The Nicaragua treaty has been defeated. It came to a vote iu the Senate, one day last week, and failed, by one or two votes, of retviving the necessaiy two-thirds vote. The opposition to it came, principally, from the unpatriotic •md unreconstructed Southern Senators. It is some pleasure to record the fact that O'Donovan Rossa. the chief instigator and advisor of the dynamiters in their policy of murder and destruction, has been treated to a dose of his otvn medicine. He was shot down in The streets of New York last Monday, by an Englishwoman who gave the name of ,Ysenlt Dudley. The wound is in his back, but we are sorry to say it is not likely to prove fatal. In response to the recoinmendatiou of Gov. Porter, and the general demand of the people of the state, the Legislature ordered an investigation into State Treasurer Cooper's method of doing business, and Mndliug the moneys df the State. The majority of the investigating committee were political friends of Cooper* and their investigation was a wicked and shameful farce —so gross and glaring, in fact, that even the Indianapolis Sentinel is disgusted and demands a full investigation.

There is no possible hope for prohibition in Indiana, very soon, nor even for a local option law; in such case we believe all truly wise temperance people will favor the high license law, now before the Estate Legislature. High license is no longer an experiment. It has-been tried for years, and in many places, and always and everywhere, with 'beneficial results. In our neighboring state of Illinois, after the plan had been thoroughly tried, in many towns and cities, it was adopted as the law of the state. That law, although it was defective in that, instead of making the minimum license fee SSOO, as it should have done, and allowed malt liquor licenses to be taken for $l5O, has accomplished excellent results.

t 'Tlie bill lately introduced in the State Senate by Senator Hilligass, of Huntington, -gerrymandering the congressional districts of the state, in the interests oE the democrats, merits the opposition oE all good men oE every party, on account oE its flagrant and palpable inequalities and its evident partisan motive. Under the provisions of the bill, it is asserted tint *ix of the congressional districts of the state will have a total vote of 252,511, while the other seven districts have but 247,913 votes. The new 13th district will contain 42,868 voters, while the 4th will have but 30,560. The evident purpose of the bill being to make as many reliably democratic districts as possible, of course It was the policy of its authors to got as many strong republican counties into the same districts as they could* With this end in view the bill takes Porter and Lake counties from the 10th district and gives them to the 13th and in ‘their place adds Warren county, with its great republican majority, to the 10th . The 10th is thus to * bo one of the three reliably reimbhcan districts of the state. The bill, though grossly unjust, is said to have the approval of *the democratic state central Committee; although it is understood that ft will not receive the 'imfced .support |f the democrats Si the Legislature, and is sure of ’■lie solid opposition of the repub--9

A vague but soul-harrowing rumor has floated pp froth Indianapolis. It is to the effect that a cooniess has grown up between those political Siamese twins, Hoover a fid Xowels, whose love for each other heretofore lias been of a character to discount David and Jonathan and throw Damon and Pj thias dear into the shade. According to the story both are candidates for appointment as Indian Agents, —Hoover to Indian Territory and Now-els to Dakota—and as there is no likelihood of more than one such appointment coming to Jasper county, and as both parties are working hard for the support of the leading democrat! of the state, their hearts no longer beat as one, as in the halcyon days of yore 1 .

The Rensselaer Republican says that public opinion, is somewhat divided as to the justice of P artner's sentence, but that a majority feel that Judge Ward has performed his entire duty in the matter, and that nothing less would have been a vindication of justice. In the light of the evidence and confession of the murderer, published in the Republican, we cannot see liow anything less than the death sentence would have been consistent with the law. Executive clemency alone yould save the guilty wretch from the extreme penalty fixed for such a crime.—Good land Herald. If we understand the law correctly, the Herald is in error in intimating that in the case of Wartner none but the death penalty could have been indicted consistently with such law. — In cases where an accused person pleads guilty to murder in the first de-. gree, the law of the state says that the court must sentence him to imprisonment for life, or to death by hanging, thus leaving to the discretion of the presiding judge the duty of determining Whether the .higher or the lower penalty shall be iniiicted.
