A. N. Martin:, of the Eleventh district, Was rC-nominated for congress^ last Thursday for the thifd linic' by acclamation. Mr. Martin was at one time reporter of supreme court, and at the present time is chairman of (he Committee oh invalid pensions. lie is one of the coming young men of Indiana. IIon. J. W. Camfuell refuses to aet as chairman of the republican national committee after being elected ‘to fill that petition. The republicans are in a bad way this year when all the prominent men of . the party are in the sglks am) refuse to take any 'part in the earning campaigu whatever. Where Is Dudley ?

James Bkumfield, chairman of the republican central committee, is prominently mentioned as a candidate for recorder, but of course says he is not a candidate. Jle is plaviHg the Jiui Blaine dodge on tho rest of the boys, and may possibly bo knocked down. Still Jim is just now hankering after the clerks’ office, See? The investigating committee of the house of representatives have at last utado' a repbrt: in Pension Commissioner 11aurn’s case. It was found that tho department was run by incompetent persons and corruptionists. Affairs in general were in baij |s)iape. All the charges preferred were sustained, The question uow is: Will Harrison tire Baum and his family ? County Clerk Goodlet Morgan has curded the people of Pike county in this weeks issue of the Press that he cannot accept iihe congressional nomination in this district. Mr. Morgan states as his roa^gns that he is too busily engaged in other duties and would be unable to make a canvass of the district. He is a sensible man, as the nominee of fho republican party will go'down In defeat. As will lie seen in another column George B. Aslibv, chairman of the democratic county committee lias issued a call for all members- of the central committee to meet at Winslow for the purpose of fixing a date qn which to hold the county convention. It seems to he general among the democrats that the c onvention should he called as early as possible in August. The farmers will not bo so busy as tliey will be later on, and can attend the convention then without interfering mush with their work'. At last tl e peoples’ party liave nomitiuteJ their presidental ticket. They nearly worried the life out of Judge Greshmu in trying to induce him to accept the nomination, a::d as a last resort nominated General James B. Weaver to head the ticket. Weaver is the same mail who headiu the greenback ticket several years ago, and lias been every where except ini he demon's rtie party for tho past several years, lid' wants on a ticket, no matter whai'kind or under what ciicunjstuncos.

Whig Party ^Responsible for the State .Debt, Created a Major Portion oi That Heavy Burden To.Which the Republicans Have Additions. A Comprehensive View of tUeFiunnolijJ Condition of the State—rublic Works Crate the Orielu or the Present Publie Indebted lien—Whnt Hue Been Dune by Democratic Administration* to Beduce It. Concerning the state debt .Judge Lewis Jordan, of Indianapdlis, says: *', The legislature of Indiana in 1836 and subsequent years authorized an extensive system of internal improvements by the s tate.* The Whig party was in control, but the craze for these public works swept pver the state, ‘ and the votes of members of both parties were controlled by local interests. The mohOy to make the cnials and roads bad to be borrowed, and :in a few years the debt of the state amounted to over $11,000,000. In 1841 the crash came and the state conld not even pay the interest on this vast sum, much less any part of the principal'. 1 By the advice and influence of Governor Whitcomb the legislature of 1846 proposed a compromise to the creditors of the state, which a large majority of thpm accepted. By the terms of this Compromise these creditors accepted the Wabash and Erie canals for one-half the principal of their bonds and one-half of the accumulated interest. For the other half of the principal, state stock hearing 5 per cent, interest was issued, and for the •one-half of accumulated interest state stock bearing 3 1-3 per cent, interest. For this great service Governor Whitcomb deserves idbiinment erected by ’the state! Re restored1 the credit of Indiana. '■ All'the creditors of the state did not; accept the compromise, and during the' admini strations of Governors Hendricks,! Williams and Porter there was paid on' these old internal improvement bonds' $713,853.18, and thousands of dollars have been paid since, the supreme court having decided that that they must bo paid in full, principal and interest. The state five and two-and-a-half per, cent, stocks were taken up by investing j the trust funds of the state in them, hut\ over $5,000,000 of this old improvement j debt lms never been paid, and today this amount represents more than one-half of. the state debt. The state has nothing to

enow lor u. The editor who publishes, or the stump speaker who asserts, that the Democratic party made this part of the state debt is either an ignoramus or a willful falsifier of the history of the state. The unpaid internal improvement bonds appeared in the public debt statements up to 1864, but in 1863 the state auditor left them out, Honest Governor Baker, in his last message, delivered January 10, 1873 (see house journal, page 18), said they should have been included in the annual debt statements. He estimated in that message that it would require $369,000 to take them up, but his estimate was too low, as Governors Hendricks, Williams and Porter paid $713,833.18 on them, and large svims have been paid since, as I have stated above. ' Governor Baker said in this same message, delivered three days before Mr. Hendricks became governor, that the state debt was $4,630,830.37, but he only included $569,000 of those internal improvement bonds in his statement. This was $300 ,000 too little, as time has demonstrated. Add this $300,000 to the amount of the state debt as given by Governor Baker and it makes the state debt when Mr. Hendricks became governor $4,850,830.87. But Governor Baker in this same message admits that the state treasury was bankrupt, and said “that the collection of the revenue of 1873 will have to be anticipated by a temporary loan.” (See page 30, house journal, 1873.) This loan was made immediately after the inauguration' of Governor Hendricks and amounted to $300,000. It is justly chargeable to the administration of Governor Baker, and when added to the amount of the state debt, as stated by him, increased by tljp' $300,000 of additional internal improvement bonds which he did not estimate, makes the true amount of the state debt at the beginning of Governor Hendriclfs’ term over ! i I Five Million Dollars. These honest and true statements of Governor Baker as to the amount of thq debt and the condition of the state treasury at the close of his term, put to shame the liars who make it a business to retail their lying charges against the Pemocratic party during every canvass. I now challenge them to show by the record tliat the state debt was permanently increased during the administrations of Governor Hendricks and Williams.' It; was in fact reduced, for in 1881 when Porter became governor the ^ebt wqs only $4.876,608.84. ' Governors Hlindridfis' and Williams not only reduced the state debt, but at the same time built and equipped the Insane Hospital for Women at Indianapolis, and also expended large sums for exteensivo improvments on other state institutions. The foundation for the growth of the debt was laid during the administration of Governor Porter, and he, more than any one else, is responsible for it. The legislature of 1883, while he was governor, authorized the erection of three Additional hospitals for the insane, and appropriated $600,000 “to carry ont the provisions of the act.” (See acts 1888, page 164.) What were t)(p provisions of the acj jf'' The act says “for the construction and equipping of three hospitals for the insane.” 1 Governor Porter permitted the bill to become a law without his signature, but Jie df<t sOlopt the members of the board, and wait tts president under the terms of the law. The state tax levy had not been increased by the legislature that ‘ordered the new hospitals, and there was pot a dime in the treasury to pay the $600,000 appropriation. Governor Porter and Jus board were pot deterred from acting by this Met. They even did not Confine themsebfcs to the sum appropriated, but adopte*>land which resu lted in making these hoMtalS roc-t $1.500,000. Every cent of thiwast

sum was borrowea, ^uu iLas stcrc*^. the state debt. The location and plans of construction of these hospitals has been severely criticised, hot this is aside from this discussion. It is announced that Governor Porter is to take part in the coming canvass, and if the Republicans are anxious to continue the discussion of the responsibility for the increased state debt, some pointed questions must be propounded to Governor Porter, and explanations will’'be in order. He Sowed the seed which yielded a large increase of the debt, and he did this when the tax payers were, building the state house. It will not do to charge that the money to pay for the hospitals was borrowed by Governor Gray. The obligations were contracted by Governor Porter’s administration and bad to be paid or repudiated by the state. Boomed by a Republican Home. The Republican house of 1887 started another boom of the state debt by the extraordinary appropriations for the soldiers’' monument, the soldiers’ orphans’ home and other state buildings. (See acts of 1887.) I am not criticising these appropriations, bnt fixing the responsibility for the increase of the debt. By these appropriations, which couldnot have been made if the Republican "house of 1887 had not consented, well-nigh on to half a million dollars were added to the state debt. This same Republican house of 1887 refused to continue the state bouse tax and thus made it necessary to borrow $700,000 to complete and furnish the state house. They again boomed the state debt. This same Repnblican bouse of 1887 wanted to borrow $2,000,000 to squander, but a Democratic senate blocked the game. This was part of a scheme to injure Governor Gray, as the $2,000,000 loan was to be charged np against his administration. It never occurred to this Repnblican house that it was its duty to increase the state tax levy to raise money to pay the large, extraordinary appropriations it made. The Democrats have been denounced uftth stint for not raising the levy, hut the Republican house of 1887 refused to do this very thing. The Republicans will please take a large dose of their own medicine, and take it often, so they will cease lying about their opponents. It will thus he seen from the above that the increase of the state debt in the last twelve years was nearly all caused by a Republican governor and Republican house. It would he interesting to have the names of any Republican members of the legislature who voted against extraordinary expenditures for'public buildings in the past twelve years. They all voted for and advocated them. While denouncing the increase of the state debt and the increase of the state tax levy, the Republican papers ore now advocating schemes which will remiire larcre auuronriations to carrv them

out. Since 1877 the state tax levy has been only twelve cents on the $100. All now see and admit that this was not enough to pay current expenses and make the large improvements on state institutions and build new ones. The economical and wise. administrations of Governors Hendricks, Williams and Gray made it possible to borrow money for 8 per cent. All the money borrowed has been applied to building, and thestaite has its magnificent institutions to show for it It is the meanest kind of demagogery to attempt to make political capital out of the financial transactions of the state, and by perverting the facts. Governor Uovey saw the necessity of an increase of the state tax to twentyfive cents. Because a Democratic legislature fixed it at eight cents below the recommendation of a Republican governor it is denounced. Personally, I would have favored cutting down the state school tax to fourteen cents and increasing the state tax to fourteen cents. But the time hits come for the state to face the music and pay that part of the debt which was created to build the insane hospitals, soldiers’ orphans’ home, institute for feeble minded children, soldiers’ monument, and to make the large additions to all the other state institutions. And the time has come to call a halt in making any extraordinary appropriations until this part of the debt 18 ¥he old debt of $5,000,000 might be continued as a relic of the internal improvement craze of 1836-7. 'TARIFF tiOTES. The humorous ex-Congressman Horr, Who has been hired as a protection propagandist, declares in big type in the New York Tribune that— - The tariff is levied in the first place simply to enable the people of the United States to pay the high wages everywhere prevailing in this country. This is directly opjxwed to the declaration of Mr. McKinley at Providence, durjng the recent campaign, that— No one ever chained that protective tariffs were intended to increase wages. Mr. McKinley is a better authority on the subject of the tariff than the peripatetic missionary of the monopolists can claim to be. And Mr. McKinley’s action is confirmed by the action of the Republican house in voting down an amendment offered by a Democrat to his hill requiring the manufacturers to increase the wages of their workmen by the full amount of the proposed increase in the duty.—Shelbyville Democrat. For some time monied men have been working to secure the formation of a trust of all the plate-glass factories of America. ' Jn glass circles nothing else is talked of.' According to a well-known glass manufacturer there is an overproduction 1 of plate* glass, and unless a trust is farmed competition of a disastrous character will occur. This is ono of the peculiar blessings of the provisions of tlij;1 McKinley bill. So soon as manufactories are established all over the land and an over-production is threatened, the people are compelled to pay enough for the products of the establishments to keep half of them closed up with a comfortable income.—Peru Sentinel. Ben Butler Supported HnrrUon. The senate committee reported against the passage of the hill to prevent the use of the American flag for advertising purposes. The senate is controlled by the g. o. p., which holds the flag in sucl) holy reverence, Yet the excuse for their action is that it would interfere with the manufacture of the flags, Ben Butler has control of this article. Yet the Republicans not only give him A protective tariff, but also permit the desecration of the flag rather than interfere with the manufacture of the article.—Lake County News. i

Biff! Bang!! Editors Krebs and Harrel Meet in the Ring. No Serious Punishment Given Each Other or “Bind” Spilt. All on Account or an Article Which Appeared In the New.) of Last Week. When Republican Editors Fall Out Look Out for Fuu. The Affair in Detail.

Ill the pages of unwritten history of newspaper doings in Pike county there shall bo recorded another chapter. Unlike all others, it differs somewhat from the oft repeated style of newspaper wars and little tiffs which are engaged in by the editors of opposing political parties. They will sometimes havo a little skirmish,but all ir. good humor. Not 60 with opposing republican editors who ate looking forward to the time when they may get a slice of the public printiug, a government position or the postptiico in Petersburg. They have a great hankering after sumo soft snap and will thump each other for fear that the other is about to reach the plum. Such is the position of the two republican journals of Petersburg to-day. The boys are having a little fun all to themselves much to the merriment of the onlookers aud spectators. It is impossible to give the full details iu the amusing little street caper which was cut last Friday, and which resulted without the loss of blood. For sometime past Editor Darrel, of the News, and Editor Krebs, of the Press, have been discussing the republicanism of each olhur and also that of several others of the rank and file ot the g. «. p. in words of unmistakable meaning. It was the opinion on the streets tbat the editor of the Press was knocked out in the first round, but it seems that Editor Krebs had taken in the slate convention at Fort Wayne, and had been “thoosed” to such an extent that upon returning home* and reading the News, which publication had proceeded to turn hint over, he immediately donned his fighting harness and proceeded to hunt tip the aforesaid Harrcl. He foutid his man Thursday evening and demanded a retraction and if it whs not forthcoming he would resort to other means. To this demand Editor Harrel refused, but was ready to settle the same by any other means. The matter rested at this, but it seems tiiat Krebs was not satisfied and on Friday forenoon they met again -on Adants, corner, when Editor Krebs halted Editor llarrel aud demanded in the following language: “Mr. Harrcl, I demand of you a full and complete retraction of the slanderous articles published in your paper.”' To which the editor of the News replied, “you go to It—1.” lbff, bang, went Editor Krebs’ good right and left in a John L. style. The referee called time and the first round was all iu favor of Krebs. Second round—They come up smiling and at tire call of time they rushed at each other like enraged lions and “bind” in their eyes, and clinched, and fell to the floor with a dull sickening thud and Krebs on top, but no sooner had they struck titan Harrel flopped Krebs over and was in the act of going at his man hammer afld tongs when the referee yelled “break away,” and the nom halauts were pulled apart with honors even, but both so badly winded that they were unable to proceed further, and the battle was then postpon'd ed until the further orders of the referee. Neither one of the pugilists was any (lie worse for wear after theii little scrap except that they were winded, and just how the affair will wind up it is hard to conjecture The boys regret the affair very much, and should have settled it in some other way than by having a street brawl, but if they must settle it that way they had better take te the woods some evening after dark. Let ’er go Gallagher. For furtherinformation on the subject see the News and Press of this week.

Mrs. Larinda Sliawban, wile of James Shawhan, died at her home in this city last Monday, July 4th. She was the daughter of George and Sarah .Morrison, and was born in this county March 31, 1840, making her age 46 years, 3 months and 4 days. She was married January 33. 1878. She was a devoted worker and faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which site had lived since about sixteen years of age. No one commanded More confidence in the sincerity ot all she professed than she. No one enjoyed more uuanimous friendship. For a long time prior to her last sickness she was the president of the Indies’ sewing society, in which she served with great efficiency aud acceptability. She was energetic in all she undertook. In her sickness she was patient and resigned. The funeral service at the church according to the ritual of her denomination, was solemn and Impressive. The music was well rendered. The floral tributes by the ladies of the church, by the chapter of the Eastern Star, aud others, bv the immense attendance nil spoke the esteem in which she was held by the community. The remains were taken to Walnut Hills cemetery where they were buried according to the beautiful ceremonies of the Eastern Star. Admitted the Facts.

DECLINE OF WOOL TRADE. HiCh Tariff ?*t Followed by HICh Prieto The National Wool Growers’ association maintained a lobby at Washington two years ago to induce congress to increase the duty on wool in the McKinley . tariff bill. This association is composed chiefly of “pro fessional” wool growers like Columbus Delano and William ^Lawrence, Rep ublican politicians' of \ Ohio. Both men appeared before the - ways and means committee urging more ; protection on. wo J. “With suffle ent protective wool : .tariff," said ex-St cretary of the Interior Delano, “onr flocks of sheep would be vastly increased to supply wool which we are now importing from foreign countries, and this increase would make a demand for corn, which, in some localities, as i n p -rtions of Kansas and Nebraska, is bei ig consumed as fuel, j ". . . The revenue of our wool industry and its proper full development, would restore prosperity, to the whole country.” The ways and means committee adopted the wool schedule prepared by the Wool Growers’ i ssociation. The McKinley hill hecarae a law with this schedule unchanged as follows: Class 1— Tariff. Unwashed, value 80c or less.. .11 cts. per lb Unwashed, value over 30e.....11 do Washed (twice the duty on unwashed)........23 do Washed (twice the duty on unwashed) ..,,.23 do Scoured (three times the duty on unwashed).... 33 do Scoured (three limes the duty on unwashed)..33 do Class 9— Unwashed, value 80c or less_13 do Unwashed, value ovjySOe_.13 do Stoured............. f.....i....3C do Class 8— Value 13c or less..33 per cen,t.

The McKinley tarii' went into effect October 6, 1890. The following market report clipped from the Indianapolis Journal a week before the bill took effect will show the condition of the wool market under the old tariff : Boston, Sept- 30.—There has been a good trade Sin wool and tin sales continue large.
