The President's message appears iulullAHi our insitle p.;g a very prolix document. Judge Gresham has just rendered a very important decision, in Chicago, by virtue of which all the.lines of the Wabash railway system will be placed in the hands of receive is of the Judges own sele cion. The United States grand jury, nt Indianapolis, having grossly failed to do its duty, by not indicting the scoundrels who altered the election returns in that city, proreedingS' for conspiracy against them have been begun before L ni- • t-d States Commissioner, Ann l»ujen. Whatever opinions may be held as to the justifiability of Blaine’s iffront to Mr. Edmunds at Arthur's funeral, there can scarcely beTwcF ipinions as to the unwisdom of the act from a political point of view. Tt can ma keno £r ien ds lor Bh> in e among those who were already unfriendlv and on the other, hand it -v 111 certainly jnmke him someeneTiTies. and in quarters where he most needed friends. It is our opinion t 1... ’ th? shallow gas wells that have lately been discovered in some portions of White and Benton counties will hot prove permanent in their aeU.iu in their flow after a few months or years, and ultimately cease entirely. This has alwavs been the result heretofore, in shallow wells in fitherilociilities, notably in some parts of lowa, and as before remarked, we believe they will re-‘-alt in the same way in this state.

Next Legislature on the Liquor Question.

I t. Wayne Gazette. „> . '” r Just what shape legislation Trill take in the next legislature it is now impossible to say; but we doubt not a local option law will !.e tendered the Democratic senate. and if rejected as it likely will Le, it will be followed by opg imposing a five hundred dollar tax nd requiring that cities shall levy as much more. This law will be guarded by many restrictions of the traffic not now found in the present one, and it will be made much more effective, and much easier to execute. Such a law will receive enough Democratic votes, in the senate to pass it, and Gov. ‘ Gray will not dare veto it. If the senate should reject it also, then the issue will be joined fair and square for 1888. The Prohibitionists this year polled 8,000 votes as against 3,000 two years ago. This does not show any actual permanent increase of the third party craze. The greatest increase came from strong Democratic counties, where the Democrats were- dissatisfied with their, own party, yet were not ready to join hands with the Republicans. They went to the polls to vote for some one on the local ticket and while there cast a. ballot Prohibition state ticket to express their dissatisfaction with their own party. Two years hence they will • ither be with the Republicans or back in their old camp. They also gained quite largely from the Greenbackers, that party having disintegrated. The third party

Prohibitionists have worked so long hanfl in glove with the saloon keepers, that should the Democratic party break its alliance with the league, the two a ties—lunatics and saloohatics*-might unite and organize a common party. That would bo a queer combination, but no more queer than the one that has been in existencebetween them since 1880. The Republicans downed the league this year in a fair fight, notwithstanding the aid it got from the Prohibitionists, and as they pledged the people to do certain things, they will keep the pledges as far as in them lies, and the prospect now is that the whisky element will be as greatly surprised at the success of tempermice in the next general assembly as they were at the result of the election.

The Dickens Library.

Tb'i huportanco (>t a good, well selevied Library in :v Public School cannot be over esiimated. It seems to be one of the requisites ,of a good school; it is the fountain from which so much pun-, sparkling water springs that tills the souls of young men and women. The nucleus of a library is found in our school: and, in time, wo trust, will develope into a grand, magnificent, useful library. Through the kindness and liberality of the good citizens of this e.iininunity we have'been enacted, from the money made by our Dick ens entertainment giver: last spring, to ptnehase' a collection of books numbering 212 volumes. And at our next effort, a Scott entertainment, which will be given sometime during the month of Much, we hope to be as successful as before: and trust the interest manifested by the citizens will be as hearty and liberal as before.

Speaking of life disgraceful movement on the part of Indiana Deinoerata to set aside the election of Lieutenant governor Robertson, the Boston Advertiser says: “Such action would never have beSfi undertaken if their candidate had been successful. If anything l onld dishonor the party Gray, McDonald, Voorhees and Holman, this affair would do it; btlt it was long ago remarked that a corrupt egg could not be made worse, ft is true, however, however, that its corruption becomes more evident when the respectable-appearing shell is broken.” The comments of the press, of which the above is a Sample, indicate that the action of the Indiana Democracy, shameful as it is, causes no surprise among those who are acquainted with its history. To create a sensation of the country, it should pursue an honorable course for a change,—tZoHmaZ.

Commissioners' Proceedings:

The regular December session of the County Commissioners’ Court began last Monday, the Commissioners, Hons. Prevo, Tabor and Watson, all present. Two saloon licenses were granted Monday; that of Theobold Carew, who will keep in Leopold’s stone building in Rensselaer, and Wm L. Pattee, who Avill keep in Fair Oaks. The petition of Peter Hoffman for a saloon license* fer the proposed new town in AValker tp., on the C. & I. (TjgjgjfeSiid, was dismissed at his ownrlquest. Stephen T. Comer, trustee of Union tp., was authorized to incur an indebtedness of SSOO to raise funds to build a school house at Fair Qaks. Ben McColly was appointed a constable for Union tp. Seventeen claims were considered and disposed of Monday. The official bond of Sheriff Yeoman was examined and approved. It is in the sum of SSOOO and the bondsmen are Allen J. Yeoman, B. F. Ferguson, Stephen T. Comer and M. L. Spitler. On to-day (Thursday) it is pro•posed to contract for a Superintendent of the poor farm, for the year beginning next April. It will be done without the formality of sealed bids, but the different parties who desire to compete tor the place will appeal* before the Boa yd, and that body will make what seems to them the most favorable bargain for the good of the county, all things considered.

Sudden Death of Allen Clark.

Mr. Allen Clark, one of the best known and most highly esteemed farmers of Marion township, died suddenly of heart disease, at his residence two miles north of Rensselaer, last Sunday evening, about 6 o’clock. He had two slight attacks of the disease during the preceding week, but had never before known that he was affected by it. At the time above mentioned, feeling the attack coming upon him, he had gone up-stairs to lie down, and after requesting his wife to bring some hot water,and while she was ont of the room, he laid down upon the bed and expired in a very few minutes, never speakng after lying down. The deceased leaves a widow and four sons, the latter ranging in age from about ten to eighteen years. He had just completed a fine new residence, and, indeed, had only moved into it the day before his death. His wife is a sister of J. C. and H. AV. Porter, of this place, and himself has three brothers in Ohio; and., one in Missouri. The Ohio brothers were present at the funeral., It is worthy of mention, that an older brother, wbo lived in Ohio, died ofjtlie same disease, and just as suddenly, several years ago. Mr. Clark was 57 years old in September last. He was a large, vigorous man, in apparent good health and reasonably sure of many years of life. The funeral was held yesterday forenoon; at the residence, Rev. D. Handley conducting the religous services. The remains were buried in Weston cemetery.

A EMMET K ANNAL, THE JEWELER, has one pair of solid gold, 14 karet, Gold Spectacles, which he will sell cheap for cash, and give to the purchaser 4. chances on “Music Box” for every dollar invested. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” ....
