! BIG AHD BROAD FLAR8 HON. ELI MARVIN’S IDEA OF INDIANA’S CENTENNIAL. Tb4 Greatest Opportunity Tor an Exhibition of State Prtite—Views Regarding the Great Pruject by Hon. 0. T. Doxey and Commissioner Jackson. f The opportunity afforded by the act of the last legislature in creating a commission to devise plans for the proper observance of the one hnndjredth anniversary of, the formation of Ludi- j aim into a territory cannot be oyeresti- j mated,” says Hon. Eli Marvin of Frank* fort, one of the Indiana Centennial commissioners. “It is not unreasonable to assume that the people of the state do not wish it to pass by without duo recognition. Indiana has resources of; such variety and in such limitless quantity that her people need not be ashamed to exhibit them—neither are they ashamed to do so. What has been accomplished in a hundred years should fill every citizen with pride of the past and give zeal and enthusiasm for the future. An exposition should be held | that wouja place before the world tho history and development of our state— and while it should be distinctively Hoosier, in my opinion it ought to be big enough and broad enough in its character, as it certainly would be attractive enough in exhibits, to deserve and command the attention and patronage of a large pier cent of tho more densely populated section of our mid-continent. The mime Hoosier, while doubtless originally given in derision, has been reflnod and purified by the consecrations and sacrifices, both in war and peaoo, of those to whom it applied, until it is no longer used as a reproach, but rather as a synonym for broad-mindedness, liberality, push, energy—in short, all that (?oes to nmko up a people who lead, not follow, in an advanced' civilization. Indiana, the Hoosier state, is today the best evidence of this: In agriculture, hjer farms are the very 'garden spots’ of the world, while her mines, foundries, manufactories, railroads and varied industries,make a combination for wealthproduciug that is great and is growing greater every year. 'In the fields of

statesmanship, literature and education, there is, as leodora, an array ‘of honorable men and women not a few,’ wliile the magnifioent and substantial Sublie school system that reaohes to the ireshhold of the humblest oitizen and (he numerous colleges and universities (hat give opportunity for higher training, are undoubted assurances that intelligence and progressiveness are to be leading characteristics of the future citizen. Then with such a people as Compose the population of Indiana and with such resources as she has, why not j have an'exposition in 1900 that will place in juxtaposition the past and the present ? 1 believe the people want it— will be benefitted and oncourged by it, and therefore are willing to provide ample means for it.” ON A SCALE THAT WILL MARK AN £POCQ, *■' Hon. Charles T. Doxey of Anderson, One of the commissioners from the Seventh district, expresses himself as heartily in favor of celebrating the centennial anniversary of the organization jbf Indiana territory, and cannot conceive of a more fitting plan for its proper observance than tho holding of a mammoth exposition. “It will,” he says, “give the various industries of our state au opportunity to show the great advancement that has been made siiicQ Indiana commenced her territorial existence. Other states have observed similar events, and have found them to be benefioial to almost every branch of industry. It will stimulate trade, encourage progressive competition, educate (lie people, advertise our natural resources and demonstrate to the world that from an industrial standpoint, Indiana is second to none. It should be | conducted on such a scale that it will mark an epoch not only in the history of the state, but in the history of the United States. We have everything in readiness for such an exposition except the place and the date fixed. Let the legislature prepare a place and fix a date; and our people1, who have been waiting for such au opportunity, will do the rest.”

EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL PROGRESS. Commissioner Jackson of Greenfield . believes the enterprise is. one which should be entered into with a spirit and energy such as has characterized the Progress and development of the state uriug tho century. “Iu doing this,” he says, “I think we should not lose sight of tho educational and social progress which has been made by the citizens of our state. The material advancement and general businoss conditions can be very readily and properly brought into prominence, for the business institutions of the state will certainly be glad to oo-operate in this enterprise. I am not prepared to enter into any details concerning the colebra-. tion, but I believe the patriotism of our citizens and their pride in the state will cause them to render the commission the necessary assistance to successfully carry out any plan which they may< adopt. While there is considerable time before the date of the celebration, yet I am of the opinion that definite work should be done in the near future in the way of determining the general plan and arranging the details, so far as expedient and possible at this time. In no other way can the object and pleasure of the celebration be so forcibly impressed upon the minds of the people and their co-operation secured.” TURKEY IN TROUBLE.

It looks as if Turkey was npar a very dangerous crisis and was trembling on the verge of dissolution. —-Boston G lobe. It is almost beyond belief that the Christian nations of Europe, can allow this sort or a government to continue in existence. —Philadelphia Press. The reports from Turkey continue to be oheering, for they tell of disorder, riot and slaughter, and the worse things get the more sharp and decisive must be the Interference foreign powers.—Rochester Post-Express.

WJUUW^M ■!A.lWflJSIiy!BBLl?L JLIBBg CURRENCY REFORM. WILL BE THE KEYNOTE OF CARLISLE'S ANNUAL REPORT. Will Strontlf BMomnrad the Retirement of All Ofeenboeke—Will Adrian m Notional Banking System Baaed oa the "Baltimore Plan." Currency reform will be again the keynote of the annual report of Secretary Carlisle to congress, as it was last year. Changes in the financial situation and in the stated public opinion have since occurred which will justify changes in the details of the recommendations then made, but the easential features will be the same. ▲ currency based upon the quick assets of the banks rather than ugpn evidences of public debt or upon government credit will be the important change of existing law which will be again recommended. The most radical departure from the recommendations of last year will be in regard to greenbacks. Secretary Carlisle has never had but one opinion of the greenback legal tender cur-rency,-and he would gladly have favored its absolute retirement last year. Some doubt was thon felt in administration ciroles whether pnblio opinion would sustain a plan for issuing bonds and converting a noninterest bearing into an interest bearing debt The losson of the gold drain ol last winter, however, with the evidence of the expense imposed upon the country to maintain the gold reserve, and tho assurances which have been received from eminent studeuts of finance, now induce the belief in the secretary’s mind that publio opinion is ripening toward the absolute retiremout of the government from the banking business, and the recommendation will now be made without qualification that the greenbacks bo retired.

Secretary Carlisle will not nmcb from recommending a bond issue for this purpose. It may bo advisable to provide for the retirement of a portion of the amount outstanding from the surplus revenue, and the retirement, in any case, will be only gradual The treasury already contains $50,443,985 in the old legal tenders, besides $25,584,965 in the notes issued under the Sherman law. These might be canceled tomorrow and deducted from theoash balance if authority were given by congress. The revenue may not be adequate in the immediate future to redeem many notes from the surplus, but it is likely to increase as time passes, even if there is no change in existing revenue l&ws. The retirement of a few millions a month might be easily arranged without large issues of bonds wben a surplus again began to accumulate in the treasury. It is recognized that the retirement of the greenbacks must be gradual because of the necessity of putting something in their place. It is no part of the plan of Secretary Carlisle to make such a violent contraction of the currency as would occur if the greenbacks were retired and uo other currency substituted. He will therefore renew the recommendations of last year that congress authorize the issue of bank notes upon the general assets of the banks up to a fixed percentage of their capital stock and secured further by a safety fund made up by small contributions from all the banks. The secretary has not yet begun the actual writing of his report, and some details in the plan of last year may be subjected to modification. The abandonment of tho proposal that greenbacks should constitute 80 per cent of the security for bank notes would in itsqlf, it is assorted at the treasury, overcome much of the hostility then displayed to the secretary’s plan. Perhaps the strongest opposition from the New York bankers was based upon the unlimited liability imposed upon all the banks for the maintonanco of the safety fund. It was objected that many small banks might be formed in certain sections which would quickly collapse, without valuable assets, and impose a strain upon the safety fund, which would be a heavy tax upon the stronger banks, even if it did not imperil their credit. The history of nearly every banking system in the world under modern conditions has demonstrated Secretary Carlisle’s claim that the assets of failed banks have nearly always been adequate to pay their notes, even where there was no safety fund, so that the danger is regarded by him as purely sentimental, but some modification which will limit the per oent of liability of the solvent bank will probably not be objectionable to him. There is pot much hope in administration circles that a satisfactory cur.roncy bill will be passed by the Republican congress. There is no desire to make the matter a party issue, and many prominent Republicans are known to favor a banking currency. There has been more of a disposition in their ranks, however, than among Democrats to defend the greenback as a heritage of the war. Something of the same sentiment has prevailed toward the national banking system and has led to efforts to perpetuate it ip a modified form by basing circdlation upon state and munioi

pal securities. If Joseph H. Walker of Worcester is chairman of the house committee on banking, some measure for a banking currency may be passed through the house, but it is doubtful whether it can pass the senate, or whether it will be of such character as to meet the approval of President Cleveland. It is the purpose of the administration to keep the issue of currency reform at the front until satisfactory action can | be secured, as in the case/ of the tariff issue.—Boston Herald.
