Vou see the dates on the cards, showing time of growth—and the King on new ground is No. 1; not as early as the Robinson on older ground. The first three hills of the latter which I stepped up to test had three stalks in each hill, and there were nine ears on the three hills, every ear as fine as the two sent you<lo inches long). I ome . near sending the nine ears, but decided to get two of the King that you might examine and compare. The Robinson has been raised on my place now for four years and will be the only kind planted next year. Of course as we have not begun husking I can only estimate relative amounts, but it seems 'to promise at least 25 per cent more yield than the King. If you wish to use on seed list, let me know, as I can select choice seed and dry it well.

Governor Matthews has net entered aerial life to a groat extent, however. aaM Mm precedent may eras to bo changed. Mr. Mount Anally decided on a comfortable brick honcc on Collage arcane, about a mile and a half kern tho capital. Governor Matthew* live* about thro* square* from to* oopttel, aa Illinois street. It k within a*ay walking distance, but h# usually aides to aad fro in too family carriage. ♦ ♦♦ Daring the governor-elect's stay hero ha waa bead god at all hours by hungry offleoseokara. They lived with him by day and invaded tho privacy of his loom at night. One of the moat aggressive of these Mekers after gnhsraa- ' tcrial pudding waa Si Dunlap, a veteran ; of this city who has his eye fixed oa the | custodianship of the statehous*. Ho i wm • trifle more shrewd than the other j officoseekers and made himself useful as well aa ornamental by securing a carriage and driving the governor-elect to | various houses in the city that might prove suitable abodes. By that means he secured an andience with Mr. Mount that none of the others conld obtain. I When Farmer Hamrick of Danville, who is perhaps the most aggressive seeker of all after the same place, was told how Dunlap was “getting too edge’’ on him he said: “If Mr. Mount will come down to ! Danville to live I will do better than that. I will lot him have the best house in Danville free of charge and see that his railroad fare to and from the city is paid.” ft was not known whether this propel tion was submitted to the governor—•t least it had no effect and the friends of Dunlap are gleefully confident. ♦ ♦♦ Governor Mount will have quite » number of appointments to make before

Dofrooo, Charles Kaklo and Colonel J. M. Ross of thk city, and J. M. Trunk of Montgomery oounty. , ♦ ♦♦ Tho work on Governor Matthews’ message to the legislature has been interrupted by the long oontinued aad serious slokneas of Mrs. Matthews. Tho govsmor 1| able to spend only a sow hour* sash forenoon in his offloe and k frequently called homo by alarming reCi oo to her condition. His message year, awarding to hk secretary, will not bo loag aad M yet only tho boqk of kk rtomsmoudatioo* haa been mapped out. Ho will refer with pride to the Densoeratto tax law, whioh, by making tho rioh pay their full share of too taxes, hM succeeded in paying off $1,600,000 of the state debt. Under tho old law loans had to b* made continually to pay tho Interact on to* debt. No small shar* of tho credit of paying off thk largo portion of tho debt k due to the strict sapimago that Governor Matthews hM exerted to is* that the law k enforced. Tho governor will also point to to* Democratic laws of the years pMt aad will show that every groat reform k duo to Dmsooratio legislation. ♦ ♦♦ the fight over too sonatorship k growing ovary dag more interesting. As promised lost week, the managers of the MeKssa boom have given for use in these eolums an estimate of the strength whioh their candidate will poll. That asti mate k as follows; MoKsen, 87 votes; doubtful, 81 votes. Of toe doubtful MoKeen has good reason to expeot more than half. This olaim k widely at variano* with tho claims mado by tho Fairbanks poowho assert that there k only one possible way in whioh their candidate atm bo beaten, and that k by a combination of Ml of tho other candidates, whioh contemplates the ability of MoKeen to throw hk support solidly for any candidate that ho desires. It is assorted by thorn that ho does not have this strength. If the Republicans of northern Indiana had a full appreciation of their just dues, neithsr Fairbanks nor MoKeen would be elected senator this year. During all the senatorial years that have elapsed sinoe the admission of the state but four senators have been selected from north of this city. They were John Pettit of Lafayette, who served six years; General John Tipton of Logansport, who served eight years; Daniel D. Pratt of Logansport, who served six years, and Graham N. Fitch of Logansport, who also served six yearsOf the senatorial years which have rightfully belonged to the Republicans the party in the northern hMf of Indiana Hm had bat one senator (Mr. Pratt of Logansport), aad this despite the fact that three-fourths of the Republican vote of the state lies in that section. They have had but three state librarians, and m a general thing the members of the hospital aad peaM boards for too northern institutions or* selected from south of the Indianapolis line. Of too three directors of the northern prison aow in office two live in the southern part of the state. W. H. Calkins was the only Republican candidate for governor selected in many years from tho northern half of Indiana and, in bnef, ia all of the distributions of •flies the Republicans of northern Indiana have uniformly been left out in the cold. There ar* two reoeptive candidates for senator m the northern part of the state, Judge John H. Baker auu R. 8. Taylor of Fort Wayne, and tho feeling of discontent among northern Indiana Republicans is growing so great that one or the other of these men may create a surprise xn the role of a dark hone. ❖ ❖❖ It is oouceded that Harry Psttit of Wabash has developed into the strongest aspirant for speaker during the past week. Pettit made a record in the last house which is redounding to his benefit, B. M. Willoughby is perhaps his chief competitor as the situation now stands. Mr. Linck of Madison is a strong friend of General Harrison’s and his followers are looking for help from that source. He waa made internal revenue collector | by President Harrison and be possesses an inherent ability that may make him a factor in the race before it ends. ❖ ❖ ❖ Lieutenant Governor Haggard has practioally made rp the list of senate committees. It is conceded that the ' chairmanship of the judiciary committee, which is the most important of ail, will fall to one of three senators—Shively of Richmond, Newby of Knightstown or Lafollette of Portland. This committee handles more business than ! all the other committees combined, and there will be an effort this year to increase tho number of members from 7to 11. The chairman of the education committee will probably be H. O. Duncan of Bloomington.
