There seems to be quite a dispute between the states as to which has had the most worthless legislature this winter. As lor our own we can say in its favor it, in the line of duty, did three things, viz.: met, passed a dog law, and adjourned.

The auditor of Henry county, who refused to allow the editor of the Newcastle Democrat access to his books, has been directed by the judge of the Henry county circuit court to open the books for the inspection of the public.

In an administrators settlement the Pilot was last week again recognized by the court, as a newspaper. Tabor and Faris will please remember this. Martindale, we are satisfied, needs no posting on this subject, for he is disposed to do about right, if given half a chance.

The sheriffs of the state met last week in Indianapolis and took steps to test the constitutionality of the fee and salary law. These sheriffs last fall accepted nominations, filled their bonds, and entered upon the discharge of the duties of their offices fully knowing what their salaries would be. Now they come forward and claim they cannot live upon their salaries, yet they have money to go into court and fight this law: tight this contract made between them and the people. Gentlemen, if the pay is too small, resign.

Everywhere the Populist campaign of education goes on. The money power failed in their effort to repeat the Sherman silver law. and attempt to have the bonded debt increased, are now consulting as to some other attack upon the rights and interests of the people. Workers, don’t flatter yourselves that the hungry and thieving hordes of Wall, Beacon and Threadneedle streets are driven from the field, rar from it. they have only retired for consultation as to when, where and how to make another attach-. They want plunder and are ravenous as starving wolves.

The Chicago Tribune in its war on the faddists, whatever that may be. says: ‘-That the children of the working classes have not time to devote to these studies, as they must leave scnooi at twelve to fourteen, years to aid their parents in making a living.” Ah, old Trib., you do find it necessary to speak ol conditions as they are occasionally. Did it never occur to ypur sin stcep’ed'arid unpatriotic soul, that children robbed o' all childish joys and pleasures. and largely of Intellectual opportunities and forced into the iaciories at twelve without the necessary menial training, can never make such citizens as a republic needs, but are so many more added to that horde who will overthrow the republic at no distant day. Cleveland has informed that m al’art of the mangy horde that is besieging Washington, that were papsuckers during the first term, that there are no crumbs for them, that the past four years should have been devoted to looking up and getting into some, harness other than politics. That would be just the thing if it .came from any other source,

but how does it sound and look, coining from one of the most persistent office seekers that ever cursed any country, a man that has stood for almost every office from supervisor up and three times for the presidency, twice after he had pronounced against a second term. Will Grover please inform us, and we have no assurance that he is satisfied yet, why it is just the proper thing for hjm to have office all the while, and yet so ; unbecoming and reprehensible I for the common herd to desire a second pull. The truth is. Grover don’t care a continental who has office or how often. It is one of the these tricks that he calls surprises, and that he so often resorts to that he may keep public attention centered on himself. His Gresham move was another and a most unsuccessful one. Grover is a political fraud of the first water, and the country is not near done with him yet. All the arts of the wily demagogue will continue to be played by him. Keep your eye on Grover, he is chief bugleman in a big performance.

A Pretty Pickle.

The Indianapolis Sentinel, of a recent dale, while discussing the lawless proceedings of the late Indiana legislature, uttered the following note of warning: “It is not a question of the passage or failure of any measure. It is a question of maintaining free government, and no question citn be more important to any community than that.”

With a full k nowledge of the disreputable gang of Democratic legislative nominees last year, the nomination and election of such hoodlums as would surely eventuate in the threatening condition above described, the Sentinel threw its powerful influence in favor of the election of such men as Fippen and Roby Johnson over such men as Burkhart. all under the pleas of party necessity to save the Indiana senatorship to such an old nincompoop as Turpie. After years of blind servility to party necessity, that threatens the people with the loss of their liberties, the Sentinel tries to creep from under the threatened ruins and wash its hands of all blame. You are right, Mr. Sentinel, the question you raise is a pertinent one, and it is upon us now, and you, by blind party fealty are more to blame than any other party in Indiana, unless it is your twin brother, the Journal. The threatened danger can only be averted by the relegation of all old parties, and old party leaders to merited oblivion, and the substitution of new parties and new men, who will seek reward in the welfare of the state and the praise of good men, instead of reward in boodle, Urawn i from thieving corporations by threatened blackmail legislation. Sentinel, by your own confession you deserve to be kicked.

Changes in the School Law.

Mouticello Democrat. The following are some of the changes made by the last legislature in the school law: House bill No. 573 provides that there be a levy of 13f cents on each SIOO of taxable property, and 50 cents on each poll, to be used for a general school fund. House bill No. 91 provides that no township trustee shall employ a teacher to teach in any school of the township if the term does not begin before the expiration of the term of office of such trustee.

House bill No. 168 provides that all township officers shall be elected on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and every four years thereafter. Also, that the incumbents continue to hold their offices until the first Monday of August, 1895. House bill No. 223 provides that all school funds shall be loaned at 6 per cent, after the taking effect of this act. Senate bill No. 194 provides that all property in territory annexed to any city or town, which property was used and owned by the school township adjoin ing such town or city for school purposes, shall by such annexation become the property of such town or city in fee simple, and the township trustee is required at once to make a deed of such property to the school corporation of such town or pity. Senate bill No. 148 provides that before any township trustee can change the location of a school building lie must file an application with Mie county superintendent, in which he sets forth the reasons for such’ change and indicates the site to which the proposed change is to be made. The permit must be signed by a majority of the patrons interested. days prior to the proposed change the trustee must post notices in five public places, three of which notices must be in the vicinity of the house to be removed. When the county superintendent is satisfied that the majority of the patrons of the particular school desire it, he may grant the order.

House bill No. 189 provides for the return to the county and itor of unexpended balance of the state tuition revenue on the first Monday in July of each year. The state’s tuition revenue apportioned in June (next) is not to be considered as unexpended balance for the reason that it is to be used for the school year of 1893, ’94, which begins on the first Monday in July. See sec. 4499. It cannot be used for the school year 1892-3.

CATHOLIC NOTES.

Last Sunday the feast of the Resurrection was celebrated with the usual solemnity in St. Augustine’s church. The altars had been beautifully decorated by the ladies of the congregation. The high altar presented a beautiful appearance with the lights of the white tapers mingled with the blossoms of Easter lilies and carnations. An elaborate musical program was rendered by the choir. The Rev. Jno. Nageleisen preached the sermon on the “Mystery of the Resurrection.” Rev. Stephens, of San Pierre, conducted the service in the Indian school on Easter morning. The members of St. Aloysius Sodality will meet next Sunday after Vespers. “There is a salve for every wound.” We refer to DeWitt’s Witch Haze Salve, cures burns, bruises, cuts, indolent sores, as a local application in the nostrils it cures catarrh, and always cures piles.

COURT NOTES.

The case of the State of Indiana vs. Frank Stone, on the charge of inducing minors to gamble, was dismissed. Edward Phalon was found innocent by a jury of the charge of larceny. He proved that he had bought the log chain which he was accused of stealing, of another party. In the case of Louis A. Freel vs. E. G. Warren et al. the case was decided in plaintiff’s favor. Freel lives in DeMotte and at the March term of commissioners’ court asked for a liquor license to sell liquor in that towm. Warren et al remonstrated and the license was refused. An appeal was taken to the circuit court, with the above result. Freel will now serve the thirsty of De Motte in "less quantities than a quart.” The costs of the case, which is considerable, will have to be paid by the remonstrants.

State ex rel Emma J. Wamshar vs. Frank Clinton, bastardy, dismissed for want of prosecution. Philip Balsar was granted a divorce from his wife Margaret, on the grounds of cruel treatment.

Robert Swaim said it would be impossible to go to heaven if he had to live with his wife Maria, as it was impossible to live with her and be a christian. The judge held that as plaintiff was very old and preferred heaven to his wife, the divorce would be granted. Anna V. Ball, according to the evidence, cruelly slapped her husband, Cyrus, and for that reason is now a grass widow, as the judge granted the decree prayed for by Cyrus.

The Smithville Sittings.

The following items are clipped from last week’s edition of the Siftings: Social News.—Jake Grassmown, who has been confined to his home on account of being without footwear, appeared on the avenue the other day with a fine pair of shoes, obtained by subscription raised by the Siftings. We will not let the townspeople know how you got them, Jake, but we are glad to see you about once more.

Miss Maggie Owngood, who gained considerable noteriety as a pickpocket at the World’s Fair, has been entertaining on a large scale during the week. Miss Owngood was garnished with several valuable diamonds. The sixth annual ball of the United Grave Diggers’ Association will be held next Monday evening, in Upec Hall. To make the affair as enjoyable as possible, seven men will be hung in the cellar during intermission. Obituary.—Mr. James L. Mahoney, an esteemed citizen, passed to the other place Wednesday afternoon in time to reach there before the horned gatekeeper closed business for the day. James Larkin Mahoney was well known in Smithville as a manufacturer of flour and oats, and was formerly the organ pumper in Holy Sabbath church. He also held the office of county jailer, and after borrowing a large sum of money from a wealthy prisoner, by force, whom he had under his care, left the town for his health, it is claimed. He returned about a month ago and was warmly received by a delegation of citizens and a rope. Shortly after he complained of a throat trouble, from which he died. Mahoney will be planted Saturday, if the weather is fair, without ceremony. He leaves a widow, who left three years ago and is prospering in Boston. May his ashes be whiter than those from a poor cigar. Editorials—We received a ticket to attend a ball the other night, but on account of being up to our eyes in business, we assigned a young man from the press room to write it up. In another column will be found the article. We honestly hope that Miss Mary Ryan, whose dress was described as resembling an express wagon in colors, will not hire Pete Brown, the criminal, to shoot us, or do we wish Miss Nellie Owens to feel bad because the article says that she was the missing link between a bull dog and a hippopotamus; and if those people who were shown up in their right color, because they wore costly jewelry, supposed to have been stolen, and known to have been, will call at our office, we will, for a certain sum retract several statements made in the article. The young man has left town, but we are in favor of thinking that his story struck the nail square on the head.

Dr. Miles Medical Co,, Elkhart, Ind. Gentlemen : I take pleasure in informing yon of the very beneficial results which have followed the use of DR. MILES' RESTORATIVE NERVINE in the case of myself and wife. For a year I was subject to a distressing pain at the base of the brain and upper portion of the spinal cord. I lost flesh and was greatly troubled with sleeplessness. Your Nervine was highly recommended to me. My case had been so obstinate that I had no confidence in the efficacy of any medicine. Yet as a last resort I consented to give it a trial. Much to my surprise, I experienced marked benefit; my sleeplessness disappeared; my headache was removed; my spirits and general health grealy improved. I SOON GAINED TWENTY POUNDS. ALL THIS OCCURRED AFTER LEARNED AND WELL KNOWN PHYSICIANS HAD FAILED. My wife is taking the Nervine with the best of results. LOUIS D. VANDERVERE. Sold on a Positive Guarantee. DR.
