The legislature of lowa has voted to submit the prohibition petition to the people for ratification or rejection. Let the coming legislature of Indiana do the same. ' The Republican press of Indiana are almost unanimously in favor of the submission to the people of the proposed prohibition amendment to our constitution, and the Democratic press vice versa. One would very naturally infer, from reading Mattingly’s valedictory and Noyer’s salutatory, in the Rochester Republican, that a brotherly affection did not exivt between these knights of the pon and scissors. The Indianapolis Journal pays the following high compliment to tho country press of Indiana: “There has been a marked advance in the character of the country newspaper of the State within the past tea or fifteen years. It has more than kept pace with the improvement in city journalism. Connected with these papers there is nearly always a completely equipped printing office. A community is largely judged by its papers. A publisher who has invested his time and means in a good printing establishment, and in putting in his energy, enterprise and ability in the publication of a credible newspaper, is entitled to the generous support of the people whose interests he is espousing, and with whose prosperity he is identified. There can be nothing higher than the obligations resting upon every community to accord full support to its local press. That is the way to make it better. Support your own paper first.”

On the subject of gambling, which is becoming a mania in Rensselaer, the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “Talk about the terrible struggles of the inebriate or the victims of the opium habit! What! can exceed the writhings and torment of one with a passion for gaming? The story of a victim of this passion recounted in Saturday's paper, is thrilling in the extreme, and we have assurances that it is perfectly true. After spending the money scraped together by a fond mother, after going hungry ; and half naked that a few dimes might bo taken to a faro bank, then * the victim, who, to keep him from freezing, has been furnished with ix new suit and overcoat by a pitying friend, actually sneaks out in the night, pawns these clothes, and with the money rushes off to the fatal table.* And this is continued in every possible phrase, until disgust and. despair drives the miserable wretch to attempt suicide. What devil of torment and destruction can surpass the fiend that beckons the victim to the gambling house?” There are those in liens--nlaer who know that the above picture is not overdrawn, but that it is a stem reality drawn from aclual life. Young man! Beware of the gaming table! * j\fi\ R. ,J. Sherwin, of .Concord, N. H<, wiitss: “I have a poo l old aunt who keeps house or wife ;i nd baoy and I. Of late rle has been groaning and compkining. Our family doctor could not Ind «iut what ailed her, and yet often i he would keep her bed for several • ays.

Exit Quite ail— lt is decreed that the assassin of tli President shall die. The story of his trial | and condemnation is told in a fascinating and truthful way in the “Life and Trial of Giteau,” by John Clark Ridpath. This work, just issued by Jones Brothers & Co., of Cincinnati, Chicago, and Kansas City, is by far the most complete ami dispassionate account yrverj published. The book wilHuivemn enormous sale. It is issued as a separate work and also a supplement to the “Life and of Garfield,” by the same author. The latter book is thus swelled to a splendid volume of ! 800 pages, in whish the grandeur ! and glory of Garfield’s life are strangely contrasted with the infamy of his murderer. TheGuiteau history is of itself worth the full price of the book in which it appears.
