It is not true that ‘■‘anything is fair in politics” and tire partisans who preach and practice that doctrine must go. — Loyaiisporl Joitrwl. ‘ Governor Gray did not issue any Thanksgiving proclamation. "Praise tl.e Lord” and “Amen" have “stuck in his throat” since the November election. The official returns show that in Whiting township in Lake county, Owen received every vote cast including Democrat, National and Prohibitionist, all of whom Lad tickets in that county’ and cast votes for their other candidates. This is the county where Dr. HatLery “opened” his campaign. Lorjtnlsport Journal. An ordinance has been proposed in Chicago to raise the saloon license in that city to SI,OOO. If it is adopted it will close out half the saloons, and deprive the liquor interest in that city of half its power and influence; on the other hand a prohibitory law in such a city is Chicago, where three fourths pf the people are opposed to prohibition, would simply mean free whiskey, in unlimited quantities. A prominent characteristic of the late ex-president was his calmness and dignity on all occasions. He never allowed himself to be ruffled or_ irritated into the performance of an act of impropriety. All the trying-Axeyatiewwvf-ftTP pv-~ ecutive were endured quietly. He was never in a flurry, boastful of his policy or doings. - No man before him ever held the office with as little apparent annoyance and weariness.—Lor/cmspor/ Journal.

The Democrats of this state who are now trying to defraud Coh Robertson. Lieutenant Governor Elect out of his office, and are loudly claiming that there is no vacancy and that Green Smith, President Pro-tem of the State Senate is the real vice-president, would never have dreamed of making or endorsing such a claim had the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor been elected. It is a damnable, dishonest and dishonorable scheme. \ Because the bn joint ballot, is democratic by a majority of two, o/the face of the returns, the Democrats are now howling that the people have voted against the return of Gen. Harlison to the United States Sen at-. The fact is, however, that on the total legislative tote in the state the /Republicans won by a majority of over 6,000; and if Gen Harrison had been a candidate before the people: against any Democrat in the state his majority would not have been less than those figures. —— , One Elliott, of South Carolina, will occupy the seat of Robert Smalls iii congress. Smalls is a loyal colored man, who rendered distinguished service to the cause □t the Union in the war of the

lebellion. Elliott is a white rebel. Smalls is a Republican. Elliott is a Democrat. The actual majority for Smalls in his district is about 14,000 votes, yet Elliott was counted in by a majority of several hundred. Elliott claims to be an honorable man, yet he will cheerfully commit this damnable | wrong, and arrogantly occupy his ' stolen seat.- Lofyuispail Journal. ‘ . ■.. I( was no mere oversight in placing Meagher, the Democratic : justice, on the ticket for the legislature, The managers were told by Democratic lawyers, at the time, that lie was ineligible, but Meagher was’disposed to kick, at soine former treatment; lie was also a lea-ling man among the laboring men, and he was put on with the of strengthening John E. Lamb, for Congress, the remark' baling me.de that the legislature. was sure to be largely Democratic anyway and the ob jection would cut. no figure. It v.’s no mere mistake of law, but a d -liberate attempt to oven ide the letter of the constitution in order to aid a pet candidate for Congress. lhe prospects of a serious hard coal famine are becoming greater every day. It is said that the original cause of the trouble was an act passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature last year, providing that no man holding stock in a railroad in that state could, at the same time, hold an interest in a coal mine. This greatly affected the interests of many wealthy coal men of that state and they are. now bolding their coal until a test case can be made in the courts. It i| also further stated that the railroad companies are in sympathy with the scheme and do all in their power to delay the shipment of the coal over their lines. ? This kind of a move may prove a temporary benefit to the coal monopolists but in the end it will probably be for them a losing game as it will result in the peo--ple forcing Congress and the various states to pass laws that -will prevent any Such outrageous schemes in the future. There is a lesson in the late election that no political party in this State can afford to ignore. The people have spoken against the policy of keeping the State treasury a secret from the public, and it is not to be thought that the Republican t.ieasurer-elect, any more than the present incumbent, can speculate with the public funds to his own enrichment The law is explicit on this point, and the honest men of Indiana are not willing that it should be violated in order that one man out of hundreds of thousands should be enriched by receiving interest on funds that are the property of the people in common. The lending of the State’s money must not be attempted by any treasurer. Men who earn their living are not willing that any man should be enriched because he happens to be entrusted with funds that he turns to his own account. The verdict has been rendered, and it will not be safe to appeal from' it or to ignore it..

The New Lodge.

Col. E. S. Wa]ker and L. B. ! Fleming, of West Lebanon, installed the officers of the newly instituted lodge of the order of the Sons of Veterans, in the.G. A. It Hall last Tuesday night. The J name and style of the lodge is ! •‘Gen. Robert H. Milroy Camp, No. 55, S. of V.” The name, Ham-! mond, first selected, was not per-; misted from the reason that another camp m the state is called by that name. The number of charter members of the camp is 32, being the largest number of i charter members of any camp in the state, yet instituted. The ‘ names and titles of the newly installed officers are as follows: J Captain. I). S. Willey. First Lieut., R. B. Armstrong. Second Lieut., O. A. Yeoman. First Sergeant, S. C. Irwin. Chaplain, H. W. Bowman. j Sergeant of guard, Win Lester. Corporal of Guard, E. W. Irwin. Color Sergeant, David Warner. Camp Guard, Arthur Hopkins. Picket Guard, Chas. Simpson, h Camp Council, Chas.

Over three tons were shipped on Monday alone. ♦ * • ♦ 'Dure is no denying the fact that Winamac is becoming a tough town. Fights, stabbing and cutting affrays are becoming altogether too numerous.

The first number of the Delphi Journal was issued by James B. Scott November 1 4, ItSSO, and it never missed its regular appearance except two weeks in the thirty-six years he was publisher. * ♦ * A meeting of some of our leading citizens was held last week in behalf of the gas well interest here. A committee was appointed and other preliminary steps taken to organize the movement, Let no effort be witheld to . make the trial a success. Of all the booms that strike cities or towns in this age the gas well leads them all. **_ _ • - The hunting party which left this city just after the election for tho wilds of Wisconsin returned on Tuesday night. Among the trophies of the chase were ten deer. One six pronged bncL weighing 20.0 popnds stolen from the party xyhile it was strungOp in the woods. — ♦ * ♦ Tha Ladies’ Literary Society of Rensselaer gave a loan art exhibition two weeks ago at which were displayed some rare specimens; ***** artistic needlework, pictures gathered from the citizens of that town. Now, this is what we call legitimate home amusement, and such an exhibition might be gotten up with profit in any town by carefully gathering the trophies from the homes of its citizens. Who will inaugurate such a treat for Delphi? A Pleasant Surprise. About seventy neighbors and friends of Aunt Margaret Babcock gathered at her residence Nov. 15th, to celebrate her seventieth birthday. She was induced by Addie Bruce to go to town in the afternoon and was kept their until had time to meet at her house and prepare supper w-hich was done in style when she came home. Supper being announced about 22 good feeders surrounded the table with Aunt Margaret at the head, when in behalf of tho friends a beautiful rocking chair was presented to her by Mrs, _«LM-AVassonimAfewwellchosen remarks. Music, both Vocal and Instrumental was furnished by the Misses Grace," Maud and Ada Daugherty added much to the enjoyment of the evening The most interesting feature of the occasion was a brave,charge made on the well loaded table, led by the gallant A. F. Griswold and followed by Such private solders as H. C. Bruce. John Chamberlain, J. M. Wasson and jr. W. Wood. The charge lasted about 4.7 minutes with terrible fury: everything tumbling both right and left, when the private soldiers began to show signs of retreating, but the pluckly little captain held the fore about 15 minutes after all had deserted him when he too reluctantly withdrew.
