed bv i many to be infallible. He should uot oaly avoid errors iu his owu hurried, work incident to the issue of his paper, but ho is expected to dissect and analyze the matter and correct the clerical errors of every one. A great many times he does the latter, b'V detecting the error and calling the attention of the writer to it. But articlesare supposed to be prepared with sufficient care by the copyist as to dates and details that the printer is to obey the old rule familiar to every one ver.'ed in tiie printing office vernacular, “Follow copy?’ unless especially instructed that the copy is unfinished and hastily gotten up aurt needs a revision. Then the matter is revised and a proof sent to the writer by request. This is the method of doing business in all well regulated printing offices throughout the country. Tennessee has a legislator who proposes to make it a penitentiary offense to play poker in bis State, and he proposes to send to the penitentiary anybody ande very body who plays a game of cards for auy stake—even for the beer.

It is altogether likely that t'sis bill will go through, aud then the I beys will not have a chance to even ! hang on by their eyelids, says a special. There is a great difference of opinion on the proposed reduction of the legal rate of interest from eight perl cent, to six, says au exchauge. The J bill introduced for that purpose will probably become a law. Such a reduction would certainly not be out of place at the preseut time. There lias been a depreciation in values in almost everything, and,six per cent, now is, in comparison, as much as eight per cent, four or five years ago. A great deal of the business done uow is on borrowed capital,'and the small profits that arc uow made iu consequence of competition arc not sufficient to justify a high rate of interest. , Money is said to be scarce, but there is plenty of money in the country. Men who cau afford to pay eight percent, and can give good collateral can get all the money they want. Men, however, who carry on a small business are unable to pay high i interest, even if they can get the! money. It is claimed that a low rale will j drive capital from the Stato, where it can be loaned at higher rales. But this argument was used when the reduction was made from teu lo eight per cent., and lias been proven untrue. Such a reduction will undoubtedly beueiit the poorer class of people, and ifit should become a law will be a popular one.

The attention of all soldiers is called to the article below, from the Iudiauapolis Sentinel. Gan they say i that it is justice and right to retire a man .with an enormous salary when he has this? which is known as the “Grant Fund.” Here it is: “For the benctit of "the discussion over the proposal to retire General Grant on a General’s pay it may be as wollto rcad what 'Mr. John T. Ferry, one of \hc trustees of the Grant fund of $250,000, has to say. It will be remembered that this fund was invested in Wabash bonds, ou which the estate of ex-Governor E. D. Morgan is boll to a guarantee of interest to the expiration often years from Mr. Morgan’s contract. Mr. Ferry .on being asked to give a true statement of the comli■tiou of the fund said: “The Wabash bonds at preseut pay an interest of something over 6 per cent, and arc valuable. Their value in a few years will increase, and the investment is bv no means uncertain. There is not a Morgan heir that knows anything about the Grant fund, or even in what bond* the moucy has beeu placed. Furthermore, the guarantee 0/ Governor Morgan has six years to run instead of three. By the time the guarantee has expired, the. bonds will be worth a good deal of money. Jbix percent on $250,000, amounts to $15,669 ft Veat, or $1,250 per month, or $41 £0 per day. It does appear that even a distinguished man might live on that, sum pretty comfortably. There is many a gallant soldier, still suffering from wounds received in battle, who would deem General Grant's monthly Income a big one ' j*r year for 111* bolauct of his life.”

Ex-Senator McDonald is getting sti-ong backing fora Cabinet position, and our earnest wish is that the okl man may get there. Regarding the Cabinet a special gives theso details after the consultations of the President elect last week: Representatives Matson, Lowry, and Lamb, of the Democratic delegation in the House, caileu upon Mr. Cleveland tourge upon him the wisdom o{ making McDonald « member of Ids cabinet. Mr. Cleveland received the Indianiaus kindly and cordially, and granted them a full half hour interview. The gentlemen told Mr. Cleveland that there was uo opposition to Mr. McDouald among Indiana Democrats, but that, on the other hand, it was the universal desire of the Democracy of that State that Indiana should l>e recognized with a cabinet appointment, and that Mr. McDonald should be the man. Judge Lowry here remarked that if Mr. McDonald svas not appointed to the cabinet, the disappointments among Democrats would reach dismay. The delegation made a brave and manly appeal to thftPresidcnt elect for the best and truest Democrat in Iiuliaua, saving that he had a political history behind him without a blot or blemish, and that his body was covered With scars in defense of the timehonored principles of the Democratic party. Mr. Cleveland appeared much impressed with the remarks of his visitors. It was about the lirst manly appeal that had been made to him for Mr. McDonald. He replied that Mr. McDonald was always spoken of to him in the most affectionate manner, especially so by Senator Voorhees, for whom he eutertuiuedtho kindest feeling and highest respect. He then added : “My mind at present about my cabinet is in a state of receptivity. I have often found that the last suggestion is sometimes the best, aud will not act hastily.” The conversation here drifted to matters connected with the policy of the next administration, one of the visitors remarking that he trusted Mr. Cleveland would soon find it convenient to clean out the Augcau stables. Mr. Cleveland replied to this by sayiugthat his views upon that question had been publicly expressed in his letter recently published. He added : “I think it wise to retain the friends that came to our support in the last campaign. It is a question in my mind whether the solid south can be maintained by the Democrats, aud by inaugurating a liberal and progressive policy we may be able to gather many recruits in northern aud western states.” Before the Indianians retired, Mr. Cleveland embraced the opportunity of complimenting the Indians democracy upon their aggressive tight and brilliant victory last November. Senator Voorhees and Congressman Cobb will visit Mr. Cleveland Saturday in the interest of Mr. McDonald.

THE LEGISLATURE, Editorial Correspondence. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 10,1S»5. No small amount of investigation business is before the present Legislature. So muoli so in fact, that this will be known in history as the session of investigations. It is just possible that nothing will eome from the many chaiges and countercharges that arise from so many different sources in regard to the conduct of the several benevolent and reformatory institutions, but there can be no question as to the course which should be pursued by the Democratic majority. The cries of misconduct must be hearkened to, and vigorous investigations will be held, for nothing short of this will be sanctioned by the Democratic party of the Statu. The State treasury investigation was scarcely disposed of, if disposed of it is, when the investigation of the officers iu charge of the School for Feeble Minded Children aud Home for Soldiers’ Orphans was gotten under way, and now a resolution, prepared by the Committee on Public Buildings, has been offered and passed in the House,calling for an investigation of the affairs of the three new Asylums for thu Insane, now in course of construction at Evansville, Logansport and Richmond. The bill making the appropriation for these building having already passed the .Senate, it is not probable that that body will concur in the aliove resolution. The special committee appointed to look into the affairs of the State ttreasury made their reports last week. In the House the reports eamo up for action on 'Wednesday, when an exceedingly warm debate was indulged iu. The same matter canto up for action in the Senate on Thursday, wheu, as predicted iu last week’s letter, they had a red hot time. The question was on the adoptiou of the minority report of the Committee, which favored an inve> tigation, and ail of Thursday afternoon and Friday n.oruing were consumed iu fiery debate by both sides. Senators McCullough, Hitligass and Willard made a splendid tight against the adoption of the rei>ort, while Senators Foulke,-Winter, lluston and Magee (Democrat) made equally as eloquent and desperate a struggle for the report. As was known all along, the strict party vote of the Democrats was cast against the minority report, and of course it was defeated. The majority report was subsequently ndopted. '1 he general appropriation bili came up for consideration iu tbe House. An amendment tot be bill proposed by Mr. Fleece was adopted, providing for the appropriation of $6,000 for the purpose 6f erecting tablets to the memory of the Seventh Indiana Regiments, and theThird IndianaCavalrv, marking the positions occupied by tbe troops of tile State on the Gettysburg' battlefield. The bill, with tbo amendments mentioued, was eugrossed. The State funding bill passed the Senate Wednesday by a decisive vote. It has not yet been discussed in the House. The'New Orleans exhibit appropriation of £!,'.*00 for maintaining and replenishing the Indiana display, passed’the House Wednesday aud the Sohateon Thursday. The Conference Committee of the House and Senate agreed ou a $700,000 bond for State Treasurer. Representative Schley has offered a bill which requires railroad companies to build all bridges over their tracks nineteen feet above the level of the road-bed. Representative Akins introduced a bill yesterday, whieb preseriliOB a penalty of from $1 to $0 fine for giving away, treating on a wager intoxicating drinks. , A bill was introduced by Representative Passage exempting from the payment of road tolls funeral processions, soldiers, school teachers and pupils attending school. A bill was introduced for the appropriation of $t,t>3C for tbo payment of the claim of Baker, Smith & Co., ou account of furnishing the heating facilities of the Insane Hospital. ■* Tbe claim of John Martain for $55,610.63, [or material furnished in buildiug tbe female lepartment for the Insane Hospital, was presented to the House by Representative Pendleton.

ine session is about unit over, yet but row bills lmvc become laws. However, from uow ou thiugs will go tlnough witll a rush. The Prison Committee returned Saturday evening from Michigan Citv, where they went on Thursday to iusjieot the Northern Prison. Thi Educational Committee will visit the State University at Bloomington to-day. A large number of the Senators will accompany the Committee. Yesterday at 2 o’oloek p. m. the Legislature met iu joint session in the House and elected the caucus nominees of the Democrats for the various State offices. Senator Johnson, ofTippeeanoe, who has been duugerously ill from typhoid fever since the opening of the session, appeared in the Pham her and oocupied his seat for the first time on Wednesday. He is still feeble, but lias entered upon his duties. Ho has been sppointed Chairman of the Educational t.'omraittee.

■riel Paragraphs Fapceraiag Oar The Governor km^f'iicd the bill increasing the State Treasurer’s bond to *700,000. Mr. Gooding's bill, requiring jury trial in all civil litigated cases, was passed, Friday, after a long discussion. There are 26 soldiers of the late war, twenty-seven doctors, and about a dozen preachers witli quite a large per cent, of lawyers and a number of farmers. So you can see that the different professions are represented.—Exchange. The following bills were introduced by Representative Hargrave on Thursday: “To amend the law relating to the taking up of ustrayed animals,*’ and a a bill “to amend the justice of the peace act.” A bill was introduced in the Senate by Mr. Magee authorizing the Governor, Treasurer ami Auditor of State to make a temporary loan of$60fl,000, bonds redeemable at the pleasure of the State within five or tcu years, to bear a per cent, interest, and authorizing the funding of the present indebtedness of the State if it < an.be done at a lower rate of interest than at present paid. Mr. Jameson’s bank bill is an interesting ami important one. It provides that auy bank president,cashier,clerk, etc., who shall draw and issue any draft, check or bill of exchange calling for the payment of money on the account of drawer when the drawer shall not have funds to meet such draft or check or bill of exchange shall beguil* tr of felony; and that any .bank of1 lieinl who shall receive money for deposit, when lie knows the Iwiik to be insolvent shall likewise be guilty of a felony. Upon conviction the violator of the provisions of the hill shall be imprisoned not less than two years, I nor more than ten ; shall be fined in i any sum not less than $1,000, and shall j be disfranchised for a period not exceeding t wen tv years.

Hill1, who was killed on t! e Vaiulalia railroad near Terre Haute last mouth has cost that road $2,000. Ilis relatives compromised lor that sum and it has been entered outlie records of the Circuit Court. “That is a very handsome picture,” he observed politely to the artist. “What do you call it ?” “Thatis a study from still life.” “What is the name of it ?” „A Tramp at Work.” “What’s that on your nose?” asked one Burlington man of another. “Oh, that’s nothing but a political gathering,” was the reply. “I disputed the majority iu Ohio with a Democrat last evening.—Burlington Free Press. A Montana man has introduced in the Territorial Legislature a bill to regulate inheritances, which provides that no person shall be allowed by will, bequest or inheritance as heir to any estate, money or property exceeding the value of-$l,000,000. The jeans department of the New Albany woolen mills resumed operations yesterday, after two months idleness. The resumption adds 200 additional persons to the pay-roll of the mill. The cotton battirg factory also resumed operations.

The first railway in the United States was three miles in length, extending from the granite quarries at Quincy, Mass., toNeponsct river. It was commenced in 182t> and completed iu 1827. The gauge was live feet. The rails were pine, a foot deep, covered With an oak plate, and these with fiat bars of iron. AVilliam Smith, the oldest man iu Daviess county, died at his home in Barr township last Saturday night. His age is variously placed at from 1(X to 104 years. According tothe census report of 1880 Mr. Smith was over KKJ years of age, as his age was given at 95 in June 1880. A long list of Mr. Smith’s descendants are residents of this county.—Daviess County Democrat. A very simple contrivance—but at the same time one very valuable—is being placed in the switches, frogs, and guards of the Old Colony Bailroad. It consists of a piece of wood so shaved and bolted to a rail as to prevent a person’s foot from getiipg caught in the groove when on the track. Accidents of that kind arc of daily occurrence. Dr. Crmlelli, of Rome, gives the following directions for preparing a remedy for malaria, w hich has proved efficacious when quinine has give.n no relief: Cut up a lemon, peel and pulp, in thin slices, and boil it iu a pint and a half of wat:r until it is reducod to half a pint.

THE OUTSIDE bou„ [From the Philadelphia Call.] You may sing of your dog, your bottom dog, Or of any dog that you please; I go for tho dog, the nice old dog. That knowingly takes his ease. And wagging his tail outside the ring, Keeping always his (tone in sight, Cares not a pin in his sound old head, For either dog in the fight. Not his is the boue they are fighting for. And why should my dog sail in With nothing to gaiu but a certain chance To lose his own precious skin? There may be a few, iterhaps, who fail To see it quite in this light; But when thefUr flies 1 had rather be, The outside dog in the fight. I know there arc dogs, injudicious dogs, That think it is quite the thing To take the part of one of the dogs. And go yelping into the ring. But I care not a pin what all may say In regard to the wrong or the right, My money goes, as well as my song, I For tho dog that keeps out of the fight.

Excursion to Wuhlntton. On the fourth of March, every fourth year, multitudes of people assemble, at the National Capital to take part in and to witness the ceremonial which invests with imperial authority the uncrowned monarch of the great republic. The preparations for the inauguration of the next President are being made upan, a scale which promises a display of unprecedented grandeur and mngnitieeuce. Legions of organized political clubs, civic societies ard trade gildes, combined with a host of volunteer and regular military corps, will form a pageaut of brilliant pomp and splendor. Washington, in the winter season, is one of the gayest capitals in Christendom, and the festivities incident to the inauguration of the chief magistrate will render it doubly attractive. Its broad and well pnvud avenues and beautiful squares, adorned with monuments and statues; its splendid private residences, art galleries and museums; its imposing public buddings, chief of which is the Capitol, standing matchless in grace and symmetry among the finest specimens of architecture iu the world, are all objects of unfailing enjoyment to the visitor. The vicinity, too, of Washington, abounds in places of historic interest. Mount Vernon, the resting place of , the first President, is reached by a short steaiui>out ride u[>oii the bosom of the majestic Potomac: the National Cemetery at Arlington, where thousands of heroes sleep, and the National Soldiers’ Home are also within easv access. There can be no question as to the pleasure to lie derived from a visit to Washington, and the only questiou is, how to get there at a reasonable cost. To meet this query the “Pennsylvania Lir.es" will soil excursion tickets at extremely low rates. They have placed iu service elegant, East,lake Pay Coaches and Pullman’s Palace Sleeping Cars, which will form solid through trains from Cincinnati,' St. Louis, Chicago, Toledo and Cleveland to Washington City. The Pennsylvania Lines are superior to any on the continent in construction, equipment mid efficient, service. ‘-Security, Certainty and Celerity” is theji- motto, and they have become models aud standards for all oth«*r reads in the country. Their lines traverse a section uusuipassed in rich and varied scenery; the eating houses furnish firstclass meals at eouvenieut hours; the track and rolling stock are guarded with all the approved appliances known to science to insure the safety of passengers; and finallv, you are landed in a magnificent station, situated in the business centre of Washington City. £n passant, this station has become invested with a mournful interest to all patriotic Americans. In it was enacted the tragedy which culminated in the death ot the lamented tiartieid. A marble column erected in the waiting room, shows where he fell, and a golden star, set in the til;d floor, marks the spot first crimsoned with the blood of the illustrious slain.
