Saw Far a Bridge. For many years there has been a great deal of talk of bnildiag abridge between Knox and Pike counties and connecting Harrison township of the first named county and Washington of the latter. A large number of the farmers of Harrison township do their trading here and many would like to do so but for the ferry charges. This law gives the power to the board of commissioners to order elections and let the people vote on the ques* tion. The levy for the building of a bridge cannot exceed thirty cehts oiy' the hundred dollars aud would not be very heavy, as probably that amount would not be necessary, Those interested in such a movement should at once begin to agitate the matter at Once. We have not now at our command the language of the full Mil but will secure the same and publish it. Among the laws published in 9hort form it appears as— Senate enrolled act No. 2S*f authorize* counties or townships to construct or aid In the construction of bridges over streams forming the boan lry Jine cotween townships whether in the same bounty or not. Emergency. A pproved March. 9. This was one of the bills passed at the last session and was framed more particnlary for this locality. What will the people do now that they have the chance to secure the bridge. It is time for action. Petitions should be drawn up and the signature# of the citizens sectfred and presented to the board of commissioners of the two counties to call special elections to vote the aid pr reject it. Let’s go to work now. j ^

How Really Fanny It Is. The republicans newspapers of the state get real funny over the late closing scenes of the legislature, and lay the whole blame on the democratic members and those who are employed about the state house. Don’t this sound queer when oue has read the reports in the daily papers about how the doors weie nailed in the gallery and those to the lower floor of the house locked and bolted by the republican door-keepers. Why do they not go farther $ud charge the democratic members with bolting the doors and thumping Secretary King? It would be believed just as quick, If the blame rests on the democrats why did republican legislators Intercept Secretary King in the halls of the state house and imprison him in the elevator carriage, while he was on his way to the house with a message from the governor. All this stuff about those few democrats raising the disturbance is ail bosh. Rescued From the Water. H. M. Rice, of this city, some two or three weeks ago while along White river chanced to go out on adrift north of the city and near the E. & I. bridge.
