M- ■ ■ ' J1- -- Will some oue who knows whereof he speaks give the people of Peters* burg some idea of the financial condition of corporation. What is the floating debt including orders and bonds ? The ticket nominated by tbe republicans on the first of April does not seem to suit some of the rank and file of (hat party. But nevertheless they will vote it straight at the May plection. Soma of the republican candidates for the town officer before the republican primary election pnt in a very frqey day Sunday looking after votes Jn the suburbs of the city. Some 4pne service long after a great many people had gone into sweet repose flsr the night. Some candidates are ptnyers. v In answer to inquiries the attorneygenersl announces that under the act pf (he recent general assembly, school boards of cities a ud towns can employ teachers for next year, but township & trustees who go ont of office in August can not. This is an important decision and effects a point that ha6 }ong been held in dispute. As the city campaign is now on it would not be out of order to have a statement from the city clerk and board of trustees as to the standing of the town’s finances. The citizens should be made aware of just how ipuch the debt is. Some of the bonds have been paid off during the past year, and $9,500 in bonds were also issued and sold. Let’s have a report.

Toe republican parly or ±nce county now has two official organs. That’s good. But it is a burden to the tax-payers of the county nevertheless, as all legal publications are published in both papers whether the law warrants It or not at full legal rates, and the people are compelled to pay the same. Go iu on itt boys, you hare the public teat and make the most of it while you can. Everything Is republican. David L. Wright, of Washington is still at Indianapolis, hoping to secure the appointment of custodian of the state house. All the other candidates have left that city for tlielr homes, ^irn Griffin will remain in chargeotthe state bouse until his term expires two years hence. George Tucker of this place was also a candidate for . the position. This is the office tor which the republican legislature turned itself into a mob. * There are still a number of, our subscribers who have failed to heed the notice re<5ently given. We need -the fnoney due ns; the cash has been parned and pre want it te do business with* Those knowing themselves in arrears will comer a great favor on os by remitting at once. If you are not aware of the exact amount drop us a postal ami we will inform you by re(type mail. Qold, silver or paper {gopey w||| be acceptable.

Jplse E. A. Ely. The people of Dubois county will heartily congratulate Judge Ely upon his appointment as circuit judge of the mw circuit of Dubois and nice. That such a | needless circuit should hare been crested is one of the anomalies of the late republican legislature. It is so additional expense imposed upon the people of tbq two counties without any compensating benefits whatever. The duties of the judge trill not occupy over six months in any year, but of course his houor will receive a full year’s salary, and the expense of the courts must necessarily be increased. The people, when they pay theiir taxes for it, may thank the jugglery with justice ot the republican members of the legislature from V seder burg county for the additional tu necessary expense foisted upon them by republican rule. But as it la done there is no use kicking, only to call attention to the useless extravagance. Judge Ely has the confidence and respect ot the people of all parties in Dubois county, where his long practice as an attorney has made him well acquainted and he will be universally recognized as a worthy successor of Judge Welborn, whose long service and just holding of the scales has shed great lustre upon the judicial ermine- Governor Matthews has unquestionably made at wise selection. And yet If the Courier may be permitted to remark that there was do such fierce contest among the Dubois county aspirants as the Indiauapolis Sentinel’s article implies, sod no feeling whatever—not the slightest— among the people, in regard to it, While most would, of course, liked to have seen one of our neighbors get it they will, aspirants and all heartily congratulate Judge Ely.'v-Jaspey Courier. E. A. Ely, a prominent lawyer of Petersburg, has been appointed Judge of the uew circuit composed of Pike and Dubois.—Washington Advertiser. Gov. Matthews appointed Eugeue A. Ely of Petersburg, Judge for the new Judicial Circuit created by the last Legislature. The circuit is composed of the counties of Pike aud Dubois.—Vincennes San. Every citizen iu Petersburg and Pike county Will be glad to learn of the appointment of E. A. Ely to the judgeship of this judicial circuit. Mr. Ely is a man of exceptionally high character, and oue whose honesty and honor have never been questioned. The appointment is purely w recognition of merit and long and honorable service. We congratulate Judge Ely and wish him a long and successful career on tho bench.—Petersburg Press. Pensions AnaM.

The Habit Of Swearing, From the manner in which many men deliberately and wilfully curse and swear iu public they may thiuk there is no punishment for their offenses. They should be made aware of the following law: “Whoever, being over fourteen years of age, profanely curses, swears, aver8 or imprecates by or in the name of God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, is guilty of profanity, and on conviction thereof shall be lined not more than three dollars nor less than one dollar for each offense/’ Were all the fines collected that could under this provision, the revenue of the state would be greatly increased, and perhaps the evil would be slightly lessened. Elmer Whitman, who has been a sufferer for near eighteen weeks, with white swelling in his leg, is, at this writing rapidly improving and should nothing unforeseen interfere, the young ma|i will soon be able to walk. This well pleasing state of affairs was brought about as the results of a delicate surgical operation performed on the boy’s limb a few weeks ago by Dr.-J. W- McGowan, of Oaklaud City. The hearts of our people go out in gratitude toward this young Doctor, who, by his knowledge and skill has wrought wonders, little short of miracles, in saving life and limbs.—Pike item. There are now twenty-two inmates at the county asylum. Superintendent Fettinger reports that the health of the inmates is good at the present time.
