Farmers’ Institute.

We have received a complete list of the farmers’ institutes which are to be held over the state during the coming three months. The Jasper county institutewill be held in Rensselaer, on Thursday and Friday, January 25 and 26, 1894. The speakers aiv Messrs. Voyles and Mounts, and are considered among the best workers in their line of business, and the farmers of this county will make a great mistake if they fail to attend these interesting meetings. Paste the date in your hat or chalk it on your stable door, so you won’t forget it. We give below some interesting facts concerning the farmers’ institutes of this state, which is under the direction of the Purdue University school of agriculture at Lafayette. During the season of 1889-90 farmers' institutes were held in fifty counties, and in 1800-91 in forty-one of the remaining fortytwo counties, under state auspices, and with an appropriation of <5,000 for the two years. Since that time we have had an annual appropriation of $5,000 for farmers' institutes, with which such institutes have been hold in ninety counties in 1891-92, and in eighty-nine counties in 1892-93. Indiana has thus held a greater number of farmers’ institutes for the expenditure of state funds than any other state in the Union. This result has been attained through the united efforts of our most progressive farmers and the generous support of public-spirited professional and business men of our towns and cities.

Storm Prophet Hicks’ Paper.

Many persons know of Rev. Irl R.

From the Arena.

The November Arena closes the eighth volume of this popular review, which, by the conspicuous ability of its contributors, its unequalled, fearless, and healthy reformative impulses, has become a power in our land. The November issue contains, among other brilliant papers, a noteworthy article written by the late Richard A. Proctor, in which the eminent astronomer reviews the claims of Bacon and Shakespeare at length. This paper was originally a portion of a correspondence between Mr. Proctor and his daughter, The Bacon-Shakespeare case closes in this issue. It contains verdicts from Henry Irving, Governor W. E. Russell and others. In this notable verdict twenty of the most eminent writers and critics in America and England are for Shakespeare, one votes for Bacon, and four are undecided. Rabbi Solomon Schindler contributes a very thoughtful, though rather socialistic paper, entitled “Thoughts in an Orphan Asylum.” E. P. Powell’s contribution is a strikingly interesting “Study of Thomas Paine.” Louis Frechette, the poet-laure-ate of Canada, appears in an interesting historic story entitled “LaCorrivGau.” Among other papers of special interest discussed by eminent thinkers are the fol lowing: “The Slave Power and the Money Power,” “Is Liquor Selling a Sin?” “Medical Slavery Through Legislation,” “Knowledge the Preserver of Purity,” “Gerald Massey: The Man and the Poet.” The book reviews are also a noteworthy feature of this number. Those who would keep in touch with live issues should include this Review in their list for the ensuing year. The announcements for 1894 are very interesting.

What’s The Matter.

Communicated. In last week’s Republican we noticed an editorial in which the principles of the A. P. A. were given. The editor stated that “Every person should read them that he may come to know that this organization is not such a terribly dangerous body as its enemies have claimed.” We were surprised to note the manner in which this simple statement was treated by the editor of the Sentinel. Is their anything unconstitutional, unlawful or unchristian like in any of those principles? Are they not in favor of free schools, free thought, free press and free speech? Are they not in favor of religious liberty? They are not composed of any one political party, although they may have votes cast as a unit. If they discover a man running on the Republican ticket that they deem dangerous to our country’s welfare. to be in office, they all unit to make certain, his defeat. If oue on the Democrat ticket is considered inefficient for the office he is treated in like manner. Farther than this they are not a political organization. They are acting upon the defense, all the while. Their members are found in the ranks of all political parties. Some of our very best, and prominent Amercan citizens have their names en-* rolled upon the A. P. A. list. Camps are springing up all over this Republic in, cities, hamlets and districts. A very strong lodge is soon co be organized in the northern portion of Jasper Co., and in it will be found memoers of all political parties. A prominent Democrat of Jasper Co., told me not long ago that, "A camp of the A. P. A. should oe located in every district in the United States.” Why any true patriotic American should oppose the principles of the A. P. a. is indeed a mystery not to be unveiled. We would not wonder at outlaws and anarchists, setting up a cofaplaint against unem out when we an editor of one of our county papers complain we wonder “What’s the matter.” Everett Halstead.

Violating the Constitution.

Philadelphia Press. If a single marine is landed in Honolulu to overthrow this government it will be an act of war—war made by the President in defiance of his oath and in violation of the Constitution. This no one can doubt. The only possible reason for the presence of marines in Honolulu is the protection of the life and property of American citizens. With the form of the Hawaiian government our naval forces have nothing to do, and can have nothing. Theydidnotin January. They should not now. The President has no authority to make war a m landing troops to overturn a government de facto and de jure at Honolulu will be making war. SST’Subscribe for the Pilot.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY.

Doings as Told By a Student from Rensselaer. The Board of Trustees of the University held their semi-an-nual meeting the week of Nov. 9. It takes $50,000 to pay the salaries of the instructors in the university. There was a meeting of the college presidents of Indiana at Indianapolis last Friday to consider matters of administration affairs. Several members of the faculty have accepted invitations, to lecture at teachers’ institute on the first Friday after Thanksgiving. Quite a nnmber of the students attended the Y. M. C. A. convention at Marion. They report a most profitable and pleasant time. Prof. Karsten has an aricle on the Psychological basis of of Phonetic law and Analogy in the January number of the publication of the Modern Language Association of America. This paper was read before the World’s Fair congress at Chicago. Prof. Karsten has now ready for press “Faust Studies” in three chapters. C. H. Beeson ’93 has received a position in the University as instructor in Latin.

A Warning to Trustees.

Boston Herald. The fate of embezzler Weeks is ftnotherj wholesome warning to trustees who violate the confidence reposed in them by speculating with other people’s money. He bad been entrusted with the care of fifty-four estates, aggregating more than $2,000,000 in value, mainly the sole possession of widows and orphans. He began by mixing his own money with that of his clients indiscriminately, and his losses in his business transactions were heavier than his gains; but he continued for years to pay over money to those for whom, he held funds in trust, until the inevitable collapse came and he fled the country, only to return, confess his guilt and get a sentence of ten years in Sing Sing. He was possessed of brains, education and social position in New' York city, but he made bad use of them, and he takes the consequences of his folly.

Discrediting Cleveland.

Harper's Weekly. If the Democrats party wishes to remain a strong factor in American politics. It will have to disarm that distrust by a wise treatment of the fiancial problem still to be solved, and by the fulfilment of the promises with regard to the tariff policy ‘which found so much favor with the people in the national election of 1890 and 1892. It can no longer stake its fortunes upon the esteem in which Cleveland is held, for he will not remain its leader much longer; and, besides, the prestiage of his name, too, has been impaired by his deplorable action in the Van Alen case, and by the spoils politics which his administration has been carrying on. These things have played a subordinate, although by no means unimportant, part in the recent election, but they will shew their effect when public attention is no longer diverted from them by question of immediate urgency.

Danger From Private Banks.

The opinions of some of our best statesmen: Thomas Jefferson: “I sincerely believe they are more dangerous than standing armies. Put down the banks and if this country cannot be carried through war against the most powerful enemy without loading up with debt, I know nothing bf my countrymen. Bank paper must be suppressed and the issue of circulating medium restored to the nation, to whom it belongs.” Henry Clay said: “I conceive the establshment of national banks dangerous to the safety and welfare of this republic.” * *
