The demagogue, who would buy the vote of his poor nod needy neighbor.

For the purpose of correcting to some extent the evils which now exist. I would rccrurmend that our election laws be revised in order to prevent aa far as possible, all frauds aad bribery, 1 would call your attention, particularly, to the consideration of the necessity of legislation In regard to several matters not embraced la our election law*.

under the tolh section of onr Constitution “to provide tor the registration of aU persons entitled to vote." Tbt« amendment has born In lore* since March It, 1NH. but no law haa yet been enacted and the constitution haa been OtnuuM. t recommend that provision be made tor a lull and fair registration of all total voters, where the rights at each elector can be larestignled hefhre the day of election. Any person who shall hire or prevent aay elector (rota being duly registered should be subjected to Hue and imprisonment. Second—Limit the number ot electors to each election precinct, so as not to exceed 300 Thtrd—Provide that every precinct Shall be surrounded and protected by some kind of bariters or guardrails which will prevent all peraces except the person voting, from approachtog nearer than forty or fifty feet from the inspectors. ledges and clerks of the election, and make the infraclton of this rule a misdemeanor Fourth—Pro vide that the buying, or offering' So buy, lha vote of any elector, directly or Indirectly, arty any subterfuge, or evasion, or by hiring aay person to work tor the election of any candidate at the polls, shall be criminal, with penalty of disfranchisement tor life, lo the briber and the bribed, and for a second offense, •fter conviction, let the penalty be not leas than two yean la the State prison.

Laws which are never enforced are 111 * dead wood upon a tiring tree: they are not 'inly useless, but tend to weaken and bring our itatutes Into disrepute and contempt Our ptoplc should realize that every act of the Uenei ml Assembly has been made to he enforced, and not paraded'' on our statutes as a threat which trill never he executed. There are now laws ok ottr statutes which come within the WitWeU of these observations. Ottr present laws in -egmrd to the sale of intoxicating liquors are d sregardrd in many parts of the State. In some localities large numbers of the people are decidedly Wppo«e<l to the licensing of the s< Je of intoxicating liquors, while In others at I prohibitory law could be enforced. It seems tc me it would be wise to so frame our laws as U i meet both conditions. 1 believe a local-optic t law for the sale or prohibition of ardent spit its would be ^pstlinttonat. and that It would b s wisdom to permit the people to choose which system they would prefer ia each eouaty, ettj- or Incorporated town in the State. Our tnaii ulions are founded upon that democratic iteory that a majority should rale, and 1 submit that Ihc question of local option should be left to the voic of the people, and that all law-, passed tor the purpose of regulating the sale * if Intoxicating liquor* should be rigidly entorefd. 1 recommend that the llrea-w to be granted tor the sale of such liquors should aot be less I; taw ft" nor more than ll.fOt, in the discretion if the board of county commissioners. sosormjix tarns and mi nima All monopolies, combines and trtsts formed tor the purpose of increasing the p -ice or cost of the necessaries of life should be icclared unlawful. The ailttilerattopoPartlclei of food In common use should be forbidden t nder penalties. and the sales made unlawful, so that the courts would refuse to enforce then u The mixture of coffee with chicory, sugar with glucose, butter with oleomargarine, Isrd. tallow and oils sad the admixture of coal nib lienziae. paraffine and other adulterating artlcb a should b» problMbtted and the sale forbidder. unless the relative quantity of each article composing the' compound is clearly stated by the i ruder. Such sales have been condemned, and In many instances punished, by the ctvil-xr-! nations of the world for centuries past Tbi- currents of commerce are now running deeply in the eh an r.rla of deception and fraud, nn<l should be checked by crvry means in our po» or ItOAtW ASCII HIGHWAY* The construction of gravel or macadamized roads between the cities, towns rtllagrs and commercial centers »f the State is of the very greatest ItnpoJSsnoe. In every y ar many of the main thoroughfares are tnudlo-’ked. so that It becomes almost impossible to pais over them with an empty vehicle. Such obstructions are not only an inconvenience to the pxbltc, but are oftentimes the cause of great loss h our farmers as they can not convey their prmlui'c to market In a proper manner at the most convenient and profitable times. With our river and railroad systems which may be regarded »the great arteries of travel and transit, pood county roads would act as the veins whir i would give to ihe great bodv of commerce the most healthy action* In the States and counties where such rouds have been constructed, tame are worth much more than better lands Hi this State, where the rich clay soil and change of seasons often render our puuls nearly tm pas sable. The revenue to be dej rtved from tbr sale of intoxicating i liquors and ardent spirits, and from the (log lax. j might be very property used for »Se construction of such roads Large sums of money arc now. tinder our prevent read system, expended and wasted which might be of er-at benefit tf tbr roads could be worked und*r arms general supervisor who understood practical engineering. Ilridges culverts ditches a id embankments are now ronetnirted In malty localities at great cost, whirl! are almost worthless, and even the earth roads are worked in many Instances exhausting the road tns without much practical benefit. It might be worthy of your consideration whether donriet 1st* r. Instead of competing with our mechanical Industries could not be ntftzrd In the roast ruction of gravel and macadamised roads. I believe that It can be safely said that the farming lands of this State, with good roads passab le at all seasons would be worth at least» pe r cent, more than Ihetr present value., POM MON si HOI If.s. The •nortnoua amount annually paid tor school books has created great dtuatisfacUou throughout the State. Some plan, if possible, should be adopted by which the j wire of such £poks could be brought within i reasonable limit. On aa average, the cost tc each pupil could be safely staled to reach 11 per annum. Our average daily attendance of pupils in ISH8 was «R.r.» This would show an outlay by parents and guardians tor that year amounting to 91 .Sefififft. Two plans have beer adopted by tbe different States to curb surh vast expenditure for text boohs: First, the publication of arbool hook* by the Rtate. Second, free text books bought by the State or school district* and loaned to the pupils The first method has been conde tnned as impracticable and costly. while the *roond. whrr - It has been tried, hat received tbe highest commendation of State supertnleaden I and professional 'rather*- tty this free text-book system, the coal of hooka tor rack pupil ir Michigan is estimated at 90 rents per annum: In Maine rent*.per annum; in Vermont, ste nt 89 rents; In Wisconsin not one-third of ton*freest The arguments made In favor of free te xt-books may be stated as follows: Tbe coat Is greatly below that ol any other method yet adopted: more prompt attendance and regularity of pupils: It makes the schools tree Indeed, and equalises the children of the rich and poo -, as bosh are supplied alike: it teaches pupil* the responsibility and care for the property, and rubles them to obtain a better education. The amount overpaid by parents and guardians, under our present system, would greatly exoved the taxes a hiich would • are to be levied to purchase all the boohs required In our schoo-s under the free text book system The poo pie would be the gainers over the taxstton by more than twice the sum required to pun base aU the book* uniter the proposed system, and could we ll afford to pay the additional ta x that would be required for that purpose. The cities of New York and ITvtlsdciphtn. and the States of Massarhusett k Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa Maine and Vermont have adopted or .tr.ed this system. In New York city it has been practically tred tor forty year*, and in Philadelphia for ae reaty yean. Taking a high average under thi > system, say forty cents per pupil, the enure « at in Indiana for the year IW would only have amounted to 118X910. as against the probable c* tk 11,99119 which would give an actual annua gain to the people of th<s State of tl.MS.8’5 or hi.90 to cverv pupil. • If the system should cost oa the average mm dollar to the papll. it would still l« are a gala to the parent* and guardians, for l hat year, of 1817.990 With free text-books a great burden would be taken from the poor, -rboafe often unable to spare the amount required to purchase their booka at tbe very exoi bttant prices they are no* compelled to pay or leave Ihetr children uneducated. Experts am I book-seller* intonu me that the prices paid tot school-book* In this State yield from 900 to 900 pur reel abate the actual cost of production. Something should be done to reduce tbe coal to s reasons ble price, and! I ft from parent* ■ nd guardians those very heavy burdens. The opfUe of oar rarnmnm i ttonol system should be justly curtailed in tbe fi dure, aa near* ty every county la the State la jrovided with excellent school-boose*, now nu nbertag 9.889. Our school property, independent of til funds, may bo estimated at nearly 11900909 This condition, with the erer-toercaaini r fund derived from fines and forfeitures, will. 11 I* believed, admit of the incoma from tbe locate on Urn sale of ardent spirits, and from tl a dog tax. being transferred and profitably use-1 by the State tor the construction of gravel and macademteed roads. I commend the subject to your deliberate and mature consider* tx n, and I will heartily cooperate ia any meaaare* that will lessen the present exorbitant pric f*. Some confusion sad inequality has arisen in reporting the number of pupils u each county aa having attended the common schools. As the dtstnbntioa of the fond* depe ads upon the number thus reported. I would suggest that each superintendent and tenchei in reporting the numbers be required to ftv * the name of - each pupil who has attended durii g that period end in no ease count the name m- ire than once. scrum com Our CosmtitttUoa provides that "Justice shall be administered freely, sad wtu out purchase: completely, and without dental; speedily, and without delay."

HOGset or RATicw uw statu. Since 1MB the United States has arisen from the wreck and ruin ol the most terrible war to be found in the (ayes of history, and bos rushed with the strides of a tfiant U> the front tank of the proud nations of the earth. Today, in all that constitutes tree power, wealth and grunt" ness, our Nation Is wi thout a peer. It baa been estimated by Nr. X. MulhaU, F. & S„ author of‘The Progress of the World," In his address before the the British Association, at Bath. England, that in every one of the three sources of power—man. horse and steam —the United flute exceeds the leading nations of Europe. These working powers of the r etted States, the groat sources of invention, production and wealth. In round numbers, are thiee times ss great as those ol France, two and one half times as great as those of Germany, and one uad two-thirds as great as those of the United Kingdom of Greet Britain and Ireland. Ovir growth Is only begun, and the increase of industry, energy and wealth goes on unabated and with accumulating force. Our census in MO will probably shown population ol «.Ooaom. and w aggregated wealth in value unknown to any nation of ancient or modem da's. In Use great sisterhood, the State of Indiana la not surpassed, if equaled, in natural advantages by aay ol der Bute ta the Caion. Within IU area II contains a very large avenge of rich agricultural lands, with a most congenial climate. With Its rivers and railroads, it has an easy sod rapid access to I he principal markets, and its broad Acids of coal, natural gas and mineml* will soon develop manufactories w1tb>whk-h lew other localities win be able to compete. God. in H * mercy, has showered His blessings on the State, and with humility and gratitude are should labor to develop our great resources. Much can be done by legislation, and the voice of the people of Indiana has called upon ywu to perform that noble and important duty. ' There waa prolonged applause at the conclusion of the reading of the inaugural and then the band played 'The Star SpangM Banner," and set the audience to gtvlng related manifest atlons of pleasure in cheers and clapping of hands. [When the music was ended Urn oath ofgpIMre Lieutenant-Governor Im Mr. Chase was Niblack. lie was heartily received and responded briefly at) follows: “Honorable Senator* and Representatives —Through the suffrages of* a majority of the pople of our great, commonwealth, 1 hare lorn called to occupy the high a.nd honorable station, that of Lieutenant-Governor of Indiana. No one of my Illustrious predeccsors has ever felt mom keenly the responsibility resting upon him a* a servant of the people, nor has it been in hi» power to appreciate more highly the distinguished honor they Mlvo conferred.

From yon I invoke that fraternal kindness and charily which I know I shall in my weakness, need. And upon you and the people whom you represent may the blessings of A1 mighty God come. I am ready for duty." When the Lieutenant-Governor closed his remarks there wera calls for Governor Gray. The ex-Goveruor was reluctant to respond, but the entire audience joining in the call, he c\une forward and said hr had ended his work as a public servant of the people of Indiana. Ho had tried to do his duty as he had seen it. and he felt thankful to the people for the confidence they had conferred on him. in closing he said: “I return my sincere thanks and gratitude tjs, you. and sincerely hope the adminutrattoa/of Gorernor Hovey may excel my own and redound to the welfare of the Bute.'

Boucicault, though perhaps leas judicious in the use she made of one of the largest fortunes of this age. The late Duke of Galliera was one of the Continental railway kings and a keen and venturesome speculator. He died leaving personalty in France alone amounting to 155,000,000; and in Italy over #15,000,0001 The Univers given the following list of her well-known deeds of generosity: Two thousand dollars a year to the poor of the Seventh Arondissement; #4,000 a year to the poor of Paris; for the Brignole Galliera Museum, near the Trocndelo, #1,000,000; for the creation of an orphanage at Meudon, #2,800,000; for the support of that institution. #2,000,900; for the building of three workingclass lodging -houses in Paris, #400,000. To deepen tie port of Genoa she gave #1,700,000, to the present Pope #500,900, to build two hospitals #1.800,000. Besides the above donations she gave Llenoa the palace called the Palazzo Etossa, with its sort furniture and pictures. comprising a collection of ancestral portraits by Rubens and Vandyke. The gift of A palace and estate at Bologna to the Due de Montpensier can hardly be willed a charity. Her last great benefac tions were the founding of two asylums, one for 200 old men and 100 old women, and another for Christian Brothers too old or broken down in health to teach. It was at the opening )(the former at which she caught cold, which, degenerating into inflammation af the lungs, killed her. "How she disposed of the renpant of 'her vast foitune is not yet known. The Duchess had an idea the eras insulting tho poor to ask them to live in meeaiy-oonstrudt-sd alms-houses. She therefore created palaces for them.—Paris Letter.

The farm house is the heaven of tl» farmer's wife. Farming is a business. One great need is that business principles be applied to it. There is seldom danger of raring too well for stock in winter, if the energy is guided by an understanding of one’s bumness. Too maxt farmers lose time, labor aiud money in adapting their work to their buildings, rather than adapting their buildings to the work required of them. Coal, slack of cinders, burnt cobs Or charred walnut wood in the hog yards is frightening to tho “swine plague,'’ if accompanied with plenty of rock salt. Toe stock for fattening should be separated from all tho rest and be so fed its to make the most j)esh in the shortest pefl; sibie time and bo ready for market. It has passe* tajto a proverb in some places that therms nothing that will “cream the milk” more quickly than paste ring sheep along with the milk cows, aud it should, therefore, never be done. Evert feeder who has given his ho;» close attention knows that after tho hoijs reached a certain stage as regards to growth, keeping any longer is an expense with very little profit. Farmers instead of being in tho X Z's of their profession are really in tho B 0's in so far as they are trying to improve toe quality of their pvo stock aiid its products without paying attention to the keeping up and improving of the fer'tility of their soil. Tue sheep is one of the closest feeders we have; in fact, with the exception of thfe rabbit und the kangaroo, it will cat a pasture barer than any other auimal. This is, of course, due to the small sue of tile mouth, together with its predilection for tho finer grasses. W e may observe all through tho range of animal, from the neglected pig up to t ic human organization, that tho amount «f energy expended for prefltablo returns is in almost exact proportion to tho value «f breeding in the individual, and its capacity to digest well-selected food. Too long or coarse pasture is of no be uett, and, in fact, the quality of the milk is often iu tho inverse ration of the bareness of the pasture, but it is tho cows themselves that-musl cat it bare. Borne other kind 0( stock might be allowed', such as horses if they are quiet, but the cream of the pasture must be at the service of thecows^else there will be little cream ou the milk. Teat “a rolling stone gathers no mot. should be remembered by every far er, especially by every young farmei Whether his farm is a small one pi, for, or he » staggering under a load debt, be should stick to it. He should ii(hprovo his methods of farming; strive to learn the causes of failure or success, but he should not give up and sell out for less than tho property is worth and move to other country. EDUCATIONAL EXTRACTS. Bzcaise yon can not go to school is no reason why you should not be well educated. Bcbools and educational advantages of every kind are multiplying rapidly. An, a consequence more is expected of each «uic ceeding generation. SrstiD your leisure in reading books which wilt teach you something worth knowing, or will give heart training. Hurc nothing to do with trashy books, which weaken the memory and deprave the tan lie. To-uay in our land there is not a boy or girl of ordinary health, strength and mi nil, who can not in some way become a well educated and interesting person, fitted to give pleasure and benefit to any commit ab ♦»•
