The apportionment law for legislalive purposes passed at the last session of the legislature will probably tested In the supreme court. The couuty superintendents will test the law enacted by the last legislature. In fact about all the laws pnacted are to be tested in the ejoprenae oourt. .IfAHUfACTURERS are raising wages whenever asked.

Packard of New Albany, hfs been appointed as a member of the monument regents Jo fill the yaoancy paused by the resignation ot Gen. Lew Wallace. Wheat is. going right up tp the top notch. At the present time the price is hovering mighty close to eighty cents, and our readers should not be supprised if it reaches $1.00 before the 4th of July. The good old harvest times are coming. The republicans want Governor Matthews jto call an extra session of the legislature. Both houses were overwhelmingly republican, and the laws enacted were carefully looked |fter by the party managers. The pepple don't want it. They've had enough. .j

The supreme court seems to be taking a hand in helping to suppress gambling. They now ' make the directors of fair associations liable to fine and imprisonment for allowing gambling on the fair grounds. This is another step toward stamping out gambling. _ The supreme court of Indiana pver-ruled the motion made by me attorney-general for a modification t>f the opinion In the fee and salary case. ijThis cuts off all relief for county treasurers, who can only receive such pay as is allowed them by thp county com ini esi oners. The republican county officials are kicking on the laws euacted by the republican legislature. Gentlemen; you have no kick coming to you and you should serve the people for the fpel alloyred vou by the law. No extra allowances should be made j»y county commissioners as has been #one. Take your medicine, even if ft is | bitter dose.

■' IndianaTrannn Meet. Twenty-fire county treuonrf met At Indianapolis last week end .discussed the complications caused $y the efitorVi to enact a new tee and •Alary law. Several suits involving questions governing the settlements of county treasurers with the state treasurer tad also regulating the compensation of the officers have been passed upon by the higher.courts, and hare only served, the treasurers say, to increase their confusion. It is the purpose to hare a suit brought in the name of the treasurer of Vigo county which will Settle definitely what the treasurers want to know- This suit will l>e brought by John E. Lamb and will present to the court the question whether the repealing clausa of the law of 1891, declared unconstitutional as to sheriffs and treasurers, did not fall with that portion of the law so far as treasurers and sheriffs are concerned. The treasurers hold that they should settle uuder the law of 1879, which the repealing clause they contend did not repeal. The supreme court in its )aet decision held that the act of 1891 was unconstitutional, and the attorney-general has writteu an opinion based on that decision holding that the Jaw of 1879 was repealed. Only about half the counties hare made their annual May settlement with the state, and about twenty counties, it is announced, will refuse to set tle unless they are allowed to do so under the act pf 1879. This the state auditor will not permit. The governor is still undecided whether he will call a special session of the legislature to consider this question and the suppression of Roby.

Hox. Walter Q Gresham, secretary of state iu President Cleveland’s cabinet, died early Tuesday morning of pleurisay with which he had been afflicted for the past two or three weeks. Judge Gresham was one of Indiana’s prominent citizens and who has been honored with high official places in government affairs. He was secretary of the treasury and secretary of the postoffice portfolio duriug President Arthur’s administration and at the last Inauguration of Cleyeland was made secretary of state. He was a talented man and in government affairs was one of the best informed men in the country. Up to a fewyears ago he had always affiliated with the republican party, and upou frequent occasions he was spoken of as a candidate for the presidency on that ticket. During, the campaign of 92 he worked aud cast his vote tor the democratic tipket. He w%3 born in Harrison county in 1832. l|e was a major-general in the late rebellion aud ft as a gallaut and brave soldief. At the time of geiug to press op these pages no arrangements h$d been made tor the funeral. There seems to be some taUt against the building1 of a bridge across White river near Harry mao’s ferrv between Daviess and Pike counties, and near the Dubois county line. Several representative farmers of the township say that it will be nearly as far to the bridge as it would be to Washington. They are of the opinion that the bridge if built should, span White river at Highbanks, where it would benefit a larger percent of the people of the towndhip. The commissioners meet next week when plans and specifications will* be presented for approval or Rejection by the board as they see fit.

; ' News from Indianapolis is to the effect that Governor Matthews will not call an extra session of the legislature to remedy the manifold and manifest blunders of the fee and salary taw exacted at the last session. The bill passed was prepared by a committee, considered in caucus and i^f^with the approval of the majority and if it is defective as it Is, will have to stand until the people elect another legislature. The Times-Post is the name of the new democratic dully at Ft. Wayne. Thcr paper is ably edited and managed and will advocate old-time democracy and a 16 to 1 coinage act. Long live the T- P-» And may it have a strong bearing with the Allen county democracy. Where They Bide to Witt. Wjten you see races in a circus hippodrome, the outcome of which is so plainly a foregone conclusion that the whole affair jjs tame, all the iuterest is takeu out. But when you see the faces of tjie Great Wallace Sh?ws Jt is different. Mr. Wallace fines any contestant who does not ride or drive to win. The rivalry is as great as It is on the turf. Inhere is no sham about these j*t"e«. Prises are awarded at the end of the.seasou to contestants who have the nighest number ot winnings. At Washington ,Juue 15th.

A General Sefceletd for Preeldeal From i man who stands ia the /root rank of southern democracy and among the uncompromising advocates of free coinage ot silver it ia learned positively that Gea. Schofield Is in grooming for thedemocrstio presidential nomination on the silver question says a special to the St. Louis Republic. The general came south at the earnest solicitation of General doe Wheeler, of Alabama, who ia yesrf high in party councils throughout the south and a leader of leaders la ht« own section- The fact that Schofield ia an uncompromising advocate of the free coinage of silver, a life-long democrat, a western tnan; exceedingly popular with the soldiers of the north and well thought of by the ex-coufederates, are the claims upon which ho will be entered in the race. He went to Memphis and he came to Houston to become known I personally to the thousands of ex-con-federate veterans from everv cross- ; roads sections of the south who haye assembled at those places in the last two weeks. The Republic correspondent saw Gen. Schofield and sought to interview him. A prompt denial was made hut it was so made that it might have been taken as an affirmative. The point blank question as to whether he was a candidate remains un&uswered, as the geuerti was surrounded by old confederates, who gave h)m very little time to talk.& It is now believed that Speaker Crisp referred to General Scofield when he alluded to a “western mau with a war record.”

Dollar Wheat. Speculators are completely lost on the wheat market now. They do not know what to do. The way wheat has bepn going up the past week is taking their breath. The truth is that all estimates as to the surplus o! wheat in this country as given lately are practically worthless. Before wheat was fed to cattle and hogs the estimate of the surplus was reason* able accurate; but since farmers have been feeding this cereal to cattle, the estimates amount to nothing. It was comparatively easy for a government reporter to figure out the number of bushels raised; and deduct from the number sown and the number of bushels used by 7ft000,000 people. But when the surplus left after these deductions was broken into and fed tb hogs the man who makes government estimates got into deep water. There was no way for him to find out how much had been used for the latter purpose. Take for iustance the estimate on Indiana. It is reportod that 50,000 bushels of the surplus only have been fed to tbo cattle and hogs; when in fact the amount ought to be placed at from 1,000,000 to 2,000,00Q bpshels. From careful iuquiry we fiud this (Daviess) county alone has consumed in this way between 25,000 and 90,000 bushels of her surplus wheat. Three large wheat growers iu the county alone used 800 bushels each of their surplus for feeding purposes because of the low price. So with wheat jumped up in price at the rate of two cents a day, the new crop more than half destroyed by the frost, and millions of bushels of the supposed surplus disposed of for feeding purposes, the prospect is splendid for the country to agaiu see dollar wheat, and that soon.—Washington Democrat
